19 Family reunion

The long rectangular table could accommodate all the members of the family.

By the time Xu Chenyu reached, almost all the people who were at home had already arrived at the dining table. A few seats were empty.

At the head of the table, Bai Ruoxi and Qin Shijin sat next to each other. Those seats were reserved for the head of the family.

Qin Shijin was the head of the family by hierarchy. But still, discissions regarding the family were only taken after consulting Bai Ruoxi.

Bai Junwei sat to the left of his mom slowly munching his food.

Opposite Bai Ruoxi, Shen Yiren sat eating her food while mumbling something under her breath.

Xu Chenyu sat down next to Shen Yiren. He could see dark circles beneath her eyes. She looked really tired. he didn't need to ask her for a reason as he knew her workaholic nature.

"Now that everyone has arrived. We have a few announcements to make.", Qin Shijin's voice attracted the attention of everyone.

"First, Qin Shixuan and Ding Ming are going to be parents." Just as Qin Shijin finished his sentence Bai Ruoxi stomped on his food.

"Is this how you announce such good news?"Bai Ruoxi couldn't help but ask the unemotional Qin Shijin sitting next to her. then she continued "as Ding Ming is pregnant, they have decided to hold the wedding ceremony by the end of this month. "

"Wedding ceremony?", The people around the table were shocked.

It wasn't a secret that Ding Ming, who has been Qin Shixuan's girlfriend for over one and a half-decade absolutely detested marriage due to her parents' failed relationship. She had insisted on being in a live-in relationship rather than being married.

Now, this sudden change of mind shocked everyone.

"They finally decided to get married!", Qin Lina was rather excited by the news.

Bai Ruoxi nodded with a smile. Little Junjun was also excited by the news of having a little brother or sister.

"They will arrive on the evening flight today. Ding Ming will move over to our home from today. So help her make herself at home." The announcement was followed by loud cheers.

"Also, next week, the anniversary of the GP Group. Qin Shixuan and Ding Ming will hold their engagement on that day. Xu Chenyu you will be in charge of arranging the whole event, both the anniversary function and the engagement ceremony. " Bai Ruoxi continued without giving him a chance to object.

Xu Chenyu knew that Bai Ruoxi was assigning him the task to get him busy and to avoid thinking about his ex-girlfriend. He didn't know if he should be happy or sad at this point.

"Qin Zijin, on the day before the anniversary, we have decided to hold a family reunion dinner. Also, we would visit your ancestral home to pray for the blessings of your ancestors. Inform everyone to be her that day without fail. Also, call Qin Lan and ask her to prepare a gown for Ding Ming for the engagement. "

The ancestral home Bai Ruoxi was talking about was the mansion that was burned to ashes years ago. She had retrieved it within a year of the establishment of the GP Group.

"Qin Lina, don't forget to tell Wang Lei[1] and the kids. they must also be here." Bai Ruoxi didn't forget to invite Qin Lina's husband and her adorable pair of daughters to attend the function.

Bai Ruoxi split the responsibility of arranging everything for the family reunion.

After breakfast, everyone except Shen Yiren left the table one by one. she sat on her seat glaring at the duo sitting opposite her.

Qin Shijin felt the piercing glare directed at him from his sister. He tactfully left for work leaving Bai Ruoxi to deal with Shen Yiren.
