15: Chapter 15 Brother-in-law
Song Yuan went to the supermarket to buy some wedding candies and drove to the trio's studio.
Gu Shiyuan's LOFT had already been tidied up, and when Song Yuan entered, Lu Chi and Gu Shiyuan were both there.
Song Yuan handed the newly bought wedding candies to the two of them,
"We've registered our marriage! My brother, I have a wife now. Come, have some wedding candy!"
Lu Chi had been single for many years, so it was false to say he wasn't jealous.
"Is this wedding candy? This is clearly dog food! Show us a picture of your wife. Which discerning fairy took in a prodigal like you?"
Song Yuan clutched the marriage certificate in his pocket, not letting them see it. He hadn't even seen his wife much himself, so why should he show her to his brothers?
"Anyway, she's very beautiful."
Gu Shiyuan, sitting beside him, sighed,
"Speaking of which, my sister also registered her marriage today. I wonder which unlucky soul will marry such a boring woman whose life is only about work. I truly worry for my brother-in-law, whom I haven't met yet.
What if the atmosphere is just right on the wedding night, and my sister gets a call and goes back to the company? Don't you think that would be a mood killer?"
Song Yuan comforted him,
"Women should also be independent and have their own careers, instead of being completely dependent on a man. I believe your brother-in-law will understand!
Besides, what do you think is so great about our line of work? It's not uncommon for programmers to be called back to the company to fix bugs on their wedding day."
Gu Shiyuan was very curious about his mysterious brother-in-law. He wondered where his sister had managed to trick him from. So many family members in the group asked, but she didn't say a word, just sent a photo and disappeared.
"I hope my brother-in-law thinks the same way as you and isn't scared off by my workaholic sister."
As he spoke, Song Yuan's phone rang. He answered, and a voice saying 'Brother-in-law' came from the other end.
"Brother-in-law!"
Song Yuan was stunned for a moment. He had just been discussing his brother-in-law with Gu Shiyuan, and now someone was calling him 'Brother-in-law'!
After a moment's reaction, the other party introduced himself,
"Brother-in-law, I'm Lin You. Don't you have my number saved?"
Lin You??
Song Yuan frowned. Why was it this annoying guy calling?
"Is there something you need?"
Lin You chuckled flatteringly on the other end,
"Brother-in-law, my sister has told you about my situation, right? When are you going to send me the money? I'm really desperate. Or maybe you can send over the bride price you're giving my sister first? Anyway, you'll have to give it eventually!"
Song Yuan was silent for a few seconds. He was in a good mood today, so he didn't hang up directly. He could actually chat with that person for a bit.
"Lin You, right? Were you born by your mother or by me? Are your hands and feet broken, can't you work? If so, I suggest you go to the relevant department to get a disability certificate; the state will help you!"
There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time, obviously stunned by his retort.
Still thinking of swindling money from him? Dream on!
Song Yuan hung up the phone and immediately blacklisted the number.
After calming down, he began to focus on his work.
On the other end of the phone, Lin You held his mobile phone, and it took him a long time to recover. He hadn't misheard, had he?
Song Yuan had gotten gutsy, daring to curse his future brother-in-law, and so dirtily? Didn't he believe that one word from him could prevent this marriage?
Lin You called Lin Xueyao,
"Sister, has Song Yuan eaten gunpowder? He cursed me, he actually dared to curse me! Don't marry him! He doesn't even have basic respect for his brother-in-law!"
Lin Xueyao also had a headache. Song Yuan's temper had changed a lot recently. Sometimes she couldn't figure out what he was thinking. He was doing things to reconcile, but his mouth was as stubborn as anything, not saying a single word of apology.
"Don't look for him yet. I'll give him a few days to cool off!"
Lin You was indignant,
"Sister, what do you mean? Are you just going to let it go? He cursed me! He cursed your brother! Aren't you going to do anything about it?
You haven't even married him yet, and you're already siding with him. You're my own sister!!"
Lin Xueyao had taken a day off today. Xiao Nianchen hadn't called her back yet, and she was going to his company to confront him, feeling annoyed.
"Alright, alright, I'm a bit busy. I'll talk to you later!"
After hanging up, she walked directly into the company building. The front desk stopped her,
"Miss, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Xiao Nianchen."
"To see our CEO Xiao, you need to make an appointment in advance. Have you made one?"
Lin Xueyao said irritably,
"I'm his girlfriend. Why would I need an appointment?"
The front desk found it a bit difficult, especially since there were recent rumors in the company that the only son of Xiao would marry into Gus. The woman in front of her might be some kind of romantic entanglement.
As they were in a standoff, Xiao Nianchen came out of the elevator, jingling his car keys. His body stiffened when he saw Lin Xueyao, and he immediately walked forward and pulled her out of the building.
"Why are you here?"
Even Lin Xueyao, slow as she was, could tell that Xiao Nianchen didn't like her appearing there. Ultimately, it was because his mother didn't like her, and Xiao Nianchen was afraid of his mother.
She suddenly felt a little wronged. She had long heard that wealthy mothers-in-law were difficult to deal with, and she had experienced it even before entering the family. Xiao Nianchen's mother was not an easy person to deal with. After they got married, the young couple would definitely have to move out and live alone, otherwise, they would suffer endless grievances.
"Brother Nianchen, I called you many times yesterday, but you didn't answer. Did you see my messages?"
Xiao Nianchen's expression stiffened. How could he not have seen so many calls, and her messages? He wasn't blind! He hadn't expected Lin Xueyao to chase him to the company just to ask for money!
Xiao Nianchen had a very strong feeling that he had taken over Song Yuan's unwanted burden and become the big sucker.
She had only slept with him a few times and was already asking for so much money, asking for gifts, asking for this and that. All in all, it was more expensive than hiring a call girl. Was she studded with diamonds or something?
"Yao Yao, don't worry. I saw your messages. I'm still working on convincing my mother, you know that there are different ideas between two generations, and it's hard to change. This isn't something that happens overnight, give me some time."
Lin Xueyao was truly anxious now,
"You promised that night to help me with my brother's situation. I'm really out of options now, that's why I came to find you."
Lin Xueyao still remembered what he said in bed that night: 'Your brother is my brother.'
Xiao Nianchen's face darkened, and he didn't speak. He thought to himself, do women believe what men say in bed? Raising someone he didn't know as a brother, his forehead wasn't stamped with 'idiot'.
"Yao Yao, please understand. Right now, I really don't have any money. My mom blocked my card. I'm even borrowing friends' gas cards to fill up my car!"
Lin Xueyao took a step forward, grabbed Xiao Nianchen's hand, and looked at him with clear, innocent eyes,
"Brother Nianchen, why don't you mortgage the car? You can get it back once you make up with Auntie. I really urgently need money right now..."
Xiao Nianchen looked at her beautiful little face and cursed inwardly, "Damn it!"
Asking him to sell his car, what was in this woman's head?
Who did she think she was!
