"Dear in-laws, we will take our leave now. Please think it over carefully, and if you have any further requests, feel free to call us directly. We will definitely make you satisfied. We’ll be on our way, no need to see us off."
Lu Qi exchanged glances with the others, and once the Lu Family received the signal, they quickly withdrew from the Sang Family before anyone could react, even closing the door behind them.
Lu Jing had wanted to say a few words to Sang Yu, but seeing her dazed expression made him realize she must have been frightened. Sighing, he decided it was better to wait until they got home to call her; today wasn’t the right time for conversation.
"Let’s go, let’s go! Hurry up and drive!" Lu Qi urged the driver as they left the Sang Family’s residence, anxious that they might come after them.
"Mission accomplished!" After they had driven a safe distance away, Lu Qi excitedly celebrated with his daughter-in-law.
Indeed, this was a strategy that their family had discussed at home. The engagement had to be unexpected and swift.
Lu Jing looked at his mother and brother with admiration. They truly were shrewd businesspeople; their cleverness was impressive. He could only imagine how stunned his father-in-law's family must be right now—they probably hadn’t even recovered from the shock yet.
The Sang Family stood in front of the closed door, staring at the pile of gifts at their feet, unable to collect their thoughts for quite some time.
Finally, it was Sang Xia who broke the silence in the living room. "Sister, are we really getting engaged?"
Sang's father and Sang Yu responded in unison, "Huh? Are we getting engaged? It seems like... maybe we are?"
Goodness! Was this really a hasty preparation? Was this really a simple arrangement? They were supposed to be celebrating a festival, but this was likely several times more extravagant than usual.
"How cunning! This family is too cunning!" Sang's father exclaimed in frustration as he slapped the sofa. The business acumen of the Lu Family was overwhelming; they were no match for them at all. It was a crushing defeat in the first round!
The couple had thought that Lu Family's father might bring up marriage eventually, but they hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly. The speed was astonishing—like a rocket!
"What business does Da Bao's family run?" Sang Yu asked. "The betrothal gifts are just too generous." She still couldn’t wrap her head around it; after all, their own bride price was only one hundred thousand, while they had given over a million and even promised company shares after marriage.
"I don’t know much; I just know they’re in business. Lu Jing is from a wealthy family," she replied. "Oh right, I think Lu Group is theirs. Our family are all teachers and haven’t paid much attention to the business world."
"What is Lu Jing doing now? He’s not just lounging around at home, is he?" Sang's father suddenly asked. "He better not be a spoiled rich kid; if that’s the case, no matter how rich his family is, I wouldn’t agree."
"How could that be? Lu Jing used to always rank first in exams. Now he runs his own renovation company and it seems to be doing well," she reassured him.
"What do we do about all this?" Sang Yu pointed at the gifts on the table and floor.
"What else can we do? Let’s just put them away for now." Sang's father sighed as he looked at the pile of gifts on the floor. Why didn’t the Lu Family follow conventional practices? Why did they bring all these betrothal gifts directly?
"Da Bao, what do you think? Is he really the one?"
"Dad, there has never been anyone else."
"Alright then, let’s go ahead with it. The Lu Family seems sincere enough. It’s not just because of their generous gifts; their apology felt genuine as well. Since Da Bao has already made up her mind about him, what else can we do?"
