Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 664 Lu Jiaxin Provoking Trouble
Soon it was the day of Yu Meitong and Tao Yong's wedding. Lu Jiaxin and Zong Shimeng went there the afternoon before, and Hu Zhifeng and Nie Zhan, who had been good friends with him for many years, also rushed over. There was one more person accompanying them this time, and that was Fu Ye.

When Fu Ye saw Zong Shimeng and Lu Jiaxin, he called them sister-in-law very respectfully. The two of them didn't look at him and were very polite.

Seeing Fu Ye leave, Lu Jiaxin frowned and said, "Why did Tao Yong invite Fu Ye? What was he thinking?"

It's easy to break off the engagement because the fiancée no longer has feelings for him, but the problem is that Yu Meitong broke off the engagement with Fu Ye in a very ugly way, and it was not worth it to say that they had fallen out. In this case, inviting him to attend the wedding, what a stupid brain!

Nie Zhan said, "You are wrongly blaming Tao Yong. It was Tao Yong's stepmother who invited Fu Ye, and he only found out after the invitation was sent out. Tao Yong and he grew up together, so it's not easy to stop him from attending."

Tao Yong's father married three wives in succession. The first wife died after giving birth to a daughter. The second wife, Tao Yong's mother, gave birth to two brothers, Tao Yong, and died of illness when Tao Yong was twelve years old. The next year, his father married again, and the third wife gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

Tao Yong graduated from university and joined his own company. Not only did his stepmother target him, but even his own brother was wary of him. Later, something happened that made him discouraged, so he asked Tao's father for 10 million yuan to start a business in Hong Kong. At that time, it was agreed that he would not share the family property after taking the 10 million yuan, and he agreed.

After all these years of hard work, Tao Yong's investment company now has a market value of more than 800 million. Because of the good reputation accumulated by the stock market crash, the company will get better and better. On the other hand, the Tao family's business suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash three years ago; his eldest brother and stepmother also had a fierce fight, which seriously affected the development of the company. When he went out to start a business, his family assets were 500 to 600 million, and the family was also ranked among the top in Xingcheng. As a result, he is now worth hundreds of millions, and the Tao family's assets have not increased but decreased.

Seeing how capable he was, Tao's father wanted to hand over the company to him, but he refused. In fact, his brother was a good businessman, but his stepmother was always making trouble behind the scenes, and Tao's father was always trying to smooth things over. In this situation, even if Nie Zhan was allowed to take over, he would not be able to save the declining company.

Hu Zhifeng knew her concerns: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Fu Ye has realized his mistake and will not cause trouble at the wedding."

They are all decent people. Fu Ye is promiscuous but also has brains. Making trouble at Yu Meitong's wedding will only embarrass him and affect his reputation, which is not good for his future development.

Lu Jiaxin said nothing more.

When they arrived in Xingcheng, they saw Yu Meitong and Tao Yong as soon as they got off the plane. Lu Jiaxin looked at her slightly tired appearance, frowned and said, "You don't look very good, didn't you get enough rest these days?"

Yu Meitong nodded and said, "I have a lot of things to deal with every day. I was busy until after eleven yesterday. I got up at six in the morning and even took a nap on the way here."

The exit was crowded and not suitable for chatting, so the group got in the car. Lu Jiaxin, Zong Shimeng and Yu Meitong took a car, the driver was changed to Yan Yijun, and the co-pilot was Qian Xiaoxiao.

As soon as the car door closed, Lu Jiaxin looked at her and asked, "What's going on? The Tao family shouldn't be the one planning the wedding, why do you have to do it yourself?"

For example, in the Nie family, her mother and aunt were not very capable, so it was Nie's wife who took care of everything. She only contacted the wedding company and did not take care of the banquet and dishes.

Yu Meitong said depressedly: "That woman caught a cold a few days ago and kept complaining of a headache, so she ignored everything. Tao Yong's wife has been pregnant for more than a month and can't be involved. She left all the wedding matters to the housekeeper, who made a mess of it. There is no other way, so Tao Yong and I have to take over."

After saying that, she rubbed her temples: "Fortunately, I will settle down in Hong Kong City in the future and not live with them, otherwise I really can't stand fighting like this every day."

Zong Shimeng frowned and said, "How come you are pregnant by such a coincidence?" Yu Meitong did not blame Mrs. Tao. It was indeed too coincidental and there was nothing she could do. "She is really pregnant. It has been one and a half months. There are signs of miscarriage. She is now trying to protect the fetus and cannot get out of bed."

It was Tao's wife who helped arrange her engagement party with Tao Yong. When Tao Yong joined the company, there were some frictions between the two brothers. After he took the money to start his own business and there were no conflicts of interest, the brothers got along well. They were not very close, but at least they looked friendly. Now that Tao Yong has found a big backer, they want to build a good relationship. According to Tao's wife, these friends who call each other brothers seem to be good friends on weekdays, but when something happens, they will run away faster than each other. In the end, the only one they can rely on is their brother.

The wedding is tomorrow, and Lu Jiaxin didn't say much about it: "Should the new daughter-in-law of Xingcheng also offer tea to her parents-in-law?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Lu Jiaxin said, "If she doesn't show up when serving tea tomorrow, then the matter will be over. Don't make a fuss about it. If she's not your biological mother-in-law, then I understand why she didn't help. If she shows up when serving tea, you can just pour the tea on the ground to commemorate the deceased mother-in-law. You're just dreaming if you don't help but still want to act like a mother-in-law."

Zong Shimeng: ... Isn't this provoking trouble? If I really do this, Tao Yong's stepmother will be furious.

Yu Meitong was stunned at first, then she hugged Lu Jiaxin and said with great emotion: "Jiaxin, you are still the best. My mother always told me to be tolerant and said that Tao Yong is very good. If I miss him again, I will never find such a good husband."

She was willing to tolerate, not because she believed her mother's words or because she wanted to be praised for her virtuousness and magnanimity, but because Tao Yong treated her very well and she didn't want to make things difficult for him.

Lu Jiaxin felt that Yu's mother's thinking was still stuck in the 1940s and 1950s: "Why are you being tolerant? You don't rely on Tao Yong to live. Last time you helped him avoid a major loss. It's his blessing that you're willing to marry him."

Zong Shimeng thought her words made sense, so she added: "Tao Yong's stepmother is sweet on the outside but bitter on the inside. She treats Tao Yong very badly and secretly instigates discord between the brothers. If Tao Yong hadn't seen through that woman's tricks and left Xingcheng for Hongcheng to develop, the brothers would have become enemies."

It was because of Tao Yong's concession and the mediation of Mrs. Tao that the two brothers reconciled. If he had stayed in the company, the two brothers would have definitely become enemies. When the crane and the clam fight, it is likely that the stepmother will benefit in the end. That woman had this idea in mind!

After thinking for a while, Zong Shimeng said, "Meitong, in this family, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east. If you show your attitude first, that woman won't dare to provoke you in the future. If you keep giving in, she will definitely act like a mother-in-law to you."

Yu Meitong said: "Then I will ask Tao Yong later and see what he thinks."

Lu Jiaxin snorted coldly and said, "If he asks you to give in, just treat it as fart. If he wants to be a bun himself, don't drag you along."

Zong Shimeng patted her hand gently, then smiled and said to Yu Meitong: "His stepmother is not good to her, Tao Yong will definitely stand on your side."

The main thing is that the Tao family's property has nothing to do with Tao Yong, so there is no need to worry about a falling out. Tao's father was so partial to the good wife he married, and he brought shame upon himself.
