Chapter 444: The Marriage Contract between Yuan and He
Two days was enough time for He Xu to make friends with some people of higher status in the black market.
Knowing that Deputy Director Yuan, who had a good relationship with his father, was in a delicate situation, he did not contact him immediately. Instead, he got a lot of useful information from the people in the black market who knew Lin Cheng better. After sorting out the information, he called Deputy Director Yuan of the Revolutionary Committee.
The other party was stunned when he knew he was He Zheng's son. Before He Zheng was imprisoned, he often contacted him by phone. He knew that He Zheng had never liked his eldest son.
Of course, now that He Zheng has gone in, he doesn’t have to worry about his old friend’s feelings.
Deputy Director Yuan happily invited him to his home for lunch.
He Xu did not bring Chen Tang with him. He wanted to test whether Deputy Director Yuan had any ambitions, but this old man refused to listen and wanted to take advantage of his elders. He knew that He Xu's purpose was to get benefits right away.
He Xu had never seen such an arrogant person.
Except his father.
I can only say that these two people are worthy of being good friends.
But He Xu already had some information in his hands, and all he lacked was evidence. After contacting Yuan once and not getting what he wanted, He Xu turned around and contacted another official who truly cared about the people.
Deputy Director Yuan thought that he would contact him again, but after a day he still didn't receive a call from He Xu. Wanting to show off, Deputy Director Yuan could only take the initiative to invite He Xu to discuss things.
This time He Xu finally got what he wanted.
It's just that the process was not smooth. When He Xu just arrived at the box, Deputy Director Yuan introduced his wife and his wife's niece to him. If He Xu had been impatient, Deputy Director Yuan could have changed the subject further.
Seeing that He Xu could not be seduced by women, Deputy Director Yuan brought up another matter.
“Back then, your father and I were good friends, and we verbally arranged a marriage, saying it was to maintain the friendship between our two families.
Now that you are married, and I don't have a daughter, this marriage can only fall on my grandchildren. I heard that you have a son, and my granddaughter is exactly three years old. She is so cute and well-behaved. Why don't our two families take this opportunity to exchange tokens and finalize this marriage."
He Xu's mouth twitched: "My father is still in prison."
Deputy Director Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, nephew, your father did something wrong, how can he be confused with you? How about letting the two children meet today? Children, slowly cultivate them. When they grow up together as childhood sweethearts, what's the worry about not having feelings for each other?"
He Xu: "No need, you don't know, my father never treated me as his son. The marriage he's talking about should refer to the child of your daughter and my stepbrother."
He stood up and said very seriously: "Don't worry, when I go back this time, I will tell Grandpa about the marriage my father arranged for your family and my stepbrother's child. My grandfather will definitely agree to it."
Deputy Director Yuan was anxious: "How can this be the same? Your father and I decided that the child is his biological son..."
"Although my stepbrother is an heir, he is more prosperous than a biological son. Don't worry, I will definitely help you to make this marriage happen."
He Xu had a smile on his face, which made Deputy Director Yuan so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly.
"Nephew, aren't you afraid that my news is false?"
He Xu sneered: "I don't care whether the news is false or not, I just want to vent my anger for Hejia Village. As for me, I won't be in Lincheng for long. If something goes wrong, then Uncle Yuan, you will be sad."
The evidence he provided was enough to bring down the municipal party secretary and some factional officials. If he failed to bring them down, then how could Deputy Director Yuan, who betrayed them, still have a good life?
Deputy Director Yuan's face changed, his mind turned into a myriad of thoughts, and he stood up to see him off, without any sign of the flattery or threat he had just shown.
He Xu was tired from walking, so he just walked him along. He was even more happy not to walk.
Soon, the car arrived at the door of the guesthouse.
Shen Tang was staying well in the guesthouse when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Shen Tang, who was helping his child with homework, thought it was a waiter, but when he opened the door, he saw that it was a lady who was dressed very decently.
"Oh, you are He's niece, right?"
Chen Tang was a little surprised: "Who are you?"
The woman looked no more than forty years old, and she still had the cuteness of a young girl. Even her voice was soft and charming: "I am Yuan Nenggang's wife. Oh, by the way, my man just sent your man back and was talking downstairs. I was really bored, so I came up to say hello to you, my niece-in-law."
Chen Tang glanced towards the window and saw He Xu standing next to the car, chatting with a middle-aged man.
She opened the door and said with a smile, "Would you like to come in and sit for a while, ma'am?"
Mrs. Yuan covered her mouth and laughed: "No need, my husband is waiting for me downstairs, I will come to find you to play at my house tomorrow."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at He Zhi who was holding Chen Tang's legs, and was extremely satisfied to see that the child was very beautiful.
"This is your child, right? He is about the same age as my granddaughter. Come, come, grandma brought you some candy. I will ask the driver to pick you up tomorrow. The two children will definitely have something to talk about."
If the child himself likes it, He Xu can't ignore his son's wishes.
Her granddaughter is so cute, she doesn't believe there is any child who doesn't like her.
Chen Tang always felt that this person seemed to have some bad intentions, so she didn’t let the child take her candy: “My son is naughty and impatient, I’m afraid he will make the little girl cry.”
Mrs. Yuan laughed out loud: "What's the big deal? What if the two of you just hit it off? It's settled. I'll come pick you up to go to my house tomorrow."
After saying that, she picked up her bag and turned around and left, not giving Shen Tang a chance to refute.
After a while, He Xu came back with some fruits.
Chen Tang frowned and looked at him: "You sold your son just because you went out for a while?"
He Xu was confused: "What do you mean I sold my son?"
He Zhi opened his big eyes, bit the tip of the pen, looked left and right, and resolutely hugged his mother's legs, pretending to cry: "Daddy, don't sell me, Xiaobao is happy to be your child now."
Chen Tang chuckled, then put on a stern face again: “Go do your homework.”
The little fellow grinned and sat obediently by the window, thinking about the questions with a pen.
He Xu hugged Chen Tang and brought him to his arms, his handsome face full of grievance: "I just came back and you're holding me accountable. When you interrogate a prisoner, you have to give him time to explain himself. Why don't you believe me?"
Shen Tang rolled his eyes at him.
He Xu couldn't help but lean over and kiss her face: "Don't be angry, Tangtang, how can I not love our child? Don't worry, I will definitely not sell our son."
Chen Tang's heart softened, but he didn't show it on his face: "So, it wasn't that Madam Yuan who took a fancy to our son, but your uncle?"
He Xu raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by fancying? He just wants to get close to our family! The Yuan guy is really an official. When I cooperated with him, he directly treated me as his nephew and bullied me. He also said that he also has a granddaughter who is only three years old this year. If the two families can arrange a marriage, he can help more."
"Who am I? It's good enough that I don't threaten others, but he actually wants to threaten me. He doesn't want the positions of Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Revolutionary Committee Director, but there are people who want them. Lincheng is so big, without him, is there no one else willing to help?"
Chen Tang's eyebrows relaxed: "So you kept the second hand?"
He Xu seemed to be begging for praise, his eyebrows and eyes full of pride: "Of course, after being with you for so long, how could I be so stupid as to do anything rashly?"
"Don't worry, even without that Yuan, I can still get some evidence of corruption and bribery."
"Are we still going to Yuan's house to play tomorrow?"
Shen Tang stayed here for two days and felt a little bored.
"You can go if you want. With our grandfather here, they, the Yuans, will naturally flatter us. If there is a threat, it doesn't matter if you have to break up with us."
After hearing this, Chen Tang knew that He Xu was going to write a letter of denunciation.
She was happy and took He Zhi to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy popsicles, and gave the table in the room to him.
