Chapter 831: Take it to fill the fireplace
The old man's preparation made Jiang Yuanliang somewhat surprised.
He had actually prepared a meeting red envelope in his pocket in advance. Does this mean the old man has actually accepted Jingjing in his heart?
Shen Jingjing didn't decline, hurriedly stood up, and took it with both hands: "Thank you, Old Man."
The red envelope felt light in her hand, as if it were empty.
The old man said gloomily: "I am a person who doesn't like to beat around the bush. I'm old, and I have fewer concerns. I know my son very well. Some things I say to him, he may not necessarily say to you, so today, I will speak directly."
"You speak, I'm listening." Shen Jingjing sat gracefully, her expression respectful.
Jiang Yuanliang, however, became nervous: "Dad..."
It was Shen Jingjing who took the initiative to press him: "Don't talk, let the old man speak."
Jiang Yuanliang looked hesitant and nodded silently. He probably knew what his father was going to say.
The old man looked at the two and smiled, then continued: "Since Yuanliang has set his sights on you, I don't oppose it, but I only care about one question, and that is the matter of you having children in the future."
"As a father, it is understandable for me to consider Yuanliang. If you really love him, you should also consider him. He should have a child of his own."
"As for other things, I can ignore them. Life is yours, as long as you can live well."
Speaking of this, the old man picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before saying: "I also know that at your age, giving birth is harmful to the body and has risks, but don't worry, as long as you are willing to give Yuanliang a child, the Jiang family will definitely give you the best medical care and care, and will not let you be in danger."
Shen Jingjing listened without any excessive reactions or expressions.
Seeing that the old man seemed to have finished speaking, she nodded gently.
"I understand what you mean," Shen Jingjing said with a smile: "Before marriage, I will go for a checkup with Yuanliang. As long as there is no problem with our bodies, children will come sooner or later."
Judging by her tone, it was clear she had long been prepared to give Jiang Yuanliang a child.
Jiang Yuanliang looked at Shen Jingjing in shock, because she had never said these things to him. He had originally planned to use his infertility to stall the old man later, but Shen Jingjing took the initiative to propose going for a pre-marital checkup.
The old man, however, was happy, feeling that Shen Jingjing was a woman who knew the big picture: "It's great that you can think this way. Don't worry, just one child, regardless of gender."
With the old man happy, the atmosphere instantly relaxed.
At this time, Shen Jingjing took out a folder from her bag and placed it gently on the table.
"Jingjing, what is this?" Jiang Yuanliang couldn't help but ask, clearly knowing nothing about the things in front of him.
Shen Jingjing paused, her expression visibly serious. She looked at Jiang Yuanliang and said: "This is a prenuptial agreement."
Jiang Yuanliang's handsome brows twisted.
The old man also raised his head slightly.
Shen Jingjing looked at the old man and explained: "Old Man, this is a prenuptial agreement I entrusted my daughter's lawyer friend to draft for me. Yuanliang doesn't know about it; it's my own decision."
"I know how huge the Jiang family and the Jiangdong Group are, and I also know the huge gap in social status between Yuanliang and me, plus the complexity of my own family relationships. This prenuptial agreement is very necessary."
"Its existence can not only dispel some of the Jiang family's concerns—although you didn't say it, I know there will be some—but it can also prevent some troubles that might happen in the future."
"I have the ability to support myself, and my children are also very outstanding. We don't need to rely on the Jiang family, and we won't have any thoughts about the wealth of the Jiangdong Group."
"My union with Yuanliang has only one reason, and that is that we love each other. I just want Yuanliang to be my husband, and I to be his wife. That's enough."
Shen Jingjing finished these words clearly, expressing herself neither humbly nor arrogantly.
But Jiang Yuanliang didn't agree to sign any so-called prenuptial agreement.
He grabbed Shen Jingjing's hand, his brows furrowed: "We don't need this between us. Husband and wife are one body; mine is yours."
Shen Jingjing shook her head: "Yuanliang, I don't want yours, I just want you."
"Jingjing..."
"This is a decision I made after serious consideration, and A-Ci also supports it very much," Shen Jingjing held Jiang Yuanliang's hand back, opening him up: "Actually, this thing is just a piece of paper. Its meaning is to prevent problems before they happen. When it's used, it can solve trouble; if it's not used, it's just a piece of waste paper. I don't care, and you don't need to care either."
As the two were talking, the old man suddenly leaned forward and reached out to pick up the document on the table.
He squinted his old eyes to look at the words on it, and after a while, he hummed and laughed: "We didn't go in for this kind of thing in our time, right, Jingjing?"
He looked at Shen Jingjing, and Shen Jingjing hurriedly nodded: "Yes."
"You child is more sensible than I imagined, and you are careful and do things decently and thoroughly. Most importantly, I can see your heart for Yuanliang."
"But..." the old man elongated his tone and sighed deeply: "You look at our Jiang family too narrowly."
"Marrying a wife, marrying you, you are the daughter-in-law of my Jiang family, and you are a member of the Jiang family. The Jiang family has a share of you, and Yuanliang's has half of yours."
"In the future, when you have children, the Jiang family won't feel bad about giving you anything, and we never thought about guarding against you, so this prenuptial agreement..."
The old man looked left and right, didn't see a suitable object, and simply handed it to Feng Shu: "Old Feng, take it and fill my fireplace."
Feng Shu took it and turned to go upstairs.
Shen Jingjing watched Feng Shu go upstairs. Although the things she had prepared were taken to be burned, she didn't feel angry in her heart, but rather felt warmed.
Jiang Yuanliang finally smiled: "Look, the old man won't let you sign any agreement."
Shen Jingjing felt somewhat ashamed: "Maybe I thought too much, I'm really sorry."
After all, she was going to combine with Jiang Yuanliang and face the high gate of the Jiang family. It was understandable to consider more in her heart.
It was just unexpected that the old man would refuse the prenuptial agreement she advocated. This was the most surprising thing to Shen Jingjing and the source of her deep shame at this moment.
As the old man said, she looked at the Jiang family too narrowly; this was her problem.
"Don't think about other things. You two must hurry up and set the wedding date. You're not young anymore, don't drag it out. You can get the certificate before Yuanliang is forty. There are only a few months left," the old man said. ===== CHAPTER 832 =====
