Chapter 736 Well Prepared
Chapter 736 Well Prepared
"Who said they live well?" Yang Jingwei sneered.
Bai Ruoshu looked at her in confusion.
"Mom, what do you mean?"
"When I went to toast, the old man drank a few more glasses and mentioned Liu He's child. If it's a girl, the second master will have to return part of the shares. After all, at Liu He's age, it's impossible for her to have another child. Is he waiting for the Gong family's shares to flow out?"
After hearing this, Bai Ruoshu was stunned.
She thought carefully about what Yang Jingwei had deliberately said when she was toasting, and immediately understood the hidden meaning behind her words.
"Mom, did you deliberately say in public that the second wife was pregnant with a girl?"
"Have you got it? There are many upper-class ladies at the table. Their interests are closely related to their husbands. If they listen to me, they will definitely think twice before cooperating with the Second Master again when they go back. As long as Gong Yao can seize the opportunity, why should he be afraid of not having any achievements in Gong's?"
Yang Jingwei raised an eyebrow at Bai Ruoshu.
Bai Ruoshu was about to laugh, but frowned again.
"Although the second wife does seem to be pregnant with a girl, what if it's a boy? We still won't get any benefits."
Yang Jingwei walked forward and looked in the direction where the car was going away.
"When has your mother ever fought a battle she was not prepared for? Those sanctimonious people say that boys and girls are the same, but in fact they all hope to have a boy, and even have clear rewards and punishments."
"Now everyone thinks that Liu He is pregnant with a girl. Liu He can either take a gamble or find a way to change the situation."
"As for the Second Master, he has been in a high position for many years. How could he give up his power? Give up his shares for a daughter? Do you really think that all men in the world are romantic?"
"It would be better to have another son."
Bai Ruoshu withdrew her gaze, thought for a few seconds, and understood what Yang Jingwei meant.
"Mom, it seems you are well prepared."
"The old man wants Gong Yao to marry you because he has his eyes on what I have, the leverage over the rich and powerful, and the Bai family's hidden industrial chain. Before we gain a firm foothold in Beijing, exposing these things too early will only be a death warrant for us, so the old man will use the company's current bottleneck to contain me and want me to obey him. Then we will muddy the waters of the Gong family and see who is the winner."
Yang Jingwei had a sly smile on her face.
Bai Ruoshu was worried and said, "What if the Second Madam and the Second Master don't fall for it? I heard from Gong Yao that the Second Master was unknown before because he didn't want to stand in the way of the Third Master. In fact, he is not a simple person either."
"Really? But I happen to know someone."
Willow grass.
Yang Jingwei didn't say anything clearly, but turned around and took Bai Ruoshu to find Gong Yao.
……
On their way back, Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen suddenly received a message from Sister Zhou.
"Zhiyi, don't forget the wedding."
"Well, can I forget your wedding?"
Lin Zhiyi was sincerely happy for Sister Zhou.
Sister Zhou and her husband planned to travel and get married, but the elders from the man’s family gave them a gift money.
So we planned to have a meal together before the trip, just as a formality.
Not grand.
"May I ask, is the Third Master coming?"
Sister Zhou sent a small expression.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at the man beside her, reserved and indifferent.
If she were dressed like this to attend an ordinary family's wedding, people who didn't know her would think she was going to buy a hotel.
Forget it.
"The Third Master has prepared a wedding gift for you, but he can't go."
"Okay. Then don't forget it."
"Um."
Finished chatting.
Gong Chen asked, "What's wrong?"
"Sister Zhou's wedding is the day after tomorrow. She asked me if you want to go. Don't worry, I have already declined for you." Lin Zhiyi said.
"How do you know I won't go with you?"
"Don't worry, Sister Zhou and I are not angry. You don't have to force yourself. Besides, I don't know any of Sister Zhou's friends. You will feel even more uncomfortable if you go there."
Lin Zhiyi knew Gong Chen's character.
Too troublesome.
There's really no need to bring him to someone else's wedding and put on a cold face.
Besides, Sister Zhou would definitely be grinning from ear to ear with the big red envelope Gong Chen gave her.
Gong Chen glanced at her and said nothing more.
He didn't mention it again until Sister Zhou's wedding.
Lin Zhiyi thought that he was a forgetful person.
It was not until she was dressed and ready to go out that Gong Chen, who was accompanying his daughter, glanced at her.
"Dress so formally?"
"No, don't you have to dress up for a wedding? At Bai Ruoshu's wedding, I didn't want to be bothered by her, so I just wore something casual."
Lin Zhiyi shook the hem of her skirt.
She was just wearing a dress with a white camel-hair coat over it.
Gong Chen picked up Xingxing and walked in front of her.
"Lin Zhiyi, speak now..."
"It's over. I'm almost too late. I promised Sister Zhou to go take pictures early. I'm leaving now."
Lin Zhiyi kissed Xingxing and turned to leave.
As soon as she took a step, her waist felt tighter and she was pulled back by Gong Chen.
"Is there something missing?"
Lin Zhiyi paused: "The child is..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xingxing tactfully lay on Gong Chen's shoulder and covered her ears.
Don't listen, don't watch.
Gong Chen leaned over and kissed Lin Zhiyi.
"Really, nothing to say?"
"Third Master, I leave the child to you. Bye."
Lin Zhiyi opened the door and ran away.
Of course she knew what Gong Chen wanted to say.
It's nothing more than attending Sister Zhou's wedding.
But in order not to overshadow the conversation, Lin Zhiyi could only pretend not to hear it.
After going downstairs and leaving by car, a figure came out from the corner.
……
Sister Zhou’s wedding scene was very simple.
Apart from some facade decorations outside, there was not even a ceremonial platform inside.
I just came here for the banquet.
Sister Zhou wore a simple floor-length wedding dress and looked very well matched with her husband standing next to him.
As soon as she saw Lin Zhiyi, she walked over with her skirt lifted.
"Zhiyi, you're here, this is my husband."
"Hello, Miss Lin. I often hear Zhou Zhou mention you."
The man looked very happy and couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
It can be seen that the man likes Sister Zhou very much.
Lin Zhiyi took out a sky blue velvet box from her bag.
"This is our wedding gift to you."
As she spoke, she winked at Sister Zhou.
Sister Zhou understood immediately. After opening the box, she looked at the jewel necklace inside and her eyes became starry.
"Isn't this too expensive?"
Sister Zhou’s husband was stunned.
“Is this… true?”
Sister Zhou pushed him and said, "Of course it's true. Zhiyi is a jewelry designer."
"Ms. Lin, thank you. When Zhou Zhou and I come back from our trip, we will definitely treat you to another good meal. No, several meals."
The man scratched his head embarrassedly.
My wife told me before that she had a very important friend, but I didn’t expect that he was really that important.
Lin Zhiyi chuckled: "No need, I have always regarded Sister Zhou as my sister, and she has always taken good care of me."
Sister Zhou's eyes turned red: "Stop talking, I'm going to cry if you keep talking. I spent three hours putting on makeup."
"Yes, yes, let your husband put it on for you." Lin Zhiyi said.
"Ah."
After putting on the jewel necklace, Sister Zhou's colleagues, friends and relatives from the south all looked at her with envy.
Sister Zhou approached Lin Zhiyi and whispered, "Zhiyi, thank you and Third Master for coming to support me, knowing that I didn't invite my family, right?"
"Sister Zhou, this is what Third Master meant. If you need anything in the future, just ask."
"Thank you." Sister Zhou was moved and said, "It's a pity that the Third Master didn't come."
After saying that, her husband came over.
"Wife, Miss Lin just mentioned us? Who else?"
