"But words are cheap. Actions speak louder. I toast to you with this cup of wine. You can come see Xinxin anytime you like. If anyone in our Chen Family ever wrongs her, I will get on my knees and beg for your forgiveness."
The atmosphere was set, and the words tumbled out of Mr. Chen.
Chen Zhengnian was their only son, so everything the family owned would one day be his.
Mrs. Wang said no more and simply gave a light nod.
The marriage between Wang Xinxin and Chen Zhengnian was finally settled.
There was no grand ceremony. In the Chen family's tidy main hall, the two families simply sat together and drank a cup of tea, officially formalizing the union.
The wrinkles on Mr. Chen's face smoothed out.
