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

"It's all your fault."

"Why are you blaming me again?"

"If you hadn't ripped my pants, would I have taken this long? And what kind of pants did you find for me? They're so baggy!"

"I'm 1.86 meters tall, and you're 1.72 meters tall. My pants will definitely be too big for you, isn't that obvious?"

"Damn it, if someone recognizes you, I'll kill you."

"Then you might as well kill me. There's no way you can hide it anymore. We're wearing the same style of pants right now, exactly the same."

"You...you're driving me crazy! Don't you know I keep an extra set of women's clothes in your car?"

Is Lu Yang sick?
Keeping women's clothing in your car?
He has a habit of keeping some frequently changed clothes in his car so he can change into them anytime, disguise himself, or even travel for work.

But that's not a reason for him to prepare women's clothing in advance, is it?
The two of them went downstairs together.

They argued the whole way.

Considering that the girl's father had vomited blood and they didn't know what was going on, and that a banquet might be held, Lu Yang had to tolerate the girl's temper tantrums when she was in a bad mood.

That is why.

Qian Youyou had calmed down considerably and no longer felt the panic and anxiety she had when she first received the call upstairs.

She took a deep breath.

Just as they were about to push open the banquet hall door.

Turning her head, she found Lu Yang standing right next to her. Looking down at her own baggy pants, which were the same as his, like matching couple outfits, she frowned and pleaded in a low voice, "Could you... could you step back a little?"

"But don't misunderstand."

"I... I just really don't have the mood to listen to other people's gossip right now."

Lu Yang was taken aback upon hearing this.

It obediently moved to the side and away from the gate area.

He even nodded encouragingly at her.

I didn't cause her any trouble at this time.

Qian Youyou's eyes were also filled with gratitude. She nodded to him and then pushed open the vermilion door with all her might.

At this moment, the inside was in complete chaos.

Qian Youyou glanced over and saw only a chaotic mess of clansmen.

And her mother.

Her mother was blocking her father's wheelchair, seemingly arguing with several uncles.

Her brother was also helping her mother, confronting these uncles and elders.

Where is dad?

Why is Dad not making a sound?

Qian Youyou's heart skipped a beat. Without thinking twice, she grabbed her baggy trousers and rushed inside.

How is my dad?

Where's the ambulance?

"Have you called an ambulance? How long will it take to arrive?"

"Mom, what happened? Why did Dad suddenly vomit blood?"

"Wasn't everything fine this morning?"

Qian Youyou's sudden intrusion finally brought a slight calm to the group of Qian clan members who were confronting her mother.

At this moment, someone said, "The old man is getting on in years, he probably just had an upset stomach, it's nothing serious."

"fart."

Xiao Jun said to the man, "You've already vomited blood, and you're still saying it's nothing serious? Why don't you try vomiting some yourself?"

The man quickly whispered, "I was just trying to comfort my niece, to put her at ease. Why is she making fun of me?"

After hearing this, Xiao Jun glared at the man again.

This time, the man shut up.

Judging from his expression, he was still very dissatisfied and retreated back into the crowd while cursing.

Logically speaking.

This guy is just a nobody, not even a senior manager in the company. So why did he dare to argue with Xiao Jun in such an important setting, and even joke about the chairman's safety?

The reason is simple.

They're of a higher generation, so they're fearless!
The Qian family business is a family enterprise. Everyone in key positions, from top to bottom and inside to outside, is a member of the Qian family. They work together with one mind and one heart, which is why the Qian family is what it is today.

This is advantageous in the early stages of starting a business.

Especially during the era of unbridled growth, in the first ten years of reform and opening up, a large population was a powerful force, and a terrifying one at that. Ordinary forces simply dared not provoke such a family force built up by people of the same lineage.

But once they achieve success and fame...

When it comes time to divide the cake, some people get more, some get less, and some people feel it's unfair, so they will definitely harbor resentment.

It's very simple.

No one can be absolutely impartial.

Qian Youyou's father is also not an option.

Because he is also a human being.

Humans are inherently selfish, and selfishness leads to an unconscious bias towards certain individuals. To give a simple example:

Regarding the selection of a successor for the Qian family, the clan members all felt that the most outstanding descendant of the Qian family should be chosen to inherit the position of Old Man Qian and lead everyone to continue to prosper.

As for whether the heir is a direct descendant of Old Man Qian, it is not important to these members of the Qian clan. What matters is that the person is surnamed Qian, has a blood relationship with them, and is preferably one of them or the son of one of them. That would be even better, as they would keep the benefits within the family.

From Mr. Qian's perspective, he built the entire Qian family business from scratch. Although he received a lot of support from his clansmen during the entrepreneurial process, it was through everyone's hard work and help that the Qian Group became what it is today.

But he didn't refuse to pay, did he?

He has already paid the fee.

Moreover, I feel that the compensation he gave is absolutely commensurate with the efforts of the tribe over the years.

That's where the conflict arises.

Why should you all stand up and criticize me when I pass my own company on to my own daughter?

Fine, so you're just worried that my daughter might get married in the future, and if she does, her children won't have the Qian surname, and the Qian Group will eventually be handed over to outsiders.

Okay, then I'll take your feelings into consideration and I'll make sure my daughter doesn't get married.

If we just find a son-in-law to live with us, and he has children, they can continue to take the surname Qian and be included in the Qian family genealogy. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
But why do you still feel uneasy?

From the perspective of the Qian family patriarch, his decision was correct, even at the cost of his daughter's happiness. But from the perspective of the entire Qian clan, they clearly had better options, so why take the risk?
Is it because the Qian family doesn't have enough sons?
Is there not a single one that's presentable?

Do you really have to wait for your daughter to find a husband?

What if the son-in-law you find is a poor man from a poor background who is ungrateful and can't be raised properly?
Who will be responsible?

What if your daughter can't even give birth to a son?
Even if it's possible, what if the child grows up and wants to revert to his/her unfortunate father's surname, refusing to acknowledge the Qian family as his own and becoming ungrateful?
that's all.

Any unexpected event would be an absolutely unparalleled and heavy blow to those who were clinging to the Qian family's powerful connections.

If they had no other choice, they absolutely would not want to accept the version of the answer left to them by the old man of the Qian family.

In their hearts, the answer they truly want for the next generation is for you, the chairman, to unconditionally hand over the company and entrust the selection of successors to the ancestral hall, letting the clan members make the choice for you, and you only need to accept it.

Thus, the conflict has reached a point where it is fundamentally irreconcilable.

It's either the East Wind prevails over the West Wind, or the West Wind prevails over the West Wind; we'll see who has the last laugh.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that the Qian clan has already won. Look, some people are already covering their mouths and laughing, as if they can't wait for the old man to die.

"boss……"

At this moment, Xiao Jiu and Da Jun, who had just arrived, had already led their men to stand behind Lu Yang.

They asked Lu Yang what to do next.

Lu Yang peeked into the doorway, then turned and whispered, "Can you find out exactly what happened?"

The army had just arrived, and Hu scratched the back of his head in a daze.

He just focused on doing his work.

There's no need to worry about things that require brainpower.

Xiao Jiu frowned, and said hesitantly, "It seems... someone poisoned it!?"

Poisoned?

Lu Yang said in a deep voice, "Can you confirm this?"

Xiao Jiu shook his head: "Madam Qian was the first to notice that Chairman Qian was acting strangely. She immediately blocked the news and gave a stern warning to everyone present at the time. Our people were too far away and caught off guard, so it was difficult for them to get accurate information."

"That's it..."

Lu Yang began to ponder, feeling that things were not so simple.

Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, Qian Youyou's mother, Madam Qian, also brought up this matter.

“I suspect someone poisoned Lao Qian. Your dad only drank one bowl of porridge this morning, and that bowl of porridge was cooked together with the bowl of porridge I drank this morning, so there is no possibility that he got sick from eating it.”

Once we arrived at the hotel, we were busy entertaining guests and didn't have time to eat anything.

I only relaxed a little after all the guests arrived. I had someone take your father to the lounge to rest, and then, supposedly, he only drank a bowl of tea. Shortly after, he vomited blood. I've already called the police. Once they arrive, they'll start their investigation from the tea your father drank to see if anyone poisoned him. They'll know the truth after the investigation is complete.

"What? Sister-in-law, you called the police?"

"My brother vomited blood because he was too tired, how could you call the police?"

"Yes, if word gets out that our Qian Group chairman was poisoned at his own birthday banquet, what will people outside think of us? How could someone cause trouble and sneak into our own territory? How can the Qian family maintain its foothold in Pengcheng after this?"

"Yes, yes, we can't call the police, otherwise the company's stock price will definitely plummet."

Upon hearing that Mrs. Qian had called the police, the room erupted in chaos.

"asshole."

"Is Old Qian's life less important than the company's stock price?"

"You can't say that."

"Yes!"

"It's still uncertain whether it's poisoning or not, sister-in-law, you must be careful..."

So many people were bullying his mother.

Xiao Jun could no longer hold back.

His fiery temper flared up immediately, and he yelled at the people opposite him for being shameless, "Shut up, you dare to threaten my mother, did you poison her?"
Feeling guilty after committing a crime, right?

They want to buy time so they can destroy the evidence, right?
Someone, block the door!

No one is allowed in or out. Mom, sister, you take Grandpa to the hospital first.

I'm here. Anyone who dares to jump out at this time, unafraid of being held accountable later, then come on! If you have the guts, step forward and let's see who's got the guts. (End of Chapter)
