190: Chen family's financial support
Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi's family of four happily finished lunch, tidied up a bit, and then sat together in the Living Room, chatting while drinking tea.
"Zifeng, when do you plan to marry my younger sister?" Chen Yuqing asked with a smile.
"If possible, I would like to get our marriage certificate with Yuxi as soon as possible. As for when to hold the wedding banquet, I will listen to Yuxi." Lin Zifeng expressed his thoughts.
"Zifeng, both your status and mine are rather sensitive. It's not appropriate for your wedding with Yuxi to be a grand affair; it's better to keep it low-key. It would be best to choose a destination wedding; otherwise, one careless move could potentially affect your official career, and that would be a loss that outweighs the gain!" Chen Yuanhua said thoughtfully, already starting to consider things for Lin Zifeng, having already accepted him as his Son-in-law.
"Your uncle is right, Zifeng. You are so young, yet you have already become a county magistrate. As the saying goes, 'The tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind.' It is best to be careful and keep a low profile in everything." Li Jing, being within the system, understood many of its intricacies, so she chimed in.
"Uncle, Aunt, thank you for your understanding. But if that's the case, wouldn't Yuxi be wronged?"
"Zifeng, I am content just to be with you; how could I feel wronged? Let's just listen to my parents!" Chen Yuxi said with great satisfaction.
"I think we should do this! The wedding will be held in the provincial capital, and I will prepare everything needed for it. When the time comes, don't make the news public; just invite the immediate family and close friends from both sides to witness your happiest moment! There won't be too many people, and the process can be simple, but all the procedures must be followed. Let's set the wedding date for May Day!" Chen Yuqing said with a smile.
"How can that be? How can we let you spend money on our wedding?" Lin Zifeng immediately refused, but before he could finish, Chen Yuqing waved her hand to interrupt him.
"Zifeng, you are not an ordinary person. We will soon be one family, so it wouldn't be right for you to be overly modest. Yuxi is my only sister, so just listen to me! Consider it a wedding gift from me to you and Yuxi; let me express my goodwill!" Chen Yuqing said with a sincere expression.
"Zifeng, let's listen to my sister! This should be the best choice. If you refuse again, my sister will think you are treating her like a stranger." Chen Yuxi also persuaded him.
Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Chen Yuanhua also nodding in agreement, Lin Zifeng finally let go of his pride and said: "Then thank you, Yuqing. Otherwise, with the amount of my savings, it would really be difficult to give Yuxi a perfect wedding; I would have to rely on my parents." Saying this, he felt a bit embarrassed.
"Zifeng, you have a bright future. Being able to hold onto your principles, accept a simple life, and not make mistakes in economic matters is absolutely a wise choice. You don't need to feel embarrassed because of this." Chen Yuanhua said with satisfaction.
"My father is right. You must continue to maintain this in the future. My company's assets are nearly one billion; what is mine is Yuxi's, and it is also the family's. I can provide you with all the financial support you need. When I go to work, I will have the company's finance department transfer a sum of money to Yuxi. Once you and Yuxi become husband and wife, Yuxi's money will also be considered your money, and you will be able to avoid making mistakes in this regard." Chen Yuqing said with a smile.
"Zifeng, don't have any psychological burden; just listen to Yuqing! No matter how much money there is, it is only an external possession. It is earned to be spent. Since we will be one family in the future, being able to relieve you of any worries about finances and helping you avoid making mistakes in this area is what truly counts as putting things to good use." Li Jing also persuaded him.
"Uncle, Aunt, Yuqing, actually, I don't have high material needs, and my salary is completely sufficient. I appreciate your kindness." Lin Zifeng was still too embarrassed to accept and refused indirectly.
Everyone understood Lin Zifeng's thoughts, so they exchanged glances and didn't try to persuade him further.
"There are still several months until May Day! Everything can be prepared slowly. Let's not talk about this today. Since this is Zifeng's first visit, I will treat everyone to dinner tonight, so we won't eat at home. I'll book a hotel now." As Chen Yuqing spoke, she took out her phone and made a call.
After Chen Yuqing finished the call, Li Jing said: "Yuxi, take Zifeng to your Bedroom to rest for a while! Your sister is treating us to dinner tonight, so don't bother running back and forth. Let's just leave from home tonight!"
Chen Yuxi agreed, took Lin Zifeng's hand, and said with a smile: "Zifeng, let's listen to my parents! Mom, Dad, sister, I'm taking Zifeng to see my room."
Seeing the three of them nod, Lin Zifeng nodded in acknowledgment before walking towards the Bedroom with Chen Yuxi.
"Mom, Dad, shall we go back to our rooms and rest for a while too?" Watching the backs of Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi as they walked to the Bedroom, a complicated feeling welled up in Chen Yuqing's heart as she stood up and said.
The couple agreed, and the three of them walked towards their respective Bedrooms.
Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi arrived at the Bedroom together. Seeing this room full of feminine colors, he looked around with great interest.
Seeing Chen Yuxi close the door, he smiled and said: "I have finally been accepted into the family. I am very happy to have your family's blessing."
Chen Yuxi stepped forward and threw herself into his arms, whispering softly in his ear: "Zifeng, we have waited too long for this day. It is your excellence that has made my family so smoothly and sincerely bless us being together. From now on, we can be together openly and honestly; I am just so happy and blissful."
Feeling Chen Yuxi's body trembling slightly with excitement, Lin Zifeng gently patted her back.
"Yuxi, your family is very good; of course, you are the best. Let's lie down and rest for a while! Don't just stand there."
Chen Yuxi agreed, and hand in hand, they lay down on the bed. Chen Yuxi lay in the crook of his arm, dreaming about the future with him.
The two chatted in low voices, discussing some details of the wedding, both filled with anticipation for their life after marriage.
In the evening, Lin Zifeng and the four members of the Chen family drove two cars to the hotel that Chen Yuqing had booked in advance.
Chen Yuanhua was in a great mood and happily suggested having a few drinks with Lin Zifeng. Lin Zifeng certainly would not refuse; this was a good opportunity to get closer to him.
Even Li Jing broke the rules and poured herself a glass. Chen Yuxi and Chen Yuqing had to drive, so they did not drink.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen Yuanhua were very satisfied with Lin Zifeng as their future Son-in-law, so happy laughter rang out from time to time at the dinner table.
Chen Yuanhua also took this opportunity to pass on a lot of work experience to Lin Zifeng, as well as some things to be aware of, which made Lin Zifeng benefit a great deal.
