Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 228 [if] We get married

Two hours later.

Sang Yu arrived at the agreed coffee shop.

In the box on the second floor, a tall white figure was leaning on the sofa by the window, looking down at his mobile phone, his bony fingertips sliding across the screen.

Sang Yu pushed the door open and walked straight to sit opposite him.

Xi Jinbai put away his phone and moved his gaze to her face. "What would you like to drink?"

Sang Yu put down the bag on her shoulder and placed it on her legs. "No, I'll just drink some water." She went straight to the point. "You said this isn't difficult. Do you have a solution?"

"The biggest problem of Ji's company right now is capital turnover." Xi Jinbai hit the nail on the head and said slowly, "Xi's company can inject capital, but it needs a legitimate reason."

Sang Yu asked: "What's the reason?"

Xi Jinbai stared into her eyes and opened his thin lips slightly: "We get married, the two families will be united, and investing in the Ji family will be legitimate, and all problems will be solved."

"What?" Sang Yu thought he had heard wrongly.

Marriage? Marriage? Is he serious?

Xi Jinbai looked at her quietly, without any intention of joking.

Sang Yu grabbed the bag chain in his hand, "But... why did you do this?"

Given the Ji family's current situation, there would be no benefit for the Xi family to agree to the marriage at this time, but instead they would have to bear huge risks.

Xi Jinbai gave a reason, "Miss Min urged me to find a partner. Instead of looking for someone I don't like, I'd rather find someone I'm familiar with." After a pause, he added, "Given the relationship between our two families, it's only right for me to help."

Sang Yu was silent.

Marriage is no trivial matter, and she had never considered it so early before.

Xi Jinbai knew that she had concerns. "After we get married, you can still do whatever you want. I will support all your decisions and treat you well as much as I can. We have known each other since childhood and know each other well. After marriage, we can slowly get used to each other and cultivate our feelings."

Sang Yu concentrated on thinking.

Indeed, knowing each other since childhood and knowing each other's character, I have reduced a lot of concerns.

Xi Jinbai also promised: "If I do anything to let you down, all my property will belong to you, and we can sign a prenuptial agreement."

There was a flash of surprise in Sang Yu's eyes. Such a promise was too precious. He had shown all his sincerity, and she seemed to have no reason to refuse.

Marrying him would solve all your problems.

Finally, she nodded and said, "I promise you."

Xi Jinbai raised his lips slightly, and a gentle voice came out of his throat: "Okay, then I'll go back and tell my mom to talk to my aunt. You don't have to think too much, okay?"

Sang Yu's heart trembled slightly, "Yeah."

He considered everything.

But he had clearly said before that he would not marry into the Ji family and that he did not like her, so why did he suddenly change his mind?

After hesitating for a long time, I still didn't ask.

After the chat, Xi Jinbai drove Sang Yu home.

The atmosphere when they were alone together was a little awkward.

Sang Yu thought about it and found it unbelievable that she and Xi Jinbai were actually going to get married, two people who had no feelings for each other and didn't like each other.

"You want to marry me, do uncle and aunt agree?"

Moreover, at this critical moment, everyone wants to stay away from it.

Xi Jinbai glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, "My parents have always liked you, they will only be happy, don't worry."

"But……"

"Believe me."

These three words may not be credible if spoken by others, but they are reliable when spoken by him.

Sang Yu said no more. It took more than an hour to get home.

Before getting off the car, Xi Jinbai reminded her: "Don't worry, the company's affairs will be resolved soon."

Sang Yu said "hmm" lightly, "Then I'll go back..."

"Wait a moment." Xi Jinbai called her suddenly, his voice more serious, "Sang Yu, I want to say one thing in advance. After marriage, I don't want to be a couple with you in name only. I hope we can manage our marriage well and live happily together."

Their eyes met, and the moment their gazes met, it seemed as if they were swallowed up by the depth, reaching straight to their hearts without any obstruction.

Sang Yu was stunned for a moment, "...Okay."

Xi Jinbai stretched out his hand and covered the back of her hand, wrapping it with his broad palm, and the warmth was transmitted to the surface of her skin. "So you have to get used to it slowly. You can rely on me if you have any problems. I will help you solve them."

Sang Yu curled his fingertips, his palms moistened, "Hmm."

After a long while, he finally let go and said, "Go in."

Sang Yu pushed open the car door to escape the stagnant air and said "goodbye" in a hurry.

There is air conditioning in the car, but it still feels stuffy.

Just because they held hands? Strictly speaking, that didn't even count as holding hands.
-
As night falls, Hong Kong Island is shrouded in bustling neon lights.

Min Jiangyue had no intention of appreciating it. He sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a half-glass of red wine in his hand, deep in thought, frowning from time to time.

She was wondering whether she should tell Xi Jinbai what the abbot had told her, so that he could take the initiative and catch up with the girl sooner. But she was afraid that it would be bad if she interfered.

The doorbell suddenly interrupted her troubled thoughts.

She put the cup down, stood up and went to open the door.

Xi Jinbai stood at the door, "Miss, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Min Jiangyue turned back to the living room.

Xi Jinbai closed the door and came in, saying bluntly: "I want to marry Sang Yu."

Hearing this, Min Jiangyue's ears buzzed. She turned around and stared at him, her pupils slightly widened. "What did you say?"

"I want to marry Sang Yu." He repeated.

Min Jiangyue's brain short-circuited and he was unable to react.

These two people haven't even been in a relationship yet, why are they suddenly getting married?

So, when the abbot said that everything is before our eyes, did he mean that the people and the marriage are all before our eyes? This is too accurate...

Xi Jinbai: "I've talked to Sang Yu, and she agrees. I'd like you to talk to her parents on my behalf."

Min Jiangyue opened her mouth in astonishment.

She couldn't understand what her son was trying to do.

"Why did you agree to marry Sang Yu? The two of you..."

Xi Jinbai asked: "Don't you like her?"

"Yes, but..."

"The Ji family needs a lot of capital turnover now. If we get married, the Xi family can naturally inject capital."

Min Jiangyue suddenly realized, "Are you going to help the Ji family?"

"That's part of the reason." Xi Jinbai continued, "I don't know much about the etiquette of proposing marriage proposal, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of it when the time comes."

Min Jiangyue agreed without thinking, and finally forgot to ask him what the other reason was.

But it doesn’t matter anymore. Since the master said that they are a good match, then it must be true.

After discussing the matter with Xi Minghan on the phone, she went to visit Ji's house the next day and mentioned the matter to Ji Wanning.

"Marriage?" Ji Wanning's reaction was similar to hers when she first heard about it, shocked and confused.

Min Jiangyue explained to her, "The day before yesterday, I went to Ling'an Temple to ask the abbot about Xi Jinbai's marriage. The master told me personally that the word 'Yu' is in his destiny and is just around the corner. Isn't that your Yu Yu? You should also know how effective the abbot's fortune-telling is. Since the two children are destined to be together, now is the best time."
