Chapter 322 - WHOSE WEDDING COMES FIRST
[A/N: There won't be any bonus chapter in the next week if the goal isn't reached. The choice is YOURS 💪🏼👍]
Han Changhong was puzzled by the sudden turn of conversation. However, he replied, "Marriage of Luo'er? There was a good proposal when she was fifteen but she rejected it. That's why I thought it would be better to leave this matter to her."
"Oh, really?" Han Cheng looked curious. "Who proposed?"
"Elder Tang," Han Changhong answered.
Han Cheng burst into anger. "What?! Has he gone mad? Why would he propose to Xiao Luo? Did he lose his mind and turned into a pedophile? How dare he try to marry our Xiao Luo!"
Han Changhong confusedly stared at his youngest brother. "Cheng, what type of weird ideas go around your head? He didn't want to marry her. He wanted his only grandson Tang Yujin to get married to her."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Phew!" Han Cheng sighed in relief. "You almost scared me!"
"You are the one who scared me with your way of thought," Han Changhong complained.
"Then the one who wanted to marry her was Tang Yujin. Hmm, it was a good decision not to accept his proposal. We already have a good relationship. We don't need a marriage to make this relationship stronger. We have a good relationship with the Mo Family too thanks to Sheng Ming and Xiao Luo," Han Cheng pondered.
"Luo'er always makes wise decisions. She won't choose a wrong person for herself," Han Changhong said.
"But, what if she did? Not to mention people often make mistakes when it comes to love. What if she makes a mistake while blinded by emotions?" Han Cheng explained his worries.
He continued, "The marriages of Sheng Ming, Xiao Luilui, Xiao Wanwan and Xiao Luo are very important. Their marriage is connected to our business and that's why they cannot marry random people. It's ours to decide whom they will marry for the sake of the future of the company."
Han Changhong hesitated before saying, "What you said is correct but is it okay to force them to marry whom we like? As their father and uncle, I want them to be happy first and foremost."
Han Cheng shook his head. "You are too soft-hearted, big brother. They have a luxurious life because of the company's profit. Now it's their turn to repay the company."
He suddenly came up with a plan. He shared it with his eldest brother, "Big brother, why don't we join forces with the Smith Family? The Smith Corporation is the top business corporation in England right now. If we can make Xiao Luo marry in the Smith Family, then our business will become stronger."
"The Smith Family, huh?" Han Changhong said. "It's not a bad idea. I did hear that the Smith Family has two sons. But I don't think I had seen them in any business parties."
Han Cheng described, "President Luther Smith has two sons. the eldest one is June Smith and the youngest one is Larry Smith. June Smith is twenty years old. He is the child of the previous wife. He is responsible and hardworking. He is an ambitious young man.
"As for Larry Smith, he is eighteen years old. He is more into sports. I think I heard that he has a rivalry with Sheng Ming."
In the end, he shared his opinion, "I personally prefer June Smith. If Xiao Luo marries him, as the eldest daughter-in-law, she will be more privileged and we will get more chances to work on the profitable projects with them."
"I agree with you but Xiao Luilui is older than Luo'er. If someone has to get married first, it has to be Xiao Luilui."
Han Cheng tried to say, "But big brother…"
Han Changhong interrupted his youngest brother saying, "As much as I'm Luo'er's uncle, I'm Xiao Luilui's father. I love my children. I have a responsibility as their father. All my hard work is for them to live a happy life. I don't want them to suffer."
"Do you think they will agree if it's Xiao Luilui?"
"Why wouldn't they? Xiao Luilui is beautiful and smart. She is studying product design. She is the top designer in her class. Though she was a brat in childhood, she has turned into a fine young lady after growing up. I am so proud of her."
Han Cheng leaned against the chair and tapped the table. "As long as you think that way I have nothing to say. And there is also your youngest daughter. Did you think about her marriage partner?"
Han Changhong stated, "Give it a rest, Cheng. If it's about marriage, Sheng Ming and Xiao Luilui come first. Xiao Wanwan and Luo'er are still too young to think about marriage. Let them live their lives first. We have enough time to think about their marriage."
He changed the subject and told his brother, "But before their marriage, I have to ask about you. Why aren't you getting married? Don't you think you should get married before the young generation? I hope you will choose a woman from a prestigious family. Make sure their family has a big company."
Han Cheng was speechless. "Big brother, are you taking revenge on me?"
"Why should I?" Han Changhong shrugged. "You are the one who said that we are living a luxurious life thanks to the company's profit. That's why we have to sacrifice for the sake of the company."
"Big brother, you…"
Han Changhong cut in, "All right, enough chit chat. How's father doing? I know he thinks of me as an unfilial son, he loved Luo'er the most. To think he would never contact her after the accident, what was he thinking?"
Han Cheng replied, "Father is old and prejudiced. You know how much he loved the second brother. After the car accident, his heart was broken and he didn't want to stay in China for a second. Give him some time.. Why don't you let Xiao Luo talk to him? I think she will be able to bring him back to China."
