Together

Li Mei and Wen Li had something to talk about. The others could not stay idle either. They had to express their joy about this marriage.

Jiang Hai wanted to greet Zou Chao, but he was shocked by Zou Chao’s change. “Why have you become so rough?”

The two of them could be considered good friends. Before Zou Chao ran around the world, he always asked him out to fish. At that time, he was quite a standard middle-aged handsome uncle.

Now, he didn’t look much different from a savage. It was just that he was dressed neatly.

“It’s inevitable after being exposed to the elements outside,” Zou Chao touched his face and said.

He traveled everywhere in various countries. At first, he just wanted to look at the local scenery. Later, he began to challenge himself with some special projects. Some time ago, he even brought Wen Li to go diving.

The two of them finally understood what a free life was. They could not remember their sons at home at all. If not for such a big matter like betrothal, they would not have thought of coming back at all.

Wen Li and Li Mei smiled and said what had happened along the way. Jiang An quickly called everyone in. “Let’s sit down and talk.”

“We’re here today to propose marriage to the Jiang family according to the official procedures. We hope to get your permission to make An’an our daughter-in-law.” After Wen Li sat down, she finally got down to business.

Li Mei smiled and said, “Then I have something to say first. Although An’an will be married into your family, she’s still the heir of the Jiang family. She won’t be like other wealthy ladies who only live at home and don’t go out.”

“Of course I understand this. Even if An’an wasn’t the heir, we won’t make our daughter-in-law stay at home forever,” Wen Li promised.

She had suffered like this before and was asked by the elders to stay at home to take care of her husband and children. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she could not go out. It was only because her husband insisted that she be in charge of the Zou family’s public welfare that she was not tied to the house all the time. Naturally, she did not want her daughter-in-law to experience this.

Li Mei’s expression became even more relaxed as she continued, “An’an has been taking care of the two children. When the time is right, she will announce their true backgrounds, but it’s very likely that they will inherit the Jiang family in the future. The child chosen will still have the surname Jiang.”

“It’s what should be done.” Wen Li nodded. “This way, the Zou and Jiang families will be connected by blood in the future.”

“I believe Zou Bai will treat An’an well,” she said in satisfaction.

Zou Bai made a promise. “I will love An’an forever and make her happy for the rest of her life.”

The marriage between the two families was officially confirmed today. The official website released a photo of Zou Bai, Jiang An, and the children to let everyone know that they were family.

At night, they naturally gathered to celebrate. The sons of the Jiang family had also rushed back. This was a major event in An’an’s life. They could not miss it.

However, they still didn’t treat Zou Bai well. They felt that An’an should stay at home for a few more years.

Zou Bai knew that he would have to call them ‘brother’ in the future, so he pretended not to see it.

At this moment, a servant came in and said, “There’s a gift outside. Mr. Mo Shen is congratulating Miss on her engagement.”

Jiang An was a little surprised. After all, this was not the official marriage. There was no need for Mo Shen to give her a gift.

Zou Bai held her hand. “Let’s go take a look.”

The two wooden boxes were carried in. The box itself was already stunning enough. It was made of golden silk cedar wood and was engraved with the image of a dragon and a phoenix.

After opening it, even the knowledgeable Li Mei did not know what to say. The box on the left was a huge night pearl, and the right was a perfect piece of jade. It was a combination of pearls and jade.

Li Mei sighed. “Mo Shen’s gift is really too thoughtful.”

Not to mention the value of these two items, just the meaning behind them was enough to move people.

As someone who had been through this before, Li Mei could naturally tell that Mo Shen liked Jiang An. However, Zou Bai didn’t say anything, so she remained silent.

Moreover, An’an had always treated Mo Shen as her brother and had never done anything wrong to Zou Bai. It was not her child’s fault no matter what.

She also tried to hint to Mo Shen to know his limits, but this child’s actions were really heartbreaking. However, he only focused on accompanying An’an and even had a good relationship with Zou Bai. She could only sigh and not care anymore.

She would let the children settle their own matters. If they did not figure out their own feelings, they would not have a good ending if she forcefully interfered.

She thought that Mo Shen had really achieved selfless love. As long as An’an was happy, it didn’t matter even if she wasn’t with him.

Now that she saw this gift, she felt that Mo Shen had the temperament of a saint. Many people couldn’t control their possessiveness when talking about love and hoped that the person they liked would only have eyes for themselves.

However, Mo Shen had never expected to get it. His starting point in doing things had always been An’an’s happiness.
