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

Yin Mingzhu left the next morning.

She didn't ask for leave this time because she had already used up her annual leave.

She just wanted to take advantage of the weekend to come over and explain things to Lu Yang, so that he wouldn't misunderstand her and think of her as a wicked woman.

Although……

It seems like I made a wasted trip.

But as long as she has a clear conscience.

As for the 30, that guy didn't want it, so he told her to donate it. She thought about it all night but still couldn't make up her mind. She plans to think about it slowly when she gets back.

In addition, she felt somewhat sorry for her younger sister, Yin Mingyue.

Because my younger sister is about to give birth.

As the older sister, she should have stayed a few more days, but due to various reasons, such as not having the courage to meet with that guy often and not knowing what to say, and her relationship with her mother, Ma Xiulan, although they had dinner together as a family last night, it seems that her mother has not forgiven her yet. She doesn't expect her mother to forgive her either, after all, she knows her mother's thoughts very well. But she and this guy are now irreconcilable, so how can they talk about rekindling their old feelings?
Besides, Yin Mingzhu isn't that shameless.

It's as if there are no men left in the world, and they just have to cling to them.

The last reason, of course, is that her annual leave has already been used up. If she doesn't go back soon, it will be considered absenteeism. For the sake of her career, she has to go back.

After watching her sister board the plane, Yin Mingyue felt a sense of relief for some reason.

She still couldn't figure out what her older sister was thinking.

However, her mother's thoughts were already quite obvious. Ever since Lu Yang and Qian's sister had that incident, her mother seemed to be possessed. One moment she would advise her to be magnanimous, and the next she would often mention her sister's goodness in front of her, as if only her sister could help her and the two sisters together could capture Lu Yang's heart.

Although her mother didn't say it explicitly, she wasn't stupid; she clearly meant it...

—It's just a matter of not saying it to their faces.

Fortunately, my sister only stayed for one day before rushing back home. Otherwise, if my mother had made a fuss again and privately forced her to make a statement, I wouldn't know what to do.

Say yes!
She just can't get over this hurdle in her mind.

After all, her sister's identity was too special. She was not only her twin sister, but also Lu Yang's childhood sweetheart and fiancée who had grown up together. If she really let them be together, what would she be?
Do we have to go back to the way things were before?
impossible!
She has already shed her status as the sister-in-law. It was her older sister who didn't want Lu Yang anymore and gave him to her. Now she wants to take him back and treat him like a tool. Not to mention that Lu Yang doesn't know what he thinks, even if he still cherishes their past relationship, do you think she would be willing from the bottom of her heart?
She doesn't want to!

Yes, 1000, 1 are unwilling.

That's why she secretly breathed a sigh of relief after watching her sister board the plane, no longer worried that her sister would be persuaded by their mother, thus lest it damage the relationship between the sisters.

As for the mother?

The mother was just saying it; as long as the older sister wasn't tempted, there was nothing she could do.

Because his wife was still pregnant, Lu Yang accompanied her at the airport on this trip to send his sister-in-law back to Beijing.

By the time Yin Mingzhu had entered the ticket check channel.

Knowing that her eldest daughter was determined this time and would no longer listen to her, Ma Xiulan could only sigh inwardly.

He withdrew his gaze.

It fell on the shoulders of the youngest daughter and son-in-law.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be quite affectionate, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that I might have been worrying unnecessarily.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's rare for us to come out, so don't rush back later. Yangzi, why don't you take Mingyue out for a walk? You can't stay at home all the time while you're pregnant. You need to get more sunshine to supplement your calcium intake. That will make you feel better. I'll head back now. Don't worry about Xin'er. When school is over, either I or Aunt Liu will pick her up."

If you can't bring your eldest daughter and youngest son-in-law together, then you can only try to create as many opportunities as possible for them to spend time alone together.

Isn't it said that men are more likely to cheat during pregnancy?
Fortunately, her youngest daughter is due soon. If it's a boy, she'll have to advise her daughter not to rush into having a third child. She should wait a few years and solidify their relationship before proceeding.

Of course, these are all for later.

Lu Yang didn't think too much about it. Seeing that his mother-in-law was willing to help the young couple share the burden, he went to pick up Lu Xin'er from school for them.

Of course, we couldn't be happier.

Although several aunties have been hired to help out at the villa, and someone is specifically responsible for picking up and dropping off Lu Xin'er from school, no outsider can be as trustworthy as family.

"Thank you, Mom."

Lu Yang said happily, "I'll have the driver take you home. I'll accompany Mingyue for a walk and take her for a prenatal checkup later."

Ma Xiulan said with a sense of relief, "Alright, I'll leave my daughter to you now. I'll be going now."

Yin Mingyue stroked her large belly, remaining silent until she watched her mother leave. Only then did she look up at her husband, Lu Yang, and say, "You promised Mom you wouldn't run away halfway through, understand?"

Women need to be a little coquettish sometimes.

Especially since she became pregnant, she hadn't been out and about for a long time, and today her husband was by her side, personally protecting her safety.

Lu Yang stood at attention and said in a serious tone, "Yes, ma'am, please."

With a chuckle, he took Yin Mingyue's arm and they left the airport.

To ensure he kept his word, he even turned off his phone so he could spend some time shopping with his wife. She was almost nine months pregnant anyway, so they wouldn't have much time to shop. He planned to take Mingyue to her prenatal checkup later, and then drop her off at home – it wouldn't take long.

As a husband, surely I can't not even spare this little bit of time or have this little bit of patience?

The results of it?
Guess what?

As they were shopping, Lu Yang had just bought movie tickets and was about to take his wife to see a movie just for the two of them when Yin Mingyue suddenly whispered, "Honey, I think I'm going into labor."

"what?"

Lu Yang didn't quite hear it at first.

Until Yin Mingyue touched her swollen belly again, frowned, and repeated softly with a slightly painful expression, "She might be about to give birth."

Lu Yang then became nervous, quickly took out his phone, turned it on, and called Xiao Jiu, who was waiting two streets away, asking her to bring the car over immediately.

I dare not delay any longer.

Let's skip the movie. I picked up my wife and ran in the agreed direction.

Upon arriving at the hospital, it turned out to be a false alarm, as the amniotic sac had not yet ruptured; there had simply been some signs of contractions.

Yin Mingyue wants to go home.

But Lu Yang refused to let her go home, insisting that she stay in the hospital until she gave birth.

Yin Mingyue was unwilling, feeling that she was not that delicate.

I don't want to spend more money. I also don't want to waste public medical resources.

Lu Yang then used the story of Xiao Jun's wife almost having a difficult childbirth to scare her.

After all, how long has it been since this incident?
"You witnessed it all, honey. You don't want our child to be born without a mother, do you?"

"what?"

"You are not afraid?"

"I will take good care of them?"

"That's hard to say."

"You've left me so heartlessly, leaving me sad and heartbroken. Once I'm healed and forget you, I'll still be so young. Won't I have to get married again?"

"Oh dear, with a stepmother comes a stepfather, and with a stepfather, these two kids will be bullied to death, tsk tsk tsk... I feel so sorry for them in the future... Ouch, don't bite... It hurts, it hurts..."

Lu Yang, being outspoken, teased his wife, but was bitten by Yin Mingyue.

With red eyes, Yin Mingyue bit his arm hard, then released it with heartache, blushing as she said, "Hmph! You made me cry."

Bad Brother Lu Yang, what you said was so scary that she's afraid to go back. She's terrified that something might happen to her when she gives birth, and that her child will become a motherless child and be bullied by their stepmother.

Damn!

She dared not think about it; if she did, she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

I couldn't help but shrink my neck.

Before she could even scold her silly husband again, she felt herself being embraced in a warm hug.

Lu Yang said with heartache, "I'm sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn't have made such a joke. How could you possibly have an accident? You will definitely give birth to the children safely, and then watch them grow up healthy, wear wedding dresses, get married and have children. In the future, we will grow old together. Silly girl, don't you think so?"

snort!
Silly husband, that's more like it.

With just a few words, Lu Yang had already charmed her into a pout. She pressed her face against her husband's chest, listening to the pounding of his heart, and unknowingly fell asleep.

Lu Yang carefully placed her on the bed, then took off her shoes and socks, covered her with a blanket, and couldn't help but lean down to kiss her smooth forehead.

After getting up, he didn't notice that someone had already been woken up by his kiss, and that her little mouth was almost as pouty as before, so pouty that it could almost hold an oil bottle.

His wife was giving birth in the hospital, so of course he couldn't just go back like that. Fortunately, it was a VIP ward, where not only could the accompanying family members have a bed to sleep in, but they could also take a hot shower and have air conditioning.

In this day and age, it's impossible to receive such treatment without a certain level of financial resources and social connections.

So even though they are staying in the hospital, it doesn't really affect them. At most, they are not as free as they are at home, and they don't have a villa with a small garden to look at. But the garden downstairs in the hospital is actually quite beautiful. Also, the smell of disinfectant might be a bit strong.

But it's safe!
Nurses come in at any time to check on the situation, monitor the fetus's condition, and are on call 24 hours a day to notify the doctor immediately.

If any complications arise, the patient can be immediately transferred to the delivery room, which essentially eliminates the possibility of accidents.

When Ma Xiulan heard that her youngest daughter was hospitalized, she was in a hurry to come over, but then she heard that she hadn't given birth yet and was just staying in the hospital to prepare for childbirth. So she put aside her worries and decided to stay in the villa patiently to help the young couple take care of Lu Xin'er so that they could have no worries.

That evening, I heard that Lu Yang was at the hospital with his wife giving birth, along with Xiao Jun and his sister, Da Jun and his wife, Gong Ping'an and Wei Shu and her husband...

Everyone is here.

"Who told you that?"

Lu Yang glared at Xu Siqi in the corner. Besides his niece and his secretary, who else would report him?

Xu Siqi shrank her neck and quickly explained in a low voice, "It's not my fault. There was a problem at the company today. We were supposed to have you chair the meeting, but you weren't there. I couldn't lie, so I could only tell them that you were at the hospital with your wife giving birth... You... you can't deduct my salary because of this."

She's currently planning to buy a house in Pengcheng. She heard from Sister Wei Shu that house prices in Pengcheng change every day, so the sooner she buys, the better. She wants to buy a big single-level apartment to keep for her retirement. Even if she stays single forever, she can still live a comfortable and happy life... Humph! She can't let that stinky boss ruin it.

That lousy boss has already deducted her wages several times.

It brings tears to my eyes when I say it.

Lu Yang said disdainfully, "Look at you, so useless. Your bonus will be deducted this month."

Before Xu Siqi could even complain, he let out a shriek like a kitten.

He glared at the other person.

This is a hospital ward. If you disturb my wife's rest, you'll lose not only your bonus but also your entire salary.

Xu Siqi instinctively covered her mouth.

Lu Yang chuckled, waved triumphantly to everyone, and walked out of the ward.

Now that we're in the hallway, it's time to get down to business. "So, what happened that made you all come to find me?"

There's no need to rush to visit your wife who's giving birth, and to be so punctual too. It's obvious you had it all planned out.

Apart from Sister Wei Shu and Qian Youyou, the women consciously moved aside to avoid disturbing them.

Wei Shu glanced at Qian Youyou and Xiao Jun and nodded to Lu Yang, "Something has happened. According to the information we received this morning, the foreign-owned PepsiCo Group has been secretly contacting the Pengcheng Municipal Government recently, reportedly planning to expand their Coca-Cola production base that went into operation in Pengcheng in 1980..."

"That's it?"

Lu Yang frowned. It wasn't a big deal!

Fearing Lu Yang wouldn't take it seriously, Xiao Jun couldn't help but say, "Don't underestimate this, kid. This time is different from last time. Last time it was just a small skirmish, but this time they're specifically targeting us. I heard they'll bet at least this much..."

He then raised his index and middle fingers.

$2000 million?
Lu Yang frowned. That was indeed a lot of money. 2000 million US dollars was not only enough to renovate and expand the entire old and dilapidated Coca-Cola production line in China, but even the Pengcheng City government would have to greet him with a smile. If he had a conflict with them in the future, he might not get the full support of these local leaders. It would be good enough if he didn't side with them. For him, this was definitely not good news.

"What's the panic? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. It's just 2000 million..."

Lu Yang's lips curled into a smirk, mimicking the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King.

No matter what, we can take it seriously tactically, but we must be contemptuous strategically. We can't show any weakness, after all, Lu Yang is the backbone of this group.

"Yes, what's there to be afraid of in a mere 2000 million US dollars?"

“That’s right, let’s give them a good fight. I believe in you. So what if they’re global beverage giants? We’ll become global beverage giants sooner or later.”

Wei Shu and Qian Youyou exchanged a glance, both expressing their support for Lu Yang.

Qian Youyou looked at Lu Yang, her eyes seeming to see a glimmer of light. (End of Chapter)
