The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Father Xing looked up and stared directly at his adopted son, his brows sharp, clearly indicating that his adopted son knew something about his youth.

How could he not understand his son's thoughts when he had sculpted the child himself?

An adopted son is fighting for the family property.

It's okay to fight, but you can't actually kill your own family members.

Upon hearing this, Xing Zhengyu's heart skipped a beat, wondering if he had made a mistake.

Pei Youyou loves to show off, so you need to encourage her a little.

Mothers are emotional and sentimental; you need to appeal to their emotions.

My younger sister is innocent and kind; all she needs is to be a gentle and considerate older brother.

The father is shrewd and profit-driven, and he is not hesitant to show his ambition and the corresponding abilities.

The first two were successful.

Xing Yuru didn't need him to tell her specifically.

When he came to his father, he not only did not hide anything, but also tried to appeal to his emotions. Shouldn't he have done the latter?

The gamble has already been made.

We can only wait for good news.

Father Xing gazed at him intently for a moment, then continued carving. “But you are also a child I raised.”

Become!

Xing Zhengyu's eyes lit up.

"Thanks dad!"

"Don't be too happy yet," Xing's father reminded him. "Your grandparents are the happiest that Yanzhao is back."

Xing Zhengyu was overjoyed: "I will persuade my grandparents."

"Don't disappoint me." In the end, Xing's father still favored his son, who had carved the wood himself. After all, wood would generate warmth when held in one's hands for a long time.

If a wood carving is a gift from someone else, and it's not something you've been longing for, and the person giving the gift isn't a powerful figure, then that wood carving wouldn't end up in Xing's father's study.

Clearly, Xing Yanzhao was not as useful to Xing's father as Xing Zhengyu.

Xing Zhengyu knew this, which is why he was so fearless and unafraid of Xing Yanzhao's arrival, especially after the Pei family became one of his own forces.

Xing Zhengyu walked much more briskly.

Having overcome the most difficult hurdle, shouldn't the issue of the elderly couple in the old house be easily resolved?

He only needed to present Luo Huai's information to the two elders, and they would nod in satisfaction.

She is well-behaved, beautiful, and academically excellent. Even though both her parents have passed away, she has survived in the Pei family and hasn't gone astray. Such a gentle and resilient girl is loved by all the elders.

Especially Mr. and Mrs. Xing, who focused on raising their eldest son and chose a gentle, virtuous and dignified wife like Mrs. Xing for him.

The eldest son was also a good son; he wasn't troubled by love, broke up with his girlfriend, and married the person his parents had chosen.

The Xing family prefers a well-behaved and dignified daughter-in-law.

Luo Huai's family background was simply not good enough for him.

However, in the eyes of the two elders, Luo Huai's appearance and resume of the first half of her life were too outstanding. She was beautiful, but not seductive; intelligent, but not shrewd.

Although the two elders were unhappy that Xing Zhengyu was still staying in the Xing family and that he had stolen someone else's marriage, they were still very happy with their granddaughter-in-law, Luo Huai.

The two elders said they would consider it.

Xing Zhengyu knew that he was just dissatisfied with him and wanted to deliberately mess with his mentality.

Indeed, it did happen; everything changes in an instant.

Perhaps at some point, the two elders will suddenly object, and the father will go along with their wishes, while the mother will go along with the father's wishes.

The Pei family also encountered some minor setbacks.

Pei's parents disagreed. It wasn't that they didn't believe Xing Zhengyu could gain a foothold in the Xing family, but rather that they were afraid their daughter would be targeted by the real young master after marrying into the family.

After all, the Pei family changed their leadership first.

The young master has a bad temper. What if he starts bullying Xing Zhengyu and their daughter?

Luo Huai can bear this injustice alone.

Their daughter can't bear it.

However, Xing's mother and Xing Zhengyu arrived.

Pei Youyou happily took Xing Zhengyu's hand and went to the garden.

"These two children have such a good relationship," said Xing's mother with a gentle and dignified smile.

"Madam Xing."

"Mrs. Pei."

Women like Pei's mother, who no longer have a mother-in-law, are called "Madam," while women like Xing's mother, who still have both parents-in-law, are called "Madam."

In the old house, Madam Xing was the first wife, but outside, everyone called her Madam Xing. Her husband was the head of the Xing family, so when people said Madam Xing, they were generally referring to her.

Madam Pei replied, "Madam Xing, please sit down."

Mrs. Xing sat down and got straight to the point: "Chairman Pei, Mrs. Pei, I'm here today mainly to discuss the marriages of our four children."

The three chatted for a while.

Two couples are getting married on the same day; neither can be missed.

The Xing family can easily provide two sets of betrothal gifts, and they don't need to worry about the wedding. Even if they get married tomorrow, or even if they are three couples, as long as they have money and power, they can have the wedding venue arranged by the time they wake up.

Pei's parents thought that since it was Madam Xing who came to speak on behalf of Xing Zhengyu, it meant that Xing Zhengyu held a high position in the Xing family.

Xing Zhengyu also came in person.

The real young master, however, has not shown up yet.

They couldn't bear to see their daughter sad, so they nodded.

Finally, Madam Pei asked Madam Xing if she wanted to see Luo Huai.

Xing's mother politely declined.

He clearly doesn't care about this daughter-in-law.

But it's impossible to tell whether they like or dislike it.

As the Xing family mother and son left, Pei Yuanzhou happened to return and saw the Xing family's car.

Before he could ask, Pei Youyou skipped over and took his arm to share her joy.

"Brother, those were Aunt Xing and Brother Zhengyu just now. Mom and Dad and the Xing family have agreed to my marriage with Brother Zhengyu!"

Pei Yuanzhou's first reaction was: "Luo Huai doesn't need to get married?"

A glimmer of hope flickered in his eyes.

"She must marry him," said Mother Pei. "Luo Huai will marry Xing Yanzhao, and Youyou will marry Xing Zhengyu. They will both be married on the same day. If Luo Huai doesn't marry him, your sister will have to marry Xing Yanzhao, who grew up picking up trash."

Pei's father specifically instructed: "Keep it a secret from Luo Huai. If she finds out and refuses to marry, and runs away from the wedding, your sister's life will be ruined."

……

The wedding day.

The three members of the Luo family and Zhu Shuangshuang accompanied Luo Huai to her wedding.

They were not invited to the wedding banquet, so they could only see Luo Huai off to the wedding car.

The Xing family's wedding party arrived, and there were quite a few of them.

The wedding procession at the entrance of the residential area was decorated with red cloth and flowers, creating a grand and festive atmosphere.

They weren't just going through the motions.

However, the true young master of the Xing family did not show up.

The car started moving, and the windows were closed.

Thinking about marrying a "bully," Luo Huai's palms, which were holding flowers, gradually became sweaty.

Regardless of what the future holds, we'll take it one step at a time.

While waiting for the green light at the intersection, I encountered another wedding convoy, all Maybachs, stretching as far as the eye could see. It must be another wealthy family getting married.

Today is truly an auspicious day for marriage, Luo Huai thought to himself.

The light turned green, and cars began to move forward one after another.

Another wedding convoy was heading in the same direction as them and didn't change lanes. They even sped up and drove in front of them.

Strangely, the convoy also stopped in front of the hotel where Xing and Pei's families were holding their wedding, even before hers.

Luo Huai felt a sudden tightness in his chest, as if something was stuck there.

The front door of the car opened, and a tall, slender man in a brown suit stepped out.

When the man turned around, Luo Huai saw that he was wearing a groom's boutonniere.

Upon closer inspection, I didn't recognize it.

For wealthy families like Xing and Pei, the hotels where they hold their weddings naturally do not allow other people or the newlyweds to appear.

So, isn't the man wearing the groom's boutonniere the real young master of the Xing family?

The man's elegant and refined demeanor didn't seem to match the rumored hot-tempered and rude young master at all...

As Luo Huai was lost in thought, the car door opened from the outside, and the driver respectfully said, "Young Madam, please get out of the car."

"Oh, okay." Luo Huai smiled at him, and as soon as she got off the car and stood up, she couldn't help but look ahead, wanting to ask who else in the Xing family was getting married today.

A familiar figure turned around.

Pei Youyou smiled and raised her hand at her, her fingers moving slightly. She winked charmingly, her face showing both contempt and smugness.

The shape of his mouth seems to say, "Hi~ Luo Huai".

It was like a bucket of cold water being poured directly onto Luo Huai's head.

For a moment, she even forgot to breathe.
