After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 552 - 547: Wife Manages the Money, As is Proper by Nature
Chapter 552: Chapter 547: Wife Manages the Money, As is Proper by Nature
"Grandpa and I will call on the Shen Family to convey the formal wedding gifts tomorrow," Mr. Qi said to Qi Si abruptly.
Not just Qi Si, both Song Jinwei and Father Qi were surprised.
Father Qi hesitated as he started to speak.
Elder Qi gestured with his hand, "Go and prepare."
Qi Si, holding Shen Yan’s hand, started to leave, but then turned back to look once more.
"Mr. Qi."
"Grandpa and Grandpa Shen have some acquaintance, making this visit is not much of a concern."
Shen Yan followed his gaze into the room.
She knew that Elder Qi was showing the importance he attached to their wedding ceremony.
*
The next day.
Shen Yan had to leave first to return to the Shen Mansion, while Qi Si still had to go back to the Qi Mansion to join Elder Qi in bringing the wedding gifts to the Shen Family.
Qi Si stood at the door adjusting Shen Yan’s clothes, "I will arrive shortly."
Shen Yan, chuckling, said, "I’m just going over first, not leaving for long. You don’t need to cling so tightly, Mr. Qi."
It was rather embarrassing for her.
Qi Si kissed her ear, "If I could, I would keep you by my side."
Forever.
Shen Yan pushed his approaching head gently, her face blushing slightly, "I have to go now."
"Yanyan," Qi Si tightened his grip on her wrist, his gaze deeply fixed on her, "That thing, I’ve kept it safe for you. We should bury it in a place with good feng shui."
Shen Yan was completely dumbstruck!
*
Driving away, Shen Yan’s mind was somewhat muddled.
Qi Si had said they should find a place with good feng shui, where, after a century, they would rest together.
He planned to bury her past first, reserving that auspicious spot.
He had even considered their final resting place together.
This made Shen Yan feel very complex emotions.
Only when she arrived at the Shen Mansion and the servants had come to open the car door for her did she regain her composure.
Many people were already back at the Shen Mansion, gathered together to discuss Shen Yan’s and Qi Si’s wedding.
With Elder Qi’s upcoming visit, they especially couldn’t afford to be neglectful.
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Fifth Uncle..." Shen Yan greeted each of them in turn.
The Shen Family members smiled warmly as they evaluated the greatly changed Shen Yan, most of them having not seen her in person for a long time, taking this opportunity to appraise her.
"Yanyan has become more and more beautiful!"
"They say a girl changes drastically at eighteen, but at around twenty, Yanyan can still change a bit more!"
Hearing everyone praise Shen Yan, Gu Ting couldn’t help but smile broadly.
Who doesn’t love to hear compliments?
"Since your wedding is going to be in the city district, we’re afraid we can’t arrange the helicopter you mentioned, let’s replace it with something else," Shen Zuo brought up the topic.
Shen Yan felt her face grow warm at the mention, "I just mentioned it offhandedly."
"You may have said it offhandedly, but Qi Si took it seriously!" Gu Ting said with a smile: "The list he gave us the other day, when I saw it, I was astonished."
While saying so, Gu Ting’s heart was filled with joy.
Because Qi Si showed enough importance to her daughter.
Always accommodating Shen Yan, she would surely not suffer any grievances in the future.
Shen Yan felt even more embarrassed.
That day, she had just blurted it out without thinking.
"We’ve already hired people to rush the making of your bridal gown," Shen Zuo continued, "For a traditional Chinese wedding, this kind of handiwork is essential and quite time-consuming."
But the date was set in a hurry.
So they had to hire twice as many people to expedite the work; the groom’s wedding attire was a bit simpler, but the bride’s wedding gown was much more complicated.
Just the head ornaments alone needed a separate group of people to rush the work.
Ever since the traditional Chinese wedding was set, Gu Ting had taken charge of this aspect.
She would check on the progress of the work from time to time.
With just over ten days to go, they would just be able to finish in time.
Yanyan, hearing how troublesome it was and unable to lend a hand herself, felt somewhat ashamed, "Mom, about this matter, I..."
"You don’t need to worry about it, we’re here. How could we let you handle it yourself? You stick to acting. There’s no need for you to get involved. On the day of the wedding, you just need to put on your bridal gown and get into the car!" Gu Ting was happy to take care of these matters. Preparing her daughter’s wedding excited her more than anything!
Yanyan was about to speak when Shen Zuo interrupted her unspoken words, "Your mother is right. With both families working together, it would be absurd to need your help."
"Thank you, Mom and Dad."
"What’s there to thank for? It’s only right for us, as your parents, to do these things for you, and I am happy to do them!" Gu Ting said with a beaming smile as she took Yanyan’s hand, "You just need to take care of your health and give Mom and Dad a grandchild next year!"
Yanyan looked at the Shen Family, seeing everyone’s expectant expressions, and felt her heart brimming with joy!

Elder Qi and his entourage came bearing gifts.
Dozens of cars, a grand procession, drew frequent glances from passersby.
Everyone was discussing who could possibly be behind such an impressive display.
Some speculated it was some important figure arriving in Beijing.
The dozens of cars drove straight to the Shen Mansion, and people worked together to unload all the gifts, big and small. There was also a large box filled with documents and certificates.
On top were various property deeds, real estate documents, as well as several bank cards, and two large boxes of gold items.
Gold bars and cash were placed into the same large box and carried into the main hall.
Yanyan came out and saw box after box being brought in, each containing items that could intimidate with their opulence!
Every conceivable luxury was presented.
Yanyan watched, dumbfounded, as the entire main hall filled with these items, her mouth twitching.
How could she possibly match this with her own dowry?
Yanyan felt depressed again.
If there had been room for more, the Qi Family probably would have brought even more.
Elder Qi had personally written the marriage letter for Qi Si, wrapped with gold thread, shimmering with a layer of gold.
It looked extremely classy and upscale.
The calligraphy on it was even embellished with real gold powder.
Yanyan leaned in for a closer look, finding the content deeply meaningful!
"There were some parts that couldn’t be brought over, so they were sent directly to our new house," Qi Si said, standing next to Yanyan.
"... It really didn’t need to be this much," Yanyan said with a laugh that also sounded like a sob.
The more he did this, the greater the pressure she felt.
Yanyan stepped forward and saw the large box of notary certificates and bank cards, then glanced sideways at him, "What is this?"
"Everything I own."
"..."
There really was no need to include even the smallest amount of cash.
Doubting whether he had emptied his pockets completely, Yanyan sized him up, "You haven’t drained your accounts, have you?"
"Hmm," Qi Si added, "some of it was notarized and transferred to your name right after registration."
It had always been kept by him.
This time, he was handing it all to her, every penny!
Yanyan: "..."
The pressure mounted even further.
"It may be a bit on the lesser side, but I will work harder to earn more in the future."
Yanyan hurriedly came back to her senses, "No, it’s not that I think it’s too little, it’s just too much. If you give all this to me, what about your business needs in the future? Won’t that be very troublesome?"
"When that time comes, I’ll just have to trouble my wife to sign some papers!" Qi Si said in a low voice, half embracing her, "It’s only right for the wife to manage the finances."
"..."
No, she didn’t want to manage it.
Without even digging to the bottom of this large box, she knew how immense his wealth was.
Giving it all to her so nonchalantly, wasn’t he afraid she would run off with the money!
