Chapter 963
Make her beg me personally
"Miss Yin, are you going to refuse a toast only to be punished? The marriage between our two families is in the best interests of both sides, and I have already expressed my sincerity. Your mother has also accepted my birthday gift. Do you want to go back on your word now?"
"Wait,"
"What the hell?"
"All you did was send a cheap birthday present, and it wasn't even given to Miss Yin herself. You think you can force her to marry you? Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
"Who do you think you are? Do you know how much the gift I just gave to your aunt is worth? It was part of the dowry of a princess from a previous dynasty, priceless. I spent a full 300 million to buy it when I went to Hong Kong on a business trip last month. Now I'm giving it to your aunt as a birthday gift. Isn't that enough to show my sincerity?"
"But...but you didn't ask your aunt if this thing was your betrothal gift, and you didn't get Miss Yin's consent beforehand either."
"That's right, it's just a gift worth a mere 300 million. Even if such a good thing really exists, I'll still offer 300 million, no, I'll offer 350 million. As long as Miss Yin agrees, I'll go and arrange it as soon as I leave the house."
"Who are you? Do you know who my father is?"
"How dare you! This is a peaceful society. I don't care who your father is. I am a PhD who returned from overseas and currently work for a foreign company. I am a talent that your local officials should treat with great hospitality."
"Get lost... This is none of your business."
"You little bastard, you dare to touch me?"
"Let's give it a try..."
"Stop fighting, go outside if you want to fight. Mom, bring back the necklace that Young Master Zhou just gave you and give it back to him. Don't accept gifts from just anyone anymore..."
"Well, alright, I'll return it."
Amidst a chaotic and disorderly situation.
As Lu Yang walked forward, he tried to discern the messages conveyed in the sounds of the argument.
Finally, he stopped two meters away.
Meanwhile, Yin Mingyue, holding her son and daughter's hands, retreated from the crowd.
She came to Lu Yang's side.
She whispered, "Honey, they're all suitors of my sisters. One of them, trying to show off his wealth, gave Mom an antique necklace worth over 300 million yuan. Mom loved it, and he took the opportunity to propose to one of my sisters, but she rejected him. He got angry and started spouting nonsense. Then, some of my sisters' other suitors couldn't stand him and started arguing with him. It was a fierce argument, and now they've even started fighting."
Lu Yang heard the words "marriage proposal".
His pupils contracted.
He subconsciously exuded a hint of murderous intent.
But when she heard the word "refusal" again, she frowned and said quietly, "What a show. Since it has nothing to do with you, let's go. Leave this to your mother and sister. They made this mess of their own business, so they can deal with it themselves."
talking.
He put his arm around his wife's shoulder and was about to turn and leave.
Yin Mingyue also subconsciously turned her head and turned around, but then said with some worry, "Honey, there's one of the guys who was shouting the loudest just now. He's the cousin of a director in the local Economic and Trade Commission office. I heard his father is also a local bureaucrat, not someone to mess with. What if he gets involved and it affects the company..."
Although Century Group is based in Shenzhen.
However, the Century Group is a sprawling conglomerate with numerous branches, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, and joint ventures, with countless businesses spread across the country.
Shanghai is one of the few international metropolises in China, and it is no exception.
It's not surprising that Yin Mingyue is worried about this; after all, since ancient times, the common people have never fought against the officials.
just,
She hadn't finished speaking.
Lu Yang squeezed her hand.
He said nonchalantly, "It's just a local Brahmin village, nothing to fear. Don't worry, wife, I'm here. Nothing will happen."
Shanghai is indeed an international metropolis.
The local Brahmins living in this big city.
Naturally, this is no small matter either.
It wasn't as easy as Lu Yang made it out to be.
However, a county-level Brahmin is still a county-level Brahmin. Even if the word "county" is in quotation marks, it is ultimately just a small regional family. It is still far from being able to influence large enterprises across the country.
But it's that woman, Yin Mingzhu.
interesting.
She doesn't even care about the second-generation elites of the local Brahmin family, and she's not afraid of them making things difficult for her. She's so blatant in rejecting them in front of all the guests. If this company opens in Shanghai, it's likely to cause a lot of trouble in the future.
"Never mind."
"Let's help her."
Lu Yang took his wife's hand and the child, and settled down in the corner again.
Take out your phone.
Without making a sound, he sent a message to his secretary, Lu Nini.
"Nini, go find your sister Wei Shu and tell her what's going on..."
"Brother Lu Yang, is there anything else you need?"
"That's all. I don't object to your sister Mingzhu getting married if she wants to. But if anyone tries to force her to comply through unscrupulous means, I'm a kind-hearted person and can't stand seeing anyone force a woman, you know? So don't overthink it. I still treat her the same as before, I have no other intentions. In the future, I still won't give her any resources for her company, unless some scumbag tries to bully her. By the way, don't tell your sister-in-law Mingyue."
Put your phone under the table.
Lu Yang lowered his head.
It took four or five messages to finally explain the whole story.
He also reiterated that he had absolutely no intention of tolerating or condoning the evil of Yin Mingzhu, and that he would hold grudges and grievances against past wrongs...
To avoid any misunderstanding.
Lu Yang still remembers that his little cousin, Lu Nini, used to be that wicked woman Yin Mingzhu's little follower, and had always admired that wicked woman to no end.
If I don't explain myself properly, what if this girl misunderstands and then relays those misunderstandings to that wicked woman's ears? Who knows what that wicked woman will think? What if she really thinks that her feelings for me have changed and comes to my house? Wouldn't my wife be heartbroken?
"Honey, what are you doing?"
Seeing that Lu Yang was looking down at his phone, Yin Mingyue curiously leaned closer.
Lu Yang quickly turned off his phone screen.
He put his phone in his pocket. "It's nothing, just browsing the news. The newly launched Mobile Internet service lets you access the internet on your phone now. You can try it out when you have time. It's much more convenient and faster than before when you could only browse the news on your computer."
Yin Mingyue said with a smile, "Wow, husband, you know so much. I'll have to try it later."
The launch of Mobile Dream Network is a major event in China. Almost every slightly younger mobile phone user knows about it and is unlikely to not subscribe to the service.
Didn't Yin Mingyue understand before?
She understands!
Since her husband likes to give advice, she'll just have to play along.
Although she used to be kind-hearted, she couldn't act at all. Sometimes, the words she said were well-intentioned, but they were like knives that stabbed people in the face. Now she's different. She never misses a performance when she's supposed to.
Since Brother Lu Yang hopes that she will always be a simple and kind woman.
She has to play this role well.
"You don't even know how to use a mobile phone to access the internet. Come on, I'll teach you."
Lu Yang smiled.
As he spoke, he seriously made his wife take out her phone.
I'm just idling around anyway. The future will be a society with highly developed electronic information technology; how boring would life be if I couldn't even surf the internet?
No.
I still need to get my wife used to it as soon as possible.
Yin Mingyue was deeply moved and immediately took out her new Motorola V8088, a classic slim flip phone with an LED seven-color running light on the external screen, from her bag.
She said happily, "Honey, can you quickly teach me how to connect this phone to the internet?"
Lu Yang took her phone and began to teach her seriously, "First, you need to activate the WAP data roaming function. Manually open your browser, enter the address 163, plus the webpage you want to visit, that's it. See, it's working now. We are now logging into Sohu's portal website to see what domestic and international news there is."
Yin Mingyue's eyes remained fixed on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Wow! Husband, you're amazing! You were so fast!"
"of course."
Lu Yang said smugly.
Then he remembered and handed the phone to her again, saying, "Here, try it yourself."
While this young couple was figuring out how to use their mobile phones to access the internet and browse international and domestic news...
Their two children.
Lu Xin'er is only 10 years old this year, and Lu Fan is less than 5 years old.
at this time……
The two siblings were like weasels who had stolen chickens.
He was trying not to laugh.
"Sister, Dad is so stupid, he was fooled by Mom."
Lu Fan said in a low voice.
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let Dad hear you."
Lu Xin'er warned him, "Also, if you dare to snitch, I'll slap your butt."
As she spoke, the older sister raised her hand as if to slap someone.
Startled, Lu Fan, the younger brother, shrank back.
She quickly waved her little hand and said, "Okay, sister, I promise I won't tell."
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Lu Xin'er said smugly, "You little flatterer, come to my room later, I'll use my phone to go online and tell you some short stories."
"Yay! I want to hear the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."
Lu Fan cheered.
Then, seemingly realizing that his voice was too loud, he quickly covered his mouth and nose with both hands.
Look at this.
It made Lu Xin'er, the older sister, almost burst out laughing.
The birthday banquet continued.
However, it was affected by the arguing sounds coming from the stage earlier.
The guests who attended were not very enthusiastic.
Someone is afraid.
Following this birthday banquet, changes will occur in Yin Mingzhu's Mingzhu Media.
Some people are secretly pleased with themselves.
If Mingzhu Media really undergoes changes, can I, or the forces behind me, intervene and gain some advantage from it?
Some are observing and scrutinizing the relationship between Century Group and Pearl Media. Do their bosses harbor grudges or resentment? Will the young chairman behind Century Group truly stand by and watch his sister-in-law be bullied? Will he stand by and watch Pearl Media be driven bankrupt? Or...?
Anyway!!!
After this banquet, the relationship between Lu Yang and Yin Mingzhu was officially exposed.
One is the wife's twin sister-in-law, and the other is the husband of her twin sister—they're brothers-in-law. Even if some of the unreliable rumors are true—like the current sister-in-law being the former fiancée, or the current wife being the former sister-in-law who remarried in place of her—what difference does it make?
Whether the rumors are true or false is not important.
The truth is that they are indeed relatives, and that Mrs. Lu and Miss Yin, the two sisters, still have their biological mother alive.
So who would dare to gamble? If one party is bullied and humiliated, will the other party stand idly by?
Based on the above analysis, logically speaking, most intelligent people would choose to wait and see.
but,
How should I put it?
This world is essentially a large, makeshift operation.
Some people, once they have power and money, don't even consider these things. They think they're the most important person in the world, and that they're third in line. They wield petty tricks like swords, bullying others because of their connections. As for the outcome...
If you walk alone at night too often, you're bound to run into Zhong Kui.
Kids like them.
Sooner or later, he'll be caught by Zhong Kui, the ghost hunter, and crushed to death.
One week later.
Lu Yang returned to Pengcheng with his wife, children, and his mother-in-law, who had also boarded the plane with him.
They didn't even have time to let his wife settle his mother-in-law's affairs.
Then I received a call from my cousin, Lu Nini.
"Brother, come to the company quickly, something has happened."
Forgot that you should refer to plants in formal settings, Lu Nini quickly said on the phone: "Sister Wei Shu warned that Zhou kid's family as you instructed, but they don't take you seriously at all. You should come to the company as soon as possible."
Don't you respect me?
Lu Yang's eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of killing intent. "Alright, I'll be right there."
hang up the phone.
He quickly put the coat he had just taken off back on.
Lu Yang pinched his son Lu Fan's cheek.
"Tell your mom that Dad has something to do and needs to go to the company. He'll be back soon. Tell her to make sure Grandma is settled in as soon as possible. Tonight, our whole family will go out for a big meal together."
Although I don't like this teacher's wife.
But no matter what, she is still my mother-in-law, so a welcoming meal is still necessary.
Just as Lu Yang stepped out of the villa gate...
Ma Xiulan, who was holding her daughter's hand and talking quietly, looked up and saw Lu Yang, and hurriedly walked over.
“Good son-in-law, wait a minute. Your eldest sister is in trouble. This time, Mom is begging you. She said you have to help her, otherwise… otherwise… sob sob sob, she will have to marry that little beast… You must help her.”
His mother-in-law held his hand, preventing him from leaving.
Lu Yang's face darkened.
My initial anxiety suddenly vanished.
Furthermore, even the urge to rush to the company and chop off the head of that guy who dared to offend him was gone.
Right!
Why should I be in such a hurry about that woman's matter? She hasn't even come to beg me herself yet! (End of Chapter)
