2372 Xin Bei Visited the Cao Family
In fact, all of their family members had shares in Tanghuang. They didn't need to do anything and would still receive a lot of money every year. There was no reason for them to complain. Therefore, they only wanted a harmonious family and were reluctant to hurt their family just because of money.
...
As soon as Qi Tianlin hung up on Gu Ning, he regretted it, but it already happened. He also couldn't call her again, because it would be embarrassing.
Gu Ning also said that she needed to deal with something, so he shouldn't call her again. Besides, she already had a fiancé. It wouldn't change anything even if he continued to pay special attention to her.
He was just being impulsive, so he called Gu Ning and scolded her for not seeing him after she came back to City B.
Now that he calmed down, he felt that he couldn't force Gu Ning to see him.
He knew that very well, but he couldn't control his emotions. After all, Gu Ning was the first girl he had ever sincerely liked.
...
A while later, Gu Ning received Leng Shaoting's call and he told her that they had already arrived at the capital and that he was taking Jiang Liluo and Si Jin to the siheyuan now.
Gu Ning asked Leng Shaoting about Jiang Liluo and Si Jin's condition. After all, it was the first time that they had taken a plane.
Leng Shaoting told Gu Ning that they were fine. They only felt a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but they soon got used to it.
After the call with Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting told Ai Weishun and his other comrades to take Ma Shibiao and his men to their military base, while he brought Jiang Liluo and Si Jin to the siheyuan.
An hour later, they arrived and Shangguan Yang finally met Jiang Liluo and Si Jin.
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin cried tears of joy and they shared old stories. Only after a long while did they feel better.
"Alright, let bygones be bygones. We finally met again. We can live a good life together from now on," said Shangguan Yang. He had a close relationship with Jiang Liluo and Shangguan Yang, so now he cherished their reunion very much.
"Uncle Shangguan, thank you so much for your accommodation. We're so lucky to have found you."
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin were touched.
"Well, your rooms are already prepared. Let me take you there now. You can have a rest if you want. If not, you can walk around in the yard to get familiar with the place. Shaoting's mother will be back in a while. I'll introduce them to you then," said Shangguan Yang.
"Sure," said Jiang Liluo and Si Jin. They were even more touched now, because Shangguan Yang had prepared rooms for them beforehand.
After that, Shangguan Yang took them to see their rooms, while Leng Shaoting left to deal with his own business.
...
At 5 pm, Cao Wenxin and Xin Bei visited the Cao family.
In the morning, Cao Wenxin had told Tang Yunrong that Xin Bei would come to see them, so the Cao family was prepared.
Xin Bei brought gifts for every member of the Cao family.
Tang Yunrong and Cao Ruihua were very satisfied with Xin Bei. The other members of the Cao family also approved of their marriage. In fact, the other members didn't have the right to oppose their choice.
Although Xin Bei's family wasn't comparable to the Cao family, he was a very outstanding man.
Only when he was outstanding in his own right could he win people's respect. If he relied on his family to become successful, it meant nothing.
He relied on himself to become successful, and his success could last for a long time. If he relied on his family, it wouldn't last. Moreover, Xin Bei was a distant relative of the Cao family, so they weren't actually strangers.
However, although they were relatives, Cao Wenxin wasn't related to Xin Bei by blood, so it wasn't a big deal that they were together.
...
In the Cao family's house, all the major members were present.
Because Cao Ruihua was busy, he wasn't home yet, but he would come back later. After all, it was Xin Bei's first formal visit.
Xin Bei was nervous. To be honest, he had never been so nervous even when he faced criminals.
Most importantly, he wanted Cao Wenxin's family to agree to let him marry her today.
No matter how nervous he was, he had to face it, so he could only calm himself down by taking a deep breath.
Xin Bei's only relatives were his uncle and aunt. Therefore, he invited them to come over and directly told them that he would make a formal request for their approval of their marriage. However, Xin Bei didn't tell them that Cao Wenxin was already pregnant.
Although they had been together for only a short time, it had been eight months, so they could get married now.
Anyway, they both thought that the other was the right one, so they would get married sooner or later. They weren't young anymore, and it was time for them to marry, so Xin Bei's uncle and aunt also supported him.
They arrived at the Cao family's house earlier, but they didn't say that Xin Bei wanted to marry Cao Wenxin. They decided to let Xin Bei do it himself.
...
After Xin Bei came, he greeted them one by one, and the Cao family was very happy to see him.
Because Cao Ruihua wasn't home yet, Xin Bei didn't bring it up for the time being. He felt it was more appropriate to talk about it with Cao Wenxin's parents.
When it was nearly 6 pm, Cao Ruihua got home. The majority of the Cao family was present, and only several young members who were working outside were absent.
The moment Cao Ruihua was back, Xin Bei got nervous, because it meant he had to talk about his marriage with Cao Wenxin right away. However, even if he was nervous, he had no idea of giving up!
Right after Cao Ruihua sat down and exchanged greetings with Xin Bei, Xin Bei suddenly stood up and made a deep bow towards everyone.
It surprised everyone, because they didn't know what he was going to do.
"Bei, what are you doing?" Cao Ruihua asked in confusion.
"Well, in fact, I came today for two important things. First, I must apologize, especially to Mr. Cao and Mrs. Cao." Xin Bei said seriously to Cao Ruihua and Tang Yunrong. "Um, I have to be honest that I disappointed you. I got Wenxin pregnant before we got married."
He was very sincere, because it was his fault.
"What?"
Everyone was stunned. Cao Wenxin was pregnant?
At this moment, Cao Wenxin lowered her head. She didn't dare to meet their eyes in case they criticized her. Although, even though she didn't look at them, they might still criticize her. She just felt guilty.
