Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School - Chapter 1440

1440 Call Me Brother-in-law

After a long time, Wang Yunmei slowly came back to her senses, but her brain was still shut down.

“Wait… Wait.” Wang Yunmei rubbed her temples and ignored Ji Haoyu for the time being. She only looked at Old Master Ji and said, “Old Master, isn’t this… a little too sudden?”

“It’s not sudden!” The Old Master glared at her and straightened his body. He said to Wang Yunmei seriously, “The two children have been together for over two years. Besides, we know Xiao Ai and Haoyu. They’re not impulsive people. They must have planned it before telling us!”

“Yes, Auntie Mei. Xiao Ai and I decided at the same time,” Ji Haoyu quickly said.

Although it was also very sudden to say the word ‘married,’ Ji Haoyu and Jian Ai knew that the moment they agreed to each other, they were serious.

The Old Master’s words made sense. Wang Yunmei knew her daughter and was very satisfied with Ji Haoyu. The only thing she cared about was that her daughter was still too young.

However, if it was as the Old Master had said, and this was a decision her daughter had made after thinking about it, as her mother, she would not stop her.

But no matter what, she had to call Xiao Ai.

“Old Master, give me ten minutes. I have to ask Xiao Ai about this. It’s too scary. I haven’t recovered yet.” Wang Yunmei stood up. “How can she not tell me about such a big matter even after deciding?”

Ji Haoyu couldn’t help but laugh. Xiao Ai said that she would tell Auntie Mei, but looking at Auntie Mei’s reaction, she had forgotten.

As expected, after the call went through, Jian Ai slapped her forehead in frustration. To be precise, when she saw her mother’s number on the caller ID of her cell phone, coupled with the fact that it was Saturday, she realized she had forgotten about such an important matter.

“Mom, don’t be agitated,” Jian Ai said helplessly.

Wang Yunmei held the phone and said agitatedly, “How can I not be agitated? Why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter? Did you know Old Master took out five hundred million yuan to propose marriage? It scared me to death!”

Five hundred million yuan?

Jian Ai was also dumbfounded. “This… This is too exaggerated, Mom. You can’t accept it!”

“I don’t need you to say it!” Wang Yunmei took a deep breath. When she heard her daughter’s voice, she gradually calmed down. Her tone changed, and she lowered her voice to ask, “So the entire thing is true? Have you really decided to marry Haoyu?”

Jian Ai paused for a moment before chuckling. “Isn’t it the same sooner or later if you decide on someone? He’s the only one in this lifetime!”

Hearing her daughter’s words, Wang Yunmei fell silent for a moment. She felt she had no right to give her daughter suggestions because of her unfortunate relationship experience. However, on second thought, wasn’t it a blessing for her daughter to meet the person she was destined to meet early?

Feeling her mother’s silence, Jian Ai said gently, “Mom, don’t worry about me. I believe in Ji Haoyu. I love him very much too.”

“That’s good. With your words, Mom won’t have to worry,” Wang Yunmei said slowly, and her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

Which word in the world was more powerful than the word ‘love’?

When she returned to the living room, Wang Yunmei had a household register in her hand. “Haoyu, this is Xiao Ai’s household register, but Auntie thinks that if you want to register, you should register in Baiyun City. When the time comes, we’ll accompany you and be witnesses.”

“No problem, Auntie. I’ll listen to you.” Ji Haoyu agreed without thinking.

As long as he could make Auntie Mei agree and make her happy, he would agree to anything.

“Xiao Mei, we’ll be in-laws in the future!” Seeing this, the Old Master slapped his thigh and smiled happily.

Wang Yunmei also smiled and quickly said, “We’re still a generation apart, Old Master, but we’re indeed family in the future.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Yunmei pushed the card on the coffee table back. “But this betrothal gift is too big. We can’t accept it. Let’s just follow the customs and go through the motions.”

“How can we do that?!” The Old Master disagreed. “This shows how much our Ji family values Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai will be the young mistress of our Ji Group in the future, so she will naturally enter the family gloriously. Five hundred million yuan is not a lot!”

“Old Master, don’t scare me. Isn’t five hundred million yuan a lot?” Wang Yunmei was caught between laughter and tears. “We know you care about Xiao Ai. I’ve lived for so long, but I’ve never seen a five hundred million yuan betrothal gift even on television. Quickly take it back.”

“Xiao Mei, don’t argue with me about this. This is Xiao Ai’s and Haoyu’s wedding. It’s also our Ji family’s face. You have to accept this money.” The Old Master had obviously made up his mind.

Wang Yunmei was speechless and could only look at Ji Haoyu for help. However, Ji Haoyu smiled and said, “Auntie Mei, accept it. My grandfather is very persistent about this matter. You can’t change it.”

Instead of being in a deadlock, Wang Yunmei could only give up and nod. “Alright, Old Master. I’ll accept this betrothal gift. When the two children register later, we’ll go together and take a photo.”

As for the money, Wang Yunmei planned to let her daughter handle it when she returned.

The next day, Ji Haoyu flew to the capital again.

This time, Jian Ai went to the airport to pick someone up, but the person she picked up was not Ji Haoyu.

“Yichen!”

From afar, Jian Ai saw Jian Yichen walking out of the exit and quickly waved her hand.

Ji Haoyu stood at the side with a dark expression. He had been off the plane for an hour, but he was waiting for others with his wife.

“I said that you don’t have to pick me up.”

Jian Yichen said expressionlessly.

Jian Ai smiled and patted his head. Their auras did not change, although they already knew their relationship.

“It’s fine. I have nothing on today anyway,” Jian Ai said with a smile.

Jian Yichen pursed his lips. Only then did he notice Ji Haoyu standing at the side. Then, he frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Jian Ai quickly said, “This is my boyfriend, Ji Haoyu.”

“Call me Brother-in-law!” Ji Haoyu looked at Jian Yichen and teased.

He knew Jian Ai’s relationship with Jian Changsheng, so he also knew that the brat in front of him was Jian Ai’s brother.

However, he had always thought that Xiao Ai and the Jian family were at daggers drawn. He did not expect her to be so close to Jian Changsheng’s son.

Jian Yichen looked at Ji Haoyu for a moment before saying softly, “Hello, Brother.”

Ji Haoyu widened his eyes when he heard this, but Jian Ai smiled. “There’s nothing wrong with that. We’re not married.”

“That’s something that’s going to happen soon,” Ji Haoyu blurted out. Then, he looked at Jian Yichen and said, “Treasure this term ‘Brother.’ It’s going to be ‘Brother-in-law’ soon!”

Jian Yichen blinked in confusion. After a while, he reacted and looked at Jian Ai in shock. “You’re getting married?”

It was rare for Jian Yichen to have such an obvious reaction. Jian Ai smiled. “Soon.”
