"I'm glad that you finally became part of our family." Wen Lin hugged Lanni tightly when the duo broke the news of their marriage over dinner the following day. They had asked their friends to not say a word of it to the Ji family so they wouldn't ruin the surprise.
Ji Huifen held an envelope to her. "Here's a little token. Welcome to the family, daughter-in-law."
"Thank you." Lanni smiled. Although Ji Huifen said that it was a little token, Lanni would later discover that the content was anything but. It was the ownership papers for a few properties owned by the Ji family, which had now been transferred into her possession—and that was not even part of the hefty dowry that was waiting in store.
Ji Huifen looked happier than usual. Not only was his biological daughter back, but he had a daughter-in-law now. He couldn't help wanting to strike up conversations with Lanni. "When will the two of you have kids?"
