Chapter 523 Three Women, One Drama
Lu Jingyou has experienced this silent contest between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
What made him speechless was that they actually fought for the right to speak under the banner of how much betrothal gift to give to Su Jiaojiao, and even his words were useless.
Qi Heng heard everything clearly from the side, and smiled while stroking his chin, "When the little junior sister gets married, your family will be bustling. Three women will make a big show, and your family will be performing operas all day long, and your life will be more and more prosperous."
"I'd rather not have such a prosperous life." Lu Jingyou shook his head and frowned, "We don't live with them. We live far away from them. Not to mention my wife, I can't stand it."
"Haha, you have to bear it even if you can't." Qi Heng grinned, "But I believe in the fighting ability of my junior sister. She will definitely stand out in the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and become the champion."
"Just forget it!" Lu Jingyou felt horrified just thinking about it. "If she gets unhappy, she'll just torture me. I'm scared."
He needs to buy all the furniture for Lakeside Villa as soon as possible and move in next year so that he can go back less often and avoid trouble.
If they quarrel, he will be the one in trouble.
"Actually, this isn't a big deal. You're rich, so just give them one million as a betrothal gift to save them from arguing." Qi Heng knew Lu Jingyou's strength very well. "Our company is different now than it was last year. Our capital chain is alive, and you're not broke."
"I'm willing to give her any amount of money, but Jiahe Group is currently undergoing liquidation, and my grandfather has sold all the houses. I can't openly give her that much money right now, you know." Lu Jingyou never treated Qi Heng as an outsider. "What if after liquidation, the assets are less than the debts? Wouldn't we become the target of public criticism?"
There are too many partners in Jiahe Group and the accounts are numerous and complicated, so he cannot intervene now.
We can only make a decision after the liquidation is completed.
He will naturally pay what he should pay, and he will not pay what he should not pay. No one's money comes from the wind.
"That's true." Qi Heng expressed his understanding. "Although our company has completely severed ties with Jiahe Group, you are a member of the Lu family after all. If your grandfather really speaks up, you can't just ignore it."
"Even if my grandfather didn't ask, I would still help him. But I can't use our company's money to fill the hole in Jiahe Group. I can only use my own money." Lu Jingyou stood up and poured himself a glass of water. "So no matter what time, keeping a low profile is the best way."
He knew that his father's refusal to pay a betrothal gift of 100,000 yuan was not because he was reluctant.
Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to tell everyone that he had no money either.
"Your family affairs are quite complicated." Qi Heng felt a headache after hearing this and didn't want to listen any more. He couldn't help but tease Lu Jingyou, "You've already proposed successfully, but your fairy hasn't landed in your bed yet?"
He Siyu had just come in from outside. After hearing what Qi Heng said, he quickly sat down and listened with great interest.
"I think you're just idle. If you have nothing to do, just pack your bags and go on a business trip. Why would we sleep together if we're not married?" Lu Jingyou didn't want to talk about this topic with him. "Who is like you? You change girlfriends like you change clothes. You're always busy every night."
"I seriously suspect you have a problem now. If you do, go to the hospital immediately." Qi Heng sneered, "Don't you know that women also have needs?"
Lu Jingyou ignored him and got up and left.
He Siyu laughed: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu will definitely be fine."
"Tsk, you just pretend to be a gentleman." Qi Heng flipped through the calendar on the table, took a closer look, and exclaimed, "Oh my god, it's the end of August now. Does that mean he's getting married in five months?"
"Yeah, I've endured it for so many years, so five months won't make a difference." He Siyu laughed again, "She's about to achieve her goal, and you're still worrying about her when she's not even close."
"Have you got that stroke back?" Qi Heng asked He Siyu.
He Siyu had a girlfriend named Xu Ran in college, but Xu Ran's family did not agree, so the whole family immigrated to the United States and took Xu Ran with them.
The two lost contact from then on.
He Siyu was deeply shocked and never had a girlfriend.
Last year, Xu Ran came back and contacted him, saying that she could not forget him. After the two reconciled, Xu Ran said that she would go back to deal with things over there and then come back.
It has been more than a year since I left.
"He said he would be back at the end of the year." He Siyu replied indifferently.
"Oh, you're all romantic!" Qi Heng shook his head. "I'm speechless to men like you who like to hang yourself on a tree. The forest is so big, go out and explore more."
He Siyu just smiled.
After more than half a month of negotiations, Mrs. Lu and Lin Manli finally reached an agreement on the betrothal gift: three golds, totaling 66,000 yuan.
Not as good as the best, but better than the worst.
Lin Manling followed the whole thing and reminded Lin Manli, "I think your in-laws are scheming. They said they don't want a betrothal gift, which is a retreat to advance. They actually caused you and your mother-in-law to quarrel for so long."
"That's right, she might as well just tell us the amount and we'll give it to her." Lin Manli also had a grudge against Chen Guilan. "She took advantage of the fact that our Jingyou likes her daughter and acted like a mother-in-law. You don't know that now that Jingyou is back, he went straight to Jinyuan and didn't even go back to the old house."
She knew that women from small places were petty and cunning.
She has learned her lesson.
"Once you get married, your son will become her son." Lin Manling has always been eager to see the world in chaos. "Maybe they will live in Jinyuan in the future."
"Don't even think about taking my son away!" Lin Manli left angrily.
October 20th is the fourth day of the ninth lunar month. It is a clear and cool autumn day. The weather has cooled down completely.
Early in the morning, Lu Jingyou drove to Jinyuan, picked up Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao and returned to Jiao County. Lu Jiahe said that his waist hurt after sitting in the car for a long time, so he did not go with them and said that he would fly there by himself tomorrow.
The reason why Lu Jingyou drove was because he promised Zhao Shunfa to attend his wedding, and it would be convenient to drive back.
The two of them took turns driving on the road and arrived at Century Garden at around six o'clock in the evening.
Chen Guisheng's family had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them.
Zhao Shunfa, the groom-to-be, also came. When he saw Lu Jingyou, he was like meeting a relative. The two of them kept shaking hands and congratulating each other.
There were too many people at home and there was no room for them, so after dinner Lu Jingyou took Zhao Shunfa to Guolv. After they separated during the Chinese New Year, they often called each other to say hello and did not feel unfamiliar.
Chen Guilan and Chen Guisheng were chatting in the living room. She first asked about Chen Juan's marriage. Chen Guisheng said slowly, "It's just like getting married. Go to Zhao Shunfa's house for the wedding, and then come back to live."
"Neither of us is as shrewd as Zhao Shunfa's mother. She said she didn't want to be looked down upon in the village, so she asked us to hold the wedding according to the procedures for marrying off a daughter." Xu Yue'e was a little unhappy. "This way, Zhao Shunfa becomes a resident, and we are marrying off a daughter, not recruiting a son-in-law to take care of her in her old age."
