The two of them had their own thoughts, but their current goal was the same: to make Chen Ming allow them to hold an official engagement ceremony, rather than sneaking around like thieves.

The Chen family was a wealthy family, so the way they ate was naturally very extravagant.

Although there were only five people eating, there were at least 30 to 40 dishes on the table.

When it was time to eat, the Clan Elder Chen Ming would first use the chopsticks, and then the others would be able to eat.

"Wang Ya, you've become skinnier recently. Eat more."

Chen Ming's wife Xu Jinrong said concernedly on the side, continuing to serve food to Wang Ya.

"Thank you, Auntie, I can do it myself. Eat your food. "

Wang Ya said politely.

However, she was a stubborn woman in her heart. At least, from her appearance, Wang Ya was a delicate lady from a noble family. Anyone who saw her would not be able to help but feel tender towards her.

"Wang Ya is right, she has hands and feet, stop cooking for her."

Chen Ming's tone was harsh, as if he was treating his enemy.

Since Wang Ya entered the Chen family, the disaster of the Chen family had happened one after another.

Although he couldn't be sure that Wang Ya was the one who did these things, and it didn't seem like something that a weak girl like her could do, there was at least one thing he could be sure of.

Wang Ya did not get along with the Chen family, so much so that she could be the Chen family's jinx.

Chen Ming didn't want Chen Wu and Wang Ya to be together now.

As for the marriage alliance with the Wang Family, it could be exchanged for Wang Yun and Wang Manli. In short, it was much stronger than Wang Ya.

However, this matter could not be resolved overnight, as it would affect the Chen Family's reputation. Furthermore, Chen Wu seemed to like Wang Ya very much, so Chen Ming decided to make this decision slowly.

The five of them continued to eat in silence. Wang Ya unconsciously touched Chen Wu with his arm, signaling him to be more formal.

Chen Wu immediately understood. He put down the tableware and said softly: "Uncle, Aunt, I have a request."

"This child, we're all family, why is his tone so polite?"

"Xu Jinrong said with a smile.

Chen Wen's death did not cause Xu Jinrong much grief, but it saved him a lot of trouble. After all, Chen Wen belonged to Lu Yuan, and it had nothing to do with the Chen family.

In the future, the Chen family would still depend on Chen Wu, the younger generation, so Xu Jinrong unconsciously treated Chen Wu as her own son.

"Speak!"

Chen Ming replied very straightforwardly.

"I wish to hold a grand engagement ceremony with Wang Ya. I hope the two of you can …"

Chen Wu said carefully.

He knew that Chen Ming's temper wasn't very good, so he didn't want to disturb him.

Bang!

Hearing that, Chen Ming was surprised, he immediately slammed the bowl on the table.

"What did you say?"

Chen Ming asked again.

"I want to hold a public engagement ceremony with Wang Ya."

When Chen Wu saw Chen Ming's attitude, he originally did not want to say anymore, but under the urging of Wang Ya's eyes, he had no choice but to muster up his courage and say that.

"This is a good thing."

Without waiting for Chen Ming to react, Xu Jinrong expressed her stance first.

Chen Wu's father, Chen Dao, looked like an outsider and did not speak.

Although Chen Wu was his son, and even more so, his son, Chen Ming.

"What do you know? A woman. "

Chen Ming frowned and said unhappily.

Chen Ming had yet to make his position known to everyone from his attitude, that he had rejected them.

But Xu Jinrong did not care, after all, her father was one of the important figures in the Shanghai, and her position was not worse than the Chen family, it was even higher.

Xu Jinrong laughed and said: "If you want to talk about the matters of the company outside or the martial arts world, I am indeed inferior to you. Engagement was a very important matter. How could something like this be hastily done? If word of this gets out, what will others say about our Chen family? "

Chen Ming frowned, and said with a bitter face: "I know what you mean, but our Chen family is already very powerful in Shanghai. If they are too high-profile, wouldn't they make others jealous? "

Chen Ming didn't want to publicly acknowledge Wang Ya, his daughter-in-law, but he used her high profile as an excuse.

Wang Ya's heart immediately trembled, she could not help but suspect whether Chen Ming had discovered something.

Xu Jinrong continued, "Others are jealous of our Chen Family for more than a day or two. Even if we kept our tails between our legs, those people wouldn't change their minds. "Rather than that, we might as well make a clean breast of it. Let the betrothal ceremony between Wan-Er and Wang Ya be grand, and let them be jealous to death."

Xu Jinrong said indifferently.

Right now, she only wanted to curry favor with Chen Wu, so that when she grows old, there will be a reliable junior who will be filial to her.

Chen Ming did not speak. He really could not think of any reasonable reason to refute his words.

Chen Wu was extremely happy, and took the chance to say: "Aunt is right. The engagement of those ordinary families can be high-profile, so why can't our Chen family? Could it be that our Chen family can't even be compared to those ordinary families? "

Wang Ya also chimed in, "Engagement is a major event in life. If it were to end hastily, there would be a great regret in your life. I hope that uncle can fulfill it."

Wang Ya spoke sincerely.

Their words seemed to force Chen Ming a little, but Chen Ming's face was very ugly, like a pig's liver.

However, it was not good to flare up, so he could only remain silent for now.

Chen Dao who had always been an old Taoist saw the awkward atmosphere, and laughed: "Why are you two kids talking like that? Which of our parents doesn't want their children to be well? No one disagrees with the idea of an official engagement ceremony. "

"Right, right, right. Your uncle will definitely agree."

Xu Jinrong said as she looked at Chen Ming with a profound look.

Chen Ming saw clearly, four out of the five had agreed, he had no way to go against everyone's wishes, he sighed, and said: "That's fine, our Chen Family has not had any good news for a long time. However, there are still many calamities appearing one after another. Hopefully, this happy occasion will bring some good luck to our Chen Clan. "

Wang Ya's heart thumped. She was now even more convinced that this Chen Ming did not like her.

His words were obviously accusing her. At this moment, Wang Ya seemed to have thoughts of retreating.

"Thank you uncle for your help."

Chen Wu was ecstatic, and said excitedly.

"Don't be happy too early, we haven't consulted the Wang Family yet. This matter cannot be decided with just the words of our Chen family. Wait until Wang Xiangguo and I discuss this before we make a decision. "

Chen Ming said faintly.

He wanted to delay this as much as possible, to seek a chance to change the course of events.

Hearing this, Wang Ya sneered in her heart.

She was thinking, since when did your Chen Family respect the opinion of our Wang Family, and wish that you could stomp all of us under your feet.
