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

The noise in the banquet hall paused briefly due to Lu Yang's forceful intervention. A glint of light flashed in Old Master Qian's cloudy eyes. He tapped his withered fingers lightly on the armrest of his wheelchair twice and suddenly smiled, "Mr. Lu is very thoughtful. Since it is a private gift, it should naturally be viewed in private."

He raised his hand to signal his clansmen to step back, but his gaze swept meaningfully over Qian Feng's ashen face.

Qian Youyou finally loosened her grip on the jade bracelet box and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But when Lu Yang turned around, he made a "three" gesture to her brother Xiao Jun, which meant that he needed three pairs of jade bracelets like these.

Xiao Jun's eyelids twitched, and he cursed inwardly that this bastard was indeed trying to raise the price on the spot.

But what can you do when President Lu has so much influence?
For him, this was a huge problem.

They took care of it with just a word.

Moreover, not a single member of the Qian clan dared to step forward and offend the young CEO Lu.

Lu Yang's high profile.

Qian Youyou stared at him intently for several moments.

He opened his mouth as if to speak.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

It's not very convenient with so many people around now. I'll wait until we're all alone and find a quiet opportunity to ask him.

It turns out that Qian Youyou was already suspicious.

Lu Yang already knows.

Her brother just took this guy out, and the two of them didn't come back for quite a while, one after the other.

Given her brother's character...

She was convinced that they had definitely sold her out.

For a moment, she blushed and two red blushes appeared on her face.

She didn't dare look at Lu Yang anymore.

Fortunately, at that moment, music started playing. To the tune of "Happy Birthday," the mother, dressed in a navy blue cheongsam, slowly walked into the banquet hall, pushing a six-tiered cake.

Everyone was busy paying their respects.

They went to applaud.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Quietly stepping back, she made way for her father in the wheelchair and gave her place to her mother.

They came up to Lu Yang.

She whispered, "Thank you for helping my brother out of that situation."

Lu Yang returned her a meaningful look.

Then she whispered, "You only represent your brother?"

"What about yourself?"

"Don't you need to thank me?"

Qian Youyou was taken aback by his question and looked at him strangely, saying, "Why should I be grateful to you?"

Her eyes held a hint of hostility.

They clearly misunderstood Lu Yang, thinking he was bringing up the topic of "borrowing sperm to have a child".

But she really misunderstood Lu Yang.

Lu Yang hadn't thought that way. The "sperm donation" thing hadn't happened yet, and they hadn't even discussed it. There was no need for this girl to be grateful to him. But the time he stepped in just now helped more than just that kid Xiao Jun.

It's obvious they're after her. Her brother is just a scapegoat, a cannon fodder before the main target. They have to take out the cannon fodder first before they can strike at the heart of the enemy and finally take down the main target.

That's why he made his move.

By scaring people away and solving Xiao Jun's problem, wouldn't that also be doing her a huge favor?
Don't want to admit it?

Lu Yang looked at her arrogantly and said, "If you don't want to thank me, that's fine too. The birthday banquet isn't over yet, and there will definitely be people who take the opportunity to cause trouble for you later. Do you believe that?" He shook his head and looked at her regretfully, saying, "However, because someone refuses to thank me, I won't help you anymore."

Qian Youyou then understood what Lu Yang meant by "apology".

She pressed one hand to her chest.

Taking a deep breath, she blushed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I misunderstood you. I apologize."

After saying that, he waited for Lu Yang's reaction and then bowed to him.

Then lift your head up.

She stretched out her small hand, each finger as slender as a fountain pen, slightly parted, and placed it between the two of them.

What is this for?
Lu Yang frowned twice, and only after meeting her gaze did he realize what was going on.

Is this a handshake?

Without hesitation, Lu Yang followed suit, extending his large hand to grasp the other person's soft little hand.

He pinched it subtly.

Then, almost splitting his legs with laughter, he said, "We're all old friends, so this kind of handshake isn't necessary, is it?"

Qian Youyou raised an eyebrow.

She withdrew her hand with a slight look of disdain, wiped it behind her back, and looked at him sarcastically, saying, "Some people, if I'm not polite to them, they think I'm impolite; if I'm polite to them now, they think I'm not treating them as friends. Mr. Lu, could you please ask him for me what he really wants?"

They said they weren't angry.

They even went so far as to call a monk a bald donkey.

Lu Yang thought to himself, "This girl is playful, but I didn't realize she had such a fiery temper!"

He would thank them, but once they actually thanked him, he would no longer consider them a friend and would become polite to them.

He, on the contrary, felt a little uncomfortable.

So he couldn't help but mutter, "You're such a jerk. I was talking about myself. If you don't want to thank me, then don't. I didn't say you had to. Can't I even make a joke? Do you have to pretend we're not close? We might have a chance to be each other's kids' father and mother someday, hehe..."

He swallowed unconsciously.

Qian Youyou didn't hear clearly, but she had a feeling that this person was definitely not saying anything nice. Just the way he swallowed was lewd enough, so she couldn't help but question him, "What did you say?"

Lu Yang glanced around at her, his expression strange, and said, "Are you sure you want me to say it out loud?"

Girl, you have such courage! Even I'm not that brave. Come on, if you nod, I promise to announce it to everyone.

Qian Youyou's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, and she glared at him fiercely: "I told you to speak loudly, not to tell everyone. Keep your voice down, just tell me."

As she spoke, she stamped her foot in frustration.

Lu Yang rolled his eyes at her: "You tell me to speak loudly one minute and softly the next, so should I speak loudly or softly?"

He shook his head, his face full of sighs. "Sigh, women are just troublesome, pretentious, inexplicable, and nonsensical."

Qian Youyou stared at him wide-eyed, her face full of disbelief: "Are you a person? If you were a person, how could you say something like that?"

What should have been a simple matter was complicated by this person, making her want to vomit blood and also want to strangle him.

Lu Yang was startled by her gaze and took two steps back before saying guiltily, "Hey, don't do anything reckless. If you dare to do anything reckless, I'll call for help. These are all your clansmen around here. You don't want them to see you in an indecent state, do you?"

Just look at that wronged little expression.

To the uninformed, just by listening to his voice, one might think he was the wronged young wife, while Qian Youyou, with her pair of straight and beautiful legs, seemed to be the abuser.

Qian Youyou was dumbfounded. She looked around nervously and saw that some of her clansmen had already noticed the two of them, and she looked surprised and suspicious.

So he couldn't stand it.

She grabbed Lu Yang's hand and ran out of the banquet hall, shouting, "Come out with me!" (End of Chapter)
