Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

Chapter 389 My uncle is not a good person [Request full order]
“Third brother, you…”
This script is wrong!
As agreed before, the purpose of today was to bring Sisi back and arrange for her to marry an official’s son who was of equal status to the Du family. This way, as a mother, he would be proud, and as her uncle, he would have an additional ally in the political arena.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
The words “don’t understand” were written on Du Yuanyuan’s face.
Because just yesterday, it was this brother who told her in person that it is better to have power than to have money, and that marrying a so-called businessman, no matter how rich he is, is not as good as marrying into a family with county-level or above leaders.
They also said that this young man named Lu Yang had character problems. He was not only a nouveau riche, but also had his eyes on the pot while eating from the bowl. He was obviously already married, but he still dared to have an affair with the daughter of our Du family. Who gave him the courage? He must be stopped and given a stern warning.
It’s only been one day!
How did it suddenly become like this? Was it just because the other party made a verbal promise to invest within the jurisdiction of my third brother?
But, isn’t it said that having money is not as important as having power, and that money is not important at all?
Du Qinian looked at his third sister’s expression and said unhappily, “Third sister, this is a new society, and marriages arranged by parents and matchmakers are no longer popular.
Our niece is now an adult and a graduate of a prestigious university. She has the right to decide how to work and live. I can understand if you have different opinions, but you cannot restrict her personal freedom.
Let me put it bluntly. I brought people here today to prevent you from kidnapping people by force, which would not only wrong Sisi, but also make a fool of the Du family.”
The word “official” has two mouths, the upper one makes sense, and the lower one also makes sense.
The fact that Du Qinian has this ability is enough to prove that he was able to rise to such a high position in the government not entirely relying on his family background.
“But, Third Brother, that’s not what you said yesterday…”
Du Yuanyuan’s face was pale.
Compared to letting her daughter work as a secretary for a married man named Lu Yang across the street, which would bring shame to herself and the Du family, she still hoped that her daughter could marry a decent bureaucratic son who was a good match for the Du family, which would make up for her regret in the past.
But now, even the third brother has changed and no longer supports her.
Then what’s the point of my persistence?
Xu Changping, who is also in charge of the local government and focuses on economic work, cannot understand his brother-in-law’s current thoughts the most.
First, he looked at Lu Yang opposite him thoughtfully.
This young man used to be so high-spirited that even when facing me, the deputy mayor, a few years ago when his business was far from being as big as it is now, he was able to remain calm and treat him equally.
Back then, even his own nephew dared to ridicule and make fun of him in front of him.
Why, today, is it so easy to give in?
Tens of millions, just invest like that?
Is it really just for the sake of his daughter?
But that’s not right either!
The real person is here. If it is true that my daughter has a special relationship with the other party, and the other party wants to please my daughter’s family, then even if he wants to curry favor with them, he should curry favor with me. How can he curry favor with my daughter’s uncle?
Considering the preceding and subsequent circumstances, he felt that there was probably some fraud involved and that things were not that simple, so he wanted to warn his brother-in-law.
But then he thought again, if his guess was right, what would happen to his daughter Siqi?
Given my wife’s personality and strong character, she would probably not listen to what her husband says, except for what her brother-in-law, her younger brother from her mother’s side, says.
At that time, if my daughter Siqi is forced to marry someone she doesn’t like and lives an unhappy life, wouldn’t it be my fault as a father?
No, no, I can’t do this.
Besides, what kind of brother-in-law is he? Even the wife who has been with me for decades looks down on me because I was born in the countryside. Can my brother-in-law, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has always been arrogant, look down on me?
If I didn’t remind him, he might not care about my presence. But if I reminded him and told him to be careful not to be deceived, he would probably think that I was jealous of him. Besides, I am Siqi’s father. The city I am in charge of, although not as good as Xingcheng, it is the capital of Hunan Province, but Heng City is also a pearl in central Hunan. Moreover, I am the mayor of a city, in charge of the city’s economy and people’s livelihood. Don’t I have more advantages than my brother-in-law, the mayor of Tianfu District?
If I opened my mouth, given my brother-in-law’s personality, he would definitely mistakenly think that I was also very interested in this huge investment of 5000 million and wanted to compete with him on behalf of Hengyang, the pearl of central Hunan.
Although I didn’t mean that, my brother-in-law would definitely not believe it. And if I opened my mouth, even my wife would probably turn her guns against me immediately and join forces with my brother-in-law to attack me as a husband.
Yes, this woman may be able to do it.
Xu Changping shook his head with a slightly bitter taste in his mouth.
That’s it.
Suppress your suspicion of the young man opposite you.
He turned and pulled his wife’s sleeve, whispering, “Qinian is in a critical period in the past one or two years. He has been the mayor of Tianfu District for several years. Given your family’s conditions, he should have been promoted in the next one or two years, but there has been no movement yet. I guess he may still lack some political achievements.
Your younger brother is a smart man. He must have considered things more thoroughly than you. Haven’t you always loved your younger brother the most?
Why are you so stupid this time?
If you want to help him, then stop talking.
If you don’t want to help him, it’s easy. Our daughter is ours. Just tell us straight out loud whether we need to take this disobedient daughter who brings shame to us home and keep her under strict supervision. Who dares to stop us?”
Xu Changping has finally made progress. It’s rare for him to be so tough in front of his wife.
But after hearing what he said, Du Yuanyuan suddenly came to her senses!
She turned around and angrily scolded him, “Xu, what on earth are you thinking?
How did my brother offend you?
Can’t you see that he is lacking political achievements right now?
An investment of 50 million!
If we forcibly take our daughter away from this guy surnamed Lu and irritate him, ruining the investment, will you compensate us?”
A trace of anger flashed across Xu Changping’s face.
Blame me?
Didn’t you say that you would take your daughter back and arrange a good marriage for her? You also said that if your daughter doesn’t obey, you would tie her up and take her to the bridal chamber, even if you had to kill her, so that she wouldn’t sneak out again and flirt with a rich married man, bringing shame to you and your Du family.
I have been advising you for a long time. Just yesterday, I advised you to stay calm today and listen to what your daughter said first. Don’t be impulsive. You didn’t listen at all. Today you even called your third brother. Now it’s very interesting. You even blame me. Didn’t you say all these words?
Xu Changping was so angry that he actually laughed.
If he had not been with his wife for decades and had not already understood her personality, he would have said these words intentionally to guide her and let her think in the favorable side of her brother-in-law. As long as he could help his wife’s brother from her mother’s side, he believed that his wife would definitely put her daughter’s lifelong affairs behind her.
Sure enough, he guessed right again.
It was quite boring. Xu Changping took several deep breaths and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Okay, you won’t let me talk, right?
Then I won’t say anything. I just hope that if your brother, Du Yuanyuan, gets cheated in the future, don’t blame me, his brother-in-law, for not reminding him. It was you, as his sister, who didn’t even give me the chance to speak.
“Boss Lu, words are not enough. How about we sign the contract when we are free?”
This is also a temptation.
Du Qinian is not a fool. How could Lu Yang take Xu Siqi away from under the noses of her parents and uncle just based on a verbal promise?
He wants a result now.
If the young man refuses, it means he is not sincere. Then Du Qinian can also go back on what he said just now. What if we are in a new society and don’t follow the will of parents and matchmaker? If we analyze it from another angle, aren’t the will of parents and matchmaker also traditions? They are all for the good of the children. Is it wrong to stick to traditions?
Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and said, “Secretary Xu, District Chief Du is a little anxious. I think it would be better if you stay and give District Chief Du two days to sign the contract.”
These two days were given to Du Qinian to unify the district government leadership team, collectively approve this investment case, and form a set of legal and compliant approval documents.
“I?”
Xu Siqi pointed at her little nose.
She couldn’t understand. She had finally escaped. How could this person be so mean? Did he want to send her back?
“Don’t want to?”
Lu Yang laughed dumbly and said, “Don’t worry, you stay. As long as you sign the contract on my behalf, your uncle won’t do anything to you. He still needs you. He has kept an eye on me for the next five years, isn’t that right?”
After saying that, he winked at the girl.
Xu Siqi suddenly realized and said a little embarrassedly: “Then I will listen to you, boss?”
Lu Yang nodded: “I still have some details to explain to you. How about this, we stay for another day.”
After saying that, he looked at Yin Mingyue beside him and said gently: “Xingcheng is a city of heroes. There are many places of interest here. How about letting Xiaoxiao accompany you to walk around in the afternoon?”
Xu Siqi, the landlady, is obviously not free this afternoon, and Lu Yang will have to give her some instructions in person later.
Yin Mingyue nodded obediently while holding the child in her arms: “Yes, it’s all right. I’ll follow my husband’s arrangements.”
She would never embarrass Lu Yang in public, and she also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene. Although she didn’t know why, she was very thoughtful and knew Lu Yang very well. Brother Lu Yang was definitely not the kind of person who would suffer in silence.
She walked towards the car holding the child in her arms, looking back every few steps, and called Xiaoxiao to follow her.
In this way, apart from Sister Xu, there will be no female relatives left at the scene. If a conflict really occurs, her husband can deal with it easily.
Of course, Lu Yang is not so stupid as to start a conflict with others on their territory.
Isn’t it just about money, fame and profit?
It’s easy, it’s easy. There’s no need to collect the net. I will take the initiative to go into the net and ask if the bait smells good.
No need to answer.
Du Qinian’s expression clearly told Lu Yang that this bait smelled so good, so damn good that he was almost drooling.
“Boss Lu said it well. Xingcheng is indeed a heroic city. There are many places of interest here, such as Yuelu Academy and Orange Island, which are often fascinating. How about this, if Madam Lu is interested, I can arrange a few guides for you for free. Also, since you plan to stay for one more day, how about I, the landlord, arrange the hotel?”
Faced with a huge investment of 5000 million.
How could Du Qinian let this cooked duck fly away?
No matter what, he has to keep a close eye on the young man opposite him today and tomorrow. As long as the contract is not signed, he will not relax, so as not to give others an opportunity to take advantage.
After saying that, he glanced at his second sister’s husband out of the corner of his eye.
Lu Yang laughed out loud: “Okay, it’s an honor.”
With Xu Siqi staying to act as a bridge between herself and the other party, everyone can feel at ease before signing the contract. After signing the contract, in order to enable herself to fulfill her promise, the other party will not force their niece anymore.
After saying this, Lu Yang even had time to nod to Xu Changping and Du Yuanyuan, the middle-aged couple sitting opposite him.
The two couples chose not to come forward to say hello, but just watched from a distance, which was exactly what he wanted.
This is also to prevent Mayor Xu from finding out that he has no sincerity in supporting this stupid “uncle” to the position.
Who the hell dares to threaten me, Lu Yang?
It is true that Lu Yang has money. Even after continuous large-scale investments in recent times, the cash on hand is no longer that much. However, the 5000 million is invested over the past five years instead of being taken out all at once. With Lu Yang’s current achievements and what he is going to do next, after five years, it will only be a mere 5 million. There is no pressure at all, right?
Lu Yang definitely dared to say that.
However, even if there is no pressure, it is better to throw the money into the sea to make a noise than to invest it in this idiot’s jurisdiction and use it to build momentum for this idiot to get promoted and make money, right?
Otherwise, wouldn’t Lu Yang become a turtle man?
Lu Yang turned around and warned Xu Siqi: “The investment can be discussed, and the 5000 million commitment can be written into the contract, but there are two points. The industrial land and commercial land are each half. The specific division is up to Party A to decide, and it must be written into the contract. As Party A, you have the right to decide when to inject capital into the project, and Party B cannot interfere in any form. The time limit is 2 years. If it exceeds 5 years, it will be regarded as a breach of contract by Party A. Party B has the right to reclaim the land and hold Party A accountable and order Party A to make compensation. If you talk like this, I believe your uncle will definitely not refuse.”
Xu Siqi said in confusion: “Boss, are you really going to invest in building a factory in Xingcheng? Isn’t this too cheap for my uncle? He is not a good person.”
After saying this, she pouted. It seemed that her mother’s younger brother really did not leave a good impression on her.
Lu Yang laughed: “Okay, stop asking questions. This will be good for you. Just do what I say.”
