CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58: CAN’T LET THIS AFFECT THE FUTURE

The youngest son of the Yao family, Yao Zhiqiang, was in a bad mood. Before he came back, he had just had a quarrel with his partner over his little sister Yao Hui’s issue: "With things like this, what is there to discuss? Let them register quickly so that there’s no more drama; isn’t it embarrassing enough?"

Mrs. Yao didn’t expect her second son to say such a thing; she was doing this for him, and this brat showed no understanding. She shouted angrily at the people in the house, "Hurry up, who am I doing this for?"

Seeing neither her son nor daughter-in-law move, Mrs. Yao said, "Old man, you go. Things are like this; we always need to call everyone together to have a talk."

Yao Hui now shrank into a corner, not daring to make a sound.

This matter had to be resolved somehow. Father Yao sighed, got up, and walked out.

It was just unexpected that shortly after he went out, he saw Lyu Juncheng coming this way.

Lyu Juncheng originally didn’t want to come, but then thought of what Director Liang had just told him: "Jun Cheng, the factory office asked about you today, you should finish your work early and sort this matter out first."

Before he could respond, Director Liang added meaningfully, "Don’t let this matter affect your future."

Upon hearing this, his heart sank. His career prospects were in Director Liang’s hands, he couldn’t be careless. It seemed he had to resolve things with Yao Hui quickly.

That’s why he temporarily left the three kids with the Tian family next door and came to the Yao family himself.

When Father Yao saw him, his expression wasn’t pleasant: "Come on, everyone is waiting for you."

When they entered the house, Lyu Juncheng took one look at the scene and decided not to beat around the bush: "Mom, everyone knows the situation with Yao Hui, and so do you. I’m taking responsibility because I was foolish and got trapped.

When Yao Hui chased after me today, I told her to go home, get the household register, and find me, but even by the time I finished work, I didn’t see her."

He knew Yao Hui wouldn’t be able to get the household register. He said this on purpose to see what the Yao family would say.

Mrs. Yao was angry, but she was sharp: "Jun Cheng, no matter what the situation is, you and Yao Hui need to live together in the future. There’s no need to debate who’s right or wrong.

If Yao Hui didn’t care about you or worry about Xiangyang and the kids, a girl like her wouldn’t show so much interest in you; this is something you should clearly know.

Initially, I disagreed because I was afraid if you had disagreements later, it would be difficult for us to choose sides, and I was worried Yao Hui wouldn’t manage well either."

This half-true, half-false talk left Lyu Juncheng with not much else to say: "Mom, Yao Hui and my matter can’t be delayed any longer; it’s not good for anyone. What does the family think?"

Mrs. Yao glanced at the people in the room: "No matter what, Yao Hui shouldn’t be treated unfairly; she deserves what everyone else gets."

Knowing the Yao family wouldn’t make no demands at all, Lyu Juncheng asked: "So what do you suggest?"

Mrs. Yao cleared her throat lightly: "Previously, your family gave Yu Xinyan a bride price of two hundred yuan; Yao Hui shouldn’t receive less than that. This isn’t asking too much, is it?"

Lyu Juncheng gritted his teeth to suppress the urge to swear: "Fine."

Seeing him agree so readily, Mrs. Yao continued: "Today, in front of so many people, you agreed to set a few tables at the staff canteen this weekend. This commitment can’t be ignored, don’t you think?"

What could Lyu Juncheng say? He had to nod with a sullen face: "I’ll go to the canteen about this matter later."
