I want you to give up on that idea

  "Haha!" The old man sneered with a couple of snorts, "Who else could have done such a good deed? Your grandma must have been showing off all the way outside just now."

  "I'm delighted, I'm going to have a granddaughter-in-law, can't I be happy? When the great-grandchild comes out, I'll push the little great-grandchild with one hand and hold our Yu Xuan with the other, showing off every day! The old lady is now full of pride, "I see which family's old lady can be as awesome as me! Many can hug their grandsons to show off, but few can hug their great-grandchildren to show off!"

  The old man grunted and said to Song Yu, "Make an appointment with your parents and let's go out for a meal together. Marriage also follows customs, first eat a betrothal dinner, we won't make the betrothal dinner too grand, just have a meal with our own family members. When Cheng Yue got married, it was like that too, so there's no need to differentiate between thick and thin."

  "The people from the Qi family, your parents are also familiar with them. When you meet, there's no need to get to know each other more, just consider it a reunion of two families. Later on, we'll discuss and arrange the marriage."

  Song Yu nodded in agreement.

  "However, Ziqi Liang hesitated and opened his mouth, "Dad, I've already told Chengzhi before that the wedding doesn't need to be a big deal. Just like the engagement banquet, just our close relatives and friends, having a low-key dinner is enough. We can also book a small banquet hall at Wang Chao's, but there's no need to make a big fuss about it."

  The old man furrowed his brow, his expression stern, and gave Qi Zhongliang a cold glance before turning to Qi Chengzhi: "What do you mean?"

  Qicheng's expression didn't change, and he said calmly: "I already told Dad before, I don't agree. Song Yu has nothing to be ashamed of, and neither do I when it comes to getting married. The eldest grandson of the Qi family finally gets a wife, there's no reason to sneak around. Song Yu deserves a grand wedding, letting everyone know that she is my formally wedded wife."

  " You——" Qi Zhongliang's face turned ugly, and at this moment, he looked like Qi Chengzhi had become the most disdainful son from his proudest son. "How can you not think about the Qi family? Can't you just think about yourself?"

  "Enough!" The old man interrupted coldly, "There's no need to make a big fuss about the wedding, but there's also no need to be secretive. A normal wedding is fine. When it comes to marrying a wife, there's really no need to be secretive. If you're going to marry her, then do it openly and honestly."

  "I wasn't too pleased with the matter between Cheng Zhi and Song Yu earlier, but since they're getting married now, there's no need to cover it up. Otherwise, outsiders might really think that the Qi family is guilty." The old man said slowly.

  "That's right!" The old lady was a hot-tempered person and couldn't stand the old man's slow speech, so she took over the conversation, "We do our own thing, why care about what others think? Those people have nothing to do with us, can they control your life or your faith? Why bother with those nonsense? Just for those irrelevant ideas, you want your son and daughter-in-law to suffer? Qi Zhongliang, that's how I taught you!"

  "Now that we've come to this point, I'll say it all at once! From a young age, I taught you that everyone is equal, don't look down on others with pride. Everyone is the same, bearing various pressures for life. You have your own great pressure, others have their own small pressure. You're just lucky to be born into the Qi family from a young age, what qualifications do you have to look down on others? What qualifications do you have to point fingers at others and pick faults?" The old lady's face was cold.

  "You're now qualified to look down on others, but you should thank me and your dad for giving birth to you. If you weren't our child, who would respect or fear you? Today you look down on others, tomorrow you'll be looked down upon! Stop putting on that superior attitude all day!"

  "You, Zhong Xun too, haven't you learned a lesson from Cheng Ze's matter? Are you reverting to your old ways again? At such an advanced age, when can I finally teach you something that even little kids know? Yu Xuan is so young, have you ever heard his kindergarten teacher complaining about him looking down on others in kindergarten? You're not even as good as five-year-old Yu Xuan, are you?"

  "I'm telling you, stop mentioning that Song Yu and Cheng Ji are engaged. It's a shameful thing for the Qi family to gossip about. Song Yu is my future daughter-in-law, she was raised with great care by her parents, like a precious gem. Now, they're willing to give their beloved daughter to our family, to become our daughter-in-law, why should she have to suffer from your mistreatment? Why should she be humiliated in our household?"

  "Other people's couple raised Song Yu so big, educated her so well, just to come to our house and suffer humiliation? Just to not even have a decent wedding, but instead sneakily marry in? What's so great about our family that makes it worth their suffering so much? You didn't give birth to her or raise her, what qualifications do you have to treat them with such neglect?"

  "You say they're embarrassing together? I think it's even more embarrassing to have a son like you!" The old lady was furious, her face flushed with anger.

  Qī Zhòng Xūn was very depressed, all the words were said by Qī Zhòng Liáng, how did he also get implicated and scolded?

  "Mom, it was big brother who said that, why did you scold me along with him?" Qi Zhonghui muttered.

  "Hmph! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! You're just waiting to see your brother's family make a fool of themselves, aren't you?" The old lady said gruffly.

  Qī Chéng Yuè glanced at Sòng Yǔ and said lightly: "Congratulations."

  Song Yu looked at her strangely, didn't expect her to say congratulations, although the expression wasn't great, but also didn't strongly oppose like before.

  Song Yu nodded, "Thank you."

  "Where's Jian Yi?" The old lady was excited when she first came in and didn't notice, but after hearing Qi Zhongliang's words, she got angry again. Only now did she realize that Jian Yi wasn't there.

  "He has an engagement tonight and will come pick me up after it's over." Qi Chengyue explained.

  ……

  ……

  "Soong Yu is completely unworthy of Qi Chengzhi, why should I step down!" Yu Keyao slammed her chopsticks on the table.

  "Can't you understand? Qi Chengzhi came to the company himself today, and told me to tell your family's elders to take good care of you, don't make a fool of yourself outside. He wants to marry Song Yu, so stop daydreaming!" Yu Zixiu was so angry that he wanted to throw his bowl and chopsticks at Yu Keyao's stubborn face.

  "He himself came to find you, said it so clearly, and you still want to bother him? The original intention of letting you get close to Qi Chengzhi was to climb up the Qi family, not to make an enemy of the Qi family! Now that you've made him dislike you, how can we still maintain a relationship with the Qi family?" Yu Zixiu said loudly.

  "I told you before, go and make amends with Song Yu, but you didn't. You said you could surpass Song Yu, and we gave you another chance. What happened? Qi Chengzhi came straight to me and had a falling out with me! In front of me, he spoke in the most unpleasant way possible! Why should I suffer humiliation because of you at Qi Chengzhi's hands?"

  "You were rude to Song Yu, and even if we go to make amends later, it's uncertain whether the Song family will accept us or not! Not only did you fail to improve our relationship with the Qi family, but instead, you made things more awkward. You're still stubbornly refusing to listen to advice!" Yu Zixiu looked at her sternly, "Even if you don't care about your own dignity, think about the dignity of our Yu family!"

  "Big brother, aren't you being too excessive with your words? Xiaoyao is your niece, and you're not helping her, but instead helping outsiders? Don't make it sound like it's Xiaoyao's fault if she didn't get along well with the Song family. In the past when the Song family went bankrupt, who was in a hurry to distance themselves from the Song family? It was you! You didn't even care about your own younger sister, what qualifications do you have to speak badly of Xiaoyao and say that she ruined things for the Yu family?"

  "It's Song Yu who has no shame, a woman who can first get engaged to Qi Cheng Ji and then get engaged to Qi Cheng Zhi, hooking up with two brothers of the Qi family in succession. In terms of heart and face, Yu is naturally not her opponent. Big brother, while thinking about the interests of the Yu family, shouldn't you also think about Yu's happiness first? Yu likes Qi Cheng Zhi, what's wrong with that? She wants to compete fairly with Song Yu, can't she?"

  "She didn't do anything that would harm the heavens or violate morality, nor did she resort to any underhanded tactics. She just bravely pursued the man she liked, like an ordinary girl. I don't think she's done anything wrong!" Liang Lihua's voice also turned cold and hard.

  In front of their parents, Yu Zixiu had said such unpleasant things about Yu Keyao, and she couldn't bear it.

  Liang Lihua stood up, "Why should Ke Yao sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of family interests? What's in it for her? The only ones who can benefit from this are your family, don't treat us like fools. You scolding Ke Yao, what's going on in your mind, you know clearly, don't you think this is too selfish?"

  "If Ke Yao can really drive Song Yu away, then the benefits to our Yu family will be far greater than being on good terms with the Song family. And you're going to fawn all over the Song family and ask for their favor? With Yu Qianying's temperament, she definitely won't agree! I think that Song Yu has a sinister personality just like Yu Qianying, if she really marries into the Qi family and gains power, will you still have any good fortune left?"

  "In my opinion, instead of trying to get along with the Song family, it's better to think of a way to drive Song Yu away from Qi Chengzhi and let Qi Chengzhi see Song Yu's true face. This is the right thing to do!"

  Let her go and apologize to Yu Qianying, trying every means to please her?

  Can't be done!

  Liang Lihua pulled Yu Keyao up and took her away with him.

  Yu Zixiu slammed down his chopsticks and shouted at Yu Zidong, "Is this your wife and daughter? How did you raise them?"

  Yu Zidong gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go back and properly advise them. Mainly because Li Hua had been suppressed by Qian Ying in the past, when the Song family was doing well, Li Hua was always under Qian Ying's shadow, suffering a lot of grievances. Later, because Song Yu snatched Qi Chengzhi away, Li Hua felt even more resentful and humiliated, which is why she reacted so strongly."

  "It's not entirely Kexiao's fault, big brother. She is your niece and you were too harsh on her. At that time, Kexiao knew Qizheng first, they met through a blind date, but then Songyu saw them together. I think Songyu deliberately stole Qizheng from us to get revenge. Do you really think we can make amends with such a vengeful woman by going to her and asking for forgiveness?"

  Yu Zixiu fell silent, lost in thought, and didn't say another word.

  ……

  ……

  At night, Jian Yi went to Qi's old mansion to pick up Qi Chengyue. When he arrived, he happened to see Qi Chengzhi's Range Rover leaving.

  At that time, Qi Chengzhi had not started the car yet. He saw Jian Yi walking out of the parking lot from inside the car. He didn't get off to greet him either and stepped on the accelerator to drive past Jian Yi's side.

  At the door, Qi Chengyue saw it and smiled: "Huh, just a little bit more and you would have met."

  Jian Yi's face was calm and silent, while Qi Chengyue also ignored his gloomy expression.

  She smiled and got on the car, waiting for Jian Yi to start the engine before saying in a good mood, "It's really a pity you didn't come today. My elder brother brought Song Yu back specifically to announce their engagement."

  Jian Yi stared ahead, silent and unresponsive, his hand tightening around the steering wheel before loosening again.

  Qī Chéng Yuè seemed to have not seen it, still with a relaxed face, "No wonder big brother insisted on taking Sōng Yǔ to Paris, it turns out he had planned to propose all along. Proposing in Paris is really romantic, isn't it?"

  She turned her head to look at Jian Yi, looking at his cold and stern profile at the moment, but she seemed even happier, stretching out her hand to hook around Jian Yi's arm holding the steering wheel, tilting her head to lean on his shoulder, "You didn't see it, today Song Yu wore a two-carat pink diamond on her ring finger, it's especially beautiful, and the color is especially romantic."

  "Ordinary people getting engaged, let alone pink diamonds, even a slightly larger and better quality diamond would be fine. My brother really has put in effort, such an exquisite ring, I don't know how much energy he spent to find it. He must have looked for a long time, it's not something that can be found in just a few months. That is to say, he had already started planning this thing a long time ago."

  Qī Chéng Yuè furrowed her brow, "But he's only been with Sòng Yuě for a few months, less than half a year. Does this mean that before he was even with Sòng Yuě, he had already made up his mind? In other words, he had decided to marry her before he even started pursuing her? This is just too unbelievable."

  Zi Chengyue shook her head, still finding it too unbelievable.

  "Actually, I'm quite envious of Song Yu, being liked by a man like my brother and still being so considerate to her." Her tone was filled with undisguised admiration, "A man like my brother should be the most ideal object in a woman's heart, right? That's the white knight that one paints in their mind, someone who can't possibly be met or exist."

  "To be loved by such a man, with so much effort, I don't know how many women will envy me. At least, I am envious." Qi Chengyue felt the arm under her palm, Jian Yi's arm was tightly wrapped around her, and she didn't care.

  "And also, it was a secret beforehand, nothing was said, and suddenly proposed in such a romantic place like Paris." Qi Chengyue sighed, "Such things, even if decades have passed, when you're old, you won't forget, will always remember, is a very precious memory."

  Qī Chéng Yuè paused for a moment, raised her head, and looked at Jiǎn Yì with a hint of a smile, "You say it's true?"

  Jian Yi glanced at her and said coldly, "What do you want me to say?"

  "I want you to give up that idea, Song Yu is going to marry my brother, so don't harbor any hopes." Qi Chengyue said coldly.

  He stared straight ahead, saying nothing.

  He didn't say another word all the way home. As soon as he got back, he pulled off the tie around his neck and headed to the bathroom: "I'm going to take a bath."

  Jian Yi locked the bathroom door, poured hot water into the bathtub, and the rapid flow of water from the faucet splashed onto the bottom of the bathtub, making a "patter" sound that covered up all other sounds in the bathroom.

  He took out another mobile phone with a simple style and not particularly fashionable, and called Song Yu.

  Zi Cheng went to take a bath. Song Yu looked at the unfamiliar number on her phone screen, frowned and answered it.

  "Song Yu, it's me." A low and gloomy voice came from the phone.

  "You're changing numbers all day, aren't you bored?" Song Yu's sarcastic remark.

  She was about to hang up the phone when she heard Jian Yi shouting from the other end: "Don't hang up! Didn't I tell you not to rush into marrying Qi Chengzhi?"

  "When am I getting married, who am I marrying, and when? You think you have the right to interfere with my life?" Song Yu was so angry that she laughed out loud, her fingers shaking with rage at his self-righteousness.

  She was furious and her hands were shaking as she hung up the phone, before Jian Yi could call again, she had already added this number to the blacklist.

  She's really been annoyed by Jian Yi to the extreme, now she can't even stand seeing him, let alone hearing his voice.

  "How come your face looks so bad?" came a light voice from Qi Chengzhi at the door.

  Song Yu looked up and saw him coming out of the bathroom, wearing only a pair of light gray cotton pants. The waistband was not tied, and the pants hung loose around his waist, revealing solid chocolate-colored abdominal muscles and two fish lines.

  Along the mermaid line downwards, a small bunch of black curly hair can still be vaguely seen at the very top.

  There was still water on his body that hadn't been completely wiped dry, with droplets clinging to his chest and abdominal muscles. Even though his skin was white, it didn't make him look any less masculine. His muscles were robust and toned, yet not overly bulky or knotted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable.

  His entire body exuded a refined and powerful aura.

  He had a large bath towel covering his head, with water droplets from the ends of his hair dripping down onto his shoulders, then sliding down his chest, abdomen, and all the way into his pants, merging into that small patch of black.

  Song Yu Meng swallowed hard, and at this moment, he had no resistance to his masculine charm.

  Qī Chéngzhī looked at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, as if he had seen through her good intentions. He carelessly wiped his hair and threw the bath towel aside, then walked over to sit down beside her.

  His arms naturally wrapped around Song Yu, his thin lips pressed against her eyelids, rubbing against her warm skin, and asked: "What's wrong with being so angry just now?"

  Song Yu smelled the scent of bath milk on his body, his upper body was exposed, she was surrounded by him, directly attached to his bare skin, and the water droplets on her body that had not been wiped dry made her nightgown wet.

  She originally thought his body was hot, and now he had just taken a bath and been soaked in hot water, making him even hotter.

  "It's nothing, just a nuisance call, a neurotic." Song Yu had her forehead against his chest, not wanting to let Jian Yi's words annoy Qi Chengzhi, especially with such boring talk.

  But her waist was tightened again, and she was directly picked up and held on his own legs.

  This movement made his pants slide down even further, revealing more of what was inside.

  Song Yu hastily lifted her head, not daring to look down, her face red to the point of death.

  Zi Cheng lowered his head and looked at her, knowing she wasn't telling the truth. He gave her a deep, piercing glance but didn't ask any more questions.

  Song Yu Zheng was nervous, wondering if he could deceive Qi Cheng Zhi, when he heard him say: "Are your parents free tomorrow? Let's go back, I'll formally propose to them."

  Song Yu couldn't help but muster up the courage to lift her head and look at him, his face didn't show anything out of the ordinary, as if he had really put the previous question aside, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
