Chapter 1644: Epilogue (17)

“So you’re saying Mo Zhi is in jail together with Big Belly?” Si Jingyu widened her eyes as she stared at Shi Jinyan.

They had been paying close attention to everything that was happening in Mo Xicheng’s family and knew about everything in detail.

Shi Jinyan nodded.

Stunned, the woman asked, “Isn’t that a little cruel?”

Shi Jinyan narrowed his eyes and replied, “If it were me, I wouldn’t be as kind. You need to be tough when you’re dealing with someone who has been harming you since childhood, someone who would even kill his own father!”

Si Jingyu sighed in relief when she heard this. She raised her head and exchanged a glance with Shi Nianyao, who was standing by the side.

Both of them had been worried that Shi Jinyan and Shi Xun would criticize Mo Xicheng and wouldn’t let Shi Nianyao stay with the man.

But after hearing Shi Jinyan’s assessment of him, they ceased worrying.

At this thought, Si Jingyu coughed softly and looked at Shi Nianyao again, saying, “But now that Mo Xicheng is done with managing his father’s funeral, it seems you may have to delay your wedding plans.”

Shi Nianyao was taken aback and asked, “Why?”

Shi Xun interrupted before Si Jingyu could speak, “Because there’s been a death in the family! The family is forbidden to hold a wedding within the next three years!”

“What?!” Shi Nianyao almost hit the roof. “Three years?!”

Her idol had told her that, once he had settled his family business, he would announce the wedding.

But now they had to wait three years?!

How could this have happened?

She pouted and was about to protest when Shi Jinyan said, “That long? Three years?”

Shi Xun nodded and said, “That’s right. Besides, our Nianyao is still young. She really doesn’t have to get married so soon. She can get married in three years and, after that, wait three years more before she thinks about having kids. That’s not bad!”

He said this with a serious tone, but Si Jingyu frowned at once and retorted, “The ideal time for a woman to have children is between the ages of 25 and 30, so what you’ve said makes sense. But for these two, who are madly in love, it seems a little cruel to keep them apart.”

“What’s so cruel about it? If he can’t endure it, he’s free to go. Our Nianyao doesn’t lack options! Besides, why should we wait three years for him?”

In wealthy families, the sons and daughters generally got married at a younger age. Indeed, in three years, Nianyao would be a little over the hill.

Shi Xun was somewhat grumpy as he made this point.

Shi Jinyan got to his feet immediately upon hearing this and said at once, “What are you talking about? It’s not like we don’t have a solution.”

All three of them turned simultaneously to look at him. “What solution do you have?”

Shi Jinyan coughed lightly and said, “Well, that would be… to get married within seven days of Mo Hai’s death.”

Everyone: …

Si Jingyu was not impressed to hear this. “Marrying our daughter off in such a hurry is not good for Nianyao’s reputation!”

Shi Jinyan frowned as well.

Shi Xun snorted icily and added, “Besides, why should we look as though we’re in a hurry to marry her off when his family hasn’t even expressed their intentions to do so? I don’t get the sense that they’re in a hurry, so why should we be?”

Shi Xun’s words drew the wrath of the rest.

Si Jingyu spoke up, “You shouldn’t say that. Li Shu and Mo Hai really cared for each other. Who’d have thought—”

Just as she said these words, the butler exclaimed from outside, “Sir, Madam, Madam Li Shu is here!”
