Chen Yun shared the same attitude. She was just about to go to her brother and tell him not to attend the banquet when she happened to run into Chen Fei being pressured to get married.
“Don’t you have a girlfriend? Bring her home so we can meet her. Then our parents can meet, and we can get engaged.” That’s what my mother said. “You’re almost thirty, you should hurry up.” That was my father.
Chen Fei, sitting opposite him, looked helpless. "I'm only twenty-five. My parents aren't exactly living off this kind of money." But when he saw Chen Yun, he immediately found his savior. "My sister's here. She must have something to tell me. I'll go take care of it now."
Chen Yun turned to leave, but before she could take a step, Chen Fei pulled her away, and then the two siblings received their parents' lecture together.
"Xiaoyun, tell me why you came to see your brother. You two should finish what you're doing first." Chen's mother's understanding words made Chen Yun a little embarrassed.
She doesn't understand company affairs, and if she doesn't let her brother attend the banquet, it will have a negative impact on the company. If she says this in front of her parents, they definitely won't agree.
"I...I'm fine, I just strolled over." Chen Yun wasn't good at lying, especially among family members she knew too well, but the others didn't call her out.
Chen's mother stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "It's good for your health to walk around more. You must be so tired from drawing at the table all day." Chen Yun quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, I'll go out more often to stretch my muscles."
“I’ll go buy her a comfortable table tomorrow,” Chen Fei immediately chimed in.
“Sigh, your mother and I aren’t in good health. You two need to take care of each other, especially regarding your brother’s marriage. He has a girlfriend but doesn’t bring her home, which makes us angry.”
“We’re not the kind of people who only care about social status; we’re quite open-minded,” Chen’s mother said, and she was telling the truth.
"I'll definitely bring her back to meet you all in a while. Alright, you two should go out for a stroll. I'll take Xiaoyun to buy a table." Chen Fei made the promise and then led Chen Yun out.
"Speak, what do you want to see me about?" Chen Fei asked Chen Yun before she could even speak, as she was driving.
Chen Yun covered her mouth and laughed, "I can't hide it from you after all. So, did you receive an invitation from the Xu family?"
"Yes, you were the one who arranged this. Are you going too?" Chen Fei asked.
Chen Yun quickly shook her head, her head bobbing like a rattle drum, "No, no, no, I just thought it was better to leave the hospital in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing. Yue... Yue Lanxing used to be Xiaoyue's bodyguard, what could he possibly know?"
“But, I don’t think it’s right for Uncle Xu to be in such a hurry for Xiao Hao to inherit the company, after all, Xiao Yue…” Chen Yun couldn’t finish her sentence.
Chen Fei reached out and patted her head. "Fine, if you don't want me to go, I won't go. I'm too busy with so many things at the company."
Chen Yun was relieved to see that her brother understood her meaning, and then, seeing that he said he was busy with the company, she asked, "Brother, with the company so busy, do you and your wife have any dates?"
“I just don’t have time, that’s why I don’t dare bring her back. I’m busy and she’s busy, so we don’t see each other often. You know, in our family, the man is the breadwinner and the woman stays home. She’s also very career-oriented, so I haven’t dared to tell her about our family situation,” Chen Fei sighed.
Chen Yun understood what he meant. "Are you thinking of dragging this out with your parents until they get impatient and agree to let your sister-in-law go back to work?"
"My sister is so smart," Chen Fei said, giving her a thumbs up.
The reactions to Xu Guangcai sending out invitations varied. Xu Guangcai was unaware that most people were not planning to attend, and even if he had known in advance, it wouldn't have reflected the actual situation.
"Dad, there are so many people outside. How many invitations did you send out?" Xu Zhaohao asked nervously in his room.
Xu Guangcai patted him on the shoulder, "What are you afraid of? From now on, they will all have to call you President Xu. They are all your partners. Be generous and don't show any fear later."
"I understand, Dad." Xu Zhaohao was still mentally preparing himself.
Xu Guangcai watched him with satisfaction from the side, "He is indeed my son. He can step up in times of difficulty. As long as you become the chairman, those people will not dare to make things difficult for you."
“Look at the He family, the Chen family, even the Han family has invested in us. We used to avoid them because we were afraid of that plague Yue Lanxing. Now that he’s gone, everything is fine.”
Xu Zhaohao lowered his head. He didn't want to say that these families were either doing it for his sister's sake or trying to trip up Yue Lanxing. Maybe his father knew the truth but just didn't want to admit it.
Outside, He Kaiyuan looked at his sister and asked, "Sis, why did you suddenly agree to come?" He Lianhua, seeing his silly grin, replied, "How are things going between you and Xiao Hao?"
"Huh? What happened?" He Kaiyuan pretended to be confused even though he knew the answer.
After making sure no one was around, He Lianhua spoke even more quietly, "Don't pretend with me. Just because I didn't ask before doesn't mean I didn't know. I'm just telling you something: once he becomes President Xu, there will be no chance for you two anymore."
"Sister, I know, but what can we do? He's already suffering enough. Let's just leave it at that. I'll take over the company properly in the future."
As He Lianhua listened to her brother say these things, she thought to herself that such a favorable situation, where one could both attack and defend, wouldn't always be available.
Chen Fei was also curious as to why his sister had suddenly called him over. "I was just about to ask your sister-in-law out, and you came over with just one phone call. What's going on?"
"Oh, then you should go find your sister-in-law now. Why didn't you say so sooner?" Chen Yun was worried for her brother.
Chen Fei quickly made a shushing gesture, "Keep your voice down, your sister-in-law is working overtime and isn't paying attention to me."
"Haha, so you're the one who got abandoned. Let me tell you, there's going to be a big show later, but remember, you have to stand on Xiaoyue's side." Chen Yun had no idea how shocking her words were.
