Chapter 128 Son-in-law Arrives
Lu Bingchen tightened his grip on the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator.
It was five in the morning when Lu Bingchen returned to the apartment.
I gently pushed open the bedroom door, and with the dim light coming in from the cloakroom, I could vaguely see the outline of Xie Yiyi sleeping soundly on the bed.
Lu Bingchen stood at the door for a while before turning back to the cloakroom and taking off his clothes with difficulty.
Mother Lu's whip almost completely hit his sides, leaving his arms and thighs bruised and purple, with several places where his skin was torn through his clothes.
Lu Bingchen faced the mirror, applied medicine to himself with a cotton swab, and put on a bandage.
After finishing, he put on a set of long pajamas and walked towards the bedroom.
The wounds were all on the outside, and lying on his side would press on the wounds. After lying flat for a while, he gently turned sideways and hugged the sleeping Xie Yiyi in his arms. He lowered his chin lightly to touch the top of her head, and the fragrance of roses penetrated his breath. Lu Bingchen felt very at ease, as if his lonely heart had found a warm nest.
After a while, the man fell into a deep sleep.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sky gradually brightened.
Su Yuan got up early today and drew her eyebrows in front of the mirror.
She faintly heard the sound of a car last night and guessed that it must be Lu Bingchen returning.
After changing into a light-colored knitted long skirt and going downstairs, Su Yuan saw the gift box on the coffee table at a glance.
"Happy New Year, Madam!"
"Uncle Xiang, Happy New Year." Su Yuan smiled. "Is this gift from Bingchen?"
Housekeeper: "Yes, Madam."
Su Yuan showed a faint smile and bent down to open the gift box. It was a ladies' diamond watch that Rolex had recently released at the end of last year. Su Yuan put it on her hand and thought it was very beautiful.
"What time did Bingchen come back last night? Did he...did he come back alone, or with Xie Yiyi?"
When Lu Bingchen came back, although the housekeeper had returned to his room, the room on the first floor was not as soundproof as the second floor, and the quarrel between the second young master and his wife could still be heard clearly.
The housekeeper sighed, "He didn't come back until around three o'clock last night."
"So late?"
"Yes, the second young master came back alone, and Madam had been waiting for him in the living room. But when he came back, he actually asked for a division of the family property. Madam was so angry that she had a big argument with him, and after the argument, the second young master drove away again."
The smile on Su Yuan's face froze and her heart sank.
Lu Bingchen wants to split the family?
To thank Yiyi?
The housekeeper said, "Madam, a harmonious family is the foundation of everything. The Second Young Master respects you the most and listens to you. You should persuade him more when you have time."
Su Yuan lowered her eyes and looked at the watch on her wrist. "Uncle Xiang, I understand. I will."

Lu Bingchen Apartment.
Thank you Yiyi for a good night's sleep.
It was not until noon that she was woken up by the crackling sound of children setting off firecrackers downstairs in the apartment building.
When I opened my eyes, there was still the ambiguity left over from last night in them.
I propped myself up and slowly sat up, and my brain instantly received the soreness and weakness from my lower back and thighs.
Xie Yiyi's cheeks felt hot, and the temperature beside her was gone. She didn't know when Lu Bingchen got up, nor did she know where he went.
She put on her nightgown, stood up, opened the curtains, and rubbed her lower back.
Outside the window was the dazzling white of ice and snow. Downstairs, on the snow, a group of children were playing with firecrackers in groups of three or five.
While massaging her waist, Xie Yiyi felt some weight on her wrist, and then she noticed that there was a butterfly diamond bracelet on her fair wrist, and a butterfly diamond platinum ring of the same style on her middle finger, and the butterfly pattern was lifelike.
Xie Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.
This is the "Butterfly Starry Sky" series, which was hotly pre-sold by G at the end of last year and sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves.
There was a piece of jewelry that she really liked, but unfortunately she was too slow to get it.
Is this the New Year's gift from Lu Bingchen to her?
How did Lu Bingchen know that she liked this and actually bought it!
The corners of Xie Yiyi's mouth curled up slightly. She had to admit that Lu Bingchen's gift went straight to her heart.
An idea suddenly popped up in Xie Yiyi's mind that it seemed pretty good to have such a "husband".
The aesthetics are good and the technology is also very good.
He was also the first man she had a crush on when she first fell in love.
If Lu Bingchen didn't have that biased mother who was so partial to her that she was on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and his ex-girlfriend's sister-in-law who was madly trying to make her presence felt in front of her, Xie Yiyi really wanted to continue like this with Lu Bingchen, and spend the next New Year's Eve together, and the next New Year's Eve after that...
But with these two huge mountains in front of her, Xie Yiyi stared at the butterfly diamond necklace on her wrist and the butterfly ring on her fingertips, her eyes gradually becoming confused, and she was unsure how long she could be with Lu Bingchen.
When they break up, will Lu Bingchen take back the gift he gave her?
"woke up?"
While I was daydreaming, a gentle and pleasant voice suddenly came from behind me.
Xie Yiyi subconsciously looked back.
The first thing she saw was Lu Bingchen's tall and straight figure, wearing a lazy gray home suit, long sleeves and long pants, walking towards her from the bedroom door.
At the second glance, Xie Yiyi's eyes were focused on Lu Bingchen's handsome face that met her aesthetic standards.
Thick eyebrows, deep eyes, a straight nose, and lips that were curled up in a smile and rosy red.
Xie Yiyi swallowed, and met his deep and gentle black eyes with a slightly infatuated look. In a flash, her mind flashed back to the scene in which the man's gentle and lustful black eyes were staring at her in the dim light, and the mere opening of his mouth made her whole body spasm and tremble.
Just now, a thought of giving up came to my mind, "Forget it, one day at a time. If I can't stand it anymore, then break up. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere..." and then it disappeared in an instant.
Xie Yiyi's heartbeat was disordered.
Ahhh, it's different.
Lu Bingchen is different from other men.
Lu Bingchen walked towards Xie Yiyi and saw her fair cheeks turning red visibly. The familiar shyness appeared in her eyes, and his heart softened.
An idea came to my mind to tease her.
Lu Bingchen stopped in front of her, holding the glass window behind her with one hand. The cold temperature of the window passed into his palm. He bent down and lowered his head, moving closer to her little face.
Xie Yiyi saw his actions and raised her chin cooperatively.
When people do bad things, they always can't help but laugh in advance.
Lu Bingcheng chuckled, "Happy New Year, Yibaoer~"
A gentle voice with a smile reached her eardrums, but the expected kiss did not fall on her lips. Xie Yiyi's eyelashes trembled, and she looked at Lu Bingchen's black eyes full of playful smile, and she became angry and embarrassed, and her cheeks turned red.
Lu Bingchen: "Hey, you can't get angry on the first day of the new year, otherwise you will be angry all year long."
Xie Yiyi laughed out loud, "Hahaha," and pushed him away. "Who said I was angry? I'm so happy."
Lu Bingchen curled his lips and held her fair little hand, "Because of the New Year's gift I gave you?"
Xie Yiyi looked at the beautiful necklace on her wrist and the dancing diamond butterfly on her fingertips, and her mood instantly improved. She said honestly, "You really have good taste. I like it. The pre-sale quantity is so small, how did you buy it?"
Lu Bingchen played with his little hands, "Of course it depends on connections."
“Can you introduce this person to me?”
Lu Bingchen raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it enough for you to have my connections?"
"Stingy..."
Xie Yiyi complained quietly.
Not only did he not give her the recipe for the hot pot dipping sauce, he even refused to share it with his purchasing agent contact.
Xie Yiyi wanted to pull her hand away and go to the bathroom to wash up.
Lu Bingchen stopped her, his thick eyebrows raised slightly, "Then where is my New Year's gift?"
"this……"
Xie Yiyi was stuck for a moment.
She actually prepared it, but it ended up in the bedroom of Lu Bingchen of the Lu family.
I originally thought that I would spend last year’s New Year’s Eve at Lu’s house, and I planned to give him another gift at the beginning of the new year, also a men’s diamond bracelet from G’s house.
She didn’t get the women’s “Butterfly and Starry Sky” series, but she did get the classic men’s “Galaxy Light” series.
Seeing this, Lu Bingchen's dark eyes dimmed a little, "Not prepared?"
"I……"
"Then I'll have one for myself."
Lu Bingchen said, pulling her closer by her wrist and kissing her lips precisely.
Lu Bingchen closed his eyes.
If there is an old saying that "what you do on the first day of the New Year determines how the whole year will be", then he kissed Xie Yiyi passionately today, hoping that in this year, the person in front of him will always be by his side and never leave him.
…
Xie Yiyi was pressed against the wall next to the window and was kissed until she couldn't breathe.
Lu Bingchen also let her go, panting. If it weren't for the stinging whip marks on his body and he didn't want her to see those shocking marks, according to Lu Bingchen's temperament, the two of them would have returned to bed long ago.
Xie Yiyi was also a little surprised. Why didn't he continue?
Lu Bingchen's Adam's apple rolled as he chuckled, "I'm going to my father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings this afternoon. It would be impolite to go late. Go wash up. Lunch is ready. After eating, I'll go back to my parents' home with you."
Xie Yiyi just then remembered this matter.
I'm going back to my parents' house in the afternoon!
Originally, Xie Peifeng planned not to return to China for the New Year this year, but Xie Peizhou was injured and hospitalized, and family relationships needed to be taken care of, so Xie Peifeng came back.
When a new son-in-law comes to your home for the first year, it is natural to be solemn.
We had takeout for lunch.
Xie Yiyi came out of the shower and saw the takeout box from XX Restaurant on the dining table. She looked surprised and asked, "Didn't you say last night that you would make me spicy chicken and beef for lunch today?"
Lu Bingchen handed her the chopsticks and made an excuse, "I'm a little tired today, I'll make it for you another day."
Xie Yiyi took the chopsticks and sat down opposite him. Looking at the table, which was mostly filled with her favorite dishes, she deliberately picked up a piece of fried leek and egg and placed it on Lu Bingchen's rice. "Uncle Lu, you still have to take care of your health. Eat more leeks to replenish your body. If you have kidney failure, don't blame me~"
Lu Bingchen curled his lips and said with a smile: "Wife, don't you know best whether your husband is wronged or not? Who cried so hard last night that his calves cramped..."
Xie Yiyi's face flushed, and she directly picked up a piece of chives and eggs with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, "Eat!"
Lu Bingchen swallowed slowly, "Don't worry, your husband will make you happy."
Xie Yiyi: “…”
-
After dinner, the couple set off for Xie's house.
Xie Yiyi looked at Lu Bingchen carrying bags of gifts. Although the man spoke toughly, she could still see his physical "fatigue" as she followed him.
In fact, this is normal. The energy consumed by the two last night is similar to climbing a mountain, and most of the strength was provided by Lu Bingchen.
When Lu Bingchen was about to get in the driver's seat, Xie Yiyi took the car keys from his hand and said, "Let me drive. You take a rest."
There was gentle concern in the woman's eyes.
Lu Bingchen smiled, his heart softened, and for a moment the whip marks on his body didn't sting as much.
Lu Bingchen walked around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat.
The car drove into the old house of the Xie family to welcome the new son-in-law. The Xie family set off cannons and firecrackers, making it very lively.
Lu Bingchen was flattered by the grand occasion.
Xie Peifeng and Shen You were waiting at the door early.
"Happy New Year, Mom and Dad!"
Xie Yiyi got out of the car and greeted her parents with a smile.
"Happy New Year, Mom and Dad."
Lu Bingchen also greeted them with a gift in hand.
"I'm back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come in, come in." Chen You greeted with a smile, "Ask the butler to help carry the gifts. Come in and sit down. Serve the tea!"
Xie Peifeng also greeted Lu Bingchen warmly.
Years ago, thanks to the timely transfer of 500 billion US dollars by my son-in-law, the project was able to run very smoothly and captured a large market in Western Europe.
Xie Peifeng and Shen You are a couple with strong career ambitions and they like strong people.
He had strongly opposed his daughter being with Lu Bingchen at the beginning because he felt that Lu Bingchen was the abandoned son of the Lu family, mediocre and incompetent, and was just making a living by running a small clinic as a psychologist. Naturally, Xie Peifeng looked down on such a person as a son-in-law.
But no one expected that Lu Bingchen's underground abilities were so strong that he could run dozens of leading companies at the same time. This was a top-notch business acumen, many times better than Lu Zhizhang, the current president of the Lu Group.
Xie Peifeng even suspected that the Lu family was crazy.
Anyway, he is smart and he likes this son-in-law very much now!
In the evening, the table was filled with Lu Bingchen's favorite dishes.
After dinner, when Lu Bingchen and Xie Yiyi were about to leave, Xie Peifeng warmly invited them to stay overnight, "Why don't you stay at home for one night?"
Lu Bingchen looked at Xie Yiyi with a gentle smile on his face. Xie Yiyi blinked at him, meaning rejection.
If she stayed tonight, Shen You would definitely keep repeating in her ear, "Give birth to a baby!"
Lu Bingchen: "Mom and Dad, we also want to stay, but Peizhou is still in the hospital. We agreed to go to the hospital to visit him in the evening and wish him a happy new year."
Xie Yiyi nodded immediately: "Yes, I have already agreed with my uncle. He hasn't given me a New Year's red envelope this year. I have to go to him to ask for it!"
Shen You was helpless: "You're already married, but you're still like a child, asking for red envelopes."
"Hehe, let's go first!"
Xie Peifeng and Shen You personally escorted the two to the car. Xie Peifeng looked at his wife and said, "Yiyi is not young anymore. Talk to her more and ask her to have a child with Bingchen soon. Having a child will make the relationship more stable."
Shen Youdian nodded, "Well, Bingchen is very good, and it can be seen that he loves Yiyi very much. Our daughter will be happy."
-
Inside the car, Lu Bingchen looked through the rearview mirror and saw Xie's parents still standing there, waving at them and watching them leave.
Deep down, he was moved.
He had never seen this scene in his parents since he was a child.
No, I have seen it.
But it was not given to him, but to his elder brother Lu Zhizhang.
The sky gradually darkened. Xie Yiyi followed the navigation system and drove attentively. He shook his head and sighed, "It's over. My parents are 100% satisfied with you now."
Lu Bingchen looked at her delicate profile, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Is it not good? How did it end?"
Xie Yiyi: "If they knew our marriage was fake, I would definitely get my ass spanked."
Lu Bingchen looked at her, paused for two seconds, and said seriously: "Then never let them know it's fake."
