Chapter 530: Unwilling
The Xiahou family has a weakness, whether the two fathers and sons of the Xiahou family admit it or not, in China, they are all regarded as members of the Li family, dependent on the Li family. If there is no Li family's power to be the backer behind it, Xiahou Shang's business will not develop, and even if it develops, under the eyes of many hungry wolves who eat people and do not spit out bones, their family will not be able to keep the mountain-like property and the golden rooster that can lay eggs.
After the death of the old man who had been secretly escorting the Xiahou family because of his guilt for his granddaughter, the Xiahou family suddenly lost its greatest support. No matter how close the nephew is, he can't kiss his son and grandson, and under the bewitchment of some children and grandchildren who are greedy and covet the huge wealth of the Xiahou family, even the current head of the family, Li Zhijian, is inevitably moved.
Under such circumstances, Li Wending, who has always been good friends with Xiahou Shang and sincerely thinks about Xiahou Zhongying, is naturally very annoyed by what he has done. Blocking his family from reaching out to Xiahou's family has already made him feel haggard, if it weren't for the Yu family's overt and secret show of concern for Xiahou Zhongying, and the invisible help that made those people have scruples, he would have been unable to stop the pressure from the elders.
Li Wending did not communicate with Xiahou Shang, hoping to promote the marriage between their family and the Yu family, which is the best way to keep the Xiahou family, and at the same time, it can also bring the relationship between the two families who are gradually estranged due to the death of the old man closer again, which is beneficial to both parties. However, Xiahou Shang is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, he can compromise on anything, but he has always been unwilling to let go of the combination of his son and Yu Yuerong, and from time to time he makes some small actions that seem a little childish and ridiculous to destroy their arrangement.
Li Wending knew where the crux of the road was. The key is that he and Yu Xianguo don't like each other. Anyway, Li Ru was once Yu Xianguo's nominal fiancée after all, although she did not admit the marriage set for her by the family, and ran away from the marriage for this reason, and finally cheapened Xiahou Shang, Yu Xianguo naturally could not have a good impression of him. From the fact that he ignored and got rid of Xiahou Shang, Xiahou Zhongying's biological father, and directly discussed with the Li family the possibility of his marriage with his daughter, it can be seen how much he hated Xiahou Shang and hated him.
Xiahou Shang naturally hated him because of Yu Xianguo's ignorance of him, of course he knew that the marriage between Lu Dao and the Yu family would do more harm to their family and his son, but he couldn't swallow the scornful breath. Although he is now a small person, because he was born from the bottom, he is mixed in the upper aristocratic circle. He always has a little inferiority complex in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have been almost happy because the Li family finally recognized his identity as a son-in-law. Such a person is most stimulated by the contempt of others, and the one who despises him is still his wife's original nominal fiancé?
Xiahou Shang is an emerging aristocrat who climbed up from the bottom, and he is also contaminated with the temperament of a little person, and if he likes it, he likes it. Disgust is disgust. It can't be done that the landslide on the top and the face does not change color. The point where anything can be exchanged for the sake of profit is still fundamentally different from those old aristocrats.
Because of these factors, the contradictions between Xiahou Shang and Yu Xianguo were almost irreconcilable. Naturally, it is impossible for the two of them to sit down and have a good talk.
Li Wending clearly understands Xiahou Shang's sometimes overly emotional and almost scoundrel character, if he threatens him with the current assets of the Xiahou family, it is likely that he will not get a good effect, but on the contrary, it will stimulate him, so that he will break the jar and break it in anger and overturn the table without hesitation, and make all the improper transactions and dark box operations public. At that time, it will not be Xiahou Shang's business alone, there will be a large number of people who will be unlucky, and it is likely to cause shocks in the domestic political situation, so it will be a big deal. So he had to change his strategy and start with Xiahou Zhongying.
Although Xiahou Zhongying is not very old, and sometimes he will do some things that are inappropriate, but on the whole, he is much more mature and rational than his peers. And after all, he is a child, and his feelings for the grievances of the previous generation are not as deep as Xiahou Shang's, and from the analysis of his character, Li Wending knows that he is not the kind of person who can't distinguish between the important and the serious.
In addition, although Xiahou Zhongying spends money lavishly, he is not the kind of person who treats money as dung, it should be his money, and he will definitely fight for it back. It is one thing to spend it himself, and it is another thing to be robbed by others, and he definitely does not want to see the property belonging to their family divided among others, which gives Li Wending the confidence that he can persuade him to accept the marriage with the Yu family.
From a rational point of view, Li Wending can indeed be regarded as having a better understanding of Xiahou Zhongying's character. From the fact that he has been silent after listening to Li Rongdao's words, he can see that he is indeed not an impulsive person. But this is not the whole of his character, Xiahou Zhongying is sensible, and he doesn't want his father's hard-earned money to be robbed of his money one day, but he hates the feeling of being manipulated.
"Is there any way to cut off someone's hand and avoid the fate of being manipulated?" It is this question that Xiahou Zhongying is thinking about now. After thinking about it for a long time, he found that in the face of absolute strength, all calculations were floating clouds, and the most important thing was that the transactions and operations involved in his father could not withstand scrutiny at all. After all, it is because their own strength is not strong enough, Xiahou Zhongying sighed, if there is no Li family as a backing, in the face of power, their Xiahou family is not qualified to negotiate at all.
Do you really want to accept your uncle's arrangement? Xiahou Zhongying was very indignant in his heart, and he was really unwilling.
Li Rongdao looked at the ever-changing expressions that sometimes gritted his teeth, sometimes expressionless, and sometimes thoughtful, and understood his current feelings, patted his shoulder, and said in a vicissitudes of life: "Life is like a strong jian, since you can't avoid it, then close your eyes and enjoy it." In fact, Yu Yuerong's girl is still good, she has to have a figure, a face, and a family background. Tsk, convex and backward with a small and thin waist, how watery, if you don't consider her somewhat savage personality, if a beauty contest is held, there is a chance that the name of the first flower in Beijing will fall on her head. ”
"There is such a little daughter-in-law......" Li Rongdao said this, and suddenly found that Xiahou Zhongying's face became very strange, his mouth was slightly open, and he looked stunned, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and before he could react, his body was hit by gravity, and he rolled to the ground with a clatter.
Immediately after, a scream of "oops" sounded in the private room. (To be continued......)
