Su Zhen thought about the feasibility of Lin Yin’s method.
Lin Yin continued, “It’s really inappropriate for such a thing to happen to between a biological son and stepdaughter, but it’s understandable for such a thing to happen to a child bride. Why don’t we say that because your biological daughter was lost, that’s why you treated the adopted child bride as your biological daughter?”
Seeing that Su Zhen had no objections, Lin Yin continued, “Because they had raised her for so long, the Su Family doted on Su Fei to the extreme. Therefore, when Su Fei liked Zheng Chao back then, the Su Family naturally gave Su Fei their biological daughter’s engagement. Previously, Su Fei broke off the engagement, so this matter was brought up again. Su Fei and Su Lin were also interacting with each other with their parents’ consent to nurture their relationship.”
Su Zhen frowned. This was a good idea. At least their Su Family’s face was saved a little.
But even so, it could not wash away the fact that Su Fei was ultimately engaged to the Jiang Family.
Su Zhen said in disagreement, “Who doesn’t know that the engagement banquet yesterday was a marriage between the Su Family and the Jiang Family? The Jiang Family has also lost all their face. They wanted to kick us out of the project of West Suburbs Forest Bay.”
Lin Yin smiled. “That’s right. Dad, you said it yourself. The Jiang Family has lost all their face, so I think Jiang Nian must want to take off this cuckold, and the Jiang Family also wants to get rid of the reputation of being played by the
Su Family.”
Su Zhen’s eyes flashed with confusion as he continued to listen to Lin Yin.
“There weren’t many guests here yesterday. There were only about ten tables, and they weren’t full yet. Moreover, there were even fewer guests who saw Brother and Su Fei kissing. The engagement venue didn’t follow the previous customs of the circle and have engagement flowers of unmarried couples.
There weren’t any banners or signs at the event location that said Su Fei and Jiang Nian’s engagement banquet, right?” Lin Yin analyzed.
Su Zhen’s eyes lit up slightly. That’s right. At that time, because the two families were in a hurry to cooperate and it was Su Fei and Jiang Nian’s second engagement, all the engagement ceremonies were simple.
Moreover, because Mrs. Jiang was dissatisfied with Su Fei, she did not prepare many things that they should have. If they did not mention anything, no one outside would know who was getting engaged.
“If this engagement banquet is the engagement banquet of the Su Family and the Jiang Family, then the Su Family and the Jiang Family will be embarrassed. What if it’s not an engagement banquet?” Lin Yin’s eyes lit up as she looked at Su Zhen.
Lin Yin saw the calculative look in Su Zhen’s eyes and took the opportunity to say, “Dad, why don’t we cooperate with the Jiang Family and let Su Fei acknowledge Uncle Jiang as her godfather? Yesterday’s banquet was a filiation banquet. Then, isn’t it normal for Jiang Nian to pretend to be angry because his god-sister was snatched away by Su Lin?”
“And it’s even more normal for Brother to kiss Su Fei. Because Su Fei was raised as a child bride and was originally prepared for Brother. What’s wrong with kissing her a few times?” Lin Yin tried her best to explain her opinion in detail.
Su Zhen thought that if the Jiang Family could really cooperate, this would be a very good idea. As for the guests from yesterday, it was not impossible to contact them properly when the time came.
Lin Yin stood up and continued to pour Su Zhen a glass of water. She asked,
“Dad, you’re worried that the Jiang family won’t be willing, right?”
Su Zhen let out a long sigh and nodded. “Since yesterday, the Jiang Family has been targeting the Su Family in all sorts of ways. This is a matter of face. What you said makes sense. You helped the Jiang Family resolve the face problem on the surface, but the Jiang Family knows the truth. I’m afraid they can’t take this lying down. ”
“Then compensate the Jiang Family. Most conflicts in the world can be resolved with benefits.” Lin Yin smiled at Su Zhen’s dilemma.
Lin Yin had originally planned to let the Su Family and the Jiang Family have a marriage alliance so that their interests would be tied together. When something happened to the Jiang Family, the Su Family would be finished.
However, he did not expect that his good plan would be ruined by Su Lin and Su Fei, this adulterous couple who could not stand loneliness.
In this situation, it was obviously impossible for the Jiang Family to have any more dealings with the Su Family, let alone business dealings.
Since that was the case, why don’t he change his plan?
When Su Zhen heard the word compensation, his expression darkened. “How? The Jiang Family is insatiable. Once we propose compensation, they will definitely ask for an exorbitant price.”
“Dad, didn’t we earn a little money from the West Suburb Forest Bay project? Let’s get our capital back and compensate the Jiang Family with the money we earned. I think the Jiang Family will consider such sincerity,” Lin Yin said.
“Impossible!” Su Zhen rejected.
He had earned a lot from the land in the West Suburbs Forest Bay this time. He was unwilling to give it all to the Jiang Family..
