Mo Ming followed the butler in, who walked up to the grandmother and said, "This gentleman says he’s here to see Xiaoxiao."
The grandmother put down the pastry in her hand, lazily looked up at Mo Ming standing to the side, and pointed to a seat opposite her with her chin, saying, "Sit down."
"Thank you, grandma." As he sat down, he glanced at Xiaoxiao opposite him. It was clear she had dressed up ticulously—compared to her usual natural and youthful look, she now looked more like a sophisticated woman.
Her already delicate features, with a bit of embellishnt, looked stunningly beautiful. Her long hair, which was usually tied in a ponytail, was now elegantly pinned up, making her appear even more graceful.
Following Mo Ming’s straightforward gaze, the grandmother looked at Xiaoxiao sitting beside her and imdiately said, "Go upstairs and call your parents down."
"Oh." Xiaoxiao obediently responded, glanced at Mo Ming with so hesitation, and then walked upstairs, turning back to look at him every few steps.
After Xiaoxiao had walked away, the grandmother asked, "Did you co alone?"
Mo Ming nodded, saying, "My father passed away, and my mother is currently in the hospital. She’ll co to visit once she feels better."
Hearing this, the grandmother furrowed her brows, "Doesn’t that an your family’s financial situation isn’t good? Will Xiaoxiao suffer if she marries you?"
"I’m managing my father’s company now. Although it’s not as big as Shenghan’s, it’s still doing alright. I also have my own business, so at least Xiaoxiao won’t have to suffer."
The grandmother looked him over; he seed to be a reasonable child, but...
"Then let ask you, where were you when Xiaoxiao was pregnant?"
Mo Ming paused, then said, "I’m sorry I couldn’t be by her side during that ti. I’ll love her well from now on."
Having just called her parents and hurried downstairs, Xiaoxiao’s smile deepened at these words. She couldn’t help but grip her ring-clad left hand tighter, feeling the presence of the ring.
"Ca down so soon?" The grandmother turned her head upon hearing the footsteps, asking Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao nodded, "They’re up."
"What about An’an?"
"Still sleeping."
The grandmother let it go, and Xiaoxiao walked to the sofa’s edge, glancing at Mo Ming. She couldn’t help but smirk upon catching sight of the matching n’s ring on his finger.
Regarding her daughter’s marriage, Su Nian didn’t dare delay, so she quickly freshened up and dragged Shen Hanciuxiu downstairs.
An’an and Su Yan also ca down to join the fun, and the whole family gathered in the living room.
Mo Ming looked around at everyone, then pushed a folder onto the coffee table, saying, "These are the property deeds for all the houses under my na. I’m willing to transfer them all to Xiaoxiao. Inside are also bankbooks and cards; the passwords are Xiaoxiao’s birthday. This counts as the dowry."
Xiaoxiao looked at him. She had no idea how much he was worth, but from his words just now, it seed he was giving her everything he owned. She wanted to tell him it wasn’t necessary, but rembering her family was there, maybe this would make them agree to their union quicker. After all, once married, whether it’s the dowry or bride price, it’s all their family’s. For now, she decided to persuade her family first.
The grandmother looked at him, reached out to take the folder, and opened it in front of everyone. After glancing at the property deeds and bankbooks, she seed fairly satisfied. Putting the items back in, she still said sternly, "The Shen family doesn’t lack money, and neither does Xiaoxiao. So are you planning to marry her just with a little dowry?"
