Chapter 108 I Want Everyone to Be Happy
The next day, in the evening.
Xie Yiyi took Lu Bingchen's arm and walked into the Xie family's old house. She took off her long down jacket at the entrance.
Xie Yiyi put on a very bright and cute makeup today. The swelling on her cheeks had subsided. A white flowing veil was clipped on her black and beautiful bun. She wore a slim and sexy white fishtail cheongsam underneath, which made her look sexy and beautiful.
Lu Bingchen looked at the heroic fighting spirit in her eyes, curled his thin lips, bent his arm, and motioned her to put her arm around his.
Lu Bingchen is a psychologist by profession. He rarely wears formal business attire, and in order to narrow the psychological distance between himself and his patients, he usually wears non-aggressive light-colored clothing, which makes him look gentle and elegant at first glance.
Today, men are dressed in suits and look very handsome.
"Are you ready?"
"Well, attack!"
Xie Yiyi took his arm, and the two of them walked towards the main hall with their heads held high.
The housekeeper had already informed us in advance that Miss Yi Yi would be back for dinner in the evening.
Xie Peifeng and Shen You sat in the main hall drinking tea. Xie Yiyi's behavior yesterday had infuriated them. She was 23 years old, yet still clueless. Fortunately, she knew she was wrong and had come back to admit her mistake.
"Sir, Miss Yiyi is back."
"Um."
Xie Peifeng put down his teacup, raised his eyelids and looked in the direction of the footsteps. He thought he would see his daughter's face admitting her mistake, but what caught his eye were two bright red marriage certificates.
Xie Yiyi said politely, "Mom and Dad, let me introduce you. This is my husband, Lu Bingchen, 32 years old, a psychologist. We went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate this afternoon. You don't have to worry about my life anymore..."
“Nonsense!”
Along with Xie Peifeng's furious roar, there was the crisp and harsh sound of a teacup falling to the floor, and the delicate cup body instantly shattered into pieces!
Xie Yiyi's heart sank suddenly, his cheeks turned pale, and he stopped talking without finishing his words.
Lu Bingchen noticed her momentary stiffness, and gently patted her hand on his right forearm with his left hand, looking at her with gentle comfort.
Xie Yiyi's breathing slowed down a bit.
Xie Peifeng's angry voice came, "Xie Yiyi, are you deliberately trying to piss me and your mother off to death? Yesterday I introduced you to a good man of equal social status, age, and personal ability, and you flipped the table and left, and today you brought back this one... a man ten years older than you, and a lousy doctor with no ability. Do you still have your father and mother in your eyes?"
Xie Yiyi felt as if Xie Peifeng's words were like sharp thorns piercing her chest. She felt so wronged that her eyes were sore. She choked back, "What about you? Do you truly love me as your daughter? Ever since I can remember, I've lived with my grandfather and my uncle. You were always busy with your careers abroad, sometimes not even coming home for the New Year."
"Over the years, how many birthdays have you celebrated with me? How many parent-teacher conferences have you attended? Do you ever understand my thoughts and know what I truly want?"
"...All you care about is your career and your company! I told you I didn't want to marry that second young master, but you forced me to do it. You even lied to me and tricked me back home to get me to sign the engagement agreement. In your eyes, business interests are so important that you're willing to sacrifice my happiness?"
Hearing his daughter's accusation, Xie Peifeng's back stiffened. He didn't dare to look at his daughter's aggrieved and sad eyes, and moved his gaze to Lu Bingchen's face.
Although the eldest wife has been in charge of the Xie Group's overseas business in recent years, she has also cooperated a lot with the Lu family.
Xie Peifeng had met the current president of Lu Group, Lu Zhizhang, and his features bore some resemblance to the man before him.
Lu Bingchen, a psychologist?
Xie Peifeng analyzed Lu Bingchen's identity, his black eyes filled with disdain, and he said coldly: "Cancel the marriage registration procedures immediately!"
Xie Yiyi was worried that her father would actually investigate, so she picked up the marriage certificate on the coffee table and said, "It can't be revoked. We've already registered and swore under the national emblem that we'll be together forever. There's no separation in life, only in death!"
"Xiaoyi," Shen You frowned, walked over to take his daughter's hand, and took her away from Lu Bingchen. He said earnestly: "You are too impulsive. Mom and Dad are the ones who brought you into this world. They are the people closest to you. How could they hurt you?"
"You're still young and don't understand the long-term plans parents make for their children. Marriage isn't just about liking someone; you need to look beyond the long term. In today's rapidly developing society, where the fittest survive, the purpose of marriage is to create benefits that are greater than 1+1."
"Right now, the overseas group your father and I manage is researching a new technology project and has a $500 billion funding gap. We chose the second son of the Cartier Group for you because we first saw that he is an excellent person, likes you, and can bring you happiness. Secondly, we considered the benefits of the marriage."
"Once the group partners with Cartier to fill the funding gap, your net worth will skyrocket several times in a few years."
"Ask Lu Bingchen about these things. He's a marginal figure in the Lu Group and has no ambition. If he doesn't join the company and becomes an idle psychologist, how much stock can he hold in the Lu family and how much say does he have? What ability does he have to bring you happiness and a better life?"
Shen You’s tone was full of contempt.
I don’t know what Shen You said that irritated Lu Bingchen, but the man’s black eyes flashed with sharpness.
"Big brother and sister-in-law."
Xie Peizhou's cold voice came from the direction of the hall entrance.
When everyone heard the sound, they looked over and saw Xie Peizhou in a black business suit. It seemed that he had come directly from the company.
Xie Yiyi's eyes instantly turned redder, and she cried out aggrievedly, "Uncle..."
Xie Peizhou glanced at Xie Yiyi. The little girl was very beautiful today, but also looked aggrieved.
"Brother," Xie Peizhou sighed inwardly. Now that the old man has passed away, the eldest brother has always been like a father since ancient times. Xie Peizhou said respectfully, "Five hundred billion US dollars, I will find a way."
"Peizhou, this is not a small amount of money."
Xie Peifeng was a little surprised. The two brothers were responsible for overseas and domestic respectively. If the domestic group could easily come up with the money, he wouldn't have to worry about finding a solution.
Xie Peizhou hummed a low "hmm" and said, "No problem, I can get it out."
"Our Xie family is supported by us two brothers, and the marriage is just the icing on the cake. Before Dad passed away, he was most worried about the little girl. He said that you and your sister-in-law were too busy working for the Xie family, and asked me to take good care of her. I don't ask for her to have a career or achieve anything, I just hope that she is happy every day and will always be the happy fruit of the Xie family."
"Life is hers after all. Let her make her own choice. After all, the Xie family will back her up."
Xie Peizhou's words plunged the living room into silence.
On the side, Xie Yiyi looked at Xie Peizhou's cold profile, tears of grievance falling one by one.
Although my uncle is sometimes strict and rigid, he loves her very much in his heart.
After this matter is over, she must speak well of her uncle in front of Wen Ci and let her uncle know as soon as possible that Nian Nian is his biological daughter.
I hope everyone is happy.
After a long while, Xie Peifeng spoke, "How long will it take for the funds to be transferred?"
Xie Peizhou, "Within half a month."
"Half a month..." Shen You frowned and sighed, "The period is a bit long. I'm afraid there will be unexpected or difficult problems overseas due to the funding gap."
"We still have to find another way," Xie Peifeng said in a deep voice, looking at Xie Yiyi in confusion, "Why do you dislike the Second Young Master so much? If I were you, I would happily accept the marriage!"
Xie Yiyi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Although she hated her parents for not accompanying her because of work every day, she was also worried if the group really had problems.
Five hundred billion, in US dollars, she had no way to come up with it.
"Three days. I can raise this amount of money within three days."
Lu Bingchen, who had been silent since entering the main hall, spoke his first words.
"Just you?"
Shen You was stunned, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "You have such a big say in the Lu Group?"
Lu Bingchen smiled, his attitude was humble, but his tone was a little cold.
