She doesn't like Captain Lu at all?
Yue Jialiang felt like he was listening to a foreign language.
In the past six months since returning to China, ever since Yue Feiying met Lu Zhan at a welcome banquet held for patriotic Chinese businessmen returning from overseas, she has been trying every possible way to create various opportunities to meet him. Her admiration for Lu Zhan is obvious to everyone, not to mention that she even did such a ridiculous thing as drugging him.
Now tell him that she doesn't like Lu Zhan at all, how could Yue Jialiang believe it easily?
"Then tell me, who was that glass of drugged wine prepared for?"
The servant who helped Yue Feiying drugged has personally admitted that it was the eldest lady who asked him to prepare the drug and pour it into the glass of red wine. This is an undeniable fact.
If it's not for land warfare, then who is it for?
Yue Feiying's mind raced, and a suitable candidate immediately appeared in his mind:
"Isn't that the guy who stayed in the room with me? We fell in love at first sight and we're so compatible. Can't we have a glass of red wine to liven up the conversation?"
She had been thinking hard for the past two days, but couldn't remember who the young man was. It seemed they had never met before. She thought that blaming this matter on a stranger could exchange for her freedom. It was indeed a good idea that her clever little brain could come up with.
Unexpectedly, Yue Jialiang's eyes lit up immediately, his face full of surprise:
"Are you serious? You fell in love at first sight and were completely in love?"
God knows how guilty and self-blaming he was for not consulting his daughter and secretly arranging the marriage with the Qi family. When he heard that the two of them fell in love at first sight and were in love with each other, it was like pulling him out of the abyss of guilt.
Yue Feiying heard the joy in his tone and thought she had tricked him, so she replied proudly:
"Of course! Even though I grew up abroad, I wouldn't kiss someone I don't like!"
Very good!
Yue Jialiang, who got a positive answer again, felt that this was the most wonderful arrangement of God. The moment before, he was still blaming himself for secretly arranging a marriage for his daughter, but at this moment he realized that everything was destined by fate.
“Click!”
The door opened.
Outside the door, Yue Jialiang opened his arms and gave Yue Feiying a big hug with great joy, his face flushed with excitement:
"Yingying, I have a surprise for you!"
Yue Feiying was stunned by his sudden hug. Although she didn't reject it based on her original owner's instinct, there was no need to get so close...
"...Are you going to let me out?"
Yue Feiying couldn't imagine what other surprises she would hear besides this.
Looking at her confused daughter, Yue Jialiang felt that her innocence was adorable. Those who said that her daughter did not know the rules and acted willfully were the ones who lacked the eyes to discover truth, goodness and beauty.
"The young man you like came to propose marriage today, and Dad has already agreed to the marriage on your behalf."
"How is it, are you surprised? Are you happy?"
“…”
Yue Feiying felt a buzzing in her head, and a feeling of helplessness welled up in her heart, like someone had hit her with a club but couldn't fight back. Was the retribution for lying coming so quickly?!
Isn’t it a bit too hasty to get married in this day and age? Doesn’t it require the consent of the person concerned?
"We've only met once, and we're already talking about marriage. Isn't that a bit too fast?"
If only Shao Jingque was around at this time, Yue Feiying felt that her brain was not enough and she couldn't even think of a better reason to refute.
Yue Jialiang's face was full of joy:
"This just proves that you two are a match made in heaven!"
"Did you know? That young man is the blind date your father wanted to introduce you to. I didn't expect you two would be attracted to each other first. Your father has also investigated his family. He will definitely not let you suffer if you marry him."
"This is the betrothal gift list his father brought with him when he proposed marriage. Take a look and see if you're satisfied. No matter how much it is, I think it at least shows his sincerity!"
Yue Feiying looked down at the thick, red stack of betrothal gifts in her hand. Under her old father's eager gaze, she slowly unfolded it.
The gift list was densely packed, stretching over five pages. She wasn't particularly interested in the now-scarce daily necessities, but the black ink on the red paper clearly indicated a two-story apartment at No. 1 Wuhuai Street in Nanjing, a courtyard house at No. 168 Shichahai Back Street in Beijing, and two shops at No. 27 and 28 Nanjing Road in Shanghai...
Yue Feiying's eyes, which were originally dull, became brighter as she looked at the gift list. The list also listed a pair of gold Rolex watches, a number of gold bars, a number of gold bracelets, a number of gold necklaces, a number of gold earrings, a number of gold rings...
As she looked at it, she noticed that the black words on the red paper began to glow with gold.
Judging from the speed of the response, Yue Jialiang was very satisfied with the sincerity of the Qi family. Judging from the contents of the gift list, it can also be seen that Qi Mingyuan attaches great importance to this eldest son. Of course, what is more important is that the two young people are in love. Yingying will definitely live a happy life after marrying him!
Just thinking about the daughter he had taken such good care of getting married so soon made Yue Jialiang's nose ache. In order to prevent his daughter from seeing it, he could only try his best to hold it back.
Yue Feiying, who originally thought it was ridiculous to arrange a marriage so hastily, was now torn between her conscience and her own desires.
She didn't know how much the house in Ning City would be worth in the future, but she knew how much the house in Shichahai and the door on Nanjing Road were worth!
Not to mention the two Rolexes, the gold bars and the gold jewelry were all made of solid gold... It's over, there were so many zeros that she couldn't even count them in her head...
Not to mention the 68,000 yuan start-up capital for a small family. This was in the 1970s, when the average wage per capita was only 30 yuan!
