Wen Yi pursed her lips. "Of course not."
"Oh?"
Gu Heng glanced at her but did not comment.
Wen Yi was silent for a few seconds before she said unhappily, "If I say that I want them to stay for a few more days and get rejected, how embarrassing would that be?"
"It's time for them to leave. Otherwise, it won't be easy to get them to come back next time if they get bored."
Gu Heng took a sip of the soup and put down the bowl. He said seriously, "I heard that something has happened to the Pleasure Group in China. Ling Han has been keeping his cool. He hasn't mentioned it since you refused to let him leave."
"His small company will only cause a small stir in Lanjiang. It won't be a big deal even if it collapses in the end. I think he just needs to focus on accompanying Yan Yan."
Wen Yi felt sorry for her daughter and did not care about her future son-in-law's career. In fact, she had also heard about the Pleasure Group's incident, but she deliberately turned a deaf ear to it. She just wanted to see what choice Ling Han would make between his career and a woman.
"That's what you think. Have you thought about Yan Yan?"
"I'm doing this for Yan Yan."
Gu Ling sighed. "What I'm saying is, if Yan Yan knew about this, she would definitely ask Ling Han to leave immediately. She probably wouldn't even bother to greet us. Do you think that's what you want?"
Wen Yi was speechless.
After a while, she suddenly snatched the bowl of white fungus soup from Gu Heng and said impatiently, "Ask them to leave tomorrow."
"I haven't finished eating yet." Gu Heng only had a spoon left in his hand.
Wen Yi gave him an annoyed look and slammed the door shut.
"What are you eating? Go to bed early. You don't know how to take care of yourself at your age."
The servants in the living room were used to this. Sir and Madam were quarreling again. To be precise, Sir was being scolded by Madam again.
The next day, Gu Heng briefly mentioned the small domestic financial crisis at the dinner table.
"These two days, Gu Chi sent back news saying that there are changes in the domestic market. The stocks of several large listed companies have fallen. Shareholders who can sell their shares are selling them like crazy. What do you think about this?"
After that day in the fencing room, Gu Heng's attitude towards Ling Han was still lukewarm, but she would take the initiative to discuss some work-related issues with him. She would also discuss international financial news or current events with him. Everyone was used to this.
"I think there's more to this matter than meets the eye."
Ling Han put down his chopsticks, took a sip of water, and said seriously, "The several listed companies that have fallen continuously are all founding companies of well-known brands. This is also the reason why the shareholders are panicking. However, there is no change in the overall stock market. It may be manipulated."
Gu Ling glanced at him with a hint of admiration in her eyes. "What about Pleasure? There seems to be a lot of trouble recently. Do you need help? "
"It's okay. Pleasure has a strict internal system. No matter what happens, there will be someone to deal with it. I've already arranged it before I came. Thank you for your trouble, uncle."
Ling Han's attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. Even in front of his future father-in-law, who was once known as the "god of stocks", he was calm and composed.
"Don't be so stubborn. When the time comes, you'll lose your marriage money. My daughter will have nothing to eat with you."
Wen Yi rolled her eyes at him with a look of disdain.
"Auntie, you mean … you agree to my marriage with Yan Yan?" Ling Han was stunned, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
"What does it matter if I agree or not? Haven't you been holding the marriage certificate all this time? Can I force my daughter to divorce you? "
Wen Yi had always been like this. She had no scruples when speaking. When Ling Han first came, she still put on the appearance of a rich lady. Every day, she put on airs and acted like she was unreachable. Ever since she dragged him to the mine, her entire style changed. She couldn't hide it anymore.
In Gu Sinian's words, if Wen Yi had been born in a time of war, it was very likely that she would have gone to the mountains and become a bandit.
"You and my father both agreed, right?"
Ye Huanyan asked cautiously.
Wen Yi snorted and grabbed her hand. "Just make do with it first. If you can't, then we'll talk about it."
Make do with it.
When she heard this, Ji Xiaoyue choked on a mouthful of water. Gu Sinian helplessly patted her back.
The dream lover of thousands of women in Lanjiang City, the golden bachelor, in Wen Yi's eyes, was just a person who could make do with it.
The corners of Ling Han's lips twitched visibly.
His mother-in-law was really carefree.
Gu Heng smiled and glanced at his wife. In the end, his eyes landed on Ling Han and he said in a deep voice, "You have your own career. You can't just leave it like this. How about this? Pack up your things and go back to China tomorrow. After you're done with everything, we'll meet with the elders in your family and talk about the wedding."
The elders in Ling Han's family were Wen Qingwan's family. His maternal grandparents were still around, but they were not in good health, so they probably couldn't talk much. Fortunately, there were a few uncles and aunts in the family. The meeting between the parents of both sides was just a formality. The life and death of the wedding was still in the hands of Ye Huanyan. Ling Han knew this better than anyone else.
"What about me?"
Ye Huanyan asked cautiously.
Before Gu Heng could say anything, Wen Yi raised her chin and snorted. "Stay with me until the wedding. If the wedding dress doesn't fit, we can change it at any time."
"Don't do that, mom. I have a job too. I have to go back to work on my movie. When the time comes, you'll have to go to the cinema to watch it. You don't want your woman to be criticized for living off her parents, right?"
Gu Heng couldn't bear to see his daughter begging his wife, so he coughed and said, "Your mom hired the Italian designer Joy to design your wedding dress. She hasn't arrived yet, so you have to stay at home for two more days. You can only leave after Joy meets you, confirms the style of the wedding dress, and measures your figure. Then... you just have to come back before the wedding. You have to get married from home."
Ye Huanyan was stunned. She looked at Gu Heng and then at Wen Yi. "Your brother and Xiao Yue's wedding is scheduled for the beginning of the year, so your wedding will definitely be postponed. This is good too. You have more time, so you can take your time to choose your wedding dress."
Wen Yi said this calmly.
Ye Huanyan stared at her in a daze. After a few seconds, she finally came back to her senses and hugged her. "Thank you, mom."
"You can't wait to get married. You haven't been back for more than a few years. Seriously..."
Wen Yi's voice was a little choked up. She turned her head, avoided everyone's gaze, and deliberately covered her red eyes.
Ling Han looked at Gu Heng, who was sitting opposite him. His gaze was very firm, as if he was making a promise.
He couldn't say a thousand words of gratitude, and Ye Huanyan's parents probably didn't like to hear it either. However, he had stayed in the villa for almost a month. From being rejected and ignored to gradually being accepted, his determination had never changed. He would use the rest of his life to cherish the treasure that he had lost and found again. He would not let them down.
