marriage [big family]

When he walked out of the courthouse, the sun was scorching hot outside. Yao Jinxi took out his mobile phone and called Lu Ming who was thousands of miles away: "It's over..."

"what's the result?"

"It is not established, and the crime of wounding is not established," Yao Jinxi said with relief: "I can go back."

A case has dragged on for several months, and today the dust is finally settled. Although there was another video that proved that the murderer was not Yao Jinxi, he was still prosecuted by the Prosecutor's Office on the charge of intentional wounding. After that, the case was finally concluded with justifiable self-defense and no sentence.

Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He was very busy with work, so it was impossible for him to stay with Yao Jinxi all the time waiting for the trial in London. Although the phone calls continued every day, he was still thinking about the progress of the case. Today, he finally knew the final result, and finally It's completely letting go of the big stone in my heart.

"Then come back quickly."

Yao Jinxi smiled: "Okay, I'll go back after dealing with the follow-up matters."

It was another two weeks after Yao Jinxi had dealt with all the matters and handed over the inheritance, signed the last name, and booked the plane ticket on the same day, but before departure, he received a call from someone he didn't expect.

It was Lu Ming's great-grandpa who called, inviting him to New York and asking him not to tell Lu Ming.

Yao Jinxi only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. As he said, he did not tell Lu Ming about the matter, but only told him that he would be back a few days later and then refunded the ticket to New York.

As for the reason why old man Lu asked him to go to New York alone, Yao Jinxi couldn't guess and didn't want to guess, but it was because the other party was Lu Ming's great-grandfather, so he respected him and gave him face.

Lu Mingyuan was also in New York, and since meeting Lu Ming that time, he obediently came back here to serve the bedside as a filial piety, and he has been very peaceful in the past few months without running around.

And obviously he didn't know that Mr. Lu would call Yao Jinxi to come, and he was very surprised to see Yao Jinxi appearing alone outside his house. Yao Jinxi didn't explain too much to him, and the servant led him in after saying hello. go.

Mr. Lu has been in poor health since the operation. He needed to rest on the couch for a long time. Coupled with the shock of Lu Xun being killed, Yao Jinxi now sees him. Compared with a year ago, he obviously feels older Much more, the spirit is not as good as before.After just one glance, Yao Jinxi politely withdrew her scrutiny and walked up to say hello first.

The other party leaned against the head of the bed, raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said "um" calmly, motioning him to sit down in the chair beside him.

After all the idlers retreated, and only Yao Jinxi and Mr. Lu were left in the room, the other party said, "I called you here because I want to talk to you about your affairs with Lu Ming."

Yao Jinxi nodded: "Say it."

"Your marriage with Lu Ming, in my opinion, is a farce like a child's play. At the beginning, Lu Ming insisted on marrying you. I didn't object but I didn't want to make the relationship between our grandparents and grandchildren stiff. From the beginning to the end, In the end, I don't agree with this marriage. The Lu family can be regarded as a respectable upper-class family in New York, and your family is even a British nobleman. It's a big event for the family, but in the end your wedding was held in the UK in a low-key way, with only a handful of people attending, and even many members of the Lu family don't even know that Lu Ming is married, you should know the reason for this."

"Because we are all men?" Yao Jinxi felt that it would be ridiculous to talk about it now, but since Mr. Lu wanted to say it, he also patiently accompanied him: "The wind is not beautiful, whether others know it is not me and Lu Ming What matters, marriage is for the two of us and has nothing to do with others."

"In the Lu family, marriage is not just about one person," Mr. Lu interrupted him displeasedly: "Lu Ming is my most important junior, and I plan to leave my whole life to him. I can't look at him. Go wrong again."

"Do you think it was a mistake for him to marry me?" Yao Jinxi disagreed: "You have so many descendants, why should you put all your treasures on Lu Ming alone, he may not be able to bear it."

"Lu Ming was raised by me. I put a lot of energy and effort into him. He is the most satisfying one among my descendants. I can't watch him go astray. Same-sex marriage is legal even in the UK. Yes, but this is the United States and New York, there are still many conservatives, and Lu Ming will return to the New York head office sooner or later, I can't see him affecting his future because of your relationship."

"Because you put all your effort and effort into him, so he must give you something in return, otherwise you will lose the business. Is this how you calculate? You have to be so fussy about Lu Ming to be in line with your shrewd calculations. image of a businessman?"

Yao Jinxi's teeth were sharp and his mouth was sharp, and he didn't back down. Mr. Lu's complexion became ugly: "You won't be separated from Lu Ming no matter what, are you?"

"Unless he offers, I'm not going to break up with him."

"Since you really like him, you have to think about him. Emily is Lu Ming's childhood sweetheart. Her father is a member of Congress. Behind him is the largest private bank in New York. Laysong's loan business almost depends on her family. We have a long-term cooperative relationship with them, she likes Lu Ming, if Lu Ming can marry her, she will have more say in Lesong in the future..."

"Lu Ming is already married to me," Yao Jinxi interrupted him, almost losing his patience: "We are all men and equal, I don't need to make concessions for him, and I also won't ask him to make such concessions for me. What's more, the reason why you agreed to marry him and me back then was not because the cooperation between LK and Lai Song could bring you benefits. Now that LK has encountered some troubles, you want to terminate the contract, so even the marriage between Lu Ming and me is also a problem. Do you want to cancel it together? Even if I really let it go, Lu Ming married that congress lady as you wished, and there will be other changes in the future. Maybe her father's career is not going well, or her family's bank has an economic crisis, and it can no longer bring you any benefits. Will you ask Lu Ming to divorce for a second time? In your eyes, is Lu Ming just a tool you use to make deals?"

Mr. Lu's face was completely dark, and Yao Jinxi continued with the last sentence: "So no matter what, unless he takes the initiative, I will not give up."

-

Lu Mingyuan hung up the phone when Yao Jinxi came downstairs. Seeing his complexion, he hesitated for a moment, got up and went up to meet him, and asked him, "Brother Arthur, doesn't my brother know you're here?"

"Didn't tell him."

"No wonder I called him just now. He was surprised to hear that you came here suddenly. Grandpa... He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Yao Jinxi glanced at him and asked, "Where's Angus? Didn't he come with you?"

"...Here he is, he's staying in a hotel."

"Does your great-grandfather know about your affairs?"

"……Know."

"He doesn't object?"

Lu Mingyuan smiled dryly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't have any skills, my great-grandfather never placed any expectations on me, and he won't care how I mess around."

"Your brother is not as lucky as you..." Yao Jinxi said this, and I don't know whether it is feeling or envy.

"Brother Arthur, don't worry about what your great-grandfather says. My brother won't compromise just because of his great-grandfather. He's not that kind of person."

Yao Jinxi nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but Lu Mingyuan stopped him again and asked, "Do you want to go back now?"

"There are still some things to do in New York, let's talk about it in a few days." Yao Jinxi waved away after saying that.

As soon as he got back to the hotel where he was staying, Lu Ming called over there, asking him if his great-grandfather made things difficult for him.

Listening to his anxious and worried tone, Yao Jinxi smiled instead: "Don't worry, I'm not a little girl, I won't be overwhelmed after being bullied, and I won't give in to rude demands."

Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "Then when will you come back?"

"Let's talk about it in a few days. I still have some things to do here. I'll go back in a few days."

"You have something to do in New York?"

"Ah, Lawrence is back in New York, I want to find him to get some money to invest."

The previous preparations for the establishment of a new company were also delayed due to lawsuits. Yao Jinxi planned to start this time when he went back and not waste any more time.

"...Are you planning to attract venture capital? No need, it's not like we don't have funds."

"Don't worry about this, I have my own ideas."

"I'll go to New York with you..."

Yao Jinxi laughed: "Don't come, your great-grandpa already blamed me for dragging you down. If you suddenly put down your work and came to New York, I would really be called that in his eyes. You'll be a disaster."

Lu Ming was speechless: "Jinxi, your Chinese is not very good, so don't use words indiscriminately."

In fact, the first language of the two people is English, and they usually communicate in English, but because they have lived in China for these years, they are getting more and more used to speaking Chinese, but Yao Jinxi's Chinese level is not as good as that of Lu Ming. Okay, so it's understandable to use such ridiculous words occasionally, and Yao Jinxi will never blush because of this matter, and Lu Ming will tease him casually.

"Anyway, that's what it means. I'll be back next week. Don't come here to make trouble."

"...But I want to see you sooner, we haven't seen each other for almost three months."

The corners of Yao Jinxi's mouth twitched when he heard that, and Lu Ming spoke to him in such a coquettish tone, which was actually very useful to him: "That's not okay, don't come, I'll definitely go back after I've settled things, be good."

"Okay, okay." In the end, Lu Ming compromised: "Come back early, don't let me dove you and let me stay alone."

Lu Ming was delighted: "Your Chinese proficiency is not much better..."
