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

"Sister Mingzhu, I have some bad news to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I...I didn't take the train this afternoon. I'm still in Xincheng."

After going upstairs and returning to her room, Xu Siqi took the time to call Yin Mingzhu who was far away in Beijing before taking a shower.

She at this time.

There was a hint of apology on his face, but at the same time he felt inexplicably flustered.

"What happened?"

"Ah."

"Your problem? Or his problem?"

"I... No, it's the boss. He assigned me another task and said I should wait a few days to observe. Maybe he will still send me to the capital."

Yin Mingzhu's voice did not come from the phone for a long time.

Xu Siqi took a deep breath and whispered, "Sister Mingzhu, don't think too much. The boss really has something for me to do. Wait a few days..."

"no need."

"What?"

"I said no, I won't bother you anymore, I'll just come over."

If the mountain doesn’t come to me, then I will go to the mountain.

Yin Mingzhu is preparing to come to Star City.

She was a straightforward person and wanted to find Lu Yang in person to find out why he suddenly went back on his word after agreeing to something.

Don't ask clearly.

She couldn't even sleep at night.

"Well, that's fine."

After Xu Siqi hung up the phone, she slapped herself twice in the face. "You're so stupid. Aren't you usually very good at talking? You even dare to fight with your own mother. Why are you so bad at talking when you meet Sister Mingzhu? Could it be that she suspects you of playing tricks and ruining the interview she had scheduled with that stinky boss?"

She muttered to herself, looking frustrated.

She had done nothing wrong but was still suspected by her best friend, which made her feel more wronged than Dou E.

"Humph!"

"Stinky boss."

"It's all your fault. Is it so difficult to draw up a contract yourself?"

"But the boss said he wanted to observe further. What exactly did he want to observe?"

"Could it be that the boss wants to privatize Wanyan Company?"

"No, no, Mr. Jiang will definitely not agree. He has a lot of complaints against the boss. There were already signs of a falling out. This time the boss has also bought out Mr. Mou's shares and has completely become the company's largest shareholder. Mr. Jiang will probably be furious. However, accepting an interview with the CCTV program team is beneficial to the entire company and will greatly help increase the company's visibility. This is more useful than spending money on advertising. Mr. Jiang won't be so unwise, will he?"

She tilted her head and thought for a long time.

"Forget it, I'd better go take a shower."

She pouted.

My head hurts if I think about it for too long.

Anyway, the company doesn't belong to her. It belongs to that stinky boss and that Mr. Jiang. They can do whatever they want. As a mere employee, why should I care about the bosses?
"Alas, if this interview really fails, I'm afraid Sister Mingzhu will no longer like me. She will definitely feel alienated from me."

"Oh, I'm so unlucky!"

She took off all her clothes, and even after she walked into the bathroom, her whole body was covered with bubbles, she was still mumbling to herself.

"boom."

Du Yuanyuan, who was in the lobby downstairs, smashed a water cup in her hand.

A gloomy face.

Staring at the open door of the villa.

At this time, her biological sister Du Lingling had already walked far away.

Even the car outside the gate had already driven away.

But she's still angry!
She raised her head and glanced upstairs. Seeing that there was no movement upstairs and her daughter had not come down from the shower yet, she lowered her head, took out the cell phone in her bag, and called Xu Changping who was working in Hengyang.

"The surname Xu..."

"What?"

Mayor Xu's emotionless voice came from the other end of the phone.

Du Yuanyuan took a deep breath, trying to hide the anger on her face and said, "I have something to ask you."

"Then tell me."

"Sisi is your daughter. You only have this one daughter. She is already quite old. Do you... do you want to watch her waste her time day by day? If you delay any further, she will become an old maid. I tell you, Mr. Xu."

"Humph! You sound better when you talk than when you sing. So what do you want to do?"

"Of course, I'll find her a suitable family."

"Isn't that right? I'm afraid it's for your own future? Or is it your second brother who is making trouble again?"

"How could you doubt me so much?"

Du Yuanyuan almost screamed and covered her mouth with her hands. The anger on her face could not be expressed in words. She angrily swept away everything on the coffee table in the living room. The teapot, teacups, magazines, and cordless landline phone were all knocked to the ground.

She yelled into the phone: "I'm her mother, would I hurt her?"

"It's not important. What's important is what my daughter thinks. If she wants to get married, then let her get married. If she doesn't want to, then I'm willing to support her."

Apart from the crackling sounds of things being thrown around, Xu Changping on the phone seemed very calm and composed.

"You...you are totally unreasonable. You shouldn't be a father like this."

He yelled into the phone again.

Du Yuanyuan hung up the phone angrily. She couldn't communicate with this man and she didn't want to talk anymore. It would be a waste of time to continue.

If it was 10 years ago, no, even if it was three years ago, if Xu dared to talk to her like this, she would have scolded him to death, saying that he was a traitor. If it weren't for the Du family, how could his career have been so smooth?

But things are different now.

Xu Changping, who had been wandering around and only served as a deputy, started to turn his luck around in 1989. He served successively as the deputy mayor of Baoqing City in charge of economy, the executive deputy mayor of Hengshan City, and the acting mayor. In the first half of this year, even the word "acting" was removed from his title. Although there is only one word difference, there is a world of difference.

The value of "Mrs. Xu" is increasing day by day.

Until now, she no longer dared to mention the Du family's kindness to the other party, because there was no such thing as charity. The word divorce was often on her lips in the past, but now she no longer mentioned it. Although she was angry, the four words "mayor's wife" were really nice!
She hung up the phone on her husband in anger.

Du Yuanyuan raised her head and glanced at her daughter's room upstairs. After thinking for a while, she prepared to go upstairs and have a good talk with her daughter.

...It was the same night.

At Wanyan Company, the general manager's office is brightly lit.

With documents clenched in one hand and the receiver of a landline phone in the other, Jiang Wanli's finger joints turned white and veins popped out on the back of his hand. The neon light outside the glass window pierced into the room, casting his profile in half light and half dark. His Adam's apple rolled rapidly several times, and finally he squeezed out a series of hoarse sneers: "I know, it's rare that you still thought of notifying me. Should I thank you, Mr. Lu?"

"That's not necessary. This is just routine work. But don't worry, the company is still under your control. Don't have any extra thoughts. Just do your own thing."

"is it?"

Jiang Wanli gritted his teeth.

"At least now..."

Jiang Wanli took a deep breath, his knuckles paler than before. He looked up at the neon lights outside the window, then looked at the nameplate of the general manager on the desk, nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu. I will work hard and will definitely not let you down."

He said this through gritted teeth.

Even Lu Yang on the other side could hear it, but he didn't take it seriously. "I'm glad that Mr. Jiang thinks this way, but I don't know..."

Jiang Wanli interrupted him and asked, "Mr. Lu, are you referring to the interview with the CCTV program team?"

Lu Yang was not annoyed, "That's right, Mr. Jiang, have you thought it through?"

Jiang Wanli said: "I have thought about it, I agree."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "I thought you would need to think about it for a few more days."

Jiang Wanli smiled coldly and said, "Why should I consider it? Shouldn't I do things that are beneficial to the company? Or are you waiting for me to make a mistake, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yang laughed in silence: "It seems that I misunderstood Mr. Jiang. I apologize."

Jiang Wanli sneered, "No need to apologize, I can't afford it. But I also want to remind Mr. Lu that Wanyan Company was founded by me, and I will not watch it fall into the hands of others. Whoever wants to take it away, I will definitely be rude to him. Also, please don't interfere in the company's affairs in the future."

Lu Yang on the other side: "Okay, I agree."

Finally, there was no emotion in the voice.

Jiang Wanli took a deep breath and said with a pale face: "I hope you can do what you say. If the company doesn't do well, it's my responsibility and I will be responsible for it. But if you, Lu Yang, insist on intervening, and eventually the company's future is uncertain or even loses money, I will definitely investigate it to the end. If there is nothing else, Mr. Lu, can I hang up now?"

It can be seen that he is in a bad mood at the moment.

Just yesterday.

The two of them even ate a midnight snack together, arm in arm.

But now, we are going the opposite way and we can't even be friends anymore.

In fact, it was not just Jiang Wanli who was in a bad mood. Lu Yang was also in a bad mood at the moment.

but……

Unlike Jiang Wanli, he now has a beautiful woman to comfort him.

After Du Yun drove away from his second sister's villa, he just drove around outside the community, then drove back to the community again and picked up Lu Yang outside the gate of this high-end community.

Because there are guests at home.

Mou Qizhong is still sleeping in Lu Yang's villa today. He has booked a flight to Hailan tomorrow. No, it should be said that he has booked a flight for tomorrow.

It was impossible for Lu Yang to take Du Lingling home at this time, so he had to let Du Lingling drive to pick him up and spend the night at Du Lingling's house.

At this point there were already traces of a battle.

Du Lingling, with her head resting on Lu Yang's arm and her body leaning sideways, snuggled in his arms, was staring at Lu Yang while he was talking on the phone.

It’s over.

She smiled and said, "Boss Lu is really domineering. It seems that he has regarded Wanyan Company as his own. I really admire him."

Although this statement was somewhat sarcastic, it was not wrong. Lu Yang was indeed quite domineering just now.

Even Jiang Wanli on the other end of the phone could definitely feel the pressure he was putting on him.

What's more, there is a woman right next to him.

Lu Yang threw the phone back onto the bedside table, then lifted Du Lingling's chin and said, "Woman, I have a more domineering side. Do you want to learn from me?"

Du Lingling chuckled: "I'm glad to learn from you. I'm just afraid that I'm just trying to show off."

She reached out to grab it.

Lu Yang smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business. What do you think of Jiang Wanli?"

"Humph! You're talking about something else."

Du Lingling curled her lips, took back her hand and said, "What can I see? I'm not familiar with him, so I should ask you. You have invested a lot of money in this Wanyan Company, right? The total amount is only less than the billion-dollar building you invested in. He is so hostile to you now. If he ruins the company in the future, you'd better be careful not to lose all your money."

Lu Yang nodded: "His character is still acceptable, but he is stubborn and has a bad temper. He can't listen to advice. He relies on his good skills and almost treats the entire Wanyan Company as his own one-man show.

If his decisions were always good, then I would have no objection, after all, the purpose of investing is to make money. But the bad thing is that many of his decisions are actually unreliable, do you understand?

I had the illusion that I was watching him drag the company into the abyss. No, it was not an illusion, but something that was bound to happen. In fact, I had no choice. If I didn’t want the company to close down, I had to bring him down.”

Du Lingling asked doubtfully, "Are you so sure about the future?"

Of course, Lu Yang couldn't tell her that he was reborn, so he laughed dumbly: "That's right, how can the future be certain? It seems that what I have done will not only confuse you, but also other people. But it doesn't matter, just think that I, Lu, am really optimistic about this Wanyan company, so I am trying every possible means to plot against it. Haha, it's nothing, businessmen pursue profits, isn't it?"

Du Lingling felt sorry for him and said, "I'd rather choose to believe that you really don't think highly of Jiang Wanli. He's a science and engineering guy with a technical background. What does he know about managing a company? You, you have no reason to be modest even if you have to take on the responsibility."

She drew circles on Lu Yang's chest with her fingers.

Lu Yang held her in his arms and said with some emotion: "You are so nice."

"Then let's get practical."

"No, I just want to hug you."

After being busy for nearly an hour, Lu Yang soon fell asleep.

Stare at his face.

Du Lingling looked at it for a long time, and finally sighed and slowly closed her eyes.

Don't blame her for being harsh on this man.

It's not that she is coquettish.

But the nights before her eyes would become fewer and fewer as time went by. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, but no more than half a month, the sleeping little man in front of her would definitely leave her, Du Lingling.

By then, the one sleeping next to him will be another woman.

She is his legal wife.

she?
She will never be able to show up in public, and can only wait silently for this little man to remember her.

unconsciously.

A tear rolled down the corner of Du Lingling's eye as she slept.
