The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 799, Is It Just About Greeting a Sister-in-law (2)

Chapter 799: 799, Is It Just About Greeting a Sister-in-law (2)

Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow, revealing an understanding smile, "Did you guys get your marriage certificate?"

On the other end of the phone, Chu Chen crossed his legs leisurely, his face full of smiles, "Of course."

"I’ll give a big gift at the wedding, can your girl do the same for our family?" Ye Jiuliang teased.

"Haha." Gu Xinuo collapsed onto the sofa, laughing, typical of Ajiu with her unique train of thought.

The corners of Chu Chen’s mouth twitched slightly, "Keep dreaming."

Ye Jiuliang said dispiritedly, "Then forget it, no wedding gift from me."

Chu Chen was speechless, "Ye Jiuliang, you are so stingy."

Gu Xinuo sat up, reaching for the phone, "Ajiu, start a video call and add Asheng to the group."

Ye Jiuliang’s eyes flickered, "Okay, give me a second."

The call ended, and Veya cast a curious glance.

"Who got the certificate?"

"Xinuo and Chu Chen," she replied.

Veya showed a look of surprise and delight, "They got their certificate so quickly?"

"Yeah, just got it."

Veya’s face was full of envy, wondering when her own Asheng would have such good news.

"Grandma, enjoy your tea, I’m going back upstairs," said Ye Jiuliang, standing up to go upstairs.

Back in her bedroom, she opened her phone and added Jiang Yisheng to their group.

The video call flashed on, and the faces of Chu Chen and Gu Xinuo popped up first, and after a short while, Ji Mingqian finally appeared.

Behind him was a huge make-up vanity, like he was in a make-up room or somewhere similar.

"Aqian, isn’t that Asheng’s phone? How come it’s with you?" Ye Jiuliang leaned back on the sofa, eyes glinting with teasing mirth.

"He’s got a brand endorsement shoot to discuss with the crew, so I’m waiting for him in the make-up room," Ji Mingqian said, legs casually crossed and one hand supporting his head, looking every bit the boss.

"Wow, Even Boss Qian has to wait for someone. Being a boyfriend sure is different," Gu Xinuo quipped.

A burst of laughter came through the phone.

"Hahaha."

Ji Mingqian rolled his eyes, "You guys are too much, looking for a fight, huh?"

"Aqian, Jennifer just came over to visit, bringing a ton of gifts," Ye Jiuliang said with a half-smile.

Ji Mingqian frowned, sounding displeased, "What’s she bringing gifts for?"

"To show concern for Asheng’s injury," she responded.

Ji Mingqian snorted with contempt, as if he needed her concern.

"Aqian, remember to bring the wedding gift money," Chu Chen chimed in, asking for his red envelope.

Ji Mingqian was momentarily lost, "What wedding gift money?"

Gu Xinuo brandished two marriage certificates, shaking them, "You better get moving."

"Damn."

Ji Mingqian nearly tumbled off the couch.

"Do you guys have to be in such a rush, each one of you so desperate for wedding gift money?"

His tone was dripping with envy.

"If you’re jealous, you and Asheng should hurry up too," Gu Xinuo said, not feeling the pain of standing.

Ji Mingqian’s face fell; of course, he wanted to, but the key was that Asheng and the Jiang Family parents had to be willing.

It was giving him a headache.

"Why don’t you guys give me some advice on what to prepare for meeting the parents?"

"You should ask Ajiu about that, she probably knows better," Chu Chen suggested.

Amongst them, Ajiu was the only one married with parents on both sides, so she had the most experience.

"My aunt and uncle just mentioned in the living room that they hope Asheng will find a wife soon so they can have grandchildren to hold," Ye Jiuliang shared truthfully.

Have a baby?

Ji Mingqian wanted to bang his head against the wall; he was not capable of such a feat.

"Aqian, you should think of other ways to win over your future in-laws’ favor," Gu Xinuo said helplessly.

Ji Mingqian said gloomily, "I wish I could, if I were to drag Jiang Yisheng to announce our relationship now, I bet Jiang Yisheng’s father would chase me out with a broom."

"So what’s your plan?" Ye Jiuliang straightened his face, rarely showing seriousness.

"Asheng will be back soon, and he’ll be staying at home. You can’t avoid seeing him, can you?"

If they often met, his uncles would not be fools; they would surely detect something.

Ji Mingqian asked in a muffled voice, "Wouldn’t it work if he doesn’t stay at home?"

"What are you thinking, if he doesn’t stay at his home after coming back from M country, where else could he stay? If Asheng suddenly moves out, don’t you think the uncles would get suspicious?" Ye Jiuliang cruelly vetoed the idea.

"Then how about I pretend to visit you and stay with Jiang Yisheng for a while?" Ji Mingqian racked his brains.

Chu Chen took over his words, saying, "Aqian, it’s not a solution to keep hiding this forever."

"How about asking Li Mochan for some tips on how to win over a father-in-law’s heart?" Gu Xinuo suggested.

Without saying anymore, Li Mochan and Ye Yuan got along quite well; the two of them were always harmonious whenever they met.

"I’m not asking that annoying Li Mochan; that guy is so sharp-tongued it could kill, asking him might make me so mad I vomit blood." Ji Mingqian shook his head, his face full of resistance.

Ye Jiuliang narrowed his clear eyes and said coolly, "Who is the annoying ghost, Ji Mingqian, do you want to repeat that?"

"I..." Ji Mingqian shrank his neck, immediately losing his nerve.

"Aqian, when you think about it, you’ll have to call Li Mochan ’cousin’ in the future. You should hurry up and get close to your cousin," Chu Chen laughed unkindly, teasing him.

Ji Mingqian felt wronged; he really owed Li Mochan from a past life.

"Then wouldn’t you have to call Jiuliang ’sister-in-law’?" Gu Xinuo astounded with her words.

Another hit.

Ji Mingqian, "..."

"Hahaha."

Ye Jiuliang and the others laughed at his misfortune. Suddenly, Ji Mingqian hung up the video call.

"Anuo, you scared Aqian away," Ye Jiuliang’s laughter grew even more unrestrained.

"He’s too sensitive; it’s just a matter of calling someone ’sister-in-law,’" Gu Xinuo shrugged, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

On his part, after Ji Mingqian hung up the video, he hadn’t been brooding for long when Jiang Yisheng returned.

Seeing his troubled and pained expression, Jiang Yisheng handed him the iced coffee from his hand, "Bored waiting here?"

Ji Mingqian took it, biting on the straw, "I was just on a video call with Achen and the others."

"Did something happen?"

"No."

"Then why do you look so down?"

Ji Mingqian looked up at him, his eyes filled with grievance, "Achen and the others just got their marriage certificates."

Jiang Yisheng was stunned, it was so sudden?

"Are they going to have a wedding ceremony?"

"No, they were just showing off and, by the way, asking me for a wedding gift contribution."

Hearing this, Jiang Yisheng laughed softly, "Then make sure you give a generous amount."

"They all have their marriage certificates," Ji Mingqian grasped his wrist, pointing out the crux of the matter, "I’m the only one left."

The words were so blunt that Jiang Yisheng could no longer pretend to be confused.

He looked down into his eyes and emphasized, "We just got together yesterday."

"I know."

He knew, so why ask? Jiang Yisheng was puzzled.

"I’m not trying to pressure you," Ji Mingqian put down the coffee, stood up, and faced him.

"I just want to tell you that I’ve always been serious about you. After you finish shooting the endorsement, I’ll take you to meet my master, okay?"
