Chapter 667: Worshiping the Mother-in-Law
Shi Xinyu came here to give Yu Meitong a gift this time, to seal the friendship of several years. After so many things, I know who is sincere and who is fake.
Because the Tao family did not invite Teacher Xinyu, she left after giving the gifts and talking for a while. Even though breaking off the engagement was not good-looking at first, this is the best way to deal with it.
Not long after she left, Zong Shimeng came over and was a little sad to know her current situation: "Her family's business has been sluggish in the past two years and has been going downhill. Then the three brothers also had conflicts after they got married. Her parents still She was enlightened and immediately divided the family between the three brothers. She gave her a generous dowry when she got married, so she didn’t give anything during the separation. "
Hearing this, Yu Meitong couldn't help but sneer: "You say you love this daughter the most, but it turns out that the company has no share of her at all. Sure enough, no one else is as good as what she has."
Zong Shimeng felt that she couldn't say that: "When she got married, her parents prepared a dowry of more than 50 million yuan, and all the cash was used to buy a house and stocks. She doesn't know how to do business, and the company's future is uncertain, so she might as well take it. The money is safe and her life is no worse than that of her three brothers."
Hearing this, Lu Jiaxin couldn't help but think of a joke from later generations: They are not afraid that the second generation will be useless, but they are afraid that the second generation will start a business. If you are a loser, just lie down and have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. If you start a business, you may run out of money within a few years.
After a while, Yu Meitong's mother came over, and Lu Jiaxin and Zong Shimeng stepped aside. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yu was the only one holding Yu Meitong to talk, while her sister-in-law and siblings came to Lu Jiaxin and Zong Shimeng to talk.
Lu Jiaxin had nothing to say to them, so she took a financial magazine to read. Zong Shimeng chatted with them more tactfully.
About twenty minutes later, Tao Yong came over.
Yu Meitong was not from Star City, so she got married in a hotel. The first stop was the Tao family's old house. When they arrived in the main hall, they saw a man and woman dressed in festive clothes sitting on the sofa. The man looks very similar to Tao Yong. He looks to be in his sixties and has half-white hair. The woman next to him looks to be in her thirties. This is Tao Yong's stepmother Lu Yu'e. As far as she knows, this woman is also in her forties. Yes, I have to say it is well maintained.
The master of ceremonies led the newlyweds to Father Tao and Mrs. Tao. As soon as they stood still, someone brought tea. It is a traditional custom for a daughter-in-law to serve tea to her parents-in-law when she enters the house.
Looking at this shrewd woman, Lu Jiaxin sighed in her heart. She felt uncomfortable when she was asked to handle the wedding, and she pretended to be dead during the tea ceremony.
When serving tea to Mr. Tao, Yu Meitong was very cooperative. She knelt down to take the tea and raised her hands to serve it. When it was Lu Yu'e's turn, Yu Meitong raised her tea cup and said softly: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will take good care of A Yong in the future. Don't worry if you are under Jiuquan!"
After saying that, he poured the tea in front of the mat.
As soon as he said these words, the busy living room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The people in the living room stared at the brave bride in stunned silence. Lu Yu'e's face looked as if she had opened a dyeing workshop, and she was about to faint from anger.
Mr. Tao scolded directly: "Is this how your Yu family teaches your daughter?"
Yu Meitong was not afraid of him and said: "After my mother-in-law died of illness, Ayong went to a boarding school and later studied abroad. He came back and worked in his own company for more than a month before he was forced to leave. At that time, he was like a beggar. I gave him 10 million, and then said arrogantly that I would not give him a penny in the future, and that the family’s property also had nothing to do with him.”
"Father, I offer you tea because you raised A Yong to be a grown-up even if you were biased. Who is she? She deserves to be served tea by me."
Fortunately, her father was ill and didn't come, otherwise the Tao family wouldn't be able to do anything to her, and his father would flip her table over first.
Master Tao was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Tao Yong and said, "If you still recognize me as your father, break up with this woman."
Tao Yong stood up, and then Yu Meitong also stood up: "When I was a child, she provoked discord, and I was often scolded by you. For this kind of femme fatale woman, it would be very kind of me not to retaliate against her, and she also wants me to be with Meitong. Tea, where does the face come from?”
His brother and half-brother wanted to get the company, so these people tried their best to please and flatter the old man. He started his own business, and the company has never relied on his family until now, so he is not afraid of falling out at all.
Seeing that there was going to be a stalemate, an elder from the Tao family quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "It's getting late. The bride and groom should go to the hotel."
If the newlyweds don't go to the hotel to hold the wedding, it will be embarrassing for him and the entire Tao family. Master Tao waved his hand: "Hurry to the hotel."
Seeing that he had no objection, the Tao elders quickly asked the newcomer to go to the hotel. Brother Tao and his wife were particularly relieved. After fighting with Lu Yu'e for so many years, they still had to politely call Aunt Lu on their faces, while Sister Tao still had to create the illusion of harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. How dare Tao Yong and his wife step on Lu Yu'e's face on the ground. The old man said that after giving his second son a start-up fund, he would not be divided among the family property, and he would not be afraid of falling out.
Lu Jiaxin walked up to Yu Meitong and deliberately raised her voice and said, "Tao Yong, your family is too stingy. Meitong didn't even get a red envelope when serving tea."
When the people around him heard this, they fell silent for a moment. It was really not a big deal to watch the excitement.
Zong Shimeng pulled off Lu Jiaxin's sleeve, and then glanced at her, meaning not to add fuel to the fire, otherwise it would be bad if the wedding was really messed up.
On the way to the hotel, Yu Meitong held Lu Jiaxin's hand and said with red eyes: "Jiaxin, thank you."
If it was her father, he would have scolded her directly, and would not have supported her. In fact, she was a little hesitant last night, thinking that it would not be good to make a mess of her lifelong event. She thought that the other party was kind, so she would just endure it. But she didn't expect that this woman was dressed up and wore jewelry worth millions of dollars. She was so popular that she would overshadow her as the bride, so she was unwilling to endure it.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't blame me for giving bad advice."
Yu Meitong shook her head and said, "A kind person will be bullied, and a kind horse will be ridden. I have set my attitude today, and no one in the Tao family will dare to provoke me in the future."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "In the future? Who knows if the Tao family's company will still be there in ten or eight years."
Seeing Tao Yong looking at her, Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I won't do anything to the Tao family's company. I'm not just sitting there doing nothing."
"In recent years, many old companies in Hong Kong have gone bankrupt. If the Tao family's company does not innovate and change, it will definitely go the old way."
It is not aimed at the Tao family's company, but the market law. Every day, new companies are established, while others go bankrupt and disappear.
Tao Yong did not speak. If the old man did not decide on his brother's successor status, he might end up in the family's trap if he continued to fight like this. However, the bankruptcy of the Tao family company did not affect him. Of course, he did not want the Tao family to go bankrupt, otherwise the old man would definitely look for him when he ran out of money.
