Chapter 97 Engagement
Mr. Yan had already known about this when he returned to China the day before yesterday. He listened to it again today and was no longer as sad as last night. With the good news that Mu Qingge brought to him today, he soon calmed down.
"Old man, I'm going to get engaged." Yan Yuan said these words calmly, but another huge wave of arrogance was stirred up.
"Are you going to get engaged? Who are you?" The first one was not Mr. Yan, but Yan Wucheng. He stood up from his seat without composure. The sound of bowls and dishes on the table collided with the table and started to ring.
Yan Yuan, Mu Qingge, and Old Master Yan looked at Yan Wucheng at the same time.
Yan Wucheng realized that he was acting too aggressively, clenched his fists and quickly looked at Old Master Yan with an excited smile on his face. "Old Master, I'm a little excited. I haven't heard Xiao Yuan say this. Today is a double happiness. I can't control my emotions for a while."
"You are too excited, his second uncle. Didn't you hear Doctor Mu say? Don't be very sad and happy. You are not young anymore. Be careful of your health." Old Master Yan said earnestly.
"Yes, yes, yes, the old man cares. After all, Xiaoyuan is the only seed of the Yan family, and his elder brother and sister-in-law have a spirit in the sky, so there should be no regrets."
Mu Qingge and Yan Yuan looked at each other and chose to remain silent. Yan Wucheng also sat back in his seat. When he looked up, he packed up his emotions.
Yan Wucheng had a fatherly smile on his face and asked, "Xiao Yuan tells me, who are you going to get engaged to? Are you going to have that big star Chu Yunman?"
Mu Qingge suddenly mentioned it in his heart, and knew that the old fox would interfere. She stood behind Mr. Yan and couldn't see the old man's reaction when he heard the news. She could only see Yan Wucheng's lips slid, and a light of calculating flashed in her eyes.
"Old man, I'm going to get engaged to Qingge." Yan Yuan said with his eyes firmly looking at Old Man Yan. He raised his hand and waved at Mu Qingge, signaling her to come and sit down.
Mu Qingge smiled and after sitting down, the two of them held each other's hands together. She looked at Mr. Yan nervously. She was nervous and her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
Even though I heard Yan Yuan say that Mr. Yan likes her and treats her as his granddaughter and hopes that she and Yan Yuan will be together, after all, I heard that Mr. Yan is usually good to her, maybe because she is polite and polite to her for her contribution to treating Yan Yuan's hidden disease. But now it is different. If she cures Yan Yuan, perhaps Mr. Yan will put away this importance.
Mr. Yan looked back and forth at the faces of the two people, with a serious expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something. He had not expressed his opinion for a long time. His whole body exuded the calm and indifferent momentum of the parents.
Mu Qingge felt that the atmosphere in the whole room was changing, and what she was worried about seemed to be happening. Mu Qingge struggled to pull her hand back. Yan Yuan grabbed it tightly, and finally became intertwined.
After a long time, Mr. Yan asked, his voice was low, slow and solemn, "Xiao Yuan, you have already thought about it, right?"
"Well, old man, I have confirmed this matter and I hope you will receive your blessings." Yan Yuan's voice also became a little solemn.
"But although she looks similar, she is not. Wouldn't you regret it?"
Mu Qingge listened a little inexplicably. What does this mean?
"The only person I'm engaged to is Mu Qingge, no one else." When Yan Yuan said this, his eyes certainly looked at Mu Qingge.
The man's eyes were filled with sincerity and gentle smiles, encouraging her heart that was about to retreat.
"Doctor Mu, you know Xiao Yuan's legs are fast. Maybe you won't be able to recover in this life. Are you mentally prepared?"
Mu Qingge nodded, "Mr. Yan Yuan and I are not impulsive. Engagement is a matter for two people. We will stay together for the rest of our lives in the future. But my family is just a well-off family, and it is not as good as a wealthy family. There may be some unfamiliar families."
Mu Qingge still expressed her concerns. After all, Yan Yuan didn't care about being a good match, but she didn't know if Mr. Yan didn't care. Maybe he agreed now, and like the TV series, the parents held a huge check in front of her and asked her to leave.
"Child, you also said that you have to stay together for the rest of your life. The poor will not be poor all the time, and the rich will not be rich all the time. We say that every family has a great career and does not need to be a good match. Although I am old, what I care about the least is the prejudice of being a good match."
Mu Qingge was a little surprised. Generally speaking, people from wealthy families like the Yan family and from four major families should have married women of equal strength and background families as their wives in order to stabilize their status in the turbulent society at that time. Only in this way can the unity of power be stable.
Soon, Mr. Yan explained, "You know, Xiaoyuan's grandmother is also a commoner. When she married her, her family also disagreed with driving her out. At that time, she was pregnant. I happened to be doing business outside on a boat and didn't know. She was pregnant with her child, that is, my eldest son, Xiaoyuan's father, and she was running around to make a living. A woman's family wanted to live with her child in a chaotic world, so she could only rely on washing, cooking and doing miscellaneous work for the rich. When I found her, her hands were frozen, but the child was white and tender, and she was well raised."
Mr. Yan seemed to have aroused sad things, his turbid eyes were a little lost, his eyes were filled with tears.
"Grandpa, this matter has passed. Don't think so much, pay attention to your health." Yan Yuan's cold face was moved, and he persuaded a low voice.
"I won't say it anymore. So whether it's a wealthy family or a commoner's family, people's hearts are full of flesh. Ordinary people will not have intrigue and ambitions, and will be very simple. You have decided to be together, and I will not object."
"Thank you, my grandfather."
"The Yan family is about to have a happy event, so I will choose a zodiac auspicious day."
"Old man, Xiao Yuan had just had a close relationship with a little star before, so why did he marry Dr. Mu again? If this kind of thing is spread, will our Yan family lose the trouble in the industry?"
"The second master is worried. The news about Chu Yunman and I were just a gimmick, it was entirely because I invested in a commercial TV series for hype."
"His second uncle, that star is fine. She looks like she is not a simple child. She caused a lot of trouble at Xiaoyuan's birthday party last time."
Yan Wucheng heard the impatientness and disgust in the old man's tone, and immediately stopped talking. He didn't expect that Chu Yunman would offend Mr. Yan as well. He looked up at Mu Qingge, not angry. What's the point of Mu Qingge?
"What the old man said is that I will arrange for someone to count as a good day, and then take Doctor Mu's parents over to discuss the engagement. By the way, is Doctor Mu's parents in City A? Is Doctor Mu a local?" Yan Wucheng changed his tone and asked Xiang Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge was asked by Yan Wucheng, and some of her little did not know how to answer. If Yan Wucheng went over and told the matter at this time, her parents would not know what had happened.
"Uncle Second, you don't have to worry about this matter. After all, it's my big deal. Qingge's parents, I will go over and explain the matter clearly. Today I was just trying to tell the old man." Yan Yuan spoke out to relieve the situation.
"Xiao Yuan, this kind of engagement matter should be handled and arranged by the parents of both parties. What are the customs and habits of Doctor Mu's local engagement? Some of the preciousness of the dowry and betrothal gifts must be understood in advance. Could it be that Doctor Mu's parents don't know what you are going to engage in?"
Yan Wucheng smelled the signs of something wrong and began to become aggressive.
"Xiao Mu, your parents don't know about this, right?"
Mr. Yan was also a little confused. He was also anxious. In fact, the parents of both men and women should be at the dinner table and discussing together. Now that the parents of the woman are not here, it is a bit arbitrary to make a decision.
"Before I have time to say that I am not a local, my parents live and work in City C."
"Yeah, since that's the case, call your parents in advance and talk to you. Xiao Yuan still has to visit his future father-in-law and mother-in-law in advance."
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Mu Qingge returned to his dormitory. On the way Yan Yuan sent her back, Mu Qingge asked about his grandmother a little curiously.
Yan Yuan told her that her grandmother was the daughter of a small workshop family. She used to be the daughter of a textile and dyeing factory. Due to the turmoil, the dyeing factory went bankrupt. Her grandmother's family was destroyed and she was left. She happened to be discovered by Mr. Yan, who went out to do business. The two fell in love over time. After she took her home, she was forced to leave. After that, Mr. Yan married a daughter of the daughter of Yan to expand his power. The daughter of Yan got Mr. Yan drunk and gave birth to Yan Wucheng. Yan Wucheng's birth was an accident. After Mr. Yan took power, he was sent to a different courtyard to live with his children and the second house. Later, he found his grandmother and lived together. In the end, his grandmother died less than 30 years old.
In the end, Yan Yuan investigated that the second wife bribed the maid of the Yan family and put a chronic poison on her grandmother. Mr. Yan was heartbroken and vowed not to marry again in this life. After that, Yan Wucheng was exiled to Siberia. Until his father died, he returned to his country to attend the funeral and stayed there.
Because the second wife forced his grandmother away from him, Mr. Yan had always had grudges about this matter. No matter how good Yan Wucheng did on the surface, he could not let it go.
It was also proposed that the Yan family's property could only be inherited by the descendants of the Yan family.
Mu Qingge understood what Yan Yuan said. No wonder Yan Wucheng framed her so deliberately and competed for the battle.
Yan Wucheng often wanted to send his people to Yan Yuan's bed and get pregnant with Yan Yuan's child. However, he never succeeded. This incident was later disrupted by Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge can understand that when Yan Yuan was cold before, he was paralyzed and acted like a waste, and he could control Yan Yuan in a false way. Later, Mu Qingge appeared and the treatment effect became more beautiful. He immediately let his child climb onto Yan Yuan's bed, trying to conceive his child, thereby controlling Yan Yuan.
