What went wrong with Chapter 133?
In the past, whenever he heard that a girl was pretty, regardless of whether she was married or not, he would rush over to her like a dog smelling a meat bun!
Because of this incident, the Ling family's already bad reputation has been further damaged, and yet this person still doesn't know how to restrain himself.
I heard that he hasn't even finished the divorce proceedings with his current wife yet, but he's already found someone else.
Yu Changqing was deep in thought, wondering why this usually unserious person had suddenly become so serious.
Zhang Yaqin, standing to the side, frowned slightly, her eyes revealing undisguised worry.
As soon as the Ling family left, she pulled Yu Changqing back to the bedroom.
"Changqing, what exactly are you thinking this time?"
Zhang Yaqin said she couldn't understand what her husband was up to this time.
Although the Ling family has a very good background, and their son-in-law Yunxiang is quite handsome.
The problem is that the Ling family had already announced long ago that the eldest son's family would be in charge of the family business in the future.
Moreover, Zhang Yaqin also realized this through today's family dinner.
Leaving aside his own problems, the fact that the eldest son of the Ling family has become so reckless and unruly today is a testament to his own shortcomings.
The two elders in the Ling family also have big problems!
“You used to say that I was a doting mother who spoiled my son, but compared to Madam Ling, I feel that I am far from being good enough.”
Zhang Yaqin talked on and on, but didn't get a response from Yu Changqing.
I looked up and found him standing there in a daze.
"What are you thinking about? I've been talking to you for ages." Zhang Yaqin waved her hand in front of him.
"nothing."
Yu Changqing's eyes flickered. "What did you just say?"
"I said, isn't this marriage arranged too hastily?"
Zhang Yaqin sighed, "Those two old folks are so biased, and Ling Yunfei is a scoundrel. I'm wondering if Manli will be suppressed by the eldest son's family in every way after she marries into the family?"
"Why are you so worried? He's a nobody anyway, and he's not our son-in-law."
Seeing that Zhang Yaqin didn't understand his implied meaning, Yu Changqing said a few more words.
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'Those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish'? The more despicable a person is, the more people they will offend."
"Do you think the higher-ups are unaware of what he's done all these years?"
Zhang Yaqin hadn't really thought about that. "But what will happen to Manli if their family goes bankrupt?"
“The family has already separated, so what does the eldest son’s family’s troubles have to do with the second son’s family?”
After saying "Aren't you stupid?", Yu Changqing added.
"The Ling family's achievements are evident; no matter what the higher-ups say, they can't just kill them off with one blow."
Based on his years of experience, the higher-ups will most likely give a slap followed by a sweet treat.
The Ling family only has two sons. If they deal with the eldest son's family, they will inevitably have to give the second son's family some benefits.
This is called the art of checks and balances.
Zhang Yaqin was both surprised and delighted. "If that's the case, then the Ling family will have to be handed over to our son-in-law from now on?"
Yu Changqing didn't speak, but his expression was quite certain.
"No wonder you chose the Ling family for our Manli."
Zhang Yaqin smiled with relief and then sighed.
"If we're talking about cunning, those of you who do political work are the most cunning."
"Don't speak so carelessly," Yu Changqing rebuked coldly.
If the Yu family had someone to take charge, why would he need to be so cautious?
After thinking for a moment, Yu Changqing added another word of advice.
"The general election is just a few months away. Whether the glory of our ancestors can be continued depends entirely on this election."
"You'd better watch out for yourself lately, especially the Huo family. Don't provoke them."
"Yes, yes, you're right."
Zhang Yaqin was happy and didn't argue with him.
"By the way, did you call Manli to inform her?" Yu Changqing suddenly asked.
"I called. I called them first thing this morning."
When this was mentioned, Zhang Yaqin's smile faded.
"People at their hospital said that Manli went to the Dancheng Military Sub-district with the medical team."
"However, I told my son to make sure that the person is sent back to Beijing before the 5th."
Yu Changqing was worried that things might change, "You didn't mention the marriage alliance, did you?"
"No."
Zhang Yaqin shook her head; she knew her daughter's temper.
If it's about a marriage alliance, she'd rather die than come back!
"Don't worry, I haven't even told my son about this. I just said I wasn't feeling well."
However, on the other hand, given Manli's temper, if she found out that they had tricked her into coming back for a marriage alliance, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.
Zhang Yaqin felt a headache just thinking about it.
Yu Changqing, however, was lost in his own thoughts and completely oblivious to the worry on his wife's face.
He originally wanted to use the opportunity of his daughter's wedding to arrange a chance encounter between the Ling family's son and the Huo family's daughter.
Nothing actually needs to happen; all that's needed is for that Ling family brat to glance at the girl a few more times.
Based on his understanding of the Huo family, he knew they would definitely not stand idly by.
At that time, the two families will inevitably become irreconcilable enemies.
Little did he know that despite all his calculations, Ling Yunfei was completely uninterested in the girl.
There was even a hint of disgust in his tone.
Yu Changqing couldn't figure out where things went wrong.
On the other side, the Huo family.
Jiang Si never expected that her unintentional action would save her so much trouble.
The two families had already finished eating and were now happily sitting in the living room, discussing the procedures for the day of the banquet.
I had no idea there were so many things to be aware of when getting married.
From the grand etiquette of the wedding procession to the small details of whether the table for the banquet is square or round, every aspect needs to be considered.
Fortunately, both sets of elders took care of these matters, so Jiang Si didn't have to worry about anything and could just relax and be a beautiful bride.
She has been busy with work recently, but now that the work has been completed and the interviews are over, she can finally take a few days off.
Time flies, and it's already the day before New Year's Day.
Early that morning, Ninth Master sent someone to deliver the eight cotton quilts that had been fluffed.
The quilt covers were all made of woven silk satin, embroidered with large peonies, as well as phoenixes and cranes.
The red and green colors actually look quite festive.
Jiang Si originally thought that her third uncle would find a few quick and efficient aunts to come and help.
Unexpectedly, in the short time it took to change clothes, Uncle Zhong had already placed the bamboo-woven 'blanket' on the ground.
The two worked together seamlessly, one busy laying out the quilt and cotton batting, the other threading a needle.
Jiang Si was stunned. "Third Uncle, when did you learn to sew quilt covers?"
Third Uncle put a thimble on his hand and said with a smile.
"What's so difficult about that? You'll learn it after just a few glances."
Can you learn it after just a few glances?
These words surprised not only Jiang Si, but also Ninth Master, who had just finished unloading the goods and returned to the house to catch his breath.
Who would have thought that a once-powerful tycoon in Shanghai is now squatting there sewing a quilt cover with an embroidery needle!
