Chapter 785: Delaying Tactic

"Eighty?" The old master glared: "He dares!"

"Dad, Yuanliang isn't a child anymore. Can he not even make his own decisions regarding his marriage? He knows very well what he is doing!" Jiang Yuanmao continued to provide support.

The old master looked at Jiang Yuanliang and said: "I'm telling you, Second Son, don't think that just because I handed the group over to you, you can stop listening to me."

"Dad, I know you might not be able to accept this for a while, and I understand you." Jiang Yuanliang softened his tone, intending to bring out his trump card: "You might not listen to my words, but you surely have to listen to Old Master Yu's words, right?"

At the mention of Old Master Yu, the old master's expression clearly faltered.

"What do you mean by that?"

"A few days ago, taking advantage of Old Master Yu's birthday, I brought Jingjing to him to have a fortune told. The old gentleman said that Jingjing and I are a match made in heaven."

After saying this, Jiang Yuanliang took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to the old master: "Take a look, don't say I'm bluffing you. If you don't believe it, make a call and ask the old gentleman if this happened."

The old master picked up the paper and began to read with a furrowed brow. Jiang Yuanliang continued: "Back then, it was Old Master Yu who told you to go to Xishan to start with the coal mine business, and the date for the group's listing was also calculated by Old Master Yu. After I took over the group, the group's expansion into large-scale physical assets and real estate was also calculated by Old Master Yu."

"For so many years, our family has been smooth sailing. You surely trust Old Master Yu's words, right?"

Bringing out Master Yu was something Jiang Yuanliang had planned long ago.

That night, Master Yu matched the two's birth dates and calculated that their union would be extremely auspicious.

The old master revered Master Yu; hearing Jiang Yuanliang's words, he immediately became hesitant.

"Dad, even Master Yu thinks the two are a good match, what else do you have to object to?" Wen Shuyi said softly.

But for the old master, was this matter really that easy to accept?

Even with Master Yu's intervention, he could not calmly accept all of this right away.

"What about the children? What will happen to the children?" The old master looked at Jiang Yuanliang and asked: "You marry her, at her age, can she still give you a son or daughter?"

Children were the thing the old master cared about most.

Jiang Yuanliang was about to speak, but Wen Shuyi gave him a look.

His idea that they didn't need Jingjing to have children shouldn't be brought up in front of the old master right now.

Wen Shuyi chose a delaying tactic, looking at the old master and saying: "Dad, you don't need to worry about this. Although Jingjing is a few years older than Yuanliang, she is still capable of reproduction. Although advanced maternal age is indeed not as easy as for young people, medical means are so advanced now. As long as there are no problems with their bodies, they can still have children if they actively prepare for pregnancy."

This reassurance had to be given to the old master now, otherwise, if the old master was left with unsatisfactory answers today, the matter would likely reach a stalemate.

Hearing Wen Shuyi say this, the old master breathed heavily with a serious face, clearly still angry inside.

"Dad, Master Yu has already calculated it, Yuanliang likes her himself, and they can have children in the future. That's enough." Jiang Yuanmao also spoke again. Anyway, Yuanliang should talk less at this time; he and his wife had to put in the effort: "Although Shen Jingjing has three children, all three children are adults, so it won't have any impact."

"Enough, all of you shut up, eat!"

The old master shouted angrily, and the dining table immediately went quiet. The three looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that they couldn't persuade him anymore; too much is as bad as too little.

Everything that needed to be said had been said; the rest was to give the old master time to digest it himself.

The old master ate two bites and went upstairs. He didn't say he agreed, but he didn't say he opposed it either. It was evident that Jiang Yuanliang's idea of using Master Yu was brilliant. After all, for someone of the old master's age, the only words in this world he would listen to were Master Yu's. ===== CHAPTER 786 =====
