On the day of the graduation ceremony, the president of the second marriage was married
Chapter 98 The two families finally meet, Xiao’s father asks for a bride price
The splendid large suite is larger than an ordinary family's home.
The large round table that could seat 30 people was deliberately replaced with a round table that could only seat 12 people.
At this time, the 12 people sitting around the table were staring at each other after saying hello in a short and not enthusiastic introduction.
There were also two or three people with dark faces, as if they were being led to the battlefield.
Xiao Mengyi was already very nervous in front of Li Shuangshuang, but now she was still sitting next to the person Lin Ziheng was talking about, that is, her own father Xiao Zewei.
Xiao Mengyi was always paying attention to Xiao Zewei, fearing that he would speak arrogantly or do something impolite.
So far so good, just sitting quietly as per yesterday's agreement. Although the eyes kept scurrying around like mice.
Yesterday, Xiao Mengyi went back to find him and bargain with him. Xiao Mengyi promised to give him a sum of money to behave normally today.
But this money is not given in one go. Part of it was given to him yesterday, and the other part will be given to him after the two families meet today.
If Aunt Lin hadn't asked everyone from both families to be present, Xiao Mengyi would not have let Xiao Zewei come.
In addition to keeping an eye on her father, Xiao Mengyi also has to observe the emotions of her mother and younger siblings. Fortunately, they are not as timid as before.
Maybe it's because he has a lot of contact with Lin Anjie, so he's not so restrained.
Xiao Mengyi could still tell that her mother and younger siblings were nervous, and she could only give them an encouraging smile.
There was nothing I could do about it. Sitting across from Xiao's mother and younger siblings were Li Shuangshuang, Lin Anqi and Huang Liren's family.
Li Shuangshuang and Lin Anqi felt bad ever since they saw Xiao Mengyi's family at the gate.
It can even be said that their eyes have never fallen on anyone in Xiao Mengyi's family.
"Mother Xiao, how are you doing lately, are you okay?" Lin Ziyuan broke the silence and asked kindly about Mother Xiao's physical condition.
Xiao's mother had heard Xiao Mengyi talk about Lin Anjie's aunt. When she met her today, she was really a very kind person.
Lin Ziyuan is three or four years older than Xiao's mother.
But without saying it, no one can tell that she is elegant, intellectual and beautiful.
On the contrary, Xiao's mother has suffered from years of illness, which makes her look older than her peers.
"Thank you, Aunt Lin. I'm fine now. I just need to rest." Mother Xiao had a very good impression of Lin Ziyuan.
"According to common sense, our two families should meet before the children get married, but the elders in the family pay attention to the right time, place, and people, so they hastily let them get married first." Lin Ziyuan explained to Xiao's mother.
"Thank you for being considerate of the elders' behavior. Anjie's grandma is abroad today and can't make it back."
"So today, Anjie's parents, me and our two families will come to meet formally and have a meal."
Lin Ziyuan saw that her sister-in-law Li Shuangshuang had a bad face, and her brother looked like he would not speak easily.
She had no choice but to take charge of the situation, but this was what she expected.
Mother Xiao smiled and nodded, "Grandma Lin is an elder, and she will definitely follow the elders' arrangements."
"What's so important about the right time, right place, and right people? To put it bluntly, it's just rude!" Father Xiao's hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
Xiao Mengyi's heart was startled. She shouldn't trust Xiao Zewei so easily and turned to look at him. "Freeze said."
Xiao's mother also reached out and tugged on Xiao's father's clothes.
"Who are you saying is rude?" Father Lin frowned, and finally said his first words tonight fiercely.
Father Xiao, a troubled person in the family, was also frightened by Father Lin's gloomy tone.
But he didn't forget the purpose of today. He shook off Xiao Mengyi who was holding him and stood up. "Who else is there besides your Lin family?"
Xiao's mother stood up and tried to push Xiao's father back down, but Xiao's father also threw her away.
When Father Lin heard Father Xiao talk about the Lin family, he also stood up. "What kind of etiquette does your family want? Your family sells..."
"Stop talking." Lin Ziyuan immediately realized that Lin Ziheng was going to say something unpleasant and quickly stood up to interrupt.
"Shut up." Sitting next to Xiao Mengyi, Lin Anjie, who had always been expressionless, also spoke to stop what Lin's father almost blurted out.
Xiao Mengyi looked pale and looked at her mother uneasily, hoping that her mother did not understand what Father Lin meant.
Fortunately, Xiao's mother and Xiao's father kept arguing, and there was no change in their faces. They probably didn't notice what Lin Ziheng said.
Li Shuangshuang and Lin Anqi looked at each other, with a hint of ridicule in their eyes, as if they were just here to watch a show.
"Come on, baby, let's eat." Lin Anqi picked up the chopsticks and picked up the food for her son. You could tell by her voice that she was in a happy mood.
"I asked you to come, why don't you come? Look, today's food is delicious and there's a lot of fun to watch. How great!"
"I'm going to eat your food if you make a noise!" Lin Ziyuan scolded Lin Anqi. Lin Anqi not only didn't look like a sister at all, but also made trouble.
Huang Liren, who had been watching the show, saw that Aunt Lin was going to bring the fire to their side.
"Dad, please sit down first and don't be angry." He immediately smiled and walked to Father Lin as he spoke and asked Father Lin to sit down first.
He stood behind Father Lin and smiled at the Xiao family opposite. "Today is a good day for the two families to meet and have a good talk."
Huang Liren had always kept a low profile in front of the elders of the Lin family. He was good at speaking in official circles and was very good at appeasing people.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Huang Liren's skills are most suitable for this situation.
Father Lin also sat down quietly under his persuasion.
"Huang Liren, your son needs to go to the toilet, take him there." Lin Anqi shouted angrily at Huang Liren.
Huang Liren sat back in his seat with a smile. His son was just immersed in eating.
Lin Ziyuan smiled again and looked at Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, "Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, we all know the etiquette of marriage, and the elders in the family have always known it."
"I always felt that it was done too hastily, and I really feel sorry for Mengyi."
"So I have always wanted to find time to meet and have a chat."
Xiao Zewei hummed, "If you have anything to talk about, just bring me the gift."
"Xiao Zewei." Xiao Mengyi couldn't care so much now, and she shouted to stop him.
She should have thought that Xiao Zewei would never give up the idea of asking for a bride price.
"A whole family of poor devils have fallen in love with money." Li Shuangshuang muttered to himself casually.
Lin Ziyuan frowned and glanced hard at Li Shuangshuang.
Lin Ziyuan took out a red envelope from her bag and said, "Dad Xiao, this is a little gift from our family. Please accept it."
She handed the red envelope to Lin Anjie and asked Lin Anjie to send it to Father Xiao.
"No, no, aunt." Xiao Mengyi immediately refused.
Before Lin Anjie could reach him, Xiao Zewei had already stood up, took two steps forward, and grabbed the red envelope from Lin Anjie's hand.
"What do you mean?" Father Xiao raised the hand holding the red envelope and looked at Lin Ziyuan dissatisfied. "That's it?"
"That's enough!" Lin Anjie looked at him coldly.
Xiao Zewei angrily tried to tear the envelope with his hands, and found a card inside the envelope, so he pulled it out.
"How many of these are there?"
