The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

Chapter 550 Marriage is the tomb of love; what decent person gets married?

Shenzhen's nights remain vibrant, but the hotel suites offer a more cozy and relaxing atmosphere.

Three days after finalizing the cooperation framework with Ekaterina, Xu Yun had just finished a video conference when Su Qingya walked into the study somewhat awkwardly.

"Xu Yun..." she hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yun closed his laptop and looked at her.

Su Qingya took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, and said, "My parents... want to see you."

Xu Yun raised an eyebrow.

Su Qingyun peeked in from outside the door at this moment, her face showing the same nervousness.

"My sister already said that... Actually, after our parents heard about what happened in Tokyo, they've been wanting to meet you."

We didn't dare disturb you before because you were busy with overseas markets, but now..."

"Now that the situation has stabilized, is it time to meet the parents?"

Xu Yun smiled, stood up, walked between the two sisters, and asked, "When?"

"Tomorrow at noon."

Su Qingya said in a low voice, "They have an old house in Shenzhen, but they rarely come to stay here. This time, they flew in from abroad specifically for this purpose."

Xu Yun nodded: "Okay, I'll go."

"Aren't you nervous?" Su Qingyun asked him curiously.

What's there to be nervous about?

Xu Yun ruffled her hair and said, "It's not like we're going to negotiate, it's just meeting an elder."

Despite saying that, Xu Yun knew in his heart that this meeting was not so simple.

The Su sisters' father, Su Zhenguo, was the founder of Dingsheng Group.

Although he has been retired for five years and has handed over the management of the group entirely to his two daughters, he still retains his former prowess.

This veteran entrepreneur, who once dominated the business world, possesses a vision and experience that are unmatched by ordinary people.

More importantly, he knew everything that Dingsheng Group had recently gone through.

A hostile takeover attempt from Mitsui & Co., Ltd., a life-or-death crisis in Tokyo, and numerous obstacles in overseas markets.

I also know that my two daughters have a man named Xu Yun by their side.

At 11 a.m. the next day, in an old-fashioned villa in Luohu District, Shenzhen.

Su Zhenguo sat on the mahogany sofa, holding a financial newspaper in his hand, but didn't turn a single page.

He is 68 years old this year, his hair is completely white, but he is still upright. He is wearing a Chinese-style jacket and reading glasses, and his eyes are sharp as an eagle.

His wife, Li Shufen, sat beside him, glancing at the door every now and then, her fingers unconsciously stroking the teacup.

"Old man, don't look so stern."

Li Shufen said softly, "Qingya said that Xu Yun helped them a lot. If it weren't for him, her two daughters might not have come back from the Tokyo incident."

"I know."

Su Zhenguo said in a low voice, "But you also know what this means. Qingya and Qingyun... they're probably already in deep trouble."

Li Shufen sighed: "My daughters have grown up and have their own choices."

Besides, I've seen Xu Yun's photo; he's handsome and has an extraordinary air about him.

"A handsome and talented man?"

Su Zhenguo snorted coldly and said, "Do you know what his background is? I had someone check, and there's absolutely nothing to be found! His resume is as clean as a blank sheet of paper. This kind of talent is the most terrifying."

"But he saved his daughters' lives."

"That's why I agreed to see him."

Su Zhenguo put down the newspaper, took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, and said, "But I won't leave out a single word that needs to be said."

The sound of a car engine came from outside the door.

Li Shufen quickly stood up: "Coming, coming."

A few minutes later, the villa gate opened.

Su Qingya and Su Qingyun walked in front, while Xu Yun followed behind, carrying two beautifully packaged boxes of tea and a set of purple clay teapots.

This was suggested by the two sisters, who said their father liked to drink tea.

"Dad, Mom," Su Qingya spoke first, her voice tinged with obvious nervousness.

"Uncle, Auntie."

Xu Yun bowed slightly, placed the gift beside the coffee table, and said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation."

Su Zhenguo sized him up.

The young man in front of me looked to be in his early thirties, about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure. He was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers, with a calm demeanor and clear yet unfathomable eyes.

What Su Zhenguo cared about most was that the young man stood there without any restraint or flattery, as if he were at home.

"Have a seat," Su Zhenguo said, pointing to the sofa opposite him.

Xu Yun sat down calmly.

Su Qingya and Su Qingyun wanted to sit next to him, but their mother, Li Shufen, pulled them to the other side.

"Let your dad talk to Xu Yun."

The servant brought tea.

A brief silence fell over the living room, broken only by the clinking of teacups.

"Qingya told me that you saved them in Tokyo this time," Su Zhenguo finally spoke, getting straight to the point.

"It was just a coincidence," Xu Yun said calmly.

"happen?"

Su Zhenguo stared at him and said, "Miyamoto Kenichi of Mitsui Co., Ltd. is not someone to be trifled with."

It wasn't by chance that you were able to bring him back safely from him.

Xu Yun smiled but didn't reply.

"What do you do?" Su Zhenguo asked again.

"I do some consulting and security work," Xu Yun replied vaguely.

"Consulting and security..."

Su Zhenguo repeated himself, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said meaningfully, "I've investigated you, but I can't find anything."

People with this kind of background are either truly ordinary people, or…

He paused, then lowered his voice and said, "Or it's someone who shouldn't have been investigated."

Xu Yun met his gaze: "Uncle Su, what kind of person do you think I am?"

The two stared at each other, and the air seemed to freeze.

Su Qingya's palms were sweating with nervousness, and Su Qingyun almost stood up, but her mother held her down.

After a long silence, Su Zhenguo suddenly laughed: "Good, you have guts. Qingya and Qingyun have good taste."

These words stunned the two sisters.

"Dad?" Su Qingya called out tentatively.

Su Zhenguo waved his hand: "I've met many people in my life. Some people are glamorous on the surface but empty inside; some people are unremarkable in appearance but are true dragons."

Xu Yun…

He looked at Xu Yun with a complicated expression and said, "I don't know who you really are, but I know you're not an ordinary person."

Qingya told me about the situation in Tokyo and the overseas markets.

"You deserve immense credit for Dingsheng Group's ability to weather this crisis and open the door to the Eastern European market."

“It’s what I should do,” Xu Yun said.

"What should be done?"

Su Zhenguo sighed and said, "In this world, nothing is 'should be done'."

You're willing to do it because of them.

He looked at his two daughters, his eyes filled with love and reluctance, and said, "Qingya, Qingyun, come here."

The two sisters walked to their father's side.

Su Zhenguo, holding one of his daughters in each hand, said to Xu Yun, "My two daughters have always been strong-willed since they were little."

Qingya started doing business with me when she was sixteen, and Qingyun got her first patent when she was eighteen.

I handed the group over to them partly because I'm getting old, and partly because they are truly capable.

"but……"

His voice choked with emotion as he said, "What a father worries about most is his daughter being wronged."

The business world is like a battlefield. I've seen all the hardships they've endured over the years, and it pains me deeply.

Li Shufen's eyes also reddened.

"Xu Yun".

Su Zhenguo looked at him solemnly and said, "I don't care who you are or what your background is, I only ask you for one thing."

Treat them well.

They chose you; that's their decision, and I respect it.

But please...don't make them sad.

Xu Yun stood up, walked to Su Zhenguo, and bowed deeply, saying, "Uncle Su, I promise you."

"It's not a promise."

Su Zhenguo shook his head and said, "Yes, I agreed to their request."

He released his daughter's hand, stood up, patted Xu Yun's shoulder, and whispered, "I know that someone like you can't belong to just one person."

Qingya and Qingyun both followed you; this was their choice.

I don't ask for titles or ceremonies, I only ask that you treat them sincerely and give them a... good outcome.

These words were spoken very softly, so that only Xu Yun could hear them.

Xu Yun looked into his aged yet still sharp eyes and nodded solemnly: "I will."

"well……"

Su Zhenguo's eyes reddened as he turned and walked towards the study, saying, "I'm a little tired. You two talk."

Li Shufen quickly followed.

Only Xu Yun and her two sisters remained in the living room.

Su Qingya threw herself into Xu Yun's arms, her voice choked with sobs, "My dad... he's never spoken to anyone so humbly before."

Su Qingyun hugged him back, tears streaming down her face: "Xu Yun, don't let us down."

Xu Yun held the two girls in his arms, feeling their bodies trembling, and whispered, "No, never."

That noon, the family had a meal together.

At the dinner table, Su Zhenguo did not discuss any more heavy topics, but instead asked about the specific plans for the Eastern European market.

Xu Yun answered each question clearly and logically, offering unique insights.

Li Shufen kept serving food to Xu Yun, becoming more and more satisfied with what she saw.

After dinner, Xu Yun played two games of chess with Su Zhenguo.

One win and one loss, just right.

As he was leaving, Su Zhenguo saw him to the door and suddenly said, "Xu Yun, come to my house often when you have time... there will always be a place for you."

That's already made very clear.

Xu Yun bowed again and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

On the way back to the hotel, the two sisters leaned on Xu Yun on either side, their emotions somewhat complicated.

"My dad... he's really getting old."

Su Qingya said softly, "He would never have said such things before."

"He has truly entrusted us to you."

Su Qingyun gripped Xu Yun's hand tightly and said, "Xu Yun, you must remember what you promised."

"I will remember."

Looking at the street scene rushing past the car window, Xu Yun replied, "I'll remember it for the rest of my life."

After spending another week in Shenzhen and making preliminary arrangements for the Eastern European market, Xu Yun decided to return to Jiangcheng.

Catherine has returned to Moscow and begun preparations for establishing preliminary channels.

The Su sisters remained in Shenzhen to continue handling the branch office's affairs.

Their cooperation with the Russian side requires a lot of preparatory work and will take at least another month.

The night before departure, in a hotel suite.

"Are you sure you don't want us to see you off?" Su Qingya asked as she helped Xu Yun pack his luggage.

"No need, you all go about your business."

Xu Yun put the last shirt into the suitcase and said, "Lin Wanzhou has something to take care of, I need to go back and deal with it."

"What's wrong?" Su Qingyun asked curiously.

"It's a private matter." Xu Yun smiled and didn't say more.

The two sisters exchanged a glance but didn't ask any further questions.

They knew that there were some things Xu Yun couldn't say, but they believed that Xu Yun would naturally tell them what he needed to know.

The next morning, Xu Yunfei returned to Jiangcheng.

Lin Wanzhou called as soon as I got off the plane.

"Xu Yun, are you back?" Lin Wanzhou's voice sounded strange, like she was nervous, but also excited.

"Just landed, what happened?"

"Um... could you come to my house? I've got something I want to talk to you about." Lin Wanzhou paused and added, "Yanran is here too."

Xu Yun raised an eyebrow: "Okay, I'll go over now."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yun took a taxi directly to Lin Wanzhou's residence.

It's a mid-range apartment in Jiangcheng, a three-bedroom, two-living-room unit that Lin Wanzhou bought a few years ago with the money she had saved up over the years.

Now that I have money, I haven't moved.

After knocking, Wang Yanran opened the door.

She was wearing loose loungewear, with a faint blush on her face. When she saw Xu Yun, she smiled shyly and said, "Brother Xu Yun, come in."

In the living room, Lin Wanzhou sat on the sofa, holding a report in her hand, her expression complicated.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yun walked over and sat down.

Lin Wanzhou took a deep breath, handed the report to Xu Yun, and smiled, "Take a look."

Xu Yun took it; it was a hospital pregnancy test report. Name: Wang Yanran.

Diagnosis: Early pregnancy, approximately 6 weeks.

Xu Yun was stunned and looked up at the two of them.

Wang Yanran lowered her head, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes.

Lin Wanzhou looked at him nervously.

"This is……"

Xu Yun put down the report and smiled, "That's great news, congratulations!"

"Really?"

Lin Wanzhou said happily, "But don't you think... it's too fast? We've only been together for a short time."

"Feelings have nothing to do with the length of time."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "You two like each other, and now you have a child, which is a joyous occasion."

What, you don't want it?

"Of course not!"

Wang Yanran quickly looked up and denied it, saying, "We want it! It's just... it's just a bit sudden, and we don't know what to do."

Lin Wanzhou nodded and said, "Our parents are both gone, and we don't have any relatives. We don't know anything about marriage."

Xu Yun understood.

He looked at the two of them and asked gently, "So, you're planning to get married?"

"Ah."

Lin Wanzhou held Wang Yanran's hand and said, "Now that we have a child, we have to take responsibility. I want to give Yanran a home and the child a proper status."

Wang Yanran's eyes reddened as she leaned on his shoulder.

"What do you need me to do?" Xu Yun asked directly.

Lin Wanzhou said somewhat embarrassedly, "We'd like to ask you to help us choose an auspicious date, and also..."

We don't know anything about wedding arrangements. Could Yu Xuan help us with the arrangements? We know she's very busy, but..."

"no problem."

Xu Yun readily agreed, "I'll talk to Yu Xuan about it."

"As for the date, I know an old gentleman who is very knowledgeable about the Chinese almanac; I'll take you there tomorrow."

"Really?"

Wang Yanran stood up excitedly and said, "Thank you, Brother Xu Yun!"

"You're welcome."

Xu Yun waved her hand and said, "I'm happy that you two can get together. As for the wedding, just make your requests, and Yu Xuan will take care of it."

He thought for a moment, then said, "As for the cost..."

"We'll cover the costs ourselves!"

Lin Wanzhou quickly replied, "I've saved up some money over the years, enough for a simple wedding."

"Simple what?"

Xu Yun glared at him and laughed, "My brother's wedding can't be simple. Don't worry about the expenses, I'll take care of them."

"No, no, this is too..."

"Listen to me."

Xu Yun interrupted him, saying, "Just consider it a gift I'm giving to my future godson or goddaughter."

Lin Wanzhou opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't refuse. The straightforward man's eyes just reddened: "Thank you."

"No need to thank me."

Xu Yun patted his shoulder and laughed, "Come on, I'm happy today, let's go out for a nice meal."

That evening, Xu Yun invited Yu Xuan to his home.

Yu Xuan has been busy with the establishment of her new company recently.

Xu Yun had previously asked her to integrate some resources in preparation for entering the cultural and entertainment industry.

However, she rushed over immediately after receiving Xu Yun's call.

"Boss, what's the rush?" Yu Xuan was dressed in a business suit, clearly having just come from the company.

Xu Yun poured her a glass of water and told her about Lin Wanzhou and Wang Yanran.

Yu Xuan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said, "This is great news! Brother Lin and Sister Yanran have finally settled down."

Leave the wedding to me, I guarantee it will be a spectacular success.

That's exactly what I meant.

Xu Yun said, "Go ahead and do whatever you want, make it as grand as you can."

"clear."

Yu Xuan took out her phone and started taking notes, then asked, "When? When are you planning to hold it?"

"I'll take them to see the date tomorrow, probably within a month."

You should start preparing the preliminary work first.

The venue, emcee, wedding planning company, wedding attire, and banquet—all of these must be the best.

"no problem."

Yu Xuan smiled confidently and said, "I know the owner of the best wedding planning company in Jiangcheng, and I also know the manager of the five-star hotel."

but……"

She paused, then asked, "How large should it be? Who should we hire?"

Xu Yun thought for a moment and said, "Old Lin and Yanran are both orphans and don't have many relatives, so you should bring more people over to make it more fun."

For example, you'd be responsible for contacting Su Mu and others, and getting the employees from several companies to come over.

"So many people?"

"What's there to be afraid of? We just want a lively atmosphere."

Xu Yun said, "In addition, prepare another guest list and invite some prominent people who have business dealings with us."

Yu Xuan understood.

Xu Yun was trying to support Lin Wanzhou.

"I see."

She nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely handle this perfectly."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xu Yun said, "If the new company is too busy, we'll hire a few more people."

"It's okay, I can manage both."

Yu Xuan smiled and said, "Besides, I'm happy to have a wedding."

The two discussed some more details, and Yu Xuan stayed with Xu Yun until late at night before finally falling asleep.

the next day.

Xu Yun took Lin Wanzhou and Wang Yanran to see the old gentleman who was knowledgeable about the Chinese almanac.

The old gentleman, surnamed Chen, was over eighty years old, in good spirits, and lived in a small courtyard in the old town of Jiangcheng.

Xu Yun had helped him with something many years ago, and the two had kept in touch ever since.

After reviewing Lin Wanzhou and Wang Yanran's birth dates and inquiring about their due dates, Mr. Chen flipped through the thick almanac and finally selected three dates.

"The 28th of this month, the 8th of next month, or the 18th of next month are all auspicious days."

Mr. Chen said, "The 28th is the closest, but the preparation time is tight. The 8th and 18th are more flexible. You can choose for yourselves."

Lin Wanzhou and Wang Yanran discussed it and finally chose the 8th of next month.

There was enough time to prepare, and the date was auspicious.

"Then it's settled, October 8th," Xu Yun decided.

After leaving Mr. Chen's house, Lin Wanzhou visibly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you so much. We really wouldn't know what to do without you."

"Now you know what to do?" Xu Yun said with a smile.

"understood!"

Lin Wanzhou held Wang Yanran's hand tightly and smiled, "Next, we just need to prepare well to welcome our child."

Wang Yanran touched her belly, which wasn't showing yet, and her face was filled with a happy smile.

For the next two weeks, Jiangcheng was both peaceful and busy.

Yu Xuan was indeed exceptionally capable, managing everything from wedding planning companies and hotels to custom-made dresses and jewelry perfectly.

Lin Wanzhou and Wang Yanran only need to appear when needed, to try on dresses, confirm menus, and take wedding photos.

Xu Yun was busy handling some of his own affairs.

Although he said he wouldn't interfere with the company's business during that time, the Su sisters in Shenzhen would video chat with him every day to report on the progress of the Eastern European market.

Good news also came from Ekaterina: preliminary surveys in Belarus and Kazakhstan have been completed, and the local governments are very interested in the new energy projects.

Occasionally, he would check on the wedding preparations of Lin Wanzhou and her husband.

Su Mu, Li Jinshu, Jian Shiwei, and others also went to help when they had time.

On October 3rd, five days before the wedding, Su Qingya and Su Qingyun returned from Shenzhen.

The two sisters went straight to Xu Yun's residence in Jiangcheng Tiandi as soon as they got off the plane.

"worn out--"

As soon as Su Qingyun entered the door, she collapsed onto the sofa and said, "This past month has been absolutely unbearable. I've been sleeping less than five hours a day."

Su Qingya also looked tired, but her eyes were bright.

"However, the results are quite remarkable. We have obtained access permits from three Eastern European countries and selected two factory sites."

Ekaterina was indeed very efficient; many procedures were streamlined.

Xu Yun poured them water and said, "You've worked hard. Take a good rest for a few days after the wedding."

"How are the preparations for Brother Lin's wedding going?" Su Qingya asked.

"Yu Xuan is handling it, so it should be fine."

Xu Yun asked, "Are your formal attire ready?"

"It's all ready. I booked it in Shenzhen."

Su Qingyun sat up and said, "Oh, right, we also prepared gifts for Wanzhou and Yanran. We'll give them to them tomorrow."

What gift?

"A set of furniture for the wedding room."

Su Qingya smiled and said, "Wanzhou's house was a bit old, so we had someone redesign it and replaced all the furniture. It's a token of our appreciation."

Xu Yun nodded: "They will definitely like it."

Su Qingyun looked at Xu Yun and suddenly asked, "Xu Yun, what are your thoughts after seeing Wanzhou and the others get married?"

That question came out of the blue.

Xu Yun was silent for a few seconds, then smiled: "My feeling is that it's good to see the people around me happy."

Su Qingya and Su Qingyun exchanged a glance but remained silent.

They understood what Xu Yun meant.

He won't get married, at least not now.

But they didn't mind. Just like their father said, they didn't seek any official title, only a good outcome.

This is enough.

October 8th, at the best five-star hotel in Jiangcheng.

The wedding took place as scheduled.

Yu Xuan indeed held a grand event.

The banquet hall was beautifully decorated, with flowers, lights, and music; every detail was impeccable.

More than 200 guests attended, including Lin Wanzhou and Wang Yanran's colleagues and friends, as well as Su Mu, Ning Qian, Liang Yan, and other female employees of Xu Yun's company.

Even many prominent figures in Jiangcheng came because of Xu Yun's influence.

The Su twin sisters, dressed in carefully chosen gowns—one elegant and the other charming—became one of the most eye-catching sights at the wedding.

Of course, the other women were in no way inferior.

Xu Yun, dressed in a formal suit, stood on the stage as the officiant.

"Today, I am very happy to stand here to witness the wedding of my brother Lin Wanzhou and his beloved Wang Yanran."

Xu Yun's voice echoed throughout the banquet hall through the microphone as he said, "I haven't known Wan Zhou for very long, only about two years at most."

But we are really good brothers, and I'm very happy to see him find his own happiness.

Lin Wanzhou's eyes were red with tears.

"Yanran is a good girl—kind, gentle, and strong. It's fate, and destiny, that brought her and Wanzhou together."

Xu Yun continued, "Today, they made a promise here to walk hand in hand through life."

As their friend, I sincerely wish them well.

May you cherish each other through thick and thin, grow old together, and may your children grow up healthy and your family be filled with happiness and fulfillment.

There was thunderous applause.

Lin Wanzhou and Wang Yanran exchanged rings, embraced, and kissed.

At that moment, everyone could feel the love and happiness between them.

After the wedding ceremony, the banquet began.

Lin Wanzhou and Wang Yanran went from table to table toasting, their faces always bearing smiles.

Xu Yun sat at the main table, surrounded by women, all of them stunningly beautiful.

There are Zhong Yanyan, Fu Baoying, Su Mu, the Su sisters, Li Jinshu, Jiang Peiyao, Ning Qian, Song Xiaowei, Yang Siqi, Liang Yan, Xinuo, Jian Shiwei, Lin Suiling, and Ou Jingya.

If we're talking about who wasn't there, it would be Lee Young-ae in South Korea, Haruka Ayase in Japan, and Wang Yang from Guizhou.

"Your good brother is already married, when are you getting married?" Zhong Yanyan, sitting to Xu Yun's right, suddenly teased him with a smile.

She was probably the only one in the entire room who dared to say that.

Upon hearing this, the women at the table all looked at Xu Yun meaningfully, their smiles radiating warmth.

"Forehead……"

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xu Yun spread his hands and said, "Marriage is the tomb of love. Who gets married anyway?" (End of Chapter)
