Seeing that Mother Bear acquiesced to her opinion, Cai Lin was slightly relieved. She changed the subject and her tone became serious, "Uncle Xiong, actually, I came here today not only to catch up with Brother Gang and sister-in-law, but I also want to do something else.
I want to ask your opinion."
As these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the living room of the Xiong family became quiet for a short time. Everyone could tell that Cai Lin had something to say in her words tonight, and she finally got to the point!
Xiong Chen took a deep breath, his heart beat a little faster, but his face didn't look strange at all. What should come will come sooner or later, and you can't avoid it!
Grandpa Xiong took a sip of tea and said, "Xiao Cai, if you have something to say, you're welcome."
Cai Lin said seriously: "That's right. You see, the two children have been engaged for many years. Everyone in the circle, relatives and friends, including the company, knows about such a marriage."
"Furthermore, since Xiaochen returned to Tianzhou, his work has not been arranged. According to my Lao Tian's wishes, I want him to report to the Eighth Company as soon as possible. But boys, after all, are different from girls. Their families are stable.
, only then can you make progress in your career.”
"So I came here this time to ask if the marriage between the two children should be put on the agenda?"
Tian Qiuyu lowered his head and remained silent.
Xiong Chen frowned slightly and wanted to open his mouth, but when he raised his head, he happened to meet his mother's eyes.
Mother Bear shook her head slightly, signaling Xiong Chen not to express his position yet.
Grandpa Xiong paused for a moment, "That's what I said, but after all, this marriage was settled by me and Xiaotian back then. This is not popular among young people nowadays. I like Qiu Yu very much, and I have always regarded her as
As a granddaughter, but regarding the marriage between her and Xiaochen, I think it’s better to listen to the two children’s own opinions first, what do you think?”
Cai Lin nodded, "Uncle Xiong is right, I mean the same thing."
After saying that, she continued to ask, "Brother Gang, sister-in-law, what's your attitude?"
Mother Bear did not speak, but Xiong Gang, the head of the family, expressed his position, "As long as the two children are willing, can we parents object? Everything depends on the children!"
After receiving the Xiong family's statement, Cai Lin's expression became much more relaxed, she softened her tone, and finally asked: "Xiong Chen, Qiu Yu, what's your attitude?"
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Cai Lin gradually took the initiative on the scene and smiled before speaking, "Don't be shy, just say whatever you have to say. The elders of both families are here today and can make decisions for you. If you don't have any problem,
If so, we can just set the wedding date today!"
"It's okay if you have questions. Feel free to speak out. We are all open-minded people. How can we still make things difficult for you two children?"
As Cai Lin finished speaking, all eyes in the room fell on the two of them.
Tian Qiuyu was okay, her face was calm, and even her eyes didn't show a trace of fluctuation. She stood obediently beside Xiong Chen, quite like a husband and wife.
Xiong Chen took a deep breath, slowly puffed up his chest, and declined politely: "Aunt Cai, I don't want to be too anxious about the wedding..."
Cai Lin looked like she understood the righteousness well, "It doesn't matter, auntie can understand. You young people are pushed too hard by your elders, and you are all afraid of marriage. You don't want to be hindered by marriage at a young age. Your Uncle Tian and I
That’s what I mean, you don’t have to rush to get married, just get the marriage certificate first, and we’ll talk about the rest later, my family respects your ideas.”
Xiong Chen was silent for a moment, and finally summoned up the courage to say: "Aunt Cai, I..."
Cai Lin raised her eyes and her expression gradually became serious. She didn't stop him, as if she wanted to see through Xiong Chen!
Just now she was as amiable as an elder next door, but now she is a bit more dignified as the matriarch of the Tian family. After all, she is a figure who has been in the circles of the provincial capital for many years. She has an imposing manner. She doesn't need to say a word, just look at her.
Enough to express a lot of attitudes!
For example, at this moment, Xiong Chen saw a lot of things in Cai Lin's eyes. There were expectations, warnings, and some threats and scrutiny. The strong pressure that came out of thin air also blocked everything Xiong Chen wanted to say later.
In the mouth!
At the critical moment, Mother Bear suddenly spoke, her tone like a double-edged sword, implicitly reminding: "Xiaochen, you are no longer a child, you are a man, marriage is not a child's play, you should understand this truth."
"Qiu Yu is a good girl. If you really like her, put down your worries and treat her sincerely. Your father and I are both open-minded people. Our Xiong family will not say anything, but if you have any other ideas, just say it.
Come out, if the cow doesn't drink water, how can anyone force it on its head? No matter what you think, you are an adult and you must bear the corresponding responsibility for your own choices!"
Mother Xiong's words easily dissipated the pressure brought by Cai Lin just now, and made Xiong Chen relax. He understood what his mother meant. If he acquiesced to the marriage, no matter how resentful his mother was about what happened back then,
Huai, will completely let go of the past and recognize Tian Qiuyu as the daughter-in-law of the Tian family.
If he disagrees with the marriage, no matter what his father's position is, at least his mother will definitely be on his side.
Although the reason is simple, making the choice is not easy, because Xiong Chen knows that if he still insists on breaking off the engagement at this moment, it will be equivalent to severing the decades-long relationship between the Tian family and the Xiong family!
After all, Tian Qiuyu caused a lot of trouble back then. It was Xiong Chen who resisted everything and saved half of Tian Qiuyu's life. Moreover, this matter has been carried out for so many years, and the relationship between the two has almost been solidified.
, but now he suddenly regrets the marriage? What has become of this? It is equivalent to giving people hope of life first, and then pushing people into death. It is too cruel for Tian Qiuyu. This is why Xiong Chen is hesitant and has been hesitant.
reason!
As Xiong Chen fell silent, the atmosphere became a little tense for a moment.
Grandpa Xiong didn't say anything. He took a sip from the teacup, but still had a kind smile on his face, as if he had taken everything lightly.
Xiong Gang was a little nervous, because he knew in his heart that his son's statement at this moment would determine the direction of the family in the next few decades.
Cai Lin smiled softly and said, "Xiaochen, your mother is right. If you have any ideas, just say it. Uncle Tian and I have watched you grow up. Can we still make things difficult for you?"
After a brief hesitation, a girl's voice and smile appeared in his mind, which gradually made Xiong Chen's thoughts firmer.
Just when he was about to speak, Tian Qiuyu suddenly opened his mouth, "Mother, I have something to say!"
Just now, everyone was focusing on Xiong Chen, but Tian Qiuyu's words were like thunder!
