The Shen family had decided on the idea of changing the bride, but they still needed to discuss it with the Zhao family.

After all, this matter was related to the future of the two families’ children, and it was not something that could simply be changed!

The two families had agreed to have a meal together this weekend to explain this matter clearly.

When Shen You returned to the coffee shop, she ran into Huo Xiao.

“Why are you here?” Shen You looked at Huo Xiao’s somewhat anxious expression and asked.

“Are you getting engaged?” Huo Xiao asked without any reason.

Shen You frowned, thought for a moment, and said, “I’m not sure yet.”

“Not sure?” Huo Xiao’s expression became even stranger.

.

“Yes!” Shen you answered unconsciously. She only felt that her mind was a mess, and she felt very sleepy.

“Is there anything else? I’m very tired, and I want to rest.” As Shen You spoke, she wanted to go past Huo Xiao and return to her room.

Huo Xiao hesitated for a moment and handed an envelope to Shen You. “There’s a reception at my house tomorrow. I hope you can come.”

“Oh,” Shen You replied and took the envelope from Huo Xiao’s hand. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go in first. I’m really tired.”

Huo Xiao nodded, turned sideways, and let Shen You walk in.

Huo Xiao watched as Shen You walked step by step to the corner until she disappeared.

Xie Xiao walked to Huo Xiao’s side. He looked at Huo Xiao’s stunned expression and then at the direction where Shen You disappeared.

“You’re looking for Shen You? Is there anything?” Xie Xiao asked curiously.

Huo Xiao shook his head and said, “Nothing…”

Xie Xiao pursed his lips and said, “Her family came early this morning. They said they want her to go back and get engaged or something.”

“Yeah, I know!” Huo Xiao replied with a gloomy expression.

Xie Xiao frowned and said, “I don’t know what her family is thinking, forcing her to get engaged.”

“She clearly doesn’t want to!” Xie Xiao could not help but complain.

“She doesn’t want to?” Huo Xiao’s expression changed instantly.

“Yeah! I don’t know who she is getting engaged to. But from what she said, she doesn’t like the other party!” Xie Xiao said affirmatively.

For some reason, Huo Xiao suddenly felt that the part of his chest that had been clogged up all this time seemed to be a little comfortable.

He thanked Xie Xiao and left under Xie Xiao’s puzzled gaze.

Xie Xiao blinked his eyes, not knowing what Huo Xiao was up to this time!

The next day, the Shen family and the Zhao family made an appointment at the Shen family’s restaurant.

This restaurant was considered the Shen family’s ancestral property, and had been open for nearly a hundred years. The Shen family had arrived at the restaurant early in the morning to prepare, and they planned to have a good talk with the Zhao family.

Shen You walked into the restaurant in a daze, went to the private room, found a sofa seat by the window, and sat down.

It had been two days, and Shen You felt that her mind was in a mess, and she was very tired.

She did not know if this was the aftereffect of ‘redeeming privileges’, but she felt that she was not very clear-headed.

She leaned against the sofa seat and rubbed her head hard.

Other than the head of the Shen family, Shen Hao, and his wife, Li Ru, the only people who came to “negotiate” today were the parties involved, Shen You and Shen Jiao.

As Shen Po and Shen Jun did not agree to changing the bride, their parents kicked them out of the “negotiation” team.

And Shen Rong was just a child, there was no need for him to get involved.

Shen Jiao sat beside her parents the whole time. She wore a fitted chinese-style long dress and looked gentle and generous.

Compared to Shen Jiao, Shen You, who was dressed in a sports outfit, did not seem to respect this matter.

Shen Hao looked at Shen You’s sitting posture and frowned even more.

He said to Li Ru, “We have to change this bride! Otherwise, we will lose face for the Shen family!”

Although Shen Hao’s voice was not loud, it still reached Shen You’s ears.

Shen You ignored him and continued to squint her eyes, trying to keep herself awake. She had a feeling that Huo Xiao seemed to have said something to her yesterday, but she could not remember it for a while.

The Zhao family arrived as scheduled.

Zhao Nan arrived at the restaurant with his parents. After entering the private room, Zhao Nan’s expression changed slightly when he saw that Shen Jiao and Shen You were both there.

His parents suddenly mentioned that they were going to meet the Shen family today. Zhao Nan originally thought that they were going to discuss the engagement, but now it seemed that there were other matters!

Zhao Nan ignored Shen Jiao’s burning gaze and looked around Shen You. He felt that she did not have much energy and seemed different from usual.

The parents of both parties greeted each other warmly. After drinking a cup of tea, the small talk was over and they officially got down to business.
