Chapter 253 - 253 Just Marry Ji Yanli

Aunt Zhu came down from the second floor and stood beside Luo Qintian. Watching her twisting right eye, he got the signal.

"So... I thought about it carefully.

"

Luo Lixi paused when his intense voice enveloped her all compassion.

"He's just okay, acceptable. Even though you deserve a better man, I will give him to you.

"

If Sheng Ruming was present, the man would have exploded, saying, `I am not your thing so how can you give me to her?!`

Luo Lixi didn't show any extra emotion as she continued to stare at the old man whose hands were gripping the wooden-majestic crane tightly,

"So if you want him, just give me a date and I will arrange everything for your marriage.

"

"Re… really?! Oh, thank you!

" Luo Lixi directly moved to hug the old man. She ignored the first part of his speech though.

After she separated, the man however snorted angrily,

"No need to act. I already know you have signed your marriage papers.

"

"Ah, no. I've yet to…

" Luo Lixi stopped in her tracks. 'I can't let him know that I've yet to sign my marriage certificate…'

Thinking that, her happy bubbles died.

Watching her smiling, the old man forced out a smile and in the end, the atmosphere turned a little better.

After that day, Luo Lixi waited for Sheng Ruming to come. They would chat, video call but for her, it wasn't enough.

Soon, the people got busy with their own company and sometimes Luo Lixi felt life was too salty without this man...

*** ***

After fifteen days…

When Luo Lixi was in her office, Sheng Ruming called her at an untimely moment.

She furrowed her brows and asked directly,

"What's up? Calling at this time, it's very unlike you.

"

Sheng Ruming was in his office too. After he came back, Sheng Haotin gave him back the CEO's position.

Then both Sheng Ruming and Luo Lixi got less time to talk and as days passed by, the time they could talk began to reduce day by day.

"Nothing. Just needed to hear you.

" From the other end of the phone, his low voice carried a lot of sentiment for her.

"Then… I will keep the Bluetooth earpiece turned on the whole time. You can just hear me whenever I talk.

"

A smile bloomed on his face but anybody who would watch him would notice the man was unhappy.

'I hope I can go to your home with pride and honour…. With my parents. So that no one could point a finger towards you saying you are rejected by my own people.'

His hand clenched into a fist as her sweet voice drifted beside his ear. Making his stance solid in his decision.

While on the other hand, Madam Wang furrowed her brows as she was eavesdropping. Her eyes narrowed as she turned towards Luo Tiankong.

"I have told you. Something is wrong. There is a man beside her we don't know.

" The man whispered as he continued,

"The lackey we have used to put poison in her car is also missing.

"

Madam Wang leaned against the chair and pondered,

"Have you checked his profile?

"

Luo Tiankong's face was distorted as he shook his head,

"We failed to take his picture. When they tried to search his information, they said someone tried to track us down…

"

Madam Wang felt very angry when she heard and began to think deeply.

"I will meet her one day and try to know.

" Her fingers tapped on the hard table as she told him,

"Continue to search for that man. If you can't find him then… take action.

"

"... alright.

"

*** ***

When Sheng Ruming had first returned home, the first thing he did was to go find his mother. If possible, he wanted to bring them to her home the next moment.

But unexpectedly, his father was also there.

"Look, Xiao Ming is here too.

" Wei Airan got up and went to bring him to the sofa.

After Sheng Ruming had sat down, only Wei Airan continued to talk while the two Sheng males were eyeing each other.

At some point, Sheng Haotin sighed and put down his eyeglasses.

"Forget her. Just marry Ji Yanli. I have talked things through with her father. Just go to the marriage registration office and collect your marriage certificate.

"

Hearing him, both Wei Airan and Sheng Ruming paused. The most incredible reaction was displayed by her.

"Haotin! It's a significant matter related to my son's future happiness. How can you so casually say something?!

"

Wei Airan flared up. Nobody could associate her with the gentle Madam Sheng people knew.

Sheng Haotin wasn't in a hurry either. He slowly looked up and told her directly,

"You were the one who called me that night and said Yanli is willing. The next day, I talked things through with old Ji.

"

Sheng Ruming stiffly turned his head and glanced at his mother sharply.

Wei Airan shook her hand and recklessly explained,

"Son, it was before I knew about girl Luo!

"

Sheng Ruming withdrew his eyes and after a few seconds, he stood up and told them about his decision.

"I swear I will only marry her. If you think you can get me to marry another woman, you can only dream on.

"

Wei Airan was thinking earlier to pick an auspicious day to go to Luo Mansion. Now because of Sheng Haotin's words, her planning became null and she was very angry about it.

The old man slowly stood up and lifted his head to calmly gaze towards his son.

"It's okay if you don't want to marry. Your mother is dying to see her grandchild. Just ask Feng Shaoling to come and give him some of your stuff. We can afford to find several surrogate mothers.

"

After announcing, he turned to glimpse at the frozen Wei Airan,

"Is three enough or you want more?

"

Both Wei Airan and Sheng Ruming were petrified because of Sheng Haotin's face.

"Father, are you serious?!

"

"Yes, I am.

"

"Father, you…

" Sheng Ruming felt as if he had lost his voice before the absurd reasoning of this old man.

Sheng Ruming just shot him a single glance full of disinterest which Wei Airan despised the most.

Aunt Lin saw this stifling atmosphere and her anxious eyes fell on the man whose hands were trembling a lot.

"Ah Hao, one day… you will surely lose your son. Who would say such a thing to their own child?! Surrogate?! If there is no valid mother, who would want them?!

"

Wei Airan's voice trembled as she glared at the old man.
