My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 110: CEO, Your Wife Says Your Family’s Conditions Are Poor
Chapter 110: Chapter 110: CEO, Your Wife Says Your Family’s Conditions Are Poor
Yu Zeqin’s expressionless face twitched ever so subtly at the corners of his mouth.
"CEO, do you know your wife is wearing a silver ring on her hand?"
"CEO, your wife said you can’t afford a gold ring, do you know that?"
"CEO, your wife said your family’s situation isn’t good either, do you know that?"
For the first time in his life, Yu Zeqin felt he was utterly incompetent as an assistant for not having recorded Lu Youxi’s words in time.
Now, Yu Zeqin desperately wanted to call Zhou Shuyan and relay Lu Youxi’s words to him.
At this moment, someone said sympathetically, "Lu Youxi, was it your family forcing you to marry? Isn’t your family biased towards sons? Do they want to keep you tied to the village? They require you to marry before allowing you to study?"
Lu Youxi thought to herself, classmate, you sure have wild ideas!
Lu Youxi reacted with astonishment, "Classmate, how did you guess so accurately?"
The people around gasped, and Lu Youxi said, "My family indeed forced me to marry, but not to my current husband."
"My husband and I fell in love freely, and we decided to get married because we liked each other," Lu Youxi explained, "My parents don’t have a son preference. It’s mainly my grandparents and my aunt and uncle who are unbearable. My aunt and uncle are Lu Youbang’s parents."
"They knew I was accepted by Jing University, but they didn’t know I had received a scholarship. Because Lu Youbang spent a lot of money here, they thought I would too. Most importantly, they were worried that after graduating from university and staying in the Imperial Capital, they would no longer control me. They’ve always thought of marrying me off in the village to get the dowry for Lu Youbang to find a wife."
"If I didn’t return from the Imperial Capital and didn’t marry according to their plans, they wouldn’t get the dowry and wouldn’t have the money for Lu Youbang to get a wife. So, my aunt made a deal with an aunt from the neighboring village, wanting me to marry her son. That aunt’s son is good, but he had an accident when he was young that left him mentally impaired, stuck mentally in junior high, and had stopped developing. Because of this, no girls nearby wanted to marry him. His family was willing to offer a dowry of one hundred thousand yuan. That’s a huge sum in our village."
"So, my grandparents and aunt and uncle kept it from my parents and wanted to settle this marriage while we were not at home. Even the other party’s parents didn’t know that they were doing this behind our backs."
"Oh my God! That’s outrageous!"
"Thankfully, my brother found out in advance, so I hurriedly dragged my husband to get our marriage certificate," Lu Youxi said truthfully.
"It was quite a coincidence that the day I got my license was the day the other party’s parents came to my house to propose their dowry, and two aunts next door promptly notified the village chief to stop it."
"That’s monstrous! Does Lu Youbang know about it?"
"This... I’m not sure..." Lu Youxi hesitated, as though she felt bad for suspecting Lu Youbang of ill-intent.
But someone else said, "I’m sure he knows. How could he be unaware of what’s going on in your family? If he suddenly had an extra hundred thousand yuan, would he not know where it came from?"
"I thought this matter was over, but my uncle tried to prevent me from studying here, wanting me to save the tuition for Lu Youbang. He even coaxed that mentally challenged young man to come... to come..." Lu Youxi pinched her thigh hard, causing her face to turn red with pain, "to take away my innocence."
"That’s too much!"
"Yes, luckily that young man, although not mature in some ways, is a good person and of course refused to cooperate. He even reported it to the police immediately and got my uncle arrested."
"This whole Lu Youbang family is just terrible!" exclaimed a classmate indignantly.
"That’s why my husband and I have a good relationship. With all the trouble at home, he never looked down on me. Even if neither of us has money or a gold ring, I don’t care as long as he’s a good person," Lu Youxi touched the silver ring on her hand, her smile exceedingly sweet and content, "Besides, what do I have other than being admitted to Jing University? My family’s full of troubles, a bunch of problematic relatives. He’s just taken by my good nature, right? Between us, neither is lacking. If I hadn’t met him and it was someone else, would they ignore my blood-sucking relatives just because I’m a student at Jing University? In the future, the troubles brought by relatives can be quite a handful."
Everyone fell silent.
Though they were all students, it doesn’t mean they were ignorant of the ways of the world.
Indeed, marriage is not just a matter of two people, but of two families.
They all had their family troubles, but none seemed as bad as Lu Youxi’s relatives.
And with that, they all felt bothered and could hardly imagine dealing with relatives like Lu Youxi’s.
If it were themselves, even if the other person was outstanding, they probably wouldn’t choose someone like Lu Youxi.
"Moreover, both of us are young. We’ll work hard and strive to make our lives better and better," Lu Youxi said with a smile.
"Sorry, we were too narrow-minded."
"Yeah, you really have it tough."
"That Lu Youbang’s family is really too much."
The school leaders were originally at the entrance of the auditorium, wondering why Yu Zeqin was reluctant to enter.
But they didn’t expect to overhear a full ear of gossip.
Yu Zeqin thought to himself, no wonder the CEO can’t stop thinking about her.
The CEO’s wife is not to be messed with!
Yu Zeqin then apologetically nodded slightly to the school leaders, "Sorry, I spaced out for a moment. Let’s go in."
Seeing the arrival of school leaders, the students quickly returned to their seats.
The leaders couldn’t help but take another look at Lu Youxi.
This girl, she’s really something.
Yu Zeqin, before sitting down, glanced at the ring on Lu Youxi’s hand, thinking to himself that the CEO didn’t even have one yet.
Lu Youxi caught Yu Zeqin’s gesture and glanced over.
Caught red-handed, Yu Zeqin didn’t feel awkward but nodded openly at Lu Youxi in greeting.
Lu Youxi: "..."
What’s with this poker face?
Lu Youxi nodded back.
School leader: "..."
The young girl is not large, but she has quite a presence.
The school leader originally thought the little interlude was just that.
But unexpectedly, when it was time for the freshman representative to speak, they saw Lu Youxi ascend the stage with composure.
School leader: "!!!"
It’s her again!
Apart from the initial hiccup, the enrollment ceremony was successfully completed.
After leaving Jing University and returning to Chengzhou Group, Yu Zeqin went straight to Zhou Shuyan’s office.
"Come in," Zhou Shuyan’s voice came from the office after Yu Zeqin knocked.
Yu Zeqin pushed the door and entered, getting straight to the point, "CEO, I saw Miss Lu today."
