Chapter 247 United Front
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the atmosphere was rather awkward.
Seeing this situation, Li Ning couldn't help but wonder if Shen Muzhi was also so resistant and angry when he was forced to marry.
After a while, Mrs. Shen took the lead and said: "Although this matter has been decided, after all, it happened suddenly. The Shen family is a big family, so Jinheng can't just get married casually, and the preliminary preparations will take a year and a half. But soon Li Ran's belly will grow bigger, and it will be ugly at the wedding."
Liang Lili couldn't help but look at Li Ran's stomach, knowing that Mrs. Shen was right, so she was a little embarrassed.
Old Mrs. Shen didn't say anything later, she just drank tea with her eyelids down, waiting for Liang Lili to make her own decision.
Liang Lili was worried that the Shen family would go back on their word, so she thought for a while and said, "You have thought carefully, and there is no rush to prepare for the wedding slowly. I hope that the two children can get the marriage certificate first, and the family will have a meal together to be considered engaged. After the child is born, the wedding will be ready, and it will be nice to have it in a grand manner."
Li Ning thought to himself an idiot.
Mrs. Shen had figured out Liang Lili's temperament, and she was not in a hurry when she set the trap. On the contrary, Liang Lili was eager to marry a daughter, and she was anxious to get into the trap, but she didn't know that she had picked up a big deal. .
When Old Mrs. Shen heard the words, she sighed helplessly and nodded, "It seems that this is the only way to go." Then she asked Shen Xunling, "What do you think?"
This was originally Shen Xunling's idea, of course he nodded sympathetically, "That's fine too."
"That's great. Since everyone agrees, when should the children go to get the marriage certificate?" Liang Lili asked impatiently.
"Since it's been decided, it can be done at any time." Shen Xunling replied.
"Why don't we just book another banquet tomorrow, and our two families will officially have a meal together, which can be regarded as an engagement banquet." Liang Lili said with a smile.
Shen Xunling asked Old Madam Shen what she meant, and seeing her nodding, he responded, "Yes, that's the decision."
Afterwards, Liang Lili discussed with Shen Xunling about the banquet and certificate collection, and the lifelong affairs of Li Ran and Shen Jinheng were settled in this way.
Li Ning looked at Li Ran curiously, thinking that she would finally get what she wanted, and she would smile very proudly.
But without thinking, Li Ran looked blankly at the position where Shen Jinheng was sitting just now, not only did he not have a proud smile on his face, but there was a period of rest and loneliness.
Li Ning secretly sighed in his heart, born in such a family, their marriage cannot be decided by themselves after all.
After everything was settled, Liang Lili's mother and daughter and Shen Xunling left one after another.
When Li Ning and Shen Muxing were about to leave, the old lady Shen suddenly stopped Li Ning, "Ning Ning, you stay, grandma has something to say to you."
"Then I'll go out first." Shen Muxing glanced at Li Ning, then turned and went out.
But the moment the door closed, Shen Muxing suddenly called out, "Brother?"
Both Li Ning and Mrs. Shen looked at the door, and after a while, Shen Muzhi pushed the door and entered.
"Mu Zhi, why are you here?" Mrs. Shen asked.
"I'll pick Ning Ning up." Shen Muzhi said as he walked to Li Ning's side, and shook her hand very naturally.
Li Ning smiled softly, "You didn't go back to rest early after a busy day, and you made a detour to pick me up."
Old Mrs. Shen was watching, and the young couple couldn't help but nodded in relief as they smiled and spoke softly.
"Since you're here, please sit down." Old Mrs. Shen changed her serious look and said kindly with a smile.
Shen Muzhi didn't let go of Li Ning's hand, the two sat on one side hand in hand.
"Is everything going well?" Shen Muzhi asked Mrs. Shen.
"It's already been decided, let Jinheng marry Li Ran first but not hold a wedding, wait until the child is born." Mrs. Shen said succinctly.
Shen Muxing was very thoughtful, and upon hearing this, he understood what they were planning.But he didn't say much and just nodded.
"Ning Ning, this matter may make you a little uncomfortable, but you have to be considerate, after all, the blood of the Shen family cannot be left outside." The old lady Shen suddenly said to Li Ning with earnestness.
Li Ning smiled, "Grandma asked me to stay because she was worried that I would be unhappy because of this?"
"I know you have a bad relationship with your stepmother and Li Ran..."
Before the old lady Shen finished speaking, Li Ning said with a smile: "Grandma, you are worrying too much. Whether Jinheng marries Li Ran or not, I don't care at all. What's more, although Jinheng and Mu Zhi are both members of the Shen family, they also She won't live under the same roof, so it doesn't matter to me whether she marries into the Shen family. So grandma, you don't have to worry about me, really."
Li Ning's words came from the heart, although it would be a lie to say that he was not worried at all, after all, a child might affect Shen Muzhi's status in the Shen family.
Regardless of whether she and Shen Muzhi are in true love or a contractual marriage, they are all on the same front on the Shen family boat, so she still cares a little about the existence of that child.
Mrs. Shen looked at Li Ning's expression and saw that she didn't seem to be forced to smile, so she nodded in relief, and couldn't help but praise: "You are the most sensible and generous, if that Li Ran can be half as good as you, I will also You don't have to have such a headache anymore."
Li Ning smiled, "I think Li Ran wouldn't dare to mess around with you in the future."
"Hey, let's not talk about her." Old Mrs. Shen waved her hand annoyed.
Immediately, old lady Shen looked at Shen Muzhi again.
Seeing that Old Madam Shen's expression became a little serious, Li Ning got up and said, "Grandma, you talk to Mu Zhi, I'll go to the bathroom."
"Okay, let's go." Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded.
The moment Li Ning exited the study and closed the door, he heard old lady Shen call out in a deep and deep voice, "Mu Zhi..."
"Sister-in-law, why are you showing off, where is my brother? Is the old lady still lecturing?" Shen Muxing asked while sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Li Ning didn't answer, but only asked: "Why haven't you left yet. Aren't you staying at Emgrand at this time?"
"Just say a few words to my brother and leave." Shen Muxing looked at the door of the study.
Li Ning sat on the sofa on the other side, the two were silent for a while, Shen Muxing suddenly asked: "Sister-in-law, when do you and my brother plan to have a baby?"
Li Ning was stunned by the sudden question, and then gave Shen Muxing a helpless look, "You should worry about yourself first."
Shen Muxing didn't seem to be joking, his face was a little serious, and his eyes were also a little dark and said: "If Li Ran's child is born, and it is really Shen Jinheng's, it will be very difficult for my brother to be in the Shen family."
Shen Muxing's voice was flat and emotionless, but it gave Li Ning a chill when he heard it.
Li Ning couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, but felt that when Shen Muxing said these words, some dark and bad things would happen.
