Using Marriage as Bait - Chapter 1
In the early morning, before the sun could break through the clouds, there was already a scorching red glow in the sky, and the mountain tops in the distance were covered with a layer of blue mist, with a hazy feeling of dawn.
It is the season when the grass grows and the warblers are flying. The hibiscus flowers in the garden are in full bloom, and the lotus in the lotus pond has a small flower corner. The thick fog condensed into a tree, swirled around the lotus leaf, and fell into the pond with a clatter.
Lin Xiyu put a chair in the garden, holding a book of poetry in her hand and reading with relish. She has the habit of reading in the morning. She was seated among a field of lilies in a pale blue dress adorned with white petals. She has a slap-faced face, delicate and small facial features, fair and delicate complexion, and there is light mist around her. From a distance, she looks like an elves transformed from lilies, smart and beautiful.
He lowered her head for too long and her neck was a little stiff. Lin Xiyu raised her head and moved her cervical spine. Only when she raised her head did she realize that there was someone standing on the second floor of the house in front of her.
There is still some distance between the garden and the house, and it is difficult to see from a distance. I can see that the man is tall and straight, wearing a straight suit, the sun has not yet come out, the light is not too bright, where he is The light in the room was not turned on, and the bright and extinguished fireworks on his fingers were clearly visible. He was standing by the window, looking into the distance, as if he was looking at her side, but as if he was not there, it was too far to see clearly.
Although his face was blurred, Lin Xiyu recognized him from the figure of the man.
Lu Junting.
Lu Junting is the only son of the big house and the grandson of Lu’s family. He is the actual controller of Lu’s enterprise Changyuan Group and the chairman of the board of directors of Changheng Group. However, he is busy with work and rarely returns to the Lu family’s mansion all year round. Lin Xiyu has lived in the Lu family for five years and has not seen him a few times.
As a big boss in the business world, Lu Junting has a fascinating aura about him. Even if he is far away, Lin Xiyu suddenly sees him and his heart jumps. She looked away and looked down at the book, she couldn’t help but feel a little strange, what happened to the Lu family, why did Lu Junting come back?
“Hee Hee, why did you come here to read books so early in the morning?”
Lin Xiyu raised her head when she heard the voice, the person coming was a girl about her age, with short hair cut and a puff-sleeved pajamas, just got up, her hair was a little messy.
Lu Yuan came over with sleepy eyes and very rudely squeezed her to the side. She had to squeeze her two buttocks in a chair sitting by herself. She put one hand on Lin Xiyu’s shoulder, her body was lazy Yangyang leaned against the back of the chair, “Don’t read too many books, you will be stupid.”
Lin Xiyu glared at her, “You are stupid.”
Lu Yuan’s mother Zhang Yao was a good friend of Lin Xiyu’s mother. She married into the Lu family when she was young. After Lin Xiyu’s parents passed away, the Lin family had no relatives who could support her, so Zhang Yao took Lin Xiyu Raised by the Lu family. Lin Xiyu came to the Lu family at the age of fifteen, and it has been six years this year. The Lu family also takes good care of Lin Xiyu, and she lives well here.
Lin Xiyu thought of something, and subconsciously glanced at the house in front of him. There was no one by the window on the second floor. She said, “By the way, why did Brother Junting come back?”
When Lu Yuan heard this, she suddenly looked bitter and hated, “Ah? My eldest brother is back?”
“You don’t know?”
“I know now.”
“…”
Lu Junting was young and promising. At the age of 19, he was ordered to take over the Changyuan Group. At the age of 20, he took control of the Changyuan Group alone. Now, at the age of 28, he has convinced the old shareholders of the Changyuan Group. Oral, needless to say his wrist and courage.
Although Lu Junting is of the same generation as them, because he is several years older and has been honed in the business world for a long time, his character is also more stable than his peers, although he is only twenty-eight years old, But he has a more stable and sophisticated character than a forty-eight-year-old person, not to mention the juniors like him, even the elders who are a round older than him will be a little bit afraid of him standing next to him.
No wonder Lu Yuan is afraid of him, in fact, Lin Xiyu is also afraid.
When everyone is away, everyone will feel more at ease. When everyone comes back, the atmosphere of the whole family will become serious. No wonder Lu Yuan feels uncomfortable.
“No, didn’t he just acquire Yixun Electronics? He should be very busy now, come back so early in the morning, what happened at home?”
Yixun Electronics is an electronic foundry. It has been listed for two years. The stock market has been very stable. It could have gone all the way. The shareholders sold the bottom line, and Lu Junting took advantage of this opportunity to directly acquire Yixun with lightning speed.
Many industry insiders analyzed that the scandal of Yixun was actually released deliberately by Lu Junting, the purpose was to acquire Yixun at a low price to expand his business territory.
The ancestors of the Lu family were in the building materials industry, but the recent rapid rise of the Internet media industry has severely impacted traditional enterprises. The Changheng Group of the Lu family has also entered a low point for a long time. However, after Lu Junting came to power, he vigorously developed electronic technology, especially in the semiconductor and mobile home appliance industries. After several years of development, Changheng Group’s electronics, mobile phones, and home appliances have entered the market. The market value of Changheng Group has increased nearly tenfold in just a few years.
Changheng Electronics has risen rapidly, the factory has reached saturation, and the development of Changheng Electronics requires huge factory capacity. If there is a large-scale foundry for Changheng Electronics at this time, Changheng can solve the problem It is urgent, and development will be more effective with less effort.
Changheng naturally looked at Yixun.
If it is true, as people in the industry say, all this is planned by Lu Junting. To acquire a large company so quickly, this person’s scheming and strategy are immeasurable.
The intrigue Lin Xiyu in the shopping mall does not understand, anyway, she knows that Lu Junting is a very powerful person. Lin Xiyu closed the book and pulled Lu Yuan’s hand, “Let’s go, go back to breakfast.”
The Lu family’s house is very large and divided into three parts, the main building in the middle and two wings. Ding withered, Lu Junting’s mother had passed away, his father had a stroke in the hospital, and he was not at home all the year round, so Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu usually lived in the main building. The yard on the right is the second-bedroom family, and the yard on the left is the family of Lu Yuan.
Go out of the garden and go through the corridor to enter the left yard, no need to go around the main building. The cloister was covered with wisteria, and a gust of wind blew, and the wisteria rustled overhead.
The two walked through the corner of the corridor, but saw two people walking towards them.
Lin Xiyu and Lu Yuan stopped, and the two stopped one after another. There are two people, a man and a woman. The girl has long hair tied behind her head and wears a long skirt with suspenders. The boy is tall and straight. He is dressed casually, with a white shirt and jeans, and a pair of sneakers on his feet. Standing together, it looks quite right.
The girl was holding the boy’s hand and was joking with him, but unexpectedly met Lin Xiyu and Lu Yuan head-on, the boy seemed to have done something bad and was caught, and subconsciously pulled out his arm, the girl Stiffened.
Lu Yuan glanced at the faces of the two, and joked: “Second brother, are you feeding us dog food so early in the morning? I will be fed by you before I eat it. full.”
The one Lu Yuan called the second brother was Lu Junfeng, the only son of the second house of the Lu family. His father and Lu Yuan’s father were twins. He ignored Lu Yuan and only looked at Lin Xiyu. Lin Xiyu pulled Lu Yuan’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”
Lin Xiyu and Lu Yuan walked around the two of them and walked out of the corridor full of wisterias, but they heard Lu Junfeng’s voice from behind.
“Hee hee.”
Lin Xiyu stopped, Lu Junfeng stepped forward, but said to Lu Yuan, “I want to have a few words with Xixi.”
Lin Xiyu grabbed Lu Yuan’s hand tightly, smiled politely at Lu Junfeng and said, “What are you talking about after breaking up, Yan Yutong is still waiting for you, don’t make people wait too long.”
Lu Junfeng’s originally gentle brows were tightened, and his face was helpless and painful, “Hee-hee, can you give me a little more time?”
Lin Xiyu ignored him, pulled Lu Yuan away, and didn’t say to her until she was far away: “Don’t be soft-hearted, think about people like my second aunt, if you It’s not a good life to marry my second brother, there are not many three-legged men, two-legged men are everywhere, there are many better men than him in this world, although he is my second brother, but I am on your side.”
Lin Xiyu laughed when she heard this. She poked Lu Yuan’s head and said, “Didn’t your second brother love you the most since you were a child? Be careful that he hears and scolds you for being unconscionable.”
Lu Yuan muttered: “Who told him to have no conscience against you first.”
As soon as Lin Xiyu and Lu Yuan walked to the door, they encountered Zhang Yao coming out to ask them to eat. Zhang Yao smiled and said, “Go out early in the morning, get all foggy, and change clothes to eat.”
Zhang Yao and her husband Lu Liang have always been in love with each other. The husband and wife are very kind. Lin Xiyu is in the Lu family these years, and the husband and wife really treat her as a daughter. There is no embarrassment of being inferior to others, and he is as filial to these two as parents and mothers.
Today is the weekend Lu Liang is at home, and the family sits and eats breakfast. Lu Liang is usually busy with work. When he sees the two of them today, he asks, “How about your graduation thesis? Ok?”
Lin Xiyu said: “It’s done.”
Lu Liang said: “Xixi, I’m not worried, I’m very self-conscious, it’s you.” Lu Liang pointed to Lu Yuan, “I just know how to play, have you finished your paper?”
Lu Yuan said unconvinced, “I already fixed it.”
“Just do it.”
After eating lightly in the morning, Lu Yuan took a mouthful of porridge and asked, “Did something happen at home, why is my eldest brother back?”
Lu Liang said: “Don’t talk nonsense, what happened, your grandma is going to give your elder brother a blind date again.”
“Huh?” Lu Yuan couldn’t help laughing, “Which one is this time?”
Zhang Yao answered: “I heard that it is the Liang family of Changlong Motors.”
After dinner, Lu Yuan wanted to go see the excitement, so she took Lin Xiyu and Zhang Yao to go together. When a few people arrived at the main building, there were several elders in the main building. The old Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu were in their seventies, but they were still healthy.
Lu Junting was also there, sitting next to Mr. Lu. Lu Junting, who makes the younger generation afraid, is not a hideous face. Everyone in the Lu family is good-looking, but Lu Junting is even more outstanding. He inherited the tall physique of the Lu family, but his eyebrows are better than those of the “Roaring Mountain Tiger”. Mr. Lu was even more stern, and his unsmiling expression added a bit of seriousness to that face.
When Mrs. Lu saw them coming in, she waved hurriedly. A few people went in and said hello to Mrs. Lu. Lin Xiyu and Lu Yuan sat beside them.
Old Mrs. Lu was sitting at the head. At this moment, she said to Lu Junting with a bitter face: “Wait for Miss Liang to come over, don’t be too serious, don’t scare people to know?”
Lu Junting just took a sip of tea and asked, “Miss Liang?”
The old lady Lu shook her eyes a few times with a guilty conscience and said: “The one from Chimelong Motors, I have seen this Miss Liang, she is a very well-behaved and lovely girl, I called someone over today, you guys See you first.”
Lu Junting also understood, he was called back for a blind date today, his eyes were slightly dark, “You called me to come back, but you never said that you were coming back to meet Miss Liang. .”
The old lady Lu gave him an angry look, “I want to say you will come back?”
“I remember telling you that I don’t have the heart to be in a relationship right now.”
It’s okay to talk.”
“…”
Lu Junting’s complexion was a little ugly. When Mrs. Lu saw him like this, she frowned, “Miss Liang will come later, don’t take this attitude, you can be serious at the company, don’t be so serious when you get home, look at the younger brothers below you. Sister, I’m afraid to see you, what kind of girl is willing to associate with you when you look like this?”
When Mrs. Lu said “brothers and sisters”, she casually pointed to where Lu Yuan and the others were sitting. , when he raised his head, he just met Lu Junting’s swept gaze.
Lin Xiyu: “…” The giggling people were caught on the spot.
