Chapter 479 - Marriage Proposal (Part 2)
They wouldn't have cared about ten million if it were any other time, but right now, they couldn't be more excited.
"This young man is Kang Zhaolong, right? What a handsome man! "Xiao Ji said to Zhaolong as he accepted the box with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Xiao, I'm Kang Zhaolong!" Zhaolong said politely.
"Yes, he's a good match for our Xinyan!" Xiao Ben nodded as well, annoyed at his niece for not knowing her place. House Kang was such a powerful family, after all. Why wasn't she interested?
They'd tried to persuade her for a few days, but she still wouldn't agree. Xiao Ben and Xiao Ji were helpless! At the end of the day, Xinyan was just a distant relative, not a direct descendant of the Xiao family. They couldn't ask for anything.
House arrest wasn't the way to go, they had to let her go. Xinyan's parents, on the other hand, were a bit against the marriage at first, but Wang Xuben fell silent after hearing that the man was Doctor Kang's grandson.
Qinlin, on the other hand, didn't have much of an opinion. She'd been listening to Wang Xuben all these years, and now that Wang Xuben had agreed, she had no objections. The most important thing was that Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben had said that if they agreed to the marriage, they'd give up on the shares mentioned in the old man's will. But if they didn't agree, they'd take back a portion of the shares from Wang Xuben's company, and they'd threaten to ally with House Kang against his medicine company!
Now, Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben were glad that Xinyan was the only one who was against the marriage. There wouldn't be any problems as long as they got through to her.
"Where's that Wang Xinyan? Why don't you call her out so I can see my future granddaughter-in-law? " Doctor Kang asked, smiling as he sat on the sofa. As a grandfather, he was quite satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law, despite the fact that this was a political marriage.
"I'll go get her now!" Xiao Ben gave his brother a look before walking into the living room.
"I say, sis, brother-in-law, did you guys really get through to my niece's thoughts? Doctor Kang himself came to our house to propose marriage, this isn't something just anyone can do! "Xiao Ben said as he looked at Wang Xuben and Qinlin, who were standing in front of Xinyan's room.
"Little Yan doesn't agree. I think it's fine …" Although Xiao Qinlin didn't have any opinions, she still loved her daughter very much. Seeing that her daughter was unhappy, she naturally didn't want to get married.
"Or you're a woman with long hair but short knowledge!" Xiao Ben was stunned and said with some annoyance, "What kind of family does Doctor Kang come from? His eldest grandson Kang Zhaolong is the future heir of House Kang, how could Xinyan lose out by marrying him? "
"Qinlin, I've heard of this Zhaolong before. He's an excellent student, and he doesn't have a single bad habit! I've heard that he hasn't even had a girlfriend. I think he won't mistreat Xinyan! "Wang Xuben said.
Although he was afraid that something would happen to the company, he didn't want his daughter to be unhappy in the future, so he secretly got someone to investigate Zhaolong. The results of the investigation surprised him!
Was this really a rich young master? He had been studying since he was young, and now that he had a PhD, he still had to continue his studies. Most importantly, he didn't have the habit of fooling around with women like other rich young masters. He didn't have a girlfriend since he was young!
This was a world of difference between him and his cousin, Kang Ming Ming!
So after getting the report, Wang Xuben didn't reject the marriage anymore. Where else could he find such a good son-in-law? Not only was he good at his studies, he had a good character, and most importantly, he had a good family background! With Miracle Doctor Kang's support, there was no need to worry about the development of his medicine chain company.
"Is that so … But Little Yan doesn't like him. They've never met before, how could they have a relationship?" Xiao Qinlin knew that Zhaolong was a good person, so she didn't reject him. But thinking about how her daughter didn't have feelings for him, she still hesitated.
"Can't feelings be cultivated? Plus, this is just an engagement. If things really don't work out, we can call it off! " Xiao Ben said. "Right now, we're just using this marriage as an excuse to get some benefits for both of us. Let the two of them get to know each other first, and maybe they'll develop feelings for each other!"
"I see …" Xiao Qinlin thought about it. Her second brother's words made sense, but an engagement wasn't a marriage. Let the two of them get to know each other first, and if it worked out, they could stay together. If it didn't work out, they could call it off!
"Yeah, Doctor Kang's family is waiting outside! Hurry up and get Xinyan out! "Xiao Ben was afraid that Doctor Kang would panic.
"Alright then!" Xiao Qinlin walked into the room and pushed out a dumbfounded Wang Xinyan after a while.
Xinyan didn't understand- why did her parents get convinced by her uncle and second uncle? Asking her to get engaged to someone she didn't know?
Her father gave her a lot of reasons, saying how great Zhaolong was, but Xinyan didn't like him. She couldn't fall in love with someone she didn't know!
"Dad, is your company really that important?" Xinyan raised her head and looked at her father, hoping that he would change his mind.
"I …" Wang Xuben was a little embarrassed, but the company was his life's work. He didn't want it to be ruined.
"I understand," Xinyan sighed. Xinyan sighed. "I can go out with you guys, but I didn't agree to the engagement."
"Alright, let's talk outside. Don't say anything when we get out. Maybe you'll like him just by looking at him!" Xiao Ben said. "Zhaolong is a rare young man!"
"…" Xinyan didn't say anything. There was no point in saying anything else. How could Xinyan fight back when her parents had already agreed to it? How could she change?
But she didn't plan on marrying a stranger. It was just an engagement, not a marriage. She'd just have to find a way to escape when the time came. Xinyan would never accept a marriage arranged by her family!
What year was this? There were still arranged marriages?
Xinyan was brought to the Xiao family's living room by Xiao Ben. Zhaolong was immediately attracted by Xinyan's elegant figure. He didn't have a girlfriend, but that was just to show off in front of his grandpa. In fact, he'd been longing for a woman for a long time.
Now that Xinyan was officially his fiancee, Zhaolong didn't need to hide anything anymore. His family wouldn't say anything about how he treated Xinyan.
