RT Chapter 20
by VolareLooking at the building before them, comparable to a palace, the Shu family of three were speechless for a moment.
Small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and towers filled the courtyard, exuding classical elegance everywhere.
The three of them exchanged glances, the same two words written in their eyes.
Luxury.
They knew the Shao family was rich, but knowing it was one thing, and seeing the tangible manifestation of it was another.
They couldn’t help but be shocked.
Shu Jingcheng felt worry instead of joy.
What kind of family was his Omega son marrying into? Could he handle it?
Inside the main hall of the Anju villa, thirty or forty people had gathered.
As soon as Shu Lin entered, the gazes of everyone in the Shao family fell on him.
Although they had already heard of the beauty of this US-Class Omega, they couldn’t help but marvel when they saw him in person.
Shu Lin stood there, like a beautiful painting.
The outfit chosen for him by Butler Chen was both dignified and perfectly highlighted his temperament.
A well-tailored white haute couture suit set off his already fair skin, making it even more crystal clear.
The soft and smooth fabric of the suit outlined his slender waist and long legs.
The collar of his shirt was slightly open, revealing a section of fair neck, and a delicate collarbone was faintly visible.
Shu Lin’s eyes were large and bright, the corners of his eyes slightly upturned, his nose was high and straight, and his lips were red and moist, as if coated with a light layer of lip gloss.
His skin was so delicate that you could hardly see any pores, and it shone with a pearl-like luster under the light.
Several of the Shao family elders focused their gaze on Shu Lin, exchanging meaningful glances with each other.
Shao Chengxi’s great-aunt, Shao Yuqin, said in a low voice to her Alpha husband beside her:
“This child is indeed good-looking, with an outstanding temperament. No wonder Chengxi would take a fancy to him.”
Her husband reluctantly nodded, with a hint of pickiness:
“Good-looking is good-looking, but beauty alone is not enough. The Shao family’s Omega cannot just be a pretty face.”
Shao Yuqin chuckled, her words carrying a bit of dismissiveness:
“What are you saying? He is a US-Class Omega, and that alone is enough to crush other wealthy family Omegas. Chengxi has always had high standards, and he certainly wouldn’t take a liking to someone simple.”
Other dissenting voices also sounded one after another.
“Do you think he’s really a US-Class Omega? He looks too young, I think he’s even younger than us.”
“It should be true, otherwise Chengxi wouldn’t be in such a hurry to marry him. A US-Class Omega, that’s one in a million. We probably won’t have that kind of luck in this lifetime.”
“Chengxi is really lucky to have found such a beautiful Omega. However, can a young and delicate Omega bear the burden of our Shao family?”
“Are you jealous? He’s a US-Class Omega, your sour grapes are useless.”
“It’s not that I’m jealous, I just feel a little regretful. Why did this US-Class Omega have to be snatched up by Chengxi? He’s so busy all day, where does he have time to pamper an Omega?”
“That’s what you call fate.”
Shu Lin was surrounded by the gazes of the crowd and felt really uncomfortable.
Finally, after everyone was seated, their eyes turned from him to Shao Tingrui, who was sitting in the main seat, waiting for him to speak.
Shao Tingrui glanced at Shao Bingheng, who was sitting to his lower left, signaling him to begin.
Shao Bingheng stood up, surveyed the crowd, and smiled.
“We have gathered here today to announce something.”
He looked at the opposite diagonal, “Chengxi and Shu Lin have registered their marriage. Today, our Shao family is officially presenting betrothal gifts to the Shu family. Butler.”
Then, the chief butler of the Shao Residence led people in, carrying several large boxes.
As the boxes were opened, the crowd revealed varying degrees of surprise.
Shao Yuqin exclaimed, “Brother, you’re actually willing to give this set of jade jewelry to Shu Lin. It seems you’re very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.”
This was a treasure passed down from the Shao family ancestors, each piece a unique masterpiece, priceless.
Shao Tingrui hadn’t even given it to the Omega mother of Shao Bingheng and his brothers when Shao Bingheng got married.
You should know, the Omega Shao Bingheng was married to was the famous Miss Gu from the Gu family, whose status was much higher than this commoner Omega.
It’s a pity that Miss Gu passed away early, so she can’t see this scene now.
Hearing Shao Yuqin’s words, Shao Tingrui smiled:
“Treasures also pay attention to fate. Among this set of jade jewelry, there are a pair of imperial jade rings for couples, which Chengxi and Shu Lin can wear. It shows that they are destined for this treasure. We will take advantage of this rare good fortune to give it to them and create a beautiful story.”
Saying that, he looked towards Shao Chengxi, “Chengxi, bring your Omega over here.”
Shao Chengxi understood and took Shu Lin’s hand, walking to Shao Tingrui’s front.
In front of everyone, the two exchanged rings, and they really fit perfectly.
Especially Shu Lin’s Kun pattern ring, it was as if it was specially made for him.
His fingers were slender, his knuckles were distinct, and they were as white as porcelain, setting off the jade ring like a bright star.
It was such a good match, simply perfect.
In this way, everyone had nothing to say.
In addition to this set of jewelry, there was also a pair of century-old gold-inlaid jade ruyi scepters, symbolizing good luck and happiness.
Of course, various properties, famous watches, antiques, and luxury cars were a given.
In addition, the Shao family members who attended all gave Shu Lin gifts.
Countless.
Whispers filled the hall, everyone’s expressions different.
Shu Lin looked on in stunned silence, anxiously looking towards Shu Jingcheng.
Shu Jingcheng’s heart was also not calm, feeling Shu Lin’s gaze, he turned his head and lightly patted his hand, giving him a reassuring look.
“In-laws,” Shao Bingheng said with a smile, “Are you satisfied with these betrothal gifts?”
Shu Jingcheng nodded and smiled: “Although they are too precious, coming from the Shao family, everything is within reason. I sincerely thank the in-laws for their generosity and importance.”
Saying this, he especially looked at Shu Lin, paused for two seconds, “Although my son is young, he can also afford this love. I will accept it on behalf of my son.”
Shu Lingxiao secretly gave her father a thumbs up for his composure.
In her opinion, sending these luxury goods was not based on the needs of their Shu family, but largely based on the needs of the Shao family’s prestige.
However, they couldn’t take advantage and act ungrateful.
After all, these things now belonged to Shu Lin, so the polite words of thanks still had to be said clearly.
Hearing Shu Jingcheng’s words, Shao Tingrui chuckled: “Yes, Chengxi chose a good Omega, he deserves it.”
Just then, a strange voice sounded: “Grandpa, you’re too partial, aren’t you?”
