"Nephew, who should speak about this matter first, you or I?" After everyone in the room left, Qiu Xiongyi spoke in a slightly gloomy tone.
There must be some misunderstanding, and it was obviously He Jun's doing. Yu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you first. I agreed to a condition from Minister He Jun. He promised to keep me away from politics and keep me safe. Then he asked me what I wanted to do, and I said I wanted to open a clinic here. He told me I could come without worry, and he had taken care of everything. I didn't expect that what he said was taken care of was actually a marriage contract."
He frowned, and although he only gave a general idea of the rest of his life, it almost explained it.
Qiu Xiongyi's mouth twitched and he said, "The situation of the Qiu family is somewhat special. If you join the Qiu family, you can indeed get some protection. You can even dispel your worries because the Qiu family is on good terms with everyone. But the price is that the Qiu family will provide them with some unique and precious things every year. It can be regarded as spending money to ward off disaster."
"So that's how it is!" Yu Sheng understood a little and nodded.
However, Qiu Xiongyi said with an extremely ugly expression: "This is bullshit. That bastard He Jun didn't even inform you of the whole thing. Your engagement with my daughter can indeed get you out of your current situation. But you also need to join the Qiu family. Are you willing? If you are willing, everything can go on now. If you are not willing, then we have to think of a solution. "
"Do you mean that you want me to marry into your family?" Yu Sheng said with some understanding.
Sighing, Qiu Xiongyi nodded and said, "That's right, marry into the wife's family! Zi Ling is my only daughter, and she is the only heir to the clan, so she can't marry you, only you can marry her. But you are all young people with open minds. In fact, marrying into the wife's family is no different from her marrying you, it's just a different way of saying it."
He rubbed his temples. For others, this was a difficult condition to accept. After all, a grown man marrying into a woman's family in this era was also a proof of being a gigolo. However, Yu Sheng didn't care about this kind of thing. He thought about it and said, "Personally, I don't have any problem with this. But it seems that your daughter disagrees."
"It's not her turn to make the decisions for this family! You can rest assured about this. As long as you agree, she will get married even if she doesn't want to. The development and survival of the family is not a joke." Qiu Xiongyi said confidently.
However, Yu Sheng shook his head and said, "That being said, I don't want to force anyone to do anything. Besides, this is someone I'll be with day and night in the future, so forget it."
"My dear nephew, are you sure? If you are not engaged, it will be difficult for the Qiu family to protect you even in the Fog City. After all, the Qiu family is a big family, and it is impossible for them to spend a huge price for an outsider. You must be very clear about this." Qiu Xiongyi advised.
He knew Yu Sheng very well and knew that he had amazing abilities. If he could join the Qiu family, it would definitely be of great help to Qiu Ziling in controlling the Qiu family, and it would also be a great opportunity for the Qiu family.
However, Yu Sheng said seriously: "This is a bit unreasonable. Now let's think about how to deal with the guests. There are quite a few guests in the manor. Do they all know that today is the day when the young lady and I are engaged?"
"How is that possible? Only a few people knew about it. The invitation just said there was a happy event, and we were also afraid that my girl would find out and cause trouble in advance. So we didn't mention the engagement." Qiu Xiongyi said with a sigh.
Although he lives in a large family, Qiu Ziling actually does not have the strength to compete with his other cousins for the position of head of the family.
In addition, I am not very motivated and have a little temper, which has led to the current situation. Qiu Xiongyi originally wanted to take advantage of Yu Sheng's power, but he didn't expect to make such a mistake.
“Then just find an excuse to get away with it!” Yu Sheng thought about it and decided that since he didn’t know about getting married, it could be considered a blessing in disguise.
However, Qiu Xiongyi said with a grim expression: "I'm afraid that won't work. Since the original intention was to let others know that you joined the Qiu family, there are actually quite a few people from hostile forces among the guests at today's banquet. If you don't join the Qiu family today, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble after you go out today. Although that old man He Jun is not a decent person, he is my good friend after all. If I just send that group of people away, I will watch you die."
“Is it that powerful!?” Yu Sheng said somewhat unsurely.
Qiu Xiongyi took Yu Sheng to his study, took out a document and said, "These are the guys you are currently provoking. The Xu family and the Zhou family. The Zhou family is easy to deal with. The people they sent this time are just here to discuss the situation. The person they sent is Zhou Yilong, who has an intersection with you. The Xu family is different. They sent a lot of people this time. And many of them are assassins."
"Xu family!?" Yu Sheng knew what was going on with the Zhou family where Zhou Yilong was, but he had no idea when he had offended the Xu family. He said speechlessly, "Did I offend them?"
"Xu Youfu, the leader of the Giant Shark Gang at Giant Shark Beach. You know this person, right?" Qiu Xiongyi reminded.
After thinking carefully, Yu Sheng said speechlessly: "I don't know! The Giant Shark Gang knows about it. I sent one of their leaders to jail, but I don't think I should offend them like this. Let them fight me at all costs. They are just a small local gang. Even if I kill them now, I believe not many people will object."
Holding the information, Qiu Xiongyi explained, "They once planned to kill your parents, but were stopped by He Jun. It is unwise to have you as an enemy. But they don't seem to give up. It looks like they are ready to kill you. The Xu family should not be underestimated. It is a mafia family, and the Giant Shark Gang is just an inconspicuous branch of it. Based on the information, we can roughly infer that they are so concerned about you in order to please the brothers Liu Chujun and Liu Chunan."
"So it's these two guys? They are really like a centipede that is dying but still persists." Yu Sheng frowned slightly and clenched his fists, somewhat surprised at the details of the information.
After pondering for a moment, Qiu Xiongyi said, "That's right, because these two people are now inner disciples of Tianyi Pavilion, and it seems that they have the legendary immortal fate. And Tianyi Pavilion is one of the few relatively large immortal cultivation sects in China. I heard that it is very powerful, but I don't know the details. If you join my Qiu family, I believe that the Xu family will not dare to offend my ancestor. They will definitely retreat when they see difficulties. But if you don't join, then the other party will definitely find an opportunity to attack."
“But getting married is too ridiculous! How about Miss Qiu and I become sworn sisters? That way I’ll be half a member of the Qiu family.” Yu Sheng was speechless and said with a lot of imagination.
The corner of his eye twitched, and Qiu Xiongyi said speechlessly: "Although you are considered half a member of the Qiu family, you are only half. It is still very difficult for us Qiu family to protect you. This Xu family is not easy to deal with, with all kinds of people and complicated connections. If they don't know that you are not easy to deal with, they will definitely not give up."
"Is that so? It's not easy to deal with." Yu Sheng snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "If that's the case, we don't have to get married. We still have other ways and methods."
"What method?" Qiu Xiongyi asked puzzledly.
Yu Sheng only whispered a few words in Qiu Xiongyi's ear.
Qiu Xiongyi was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Yu Sheng in disbelief and said, "This method is good. But is it really useful? If it doesn't work, you will be in trouble."
"Don't worry, don't worry..." Yu Sheng said confidently, "This is almost the same as getting married. And I believe Miss Qiu can accept it."
"Then give it a try. I hope it works." Qiu Xiongyi said with gritted teeth.
