Chapter 175 Brother Shi x Shen Qi I don't plan to get married
The breeze gently blows across the lake, causing ripples, like a flowing painting.
The air was filled with the faint scent of flowers and grass.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Shi Mingting, wearing a black suit, returned to the Shi family villa.
In the spacious living room of the villa, several servants were working in an orderly manner. Shi's father and mother were sitting on the sofa, teaching their second son Shi Mingjun a lesson.
Father Shi had a serious look on his face, and his tone contained a hint of disappointment.
"I have already arranged an engagement for you and Shen Qi. Why do you insist on canceling it? This is an engagement that was arranged by your grandfather's generation. You must fulfill it."
Shi Mingjun was resisting, "Grandpa only said that we would be married when we were children, but he didn't specify that the person had to be me. I already have someone I like, and I don't want to miss her."
As he was speaking, Shi Mingjun saw Shi Mingting walking towards the sofa.
When he saw his elder brother coming, he felt like he saw his savior.
"When it comes to arranging a marriage with the Shen family, shouldn't the eldest brother be the one to decide according to the order of priority? It's not fair to let me decide."
Only then did the father and mother notice that their eldest son had returned home from get off work.
Mother Shi glanced at the wall clock. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. She always worked overtime so late, her body could not bear it.
Shi Mingting took off his suit jacket and handed it to the servant next to him. The servant took the jacket respectfully, turned around and quickly left the place.
The man stretched out his long, bony fingers and loosened the black tie around his neck.
He walked to the sofa with an indifferent expression and sat on the single sofa next to it.
Shi's mother stood up and walked over to the side, pouring him a glass of water. "Ming Ting, no one is forcing you to work overtime. You don't have to work so hard. Come back early every day."
Tonight, Shi's mother prepared a lot of dishes that Shi Mingting liked, preparing for him to come back for dinner.
After the call, Shi Mingting said he had to work overtime at the company and would not go home for dinner.
Shi Mingting is now the president of Mingsheng Group. The company has many subsidiaries and he has a lot of work to do every day.
He is very efficient at work and can actually leave work on time in the evening, but he also has high demands on himself and strives for excellence, so he often works overtime until very late before going home.
His parents had advised him many times not to work overtime, but it was of no use as he still put work first.
The man took the water handed to him by his mother, looked up and took a few sips.
The white Adam's apple slid a few times as he swallowed, creating a moving arc under the light.
After drinking the water, he slowly put down the glass and looked up at Shi Mingjun.
"Why do you suddenly disagree with the engagement with the Shen family?"
Shi Mingjun lowered his head and whispered, "I already have someone I like. I don't like Shen Qi and don't want to marry him."
The man's eyes flashed with surprise, "Do you have someone you like? Who do you like?"
Shi Mingjun didn't dare to look at Shi Mingting's sharp eyes, he replied in a low voice.
"Brother, don't ask me. Anyway, I don't like Shen Qi and I won't marry her. You are my grandfather's eldest grandson, so it is most appropriate for you to fulfill this engagement."
After hearing what their second son said, Shi's parents were a little shaken. Their eldest son didn't date or get married, and his only focus was on work all day long.
It would be great if he could fulfill his engagement with the Shen family, so that he wouldn't be single and alone for the rest of his life.
Mother Shi looked at Shi Mingting and said tentatively, "Mingting, you see your brother is really unwilling to fulfill the engagement. You are the eldest grandson and the eldest son, why don't you fulfill the engagement?"
The man's expression was still cold, and his words were cold, "I don't plan to get married."
Shi's mother turned her gaze to Shi Mingting, her eyes full of worry and concern. Her eldest son was already thirty years old and had never been in a relationship, let alone getting married and starting a family.
She sighed softly, "Ming Ting, you are already thirty years old and still single. This cannot go on. As your parents, we all hope to see you find a suitable partner and build your own family."
After listening to his mother's words, Shi Mingting spoke in a deep voice.
"Mom, I know you care about me. I have no plans to get married, so I'd better focus on my career first."
Shi's mother frowned. She was not satisfied with her son's answer. Although living alone is free, family is also an indispensable part of life.
"Career and family are not in conflict with each other. You can consider fulfilling your engagement with the Shen family."
Shi Mingting frowned, "I said I have no intention of getting married, there is no way I can agree to it."
Seeing her son's firm attitude, Shi's mother couldn't help feeling helpless.
She understood her son's thoughts, but as a mother, she still hoped to see him settle down, get married and have children as soon as possible.
"Okay, Mom doesn't want to put too much pressure on you. I just hope you can take this issue seriously and stop dragging it out. Even if you don't fulfill your engagement with the Shen family, you should find another girl to date or get married. You can't keep going like this."
The man stretched out his long fingers and rubbed his brows with a headache. They were obviously talking about Mingjun's broken engagement, so why did it involve him again?
"If Mingjun really doesn't want to, then cancel the engagement with the Shen family. When the grandfathers of both sides made the engagement, none of you were born yet, and it's unfair to them."
Hearing what he said, Shi's father frowned, "If we cancel the engagement, how can we explain to the Shen family? The old lady of the Shen family will not agree to cancel the engagement made by Mr. Shen."
"How do you know if you don't try? Maybe their family will agree." Shi Mingjun hurriedly responded.
Father Shi gave his second son a glare and said, "Why did you have to cancel the engagement for me?"
Before, he did intend to let Ming Ting fulfill the engagement, but seeing that Ming Ting had no intention of doing so, he arranged a marriage for his second son according to the order.
If he didn't feel indebted to his second son, he would not have agreed to let him cancel the engagement.
Thinking of this, Shi's father turned and looked at Shi Mingjun.
"Go to Shen's house tomorrow night and give it a try. If you can back out, then back out. If you really can't back out, then you'll fulfill your engagement with Shen Qi."
Hearing what his father said, Shi Mingjun's face was full of disapproval, "If we want to get married, it should be the eldest brother who should get married first, and if we want to fulfill the marriage contract, it should be the eldest brother who should fulfill it first."
Seeing that Shi Mingjun brought the topic back to himself, Shi Mingting's face became even colder.
In his eyes, career is the most important thing, and everything else takes a back seat.
He looked at the people in the living room and spoke in a cold voice.
"Anyway, I will not marry Shen Qi. If it really doesn't work out, you can just let Third Brother fulfill the engagement."
After the man finished speaking, he got up and went upstairs.
How could it be possible to ask him to fulfill his engagement with Shen Qi!
He never planned to marry any woman in his life.
