I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

The original owner would draw when he was tired of studying, so there were actually quite a few drafts saved in the computer. Yueying found the folder and updated the serialized comics on it.

——Is there any gift you would like for your thank-you party next week?

When Ding Yanxi saw the update notification pushed by the system, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and then his smile widened.

——Asking people what they want after giving them a gift shows no sincerity at all.

——I just don’t like doing things that please myself but are disliked by the other party.

After seeing this message, Yueying became interested in continuing the conversation. This topic was actually quite to her liking.

——I just returned to the Lu family. My father wanted to move the shopping mall back home so that I could have everything I needed.

She honestly expressed her current situation and indeed had no material deficiencies.

——So do you have any preferences?

Preferred things? Yueying thought about how she had traveled through so many worlds, and the space had everything she needed. It seemed that she had lost the need for external things.

--gourmet food.

Ding Yanxi smiled when he saw the message on his mobile phone, as if the answer was unexpected yet reasonable.

——It seems that I have to do things that please myself.

Haha, it doesn’t matter, you can give me anything. Yueying can also accept it if you just give me money.

——Well, I want to ask, are all the grandchildren of your Ding family named Yan?

——Yes, what’s wrong?

——Oh, just asking out of curiosity.

They are all Yan, so the male protagonist is not a bastard, right? That's why he hasn't appeared yet, but it's okay, if I can avoid him, this world will be very useful.

Unexpectedly, Ding Yanxi, Ding Yanle and two other grandsons of the Ding family all failed to compete for an illegitimate child. After all, in the article, Ding Yibai seemed to have inherited the Ding family later.

——Are you still living in the Lu family?

--Um.

——Is your sister still causing trouble?

--without.

After asking the curious questions, Yueying was not interested in chatting with him any more, which directly caused Ding Yanxi to not know what to say. Although she kept replying to messages, it was obvious that she had no intention of continuing to chat with him.

These days, Lu Dingnan has not been busy with business. He has turned down all the meetings and social engagements that required overtime. Whenever he has time, he takes Yueying out shopping. When they went shopping in several high-end stores, they were stared at with strange looks by some of the shopping guides.

As for Lu Zirui, when he was not doing his own things at home, he would always stick to Sister Yueying and talk about her all the time, leaving her with no time to keep an eye on Lu Xiaowei.

Strangely enough, Lu Xiaowei didn't get angry or cause trouble when he saw that his two family members were particularly nice to him. All in all, Yueying had a very comfortable stay at the Lu family this week.

"Dad, tomorrow Dad Qiu and Grandpa are going to give me a small thank-you banquet for my teachers, so I'm going to stay there today."

"Okay, let me bring some gifts to your father Qiu and grandfather Qiu. Oh, and the fine tea that I asked Lao Liu to buy a few days ago."

Lu Dingnan personally sent Yueying to the Qiu family and also gave them a bunch of gifts. The situation at the Qiu family was a bit awkward before, so he did not go to their house to thank them right away.

This time, he took the opportunity to send Yueying over and prepared some more gifts. After all, it was the other person who had raised his child unilaterally for so many years.

"This is about all the evidence we have about Li Qiao's past. I want to talk to you first to see the Lu family's attitude towards this matter. If you want to help her fight the lawsuit for the sake of your relationship with your husband or your adopted daughter, our two families may not be able to get along like this in the future."

Old Master Qiu kept Lu Dingnan in the study and talked about the matter of preparing to sue Li Qiao for hiring a killer to commit murder. While speaking, he glanced at the door of the room, obviously reminding himself of the suffering his own daughter had endured at the hands of that woman.

The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh and blood. Things have come to this point. Lu Dingnan really doesn't want Lu Xiaowei to bear the reputation of a criminal's daughter, but as for his own biological daughter...

"I'll go back and think about it carefully."

Today, Lu Dingnan finally did not leave a definite message to the Qiu family. In his opinion, Yueying is doing well now, and he can just compensate her more in the future. There is really no need to ruin another child.

The Qiu family's farewell banquet for teachers was much simpler. They just invited Yueying's teachers and relatives and friends who often visited each other, and set up six tables.

What surprised Yueying was that the Ding family occupied only two tables. There were not so many people at the blind date party.

Especially since the Lu family also sent invitations to the Ding family for their thank-you banquet, but in the end no one showed up. It seems like they were trying to support the Qiu family?

"If you ask me, the old man is biased. He clearly had an engagement, but he waited until our Yan He was about to get married before telling us."

I don’t know if she took the opportunity to get drunk and crazy, but He Li, the second daughter-in-law of the Ding family, shouted loudly in front of the Qiu family that the old man was unfair.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't Yanlang get married a long time ago?"

"But I have another one at home."

He Li and her husband spoke in unison, and Yueying felt embarrassed listening to them.

"My brother doesn't like this country bumpkin who only knows how to study hard~"

The girl sitting next to Ding Yanxi glanced at her aunt and said this in a neither loud nor soft voice.

Bumpkin? Yueying glanced at her clothes. She considered that the father and son of the Qiu family were used to ordinary people's lives and did not like extravagance. They ate and wore everyday brands. Naturally, she just picked a dress worth a few hundred yuan today.

"Ding Minxin, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Before the elders could get angry, Ding Yanxi said loudly with a gloomy face, which frightened the little girl. She looked at the eyes of the people at the table, then looked at her brother, and burst into tears.

"She is! She was causing trouble at Grandpa's birthday party, and cousin Lele also said she was not presentable."

The girl was young and had a simple mind. After hearing what her family members talked about, she naturally spoke without thinking.

"Xiao Xin, what nonsense are you talking about? Ah Le is Xiao Ying's fiancé. If you talk nonsense like this, it will destroy the relationship between your brother and sister-in-law."

When Jiang Xin heard that her niece had sex with her son, she immediately jumped out to defend her son.

Yueying didn't notice that while she was watching the performance at the table with a faint smile, Old Man Ding and Ding Yanxi's mother Chi Ruonan were observing her.

"I'm not kidding, that's what Lele's cousin said when he called."

If you don't think too much about it, it's quite funny that a little girl of about ten years old protected her brother and accidentally betrayed her cousin.

Looking at Ding Yanle again, he didn't know where to look for a moment when his sister exposed him in public for saying bad things about his fiancée behind her back. Jiang Xin touched him and he didn't know what to say. After all, he was just an eighteen-year-old boy who valued his likes and dislikes more than anything else.

Yueying found this situation gratifying, so she might as well take this opportunity to cancel the engagement.

"grandfather……"

"grandfather."

Yueying was interrupted by a voice just as she opened her mouth. She turned her head and saw Ding Yanxi looking at her with a smile on his face. She had no choice but to smile and motion for him to speak first, after all, he was the guest.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Qiu, we hadn't really decided who Xiaoying would marry at that time. I want to get engaged to Xiaoying."

After Ding Yanxi finished speaking, he didn't give others a chance to react. He turned around and continued speaking to Yueying.

"I told you a few days ago, but you haven't replied yet. I like you very much. Can you try to get to know me?"

In this situation, the other party asked very politely, and no one could say no, right? Yueying could only smile and nodded.

Taking advantage of Yueying's reaction, Ding Yanxi took out the gift he brought and opened it to reveal a pink diamond necklace. The design was exquisite and it looked very valuable. It would cost tens of millions to get it.

Yueying was about to refuse, after all, the two of them had nothing to do with each other, and she didn't want to accept a gift that was too expensive. Ding Yanxi took out the necklace and put it on her directly, then whispered something behind her.

"A birthday gift for my girlfriend."

"No wonder cousin Xiao Xi fought with auntie for it that day, it turned out to be a love gift."

The person who was speaking was the granddaughter of the second house, who was about the same age as herself, named Ding Manxi. Yueying glanced at her, not quite understanding what she meant by that. Was it Jiang Xin who had taken a fancy to this necklace first?

The elderly people from both sides watched the interaction between the two and began to think about it.

"Oh, that's enough. The engagement is finally settled."

"Yes."

"Yanxi, how old is your younger sister, you should be more considerate of her in the future, otherwise I will punish you."

"Hey, I think Yanxi is a good kid."

Again? Yueying listened to the two old men talking in unison. She had clearly agreed to try to understand Ding Yanxi, so how did they say that she had agreed to the marriage between the two families?

She originally wanted to bring up Lu Dingnan, thinking that she had to ask him about this matter. However, this thought only flashed through her mind. It was useless to ask Lu Dingnan. In the eyes of the Ding family, the Lu family was not good enough, not to mention that he should be happy to marry into the Ding family.

The little girl who was making a scene just now stopped crying. The child was dumbfounded. How could the girl that even her cousin disliked become her sister-in-law now?

"Xiaoying, since this matter has been settled, you two should get along well with each other. When you get married, I will give you the shares as a dowry."

"grandfather."

Yueying learned from Ding Yanxi last time that the children of the Ding family seemed to be unaware of the Qiu family's shareholding. Seeing her grandfather say that, she was actually a little anxious. It wasn't that she thought of any personal injury, but she was worried that other members of the Ding family would find reasons to target her.

Sure enough, as soon as Grandpa Qiu finished speaking, some people started talking with their heads down.

Old Master Ding was in a good mood. He felt that something was wrong with Ding Yanxi recently. It seemed that his grandson really liked Xiaoying. The most feared thing about family marriage arrangements is the creation of resentful couples. If there is an engagement and the two parties are in love with each other, that is what the elders most want to see.

"Mr. Qiu holds 33% of the group's shares, so I said at the beginning that whoever fulfills the marriage contract will be the one to take over the company in the future."

"what?"

Jiang Xin couldn't believe it. She had heard before that Mr. Qiu seemed to have some shares, but she didn't expect it to be so many. Thinking of Ding Yanle's performance just now, she wanted to take him home and beat him up.

Before his sons got married, Mr. Ding gave each of them 5% of the shares. Later, when each of his grandchildren came of age, he gave 1%.

Now there are three families sitting here, and no one girl has a large share.

"Don't be surprised. I only told you that the old squad leader saved my life. But you don't know that in addition to saving my life, the startup capital of the company was also raised by the old squad leader by selling all his belongings and mortgaging his property. If I had failed at that time, he would have been on the verge of death."

After saying this, I saw that Mr. Ding's eyes were filled with tears and he looked a little excited.

"It's been so many years, why bring this up?"

"In case the children don't understand."

Grandpa Ding sighed and said that his children and grandchildren had not suffered much, so he naturally knew that some of his children would not understand.

"The company's shares have been changed several times, and the old squad leader asked for a reduction every time. His shares have been reduced from 80% to only 35% now, so you should not be confused."

Now, except for Ding Minxin who is a minor, all other grandchildren in the Ding family have received 1% of the shares. Together with the 15% received by their parents, the old man has given a total of 21% of the shares.

In the children's perception, the old man should still have 59% in his hands, but who would have thought that suddenly there was only 26% left.

Almost everyone realized that if Yueying married Ding Yanxi, the old man would probably give all the rest to him alone. After all, only with enough shares could one have full control over the company.

"You're crazy, you're crazy. Look at what you've done. Just now at the banquet, if you had said a few more words to that damn girl, what would have happened?"

"That damn girl caught me saying bad things about me behind my back. I didn't even dare to say a word. You ruined my engagement."

Ding Yanle himself returned home in shock. As soon as he entered the door, his mother picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it at him.

Did he regret it later? To be honest, he did regret it, but before that, he just felt that he didn't like Yueying in every way. Maybe he was dissatisfied when he heard that he had to marry a girl from a poor family just because she saved his grandfather's life, or maybe he was embarrassed that his grandfather asked the girl to choose between the two brothers and he was the one chosen, so he chose to blindly support his stepsister at his grandfather's birthday party.

"Hahaha, this is so funny, Ding Yanle's face must have turned green."

In the evening, Yueying video-called Lu Zirui and told him what happened at the dinner table in the afternoon. The young man laughed so hard that he rolled on the bed.

"No, I think he hadn't reacted when he left. His IQ isn't up to par."

Yueying thought about it for a moment, then waved her hand in disgust.

"Did he think that he was valued by his grandfather and was the prince of the Ding family?"

Lu Zirui is a man who enjoys watching a show and is also very harsh in his words.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"You have the throne to inherit, how dare you be picky about my outstanding sister?!"

What I mean is, I was polite and smiling when we first two times met, but he still described me like that to others. It makes me angry just thinking about it.

"Yes, Ding Yanxi's sister even heard him and called her friends to tell them that I was not presentable."
