Chapter 719: Marry Into the Family

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yun Jinping and Shen Zhangqing did not have the chance to speak to Shen Xi yet.

Ruan Sisi and Jiang Yin were already all over Shen Xi, planning her wedding.

“The beach. A beach wedding is great, or even a wedding at sea. It’s romantic at the sea. Leave it all to me.” Ruan Sisi was so eager and more excited for Shen Xi’s wedding than her own.

“Sea? It’s dangerous. What if we come across a storm? Can Li Yuan swim?” Jiang Yin did not like the idea of the ocean. She objected to the idea and planted hers in Shen Xi’s head instead. “Xixi, let me tell you. You must have your wedding in a castle, like a princess and her prince. It’s so romantic. Which

castle do you fancy? I’ll plan it out for you.”

“Xixi, the beach is great. The beach.” Ruan Sisi stood by her suggestion. A white wedding gown with the blue ocean as the backdrop was a wonderful idea. Jesus. The thought of a wedding on the beach gave her chills.

“Castle! A castle is best.” Jiang Yin put her foot down. The castles were great and romantic. The royals in Europe always had their weddings in a castle to reflect their nobility and magnanimity.

“You can have the wedding at the beach and castle by finding yourselves boyfriends. You can do it wherever you want.” Shen Xi kneaded her temples as all that bickering was giving her a headache.

“Xixi, I’m still young.” Ruan Sisi was, in fact, a year older than Shen Xi. However, there was someone older than her. Ruan Sisi turned to Jiang Yin. “Why aren’t you married yet?”

Jiang Yin gave Ruan Sisi a noogie. “I noticed you’ve been getting in my face and poking your nose in my business lately.”

Ruan Sisi poutingly rubbed her sore head before hugging Shen Xi’s arm to hide behind her. She snapped back, “Xixi, do something about your teacher. She’s not getting any younger, and yet she refuses to find someone to settle down with. In the future… The future, I’l care for her.”

The threatening look from Jiang Yin made Ruan Sisi change her story. Fine, Jiang Yin did not have to get married since she had Ruan Sisi and Shen Xi to provide for her during her golden years.

Jiang Yin was happy with her reply. At least, all that teaching and nurturing were not in vain.

Shen Xi was held up by these two.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan was having a conversation with Shen Zhangqing and Yun Jinping.

Yun Jinping and Shen Zhangqing had no doubts about his love and affection for Shen Xi. Nevertheless, the sudden marriage caught them off guard.

So was the case with the Shen family.

God knows how the Fu family would react. The Fu parents might not respond harshly, but the Fu brothers were expected to drop in with a whirlwind of emotions.

Xuan and Qingli, in particular, had more than a bone to pick with Li Yuan. They saw Li Yuan as their enemy.

“There’s no need to rush the wedding planning.” Yun Jinping wanted her daughter to remain longer by her side since she still had so many years ahead of her.

“Mom, if you don’t feel comfortable with it, I can marry into the family instead.” Li Yuan understood what their biggest worry was as parents. They were scared that their daughter would not enjoy a good life after marrying out of the family.

That did not matter to Li Yuan as he was the only one left in his family. His home was where his fair lady was and wherever they were.

Clearing his throat, Shen Zhangqing put on a straight face. “This is a good idea. I think we can pursue this matter further.”

It had always been his intention to find his daughter a husband who was willing to marry into their family. That way, Shen Zhangqing could keep an eye on the husband under his roof. Shen Zhangging could teach the guy a lesson if the latter ever mistreated his daughter.

However, his daughter’s boyfriend happened to be the head of the Li household. Shen Zhangqing could not bring himself to propose the idea.

Although Li Yuan was the sole member of the Li family, this was an aristocratic family dating back to millenniums. It was wishful thinking to ask such a person to marry into their family.

Still, it carried a different meaning since Li Yuan was the one to bring up about marrying into the family. Ruan Sisi and Jiang Yin stood in awe to overhear the conversation.

Ruan Sisi spoke in hushed tones, “Xixi, Li Yuan sure has your best intentions in mind. I finally understand why you were in a rush to get your marriage license.”

Oh, gawd. If any man of her teacher’s partner’s status gave her their heart, Ruan Sisi would marry them right away!

Jiang Yin nodded in agreement. The Li family was no ordinary family. He was not of ordinary status, so for him to say that he would marry into the Shen family in such a natural and sincere manner commanded respect.

Barely any man in China would marry into any girl’s family. At least, the average man with a bit of money and influence would not go down that route.

Shen Xi glanced over and caught a glimpse of the smile across Old Shen’s eyes. She knew Old Shen was unable to resist the proposal as he had talked about getting a guy to marry into the family for a long time.

Now the said guy had put forward the idea. Of course, Old Shen was more than satisfied.

As expected, Shen Zhangging put the arrangement in place. “It makes no difference whether you marry into the family, but Xixi is our only daughter. We’d really hate to see her leave. Well, it’s not like you can stay away from Li Mansion forever, How about this? We can remove the walls between the two

houses. Toffeecito doesn’t have to climb the walls then. It’s convenient.”

“Honey, don’t forget the Fu family.” Yun Jinping reminded him.

Her husband did all the talking before she could put a word in. Shen Zhangging took it seriously when Li Yuan mentioned his intentions to marry into the family. Nevertheless, people might make fum of a figure of power and money like Li Yuan for taking the Shen family’s name.

“That reminds me. We have the Fu family, but they live abroad. You and Xixi have your careers in China. You can visit them during the holidays. The Fu family can have extended stays here after we take down the walls between the houses. The rooms should be enough.” Shen Zhangqing made sure

everyone was taken care of in his plans. The more he thought about it, the more he found his idea feasible. Once the houses were linked, the place would be bustling with people.

The household would only be merrier if they had two children after marriage.

Picking up on the conversation, Jiang Yin covered her mouth and snickered as she drew close to Shen Xi. “Your man seemed to have a grasp of your father’s temper. He only had to bring up marrying into the family to rope your father in.”

Shen Xi whispered back, “My dad has been talking about finding me someone who would take the family’s name.”

She had a hunch that Shen Zhangqing would have discussed the same with anyone if that someone was not a man in power like Li Yuan.

“But I think two houses aren’t enough. Don’t forget your brother and Lil’ Ye. Sisi and I want to drop by sometimes too. Make that three, no, four houses. Why don’t we just buy the whole row of villas?” Jiang Yin was seriously considering it.

Shen Xi was rendered speechless. If only they could have some personal space and time alone. “Ms. Jiang Yin, I think we can stay at Li Mansion. The place can house a lot of us..”
