Chapter 682: Chapter 665: The Sacrificial Mother-in-Law

Shi Xinyu ca to give gifts to Yu itong this ti, to honor the years of friendship. After experiencing so much, it beca clear who was genuine and who was insincere.

Since the Tao Family didn’t invite Shi Xinyu, she left after giving her gift and chatting for a while. Given the unpleasantness of the broken engagent, handling it this way was the best.

Shortly after she left, Zong Shing ca over, and knowing her current situation, comnted with so sighs, “Her family’s business has been in decline for the past two years, and has been going downhill. After the three brothers got married, there were conflicts. Her parents are quite enlightened, and imdiately divided the family for the three brothers. When she got married, she received a generous dowry, so nothing was given during the division.”

Hearing this, Yu itong couldn’t help but chuckle, “They say they love this daughter the most, yet the company doesn’t give her a share. Indeed, what others have is not as good as what you have yourself.”

Zong Shing felt it shouldn’t be said that way, “When she got married, her parents prepared a dowry of over fifty million, which was spent on buying a house and stocks. She doesn’t know how to do business, and the company’s future is uncertain. It’s better to have money for safety. Her current life isn’t worse than her three brothers’.”

Hearing this, Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but rember a later saying: It’s not scary if the second generation is a failure, it’s scary if the second generation wants to start a business. If they’re a failure, they could live a life without worries about food and clothing, but if they start a business, they might lose everything in a few years.

After a while, Yu itong’s mother ca over, and Lu Jiaxin and Zong Shing stepped aside. Unexpectedly, only Madam Yu pulled Yu itong aside to talk, while her sister-in-law and sister-in-law gathered around Lu Jiaxin and Zong Shing to chat.

Lu Jiaxin had nothing to say to them, so she just picked up a finance magazine to read, while Zong Shing, being more sociable, chatted with them.

Twenty minutes later, Tao Yong arrived.

Yu itong is not from Star City, so she’s getting married at a hotel. The first stop is the Tao Family Old House, and upon arriving at the main hall, she sees a couple dressed festively sitting on the sofa. The man looks very much like Tao Yong and appears to be in his sixties, with hair partly grey; the woman beside him looks about thirty, but she’s actually over forty. This is Tao Yong’s stepmother Lv Yuye, who is well-preserved.

The emcee led the newlyweds to stand before Father Tao and Mrs. Tao, and no sooner had they settled than tea was brought. According to traditional customs, a daughter-in-law must serve tea to her parents-in-law when entering the house.

Seeing this shrewd woman, Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but sneer internally. Letting her manage the wedding was uncomfortable, and once the tea ceremony was over, she made an unexpected coback.

When serving tea to Old Master Tao, Yu itong was very cooperative, kneeling down, taking the tea, and offering it up with both hands. When it ca to Lv Yuye, Yu itong raised the teacup and said softly, “Mother-in-law, rest assured, I will take good care of Ah Yong in the future. You can rest easy in the afterlife!”

After saying this, she spilled the tea in front of the cushion.

As soon as these words fell, the lively living room suddenly beca so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The people in the living room stared in astonishnt at the bold bride, while Lv Yuye’s face turned various shades as if she were about to faint in anger.

Old Master Tao imdiately started scolding, “Is this how your Yu Family teaches daughters?”

Yu itong wasn’t afraid of him, saying, “After my mother-in-law passed away, Ah Yong went to boarding school and later studied abroad. When he ca back to the family company, he was pushed out after a little over a month. At that ti, you gave him a million as if handing out to a beggar, and arrogantly declared that not a penny more would be given to him, nor would the family assets concern him.”

“Father-in-law, I am serving you tea because even if you were biased, you raised Ah Yong to adulthood. Who does she think she is, to deserve my tea service?”

Luckily, her father wasn’t there due to illness, or else the Tao family couldn’t touch her; otherwise, her father would have turned the table on her first.

Old Master Tao was shaking with rage, pointing at Tao Yong, saying, “If you still recognize as your father, then cut ties with this woman.”

Tao Yong stood up, then pulled Yu itong up as well, “She used to sow discord, and I was often scolded by you. Such a venomous woman, it’s already kind of not to retaliate, and yet you expect to serve her tea; where’s your face?”

His older brother and half-brother wanted to inherit the company, so they tried every possible way to flatter and fawn over the old man. He ventured on his own, and his company had never relied on the family, so he wasn’t afraid of falling out.

Seeing things were about to get ugly, a senior mber of the Tao Family quickly stepped out to make peace, “It’s getting late, the bride and groom should head to the hotel.”

If the newlyweds didn’t go to the hotel for the wedding, it would be their and the entire Tao family’s embarrassnt. Old Master Tao waved his hand, “Hurry to the hotel.”

Seeing no objection, the Tao Family elder hurried the newlyweds to the hotel. Tao Eldest Brother and his wife felt particularly vindicated, having been pitted against Lv Yuye for so many years, yet still having to politely call her Aunt Lv, pretending to maintain a harmonious mother-in-law relationship outside. Unlike Tao Yong and his wife, dare to step on Lv Yuye’s face. The old man said that after giving the second brother seed money, he wouldn’t share the inheritance, so Tao Yong feared nothing even if they fell out.

Lu Jiaxin walked over to Yu itong’s side and deliberately said aloud, “Tao Yong, your family is too cheap; itong didn’t even get a red envelope for serving tea.”

The people around instantly fell silent upon hearing this, truly enjoying watching the drama.

Zong Shing tugged at Lu Jiaxin’s sleeve and gave her a look, aning stop adding fuel to the fire lest the wedding be truly ruined.

On the way to the hotel, Yu itong held Lu Jiaxin’s hand, eyes red, and said, “Jiaxin, thank you.”

If it were her father, he would probably reprimand directly, never backing her up. She had so hesitation last night, thinking lifelong matters making such a scene wouldn’t be good. Given the other side presented nicely, she considered bearing it. Yet she noticed that woman dressed extravagantly, even wearing jewelry worth millions, trying to outshine her as the bride, so she refused to endure.

Lu Jiaxin laughed, “As long as you don’t bla for giving a terrible idea.”

Yu itong shook her head, “People take advantage of others being kind and horses being gentle. Today I made my stance clear, so the Tao Family won’t dare to ss with in the future.”

Lu Jiaxin laughed, “In the future? Who knows if the Tao Family’s company will still be around in ten or eight years.”

Seeing Tao Yong looking at her, Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, “Don’t get wrong, I won’t do anything to the Tao Family’s company; I’m not that idle.”

“In recent years, many old-established companies in Hong Kong have gone bankrupt, and if the Tao Family’s company doesn’t innovate and change, it will surely follow the old path.”

It’s not against the Tao Family’s company, but it’s a market rule. New companies rise every day, and others go bankrupt and disappear at the sa ti.

Tao Yong didn’t say anything. If the old man doesn’t set his brother as the successor, and if the infighting continues, the sa fate as the Zong Family may befall them. However, the Tao Family Company’s bankruptcy won’t affect him. Naturally, he doesn’t wish for the Tao Family to go bankrupt, because if the old man runs out of money, he will surely co to him.
