Chapter 286 Preparing for Marriage
"You know me quite well." Shen Zhaoli still smiled, his tone calm enough, "In this case, you should also know that age should not be a label for me."

"You are indeed not a child with an uncertain mind, but Wen Jiao doesn't know the situation of the Wen family, but you should know that I can't hold on for much longer." Wen Yongwei looked directly at Shen Zhaoli and spoke each word with emphasis, "You will gain nothing by being with Wen Jiao now."

"I do not want anything."

"Does your brother know what you mean?"

"I don't need to discuss anything with my brother." Shen Zhaoli said calmly, "My life and my decisions do not require the permission of others."

Wen Yongwei's eyes flashed with admiration, but soon, he continued expressionlessly: "You should know Wen Jiao very well. You know that she has no interest in you and she doesn't like you."

"It's not important whether Wen Jiao loves me or not. Over time, I will always be able to make her heart beat. All I need now is your approval." Shen Zhaoli said nonchalantly. He still looked harmless, but his words were strong and clear: "In the whole of Hong Kong, no one can afford to marry her except me."

Wen Yongwei likes Shen Zhaoli's personality very much. This seemingly young and casual man is actually very shrewd and resourceful. Wen Yongwei does not doubt the authenticity of his words. The facts are indeed as he said.

"Shen Zhaoli, I admire you very much, but I have to remind you that you are wrong. Marriage is not your business alone. If Wen Jiao doesn't want to, I can't force her to marry you." Wen Yongwei smiled, and seeing the surprise on Shen Zhaoli's face, his smile deepened: "Do you think that the previous marriage between Wei Shuqian and Wen Jiao was arranged by me, despite Wen Jiao's opposition, and I wanted her to marry him?"

"She likes Wei Shuqian."

"Yes, Jiaojiao likes her. Jiaojiao's love is more important to me as a father than anything else. Even if the Wen family will be destroyed and I may not be able to keep this place, I will not let my daughter become a bargaining chip for the revitalization of the Wen family. My daughter is just my daughter."

Wen Yongwei smiled and looked at Shen Zhaoli, with strong admiration in his eyes, "You are very similar to me when I was young, but you are less experienced in matters between men and women. Love has nothing to do with rationality."

Before Shen Zhaoli sat in front of Wen Yongwei, he didn't know much about Wen Yongwei. He just thought out of inertia that he was probably a profit-oriented person.

But at this moment, Shen Zhaoli discovered that it seemed not to be the case.

He suddenly understood why Wen Jiao was different from other women. She had a father who loved her wholeheartedly.

"Mr. Wen, I understand what you mean. Can you give me an hour? I have something to say to Wen Jiao."

Wen Yongwei was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you want to say?"

"You'll know in an hour. Is it convenient for her to come down?"

Wen Yongwei smiled playfully, "Do you think that in one hour, you can make Wen Jiao change her mind and marry you?"

"Why not?" Shen Zhaoli smiled.

When Wen Jiao came down from upstairs, she had already changed into pajamas.

When she saw Shen Zhaoli, she frowned at first, then sat down angrily.

"Why don't you leave? I tell you, my house is just a floor bed, there's no room for you."

Shen Zhaoli looked at Wen Jiao. With Wen Yongwei watching, he smiled and said slowly, "I just mentioned it to your father. I said I want to marry you."

"you"

"Don't worry, your father doesn't agree. He loves you very much and all decisions are based on your feelings first." Shen Zhaoli said calmly.

Wen Jiao was unsure for a moment. She looked at him anxiously, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Wen Jiao, do you think that if you are given three years, you can become a person who can stand on your own like Bian Yue is now?" Shen Zhaoli looked at Wen Jiao and asked sharply, "Can you support the Wen Group?"

Wen Jiao was caught off guard, and for a moment, his expression changed, and he was at a loss. "What does this have to do with you?"

"Your father is 68 years old this year. Under normal circumstances, he would have retired. Wen Jiao, it's because he loves you so much that he has been supporting the Wen Group so that you can grow up without worries." The slumbering brows were calm, "But now, shouldn't you really grow up?"

"Shen Zhaoli"

"I know you don't like me. It's hard for people to fall in love with someone. You have Wei Shuqian in your heart, so you can't easily forget him. But Wen Jiao, you can't spend your whole life guarding memories." Shen Zhaoli quietly looked at Wen Jiao's pale face under the light, his voice still gentle, "Marry me, you may not fall in love with me, but I promise you that I can be loyal to you and guard the Wen family for your father."

Wen Jiao thought that Shen Zhaoli had always given in to her.

He is the real master of negotiation. If he wanted to, he would have been defeated long ago. Those so-called eloquence are just his way of not taking himself too seriously.

Wen Jiao understood all the hidden meanings in Shen Zhaoli's words.

Wei Shuqian and the Wen family's marriage fell through, and many people outside were watching the joke, and Wen Jiao knew it.

Wen Yongwei has been in a difficult situation for many years and has been unable to do what he wanted, and Wen Jiao knows it.

She lives a carefree life only because someone is supporting her.

She knows it all.

Before she knew it, Shen Zhaoli had already walked up to her.

He lowered his eyes to look at him, and said softly: "Wen Jiao, I am your best solution. Apart from love, I can satisfy you with anything you want."

When Bian Yue woke up, she saw Shen Zhaoli was there too.

He was sitting at the dining table in the hall, Shen Jinci was sitting opposite him, and the two were chatting.

"Wen Jiao and I have decided to get married." Shen Zhaoli took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "After Bian Shu is buried, we will get married as soon as possible. I plan to keep the wedding simple, and after the wedding is over, I want to go on a honeymoon."

"Well, congratulations."

Bian Yue was standing not far away, looking shocked, and she thought she was hallucinating.

It was just a nap, how could such a big thing happen?

"You and Wen Jiao are getting married?" Bian Yue walked up to Shen Zhaoli in shock, "When did you two get together?"

"We've never been together." Shen Zhaoli smiled, his expression relaxed. He said, "Bian Yue, I like challenging difficult situations. Wen Jiao's challenge is very difficult, and I'm very interested."

Shen Jinci gently held Bian Yue's hand, his fingertips were warm, and he said softly, "Yueyue, let's eat first."

Bian Yue didn't have much of an appetite, so she ate a little bit at a time, and was absent-minded until she saw Wen Jiao.

Wen Jiao was looking at the wedding plan. She sat in front of Bian Yue, looking calm and composed.

Bian Yue looked at her in surprise and asked, "Why are you and Shen Zhaoli together?"

"We are a good match." Wen Jiao raised his eyes and looked at Bian Yue, seemingly calm, "I think he is quite suitable."
