To avoid harassment from my brother-in-law, I got married to a wealthy man

Lu Xi and the others also went to Jiangcheng. Although it was a funeral, they had a very good relationship with Ji Liangchuan after all, so it would be inappropriate not to go to such an occasion.

Of course, Shen Congrong and Wei Yutong also went to Jiangcheng as relatives.

After the funeral, everyone went their separate ways. Lu Xi took Xiaochuan and his parents back to the villa, while Ji Liangchuan stayed alone in the cemetery and did not return.

"Let's go." Shen Pingting walked up to him and looked down at the man kneeling in front of the tombstone. Her perception of him changed slightly again.

I thought he was arrogant and looked down on others, and didn't care about anyone except himself, but it's obviously not the case. He also has a delicate side and will cry when he is sad for his family.

But the sun was almost setting and he had been kneeling for a long time.

"Ji Liangchuan." Shen Pingting frowned and called out.

Ji Liangchuan suddenly hugged Shen Pingting's waist, said nothing, and just put his face on her chest.

Although Shen Pingting only acted with him to let her mother rest in peace, in Ji Liangchuan's heart, the only one he could rely on and wanted to rely on at this moment was her.

Shen Pingting's body stiffened, but she didn't push him away. She just patted Ji Liangchuan's back gently and said, "My condolences."

She doesn't comfort people.

Ji Liangchuan didn't say anything, but just hugged her tighter, as if Shen Pingting would disappear if he let go.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Liangchuan slowly let go of her hand, raised his head and looked at Shen Pingting, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

Shen Pingting met his gaze and for the first time felt that he was more annoying when he was thanking her than when he was arrogant.

"Go back, everyone is waiting for you." She pulled away.

Ji Liangchuan stood up and straightened his clothes.

Perhaps because he had been kneeling for too long, his legs were numb. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Shen Pingting reached out and helped him up.

"Are you OK?"

Ji Liangchuan didn't hide it, "It's okay, my legs are just weak."

Shen Pingting took his cold hand and said, "Let's go."

Ji Liangchuan looked down at the woman's white and tender hands, and once again took the initiative, interlocking his fingers with hers.

In the Ji family mansion, Ji Hongzhuo sat exhausted on the sofa, with Shen Congrong and Wei Yutong sitting beside him. Ji Chengli sat upstairs, remembering his late wife.

"Chengrong, I'm so sorry to have troubled you all to come here."

"Uncle Ji, what are you talking about?" Shen Congrong sighed slightly, and glanced at Ji Chengli upstairs while speaking. He understood the man's mood at the moment very well.

There were many times when Wei Yutong was in a bad state, and Shen Congrong was so distraught.

Ji Hongzhuo sighed, "Since you call me Uncle Ji, I'll be frank with you. Although today's occasion isn't quite right, I still think we should settle the marriages of our two children."

The two children undoubtedly refer to Ji Liangchuan and Shen Pingting. It is indeed unreasonable to mention marriage right after the funeral, but Ji Hongzhuo knows that this is his daughter-in-law's biggest concern, and he also hopes to fulfill her wish.

Shen Congrong and Wei Yutong looked at each other, both of them felt a little embarrassed. They didn't want to interfere in their children's marriage.

Just at this time, Ji Liangchuan and Shen Pingting came back and happened to hear what Ji Hongzhuo said.

Ji Liangchuan couldn't help but frown and said, "Grandpa, I'll make the decision on this matter myself, so don't worry about it."

"How can I not worry about it? Have you read your mother's suicide note? Not being able to see you get married is her biggest regret in her life. It will happen sooner or later anyway, so why not find a suitable date as soon as possible so that we can have a happy occasion."

"Marriage is a pure matter and has nothing to do with getting good fortune." Ji Liangchuan was not in the mood to discuss marriage at the moment. His mother had just passed away and he was still immersed in grief and had not yet come out of that sad mood.

Ji Hongzhuo's eyes widened with anger, and he glared at him fiercely, "What do you know?"

If a person still has attachment to the world after death, he will wander around the world forever. Although it is a superstitious belief, it is better to believe it than not. Besides, it can let my daughter-in-law rest in peace, so what's wrong with it?

Ji Liangchuan was annoyed, "Grandpa, this is my marriage, can't I make the decision myself?"

"I can't control you anymore?!" Ji Hongzhuo roared.

The atmosphere instantly became tense. Both the grandfather and the grandson were stubborn. Once a disagreement arose, neither of them would give in.

Ji Chengli then came down from upstairs, "Dad, let's listen to Liangchuan on this matter. Liangchuan's mother just passed away, and no one is in the mood to discuss happy events."

"I didn't say to hold the wedding right now, but to finalize this matter. This is your wife's last wish. Others may not know it, but don't you know it?"

The older you get, the wiser you become. Ji Hongzhuo guessed that when they were in the hospital, Shen Pingting was just trying to coax her daughter-in-law and didn't take it seriously.

It was precisely because of this that he wanted to take the opportunity to make this happen. Although the means were somewhat dishonorable, his original intention was also for the sake of his grandson and Ogawa.

The villa was already immersed in a dull and depressing atmosphere, and Ji Hongzhuo's anger made the atmosphere even more tense.

Shen Congrong and Wei Yutong didn't know what to say, but it was obviously not appropriate to leave now.

Ji Liangchuan didn't want to deal with this anymore, so he blurted out, "That's enough, Shen and I..."

"it is good."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Pingting spoke coldly.

For a moment, everyone focused their attention on her. Ji Liangchuan was even more surprised, with an expression of disbelief on his face and his mind going blank.

"The wedding doesn't matter, we can get the marriage certificate first." Shen Pingting didn't care about those formalities.

Hearing her words, Wei Yutong immediately stepped forward, held her daughter's arm, and asked in a low voice: "Tingting, are you sure you are serious?"

After all, marriage is a major event in life. The Ji family has always wanted to promote this matter. Shen Pingting has always reacted strongly, which shows that she has no good feelings for Ji Liangchuan. Why did she suddenly mention getting a marriage certificate?

Shen Congrong was equally cautious, "Tingting, are you sure you've thought it through?"

Shen Pingting's eyes were focused, and there was no perfunctory expression on her face. "I'm sure."

Ji Hongzhuo's eyes suddenly reddened. "Okay, okay, Pingting, don't worry. Marry into our Ji family, and we will never let you suffer any grievances. No matter what happens in the future, you'll have grandpa's support."

After a pause, he continued, "You can discuss the time to get the marriage certificate with that brat Liangchuan. As for the wedding, it's all up to you."

"Okay." Shen Pingting nodded slightly.

After returning to her residence, Wei Yutong still felt uneasy. After much deliberation, she finally found Lu Xi and asked, "Is your sister dating Ji Liangchuan?"

Lu Xi was also confused and only said, "How should I put it? It doesn't seem to have come to that, but I think my sister is a little fond of Ji Liangchuan."

Wei Yutong disagreed, "Just liking you a little bit isn't enough. If it's just a relationship, then I don't object, but marriage is such a serious matter, especially at this juncture, your father and I are not too happy about it.

"Your sister said to get the marriage certificate first. If you divorce after getting the certificate, it will be a second marriage, which is not good to say. I want to talk to your sister about this, but..."

Until now, Wei Yutong has not found the best way to get along with Shen Pingting.

The eldest daughter is cold-natured, quiet, and doesn't like others interfering in her affairs, so Wei Yutong doesn't want to offend her.

Lu Xi understood, "Mom, don't worry. My sister isn't a love-brained person, nor is she impulsive. She must have her reasons for doing what she wants to do. We just need to respect her."

Wei Yutong frowned and wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back. "Did your sister tell me when they got the marriage certificate?"
