Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1105: The Target Is Her (6)

Zhao Mengjin remained unfazed, pretending not to notice anything.

Ou Chunhua secretly grit her teeth, wishing she could call her a little vixen.

Ou Shihua was sitting at the restaurant with the New Year’s Eve dinner set up, waving to them: "Come over and eat."

The group walked towards the dining table.

Ou Shihua had his son pull out a chair for Zhao Mengjin, then smiled at her and said, "Make yourself at home, after all, soon we’ll be family."

Zhao Mengjin was taken aback, not knowing what was going on, unaware of any developments.

Ou Shihua thought she was pretending, as the matter was sensitive, especially for girls, and continued: "I heard your family is returning to the country tomorrow."

"Yes." Zhao Mengjin replied, sitting down.

"My wife and I might be busy tomorrow, and going back and forth, we might only return here on the third day of the new year. I intended to meet with your family, your grandparents, your father; I’m really eager to discuss things about you two."

Ou Shihua’s words made Ou Chunhua the most nervous.

Ou Shihua’s gaze seemed to subtly pass over his wife’s face as he said: "Don’t be fooled by her silence; inwardly, she’s glad. She dotes on her son the most, after all, he’s her only child. Her son getting married, establishing a career, having grandchildren; that’s her dream."

Zhao Mengjin wondered if Ou Chunhua was akin to swallowing a bitter pill silently. It seemed the real power in this family was not Ou Chunhua, but Ou Shihua.

"What does uncle want to discuss with my dad?" Zhao Mengjin asked.

Ou Shihua replied, "Of course, it’s about the wedding arrangements for you and Yanan."

The entire table fell silent.

Zhao Mengjin lightly frowned, glancing at the man sitting opposite.

Ou Yanan showed no reaction either, seemingly unprepared to voice any opposition.

Ou Chunhua interjected, "Isn’t this pushing things a tad fast? Young people these days usually like to get engaged first—"

"Is that so?" Ou Shihua, feeling the atmosphere was stiff, latched onto the comment to ease the tension, saying, "Getting engaged first is acceptable. With an engagement before marriage, there’s time for both families to better prepare for the wedding, something to consider."

It seemed Ou Shihua aimed to turn his son’s wedding into a grand spectacle.

Zhao Mengjin hadn’t anticipated the grandeur the Ou Family intended.

The Ou Family didn’t seem as affluent as the Xiao Family, and even Xiao Family hadn’t hosted a spectacular wedding.

"Uncle," Zhao Mengjin spoke.

Ou Shihua waited expectantly for her to continue. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Zhao Mengjin glanced again at the man opposite who showed no intention of speaking up. This man, truly had no plans to stand up for her, behaving like a turtle, frustrating her.

"Whatever needs discussing, have it with my dad. I’m a junior, it’s not my place to decide," Zhao Mengjin said with a smile.

Ou Yanan finally lifted his gaze and looked at her face.

"Yes, yes." Ou Shihua was naturally pleased with her response, realizing the young ones were unable to express their desires, leaving the elders to arrange.

At the Ruan Family’s villa, the New Year’s Eve dinner continued.

One sumptuous dish after another was brought to the table.

Xiao Shuju ate heartily, her manner resembling that of a starving ghost.

The old lady saw and couldn’t help but cough a few times as a reminder.

Xiao Shuju seemed to ignore the elderly lady’s coughing, focusing on her own eating.

Xiao Jianming paid no attention to his daughter’s eating manners.
