"Zhiwen, what does she have to do with it?" Her mother-in-law was stunned for a moment. Leng Zhiwen, in order to rush to film, did not choose to return early, but returned at the last minute.
Her mother-in-law was a little displeased about this, but she didn't expect that this matter could actually be related to Leng Zhiwen.
"I'm not getting married. Let Zhiwen have the bride's position!" Leng Zhiruo said.
"Nonsense! Zhiwen has no feelings for your brother-in-law, and they are very hostile to each other. This is absolutely impossible!" Even someone as shrewd as her mother-in-law felt it was ridiculous.
"No, it's not like that. Mom, you don't know. Actually, brother-in-law and Zhiwen have already had relations. Their relationship now is even better than mine, but brother-in-law promised to marry me first, so Zhiwen completely gave up the idea of marrying brother-in-law!" Leng Zhiruo uttered a shocking statement.
"This... this..." Her mother-in-law was shocked, and then Leng Zhiruo explained slowly. It turned out that after Leng Zhiwen had relations with Huang He, she initially decided to keep it from her sister. But she always felt that she couldn't get over it, and that she was deeply sorry for her sister.
Coincidentally, Leng Zhiruo was not stupid either. Seeing that something was wrong, she tried to probe. As a result, Leng Zhiwen very readily spilled everything and told Leng Zhiruo everything. She then said that if Leng Zhiruo minded, she was willing to completely cut off her relationship with her brother-in-law and watch the two of them from afar.
With Leng Zhiruo's personality, she would never let her sister suffer. Instead, Leng Zhiwen was the one who had to say that if Leng Zhiruo gave up on Huang He, she would commit suicide immediately, which calmed things down.
Later, the two sisters chatted for an entire evening and finally decided to maintain the status quo. Anyway, they were all more comfortable in their respective times, so they pretended not to know about this matter.
This sounded very foolish, and it seemed like a plot from a novel, but it also had its own logic.
Leng Zhiruo agreed because she had always been filled with guilt towards her sister, feeling like a third party and not believing she was qualified to be a domineering housewife.
Coupled with her deep love for her sister and Huang He, and her very traditional personality, she agreed.
As for Leng Zhiwen, she had already come to terms with it. After communicating with Zhiruo this time, her last lingering concern was gone, and she became even happier.
Leng Zhiruo thought that their relationship would remain like this forever, but she didn't expect that this sudden premarital check-up report would disrupt everything.
"This is perhaps my sister's punishment for me in heaven, and it also tells me that I am not worthy of being brother-in-law's bride!" Leng Zhiruo sighed in her heart, and then made up her mind to give this bride's position to Leng Zhiwen.
At the same time, with the reason of this premarital check-up report, she believed that Leng Zhiwen would no longer stubbornly refuse.
"..." After listening to Leng Zhiruo's words, her mother-in-law was also dumbfounded. She never expected that her two daughters had such troublesome matters in private.
"Mom, please agree to me. This is the best solution at the moment. Only when Zhiwen marries brother-in-law will everything be completely stabilized, and there will be no future trouble!" Leng Zhiruo said.
"What about you?" her mother-in-law retorted.
"Me? I'll just continue to be brother-in-law's good helper. We'll talk about future matters later!" Leng Zhiruo clearly hadn't thought too much about the future.
"Alright, if you think this is really okay!" Her mother-in-law sighed, then whispered to herself, "In the end, it still falls to Zhiwen, doesn't it? Is this destiny? If I had known six years ago, I..."
"Mom, what happened six years ago?" Leng Zhiruo asked curiously.
"It's nothing. I mean, if I had known six years ago, I wouldn't have let your eldest sister meet He He, and then there wouldn't be so many troubles today!" Her mother-in-law said with a wry smile.
"That won't do!" Leng Zhiruo shook her head solemnly. "If Sister hadn't met Brother-in-law, I wouldn't have met Brother-in-law either. If that were the case, I might as well die!"
"What's with dying and such? Tomorrow is the big day, and you're saying such unlucky words!" A voice teased. The two looked up and saw Leng Zhiwen had pushed open the door at some point, smiling at her sister and mother.
"Second Sister, congratulations! You're finally getting promoted today!" Leng Zhiwen said with a smile, and then took out a delicate small box. "This is a set of jewelry I customized for you from a century-old shop in Shanghai. It's nearly two hundred thousand!"
Leng Zhiwen excitedly introduced the various wedding gifts she brought to Leng Zhiruo, making Leng Zhiruo and her mother-in-law exchange glances, not knowing what to say.
"You two seem very strange today. Is there something you're hiding from me?" Leng Zhiwen was not stupid. She noticed that no matter what she took out, their faces showed obvious forced smiles. She put the things in her hand on the bed and asked.
"The thing is..." Leng Zhiruo took a deep breath and began.
"You mean, I should replace my sister at tomorrow's wedding? And do such a ridiculous thing just because my sister might not be able to have children?" Leng Zhiwen questioned loudly after listening.
"Keep your voice down. Your brother-in-law might come back at any moment!" Her mother-in-law quickly said. "It's not that we want to do such a ridiculous thing, but please use your brain to think about what the consequences will be if this matter is allowed to continue like this!"
So her mother-in-law repeated what she had analyzed to Leng Zhiruo, and finally said, "Your sister has made up her mind about this matter, but we still respect your opinion. If you are willing, then so be it. If you are not willing, your sister will confess everything to He He, and then we will see what Huang He does!"
"Then I definitely won't agree, I absolutely won't..." Before Leng Zhiwen could finish speaking, she felt her vision blur, and then she was pressed onto the bed. Looking again, she saw Leng Zhiruo looking at her with tears streaming down her face.
"Zhiwen, please, your sister doesn't want her brother-in-law to have no children of his own in the future." Leng Zhiruo said, crying.
"Forget it. Since you've already told Mom everything, then I'll say something shameless. Even if Sister, you can't have children, I, Leng Zhiwen, can. I'll have a child for brother-in-law then and give it to you to raise. Won't that solve everything?"
"You can still have your own children and a perfect marriage. Isn't this the best solution?" Leng Zhiwen said helplessly.
"No, this is unfair to you, and unfair to your child. Do you want to watch your child call me Mom for a lifetime? Also, if the child finds out about this in the future, how will they look at me, at you, at their father, and at this family? Then the entire ethical relationship will be ruined."
"So, only if you marry brother-in-law and have children with brother-in-law, and you are the mother of your child, is this the perfect ending!" Leng Zhiruo said, hugging her sister and crying profusely.
"That's impossible too. When we get married, brother-in-law won't not recognize me. You have to convince brother-in-law first!" Leng Zhiwen said.
"It's okay. Because your brother-in-law has always liked Chinese weddings, the bride will wear a red veil the entire time. Only when you enter the bridal chamber will brother-in-law know. Then you can explain it to him properly!"
"Then the marriage certificate..."
"We agreed to get the marriage certificate after the wedding, so we are not legal spouses yet!"
"..." Leng Zhiwen's eyes widened. After a good few minutes, she closed her eyes helplessly and said, "Okay, I promise you. I promise, alright? But I have to say one thing first: if I marry brother-in-law, then Sister, you are absolutely forbidden to have any contact with brother-in-law, no, with my husband. At most, you can maintain a normal superior-subordinate relationship. Do you agree?"
"I... I... I agree!" Leng Zhiruo said, gritting her teeth in the end.
"I'm really fed up with you two. How could I have two such sisters!" Leng Zhiwen suddenly felt that the world was simply too funny.
————————
"Mom, there's something I need to tell you!" It was past seven in the evening when Huang He came with a table of food. As the family ate together, and the three of them forced smiles, Huang He spoke.
"What is it?" Her mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, then asked.
"Mom, have the wedding planners all withdrawn? I've thought about it, and this time we need to be more low-key. Apart from our family, no one else should be at the wedding scene!" Huang He said.
"Brother-in-law, are you crazy? My sister's wedding was already low-key enough, and now you're withdrawing the wedding planners too. What kind of wedding are you having then? You might as well get married now!" Leng Zhimeng exclaimed in shock.
In fact, although her mother had prepared for this wedding for three months, there were less than three tables of guests in total, only a very small number of relatives and very close friends.
But now, this number was to be reduced further, with only their family, that is, the people eating at the table, being present. It was indeed better to get married right away.
"It's mainly because the company is facing a lot of public pressure!" Huang He sighed. "You're not unaware that our blind box business and e-commerce business have been criticized by many people recently. I just received news that someone intends to target OO and create some big news to smear Jiangnan Group!"
"There's such a thing!" Leng Zhimeng was shocked, and then her face became ferocious. This was her territory.
"That's right, so I think this wedding must be conducted in a very low-key and confidential manner. Apart from our family, no one else should know about my marriage to Zhiruo!"
"After all, many people already know that Zhiruo is my sister-in-law. If they use this to attack me personally, then Jiangnan Group will face the biggest public opinion crisis."
"So this time, apart from us, no outsiders should know. I can only trust all of you!"
"It's just that this will inconvenience Zhiruo. Zhiruo, do you have any objections?" Huang He looked at Zhiruo and asked gently.
"No... no..." Leng Zhiruo immediately said. She didn't care about these things in the first place, and she didn't even mind not having a wedding, as long as she could be with her brother-in-law.
As for now.
Leng Zhiruo felt it was even better that there were no outsiders. This way, if Huang He discovered that the bride had been replaced at the wedding, the matter would only be kept within the family and would not spread outside.
Leng Zhiruo instantly felt a lot more at ease.
"Okay, let's do it this way, after all, it's for the company!" Her mother-in-law quickly said. She also thought of this point and nodded in agreement.
Leng Zhiwen, however, seemed to have not heard these words at all and was just eating with her head down.
