Chapter 585 Compromise
When Nuan Nuan told Wen Lan about the pregnancy, Wen Lan was making tea on the balcony of the living room on the first floor.
The bone china cup that Wen Lan just held in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
The hot tea splashed on the back of Wen Lan's hand, which was clearly painful, but she was immersed in the news of Nuan Nuan's pregnancy and did not react at all.
"Mom, I'm pregnant, just five weeks old." Nuan Nuan thought Wen Lan didn't hear clearly, so she repeated it again.
Wen Lan finally came to his senses, grabbed a pile of paper towels, picked up the porcelain fragments on the ground, and threw them into the trash can.
"Jiang Guan and his father want to hold the wedding as soon as possible. After all, if you wait four or five months, they won't be able to hide it anymore." Nuannuan said the purpose of this trip to Beijing.
"You are only twenty-three years old and still a child." Wen Lan couldn't accept it, "Are you really ready to be a mother?"
Wen Lan had never been optimistic about Jiang Guan. Even if Jiang Guan and Nuan Nuan were engaged, she subconsciously believed that the two would not end up together.
After getting along for a long time, the shortcomings caused by the fourteen-year age difference became obvious.
Wen Lan has his own selfish motives. Although he cannot control his daughter, he is always looking forward to Nuannuan and Jiang Guan breaking up.
But as long as Nuan Nuan gives birth to a child for Jiang Guan, no matter where their relationship goes in the future, there will really be no end in sight.
At that time, the child will only become a stumbling block for Nuan Nuan to start another love life.
"Weren't you twenty-three when you gave birth to me?" Nuan Nuan retorted, "I heard from my godmother that at that time you were forced by your grandmother to divorce my dad, but you loved my dad and still gave birth to me. Come down."
"..."
Wen Lan was speechless.
I also came from being young and frivolous.
"Mom, I know what you are worried about. I have only graduated from college for a year, and my peers are now working hard for their careers, but I chose to get married and have children. Because I can't just think about myself. Jiang Guan is not young anymore and is an only child. , Uncle Jiang has long been looking forward to having more children in the family," Nuannuan tried to explain.
"Relationships and marriages are managed by oneself. No matter what the outcome is, it cannot be used as a reason to abandon children, because children are gifts from God."
Wen Lan fell down on the nearby sofa and said dejectedly, "It's up to you to decide whether your child will stay or go."
"Uncle Jiang is preparing to come to Beijing these two days to discuss the wedding with you." Nuannuan said.
Wen Lan was a little annoyed but was embarrassed to show it, "Marriage is a big event, let Jiang Jingci tell your father, I am a woman with short sight, so I won't participate."
Nuan Nuan knew that Wen Lan didn't have any good impressions of the Jiang family, and as long as he didn't explicitly object, he would win.
The next morning, Jiang Jingci came to Beijing.
Nuan Nuan's unexpected pregnancy made Wen Lan feel distressed. When Jiang Jingci walked into Xie Yansheng's office, she hid in the lounge next door.
After some negotiation between Jiang Jingci and Xie Yansheng, Nuan Nuan and Jiang Guan's wedding was scheduled for the beginning of next month.
Xie Yansheng made it clear again: the wedding can be held, but she and Wen Lan will not attend the wedding, and will not give Nuan Nuan any dowry.
Jiang Jingci had already been mentally prepared, readily agreed, and began to fight for his son's "rights."
"I only have one child in this life. The engagement can be simple, but the marriage cannot be done. It can be as lively and grand as possible. In fact, whether you and Wen Lan recognize Jiang Guan or not, Jiang Guan is your uncle of the Xie family in the eyes of outsiders. You guys. If you don't attend your daughter's wedding, it's not just me and Jiang Guan who will be laughed at. You and Wen Lan will also be laughed at. "
Xie Yansheng frowned, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"If you and Wen Lan don't attend the wedding, don't stop the children. At the engagement ceremony, Nuan Nuan didn't have any close relatives, and her only playmate since childhood was Xie Xiaotong. You know how uncomfortable Nuan Nuan felt at that time. "Jiang Jingci sneered, "You don't know, and neither does Wen Lan, because you only care about your own emotions selfishly."
These words struck a chord in Xie Yansheng's heart.
On the day of Nuan Nuan's engagement, he and Wen Lan were restless and had no intention of doing anything. Although it embarrassed the Jiang family, it was also an irreparable debt to Nuannuan.
Jiang Jingci stood up and left without saying hello. When Wen Lan came in, Xie Yansheng was still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, deep in thought.
Wen Lan saw that he was in a low mood, so he didn't bother him and sat down at the computer desk to get busy.
After more than ten minutes, Xie Yansheng slowly spoke, "Get ready and return to Jiangcheng next month to attend Nuannuan's wedding."
Wen Lan thought he heard wrongly, "Why did you suddenly change your mind? Did Jiang Jingci just say something to you again?"
Xie Yansheng turned around and sat down, pressing his right temple with one hand, "How can a daughter get married without holding her father's hand? Besides, I still have a lot to say to the boy named Jiang."
"You can go alone. I will get angry when I see someone named Jiang and won't go." Wen Lan was firm, "Beiheng and Nanchen are not allowed to go either."
Xie Yansheng expressed his stance again: "Let's go together."
"What kind of ecstasy soup did Jiang Jingci pour into you?" Wen Lan's face darkened.
"I'm here for our daughter and have nothing to do with Jiang Jingci." Xie Yansheng leaned back on the boss's chair, "Jiang Jingci is going to make the wedding a grand affair. Who in Jiangcheng doesn't know that Nuan Nuan is the wife of me and Your daughter? If we really don’t show up, it will be the most embarrassing thing not only for us and the Jiang family, but also for Nuan Nuan.”
Wen Lan couldn't give a reason to refute and fell into silence.
Nuannuan's marriage to Jiang Guan has long been a certainty. Xie Yansheng said that she had already thought of it, and her refusal to attend the wedding was just out of spite.
With Xie Yansheng's compromise, Wen Lan's stubbornness didn't last for a few days.
For the sake of face, the two did not tell the public that they would attend Nuannuan's wedding, but they had secretly started to prepare a dowry for Nuannuan.
Xie Yansheng's daughter's wedding can be described in one word - rich!
The property and the dowry money are ready-made, and they can be transferred and opened with Nuannuan's ID card.
Wen Lan has been Mrs. Xie for many years and has achieved financial freedom long ago, but due to her living habits, she does not have a strong obsession with high-end luxury goods like his wealthy wife, so when she prepared a dowry for Nuannuan, she found that there was no jewelry to show off.
Xie Yansheng directly gave her a card and asked her to buy whatever she wanted.
Zhou Qiao is the most accomplished in high-end luxury goods. Wen Lan made an appointment with Zhou Qiao to Beijing with just one phone call.
In less than a week, Wen Lan, under Zhou Qiao's guidance, bought more than 30 pieces of high-end jewelry and more than a dozen limited edition bags for Nuannuan, and spent all the money on Xie Yansheng's card.
Before Zhou Qiao returned to Jiangcheng, Wen Lan repeatedly told him not to tell anyone about their attendance at Nuannuan's wedding.
Xie Yansheng was also busy during this period. He went abroad several times and bought two top-of-the-line Rolls-Royces, one black and one white, with full payment. He said that they would be one for Nuannuan and one for Jiang Guan.
When Wen Lan heard that Xie Yansheng was going to give a car to Jiang Guan, she knew that Xie Yansheng had completely compromised.
