Chapter 148: Let’s just make it a done deal
Ye Yan was slightly stunned and a little confused about the attitude of his future mother-in-law.
At first, due to the previous misunderstanding, He Yun was still a little embarrassed and the relationship between the two was very delicate.
Even if they really want to talk about marriage, it stands to reason that the one who would take the most initiative would be the father-in-law Tang Yongan.
The other party was a good guy and was willing to act as a middleman to ease the conflict between He Yun and Ye Yan.
What's more, there is He Feng between them!
"What happened? Don't rush the engagement yet, just explain the situation clearly."
Ye Yan asked with a frown.
He Yun was anxious: "Ye Yan, what do you mean? Don't you want to marry Yue Rou?"
"I know I was rude before, but I was also thinking about Yue Rou's happiness!"
"If you're still mad at me, I apologize! But you and Yue Rou are in love, so it's time to get married..."
Tang Yuerou, who was standing by, was desperately trying to grab the phone.
"Mom, stop making trouble! Ye Yan and I will discuss our affairs ourselves, so don't make things worse!"
Tang Xiaohai's voice also came from the phone.
"Sister, are you stupid? My brother-in-law is so outstanding now. Mom is considering your future and giving you some security in advance!"
Listening to the noise on the other end of the phone, Ye Yan rubbed his temples helplessly.
To be honest, He Feng was more eager to bring Ye Yan and Tang Yuerou together than He Yun.
But right now is not a good time to get engaged.
Ye Yan also discussed this matter with Tang Yuerou.
At least wait until this storm is over and the situation in Jiangdong Province is completely stabilized before considering engagement and marriage.
Otherwise, it would be tantamount to pushing Tang Yuerou to the forefront!
Ye Yan was alone and fearless.
But Tang Yuerou is his weak spot.
"That's enough! If you can't explain it clearly, let Uncle Tang answer the phone!"
There was silence on the other side for a long time before Tang Yongan's voice finally appeared.
"Well, we did encounter some trouble here..."
After listening to Tang Yongan's words, Ye Yan finally understood why He Yun suddenly became anxious and would rather put aside his elder's airs and take the initiative to talk to Ye Yan about marriage.
Even Tang Xiaohai, contrary to his usual behavior, kept calling him "brother-in-law" and was extremely flattering.
Just now, Luo Tongsen was released by the police overnight.
The Luo family suddenly sent someone to deliver a betrothal gift and ask for Tang Yuerou's hand in marriage!
Not only that, the He and Tang families' businesses were hit hard one after another, and many partners suddenly broke their contracts.
If not handled properly, both companies are at risk of bankruptcy.
Ye Yan's face darkened. "Another boring little trick like this. I'll make arrangements later. Tianwu Zong and Luo Tongsen are not qualified to dominate Jiangdong Province."
At this moment, He Yun snatched the phone again.
"Ye Yan, I know you are very capable now. You have the support of the Jin family, the Song family, the Fang family... and even the Qin family in Beijing."
"With their help, my brother's property will definitely be preserved. As for the Tang family's property, it doesn't matter if you don't have it. Your Uncle Tang and I don't care!"
"But the problem now is that we have no say in Yuerou's marriage!"
A hint of doubt flashed through Ye Yan's mind.
He was a little puzzled just now. He Feng had already prepared to turn against Luo Tongsen and was considered a die-hard supporter of Ye Yan.
The threat of interests is not enough to force him to submit.
"What do you mean?"
He Yun sighed: "Tang family, there's news from the Tang family in Beijing! Our Tang family in Yunhai City is just a branch of the Tang family in Beijing!"
"Back then, the old man left the main branch and wandered around to settle down in Yunhai City. According to the rules, if a descendant within three generations is favored by the main branch, he or she is eligible to return to the ancestral home!"
"And Yue Rou... was chosen by the main lineage to return to her ancestral home on a chosen date! Her marriage will also be decided by the main lineage!"
Only then did Ye Yan understand.
Many aristocratic families that were once powerful were not destroyed by foreign enemies, but by internal strife!
Especially when some side branches have some extremely talented people who overwhelm the mediocre main line of that generation and are unwilling to be driven by the main line.
If you are not careful, it will lead to the destruction of your clan!
After all, we all have the same blood flowing in our bodies, so why should the direct lineage be so high and mighty and hold so much power?
And the children of collateral branches can only be marginalized, working hard like servants and never having a chance to make a breakthrough?
Therefore, when a noble family develops to a certain extent and its population grows, it becomes increasingly bloated.
According to the rules of some aristocratic families, collateral descendants who consider themselves capable are eligible to obtain family funds and apply to set up their own business in other places.
If they are good enough, they can make a name for themselves within three generations and gain recognition from senior family members.
Then he will be able to join the ranks of the main line of the direct line again, and even hold great power and be qualified to compete for the position of head of the family!
But if after several generations of hard work, one still fails to make a breakthrough and becomes just like everyone else,
They no longer enjoy the honor brought by the family and are completely removed from the family tree.
Tang Yongan's father was one of the side branches of the Tang family in Beijing.
He had great ambitions and resolutely left the capital, intending to make a career for himself. He worked hard for decades with the goal of regaining membership in the Tang family's direct lineage.
It's a pity that he died before his ambition was fulfilled.
If nothing unexpected happens, by the time Tang Xiaohai comes of age, they will be completely expelled from the Tang family in Beijing.
Never imagined.
Just tonight, the Tang family in Beijing suddenly contacted Tang Yongan.
The other party claimed that he recognized Tang Yuerou's potential.
When one person succeeds, the whole Tang family in Yunhai City will soon return to the Tang family in Beijing.
Tang Yuerou's marriage is also decided by the family's top leaders!
He Yun said anxiously, "Ye Yan, we don't have much time left! In my opinion, we should just not get engaged and get married right away. It's a done deal!"
"Before someone from the Tang family arrives in Beijing, you and Yuerou should get the job done! Otherwise, the two of you...will just be destined to be apart!"
