The screen went silent once again.

Shen Chengyi suddenly felt that he should be stuck in there for another two hours.

Now, she was sitting on a chair, her face ashen. She was staring at her precious son holding the hand of another young master. Looking at the excited expression on his face, she couldn"t help but wish she could immediately marry him.

"Why him?"

Son, is it your plan to tell your mother?

To cover up another girl?

Was that girl not good-looking?

Or bad family background?

"So you plan to use Xiao Jing to stimulate us first?"

Yan Jun asked cautiously.

Shen Chengfeng"s tone was as calm as usual, "Mother, I would never joke about my emotions, and I would never use my soldiers to cover up the truth. What you see now is the truth."

"Cough cough, third brother, I think you should think this matter over. After all, even if we agree, General Xiao Yao is still sitting outside the door. Do you think he will agree to this ridiculous matter?"

Shen Chenghuang looked at his mother, who was about to rush over to kill his son, and stepped in between the two.

Xiao Jing silently observed the entire situation. Did the team leader forget to explain an important matter?

He did not seem to say that he was a pretty girl.

She noticed that the future mother-in-law"s bloodshot eyes were fixated on her beautiful appearance. In the next moment, she would grab onto her hair and shout while baring her teeth:

"It"s you, it"s you, this vixen, who seduced my son. What exactly do you want from him?"

Your captain is very poor, and he only has two hundred dollars to go out, what are you trying to do with him?

Was it because he was cold and m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic? "

Xiao Jing s.h.i.+vered. She swallowed her saliva and gently tugged the corner of her captain"s clothes. She leaned close to his ear and gently whispered into his ear, "Captain, did you forget to tell me who I am?"

"They can"t see that I"ve overestimated the intelligence of my parents."

Shen Chengfeng replied.

"…"

Shen Chengfeng pursed his lips and smiled, "I said to leave it to me to deal with, don"t worry."

Xiao Jing once again noticed her sharp eyes. She carefully twisted her neck, and as expected, all four pairs of eyes landed on her thin body. This was trying to p.r.i.c.k her into a beehive eye.

Yan Jun touched her forehead and said with a haggard expression, "No, I can"t. I need to go lie down."

"Ol "Two, take your mother out for a rest."

He was so calm that when he picked up the teacup, he didn"t even notice that his right hand was shaking violently.

Shen Chengfeng poured tea for his father and asked, "Father, don"t you like Xiao Jing?"

"I like this child, but I don"t like you together."

Shen Yitian sighed, "It"s that Xiao Man downstairs. How good should she be."

"Father, do you think she"s not good enough?"

Shen Tianyi did not say a word.

"Father, haven"t you noticed anything?"

Shen Chengfeng held Xiao Jing"s hand tightly, as if he was about to crush her hand into his body.

Shen Tian"s gaze happened to land on their hands. Wait a minute, he didn"t wear gloves. That"s right, he didn"t wear gloves at all.

"Father, she and I are a match made in heaven."

Shen One was sure that what she saw wasn"t an illusion. She frowned and asked, "What"s going on?"

"She and I are like tea being naturally released by water. We are a match made in heaven."

Shen Tian cast a sidelong glance at his eldest son.

Shen Chenghuang nodded, "Third brother"s words are reasonable. Even if we find a woman for him, he can only be touched. Why don"t we find one? Cough cough."

Shen Tian fell silent once more. He was thinking, a.n.a.lyzing, planning, his daughter-in-law, who had always been filled with antic.i.p.ation, was now standing before him. However, when he first saw her, the voice coming from her back was that of a girl.

He leaned heavily against the back of the chair, his vision drifting and drifting, a little disorientated.

Accept it and accuse it?

"Father, there is one more thing that I must tell you. Xiao Jing is actually —"

"BOOM!"

Old Madam Shen pushed the door open and put down the kitten in her hands before walking in with great interest. "Seems like I"m late."

Everyone stood up and Shen Tianyi hurriedly said, "Didn"t mother just send someone to say that she will not be back tonight?"

Old Lady Shen went straight forward, "When it"s so lively, I suddenly feel that it"s a pity to miss it. Even if it"s just to watch the show, I have to come back."

Shen Tian took the initiative to move aside from the main seat, retreating to the side. "Yes, you can come back anytime you want."

"Sit down. All of you like to let me, this old woman, raise my head and talk. If you don"t feel tired of standing, I feel tired."

"Yes, yes, all of you sit down obediently."

Shen Yi sat at the side obediently.

"Where"s your wife?"

Old Madam Shen looked at the two missing people and asked, "Are you out of breath?"

Upon hearing his mother"s tone of gloating, Shen Tianyi was at a loss for words.

Old Madam Shen waved at Xiao Jing, "Come over here and let grandma take a look."

Xiao Jing sat beside the old man, her cheeks slightly red.

Old Madam Shen smiled. "Aren"t you satisfied that she"s so beautiful?"

"Mother, this is not about whether we are satisfied or not, it"s about whether or not it is appropriate."

Shen Tianyi said.

"So you don"t think they"re right?"

"Does Mother think it"s appropriate?"

"Before this, I already felt that I might have given birth to a blind son, but now, it seems like I"m really blind. Old Third, don"t speak the truth, let them figure it out for themselves. This person has been astute for a lifetime, and forcefully forced himself to become a fool at a critical moment."

"Yes, Grandma."

Shen Tian looked at the duo in bewilderment, but he did not dare to question his mother. He could only frown.

"Let"s go. Accompany an old man like me and we can be considered to be familiar with the Shen family"s mansion."

Madam Shen grabbed Xiao Jing"s hand and directly walked out of the study room.

Shen Chenghuang was confused, "Father, why do I feel that grandmother knew about Third Brother and Fourth Young Master Xiao"s relations.h.i.+p?"

"I can tell."

Shen Tian shot a glance at his third son, who was really taciturn, "Explain everything to me."

"Father, even if I didn"t say it, you would have already seen through such a simple and obvious thing."

Shen Chengfeng saluted and left the study room as well.

"What does he mean by that?"

Shen Yitian pointed at his son, who spoke indistinctly.

Shen Chenghuang said, "Third brother is scolding you for being blind."

Shen Tian slapped him on the back, "Speaking of which, it"s quite strange. Regardless of whether it"s a man or a woman, your third brother has brought them back. What about you?"

"What about your Miss Maple Forest?"

Shen Chenghuang looked at the ceiling guiltily, "There are so many elders downstairs. As the host, we should go down to welcome them."

With that, he fled.

Shen Yitian sighed.

Seeing the Shen family members leaving the study room one by one, Xiao Yao"s smile became more difficult to conceal. He felt like he was being trampled by thousands of horses and gra.s.s, and someone had finally tasted it.

Shen Tianyi gave a cold snort and stepped forward. "You knew this early in the morning, didn"t you?"

"If you knew earlier, you would have known sooner or later. Tell me about it. Our Xiao family is no ordinary family. The children of the Xiao family weren"t taken away so easily."

Xiao Yao took a sip of his tea and said, "I will take care of the betrothal gift myself."

"Who said they were going to give you a bridal gift?"

Thinking about how he could shout out loud and about the guests coming and going in the hall, Shen Tianyi was forced to grind his teeth and mutter under his breath.

"Is your Shen family willing to let Shen Chengfeng marry into our Xiao family?"

"It"s not that I can"t, but since both of you have requested it, I can be considered reasonable. Let"s do it this way, I"ll go back and prepare the betrothal gifts."

Shen Tian stared expressionlessly at the man who said such sarcastic words. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You don"t object to them being together?"

"Why object?"

Xiao Yao thought for a moment, then suddenly understood. "You also think that your son isn"t worthy of my Xiao Jing?"

"Even if my son doesn"t marry, I don"t want him to be laughed at by the entire capital. Take your Xiao Jing home. We will treat this matter as though it had never happened."

"Shen Yitian, swallow your words."

Xiao Yao slammed his hands on the table and stood up. "Your short-lived son bullied my Xiao Jing. You want to send her away so easily?"

"You are bullying my Xiao family and there"s no one else, right?"

What do you mean by a short-lived son? Xiao Yao, you"ve made things right, my son is handsome and elegant, and he looks like a tree in the wind. In the entire imperial city, who doesn"t hold onto his hands and offer them to him.

"What part of my family"s Xiao Jing is gentle? She"s not virtuous anymore, not cute anymore?"

Look at that cold, ungrateful son of yours.

"I don"t want everyone to know about this occasion. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it another day."

"What talk?"

"Don"t talk about it."

Xiao Yao threw down his wine cup, "Even if I don"t like Shen Chengfeng, he is still someone my child likes. Our Xiao Clan is also a reputable family in the capital, and I will not agree to let my Xiao Jing marry into your Shen family. If you want them to marry, bring Shen Chengfeng into our Xiao Clan."

"You wish. No matter whether Xiao Jing is a man or a woman, my son is the one above."

"…"

Who the f.u.c.k cares about the top and bottom.

"If you want to get married, it"s only your family"s Xiao Jing marrying into my Shen family. There is no room for discussion."

"You"re the one who disdained my Xiao Jing first. I was afraid that even if I married the child, I would still be angry. Let me tell you, there"s no room for negotiation. Either you marry into the family or you can slap the child."

Shen One clenched her teeth and said, "Who did you say is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d?"

"No, that"s not right. Eight is a life of longevity."

Shen Tian took a deep breath and tried to endure it, but his rage soared to the skies. He threw himself over and said, "I"ll tell you Xiao Yao, I won"t beat you to death today. I"m ashamed of my Shen family"s ancestors."

"Shen Tian, I should say that. The millions of heroic souls of our Xiao family are all watching from the sky. My family"s children have been spoiled by your heartless son. Your father is even more displeased."

"Bang, bang, bang."

The gla.s.s shattered, the table collapsed, the carpet broke, and the two figures tangled together.

Below the main building, the guests heard the commotion and curiously craned their necks to look in the direction of the second floor. Occasionally, they would see a figure being pushed over, and then that person would pounce back with bared fangs and brandished claws.

Shen Chenghuang sprinted up to the second floor and when he saw what was happening, he turned pale with fright, "Father, Marshal Xiao Yao, stop fighting. If you continue fighting, you will have to go to the hospital and lie down for the new year."

Xiao Yao bit on Shen Tian"s arm, baring his teeth, "Let me tell you, the children of my Xiao family were not bullied by your Shen family for no reason. Get this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d Shen Chengfeng up here right now."

Shen Tian refused to be outdone and bit back, "You"re not allowed to call your third brother up. The children of my Shen family are not being chased around by your Xiao family."

Xiao Yao gasped for breath as he pushed away the merciless Shen Nantian. He clenched his fist tightly, listening to the chaotic footsteps on the stairs. There were two cuts on his face, and blood was seeping out from the wounds.

Xiao Jing quickly ran up to the second floor. Seeing that both of them were bleeding at the same time, she frowned and asked, "Father, why are you two fighting?"

"Come here."

Xiao Yao extended his hand towards her.

Xiao Jing walked up and noticed that Marshal Chen was wearing a similarly handsome face. She wanted to remind them that if they didn"t greet him next time, they would be laughed at.

Xiao Yao grabbed his daughter"s hand and pointed at her face, then at her figure, "Such a beautiful face, such a angular body, is your son"s ice awl worthy of her?"

"Brother Xiao, I didn"t think that Xiao Jing wasn"t pretty enough, but don"t you think that it was too sudden?"

They had two children, two children — "It was hard to say."

"What happened to my child?"

"No life or no touch?"

Xiao Yao asked straightforwardly.

Xiao Jing choked and coughed, "Father, we should be more reserved about this matter."

Xiao Yao nodded, "I will be more reserved."

Looking at the increasing number of guests, Shen Tianyi suppressed his superfluous words and said, "We will discuss this matter between our two families in two days."

Xiao Jing stood to the side and saluted as she watched her superior leave.

The second floor instantly returned to silence.

Xiao Yao casually wiped the blood off his face and mumbled, "You didn"t tell them you were a girl?"

Xiao Jing shook her head. "I was planning to tell you the truth, but later on, the captain said that the time wasn"t right. Anyway, I"m not in a hurry, so we"ll talk about it in a few days."

"No wonder Shen Yi messed up his limbs. That"s right, if your big brother did the same thing that day, I"m afraid he"d have to break his legs."

Xiao Yao couldn"t help but laugh as he shook his head.

"And you fought with him?"

"Anyway, it"s boring. It"s been a long time since I"ve relaxed my muscles and bones. But this Shen Tianyi is like a woman fighting in groups, he"s always yelling at his face."

Xiao Jing took out a handkerchief and gently wiped off the blood on his face. "You are the leader, aren"t you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

Xiao Yao held his breath as he wiped the dust off his face with the child"s hand. He looked at the child in a daze and asked, "Do you feel wronged?"

Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment. After she came back to her senses, she shook her head. "It"s hard to accept this matter on anyone"s body."

"That won"t do. We have to blame that Shen Chengfeng. Go and call him over. I have to ask him what his intentions are today and bring you back with a grand voice. Then, what should we do?"

Then he just patted his b.u.t.t and prepared to leave? "

"The captain has his own plans."

Xiao Jing lowered her eyes.

Xiao Yao sighed, "What are his plans?"

"I thought that I was here to discuss the date, but I had already prepared my request early in the morning."

"…"

"Shen Chengfeng is not efficient enough, I have to talk about him."

Xiao Yao stood up and strode down the stairs like a shooting star.

Xiao Jing stood on the same spot with both hands on the fence, overlooking the famous crocodiles coming and going in the hall.

"Today, I prepared to meet my future daughter-in-law. I even took out all the gifts that I treasured for many years."

A lonely voice sounded from behind him.

Xiao Jing instinctively turned around. When she saw the person who had just arrived, she straightened her back and said, "Sir."

"So I"ve always seen my daughter-in-law full of each other."

"Child, did you first fall for him, or did he fall for you first?"

"Is that important, sir?"

Xiao Jing asked instead of answering.

Yan Jun shook his head. "It"s already like this. It doesn"t matter anymore."

"If the captain doesn"t want me to say something, I can"t say it."

Xiao Jing lowered her voice. "I really want to be with the captain for the rest of my life."

Yan Jun"s grip tightened as she said, "I understand."

"If you"re still very tired, I won"t disturb you. I"ll go accompany the madame."

"Child."

Yan Jun stopped Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing didn"t understand why she stopped him. She turned around and asked, "Sir, is there anything else?"

"Since you are someone who works for him, it"s fine. Since I, Yan Jun, can accept that my little brother likes you, I naturally can accept that my son likes you. I am not a superst.i.tious person, nor am I the kind of person who doesn"t understand common sense. However, you have to remember this: after you two are together, even if there are mountains and seas of flames ahead of you, you will not abandon him."
