Chapter 394 265: The Marriage Proposal!
"He already knows."
Shen Qiushan shrugged.
"Already knows?"
"Did Old Lin agree?"
Old Shen was shocked. On New Year's Eve, both of them had dinner at Shen Qiushan's mansion. At the time, Lin Moxuan had been subtly complaining to Old Shen about his daughter getting too close to Shen Qiushan.
From Lin Moxuan's attitude, it was clear that he was very much against Lin Xiamo being with Shen Qiushan.
"He agreed!"
"However, he made a request: the wedding must follow the local customs of Sanjiang, starting from the marriage proposal!"
"And according to our Sanjiang customs, for a marriage proposal, the groom's parents and elder representatives must visit together."
"So, Dad, you'll have to work a bit hard."
Shen Qiushan explained Lin Moxuan's requirements.
"That's not hard at all!"
"It's just a marriage proposal. I'll personally make the trip!"
"Right, I'll give your second uncle a call to see if he and your second aunt have time. Our Shen Family is not short of people; there should be two elders attending."
"According to the customs, a bride price needs to be prepared, along with five kinds of gold jewelry. Qiushan, how much are you planning for the bride price?"
Old Shen, being a native of Sanjiang, understood the wedding customs and rituals well.
"Let's set the bride price at 8.88 million."
On the way back, Shen Qiushan had thought about this. He knew Lin Xiamo didn't care much about the bride price sum.
Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu wouldn't mind either, as the Lin Family was not short of money.
But the amount of the bride price was a matter of face; the Lin family's relatives would care.
Now, Shen Qiushan was not short of money at all; he could afford even a hundred million for the bride price, but it wasn't necessary.
After some deliberation, he chose the auspicious number of 8.88 million.
Of course, that's not all. Besides the 8.88 million bride price, he also planned to give a house in his neighborhood.
Shen Qiushan's idea was that Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu could conveniently help with their granddaughter or grandson when they moved in.
When marrying Lin Chuxue, Shen Qiushan had nothing. Now that he was wealthy, he had to make amends somehow.
"Yes, that's an auspicious number!"
Old Shen knew his son was now successful and not short of money.
Moreover, because of the past incident with Lin Chuxue, he felt apologetic towards the Lin Family. Now having the opportunity and ability to make amends, giving a more generous bride price was appropriate.
"Bro, I'm curious, how did Mayor Lin come to agree?"
"When he was at your place for dinner on the 30th, he seemed very opposed to you two being together!"
At this point, Shen Dehua curiously asked.
"Momo is pregnant."
"He has no choice but to agree."
Shen Qiushan chuckled and shrugged.
"Really?"
"So I get to be a grandpa again?"
Old Shen was overjoyed, his wrinkles breaking into a wide smile.
"Of course it's true."
"Otherwise, my father-in-law might not have agreed!"
Shen Qiushan lightly shrugged.
One reason he didn't mention was the merit of the "Little Blue Bottle."
The bride price included 20 Little Blue Bottles and 20 "sprays!"
All good stuff!
"That's great!"
"Our Shen Family is having a triple celebration!"
Old Shen's face was full of a bright smile.
"Qiushan, there's something I want to discuss with you. Since you're not opposed to me marrying Aunt Wang, shouldn't she move in?"
Old Shen said while rubbing his hands, his face full of anticipation.
Men are only trustworthy when they're committed.
Besides, Old Shen had been watching "big long legs" on short videos all day, itching to act.
"I have no objections, you two discuss it!"
Shen Qiushan naturally wouldn't prevent his father from pursuing his own happiness.
"It's fine if you have no objections."
"Then I'll go tell her right away!"
"Dehua, I'm heading up first!"
Old Shen stood up, ready to go upstairs to call his future companion to share the good news.
"Dad, I'll go upstairs with you!"
Shen Qiushan followed his father upstairs, then handed him two Little Blue Bottles.
"Qiushan, what are these?"
Old Shen looked at his son with suspicion.
"Good stuff. You'll need it when Aunt Wang moves in."
Shen Qiushan chuckled.
"You brat!!"
Old Shen immediately guessed the use of the items and happily accepted them.
"Dad, I'll transfer 300,000 to your account in a bit."
"Since you're getting married, tidy up the house a bit and buy Aunt Wang some jewelry and clothes or something. Don't treat her poorly."
Right now, Shen Qiushan was flush with cash and didn't care about this small amount of money.
"Alright, alright!"
Old Shen nodded repeatedly, grinning from ear to ear.
They say having a son is for old age protection; he not only got old-age protection but also a companion taken care of!
This is truly a good son!
In the following two days.
Shen Qiushan went on a shopping spree.
He bought two 248-square-meter houses in Jinjiang Bay, one as part of the bride price for Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu.
The other was for his father, although Old Shen clearly expressed he didn't want to live in such a large house, Shen Qiushan, as a son, still wanted to be fair.
The house was bought first, whether to live in it or not was up to them. Money was not an issue.
Besides the two houses, Shen Qiushan bought two cars, a Zunjie S800 and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, with a molten lava red exterior.
He knew Lin Xiamo liked SUVs, so he simply bought a top-tier SUV, also making him a proud Rolls-Royce owner.
Besides these purchases, Shen Qiushan withdrew ten million in cash!
Included was 8.88 million neatly placed in the Cullinan's trunk.
