Chapter 1604: Each Has Their Own Calculations

Flying Speed Chinese.

Thinking of his precious son, Lu's father hardened his heart: "Don't worry, Feifei's household registration is at home. Without it, they cannot register their marriage. If you don't give the bride price, don't give her the registration. What are you afraid of?"

The little stepmother then turned her anger into joy; she hugged her husband and kissed his face hard several times.

At the same time, Lu's mother's home was also unhappy.

Lu Feifei's stepfather had a gloomy face and had been lecturing his wife for half an hour.

He complained: "You women have long hair and short insight; you only see the immediate benefits but not the advantages behind them. You believe it when Madam Sheng says they are bankrupt? Are you pig-brained?"

"Now it's fine, you are like a clown in other people's eyes, and even I am looked down upon by them..."

"You are also too outrageous. You only have your daughter in your heart, not this family. You made such a scene with that woman at their house; how will the Sheng Family look at me?"

Actually, he thought too much.

Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan didn't even pay attention to him; they didn't even look at him a few times. He held the title of stepfather, but he had never raised Lu Feifei, so why would they care about his thoughts?

But some people just like to be overly sentimental.

He was just such a person. Hearing that Lu Feifei, his wife's burden, was going to marry into the Sheng Family, he was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several nights.

His own company had been doing poorly recently; if he could climb up to the Sheng Family, that would be great.

If Sheng Hanyu helped him a little, he could soar to the sky!

Therefore, for this meeting, he had prepared many things.

Not just valuable gifts, but also a belly full of words. These words had been rehearsed over and over in his stomach until he knew them by heart, but in the end, not a single one was used.

Lu's mother calmed down and also began to regret what she had done.

She had been impulsive.

But she did not regret protecting her daughter. Although she later gave birth to a son, her daughter was also flesh and blood from her own body; she could not watch her daughter being pushed into a fire pit.

Even if she didn't want the bride price, she hoped the Sheng Family was doing well and hadn't gone bankrupt, so that her daughter's future days wouldn't be too difficult.

She wiped away her tears and asked: "How do you know the Sheng Family hasn't gone bankrupt?"

"You're still unconvinced when I call you pig-brained? You are as muddled as that woman. How big is the Sheng Family's industry? Would there be no movement at all if their family went bankrupt?"

Lu's mother still couldn't understand: "But the house they live in now really doesn't look like one where rich people live."

"Rich people are low-key; only those without money like to puff themselves up to look like fat men. However, you weren't without any merits today; not asking for a bride price was a good performance."

Her husband scolded her for a long time and finally praised her once.

Her husband continued to instruct: "You must build a better relationship with the in-laws. I suspect they are doing this just to burn bridges and stop associating with us later. We must not fall for it. Tomorrow I will accompany you to go again to apologize for today's events..."

Although the stepfather ran a small business, he was very shrewd. The Sheng Family had not gone bankrupt; of the four people who went today, only he had seen it.

The next day.

The couple went again. When Shi Youxuan saw them, she was very enthusiastic: "You left in such a hurry yesterday that you didn't even eat. You must stay and eat before leaving today."

"Alright, then I will respectfully obey."

Today there were only the couple, with no one else causing trouble, and the stepfather's eloquence finally came into play.

He first started by flattering them, praising Dingsheng Group as if it were the best thing in heaven and on earth.

What kind of people were Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan?

The two of them were the most cunning of the cunning.

As soon as he opened his mouth, they both understood: he didn't believe the smoke screen they set up yesterday and had come to probe the truth today.

Very well, they would tell him whatever he wanted to hear.

Shi Youxuan took the initiative to steer the topic toward the company.

She sighed: "What you said is all in the past. Now Dingsheng doesn't belong to the Sheng name; it belongs to the Yun name, which is the industry of my daughter's in-laws."

The stepfather didn't believe it and chuckled: "Is the mother-in-law not trusting our couple? Don't worry, we are different from those two from the Lu Family. Although Feifei is not my biological daughter, I have always treated her as my own. We are wholeheartedly doing this for the child's sake; we won't ask for a huge bride price..."

Sheng Hanyu took over the conversation: "If the company were still in my hands, I wouldn't blink even if the bride price were tens of millions or hundreds of millions. But now our family is not what it used to be. Yesterday wasn't a test for you; it was the truth."

He turned and left the living room, returning a moment later with a transfer contract stamped with a red seal, which he handed to the man.

"You are not an outsider, so I won't hide it from you. If you don't agree, it's not too late to regret it now. Don't wait until the two children are truly married to find out the truth, or it will look like we deliberately deceived you."

The man's face was full of suspicion.

He took the contract and looked at it carefully. It was an equity transfer contract; the general content was that the group was poorly managed, had large deficits, and was using assets to pay off debts...

There were more than twenty pages of dense text. The contract was very formal and didn't look forged.

Furthermore, the last page had the bright red official seals of two groups. A contract could be forged, but official seals could not be stamped recklessly!

Even if it were fake, it would become real once stamped with the official seal, carrying legal effect.

He struggled intensely in his heart, and finally, he concluded—this contract was real!

Because he didn't believe anyone would take such a big risk to forge a legally binding contract just to deceive him.

His face turned ugly, and he asked: "Then you don't want to make a comeback?"

Sheng Hanyu shook his head: "I don't want to anymore. Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes; my sons won't rely on me in the future. I'll slowly pay off the remaining debts. It's quite good to live in seclusion here; I'm very satisfied."

The stepfather thought, isn't this like a Xiazi lighting a candle—a waste of wax?

He immediately let his face drop: "Just relying on farming, when will you pay it off, in hundreds of lifetimes?"

Shi Youxuan retorted: "That is our family's business; don't trouble yourself with it."

She didn't need to be polite to Lu Feifei's stepfather. At any rate, Lu Feifei had lived with the little stepmother for a few years, and even if she hadn't taken good care of her, she had taken care of her.

But her stepfather had never fulfilled any obligations toward her, yet now he wanted to point fingers at their family. Who did he think he was?

Not to mention that Feifei hadn't married into the family yet, even if she had, Shi Youxuan wouldn't indulge his bad habits.

"No, I don't agree to their marriage." The stepfather changed his face, saying the same thing as the little stepmother.

Lu's mother was still confused; her husband had spoken well at home, so why did he change when he got here?

Although she didn't understand other things, she understood the words "don't agree to the marriage."

She was like a furious lioness, immediately losing her temper at her husband: "What right do you have to disagree with our daughter's marriage? Your word doesn't count!"

The man also roared: "Is your brain made of pig's brains, woman? Their family didn't fake bankruptcy, they are truly penniless and have external debts; you couldn't earn the money they owe in several lifetimes. If your daughter marries into that family, she will live a life of poverty forever and never have a chance to get ahead..."
