I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a Thousand Years - Chapter 148
Chapter 148: Can be changed, right?
Li Maoren reacted greatly.
In fact, he still didn’t believe Wu Chen’s words. Wu Chen just said that the truth still needed to be verified, but this kind of thing could only be believed for the time being. It’s too big a deal!
But Wu Chen had already expressed his meaning very clearly. He said that He Shiqin was a witness. He Shiqin still hated Ding Ruilong… she wanted to get Ding Ruilong!
From Li Maoren’s standpoint, he would never let Wu Chen do this.
The Li family and the Ding family established an alliance many years ago, and they joined forces in many fields.
Didn’t it mean that if Li Ruobing refused the family arrangement four years ago, the Li family and the Ding family procrastinated on not cooperating, and they had to wait for Li Ruobing and Ding Ruilong to get married? Wait a few years? Of course not!
The marriage of Li Ruobing and Ding Ruilong was the most important part of the alliance between the two, and it was one of the guarantees for long-term alliance and cooperation, but it was not the only one!
To put it bluntly, it was a stronger “bond of interests”!
From this point of view, there was no need to even consider the relationship between husband and wife at all.
It was difficult to be happy in an arranged marriage where a big family was married, and it was already very good to be able to live in harmony and respect each other as guests!
Li Maoren and his wife were an arranged marriage, which was the bond of alliance between the Li family and the Sun family.
Li Maoren had a good relationship with his wife, although he secretly has a lover.
And that’s all good!
After the children of many big families get married due to arranged marriage, the children would live their lives, and the husband and wife would start to play their own things after that!
Play how you want, play with whoever you like, and show affection in public on the surface, acting like a model couple!
In private, no one cared about anyone! Each had a lover, and they all had a lot of fun!
It’s nothing!
Whether the relationship between the married couple was good or bad, it didn’t matter for the alliance with the big family!
What mattered was the joint property relationship between husband and wife under the legal framework, and the offspring born had two bloodlines at the same time!
This was also the reason why the Li family must force Li Ruobing to marry Ding Ruilong, even though they clearly knew Li Ruobing’s resistance!
They clearly knew that even if Li Ruobing really married, she and Ding Ruilong wouldn’t be able to get along! But it’s not a problem!
Because feelings didn’t matter.
The important thing was that once Li Ruobing and Ding Ruilong become a legal couple, the two families would transfer part of the family assets to their names, and at the same time make efforts to make the assets bigger and stronger. Family… was the strongest bond of interest!
Plus, kids too!
As long as a child with two bloodlines is born, this child will grow up in the future and become one of the principals in the family. He himself was a community of interests of the two families! Conversely, it was also a guarantee that the two families would not break easily! Just like… the current Li Ruotai!
His grandfather was the old man of the Li family, and his grandfather was the old man of the Sun family!
Not just him.
Of course Li Ruobing was too.
So the Sun family would exert force on the matter of forced marriage and put pressure on Li Ruobing’s mother, causing Li Ruobing’s mother, who had always been protective of Li Ruobing, to force her in reverse this time!
Because as long as Li Ruobing married to the Ding family and the child was born, it would be of great significance to the Ding family, the Li family, and the Sun family! Whether it was interests or blood relations, they would be connected in series! “Why are you so excited?” Wu Chen looked at Li Maoren who got up and asked him indifferently, and smiled, “You should understand what I want to do by now!”
“You dare to touch Ding Ruilong?!” Li Maoren asked with a black face.
He didn’t think that Wu Chen had the ability to touch Ding Ruilong directly, but once what Wu Chen just said was exposed, it was likely to trigger a scuffle between several big families!
The Li family and the Ding family already formed an alliance, and if the Ding family had a big incident, the Li family could not stay out of it, and even other families may end up getting involved in the future.
“There is no impenetrable wall in the world! And with Ding Ruilong’s personality, as long as someone provokes him and cheats him in private, he may even… may admit it himself!” Wu Chen remained calm and kept smiling, “Even if I don’t do this matter, it is still a ticking time bomb, and it might explode suddenly one day! Uncle, can you touch He Shiqin? Do you dare to tell the Ding family that you know this matter? Is something wrong?”
Li Maoren suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Because it is indeed… he couldn’t say he didn’t dare, but he couldn’t!
Ding Ruilong’s character was really very problematic. If Li Maoren didn’t say anything and touched He Shiqin, it’s hard to say what Ding Ruilong would think.
Dong Yuantao…
It’s like the Li family had a big handle on the Ding family that could pose a great threat to the Ding family!
How will the two sides discuss the issue of benefit distribution in the future?
There would be “inequality” between the two parties, and there would be problems in cooperation and marriage!
The key point of these problems was that the Dong family was on the rise!
The momentum was very fierce!
Compared with the Ding family, Li family, Sun family, Wei family, and Xie family, the Dong family had less heritage.
Dong Yuantao’s grandfather was a few years older than the old man of the Ding family, but the height of the seat he sat in back then was not as high as that of the old man of the Ding family. He was one level behind. The level of Wei Yi’s family.
The one who really led the Dong family to rise strongly was Dong Yuantao’s father, who was currently the No. 1 member of the Dong family – Dong Yaoguang!
Dong Yaoguang was fifty-eight years old this year. He had two sons and a daughter. Dong Yuantao was the youngest son of three!
Fifty-eight years old was not young, but compared to Dong Yaoguang’s current position, he was really not that old. He was now higher than Li Maoren, and he was taking an extremely orthodox promotion route to politics!
Judging from his current rising momentum, he had every chance to go further in the future…
Although, even if he got to the top, the ranking was still very low, and he didn’t have the strength to defeat the Ding family all at once.
But! This was based on the fact that the old man of the Ding family was still alive!
The old man of the Ding family was eighty years old! How many more years could he live? Once he died, many connections would be lost, and then…
It really was a ticking time bomb! The kind with great power!
Once fried! Unless the Ding family did not protect Ding Ruilong, the entire Ding family was in danger! But even if the Ding family did not protect Ding Ruilong, the bond of alliance between the Li family and the Ding family, and the person who forced Li Ruobing to marry, was none other than Ding Ruilong!
The more Li Maoren thought about it, the more important it was!
If what Wu Chen said was true, then the marriage between the Li family and the Ding family…
Would the Li family need to go through this muddy water?
This was Ding Ruilong’s deadly black material that Wu Chen had mastered!
And it was not the only one!
That guy Ding Ruilong had a big problem! Wu Chen just didn’t want to procrastinate and spend too long on this matter, so he chose the most direct and deadly method!
“Uncle, you can choose to remind the Ding family, it doesn’t matter.” Seeing Li Maoren’s face changing, Wu Chen smiled and said, “But I think! This is not a good choice! The Sun family is the biggest ally of your Li family! For the Ding family… It’s only in the past few years that you have cooperated, because Ruobing has never been married, so the cooperation is also very precautious. It can still be changed, right?”
Li Maoren stared at Wu Chen with a serious face and did not speak easily.
He was already guessing who sent Wu Chen to deliberately break up the marriage alliance between the Li family and the Ding family!
“I think the Dong family is a good choice.” Wu Chen smiled again, “Dong Yuantao’s cousin is the youngest daughter of Dong Yaoguang’s younger brother Dong Yaoyang has a daughter Dong Yaqiu, who just graduated from college for a year… I think she is very similar to Atai. A good match!”
Li Maoren felt that what Wu Chen said was a bit funny, as if the arrangement was clear and obvious, but the marriage of big families was not so simple.
Taking a step back, the Li family and the Dong family were not familiar with each other. They didn’t even have the basic trust relationship, then just get married?
“I heard that Dong Yaoguang has an opponent named Qu, and they are competitive, and they were both a stumbling block to promotion for each other,” Wu Chen said with a light smile, “I need to give you some black information about the surname Qu, so that you can help Dong Yaoguang defeat the opponent directly. I think he will be grateful to the Li family! What do you think, uncle?”
Li Maoren’s expression changed dramatically.
