Chapter 17: The Real Daughter of a Rich Family V. The Big Brother with Leg Disease 21
The couple never mentioned Shen Ke from beginning to end.
It was just a few routine inquiries, but he spoke like this, as if Shen Ke couldn't get married and wanted to force it on him.
How is it possible?
Shen's mother might have been a little hesitant before, but now that Shen Ke and Shen Lian are on top of each other, Shen's mother has sincerely regarded Shen Ke as her biological daughter.
Growing up in that kind of environment, Shen Ke could still be so outstanding. Only when such a person became the daughter of the Shen family would he not dishonor the Shen family's face.
Father Shen's expression turned ugly. He had always looked down upon Qi Xiao.
At that time, the engagement with the Qi family was actually just a joke. It was only because the two families were different from ordinary families that every joke had to be carefully considered, which made the engagement seem somewhat real.
Father Shen was very good at judging people, but when he saw Qi Xiao for the first time, he felt that this young man was a bit unreliable, and he secretly planned to cancel the engagement with the Qi family.
But before it could be implemented, he discovered that Shen Lian was not his biological daughter. After a lot of time was spent searching for Shen Ke, the matter was left idle.
Hearing Qi Xiao's words this time and seeing the expression on Qi Xiao's face, Father Shen's expression was very cold. He said:
"This matter we are talking about is about Shen Lian, what about Guan Ke'er?"
Yes, what does this matter have to do with Shen Ke?
Shen Ke didn't enter into their conversation at all.
Father Shen and Mother Shen are not people who want to sell their daughters for glory. They look like they want to force Shen Ke on him.
What's more, their Qi family's family background is similar to that of the Shen family, so there is no need to deliberately marry their daughter to the Qi family.
Father Shen even wanted to break off the engagement with the Qi family!
Mrs. Qi and Father Qi were originally forced to come here by Qi Xiao, and they felt a little reluctant.
As soon as they heard Qi Xiao's words, the two couples looked very unhappy.
Now hearing Father Shen say so straightforwardly, the expression on Father Qi's face and Mrs. Qi's face became even more uneasy.
Shen Ke is the biological daughter of Father Shen and Mother Shen. Their son originally wanted to marry their adopted daughter, and he had caused such a shameless incident before. They were already very ashamed.
Qi Xiao didn't expect Father Shen to say this.
After all, he is a young boy who has not inherited the family's property. He is far less scheming than Father Shen. In addition, Father Shen's face is serious and his whole body is very majestic.
He felt terrified as he looked at it, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
"Dad, Mom."
Shen Lian suddenly came down the stairs.
She was originally watching from upstairs, and when she saw Qi Xiao actually coming, a flash of shyness flashed across Shen Lian's face, and her eyes were full of admiration.
Qi Xiao is a responsible person, she knows it!
As long as Qi Xiao successfully convinces her parents today, she won't have to worry about her future anymore.
There is no need to worry about what happened before.
And because the parents of the Qi family came in person, even if Mother Shen was dissatisfied with her, for the sake of the Shen family's face, Mother Shen and Father Shen would never ignore her.
I will definitely save my face when I get married. It will be fine then!
But who knew that Qi Xiao would suddenly pursue Shen Ke.
Shen Lian saw that Father Shen, who showed no emotion or anger, was like this. She understood that Father Shen was angry now, and was afraid that Qi Xiao and Father Shen would get into trouble, so she hurriedly came downstairs.
He also called Father Shen and Mother Shen by the way.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Lian for a moment.
Qi Xiao had obviously informed Shen Lian in advance. Shen Lian was dressed very formally today and looked very cute and beautiful.
If the people present were unaware, they would probably be confused by her appearance.
But almost everyone present knew what exactly happened to Shen Lian yesterday.
Mrs. Qi and Father Qi even thought that Shen Lian had seduced their son, while Mother Shen simply believed that Shen Lian had no sense of shame and did not understand the restraint of girls.
The four adults didn't like Shen Lian very much.
But Shen Lian was somewhat calmer than Qi Xiao. After Shen Lian came down, the frequency of talking about Shen Ke was greatly reduced.
Due to Qi Xiao's insistence and Shen Lian's public embarrassment, the adults of the two families pinched their noses and began to discuss the marriage between their children.
Both families wanted to get things done quickly.
Mrs. Qi was reluctant. She was still thinking that her son was now obsessed with Shen Lian. If some time passed, her son might not have feelings for Shen Lian anymore.
It was a pity that when Qi Xiao saw that Mrs. Qi didn't agree immediately, his face instantly dropped.
Shen Lian also looked at Mrs. Qi in disbelief with wide eyes, a little hurt in her eyes.
She seemed to find her appearance very pitiful.
Mrs. Qi was so disgusted by her appearance and heartbroken by her son's attitude that she simply agreed.
Anyway, if Shen Lian dares to act like a monster in the future, she will take care of it.
The worst case scenario is a divorce.
The perfunctory attitudes of the two families determined that Shen Lian's wedding was not a big deal, and the dowry given by the Shen family was not much. Correspondingly, the betrothal gift given by the Qi family could only be considered satisfactory in the upper class at best.
This is completely different from Shen Lian's imagination.
Qi Xiao didn't understand the twists and turns involved.
He simply saw that the two families had reached an agreement, and his face instantly showed a very happy look.
I can finally marry Lian'er home!
Shen Lian was still aggrieved and prepared to hint Qi Xiao to say a few words for her.
Unexpectedly, Qi Xiao was so happy that he didn't notice anything strange about himself.
Shen Lian didn't dare to say it herself, so she could only swallow with grievance the wedding lineup she had fantasized about since she was a girl.
The two parents discussed the approximate cost of the wedding, and the rest of the procedures were left to the master.
This matter needs to be compiled by the male’s parents.
There was no joy on the faces of the two families. After discussing, Mrs. Qi and Father Qi left.
Qi Xiao obviously wanted to say something else to Shen Lian, but Shen's father and Shen's mother's expressions were equally ugly. Qi Xiao finally said nothing and turned around and left with his parents.
Anyway, their marriage has been put on the agenda and they will soon be able to see each other every day.

Lu Zhai at this moment.
After daybreak, Lu Yu slowly woke up from his dream.
After a satisfying sleep, every pore in his body exuded comfort and laziness.
Such a feeling had not appeared to Lu Yu for a long time, so that when he looked at the bright sky outside, he was a little stunned.
I actually slept from last night to this morning?
Lu Yu moved his hand, wanting to take the mobile phone on the bedside table to see what time it was.
Just as he moved, he felt a jade arm pressing on him.
Lu Yu frowned and looked aside, then looked at Shen Ke's flawless face at close range.
Shen Ke is extremely beautiful, even when she wakes up now, even without makeup on her face.
Still impeccably beautiful.
Lu Yu has slept alone since he was a child. This is the first time he has experienced the feeling of waking up with another person next to him.
It seems... not that bad.
