My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 509: Why does the village chief’s remark sound a bit sarcastic?

Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Why does the village chief’s remark sound a bit sarcastic?

Grandma Xu spoke whatever crossed her mind regarding the gossip and areas where the Lu Family was looked down upon.

As a result, she momentarily forgot that Lu Zhenguo was also present.

At this moment, Grandma Xu felt a bit embarrassed.

Lu Zhenguo let out a sigh and said with a bitter smile, "You don’t have to worry about me. I never expected Youbang to change so much. Or perhaps, he has been like this all along but has just stopped hiding it now."

The village chief was still unaware of Lu Youzhen’s pregnancy and asked in confusion, "But how could they afford to call a taxi to pick them up? Especially to take them straight to Fengnan City, which must have cost quite a bit of money."

The village chief was currently making a decent income from Hexing Rice, but even so, he was reluctant to spend that much money.

He still wanted to save to buy a house in the Imperial Capital and settle down there.

To bring his wife and son to the Imperial Capital.

Only after living in the Imperial Capital does one truly appreciate how different it is.

Not just the convenience of a big city.

But also a different level of exposure.

He wanted Fang Yanshun to see more of the world and not be a frog in the well.

Ultimately, this was the Lu Family’s matter, and neither Liu Yushu nor Grandma Xu said much else.

Lu Zhenguo felt so ashamed his scalp tingled, feeling utterly disgraceful.

As he hung his head, the business car Zhou Shuyan had arranged earlier pulled up in front of them.

The driver got out, greeted everyone,

and began loading their luggage into the vehicle one piece at a time.

The driver hadn’t arrived late; in fact, he was a bit earlier than the time Zhou Shuyan had arranged.

He did so to avoid the CEO’s wife’s relatives and elders arriving early and having to wait.

Surprisingly, Lu Zhenguo and his party arrived even earlier than the driver.

The driver hurriedly apologized for his perceived tardiness.

"No, not at all; it’s us who arrived quite early," said Lu Zhenguo.

Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu didn’t quite grasp that they were now the parents of Zhou Shuyan’s spouse, still viewing themselves as ordinary people.

They were exceptionally polite and honest in their interactions with others.

On the contrary, they were concerned about the driver arriving early and waiting for them, which is why they showed up even earlier.

Once everyone was on board, the driver started the car and set off. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Lu Zhenguo thought for a moment and decided the village chief was one of their own.

Now working under Lu Youxi, who had handed over the management of Hexing Rice Company to the village chief.

So, Lu Zhenguo decided to tell the village chief the truth, "Youzhen is pregnant."

"Pregnant?" The village chief gasped, "Whose is it? It can’t be... she... she has only been in the Imperial Capital for a short while, and she’s pregnant already?"

The village chief did a rough calculation of the time, "Isn’t that like she got pregnant almost as soon as she arrived in the Imperial Capital?"

"What is this child thinking!" the village chief exclaimed, "How foolish!"

Although Youxi was married early, it was because there was no other choice to marry early.

Even after marriage, she was fully committed to her studies and career.

She and Zhou Shuyan had agreed to wait until after graduation to have children.

Youzhen, on the other hand, had a child before even getting married.

"What about the father of her child? What’s his situation? He will take responsibility for her, right?" the village chief said, "Acting as an unmarried mother is not easy! She will be subject to gossip, and the child will suffer along with her."

Lu Zhenguo sighed and said, "I heard it’s Lin Jingshen’s. They are thinking about how to use this child to successfully marry into the Lin Family."

The village chief was speechless for a long while, then managed to wrap his head around the situation.

With a snort, the village chief said, "No wonder... no wonder they had the money to call a taxi."

Lu Zhenguo felt too ashamed to face the village chief.

What a mess.

It was utterly embarrassing.

Liu Yushu remained silent but thought to herself upon hearing the village chief’s words, as if they carried a hint of mockery.

So Youbang and Youzhen, so suddenly rich, have finally managed to afford a taxi ride!

"However, I’ve heard that Lin Jingshen might already have a fiancée," the village chief added.

"Ah?" This genuinely surprised Liu Yushu.

The village chief nodded and explained, "Although Hexing Rice is in a different industry than the Lin’s, we are all in business. When negotiating deals, attending banquets, and such, it’s hard to avoid hearing some gossip."

"Moreover, with Jingshen repeatedly causing trouble for Youxi, I’ve taken special care to stay informed about his activities," the village chief elaborated, "We’ve been too straightforward in the past, not understanding the ways of the world. We only figured it out when we started getting bullied, and then we retaliated."

"It’s not just Jingshen; Youbang was the same," the village chief said, "When Youxi first opened the internet café, didn’t Youbang also cause trouble?"

"So, I think we can’t continue being naive and do nothing waiting for others to bully us," the village chief stated, "We don’t need to scheme against anyone, but if we know someone has repeatedly been harmful to Youxi, we should at least keep track of their actions."

"If the other party has any ill intentions, we can be aware of them in advance and prepare accordingly," said the village chief.

"That’s why I pay special attention to any gossip related to Lin Jingshen," he declared.

"So what’s the situation with his fiancée? How long have they been engaged?" asked Lu Zhenguo eagerly.

The village chief had already looked into it and said, "I’ve heard his fiancée’s family is also very wealthy, comparable to the Lin’s."

"The Lin’s are in real estate, and his fiancée’s family is in construction," the village chief spoke, "Their company is called Jiangchen Construction."

Lu Zhenguo inhaled sharply, "I’ve seen it."

"I often see construction sites in the Imperial Capital with Jiangchen Construction signs," said Lu Zhenguo, "Even though I don’t know much about it, seeing it so often means the company is powerful, managing to construct so many buildings in the Imperial Capital."

The village chief nodded, "That’s right. Lin’s and Jiangchen Construction often collaborate. Their marriage alliance could create a synergy where 1+1 is greater than 2."

"Think about it, one handles real estate, taking care of acquiring the land and selling the houses once built, while the other one constructs them. The savings in money and hassle are immense when both families collaborate," he explained.

"Therefore, the Lin Family highly values the alliance with Jiangchen Construction," the village chief pointed out, "Even the benefits to the Lin Family from this marriage could be significantly greater than those to Jiangchen Construction."

"That makes sense," Liu Yushu nodded, "Such families value matching social statuses. Not to mention the high standards of Jingshen’s parents; they would surely seek a partner for Jingshen at least as prominent as their own family. They would never consider a girl from an ordinary family."

"Ah, I originally thought that Youzhen was just with Jingshen and then got pregnant, striving to marry into the Lin Family," Grandma Xu commented, pointedly avoiding the words "unexpected" or "accident."

Youzhen’s pregnancy could not possibly have been accidental, it must have been intentional.

"To think Jingshen already has a fiancée, and yet he’s involved with Youzhen, it truly is..." Grandma Xu hesitated to finish the thought in front of Lu Zhenguo but implied that the two were perfectly matched in their actions.
