Chapter 980
An Explanation to My Wife
For Dajun and Xiaoxiao, this meal was pure torture.
Neither of them is stupid.
Everyone understands why they changed their minds and wanted to have another child as soon as possible.
It was all because the couple pressured him to get married.
In a short time.
At the dinner table, Dajun lowered his head and never raised it again.
She always felt that if she looked up, she would meet Lu Yang and Gong Ping'an's teasing gaze.
"Xiaoxiao!"
"My silly wife!"
"How could you be so foolish? Such an important matter, and you didn't even discuss it with me beforehand?"
Even though he loved his wife to death, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful at this moment.
Dajun was a rough man.
He has always been straightforward in everything he does.
Previously, my wife Xiaoxiao said that if this baby is a girl, then she should tell Yang Ge'er that she wants to betroth her daughter to him as his daughter-in-law. That way, the two families will be one family, and your daughter will become a wealthy lady like our sister-in-law Mingyue. We should also carefully raise our daughter so that she can be worthy of Yang Ge'er's son, Xiao Lufan. We know each other well, and if it works out, wouldn't that be a wonderful story?
He didn't think much of it.
He readily agreed to his wife's request.
And they actually did it.
In his opinion, his wife was right. She was a family, so why should they talk like family?
If it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't, right?
Just give me a word.
As a result, Lu Yang rejected him in public and told him a bunch of fallacies and heresies, such as that people of the same clan and surname cannot marry, and he listened to them.
It's nothing!
We're all brothers!
It's good that we talked it out!
The only thing that bothered him was that Yang Ge'er rejected him but then went on to ask Gong Ping'an's daughter for marriage.
What's wrong?
Is his daughter really that fragrant?
So, he couldn't help but tease Gong Ping'an in the morning, just to force the other party to fight him. Even if he lost, he could vent the nameless anger in his heart, right?
And that's exactly what happened. They had just finished a fight and were covered in sweat. After returning to the villa, they had just washed their faces and sat down at the table when this unexpected incident occurred.
One woman, two suitors.
Isn't that absurd?
Xiaoxiao's face was also very ugly. She never expected that she had only mentioned it, but her son also wanted to marry this old classmate's daughter... She hoped for fair competition, after all, the children are still young, and who can say what will happen in the future?
Did she say something wrong?
Honestly, she felt she hadn't said anything wrong and had already been very restrained, okay?
But now,
They actually reacted so strongly.
What do you mean?
Do you think I'm after your family fortune?
You two are openly eating, and before you've even finished your meal, you're already discussing having another child. Who are you trying to impress?
No mistake!
But winning is a slap in the face, okay?
"I'm not eating, you guys eat."
Thinking of this, she put down her chopsticks and stood up with a cold face.
She turned around, cradling her bulging belly.
She stood there for a moment, then caught a glimpse of her husband still engrossed in his food out of the corner of her eye. She snorted coldly, "Are you a pig? All you do is eat, eat, eat! Come over here and help me up, you're so stupid."
Upon hearing this, Dajun...
He quickly put down his chopsticks and stood up.
"Honey, slow down."
"Ouch, my stomach! I can't wait any longer, I need to go to the toilet."
"I...I'll carry you there."
"Are you out of your mind? I'm so pregnant, how are you going to carry me? Are you trying to crush your daughter? Is it because nobody else wants her that you're not planning on having her?"
That statement has a hidden meaning!
At the dining table, Yin Mingyue looked at Lu Yang, who shook his head slightly at her.
At this moment, Dajun had already picked up his wife Xiaoxiao in his arms, but before leaving, he gave Lu Yang a look that was both tearful and apologetic.
Lu Yang nodded slightly.
After Dajun carried his wife away, he turned to Gong Ping'an and Wei Shu at the table and said, "Our Chinese culture has a history of five thousand years. Our ancestors were right. If you don't have a biological son, you're more likely to be coveted. The richer you are, the more coveted you become. You two have been working hard outside and haven't been back to your hometown. If you go back, do you think your relatives will try to take your family property? I guarantee they will. So while you can still have children, it's best to have another one."
After listening to Lu Yang's heartfelt words, Wei Shu and Gong Ping'an...
They both nodded.
From the moment Xiaoxiao mentioned at the dinner table that she wanted to help her son marry their daughter Yu'er, the couple had already come to terms with it.
Having a son isn't necessarily a must, but having a second child must be put on the agenda.
Otherwise, she would only have this one daughter.
Whether they keep the child to marry into the family or let her go out to get married, they suddenly feel uncertain and always have a feeling that the family business that they have worked so hard to build over the years will eventually benefit some outsider.
Yes!
It's one thing to not have money.
If you have money, why not have another child?
"Honey, you don't know, but recently the group has a charity event. Invited by the International Childhood Cancer Association and the Red Cross, the group may donate 50 million to provide free assistance and treatment to a group of children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, pediatric brain tumors, and congenital rickets. We hope to save these little lives and their families. I personally went to the hospital and found that many children were perfectly fine when they were young, no different from other healthy children, but suddenly fell ill during their growth. Many of their parents are only children. I really can't imagine how they will get through the future if they lose their child."
On the way back, Wei Shu held her husband's hand, looked at his still youthful face, her eyes filled with tears, and said with some emotion.
She is also a mother.
Like most parents, she deeply loves her child, but what if in the future…
Gong Ping'an silenced her with a kiss.
He held her tightly in his arms. "No, our Yu'er will grow up safely and soundly. Wife, I understand your feelings. Thank you. Let's start trying to conceive when we get back."
"Ah."
Having achieved her goal, Wei Shu embraced her man tightly.
She just showed her true feelings.
But there's a reason why I specifically mentioned the company's recent charity activities. Xiaoxiao is Xiaoxiao; they've been classmates for many years. The other person wasn't like this before. The reason she's become so mercenary and calculating now is probably due to her unsatisfactory life over the years... Compared to her, my life is indeed much more successful. Let her be jealous; it won't hurt me. Anyway, this is just a grudge between classmates, and there's no need to involve others.
Da Jun is Da Jun. They are comrades-in-arms and the boss's right-hand men. They cannot and should not have misunderstandings or distrust each other.
That's why Wei Shu was able to become the chairman of the group. Moreover, Lu Yang has always trusted her a lot over the years. This decision alone surpasses that of many other workplace elites!
Meanwhile, the Lu Family Manor.
They saw the two couples off.
Lu Yang was leisurely lying on the sofa in the living room, constantly changing channels with the remote control in his hand. His son, Xiao Lu Fan, would come up to him every now and then, grab his arm, and try to snatch the TV remote control with his little arm, but he always missed by a little bit, making him cry loudly in frustration.
If it weren't for a father's love being as solid as a mountain.
Lu Yang had always played the role of a strict father in front of him.
He really knows how to cry in front of Lu Yang.
However, the little guy is quite clever. Seeing that his father, Lu Yang, refused to give him the remote control and he couldn't get it, he turned around and went to his grandparents and maternal grandparents to complain.
"Bad dad, you wait."
What a coincidence.
Yin Mingyue overheard this.
She had just brought out two fruit platters from the kitchen when she saw her precious son run upstairs like a gust of wind past her. Downstairs on the sofa, Lu Yang was sitting like an old man, legs crossed, holding the TV remote and idly changing channels.
Suddenly I understood what had just happened.
So I went over there.
Put down the fruit platter you're holding first.
He carefully inserted two pieces of apple into a toothpick and handed them to Lu Yang, feeding them into his mouth. After Lu Yang took both pieces of apple and swallowed them, he was ready to eat them.
Then she whispered, "You're such a grown man, why are you acting like a child? You even snatch the remote from your own son!"
Her voice was very gentle.
Lu Yang chuckled, "What's wrong? Can't I be in charge of this family? He can watch TV, but I can't?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Mingyue almost burst into tears.
She said, both amused and annoyed, "Can you speak seriously? Let me tell you, our son went upstairs to complain."
What?
Lu Yang quickly put his crossed legs down.
No, those three old people upstairs will definitely scold him when they come down.
Thinking of this, he threw the remote control in his hand away.
"I'm not watching anymore."
"I'm going upstairs to play my Legend game."
Just then, Yin Mingyue tugged at his hand again.
"Don't rush, I have something to ask you."
Lu Yang was taken aback for a moment, then looked at her strangely and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Yin Mingyue hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "It's still about that arranged marriage. Didn't we agree that Xiao Fan would marry Wei Shu and Ping An's daughter, Xiao Yu? Now you've persuaded them to have a second child, and they've agreed. So... does this marriage still count?"
Lu Yang thought she was going to say something.
Oh, so that's what it is.
Without even thinking, he waved his hand and said, "It counts, of course it counts! My family is rich and powerful. If we want our son to marry their daughter, it's not for the money. The little bit of wealth they've accumulated was originally given to them by me. What more could I possibly want from them? And it has nothing to do with whether they want a second child or not. Honey, don't you agree?"
Lu Yang had one more thing he didn't say.
Because it was I who proposed that we become in-laws with Sister Wei Shu and Brother Ping An, so that the couple could feel at ease having a son.
If we were to say now that this matter is settled, the couple, especially Sister Wei Shu who is so devoted to her career, would have to think twice. What if they suddenly back out?
Wouldn't that harm my brother Ping An?
Yin Mingyue didn't think as much as Lu Yang did, but she was still very happy.
She couldn't resist standing on tiptoe and kissing Lu Yang on the cheek.
"Honey, you're so good to me."
Lu Yang was clearly stunned. It was broad daylight, and the three elderly people upstairs could come down at any moment. When did his wife become so bold?
who cares.
I can't figure it out, and I don't want to think about it!
Just do it.
Lu Yang laughed heartily, picked up his wife around the waist, and as they walked, he brought his mouth close to her burning red earlobe and whispered, "Honey, you're only just realizing how good I am? Don't worry, I have even better ones here. Now come upstairs with me, and soon... I'll show you a big treasure."
Yin Mingyue blushed.
While nervously peeking upstairs from his arms, she punched his chest with her little fists, saying, "Put me down. Your parents and my mom might come over at any time. If they see us like this in broad daylight, I... I don't want to be a human being anymore!"
She covered her face with her hands.
Lu Yang didn't feel any pain at all when he was hit.
But her hand hurt a little.
Lu Yang teased her, "Wife, why are you covering your eyes? Trying to bury your head in the sand? Don't worry, Mom and Dad haven't come down yet, and your mom won't be down anytime soon. Once our son finishes complaining about me, we'll be inside. We'll lock the door from the inside, and no one will be able to come in and disturb us."
Time passed...
Soon, the morning was over, and it was almost noon.
After being tossed around by Lu Yang for nearly two hours, Yin Mingyue rested for more than an hour and regained some energy. She lifted the covers and was about to get dressed and get out of bed.
Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to a document neatly placed on the bedside table.
This is an equity transfer agreement.
She picked it up and couldn't help but read it line by line. As she read, her nose suddenly stung, and tears welled up in her eyes. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer, and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
It was clearly written in black and white on the paper that this was incredibly good news for her and her two children.
She still couldn't help but want to cry.
It turns out that Lu Yang got up this morning while she was still fast asleep to take care of a major life event.
He called in the company's legal counsel.
The legal department drafted this equity transfer agreement.
In the agreement, he divided his Century Group shares in two, with 65% still held by himself and the remaining 35% divided equally: 15% to his son Lu Fan, 10% to his daughter Lu Xin'er, and 10% to his wife Yin Mingyue. Since both children are minors, the remaining shares will be held on his behalf by his wife Yin Mingyue.
This is not an impulse.
Rather, it was a decision Lu Yang made after careful consideration, and also a way of expressing his gratitude and resolving his issues to his wife. (End of Chapter)
