my benefactors

As a successful man who grew up in the slums and has a transcendent status today, Xiang Dongming's communication skills have long been tempered to be unparalleled in smoothness and shrewdness. When dealing with such an important occasion that is under great pressure in the eyes of others, he behaved very well. Very easy and calm.

Maybe Yue Zhenghan didn't bring up the topic just now, or maybe Mr. Yue took it as a joke, so the engagement incident that Yue Zhenghan admitted just now was deliberately ignored by everyone.

Li You sat next to Yue Zhaoze with a cautious expression, nervously and obediently listening to his introductions one by one, not to mention the dozen or so distinguished guests, even if Li You didn't often watch TV, he would still recognize them, the foreign minister of such and such, the director of such and such group The leader, the head of a certain legion, the national champion of a certain Chinese medicine doctor, etc.

Compared with these, what Li You wants to know more is the Yue family.

The first old man in the red Chinese tunic suit was Mr. Yue, and the one sitting on the right of the old man was the current head of the Yue family, Yue Zhenghan's father. His family called him Mr. General.Sitting on the left of the old man is the second son of the Yue family, Yue Zhengfei's father, known as Mr. Er.Looking to the left, it is the foreign man who just talked to Yue Zhenghan, named Louis Qiu Te, who is Yue Zhaoze's married partner. Afterwards, apart from Yue Zhenghan who is sitting next to the general, he is sitting obediently on Yue Er Mr. Yue Zhengfei pretending to be a good boy by his side.

In addition to them, there are two main members of the Yue family, one is the lover of Mr. Yue Er who is the deputy director of a public security department and the mother of Yue Zhengfei, and the other is the widow of the deceased Miss Yue Shan who was raised in Yue Zhengfei since she was a child. Parents grew up and crowned Yue Xing's cousin, Yue Shuman.

The offshoots of the Yue family are distributed in the south, and Yue Wuye is the head of the offshoot lineage. He originally had two sons and two daughters under his knees. Unfortunately, after two tragedies in which a white-haired man sent a black-haired man, all four children died in the line of duty. Such a precious grandson as Yue Zhengqingtang has been treated as an eyeball since he was a child, like his lifeblood.

Speaking of this Fifth Master Yue, Yue Zhaoze's words were reserved, and he basically told Li You that this old man's heart is wilder than anyone else's, and when he sees him in the future, try to stay as far away as possible, so as not to be caught and suffer disaster .But the young master Yue Zhengqingtang made Yue Zhaoze admire him a little, he only said that the child was upright, and fortunately he was not spoiled by that bad old man Yue Wuye.

Li You listened quietly, nodding frequently to keep in mind, and sneaking a glance at Yue Zhenghan from time to time.

Yue Zhaoze's voice was very soft and gentle, mixed with a touch of comfort and consideration from the elders, Li You was subdued immediately. From the simple worship of idols in the past to the comforting touch now, it can almost be said that he is brain-dead Powder is not too much.

Yue Zhaoze looked at the eager admiration in the little guy's watery eyes, and felt quite proud and enjoying it. It stands to reason that a super movie star like him who has countless fans in the world has long been used to this kind of gaze that is always pursued and obsessed by others. But for some reason, the little guy looked at him with unique and pure respect and admiration, which made him very rare and fond of it.

Could it be that this is the eye edge in the legend?

Yue Zhaoze squinted his eyes and smiled gracefully, staring at Li You's cute and cute little expression, his heart instantly softened into a puddle of water, he couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed the little guy's fluffy head, which was black and soft He couldn't put it down for a while because of his short hair: "After they finish talking, you take the initiative to wish the old man a birthday."

Hearing this, Li You was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Yue Zhaoze meant. This was clearly helping him build a ladder. As for whether to climb it or how to climb it, it was up to him.

Of course, there are also elements of temptation and testing.

If Li You was not a fool, he would have understood it immediately.

"Okay, thank you, senior." Li You calmed down, and smiled gratefully at Yue Zhaoze with his small mouth tilted up.

"What do you call me senior? Just like Xiaohan, you call me uncle."

Li You immediately said obediently and softly, "Uncle."

Yue Zhaoze clutched his thumping chest, his fair handsome face flushed a little, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he wished he could hold the little guy in his arms right now, and ravage him wantonly.

Tsk tsk, isn't this kind of thought too harsh?

Not knowing that a certain movie star had some kind of weird and terrible thoughts about him, Li You obediently thought about the draft of his birthday celebration in his heart, and organized all the nice words that he thought were the most polite.

Yue Zhaoze is 35 years old this year, but because of proper maintenance and being nourished by his romantic partner Xingfu all the year round, his mentality is more lively and cheerful than that of young people, so his appearance looks like he is in his twenties.He and his twin sister, Yue Shan, are old sons of Mr. Yue. They have been loved since they were young, but they are very gentle, without the slightest impetuousness and arrogance of the children of the big family. In addition, he has a charming temperament, is knowledgeable and talkative, and he soon became Captured a little fresh meat, Li You.

The two of them talked in a very low voice, trying not to affect the elders who were talking about important matters at the side. However, Mr. Qiu Te who was beside Yue Zhaoze seemed impatient.

"Honey, you've left me out." The blond man drooped his head like a big abandoned dog, looking at his lover resentfully.

"Louis, if you're hungry, there's something to eat over there." Yue Zhaoze ruthlessly pointed to the buffet in the distance, and stared at him coldly: Get out, don't bother me!

Mr. Qiu Te suffered a blow of understanding, and he was so sad that he had nothing to love. In the end, he shamelessly shifted the target of jealousy to the culprit who attracted his lover's attention.

"Are you Ming Ming's publicly admitted lover?"

Qiu Te's voice was very low, without any malice, nor any doubts, just asking for confirmation.

Li You's body froze, and then he remembered that this foreign man seemed to be Xiang Dongming's...uncle.

The next moment, Li You was shocked to know that the relationship between Yue Zhenghan and Xiang Dongming was not just that of friends.

Li You lowered his head in a panic, afraid that the dodge in his eyes would be noticed by the sharp-eyed blond man, and he forced to answer calmly: "Mr. Qiu Te, I'm sorry, Xiang Dongming and I are not lovers. "

"Oh? Really?" Mr. Qiu Te said in a slightly surprised tone, sounding extremely perfunctory, as if the matter between Li You and his nephew had nothing to do with him.

Li You secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that what he was going to face was the anger of this man who defended against injustice, but unexpectedly, there was no so-called contempt and sarcasm, but it made Li You feel like a villain.

When Li You came into contact with the upper class in his previous life, those rich people thought that the nobles were superior to others, and treated ordinary commoners like them with contempt, and sometimes insulted, ridiculed and contemptuously, as if the existence of people like them polluted them Grunge swag of the eyes.

Such things and people are still fresh in Li You's memory, and he hates them very much!

But at this moment, in such a precious occasion, those big figures who could shake the country of Hua with just a stomp of their feet, did not have the slightest resentment or disgust for him, a small man who suddenly broke in.Or in other words, for people like them who are at the top of the world, they have a real aristocratic upbringing and the approachability of the superiors, and they don't care about an ordinary person at all, even if they don't look down, they can appear in the world. Here, too, it cannot be underestimated.

A person's quality can be seen in his speech and demeanor.

Li You felt that his trip was worthwhile, not only did he see so many great people, but he also opened up a new visual perspective.

Yue Zhaoze noticed subtly that Li You had gradually become calm and calm from being nervous at the beginning, and he couldn't help but feel more and more satisfied with him in his heart. The little guy has great potential and is a man to be made.

During the chat between Li You and Yue Zhaoze, the conversation with Mr. Yue was almost over.

Yue Zhenghan saw that the time was almost up. He stood up first, and under the eyes of everyone around him who didn't know why, he calmly said in public: "Thank you for coming to celebrate my grandfather's birthday. I want to take this opportunity to announce something."

Afterwards, he looked at Li You who was tense all over, smiled and waved: "Youyou, come here."

Li You understood and stood up obediently.It's just that he didn't hurry to go to Yue Zhenghan's side, but held the gift box that Yue Zhenghan gave him in advance with his hands tied, walked up to Mr. Yue nervously, bowed down respectfully and politely: "Hello, Mr. Yue, it's an honor to be able to participate Your birthday. May you be as blessed as the East China Sea, and your longevity is better than Nanshan!"

"Ah."

Father Yue has always been tolerant and loving towards juniors.Although he didn't like the starlet in front of him very much, the young man was thin and thin, and he was so old that he wouldn't be as knowledgeable as a child.

Seeing that Mr. Yue accepted his gift, Li You's little face flushed with excitement, and he smiled silly.

Mr. Yue pursed his lips critically, thinking to himself why did his eldest grandson take a fancy to the child?

"Oh! This kid is really sensible, and Xiaohan has a good vision. Dad, don't you think so?"

Yue Zhaoze looked like he was afraid of chaos, completely ignoring his father's murderous eyes, stood up with a happy grin, and took Li You directly to his eldest nephew.

Yue Zhenghan nodded to Yue Zhaoze with gratitude in his eyes, then took Li You's hand and half embraced him, his pair of deep and dark pupils looked around everyone present again, and announced with a serious expression: "Li You, my future Daughter-in-law. I want to hold a simple engagement ceremony with Youyou tonight, and Zhenghan would like to invite all uncles and grandpas to be witnesses for us."

Hearing this, Li You was instantly stunned!

And Yue Zhenghan's words also shocked everyone, and it was rare for those big figures who were always shocked to show a slight change of expression.

It has been a hundred years since the founding of Huaguo. With the rapid development of science and technology, society and civilization, ordinary gay marriages in the world have been legalized. As the largest country in Eastern Continent, Huaguo was the first to open this policy.

It has only been less than ten years since same-sex marriage was allowed in China. Although the people of Huaguo no longer have harsh views on homosexuality, the aristocratic groups in the upper class of Huaguo, as well as those big families with a long history, have always followed the rules of their ancestors. According to family precepts and ancient traditions, no male in the family is allowed to marry a male wife or marry a man.

In the eyes of those aristocratic families, even if homosexuality is not shameful, it will not be disgusting, but they all pay great attention to the continuation of good blood, which is one of the reasons why the big families are very opposed to the legalization of same-sex marriage.

The issue of offspring is the number one obstacle!

Although modern medical technology is advanced, surrogacy and test-tube babies can be seen everywhere, but in the hearts of those old guys who still have stubborn feudal thoughts, the children conceived by unnatural marriages are all insignificant!

Especially as one of the supporters who once served as the top military leader of Huaguo and vigorously advocated the legalization of same-sex marriage in policy, Mr. Yue is definitely a duplicity old stubborn.

He can watch others being gay, but he will never allow his own grandson to follow suit.

Of course, his youngest son Yue Zhaoze is an exception.The youngest son of the old man was well-behaved and obedient since he was a child, but he did not expect to become a rebellious man when he grew up. He would rather sever ties with the Yue family than marry a man. Back then, the old man almost died of anger on the hospital bed because of this matter. The relationship between the two is rigid, and they have never met each other without telling each other, even to the point where they never communicate with each other.

As for why Yue Zhaoze returned to Yue's family again later, and brought his lover to get the approval and forgiveness of the old man, the reasons for this will not be elaborated here.

Anyway, after all, what the old man was most afraid of happened.

"It's bullshit!"

Old Man Yue took Fifth Master Yue's crutch by his side, and slammed it hard on the carpet. The old man rarely lost his temper, and once he got angry, his heart would be torn apart.

It's just that it was aimed at most of the people, everyone at the scene, even though they were afraid, they could barely hold back.

Yue Zhenghan was different. He was not afraid of the old man getting angry, but he was afraid that the old man would pretend to be sick and force the marriage. Even if the old man shocked the audience, he would not be able to change his mind.

"Grandpa, Youyou is your prospective granddaughter-in-law and the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Yue family. I hope you will like him and accept him."

"Take him down, don't let people see the joke!" Old Master Yue's face was ashen, and a pair of tiger eyes stared at Yue Zhenghan warningly.

"Grandpa, did you say the same thing when you agreed with my mother to join the Yue family? If my mother hadn't been pregnant with me, you might not have nodded to let her in."

Yue Zhenghan hugged Li You's waist tightly with an iron arm, gently stroking the little guy with his palm, reassuring him not to be afraid.

Li You could feel the man's care, he lowered his head slightly, his whole body was embedded in Yue Zhenghan's tall body, his tense body cuddled up firmly and trustingly, and slowly relaxed.

"Xiaohan, shut up." Yue Zhaowei frowned and scolded softly.

Yue Zhenghan pretended he didn't hear it. He looked deeply at the old man Yue who was flushed with anger, and said unhurriedly: "Grandpa, I respect you very much, and I very much hope that you will be in good health. However, I don't want to go against my will." I like Youyou, and I want to marry him as my wife, such a simple wish, I implore you to fulfill it."

Yue Zhenghan seldom spoke at home, and he always had a cold attitude towards his family members. Even if he occasionally chatted patiently with the old man, it would be impossible for him to say something other than work.

Now, listening to this grandson whom he had hoped for, asking him to agree to marry a man in front of so many people, and saying so many things he couldn't refute, Mr. Yue felt his heart throbbing. .

"Xiaohan, it's because you are ignorant. It's really unfilial to make fun of your grandfather at his birthday banquet! Hurry up and apologize to your grandfather, and then pretend nothing happened. It's your grandfather's fault." The body is more important than this little vixen, you can figure it out yourself!"

Fifth Master Yue was a bit of a fool, but he was very loyal to Mr. Yue, and the one who respected and feared him was this eldest brother. Seeing that little bastard Yue Zhenghan made his elder brother angry like this, Fifth Master Yue immediately became unhappy and kept a serious look. The old face reprimanded him.

Yue Zhenghan boldly ignored Fifth Master Yue who was baring his teeth and claws, raised his chin and told Twelve beside him: "Mr. Xu, please come here."

"Yes."

"What do you mean? Yue Zhenghan! You can't rebel if you want to!" Fifth Master Yue glared at Yue Zhenghan angrily.

"Uncle Wu, don't be as knowledgeable as the juniors. Xiaohan is solving personal problems. As elders, we should talk in a friendly manner. It is outrageous to be noisy." Yue Er, who had been muffled all the time, spoke Sir, he is good-looking, calm and wise, and is a very good and successful politician.

After hearing this, Fifth Master Yue shut his mouth with a groan, but his expression was still ugly.

Yue Zhaoting looked at his father with a smile: "Dad, today is your [-]th birthday, so be happy and don't get angry easily. Besides, you have high blood pressure, so pay attention to your health, don't get angry, let Uncle Xu show you Look."

"Hmph! I want to be happy but I can't be happy. Someone sincerely makes me uncomfortable and deliberately wants to make me mad!"

Mr. Yue was relentless. He knew that his second son wanted to save the embarrassing situation, but he just couldn't get angry. His beloved eldest grandson dared to fight against him!

"Dad, look at you, the more you live, the more you look like a child." Yue Zhaoting shook his head and laughed, calling to Mr. Xu who came quickly, asking him to check on the old man.

Yue Zhaowei also nodded in agreement, the son's marriage is not in a hurry, the father's health is the most important thing.

The old man glared at Xu Lao angrily, and was telling him, you'd better not come over.

Mr. Xu pretended not to see it, and walked over without turning his eyes. The capable apprentice Mu Liaosheng beside him quickly knelt down to help the master.

Mr. Yue blew his beard and stared, and was forcefully "suppressed" by Mr. Xu and his disciples.

Taking advantage of the old man's pulse diagnosis, Yue Zhenghan quietly glanced at Xiang Dongming who was sitting alone.

Xiang Dongming seemed to have sensed it, he raised his eyes to look over, and hooked the corners of his mouth at Yue Zhenghan charmingly.

Yue Zhenghan frowned slightly, always feeling that Xiang Dongming would not be indifferent, this guy definitely came prepared.

In order to preemptively strike, Yue Zhenghan was eager to finalize the engagement ceremony, so he ordered Eleven to do it immediately.

But unfortunately, Xiang Dongming did not disappoint him.

Huo Di stood up from the sofa, Xiang Dongming arranged his clothes casually, walked gracefully in front of Yue Zhenghan with his long legs, and secretly directed his subordinates to block Eleven's way.

As expected, Xiang Dongming did not stage a big production of "unreasonable trouble" at the Yue family's birthday banquet, but played a small trick.

"Cousin can find a sweetheart, congratulations! However, everyone has the freedom to pursue true love. The little guy in your arms happened to make me fall in love at first sight. I don't know if I have the right to compete fairly with you." ?”

Xiang Dongming deliberately raised his voice so that everyone present could hear him.The effect was obvious. Before everyone recovered from the surprise of Yue Zhenghan's immediate engagement, they heard that Xiang Dongming was robbing him in public.

Xiang Dongming thought that Yue Zhenghan would get angry and lose control, but what he never expected was that Yue Zhenghan didn't object.

Young Master Yue pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "I welcome you very much."

Xiang Dongming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled evilly: "Then I'm not going to be polite. But before that, for the sake of fairness, I hope that my cousin will not get engaged. Maybe in the future, the little guy will empathize with you. The bamboo basket was empty for fetching water."

"You can get divorced even if you are married. As long as you have the ability, just come." Yue Zhenghan's words were cold and provocative.

This means that the engagement cannot be canceled.

Xiang Dongming squinted his eyes, danger flashed past: "That's really my honor. I can compete with Young Master Yue for his love. I think this game will definitely be very exciting."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Li You who was in Yue Zhenghan's arms, and he was bound to win.

Li You was not deaf, and after listening to the whole conversation between the two, he was in a bad mood!

Could it be that these two men really regarded him as a bargaining chip in a decisive battle!

Li You was angry and hated, what was Yue Zhenghan thinking?And Xiang Dongming, this bastard is lingering, even worse than Cheng Honglin!

But no matter how unhappy he was, since he decided to follow Yue Zhenghan, he would not change his mind, nor would he provoke that demon Xiang Dongming again.

Xiang Dongming wanted to stop Yue Zhenghan and Li You's engagement plan, obviously it would not go well.

Mr. Yue's health is fine, Mr. Xu tried his best to persuade him to let it be, and not to get angry at himself. Mr. Yue groaned a few words, wondering if Mr. Xu said something to him, Mr. Yue's attitude was miraculous generally softened.

Yue Zhenghan didn't hesitate anymore, he made a decisive decision, ordered the banquet to continue, and when he was ready, he led Li You to the outer hall under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Old Yue, is this marriage going to be fixed or not?" One of Mr. Yue's comrades-in-arms, an old man in his sixtieth year, couldn't help asking.

Mr. Yue glared at him angrily: "You want to see me laugh on purpose, right?"

The sixtieth old man smiled and said, "Oh, I don't dare."

As if remembering something, the old man sighed regretfully: "Xiaohan is the most promising grandchildren among our group of grandchildren. If it wasn't for his mother's incident that caused psychological trauma, he would also suffer a lot mentally. Small blow, now this kid is definitely a leader in the army and is expected to inherit Zhaowei's mantle. Hey! It's a pity that such a good seedling actually went to learn business..."

Mr. Yue's face turned dark when he heard this, this old fellow deliberately made fun of him!

"Don't be stubborn anymore. You regretted it because of the eldest daughter-in-law back then. Now that Xiaohan finally has someone he likes, you just follow him. After all, you are still young, and you will always When you are impulsive. You say that you are so old, why worry about it, and have a strong desire to control, it is not a good thing after all. "

This time, the one who dared to blatantly teach Mr. Yue a lesson was a very prestigious president who abdicated in his early years. He was much older than Mr. Yue in terms of age and qualifications, so he was qualified to point out Mr. Yue's mistakes and shortcomings.

When Mr. Yue heard this, his arrogance immediately faded away, and he sighed in a long voice: "Old brother, you don't understand, our Yue family has few descendants in the past, so I only count on my two grandsons to carry on the family line of our Yue family and continue the incense. ...But because of his mother, my eldest grandson has always had feelings for me over the years, and I'm worried that he is trying to anger me on purpose..."

"Even if there is a big misunderstanding, he is also your grandson. Heirs are very important, but you can't take this as a means of persecution. No matter how much the child blames you in his heart, he will not make fun of your body. Since he has If you make a mistake once, don’t make it again...Let’s go, go and have a look, and give that kid Xiaohan a good look.”

The old man stood up together, and the others followed suit.

No matter how reluctant Mr. Yue was, he had no choice but to hold back for the time being.

Several old comrades-in-arms and old colleagues around him began to congratulate Mr. Yue, saying that the Yue family was really happy tonight, and some envied Mr. Yue for having a grandson-in-law so soon.

Mr. Yue's face turned green when he heard it, but he couldn't lose his demeanor and curse back, so he could only stare angrily at these old guys who were gloating at others' misfortune.

And Yue Zhaowei and Yue Zhaoting who followed behind were much calmer than Mr. Yue.

Yue Zhaowei felt sorry for Yue Zhenghan's mother the most in his life. He felt guilty towards both mother and son, and never thought of interfering in his son's love life.Back then when he learned that Yue Zhenghan had adopted a starlet, he actually disapproved of it, so he resorted to some tricks with the old man's acquiescence, but he didn't expect that his son still gave him a big "surprise".

Yue Zhaoting knew about this, and he was also one of the "culprits".

"Brother, do you think Xiaohan knows?"

The two brothers knew what Yue Zhaoting was referring to.

Yue Zhaowei was not sure: "Probably."

Yue Zhaoting said worriedly: "I always feel that what we did was a little unkind. Now that Dong Ming and Xiao Han are at odds, what should we do?"

"I can follow his wishes and acquiesce in his engagement. What do you think he can do." Yue Zhaowei was in a great headache. Once his son made a decision, no one could easily change it.

"Brother, it's useless if you accept it. The key is..."

Before he finished speaking, Yue Zhaoting's shoulder was put up by an arm.

"Second brother, if you're worried, why don't I break the engagement and take that little guy away to avoid future troubles, what do you think?"

Yue Zhaoting's eyelids twitched, and he turned his head to look at the enlarged version of Mr. Qiu Te's bright smiling face, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"what are you going to do?"

Mr. Qiu Te grinned and smiled harmlessly: "Since you don't agree with the little guy marrying into Yue's family, then let him marry into Xiang's family. By the way, you can also annoy that old man in Xiang's family."

Hearing this, Yue Zhaowei and Yue Zhaoze turned black at the same time.

"Why, you don't want to? Didn't you just..."

"Louis, don't make trouble."

Facing an old monster in his forties who was still living in the second stage of middle school every day, even Yue Zhaowei and Yue Zhaoting had strong mentality, so they had to bow down and dodge it in time.

"I didn't make a fuss. Big brother and second brother, what I said is true. It's better to marry my nephew than to let the little guy be bullied by you gangsters. Anyway, my nephew also likes the little guy very much, and I can marry him from Yue Zhenghan's hand." Grab a fiancée from here, tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me feel very excited!"

The two brothers of the Yue family were once again speechless, their expressions changing brilliantly.

After finally getting rid of Mr. Qiu Te's entanglement, Yue Zhaowei came to the gathering place in front of the banquet, and saw his son Yue Zhenghan walking onto the stage with the little star in his arms, and the twelve hands standing next to him were holding a small tray with two rings inside. red box.

Yue Zhaoting also came over at this time, with a little tail beside him, Yue Zhengfei.

"Father, elder brother got engaged in such a hasty manner that he didn't have time to prepare anything. Do you want me to help him?"

Yue Zhengfei was chatting happily with You Rong, but he didn't expect that Li You would really become his own sister-in-law, and his relationship with the Little Mermaid would take a further step in the future.

Second Young Master Yue, who was thinking about something, had a distracted look on his face, but unexpectedly, he was immediately woken up by his father's thud.

"You give me peace of mind!"

Yue Zhengfei clutched his head, the pain was so painful that he didn't even dare to show his teeth, his father was too cruel, the baby was suffering!

"Thank you to all the guests who came to my grandfather's birthday tonight, and I would like to take this opportunity to announce a happy event in public."
