Leena answered, "No, everything is fine. We have been together for 4 months. Everything is fine!"
Ronald suddenly asked Leena seriously, "Then... Have you ever considered being our daughter-in-law?"
"What?" This time, not only she, but also Miguel was frightened. She didn't expect that her guess was right. His father came to examine her daughter-in-law, but it was too sudden!
Susan retorted, "It's too early. I haven't seen Leena's parents yet!"
Ronald replied, "Haven't you met Mrs. Yang? It depends on Leena. I think she is a good girl. I like her. If she is willing to be the daughter-in-law of our Song Family, uncle will definitely be partial to you. If Miguel dares to bully you, I will punish him for you. What do you think?"
"Uncle Ronald, it's too sudden. I haven't thought about it. And I should discuss with my mother first, right?"
"Okay, okay. You can ask your mother out for discussing another day."
Miguel stood up and retorted, "Dad, do you have anything to tell me first? Have you asked for my opinion?" His voice was loud. It seemed that he was really angry and didn't care about the etiquette at all.
Ronald said with a cold face, "Sit down. Don't talk to the elders like that. Haven't I told you about it? Your grandmother mentioned it when she was in hospital! You are the one that I love the most. I have been looking forward to your marriage and have a grandson, but you delayed it again and again. You still have contact with Alina. It really pissed us off! Now that you have settled down with Leena, we think she is a good girl, so we can help you carry her. What's wrong? "
Miguel sat down angrily, shook his head and explained, "But you didn't tell me what happened today in advance..."
"Will you bring Leena here if I tell you? I'm your father. I have the right to decide your marriage! " Ronald was completely in a leading position, overbearing and strong without any room for negotiation. Seeing this, Leena was shocked. She didn't expect that such an amiable old man would treat her son so overbearingly.
Miguel pressed his lips tightly, covered his mouth and turned his head aside. It seemed that he didn't want to see his father, but he contradicted, "In the 21st century, you still rely on your parents' orders to arrange the marriage? My marriage can't be married until I agree! "
"Your brother's marriage is decided by me. Look at your brother and sister-in-law. What's wrong with them?"
Miguel turned around and sneered, "So the marriage between brother and sister-in-law is an emotionless marriage. The two of them respect each other as if they are friends and raise a case at the same time. But are they happy? They still don't want a child now!"
"You can choose a good one by yourself? How could a woman like Alina be taken home? Now you fall in love with Leena. Don't you like her? I can see that she is a capable, virtuous and filial girl. I like her very much. Why are you not happy to fulfill your marriage?"
Miguel said sadly and angrily, "That's because you didn't discuss with me!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Susan stopped them loudly, "Well, stop quarreling! You say you would get married here, but Leena doesn't say yes, and we even don't meet her parents. Besides, I might not agree! "
"You will definitely like this daughter-in-law. She is better than Alina!" Ronald said overbearingly.
At last, Leena felt that she couldn't sit still and keep silent. Anyway, this matter also involved her, so she stood up and said respectfully, "Uncle Susan, aunt song, I'm sorry. We made you quarrel and cause you trouble! In terms of marriage... I'd better be more careful. I've only been with him for 4 months. It's too hasty..."
Ronald also stood up and said, "Dear Leena, uncle knows it's too hasty, but his grandmother can't wait any longer. She loves him the most, and the only wish she has been looking forward to for so many years is to see him get married and have his own child. Now that he can't have a child, it's still possible to put the marriage on the agenda, just to let the old man breathe a sigh of relief! You have known Miguel since you were a child, and you know him very well. You have been with him for another 4 months, and there is no such thing as a personality period. Besides, you just liked him, didn't you? Have you ever thought of marrying him? If so, wouldn't it be rash to put the wedding on the agenda today?"
Seeing that Leena was about to refute, Ronald added, "How about I give you one or two days to think about it? But you'd better make a decision in these two days. We also want his grandma to fulfill her last wish and leave at ease!"
