Liu Lan took in everyone's expressions without a hint of emotion, casually giving her son an approving glance.
Originally, her plan was to directly suggest a change in bride, but Chen Yan's words, "Instead of forcing her, why not make her fall in love with me?" made her reconsider.
Only with wholehearted willingness can one avoid unnecessary drama in the daily life.
"Mr. Yu?" Liu Lan's voice interrupted his wandering thoughts. She put down the teacup in her hand and smiled faintly. "I discussed with Shiguang and we've decided to increase the betrothal gift."
Yu Baisheng was taken aback, completely unable to grasp their intentions. A marriage alliance itself was already a step up for the Yu Family, and now this...
An idea flashed through his mind as his gaze instinctively landed on the refined gentleman drinking water nearby, a glint flickering in his eyes.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Yu Baisheng replied disapprovingly, "Mrs. Chen, this seems rather inappropriate."
