Chapter 390: Marriage Proposal
Qin Zhenzhen excitedly shared the news of Fourth Brother and Chen Shanshan with her parents and grandmother. The atmosphere in the room was filled with joy as they decided on a suitable day to send a matchmaker to the Chen family to propose marriage.
Chen Youwei and his wife had been well aware of their daughter’s affection for Qin Silong for quite some time. The parents on both sides wasted no time in earnestly discussing and finalizing the marriage arrangements.
Mrs. Yang, Qin Zhenzhen’s mother, had a favorable impression of Chen Shanshan. Her four sons were known for their robust and straightforward nature, devoid of any hidden agendas. Although they had been a bit overbearing and unreasonable in the past, they had matured considerably over the past year. All in all, Mrs. Yang firmly believed that her son was a decent and honest person without any ulterior motives. Therefore, she hoped that her future daughter-in-law would also be straightforward and sincere—qualities she found in Chen Shanshan.
As Mrs. Yang contemplated her son’s likely absence from home for the next two or three years, she felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Chen Shanshan. This sentiment translated into more generous betrothal gifts for her. To avoid any potential discord, Mrs. Yang took the time to explain the changes in their family’s circumstances to her two daughters-in-law.
"Our family has undergone some changes recently. In the past, we were content and never went without. But now, we can rightfully say we are well-off. I owe this to your grandmother and sister, and I’m also grateful for the generosity of Young Master."
Despite Qin Zhenzhen’s marriage into the Su family, she had made it clear that not all the income she generated from her business endeavors belonged to the Su family. She and Su Bin maintained a cooperative partnership.
