Chapter 1435: Chapter 824: Another Bold Move: Meeting the Parents Today, Getting Married Tomorrow (3 Updates)

Father Lin took a deep breath, fearing his heart couldn’t take it and he’d faint from the anger.

"You two were sneaking around, not planning to tell us? Or does it mean..." He frowned, "Are you just playing with our Youyou?"

"No, I’m very serious. I’ve always wanted to meet you as her boyfriend, but I felt the timing wasn’t right yet."

"So you snuck into our house?" Father Lin raised his voice suddenly. "What do you mean the timing wasn’t right? You’ve already snuck into my daughter’s room and stayed the night, you..."

"..."

Jiang Shiyi’s actions could rival Jiang Chengsi’s; they’re truly brothers. They usually act without much forethought. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have embarrassed Geng Dong at the bar.

If someone else had confronted him, he would have fired back already. But the person opposite him was his prospective father-in-law, and he didn’t dare.

If Jiang Family’s brothers, especially Jiang Chengsi, saw his brother being this timid, they’d probably laugh like crazy.

Father Lin was both angry and upset. Deep down, he knew he couldn’t entirely blame Jiang Shiyi; he understood his daughter’s temperament as well.

If she wasn’t willing, Jiang Shiyi couldn’t have forced her. So when he hid and Lin Luyou didn’t expose him, they were accomplices.

To have a daughter you’ve raised for years suddenly side with an outsider just fueled his paternal frustration.

He directly vented his anger on Jiang Shiyi.

"Your behavior is really..." Father Lin frowned. "If others found out about this, forget Youyou, even I wouldn’t be able to face anyone."

"Do you think it’s appropriate? I really can’t understand what you kids are thinking."

"We never stopped you from dating, so what were you two sneaking around doing in the room last night? Why did you have to sneak?"

Father Lin got angrier the more he thought about it, raising his voice and waking Lin Luyou up.

Her parents got along well but inevitably had arguments. Plus, her father drank too much last night and her mother was muttering while cleaning up, so Lin Luyou instinctively thought her parents were fighting.

She hurriedly got up and found Jiang Shiyi wasn’t in the room.

Underneath the phone on the bedside was a note.

[I left, call me when you wake up.]

She thought Jiang Shiyi had left, sighed in relief, and without hearing clearly what her father said, got out of bed to mediate, but froze at the door.

The atmosphere again turned incredibly awkward.

"Go change your clothes and come back." Father Lin frowned. "There’s a guest here, what’s with the sleepwear?"

Guest!

Those two words stabbed Jiang Shiyi’s heart.

Originally, after hearing Lin Family’s parents talk last night, he thought he had left a great impression on them, but now it seems...

The path ahead is difficult.

Lin Family parents indeed had a good impression of him: typical tall, rich, handsome, without airs, polite and well-mannered. What parents wouldn’t like him? But today’s fiasco in their eyes painted him as a flower thief, an outsider!

Still a reckless nuisance.

Lin Luyou got so startled her sleepiness vanished, hurriedly changed and went out, glanced at her parents, then at Jiang Shiyi, unsure of what to say...

As the sky gradually lit up, the community got lively, with people going to work and school, only the atmosphere at Lin’s was particularly odd.

"Dad." Lin Luyou bit her lip, seeing her father’s stern face, she was also a little scared.

Father Lin looked at his daughter, feeling increasingly pained.

This daughter had been his pride since childhood: smart and sensible, attended a gifted youth class, studied abroad, earned master’s and doctoral degrees at a young age, flawless...

Such an obedient child, yet she had a man hidden at home.

If Lin Luyou had been a mischievous child, her parents might not have been so shocked. Having never done anything outrageous growing up, this sudden turn of events...

Who wouldn’t be stunned?

"Dad, Mom, this whole thing is actually a misunderstanding!" Lin Luyou knew she was the only one who could mediate this situation.

"Misunderstanding?" Father Lin chuckled. "Then let me ask you a few questions, answer truthfully."

"Okay." Lin Luyou nodded obediently.

"Did he stay in your room all night last night?"

She nodded.

Father Lin shrugged, "Then there’s no misunderstanding."

"..."

Jiang Shiyi naturally didn’t want his girl to have a hard time, so he took the initiative to speak, "Uncle, Auntie, it was my poor handling of this matter, but I’m serious about Youyou. We were dating, never intending to hide it from you."

"I know you might think I’m too presumptuous and excessive, but I absolutely had no intention to deceive you..."

"I’m willing to take responsibility for her."

Father Lin took a deep breath, "Responsible? How do you plan to be responsible?"

With such a respectable and well-mannered family, having someone spend the night in their daughter’s room was certainly uncomfortable for her parents.

How does this even make sense?

"I’ll marry her. If you agree, I can go home and get the household registration book immediately."

The Lin family trio: "..."

Lin Luyou was completely stunned.

He... As expected, his moves are still that bold.

And the Lin Family parents were just stunned on the spot.

Yes, asking Jiang Shiyi to take responsibility and marry her is definitely the most direct approach, but the whole situation feels off!

Father Lin was a bit dumbfounded, suddenly unsure of what to say. The young man was willing to take responsibility, which was a good thing, but having his daughter marry immediately—he definitely wasn’t happy about it.

"Uncle and Auntie, rest assured, if you feel this is too rushed or sudden, we can take things slow."

"After all, I want to give Youyou an unforgettable wedding. I can first go back and discuss with my family, then we can arrange a date for an official visit, where both families can discuss the marriage."

"Don’t worry, I will never let her feel wronged."

...

Jiang Shiyi spoke sincerely, but the Lin Family was a bit dumbfounded—this development isn’t quite right.

"Wait a moment," Father Lin interrupted him, "It seems we haven’t reached that point in our discussion."

"So, what would you like me to do?" Jiang Shiyi looked at him. "Rest assured, even though I only work in a laboratory, I have some investments, a car and a house, including other movable and immovable assets. Youyou, following me, won’t be wronged even if she doesn’t work."

"..."

Father Lin, still hazy from his hangover, pinched his eyebrows, glancing at his daughter from the corner of his eye!

Where did you find such a guy!

Why is marriage and a license suddenly being talked about?

He hadn’t even brought this up.

He originally thought those with some money might not care about his daughter, worried she’d be played. But now it seems...

This kid is so impatient!

Looking at his demeanor, he seems eager to take his daughter to get married and licensed right away.

He seems more urgent than anyone else.

He’s genuinely confused now.

Lin Luyou’s current state isn’t much better than her father’s, feeling like she’s dreaming.

How did it turn into talking about marriage?

"Uncle, if you feel it’s okay, then I’ll tell my family now, and we can arrange a suitable time to formally discuss this matter."

The Lin Family parents exchanged glances...

Father Lin regretted it a bit; why did he bring him in!

Wouldn’t it be better to just kick him out?

How did it turn out like this?

...

While the Lin Family was bewildered, Jiang Shiyi’s phone call was already made.

**

Past six in the morning, Jiang Mansion

The old lady was holding a watering can, watering a couple of flowers she was growing. Today, Tang Wan was preparing breakfast, with Jiang Jinsang helping out on the side, Fan Mingyu was holding Xiaowai in the living room, swaying. Jiang Zhenhuan was reading the newspaper—everything was warm and peaceful—

Until the urgent ringing phone shattered everything.

Jiang Zhenhuan was sitting by the phone and answered it casually.

Fan Mingyu glanced at her husband, seeing him reply simply twice, letting go, the newspaper on his lap scattered to the ground, slightly frowning.

What happened?

What could make her husband show such an expression?

She walked over to Jiang Zhenhuan, wanting to hear what the other side said, but only heard a busy signal; the other side had already hung up.

"Zhenhuan? What’s wrong? What happened!"

The other party had hung up, yet he was still holding the receiver.

Jiang Zhenhuan remained silent, his expression grave.

"Why aren’t you speaking, is it about the company or the family?" Fan Mingyu looked at her husband’s unusual expression with increasing concern, "Say something."

"Call Yanting, tell him not to go straight to the company. After dropping the child at kindergarten, come here with his wife immediately."

"Hm?" Fan Mingyu was even more puzzled.

While Jiang Zhenhuan spoke, Jiang Jinsang brought breakfast to the table. "Xiaowu."

Jiang Jinsang turned to look at him.

"Call your secretary, don’t go to the company today."

"What happened?" Jiang Jinsang also seemed clueless.

Jiang Zhenhuan said nothing, instead calling his assistant to cancel all his appointments for the day.

Early in the morning, he called Jiang Yanting and his wife back, indicating something big was happening. The old lady stared in inquiry, yet he said only that they’d wait for everyone.

"Dad, should we call Third Brother?" Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow. Since the eldest and his wife were back, if it’s family matters, Third Brother should be here too.

"No need to call him."

...

Tang Wan glanced at Jiang Jinsang, the two privately speculated whether Jiang Zhaolin had caused some trouble again, hence the father wanted to discuss without Jiang Shiyi involved.

The old lady was still fiddling with her potted plants, having seen many storms and stress, wondering what could be big enough to make such a fuss—it hadn’t captured her concern.
