222 Sang Qianqian’s Conditions

Xie Shi’an was caught off guard when he heard that she would marry him. He was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic.

Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he could not hide the excitement in his voice. “What conditions?”

As long as she was willing to marry him, he would do his best to satisfy any condition she had.

“As you know, I got married to Shen Hanyu, but because of Ruan Cheng, the wedding was canceled halfway. It was not very pleasant.”

Sang Qianqian said calmly, “If we ever get married again, I want a wedding that’s even grander and more perfect than the last one.”

Xie Shi’an nodded without hesitation. “No problem.”

To him, this wasn’t a difficult matter. Sang Qianqian could have as big of a wedding as she wanted.

“I haven’t finished.”

Sang Qianqian smiled. “Shen Hanyu has always kept a low profile, so our wedding was not made public. But that’s not what I want. Every girl has a bit of vanity, and I’m no exception. It’s rare for us women to get married again. Therefore, I want everyone to know that I’m valued as a bride and that my husband is outstanding enough.”

When the word ‘husband’ came out of Sang Qianqian’s mouth, it was as if a stone had been thrown into Xie Shi’an’s heart, instantly causing a wave.

This made Xie Shi’an feel dizzy from happiness. After a long while, he calmed down. “Okay, I promise. Do you have any other conditions?”

“I do.”

Sang Qianqian raised her head to look at him. “Before the wedding, I need to make a call and ask my friend to take care of my father. I also want to see my brother.”

Her request, in a sense, was not too much. However, it wasn’t an easy task to let her meet Sang Minglang.

Ruan Cheng might not agree to it.

However, when he met Sang Qianqian’s gaze, Xie Shi’an could not bring himself to reject her. “Alright, I’ll try my best to arrange it.”

When Xie Shi’an was about to leave, Sang Qianqian continued, “Shi’an, the sooner the wedding, the better.”

Sang Qianqian stood behind him and said softly, “Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll change my mind.”

Xie Shi’an turned around again subconsciously, but Sang Qianqian had already turned around and entered the room.

The next day, at the Ruan family’s residence.

When he heard Xie Shi’an mention marriage, Ruan Cheng’s eyes were full of meaning. “Is Sang Qianqian really willing to marry you, or does she have other intentions?”

Xie Shi’an’s eyes were filled with mockery. “You’re in control of everything. Even if she has other thoughts, what’s the use?”

Ruan Cheng sized up Xie Shi’an for a moment and smiled. “I’ll take that as a compliment. However, Shi’an, this is not the time to hold a grand wedding.”

“Master Cheng is right.”

Shao Jin, who was standing at the side, added, “It’s a time of trouble now. The Xie family’s matters have also reached a critical juncture. If you want to get married, there’s no need to rush it at this time.”

“It’s rare that she agreed to marry me,” Xie Shi’an said with an extremely indifferent expression. “I don’t want to delay any longer.”

Shao Jin was very unhappy. “Can’t you wait for a while?”

“I don’t want to wait, and I can’t.”

Xie Shi’an looked at Ruan Cheng. “I’m not here to ask for your permission. I just wanted to tell you. Whether you agree or not, I’ll hold this wedding.”

“Xie Shi’an, what’s with your attitude?”

Shao Jin was furious when he heard Xie Shi’an’s words. “Master Cheng has been racking his brains all these years. Who is it all for? Right now, Master Cheng is in the heart of the storm. If you insist on marrying Sang Qianqian now, aren’t you pushing Master Cheng into a fire pit? Are you afraid that the public won’t pay enough attention to the Ruan family?”

Xie Shi stood quietly, but the expression on his face did not change at all. It was obvious that he was determined to hold this wedding.

The silent stalemate caused the air to freeze.

Ruan Cheng knew Xie Shi’an too well, so he still gave in. “We can hold a wedding. However, you have to wait until you return to the Xie family. That way, you can marry Sang Qianqian as the heir of the Xie family, and it will not be less than when Shen Hanyu married her.”

“Shi’an, I don’t have much time left. If you’re not willing to wait, neither am I. Trust me, I won’t let you wait too long.”

Xie Shi’an was silent for a moment. He lowered his eyes and said, “Okay.”

In a short time, the situation in the capital had turned upside down.

First of all, the current heir of the xie family, Xie Jiayou, was seriously injured in a car accident.

The huge Xie family was like a group of dragons without a leader. The Xie family members respectfully welcomed back the Fourth Young Master, Xie Shi’an, who had once been expelled.

As the head of the Xie family, Xie Shi’an officially returned to the Xie family. Overnight, he became a famous upstart in the capital.

When he was by Ruan Cheng’s side, he had never appeared in front of the media. He was almost invisible.

The outside world only vaguely knew that the Ruan family had taken him in, but they knew nothing about his past with Ruan Cheng.

Due to this, the media treated him as an inspirational story. The Young Master who had led a wandering life had returned with glory, washed away the shame of the past, and taken charge of the Xie family. It could be said that he was able to hold his head high.

No one knew how much Ruan Cheng had done for Xie Shi’an. At the same time, the Ruan family was once again caught in the eye of the storm.

Ruan Cheng did not have much time left.

However, this did not mean his illness, but the heavy pressure from the police. His former subordinates kept submitting reports to the police.

The police had already begun re-investigating the Ruan family and all the previous cases related to Ruan Cheng.

Not only that, but the mysterious force that had once caused the Ruan family to be in a sorry state and suffer heavy losses had once again made a move on the Ruan family.

Moreover, they were even more merciless than last time.

The port, which the Ruan family had slightly recovered, was once again in chaos. The entrance and exit control system was attacked.

The banks under the Ruan family’s name also had frequent problems. The customers found it unbearable, and their trust in the private bank managed by the Ruan family dropped to the freezing point.

Customers began to withdraw large amounts of cash and deposit them in other banks. After the media reported it, more and more people followed suit. The Ruan family’s bank was under huge cash flow pressure in a short period of time.

Fortunately, now that Xie Shi’an had returned to the Ruan family, the Xie family’s huge assets could more or less provide some support for the Ruan family. They could barely support the Ruan family and not collapse.

—

Sang Qianqian had waited for almost two months before Xie Shi’an finally came.

Xie Shi’an’s handsome face looked a little tired, but his eyes were full of life.

“Qianqian,”

He looked at Sang Qianqian and said gently, “I’ll take you to see your brother.”

Sang Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat. She could not believe it. “Are you serious?”

Xie Shi’an smiled. “I’m not lying to you.”

After several months, Sang Qianqian finally walked out of this small courtyard.

The street scene outside the window flashed by, and the pedestrians on the street hurried away.

The car quickly arrived at the residence’s gate. Without stopping, it drove straight into the Ruan family’s residence from the side.

Sang Qianqian thought back to that night when the police were searching the Ruan family’s residence. At that time, Shen Hanyu accompanied her, held her hand, and consoled her gently.

It was as if a lifetime had passed. And now, she could no longer see him.

Sang Qianqian closed her eyes, forcing back the tears that were about to burst out.

She followed Xie Shi’an out of the car, passed through the courtyard, and arrived at the secret room in the backyard.

The moment the heavy metal door was pushed open, Sang Qianqian finally saw her long-lost brother, Sang Minglang.
