Chapter 6

This He Jiarong is indeed a bit of a good-for-nothing, but at least he is honest, and since he was raised by her own hands, Li Suqin has some affection for him.

Although marrying him is somewhat a disappointment for her daughter, now that the deed is done, she only hopes that her daughter and he can quickly have a child so that she and her husband can enjoy their grandchild.

"Mom, let's talk about this later," Jiang Yan said coldly, her head lowered.

"But later, daughter, you've been married for almost two years now," Li Suqin said, somewhat anxiously.

Jiang Yan didn't respond, changed her shoes, and turned to enter the bedroom.

In the bathroom, Lin Yu was brushing his shoes and wiping his nose, thinking about Jiang Yan's delicate face and devilish figure, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Probably any man would lose control in front of such a beauty, so he was torn, to sleep with her or not to sleep with her?

Sleep with her, she is after all someone else's wife; not to sleep with her, he is now her husband in name, and if he doesn't help, she and He Jiarong might never have a child.

Thinking about how he was once a distinguished young man in Qinghai City for his bravery, he finally decided to help others for the sake of kindness!

After finishing, he washed up thoroughly and entered the bedroom with a nervous heart.

Jiang Yan was already lying on the bed in her pajamas, and a bed had been set up on the floor.

Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, looked up at Jiang Yan who was focused on playing with her phone, and saw that she had no intention of explaining, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly. No wonder they haven't had a child in almost two years, it turns out He Jiarong has always been sleeping on the floor.

No wonder when he held Jiang Yan's hand today, she felt a bit uncomfortable, they probably rarely even hold hands.

This He Jiarong is really not up to the task!

Lin Yu sighed regretfully, it seems he can't help others this time, so he went over and lay down on the bed.

"Turn off the lights," Jiang Yan said coldly.

"Sure."

Lin Yu felt as if he had returned to his college dormitory.

In the following days, Lin Yu visited his mother and gathered information about He Jiarong through his acquaintances, finally getting a good understanding of this guy.

It turns out He Jiarong is an orphan, adopted by Li Suqin when he was three years old, and later married Jiang Yan. As for why Jiang Yan agreed, it's unknown.

By checking He Jiarong's phone, Lin Yu found that his social circle was very simple, only interacting closely with two porn DVD dealers, and almost no friends.

He had been in a coma for two months, and even the two DVD dealers had lost contact, but Lin Yu thought it was better to have a simple social circle, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Perhaps blood ties are really something magical, after seeing Lin Yu in He Jiarong's body, his mother felt particularly close and gave up the idea of suicide, recognizing him as her adopted son.

Seeing her mother's mood stabilize, Lin Yu felt relieved and decided to find a way to repay the money to Huang Mao, but it was indeed difficult to raise so much money in a short time.

In the afternoon, after returning from his mother's place, Jiang Yan was already back, putting on makeup in front of the mirror.

Her father and mother were also at home, both dressed in more formal attire.

"Why are you just getting back? Hurry up and change, today your uncle's new son-in-law has been promoted, and he's inviting us for dinner," her mother urged.

After Lin Yu entered the room, Jiang Yan had already finished getting ready, wearing a black lace off-shoulder long dress, her black hair draped over one shoulder, looking sexy and alluring, yet dignified and steady.

Lin Yu was somewhat stunned, a world-class beauty, that's what she is.

"If you don't want to go, you can stay at home," Jiang Yan said coldly.

"What, afraid I'll embarrass you?" Lin Yu laughed self-deprecatingly.

"No," Jiang Yan's face changed slightly, and she quickly walked out.

Lin Yu wasn't blind, since Jiang Yan didn't want him to go, he decided to stay at home, but Li Suqin disagreed, fearing that Jiang Yan's uncle would make trouble.

Lin Yu had no choice but to go with them, but it was clear that Jiang Yan wasn't very happy.

Fenghua Tower is a high-end restaurant with a unique style in Qinghai City, and the fact that Jiang Yan's uncle's new son-in-law could host a dinner here shows that he indeed has some ability.

After they arrived, they were led to a large private room upstairs with two round tables, and most of the relatives were already there. Jiang Yan called out, and Lin Yu quickly followed, acting like a henpecked husband.

The relatives all showed a mocking expression, ignoring Lin Yu.

Sitting at the main seat at their table were Jiang Yan's uncle and aunt, with their son-in-law and daughter on either side. The new son-in-law is named Zhang Xun, very fair-skinned, with a square face, thick lips, and glasses, speaking in a manner that clearly shows he is a government official.

"Thank you all for coming, I'll drink first!" Zhang Xun raised his glass, said a few polite words, and drank it all in one go.

"Xiao Zhang, no need to be so formal, my cousin will need your help as the head of the health bureau," a tall man stood up and drank a glass.

"To be a deputy director at such a young age, Xiao Zhang is truly talented."

"Promoted so quickly, you'll be a bureau chief before long."

"Don't forget us poor relatives when you get there."

The relatives laughed and chatted, each adding a comment.

"Uncles and aunts, you're too kind. I, Zhang Xun, will always be your junior, and I'll never refuse any request," Zhang Xun said, using the official language, which pleased the relatives, who nodded and praised him.

"Jiarong, since you're better now, you should learn from your brother-in-law and be more ambitious, don't be idle all day."

At this point, an elder suddenly directed the conversation to Lin Yu.

Jiang Yan's face turned even colder, and Li Suqin and Jiang Jingren's faces also turned red and white, unable to bear it.

Both are sons-in-law, but why is there such a big difference between them?

"Right, Jiarong, you don't have a job yet, how about letting your brother-in-law help you find a job at the health bureau?"

Jiang Yan's aunt said with a somewhat arrogant attitude, disliking her niece and her husband from the bottom of her heart, as her late father-in-law had favored Jiang Yan more.

"Mom, I'm afraid I can't do that. Even the janitors at the health bureau need at least a college degree," Zhang Xun smiled, "Sorry, Jiarong, I can't help."

Lin Yu nodded and smiled, thinking that government officials are indeed skilled at killing without spilling blood.

"You can't just sit at home, you can't always rely on your wife. I know a contractor, they need bricklayers, 180 yuan a day, I can help you contact them."

"Our factory also has a gatekeeper job, it's easy, but the pay is low."

"Without education or skills, you can only do this kind of work, don't be picky."

The relatives chattered, ostensibly showing concern, but in essence, mocking.

Jiang Yan's face was cold, trying to suppress her anger, each word felt like a slap in the face, this good-for-nothing, he has disgraced her.

"Eat, eat, let's eat!"

Seeing Li Suqin and her husband's faces getting worse, Jiang Yan's uncle quickly intervened, inviting everyone to eat.

Although the words were harsh, Lin Yu didn't care, he ate and drank as usual, after all, they were talking about He Jiarong, not him.

"A good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing, just knows how to eat."

"Maybe he got stupid from the fall last time."

"Calling him Jiarong, I think Jia Shuai would be more fitting."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

A few cousins and younger siblings also whispered and mocked Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was somewhat angry, it was one thing for the elders to mock, but why were you all following along?

"Old Li, what's going on, didn't you say I booked this private room?"

At this moment, an extremely displeased voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, Captain Liu, I'm really sorry, it was my mistake. How about I change it for you?"

"Change? How can I change it? Is there a better room? Do you know who's coming today? You go talk to the people inside and ask them to change."

"This... Captain Liu, to be honest, the person inside is a health bureau official, I can't offend him."

The owner was referring to Zhang Xun, who, although not a high-ranking official, had jurisdiction over the restaurant, and could make life difficult with a little effort.

Hearing this, Zhang Xun felt more confident, stood up, and shouted at the door, "Who is it, daring to disturb my meal!"

His shout made the relatives in the room feel proud, and they unconsciously straightened their backs.

"I am the captain of the criminal investigation team, Liu Changming."

As he spoke, a man in his thirties pushed the door open, glanced at everyone, and said, "Sorry everyone, this private room was originally booked by me, but the waiter made a mistake. I have some important guests arriving soon, I hope you can be accommodating and change to another room."

"Why should we? We're already halfway through our meal, and you want us to change places?"

"Exactly, what's so great about being a criminal investigation team captain?"

"What right do you have to make us do this?"

Jiang Yan's cousins and younger siblings immediately objected, being young and hot-blooded, they didn't take the criminal investigation team captain seriously.

Originally, Zhang Xun was a bit intimidated by the title of criminal investigation team captain and was ready to give in, but these words made him lose face, so he had to put on a tough act, "Captain Liu, we're in the middle of our meal, it's not appropriate to ask us to leave, right?"

"Sorry, brother, just be accommodating," Liu Changming admitted he was in the wrong.

"Sorry, we can't be accommodating. If you want this room, you'll have to wait until we're done."

Since there was no room for negotiation, Zhang Xun decided to stand his ground, after all, the criminal investigation team captain couldn't interfere with the health bureau.

"Right, if you want this room, you'll have to wait until we're done."

After Zhang Xun spoke, the other cousins and younger siblings also chimed in, looking at Zhang Xun with even more admiration.

"Old Liu, what's going on, why are you taking so long to change rooms? The bureau chief will be here soon."

Another voice came from outside, and then Deng Chengbin walked in.

"Deng Chief, you're here at the right time. I wanted them to change rooms, but the health bureau official refused and asked us to wait until they're done," Liu Changming glanced at Zhang Xun and said coldly.

"Deng... Deng Chief?!"

Zhang Xun was so scared that his face turned white, and he stood up with a clatter, knocking over his bowl and chopsticks.

"Are you from the health bureau? Which department?"

Deng Chengbin clearly didn't recognize Zhang Xun, and looked at him coldly, clearly displeased.

"Chief, I'm from the disease control department, Zhang Xun."

Zhang Xun's words were stammering, and sweat was pouring down his forehead. Offending a deputy chief, he would have no future.

"Tonight I'm hosting a dinner for the police bureau chief. Can you be accommodating and give us this room?"

Deng Chengbin said with a stern expression.

"Of course, of course."

Zhang Xun nodded repeatedly, and then signaled to the relatives to take their bowls and chopsticks and move to another room.

The relatives, hearing that it was Zhang Xun's chief, dared not speak up, and quietly packed up their things to leave.

"Deng Chief, isn't this a bit too much to ask?"

At this moment, Lin Yu's voice sounded calmly.
