After being stunned for more than a minute, Jiang Qi finally gathered his thoughts and asked again, "Did grandma order it?"

"Yes." Shi Jinhua nodded solemnly.

Jiang Qi's expression was completely wrong. But she still tried to maintain her composure and politeness and said, "Mom, you guys sit down first, I'll go clean myself up first." Then she went upstairs in a hurry, and for a moment she didn't feel any discomfort where she fell.

Watching Jiang Qi's back disappear, Shi Jinhua couldn't help but burst out laughing. He was in a good mood. There was really nothing he could do to amuse his daughter.

"Sister, does she disagree with this marriage?" The young man at the side opened his mouth with a worried look, and suddenly the room was filled with soft voices.

"She dares!" Shi Jinhua blurted out these two words. But she immediately realized that her tone was not good, so she put on a friendly smile when she looked at the boy and said gently: "Xiao Luochun, where is Jiang Qi? You also met her. Auntie asks you, what do you think?"

"Sister, she's fine." After the young man finished speaking, he lowered his eyes shyly, and his white jade-like cheeks also showed a hint of rosy and pleasant redness.

Shi Jinhua looked at the young man in front of her with a smile on her face, and she was in a good mood, even though she had only been in contact with him for two hours. But the old saying goes that the more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more satisfied she is. This is not false. Looking at his soft eyebrows and charming eyes, although he was only wearing a simple shirt and trousers, he was tall and beautiful, and his temperament was elegant and pure. And the soft hair that fell naturally on his shoulders, his whole body exuded an indescribable ancient charm.

How should I put it? Boys should give people a clean and pure feeling. And being shy like this is more cute.

So Shi Jinhua, who was in a good mood, reached out and took Ming Luochun's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, as long as you don't dislike her."

Lin Yue, who was standing by, was stunned by their conversation. Was this the wrong way to say it? So she tentatively called out, "Auntie?"

"What's wrong, Ayue?" Shi Jinhua looked at his little niece in confusion.

"Nothing." Lin Yue shook her head quickly. Then she said, "Well, I'll go upstairs to see how Jiang Qi is doing." She was stopped just as she was about to leave.

"No need, don't worry about her now. She is a little busy right now and will come down by herself later." After all, she is his daughter and he still understands her.

Shi Jinhua had already spoken, so Lin Yue had no choice but to stay with them, watching the two of them talking and laughing.

When Jiang Qi went upstairs, she did not go to her bedroom. Instead, she went straight to the study, picked up the landline and made an international call.

At this time, in a wine estate outside Paris, France, an abrupt phone ring broke the morning silence in the house.

The maid who was cleaning quickly answered the phone: "Bonjour"

"Is my grandma awake?" He said it very directly, without even introducing himself. Moreover, Jiang Qi did not speak French, but directly spoke Chinese.

"Madam is awake and having breakfast." The maid's accent was a little awkward. She was obviously not used to Chinese, but she still sounded cautious in her tone.

"Ask her to come over and answer the phone." Jiang Qi had no intention of being polite at all.

"Yes, please wait a moment, miss." After saying that, the maid immediately put the phone aside and ran out. The young lady in her family was in a bad mood.

Jiang Qi didn't have to wait long before a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Qiqi?" A kind voice.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Qi took a deep breath and replied, "Hey, I'm here, grandma." The voice was completely devoid of the hostility just now, and was full of obedience.

"Why are you calling grandma so early in the morning? Are you missing her?" He spoke fluent Chinese, but still with a slight accent.

"Grandma, I have something to ask you. What's going on with Ming Luochun?" Jiang Qi considered her tone before asking.

"Have you seen Xiao Luochun? His plane has arrived?" The other person's voice sounded a little excited when he heard the name.

"Yes, he is at my house now. My mother said he is my fiancé, or did you arrange this for me?"

"Yes, I ordered it for you personally. How is it? Are you happy?"

"Grandma, didn't we agree on this? Didn't I decide this matter myself?" Jiang Qi's tone was full of helplessness.

"Have you decided yet?"

"Haven't I found the right one yet? Can't we just not be anxious?"

"How can I not be anxious? I told you to look for it yourself, and it's been almost a year. Not to mention the person, I haven't even seen a hair. Your grandfather even gave you a long vacation. What are you going to do if I don't worry?" The old man was very disappointed with his friend.

"Alas, I'm only 24. It shouldn't be that serious, right? Besides, he just gave me a vacation. I'm still the executive president of He Yuan, and he didn't ask me to resign." Jiang Qi was speechless.

"l1 ose." The old man couldn't control his native language coming out.

Jiang Qi remained silent.

After calming down, the other party continued, "If he dares, you'll see whether I can kill him or not. He's finished."

"Grandma, don't be angry. There's no need to be angry." Jiang Qi comforted the old lady over the phone.

"Yes. I am angry at myself." The old man calmed down and continued, "Qiqi, it's like this. Since your grandfather said that he would let you settle down before giving you a vacation, and you are not a child anymore, I arranged for Xiao Luochun to be with you. I also talked to your grandfather on the phone about you and Xiao Luochun, and he agreed."

"So I'm the only one who doesn't know about this, right? I'm getting married. No one thought of discussing it with me? Asking for my consent?" Jiang Qi was completely upset.

"What do I need your consent for? It's just a marriage as you said. Or have you not let go of that kid named Gu?" His tone became heavier towards the end, and Jiang Qi could hear it as a threat.

"No, it has nothing to do with him, it's... the other party is still a child, three years younger than me, I..." Jiang Qi was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"It's okay. As for little Luo Chun, is the age limit a problem? Isn't it enough to be an adult? He's only three years old, not thirty. Besides, the betrothal gift has already been given, so it's not easy to regret it."

Jiang Qi felt more and more confused the more he listened, so he directly replied with the last sentence: "Return the betrothal gift, and I will pay him back three times as much."

"What else? I'm the one who made the engagement. If I go back on my word, it will ruin her reputation. We can't do such immoral and self-defeating things."

"Ah?" Jiang Qi suddenly felt like there was something wrong with her ears. "What, what the hell. Ruining reputation? What reputation? Whose reputation?" She couldn't even think straight.

"Of course it's Xiao Luochun's. You said you would marry her, but now you don't want to. How will she get along at home in the future..." Jiang Qi interrupted her.

"Wait... wait a minute. Grandma, that person... is a woman?" Jiang Qi thought about the person she had just met and thought that it might really be a girl.

"What are you thinking?!" After hearing Jiang Qi's words, the old man became angry and his voice became louder: "You are the only child in my family and my family business depends on you. How can I find a woman for you?"

"That's not the case. How could I ruin his reputation?" Jiang Qi couldn't understand.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't told you about this yet. It's like this. Xiao Luochun's family is a matriarchal clan. Women are the head of the family, so do you understand?"

After a while, Jiang Qi understood what was said and then tentatively said four words: "Women are superior to men?"

"Correct."

"Oh!...Is that so." Jiang Qi felt as if her worldview had been updated.

"They are an ancient Chinese ethnic group that migrated abroad during the Ming Dynasty. Their god of worship seems to be Nuwa. So the family has always been a matriarchal society." The old man continued to explain to Jiang Qi. Jiang Qi was stunned listening to it.

Then no one spoke. Jiang Qi was digesting the information, and the other party was waiting for Jiang Qi to digest the information.

After a long while, the person on the other end of the phone felt that the time was almost up and continued, "Qiqi, there is something I still need to remind you of. Xiao Luochun, his last name is Ming, and he is from the Ming family in Country Y. His mother is the current head of the family. He is the only child."

"So... the Ming family wants to let their only child, the eldest son, marry into my family?!" Jiang Qi spewed out word by word, full of disbelief.

"Yes. So you have to take good care of him. Otherwise you can imagine the consequences."

"No, wait a minute. What do they want? Grandma, did you take something from them to threaten them?"

"Hey, how can you talk like that? This wasn't my initiative. His mother came to the winery to choose wine that day. We started chatting, and it just so happened that our two families had a good relationship before, and they had said that we could get married if there was a chance. And then since you two were both old enough, it just happened to be a good idea."

Well, her worldview was completely shattered. Could such a thing be so casual?

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I still have to go pick grapes. Let's talk next time. Remember to get along well with Xiao Luochun." Then the phone was hung up.

Jiang Qi put down the phone and walked towards the room in a daze. She lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling with her eyes open. The information she received was a bit overwhelming and she had to process it.

I don't know how much time has passed. Jiang Qi suddenly sat up and came to a conclusion based on the information and memory. Marriage is absolutely not allowed. She will never believe that the other party is because of the so-called agreement, but it seems that she has nothing to gain from him. The financial power of the Ming family is many times greater than that of her family.

Although she didn't know why the Ming family liked her, she must not offend anyone. Now that she was here, she had to take good care of her. Otherwise, it wouldn't take much effort for her to get her.

After thinking it through, Jiang Qi scratched her hair. She stood up and changed her clothes. Then she went to the bathroom to remove her makeup and combed her hair again. Because her right hand couldn't move, it took a long time.

When she returned to the living room and sat down, it was already an hour and a half later. She sat there and looked carefully at the person opposite her who was talking to her mother.

She was very beautiful. Black hair, soft eyes, a cute nose, pink lips, a white neck, and a narrow waist. As for her height, she seemed to be taller than her. Her voice was also soft and gentle with a hint of softness.

He was humble and polite when dealing with people, and he was very tactful in his dealings with others. He was elegant when holding a cup of tea, and his every move was calm. But when faced with her blatant stare, he obviously turned his eyes away and avoided looking at her.

A rich young man. This was the first thing Jiang Qi thought of him. Compared to Gu Jingcheng, who only pretended to be so in front of outsiders, his wealth and nobility came from his bones. She had never seen many people like him, including the so-called royal families of those countries. Only aristocratic families with deep roots could raise such a person. Even Jiang Qi felt inferior to him.

Jiang Qi sighed secretly as she looked at him. This person, whether in appearance or temperament, was in line with her aesthetic taste and preferences. But she didn't dare to touch him. It was such a pity.
