Chapter 706
706 A lifetime is a long time, what’s a few years worth waiting for you 3
Mrs. Yin brought a plate of fruits over and placed it on the side of the chessboard before sitting down beside Mr. Yin Rong. Actually, she also wanted to hear if he wouldn’t have married a girl from the Xu family back then if it wasn’t for his background helping him out, and how he planned to perfectly resolve the marriage alliance with the Xu family.
This was a difficult problem. He had to give his father-in-law a satisfactory answer. Leng Yejin held the White piece tightly and focused on playing chess. He was stuck in a dead end.
“Using a roundabout tactic, I used the reason that it was not suitable for me to get married in less than a year after my grandfather’s death. I dragged it until the end of the year and waited for me to have the confidence to start working at home. I hoped that my family would let me choose my own marriage. He won’t marry a girl from the Xu family, and he won’t expose the fact that he’s engaged to Tong Lu and push her to the forefront of the storm. I can’t give you a specific answer as to how he’s going to settle down.”
If he told them, he would tell the elders in his family that he had already acknowledged Tong Lu as his wife. Mr. Yin Rong would definitely not be satisfied with such an answer. This solution was reckless and impulsive. It would only push Tong Lu to the forefront of the storm. It was the worst plan.
If he said that he would fall out with the elders in his family because of Tong Lu and that he would rather have a beautiful woman than the country, Mr. Yin Rong would definitely not be satisfied even if the answer seemed pretty. Apart from love, there were many other things that a person had to persevere in, and that was responsibility. If he was a man who couldn’t bear the responsibility, Mister Yin Rong would never hand his daughter over to him.
“What I can do is to do my best to minimize Lulu’s damage in this difficult situation and minimize the loss of the family’s interests,” he said.
Mister Yin Rong snorted. Although his words weren’t pleasant to hear, at least this kid wasn’t lying to him. He could tell.
Actually, he did not necessarily need Leng Yejin to give him a satisfactory answer to this difficult problem. This was because Yin Rong felt that Leng Yejin himself would not be able to give a satisfactory answer either. On one hand, it was his family’s responsibility, and on the other hand, he was the person who shared the same bed with him. Since ancient times, no man could give a satisfactory answer to both sides when faced with this problem.
This question was like asking a man who he would save first if both his wife and mother fell into the water at the same time.
Leng Yejin stood up and walked out of the house. He retrieved something from the car and pushed it in front of Mr. Yin Rong.
when I first consummated my marriage with Tong Lu, I handed a copy of our Marriage Registration Form to the Civil Affairs Department and made an agreement with them. Under the premise that the Civil Affairs Department registered Lulu’s marriage status as married first, and set her spouse as a state secret. If I were to marry anyone else, I would be guilty of bigamy.
Mr. Yin Rong took out the document, which clearly stated:
“We’ll make the deal six years later. If I, Leng Yejin, register my marriage with any other woman at the Civil Affairs Bureau within six years, they will be rejected as bigamy. If I, Leng Yejin, and Tong Lu don’t come to the Civil Affairs Department to submit the original Marriage Registration Form within six years and complete the marriage procedures, Tong Lu’s marital status will automatically return to single status. The copy of the Marriage Registration Form will be destroyed by the Civil Affairs Department.”
Leng Yejin told her honestly,”I won’t marry any other woman in the next six years. If I were to really marry a girl from the Xu family, I wouldn’t be able to register it with the Civil Affairs Department. This agreement has been notarized and is legally valid.”
“I didn’t have a good impression of Tong Lu at that time, but I’ve already promised my brother that I’d take her. I don’t intend to shirk my responsibility, so I hope that we can get together within six years. If we can’t be together after six years, I’ll return her freedom and won’t take up her life.”
