Chapter 24: Marriage Certificate

Ouyang looked at the painting, he thought it was good, and he liked it. Ouyang sent it to his phone.

“Grandpa, when are you going to visit Grandpa Li’s house? I’ll go with you. I haven’t seen Jingcheng for a long time. I’ll go with you.” Ouyang suggested.

“We’ll go tomorrow to see how he’s doing. If you want to go, you can go with us.” Old Master Ou didn’t refuse when he heard Ouyang wanted to see Li Jingcheng.

“Okay, Grandpa. I’ll go up first.”

Ouyang returned to his room and sent a message to his elder brother.

“Big Brother, Jingcheng got married. Grandpa Li arranged for him to get married. I’m going to see tomorrow if she’s worthy of my Jingcheng.”

Ou Heng stood up when he saw the message and immediately called his younger brother.

“Big Brother.” Ouyang called out sweetly.

“What do you mean? Grandpa Li arranged for Jingcheng to get married?” This is absurd! Jingcheng’s current condition, how could he get married? This woman, who knows what her intentions are? Grandpa Li is really inconsiderate!

“It’s true. Grandpa and Mom both told me not to come home if I couldn’t find a girlfriend because of this. They said that Jingcheng could get married even while lying in bed, and I, a big star, can’t even find a girlfriend. They think I’m a disgrace.”

“You’re indeed quite a disgrace.” Ou Heng nodded in agreement.

“Big Brother, you’re three years older than me, and you haven’t married and had children either?” Ouyang was unhappy when he heard his brother say that.

“If you’re willing to come back to the company to help me, I’ll go on blind dates immediately.” Ou Heng said with a headache.

Ouyang shut up when he heard that. “Big Brother, don’t rush into marriage. Take your time.”

Ou Heng leaned against the railing, looking at the twinkling lights below. “I really don’t understand how you think. Others would kill to get a job at the company and fight for the family assets, but you act like it’s a death sentence for you to enter the company.”

“I really don’t like it. Besides, what’s there to fight for? The more you work, the more you get. I already have some shares. You have the talent for this, you’ve been groomed as the successor since childhood, and you also demand this of yourself. Why should I fight with you? If I don’t fight, I won’t lose anything. If I fight, I’ll lose a good brother, and the family won’t be happy either.”

Ouyang wasn’t stupid. He understood the priorities. If he really liked business, he would start his own company. He wouldn’t join the family business. It would be bad for his brother, and those with ulterior motives would definitely use it to sabotage his brother.

Ou Heng was comforted by Ouyang’s words. He had a good brother.

“Okay, I understand. Our company has a new project that’s about to launch. We need a promotional video. Remember to schedule a time to shoot it. After all, you have shares and dividends, so you don’t have to pay someone to shoot it.” Ou Heng still had to use his brother.

“Okay, Big Brother. I’ll tell my assistant beforehand. I’ll definitely make time for it.” Ouyang didn’t refuse.

“Alright, I’ll go visit Jingcheng later.” Ou Heng was also worried without going to see him.

“Grandpa is going to visit tomorrow. I’ll go with him to see first. I’ll tell you more tomorrow.” Ouyang told him about going to see him tomorrow.

“Okay, you go and have a look first. I have something here. I’ll hang up first.” Ou Heng saw that it was Zhou Yi calling and answered. He probably also heard the news.

“Okay, Big Brother, take care.” Ouyang didn’t think much of it and waited for his brother to hang up before lying in bed looking at the painting on his phone.

Xiao Miaomiao chatted with Li Jingcheng after dinner.

“Li Jingcheng, I didn’t expect my painting to enter the Li family’s door before me and be loved by you. I’ll paint many more paintings in the future. Grandpa even gave me a thousand yuan for one painting. I think I can net at least eight hundred yuan.” Xiao Miaomiao felt motivated to paint again.

Before, she just thought of painting as a way to pass the time. Now, she could pass the time and make money, which was a pleasant surprise.

“Grandpa said he’s waiting for you to wake up and claim the painting. Grandpa has kept it well, just waiting for you to wake up and ask for it.” Xiao Miaomiao didn’t know if it was because of the Li family’s expectations, but she also hoped that he would wake up one day.

“I don’t know if you’re capable, but hopefully, you could make me pregnant last night. Then I can just focus on raising the baby and wait for the child to be born. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like me when you wake up. I’ll raise the child after it’s born. I can visit from time to time. But I’m taking your chef. I signed a contract. Even if I divorce you after having a child, I’m taking the chef.”

“There’s no way. I agreed to marry you and have children because I liked your chef’s cooking. I can also cook, but I don’t cook as well as your chef. I want to learn from him if I have time, but I don’t know if he takes apprentices.”

Xiao Miaomiao originally planned to chat for a while and then go to the room prepared for her by Li’s mother, but as they talked, she felt sleepy and didn’t want to go. She simply turned off the lights and slept next to Li Jingcheng. She didn’t go back to her room.

Ouyang Xuan was used to coming to see her son before going to bed. When she turned on the light and saw the two of them lying together, a smile flashed in her eyes. It seemed like she needed to change this habit.

Ouyang Xuan turned off the light and went back to her room.

Li Chen looked at her in surprise. “Didn’t you go to see Jingcheng? Why are you back so soon?”

“No need to look. And don’t go again in the future. Miaomiao didn’t go back. I cleaned up the room next door for her. She’s sleeping in the same room as Jingcheng, in the same bed.”

“Miaomiao is really a good child. We can finally rest assured about entrusting Jingcheng to her. We just need to wait for the child to be born. If we have a child, we’ll raise it well. Even if Jingcheng really doesn’t wake up, we can leave with peace of mind.” Ouyang Xuan hadn’t been this happy in a long time.

“By the way, I made a big splash in the circle of wealthy women today. Before, they all said that Jingcheng had high standards and wouldn’t look at their daughters. They said that Jingcheng would be bedridden for the rest of his life and that the Li family’s bloodline would be cut off. Now, my son can marry even while in a coma. Their sons are alive and kicking, but they haven’t even married.”

“I told you, Miaomiao is a blessing to our family. When I saw her, my discomfort and unhappiness disappeared. I think Mom and Dad are right. Miaomiao is our lucky star.” Ouyang Xuan lay in bed and said to her husband.

Li Chen didn’t refute. Miaomiao’s willingness to marry into the family was a relief for them. If she really had a child with Jingcheng, they could finally rest assured. Their family’s education was good. Jingcheng would have children to take care of him in his later years, and they could finally rest assured.
