Chapter 128 - Preparations

Chapter 128: Preparations

There was a hierarchy amongst the wealthy, and the Qiao family and the Yu family were not of the same class.

The Yu family had only been established for a few decades. They were involved in the manufacturing sector, and almost every household had to use the goods they produced.

The Qiao family, on the other hand, was different. In the late Qing dynasty, the Qiao family’s ancestors had left their hometown and gone abroad to develop. Up until World War II, the legal systems of all countries had been imperfect. The Qiao family had established the largest mafia organization in Chinatown and then had been working in both legal and illegal activities. They even dabbled in the military industry. The Qiao family did not have a prominent reputation among the ordinary citizens, but they were far more powerful than the Yu family.

With the rise of the Chinese economy, capital from all over the world wanted to enter this vast market. The Qiao family had always maintained a pure Chinese bloodline and had deep feelings for their homeland. When China reformed and opened up, the Qiao family had taken a large sum of money to enter the Chinese market and dabbled in heavy industries such as minerals and machine processing.

Therefore, even though they were in the same city, the Yu Family and the Qiao Family had almost no business dealings with each other. Yu Hong had also only heard of the current head of the Qiao Family, Qiao Lian, for a long time, but he had never come into contact with her.

It was only when they met the head of the Qiao family at the New York airport that he took the initiative to come over and greet Yu Hong and his wife.

In the beginning, Yu Hong thought it was just a polite greeting. Unexpectedly, the other party invited the couple to take his private plane. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨m

Even if Yu Hong didn’t understand Qiao Lin’s true purpose at the beginning, after talking to him on the way, he already knew what he was thinking.

Qiao Lian had clearly fallen for his biological daughter, Yu Yao, so he had been trying to kiss up to him!

Although Qiao Lian didn’t explain it directly, Yu Hong was a man. How could he not know what Qiao Lian was thinking?

But Qiao Lian’s attitude, which was obvious but not straightforward, made Yu Hong have a better impression of him.

This meant that Qiao Lian liked Yu Yao with at least some sincerity. That was why he was unwilling to let Yu Yao’s parents get involved before their relationship was clear. This was because Qiao Lian knew that regardless of whether Yu Hong and Chen Lin were willing to let Qiao Lian and Yu Yao become a couple, her parents’ attitude would still pressure Yu Yao. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

Yu Hong and Qiao Lian were both smart people. The two of them did not need to say things clearly to understand each other.

Since Qiao Lian had already vaguely expressed his feelings towards Yu Yao, Yu Hong was no longer stingy with his attitude.

He glanced at Chen Lin, who was sleeping soundly in the seat beside him, and softened his tone as he said to Qiao Lian, “Mr. Qiao, my wife and I are together because of love. I also hope that my children can find the other half who they love, so I don’t want to interfere too much with their choices unless they are clearly blind when making them. I hope you can understand what I think as a father.”

Qiao Lian leaned forward slightly and naturally looked like a junior who had been taught a lesson. He nodded and said, “Uncle Yu, I really admire your relationship with Auntie. You are an immortal couple that everyone admires. Of course, I also hope that my married life will be as blissful as yours, so you can trust my sincerity. I also hope to leave a good impression on you. When the day comes, I hope you won’t make things too difficult for me.”

Yu Hong naturally understood what Qiao Lian meant. He was saying that after he and Yu Yao confirmed their relationship, as his father-in-law, he shouldn’t be too hard on Qiao Lian. His attitude was respectful and intimate, but it wasn’t too abrupt.

Yu Hong sighed with emotion. If it was in the past, the era of arranged marriages, he would probably have agreed to marry his daughter to such a man on the spot.

He laughed heartily. “Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you. Yu Yao has three brothers who love her like treasure. The hardest levels to overcome would probably be between them and my wife.”

Qiao Lian thought about how Chen Lin had just found out that the plane had crashed and suddenly broke down. She even hallucinated and insisted that she saw Yu Yao crying…

Her behavior made Qiao Lian understand that even if he could get past the three Yu brothers, his mother-in-law would probably become the biggest obstacle.
