Chapter 83 Standing Up Straight
Lan Yu smiled bitterly, "So far, I have only come into contact with four people, my husband's grandfather, father, second uncle and aunt. My second uncle and aunt are both good people and treat me very well, but my husband's father has a bad attitude."
Ji Tiantian: "Then just don't worry about him. When he gets old, you won't have to take care of him."
Lan Yu: "That's definitely not necessary. He and his current wife have two children, a boy and a girl. Okay, stop talking and let's get some food. There are so many people here and they are all from Dongsheng."
"If this gets to my father-in-law's ears, he'll be furious again."

At this time, Fang Lin took Lu Yuanyuan to have lunch together.
I plan to take Lu Yuanyuan to customize an engagement dress after dinner.
Originally, Fang Lin wanted to invite Bai Xiuhe to join her, but Lu Yanyan said that Bai Xiuhe was very busy recently, so she had to give up.
The two arrived at the Western restaurant they had booked. As soon as they stepped in, someone waved to Fang Lin, "Mrs. Gu, what a coincidence. Come and sit with us. You haven't gotten together with us sisters for a long time."
When Fang Lin saw that they were the ladies of prominence in Jiangbei City, she pulled Lu Yuanyan over to share a table and said to them with a smile, "Mrs. Zhang, long time no see. You look younger and younger. I'm really enviable."
"Yanyan, let me introduce them to you. Mrs. Zhang's husband is the president of Jiangbei Bank, Mrs. Chen's husband is the director of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and Mrs. Zhou's husband is the director of the Municipal Tourism Bureau."
"Sisters, this is my future daughter-in-law Lu Yanyan. Yanyan's father is Mr. Lu Yinan, chairman of Xinglong Group."
As soon as Fang Lin finished speaking, the expressions of the three ladies became complicated in an instant.
Mrs. Zhang reacted quickly and called the waiter: "Waiter, please add two sets of bowls and chopsticks here."
Mrs. Chen forced a smile and asked Fang Lin: "Mrs. Gu, isn't this Captain Gu's wife? I remember that Captain Gu's wife didn't seem to be Miss Lu."
Fang Lin was embarrassed, "Of course not, Yanyan is my son Yunyi's fiancée. By the way, there will be an engagement party next Friday, and I would like to invite everyone to come and have fun. I will have someone send the invitations in the next two days."
Lu Yanyan turned to Fang Lin and said, "Auntie, I'm going to the bathroom."
Fang Lin waved her hand: "Go ahead."
After Lu Yuanyuan left, Mrs. Chen asked Fang Lin, "Mrs. Gu, who introduced Miss Lu to you?"
Fang Lin didn't want to hide it from these people, "Actually, my mother-in-law originally introduced Yanyan to Yunchi, but Yunchi disagreed and went to find a doctor, which almost pissed my parents-in-law off to death."
"I thought Yanyan was a good girl, so I asked her to meet Yunyi. Unexpectedly, both of them were very satisfied, so the marriage was settled. Our Yunyi now works under my grandfather with his father, and the old man is very satisfied."
"Now that we are marrying into the Lu family, the old man and the old lady are even happier. The old man is old, and he hopes to determine his successor as soon as possible. So our Yun Yi is working very hard now, hoping to win the old man's approval."
Mrs. Chen gave a meaningful smile, "Really? Then your Yun Yi is quite powerful."
Fang Lin suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom too, "Sisters, I'm going to the bathroom too, and we'll come back later to continue chatting."
After seeing Fang Lin walking away, Mrs. Chen turned to the other two ladies and said, "Could it be that Fang Lin doesn't know that Lu Yuanyuan is a fake daughter? Look how happy she is, as if she got a great bargain."
Mrs. Zhou, who had been silent the whole time, said: "That's impossible. Even if Fang Lin didn't know, how could the old man and old lady in their family not know? They should know. Maybe they don't care if she's a fake daughter."
Mrs. Chen curled her lips and said, "If their old man can accept this fake daughter, I think there is only one possibility, that is, the old man never wanted Gu Yunyi to be his successor."
Mrs. Zhang: "I heard that the old man still likes his eldest grandson Gu Yunchi more."
Mrs. Zhou: "But isn't the woman Gu Yunchi married an ordinary doctor? How can the old man accept that his eldest daughter-in-law is just an ordinary woman? Or does that woman have a background that we don't know about?"
Mrs. Chen: "It's very possible. Otherwise, why didn't Gu Yunchi marry Lu Yuanyan, but instead married a doctor? This means that the doctor must be better than Lu Yuanyan."
Seeing Fang Lin and Lu Yuanyuan coming back, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said, "Stop talking, they are back."
Lu Yanyan could feel that there was something strange in the way these three ladies looked at her, but she thought it was because she was the daughter of the Lu family, so she deliberately mentioned how good her parents and brother were to her during the meal.
Fang Lin felt more and more proud as she listened to Lu Yuanyan's words.
He felt that since his son could marry the Lu family's beloved daughter, he would definitely get the Lu family's full support in the future.
After dinner, she rushed to pay the bill and then took Lu Yuanyan to order a dress.
Seeing that Fang Lin valued her so much, Lu Yanyan straightened her back. When she returned home in the evening, she announced to Lu Yinan and his wife: "Mom and Dad, my mother-in-law told me today that she hopes I will move in with them after the engagement party."
Bai Xiuhe was surprised. "Engagement isn't marriage. Aren't you afraid of gossip if you live there like this?"
Lu Yinan also felt that it was inappropriate, "Yeah, Yanyan, if you want to move in with them, that's fine. Just tell them and ask Yunyi to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible. The wedding banquet can be held later."
Lu Yanyan was displeased, "This is what my mother-in-law wanted, not me who proposed it. In their eyes, engagement means marriage. Today, when my mother-in-law introduced me to her friends, she said that I was her daughter-in-law."
"If she didn't consider me family, why would she introduce me like that? Anyway, I've already informed you. Don't you also want me to move out as soon as possible?"
"We hope that you can be independent," Lu Yinan explained, "If you move out and live on your own, we definitely have no objection, but now that you have chosen to get engaged, you can't just move out like that."
Lu Yuanyuan curled her lips and said, "The Gu family is not afraid of gossip, so what are you afraid of?"
Lu Yinan wanted to say something else but was held back by his wife Bai Xiuhe.
Bai Xiuhe looked at this rebellious adopted daughter and said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, we will respect your decision."
Lu Yuanyan: "Thank you, that's all. I'll go upstairs first. I'm tired after shopping all afternoon."
Bai Xiuhe was so angry that her stomach started to hurt again. She said to her husband Lu Yinan, "Look at her attitude! Now that she has the Gu family's support, she dares to speak to us in this tone!"
Lu Yinan also felt that his adopted daughter's attitude had changed today, but he still advised his wife based on the attitude that a harmonious family is the key to success: "Okay, she will move out after the engagement party, and the result will be what you wish for."
Although Bai Xiuhe was angry, she stopped caring when she thought that Lu Yuanyuan would be moving out soon.
When her son Lu Chengfeng came back in the evening, she told him that Lu Yanyan had decided to move to the Gu family after the engagement party. Lu Chengfeng was also very surprised and asked his mother when they would get the marriage certificate.
Bai Xiuhe sighed lightly, "Your father and I both advised her to get the certificate first and then move in, but she said that it was Fang Lin who asked her to move in, which means that she has already been recognized as the daughter-in-law, so it doesn't matter whether they get the certificate or not."
