Ying Yanluo pushed the door open and saw Mr. Ying sitting behind the desk.
Ying Yanluo said: "Grandpa."
Mr. Ying put down the brush in his hand and looked up. "Come here and sit down." After saying that, Mr. Ying stood up and walked towards the sofa beside him.
Ying Yanluo immediately followed and sat opposite Mr. Ying.
"Grandpa, where's grandma?"
"Your grandma is not feeling well, so she went to bed as soon as she got home."
Mr. Ying: "You should know why I asked you to come back, right?"
Ying Yanluo clenched her hands on her knees and said, "Grandpa, I was wrong to get married without consulting you."
Mr. Ying's slightly confused eyes showed no emotion, "Yanluo, marriage is not something you can take lightly, do you understand?"
"I understand that I have considered the marriage carefully. He is a very good person."
"The meeting a while ago was organized by the Song family, right?"
Ying Yanluo pursed her lips and said, "I called them."
"But you definitely didn't tell them that the person you were marrying was Su Weichu from the Su Group."
Ying Yanluo subconsciously looked at Mr. Ying, "...Grandpa."
"Before calling you, I called your grandfather in advance."
Ying Yanluo slowly clenched her palms and said nothing.
"Your grandpa really loves you." said Mr. Ying.
Ying Yanluo: "I remember all the kindness grandpa has shown me."
"Since you said so, no matter what you think in your heart, your wedding banquet will be organized by the Ying family, and you have to go to the Ying family." Mr. Ying has always known that his granddaughter has a knot in her heart. All the children of the Ying family, regardless of gender, study finance in order to join the family's company after graduation. But she was the only one who applied to the Academy of Fine Arts without saying a word. She didn't have the Ying family in her heart, and she didn't want to have anything to do with them.
Ying Yanluo lowered her eyes, "I understand."
She knew very well that her wedding banquet could not be entrusted to the Song family. Once the wedding was made public, it would not just be a matter between her and Su Weichu. They represented two families. If the wedding banquet was left to her in-laws, the Ying family would definitely become a laughing stock in the entire Beijing circle. Her grandfather would not allow such a thing to happen.
Mr. Ying nodded, "I'm glad you understand."
"When you have time, let's have a meal together."
Ying Yanluo naturally knew that when he said eating together, he definitely didn't mean her alone. "He went on a business trip today and probably won't be back for half a month. I'll tell him when he comes back."
"Well, I won't keep you for dinner today. You can go back first."
Ying Yanluo stood up and bowed, "Okay, then Grandpa, I'll leave first."
Seeing Ying Yanluo coming downstairs, Aunt Zhao went to greet her, "Second Miss, you are leaving now, aren't you going to stay for dinner?"
Ying Yanluo shook her head. "No, Grandpa probably didn't have much of an appetite after being on the plane. I'd like to trouble Aunt Zhao to bring him some light food."
"Okay, I will." Aunt Zhao handed her the car keys and bag and sent her out.
After Ying Yanluo's car left the compound, Mr. Ying came out of the study and was about to return to the bedroom. The bedroom door opened from the inside without warning, revealing an old lady with great temperament. Although she was in her seventies, it was not difficult to tell what she was like when she was young.
"Where is Yanluo?" asked Madam Ying.
"Already gone."
"Didn't we agree that she would call me when she arrived?" Old Madam Ying was a little dissatisfied.
"Since you were sleeping soundly, I didn't disturb you."
Madam Ying rolled her eyes at him and said, "I think you did it on purpose."
Mr. Ying smiled and did not refute.
Madam Ying suddenly asked, "Is what the second brother said true?"
"It's half true."
"Half true? How do you say that?"
Mr. Ying told his wife what had just happened in detail. After listening, Mrs. Ying sighed and said, "I'm afraid the knot in this child's heart will never be untied."
They have three sons in total, but they never lived with any of them until they were old. Perhaps because they did not live together, the grandchildren in the family only came over on weekends, so the relationship was still a little distant. After the incident, the Song family came and insisted on taking Jie Yanluo away. How could they really let the Song family take her away? In the end, the couple came forward and said that they would personally raise the child by their side, and the Song family gave up.
The child was only ten years old when they first took him in. In the second year after he was brought in, he proposed to them the idea of boarding. How could an eleven-year-old child take care of himself in a boarding house? She naturally disagreed, but the child was young and had a stubborn personality, so they finally agreed.
Old Madam Ying was also thinking, if they had persisted a little longer and kept the child by their side and taught him well during those most important years, perhaps things would be different now.
…
When Tao Lanzhi came back, the nanny was already preparing dinner.
"Ma'am, you're back."
"Yeah." Tao Lanzhi walked towards the kitchen, wanting to see what would be for dinner.
The nanny followed her and asked, "Madam, does she seem to be in a good mood?"
Tao Lanzhi smiled and said, "Is there?"
Seeing her like this, the nanny understood her good mood even more clearly. "Yes, Madam, your smile has not dropped since you came in."
Ying Ruxia always gets off work on time. After dinner was served, the familiar sound of a car was heard in the yard.
Tao Lanzhi went out to greet him, called him, and took the briefcase from his hand, "Are you back?"
Ying Rutian: "Did you pick up your parents today? How was it?"
"Very good, they all seem to be in good spirits."
Ying Rutian nodded, "That's good."
"Rutian, that is..."
Ying Rutian looked at her, and seeing that she looked hesitant, he said, "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Tao Lanzhi thought for a moment, "Today when I went to pick up my parents, they asked about Yanluo again, and then I..."
Ying Rutian understood when he heard this. He found that his eldest daughter was really capable. After being rejected by him, she called the Song family. If he still didn't understand now, he would have lived in vain for so many years. From the beginning, she didn't intend to let them go. She called him and was rejected by him just to make the Song family appear legitimately! If she is really so capable, she will continue to ask the Song family to organize the wedding banquet later! We will see then! Who will be embarrassed! !
"I see. It's okay. We should tell our parents about this so that they can see what their granddaughter has done."
"So, do you think that Mom and Dad can make Yan Luo change her mind?"
"How can you change your mind? She dared to get married to such a rebellious woman, can you still let her get divorced?" Ying Rutian asked her to divorce that day, but to be honest, if the marriage was really concluded, she couldn't just get divorced casually. Even if the man she married didn't have a high social status, it was her first marriage. If she got divorced, wouldn't it be her second marriage? Getting married and then getting divorced and becoming a second marriage, that would be really shameful!
Tao Lanzhi couldn't believe what he said for a moment, so he never thought of asking her to divorce? But if he didn't divorce her and let her get married, what about her shares
"What are you thinking about?" Ying Rutian suddenly asked.
Tao Lanzhi packed up quickly, smiled and shook her head, "I didn't really think much about it. I just thought, it would be great if Yanluo could understand your good intentions."
Just as Ying Rutian was about to speak, his cell phone suddenly rang. After seeing the caller ID, his expression changed immediately. Tao Lanzhi also saw his caller ID, but she didn't say anything. After he hung up the phone, she asked, "Dad is not looking for you because of Yan Luo, right?"
Ying Rutian felt that this was possible, "Probably."
"So you want to go over now?"
"Yes, you can eat dinner by yourself."
Tao Lanzhi's eyes twinkled, and she nodded meekly at him, "Okay."
She had been married to the Ying family for so many years, and no matter how hard she tried, the old lady and the others never liked her. In their hearts, the only second daughter-in-law they recognized was Song Min, but so what? Song Min was already dead. Although Tao Lanzhi was resentful, she would not be stupid enough to argue with a dead person. What if she didn't like her? Even if she didn't like her, she was still the main wife of the second house of the Ying family. What's more, she had a son, and her son was the legitimate heir to the second house!
…
When Ying Rutian arrived at the old house, Mr. Ying and Mrs. Ying had just finished dinner. It seemed that they did not leave any food for him, but he did not dare to ask more.
Mr. Ying still has a lot of prestige over Ying Rutian. The person he feared most since he was a child was his father, especially after that incident that year, when he once again experienced the family rules after a lapse of ten years. The feeling still makes him shudder when he thinks about it.
After respectfully calling the two elders, he looked at Mr. Ying again.
"Dad, you're looking for me?"
Mr. Ying wiped his hands with a warm towel beside him, stood up, and said, "Come with me to the study."
Ying Rutian responded and hurriedly followed.
"Do you know why I came to see you today?"
Ying Rutian thought for a moment and said, "Because of Yan Luo's matter."
"You are quite clear about this?" Mr. Ying snorted coldly.
Ying Rutian had no idea what his father was thinking, but he was shocked by his cold snort. "Dad, Yan Luo didn't tell me about her marriage until she got the marriage certificate without my permission. I..."
"I came to you today, and I didn't want to hear you say this, so I asked you why you refused to meet with the man's family?"
Ying Rutian was silent for a few seconds, thinking about how to explain.
Mr. Ying glanced at him. His own son didn't know what was in his mind. He had been planning and working hard for their Ying family all his life, but he was really old, and one day he would pass away. At that time, the rise and fall of the Ying family would still depend on the three brothers. It would be good if the three brothers were united, but none of his three sons were easy to deal with. They were just harmonious on the surface, and the only thing that made him feel relieved was that no matter how much the three of them fought, it was only an internal fight at home. At least it did not affect the development of the Ying family.
Among the granddaughters of the Ying family, the one who married the best was the eldest daughter of the old family. She married into the Lian family, which ranked ninth among the top ten families in Beijing. In the second year after she entered the Lian family, she gave birth to two twin sons, which added a bit of affection to this business marriage. Over the years, the relationship between the two families has been harmonious.
As for Yan Luo’s husband’s family, it is the Su family in Beijing. We have to mention the three major families in Beijing, the Wei family, the Su family and the Duan family.
Many years ago, the Duan family was the number one family in Beijing. After the young descendants of the Wei and Su families entered their own companies, in just a few years, they tended to form a three-way competition. Up to now, the Wei and Su families have already caught up with the Duan family. Now the Wei family is firmly sitting on the position of the number one family in Beijing. As for the Su family, it is only second to the Wei family. It must be said that the two people in power of the Wei and Su families are not only friends for many years, but also brother-in-law and uncle.
In the early years, after the two leaders of the Wei family and the Duan family announced their marriages one after another, the scattered attention of those aristocratic families was focused on the Su family. To marry into the Su family is like squeezing into a canoe with thousands of troops. He never thought about which of the unmarried granddaughters of their Ying family would marry into the Ying family, but it just so happened that Yanluo married into the Ying family. If other children married into the Ying family, he might not have to worry so much, but it happened to be Yanluo, the child who was the least close to the Ying family.
"Forget it. From what I see from you, I guess you don't even know which family Yanluo married."
Ying Rutian looked at his father. For a moment, he didn't understand what he meant by this, but he had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong. "Dad?"
"It's the Su family."
Ying Rutian was surprised, "The Su family in Beijing?"
"Otherwise, which Su family is there?" Mr. Ying asked back.
Ying Rutian gritted his teeth and said, "She didn't mention a single word to me."
Mr. Ying glanced at him and said, "Then why didn't she tell you a word? Don't you know what's going on?"
Ying Rutian's expression was as colorful as a palette, "Dad?"
"Okay, shut up. I called you here because I want you to understand. I don't care what your attitude is towards Yan Luo, or what the other people in the Ying family think of her. But, since she married into the Su family, she is no longer just the granddaughter of the Ying family."
Ying Rutian knew what his father meant by this sentence. He clenched his fists and said, "I understand."
…
Su Weichu brought Xiao Wei to Xiamen on a business trip. There was a very important film and television copyright auction. After a few days of shooting, they had already bought all the scripts they liked. After finishing the scripts, they negotiated several contracts with several bosses. In the evening, they booked a restaurant for dinner.
After a while, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and several beautiful women came in.
"Xiao Yu, just sit next to President Su and pour him some wine and some food." said a company vice president.
The woman called Xiao Yu smiled and responded. Before she could go over, she heard Su Weichu's gentle and calm voice, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your kindness, but I don't think it's necessary. My family is very strict. If she knew about it, she would probably make a fuss."
Not all of the people present were unmarried, of course there were married people too, but in such occasions they still hugged each other, calling it a show. Su Weichu looked down on such things but didn't care too much about it, in the business world, he only talked about business.
Some people even joked, "If you don't tell me, how would Mrs. Su know?" But after joking, they felt something was wrong. A vice president who was slightly familiar with Su Weichu said in surprise, "Mr. Su, aren't you unmarried? Where did your wife come from?"
Everyone was stunned, and then they realized, yes, President Su is a popular figure in the Beijing circle, when did they get married
Su Weichu held the wine glass and smiled softly, "Yeah, it happened not long ago."
"Could it be that Mr. Su has drunk too much and is joking with us?"
"This little bit of wine is nothing." Su Weichu said.
Several people looked at each other with different expressions, but they all raised their glasses in tacit understanding, "Then let us congratulate President Su! Happy wedding! May you be blessed with happiness!"
Su Weichu smiled and raised his glass to accept their blessings, "Thank you all."
Xiao Wei, who was sitting at the special assistant's table not far from them, looked at Su Weichu. Based on his understanding of this person, the smile just now was the most sincere at the dinner table today. Xiao Wei also blurted out an inappropriate but very applicable word, "show off". Yes, it was blatant showing off!
Naturally, the special assistants' table also took in the noise from that table just now. All the special assistants around the bosses are shrewd people, so they raised their glasses and complimented Xiao Wei. They were simply celebrating their boss's marriage to a beautiful wife. They also wanted to secretly ask who this wife of President Su was. Maybe they could use the strategy of wife diplomacy in the future!
But Xiao Wei was also a cunning old fox. He didn't let them get any information about the wife, but at this dinner table, he found out exactly who the wife of their boss was and whose family she was from. He might not be able to use it now, but might use it in the future.
After the dinner was over, but it was around five in the afternoon, many people were drunk, so they dispersed at the entrance of the hotel.
When Chen Bin went out, most of the bosses at the entrance of the restaurant had left, but he was not too surprised. At today's dinner table, his family's business should be at the bottom, and it was normal to be ignored. But he was not too disappointed. After all, the deal had been done. Coincidentally, the phone in his pocket rang.
"Hey, wife."
"No, no, I just drank a little."
"I'll be back in two days."
"Remember, I went to the counter to reserve it for you on the day I came. Look, I can get it for you right away. Why are you being so polite to your husband? Don't worry, the bag will arrive even if I show up."
I don’t know what his wife said on the other end, but Chen Bin was smiling so hard that his face was invisible.
After hanging up the phone with satisfaction, he realized that there was a man standing not far from him, and he knew him. "Su, Mr. Su?"
Su Weichu nodded slightly at him, "Sorry, I overheard your call by accident."
Chen Bin quickly shook his head, "No, no." It seemed that President Su had been standing there for a while. He came here with the phone on his own. How could he blame others
Su Weichu had a smile on his face, and his voice was much gentler than before at the dinner table.
"I just heard you say, what bag are you going to buy?"
"Oh, yes, it's a bag my wife likes very much. When I came here, I helped her order it at the counter. She sent me a message today saying it has arrived. I was about to go pick it up."
He was talking about his wife, and Su Weichu had no doubt about it, because just now at the dinner table, the only person who was not sitting next to him was the young boss, and he also noticed that he was wearing a ring on his finger.
"Do all girls like bags?" Su Weichu asked.
Chen Bin suddenly thought of the fact that Mr. Su was married. He might have asked this question because of the one at home, so he smiled and said, "I dare not say 100%, but at least 90% of them like it. I wonder if Mr. Su has ever heard of the saying, 'a cure for all diseases.'"
"Cure all diseases?" Su Weichu laughed.
"So where are you going to get it?"
Chen Bin was a rough man, and was a little surprised by Su Weichu's smile. In his impression, good-looking men were either sent to the army or to the entertainment industry. He had rarely seen businessmen who were both good-looking and capable. But on second thought, maybe there were not few, but he was just ignorant.
"Just Mixc in Vientiane City."
Su Weichu nodded, "Then is it convenient for us to go over and take a look together?"
Chen Bin was a little flattered. "One, together?"
"Is it inconvenient?"
Chen Bin shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, it's convenient."
Just then, the driver drove the car over and Xiao Wei, who was in the passenger seat, got out and opened the door.
"At that moment you walked in front and I followed behind."
At this point, all Chen Bin could do was nod.
After the two cars drove into the lane one after the other, Xiao Wei asked, "Boss Su, what are you going to do..."
Su Weichu smiled and asked Xiao Wei: "Have you ever heard of this sentence?"
"What?" Xiao Wei asked.
“It cures all diseases.”
