Chapter 139 Banquet 1
A cacophony of gazes fell upon them, but neither paid them any attention. Lou Xiaoyu released her hand and turned to walk toward people she knew.
His wife's kindness was something he was about to accept. Just then, a friend came over, so he went to say hello.
Gu Qing took a glass of juice, turned around and went to find Bo Chuan. It was normal for her to socialize with him under the guise of being Bo Chuan's wife.
Another point is that she saw Jin Beiwang. Although she had compensated her savior for everything that needed to be compensated, some things cannot be settled like that.
"How is Researcher Jin's health? I've been very busy lately and haven't had a chance to visit you. I'll invite you to my home for dinner sometime."
Jin Beiwang, his phoenix eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses, gave her a deep look, then sighed. "What's the difference between me and Lou Xiaoyu?"
Both of them were very dignified due to their family upbringing, but Lou Xiaoyu had the poise and politeness of a European aristocrat in public.
I remember Gu Qing's classmate from her previous life saying that this kind of person always gives people a pretentious feeling.
Jin Beiwang embodies the rigorous restraint of a scholar, coupled with the condescending air of someone in a position of power.
Seeing that she was still fixated on this matter, Gu Qing blinked and smiled, saying, "Master Gao only requires that Lou Xiaoyu marry into the family and be among the three husbands."
But I can't afford the conditions offered by the Jin family.
Federal law explicitly states that a woman's first three husbands are those whom the federal government is required to marry, and they are therefore more protected within the family than men who marry into the family later.
First, they must hand over at least 60% of their income, and others at least 80%. Most importantly, the woman must not skip these three men and have children with other men.
Then these three husbands can request to use the woman's eggs to create children for the purpose of inheritance.
Of course, if the woman doesn't have any children, no one can do anything about it. It's her own body, and she can do whatever she wants with it, but the premise is that it complies with the fairness of the law.
Jin Beiwang had some feelings for Gu Qing, but not to the point of being unable to live without her. He was just asking out of curiosity.
He was still somewhat surprised to hear Gu Qing speak so rationally.
"Are we going back as soon as the banquet ends?" Gu Qing didn't want to dwell on this matter.
"I won't go back for now. This planet has many typical exotic plants and animals, which are of great research value. I have decided to establish a branch here."
I'll probably be here for the next year or two, at least most of the time.
"I wish you all the best in your research, and please take care of yourself." Gu Qing raised the juice in her hand.
"Qingqing." Bo Chuan came over and put his arm around her waist.
"A-Chuan, what brings you here?"
"I'd like to introduce you to my eldest and second eldest brothers." Bo Chuan raised his wine glass to the other person.
Seeing the wariness in Bo Chuan's eyes, Jin Beiwang nodded helplessly and took his leave, somewhat puzzled.
Given her status, and considering that Gu Qing already had three husbands, she wouldn't go out of her way to pursue him again; the Jin family couldn't afford to lose face like that.
Aside from the three legitimate husbands, the other men in the family naturally have a lower status. If he really did that, the Jin family would also be considered inferior.
Gu Qing watched Jin Beiwang walk away, then turned to look at Bo Chuan. Bo Chuan, who rarely smiled, gave a faint smile with a hint of ingratiation.
It is not that they are obviously humble, but rather that they are more attractive.
After navigating through several groups of people and exchanging toasts with acquaintances, we arrived at a four-seater sofa.
The two men sitting on the sofa, one with silver-white hair styled in a wolf-like manner, had a sharp look in his eyes that inadvertently revealed a wildness.
The other man had his hair combed back, revealing striking features. When he looked at people, he exuded an aura of authority, commanding respect without a hint of anger.
"Qingqing, this is my older brother, Shen Dongling. He works at the Ministry of Education now."
This is my second brother, Qiu Jixiao, who is currently preparing to take over the Qiu family's business.
Bo Chuan was very relaxed with these two people, unlike the rumors circulating in the interstellar world that they had deep opinions about him because he might take over the family business.
In reality, the two people represent two families. It's a deal between Bo Chuan's mother and the two families: they protect Bo Chuan's mother and provide her with resources. In return, Bo Chuan's mother gives birth to a child for both families.
So the child was born and taken back to his family home to be raised. They never coveted Bo Chuan's mother's property. Without any conflict of interest or positions, their relationship was quite good.
