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

The old man in the wheelchair suddenly clutched his chest and coughed violently. His deathly pale face made Qian Youyou panic instantly.

"dad!"

She didn't have time to question them; she rushed over to check on them and quickly pushed the wheelchair toward the ward.

Lu Yang shook his head.

He turned and walked towards the stairwell of the wards on this floor.

Since there was nothing else to do, she wanted to go home early.

"Wait a minute."

A calm voice sounded behind Lu Yang.

Lu Yang turned his head: "Oh, it's Mrs. Qian. Auntie, is there something you need?"

Madam Qian walked up to Lu Yang and looked him up and down. "Young man, you are indeed handsome. No wonder my Youyou didn't choose anyone else but you, a married man. I saw what just happened. Although my husband's words were a bit inappropriate, it was out of love for his daughter. But you deliberately provoked him and spoke ill of him in front of my silly girl. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

It turns out they came to demand an explanation.

Lu Yang looked Madam Qian up and down. He saw that although Madam Qian was over 50 years old, she still had a lot of charm. No wonder she could give birth to a great beauty like Qian Youyou. Just look at those legs... tsk tsk... it can all be said to be hereditary.

Lu Yang clicked his tongue in amazement at how this woman maintained her youthful appearance.
She's over fifty years old, but her figure hasn't changed much.

Seeing that Lu Yang remained silent and instead scrutinized her from head to toe with a critical look in his eyes, Madam Qian immediately became displeased and said, "Young man, what do you mean by this?"

Lu Yang snapped out of his daze and smiled slightly, saying, "It's nothing. Madam Qian, are you here to interrogate me?"

He won't even call me "Auntie" anymore?

A sharp glint flashed in Mrs. Qian's eyes. "Mr. Lu, do you think that neither my husband nor I are worthy of being your elders?"

Since the other party was unwilling to acknowledge her as their aunt, given her pride, she naturally wouldn't want to take advantage of them for nothing.

Lu Yang knew this question was not easy to answer.

If the answer is yes, then without a doubt it means that you are denying the importance of that person's daughter in your heart.

If this enraged Mrs. Qian were to spread rumors back home, wouldn't that leggy girl come looking for trouble?
I've already touched it.

I've already gone to sleep.

Only the final step in protecting a woman's innocence has not yet been completed.

At this time, to say such things and act like someone who has pulled up their pants and then turned their back on you is despicable.

For no other reason than to prevent the leggy girl from feeling like a heartless man, I couldn't say those words.

But if we don't say it this way, how should we say it?
If I change it back and call her "Auntie," what will I do? Ha! Won't this Mrs. Qian take advantage of me? And if I get scolded again, where will I put my face?
So Lu Yang just smiled again: "Madam, what are you saying? I don't understand. Oh, right, I have something to attend to, please excuse me."

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.

When you encounter a menopausal woman who is rich, has a high status, and a bad temper, you definitely can't reason with her. Okay, this kind of woman is often arrogant, so if you want to leave, she certainly won't stop you.

Sure enough, Lu Yang hadn't even said two words before he ran down the stairs.

Madam Qian opened her mouth and raised her hand, wanting to stop Lu Yang and make him explain himself, but several times she swallowed her words back.

I want to pursue...

But then she looked down at her high heels under her stockings.

He could only mutter in frustration, "What a slippery little brat! He's really quick to run away. Youyou must be blind to have fallen for him. I have to go back and have a serious talk with him."

As her mother, she was still wholeheartedly committed to helping her daughter make the right choice.

But she doesn't seem to think about it.

Since her daughter has two choices, she can either follow Lu Yang without a formal title and give birth to a son to please her husband, Qian, and be included in the Qian family genealogy, or she can only find a good-for-nothing son-in-law to live with her family. The more useless he is, the more at ease her family will be. Which choice is truly for her daughter's good?

This question can only be answered with time.

After Lu Yang went downstairs and got into his car, he called Qian Youyou upstairs before letting Xiao Jiu drive.

Tell her that I'm going back first, and that she doesn't need to worry. She can call me if she needs anything; I'm available 24/7.

Qian Youyou whispered on the phone, "About us, you...you might want to reconsider?"

Lu Yang was taken aback. "You regret it?"

Qian Youyou said anxiously, "No, I didn't. I was afraid you'd regret it. Also, what about your sister-in-law..."

After all, things have developed differently now than she and Yin Mingyue had agreed before.

If Yin Mingyue found out, would she think that she was deliberately deceiving her and then taking the opportunity to seduce her?
Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as there was no regret, that was good. He smiled and said, "Since Mingyue doesn't object to you having my child, it means she's already mentally prepared for this. As for the specifics of how to have the child, I'll find time to explain it to her in detail. Just relax. By the way, did your mother pick a fight with me when she went back just now?"

Speaking of this, Qian Youyou felt angry. "You still dare to say that? Can't you be a little more considerate of my dad? He's almost having a stroke because of you, and my mom was just nagging you too..."

"Humph!"

She threw a little tantrum.

Then, she changed the subject again and tried to give Lu Yang a sweet treat, "Well, okay, I'll tell you the truth. My parents have stopped caring about my marriage."

Hehe, I've got their Achilles' heel. As long as my dad still wants to hold his grandson, he'll have no choice but to follow my plan.

I've decided on you for the rest of my life. I'm not willing to have children with anyone else. If my parents object again, I'll stay home and be an old maid. I won't get married or take in a live-in son-in-law. Anyway, I look down on those men who want to climb the social ladder by marrying into our Qian family.

"Hmph! My dad'll be the one in a panic then, let's see how he'll hold his grandson then."

This little cotton-padded jacket is no longer needed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang felt anxious for Old Man Qian.

However, if Qian Youyou can think that way, it would be a good thing for him.

This would allow him to avoid fighting on two fronts.

Next, all he needs to do is go back and calm Mingyue down.

"It's strange, though."

"It's already this late, and Mingming hasn't called to urge me to go back?"

Lu Yang raised his wrist to check the time. It was 6:30 PM, and the streetlights were already on, matching the gradually darkening night outside.

After hanging up with Qian Youyou, he quickly called the landline at home and told Xiao Jiu to drive quickly.

"Is it too late to rush back for dinner?"

Lu Yang preferred to get straight to the point. Yin Mingyue's slightly nervous voice immediately came through the phone: "Honey, you...you don't need to stay at the hospital tonight?"

So she knew all along.

That's right. The prestigious Qian family is celebrating the old man's birthday today, but someone secretly poisoned the clan leader and sent him to the hospital. He almost died. Even Uncle Hat was alarmed and dozens of Qian family members were arrested. This kind of super business news must have spread like wildfire.
At the time, the banquet hall was not only filled with members of the Qian family; there were also many Qian family relatives by marriage, as well as many celebrities from the business world.

They all chose to protect themselves at the time.

But that didn't stop them from enjoying a good show. When Uncle Hat arrived, the banquet hall doors were opened, and the crowd dispersed.

But doesn't that also mean they will vividly and clearly spread all the details of the conflict that occurred in the banquet hall?

Although Yin Mingyue rarely leaves the house, she is Lu Yang's wife and a rising star in Pengcheng's technology circle. She is the wife of the chairman of Century Group. There are probably more people who want to curry favor with her and then use her to curry favor with Lu Yang than there are carp crossing a river.

"Another instance of 'Lady diplomacy'."

Lu Yang figured this out, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Wife, can we assume that you're jealous of someone?"

Yin Mingyue probably didn't expect Lu Yang to be so direct. There was an "Ah" sound from the other end, followed by "thump thump thump... beep beep..." The microphone must have fallen off the table because she wasn't holding it properly.

Pick it up quickly.

Yin Mingyue said nervously, "I...I...I didn't..."

She didn't know how to continue. Should she defend herself, or should she really admit that she was jealous?
Seeing that she was nervous, Lu Yang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I was just joking with you. The Qian family is our business partner. They are currently in internal strife, which is also affecting our business. I came to the hospital to see this old man Qian out of courtesy as a junior. As for staying to take care of him all night, that's the job of his adopted son and his own daughter. I can't take their job."

"What's wrong, honey? Why are you stammering? You didn't prepare dinner for me, did you?"

"I... I'm not like that."

Yin Mingyue blushed and whispered, "Come back and eat. I made your favorite braised pork and eggplant with minced meat..."

Lu Yang laughed out loud.

He said smugly, "I'll be home soon. Oh, by the way, there's something you need to explain to me."

"ah!???"

Yin Mingyue was puzzled and covered her mouth in surprise.

Lu Yang chuckled and said, "You've got some nerve, daring to sell your husband's sperm, and donate it for free! What, so eager to find a younger brother or sister for our Xin'er and the child in your belly?"

The matter with Qian Youyou is quite difficult to handle, but since Lu Yang has already promised this leggy beauty, he has to get things done.

This is called "striking first to gain the upper hand".

First, you must stand on the moral high ground and intimidate the other party before trying to manipulate them. Then, try to take advantage of the situation to see if you can make a profit.

"Ah...you...you knew all along?"

Yin Mingyue, who was on the other end of the phone, had just felt a surge of excitement, but upon hearing the news, her heart pounded.

Completely at a loss.

After thinking about it, I simply hung up the phone, clutching my pounding heart.

With mixed feelings, I walked back to the restaurant.

I sat down at the dining table.

"Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Xin'er, who was eating with a fork, put down her fork, jumped off the stool, ran over and snuggled close to her mother, looking at her with innocent and romantic eyes.

Yin Mingyue picked up her daughter, placed her on her lap, and then used a napkin to wipe her mouth.

Seeing her laughing so carefree.

With mixed feelings, she asked, "Xin'er, besides the little brother in Mommy's tummy, would you like to have another little brother or sister?"

Lu Xin'er's little brain has limited understanding after all. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly widened her round eyes and said, "Mommy, Mommy, I know! Are you pregnant with twins in your tummy? My classmates Liu Beibei and Liu Keke are twins. It's so much fun! They wear the same clothes and look exactly alike... Hehe, okay, okay, Mommy, Mommy, I want twin brothers and sisters, and I want them to wear the same little clothes too."

Such innocent and romantic words from a child left Yin Mingyue, the mother, both amused and exasperated.

Even my slightly down mood instantly lifted.

She hugged her daughter's face and kissed her twice, then put her down. "Okay, Mommy still has a baby in her tummy. Now that you've eaten, go play by yourself."

"Cuckoo..."

After being put down, Lu Xin'er wiped the drool off her face and ran off to play by herself.

Yin Mingyue sat there blankly for a moment.

It wasn't until Liu Ma, the new caregiver hired by the family to look after her and Lu Xin'er during her pregnancy, called her.

"Madam, the food is getting cold, why aren't you eating?"

"Is it not to your liking?"

"How about I make a few more for you?"

Yin Mingyue snapped out of her daze and exclaimed "Ah!" before quickly saying, "No, it's because the master will be back later, and I'm waiting for him to eat together."

Aunt Liu: "Then I'll go cook two more dishes and reheat the dishes on the table, they've all gone cold."

Yin Mingyue nodded, "Then let's add braised pork and eggplant with minced meat, since you like them, sir."

At this point, she became worried again, so she stood up, one hand covering her stomach and the other supporting her waist, and tied a scarf around her neck.

"Never mind, I'll do it. Braised pork and eggplant with minced meat, my husband likes it when I cook it myself."

Then, she paused, "Aunt Liu, I might have to trouble you again. My pregnancy isn't very convenient, so I need you to help me out."

"It's alright, madam, just tell me what you need and I'll do it."

This Aunt Liu certainly lives up to her high salary; her emotional control is also spot on.

On the other end, Lu Yang heard the "beep beep beep beep" sound from the phone and immediately knew that his wife had hung up.

He chuckled and said, "See? Got it?"

As long as his wife doesn't bring up the topic of "borrowing sperm to have a child" today, Lu Yang is happy not to bring it up either. He wants to put these things off for now and wait until his wife raises the issue again later.

"No, didn't you agree to this? I even asked you about it before, but you didn't tell me. You changed your mind. Sigh, if I had known, I would never have agreed. After all, the child won't have my surname and won't be able to inherit my Lu Yang family fortune. How unfair is that to the child?"

That's right, Lu Yang is preparing to turn the tables. (End of Chapter)
