Chapter 682: Let's do it!
After seeing the Huang brothers off, Cheng's children couldn't contain their excitement and started talking.
Cheng Ling, the youngest daughter of the Cheng family, touched her chest, her face filled with disbelief: "My God, the richest man in Asia! The richest man in Asia just came to our house!"
But a hint of doubt appeared on her face: "Why does my fourth brother-in-law's younger brother seem so amiable? He's completely different from the rich people I see outside and in movies and on TV. Shouldn't he be arrogant, walking with a haughty air, and speaking in a very cocky tone?"
Cheng Li, the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, had calmed down from the shock. She glanced at Cheng Ling, curled her lip, and said, "Oh my, little sister, you actually believe what you see in movies and TV shows? Those guys you see in nightclubs and karaoke bars who don't care about money are just nouveau riche. They've only got a few bills in their pockets, and they act like they have the words 'I have money' engraved on their foreheads, as if they're afraid others won't know they have money. Now you know what a real person with money is, right?"
Cheng Yishan, the second son of the Cheng family, echoed Cheng Li's words: "Eldest sister is right. How many ordinary people have the opportunity to meet real tycoons? Those people we usually see, dressed in designer clothes, with gold chains that practically drag on the ground and ten fingers covered in gold rings, are at most nouveau riche. Everyone saw the manner of Erhe's brother just now. He doesn't flaunt his wealth, but he has such an air about him."
At this point, Cheng Yishan scratched his head, momentarily at a loss for words, mainly because he couldn't find the right ones to describe it.
At this moment, Cheng Jie, the third son of the Cheng family, chimed in: "Second brother is right. I've been looking at Erhe's clothes. At first glance, they seem quite ordinary, with no brand names on them. But upon closer inspection, you can tell that the material is absolutely top-quality. It's delicate, crisp, and the drape is amazing! And the workmanship is incredible. The stitches are so even. At first glance, you might think it's machine-sewn, but the cut of the clothes is superb. It's definitely custom-made, and absolutely top-notch handmade. You can't buy it on the market at all. I've always heard that the clothes of the super-rich are custom-made by masters. Now it seems that's true. And did you notice the watch on his wrist? I've led a tour group to Japan and seen this watch in a catalog. It's said that there are only ten watches like that in the world. Wow, I'm not exaggerating when I say that watch could buy several villas in the western suburbs."
Cheng Jie's words gave the Cheng family a deeper understanding of the lifestyle of the wealthy.
At this moment, Cheng's father spoke up. Having accumulated rich life experience and served as a leader for many years, his perspective was naturally unique. He directly avoided the discussion about wealth and raised another point: "You lot are still too young. You're blinded by appearances. Harmony? That depends on who you treat well. He's friendly to us because we're his brother's future in-laws. Don't you think about it? How old is Erhe's younger brother? At his age, he possesses so much wealth and sits on the throne of Asia's richest man. Do you think he earned that through harmony? Or can he maintain it through harmony?"
He then lit a peony and continued his commentary: "As the saying goes, the business world is like a battlefield. If it gets going, it's a fight to the death, okay? Without the means and the guts, you'd be devoured by your opponents long ago, leaving not even bones behind. So, we can't see or imagine the methods that Erhe's brother uses in the business world, but you must remember this: no one who can achieve what he does is simple."
At this moment, Cheng's mother chimed in, "Remember what your father said. Don't think that just because you have a wealthy relative, you've forgotten who you are. Don't try to take advantage of him. He is him, and Erhe is Erhe. Your father and I agreed to Cheng Jing being with Erhe because Erhe is a reliable person who is good at managing a household. He is also very good to Miguo. That's the main reason. You all remember this. Live your lives the way you did before."
Upon hearing Cheng's father's words, all of Cheng's children suddenly realized that it was indeed true. How could someone who could achieve the level of Erhe's younger brother be an ordinary person?
Cheng's mother's words also make a lot of sense. We should focus on living our own lives first, and what belongs to others will always belong to others.
However, there was still one more urgent matter: the box that was causing the whole family so much trouble. So, the six siblings took the box to a bank not far from their home and deposited the money there. As for the gold bars and gold jewelry, they rented a safe at the bank and stored them there. If they kept these things at home, they wouldn't be able to sleep at night, and they wouldn't feel at ease going out.
Two days later, Huang Erhe and Cheng Jing went to the district's civil affairs bureau to get their marriage certificate and became a legal couple.
Upon hearing that Huang Erhe and Cheng Jing had obtained their marriage certificate, Zeng Lijuan was overjoyed and immediately set about arranging a wedding for the two. In her heart, she thought Huang Erhe's wedding with Fan Yingrong back then was terrible! It not only made her furious but also caused her so much suffering. Now she was determined to make amends and show how much she valued Cheng Jing as her daughter-in-law.
After learning of his mother's idea, Huang Erhe quickly declined, saying, "Mom! Let's skip the wedding! Cheng Jing and I have already discussed it. We'll just give out some candy to colleagues and friends, and our two families can have a meal together. It's both of our second marriages, so there's no need for a big celebration that would make people gossip."
How could Zeng Lijuan possibly listen to Huang Erhe? She said with a long face, "In your father's and my eyes, this is your first marriage. I won't mention the past. You know best in your heart."
Huang Erhe certainly knew what his mother meant. It was all because he was blinded by lust back then and didn't know right from wrong, mistaking a scallion for ginseng. Fortunately, that unpleasant marriage was finally over, and he was about to start a new life. He was now a man with both a son and a daughter, because Miguo was already calling him Dad!
Old Huang chimed in from the sidelines, "We're just inviting everyone to have some fun. We're not planning on accepting any gifts. We're treating everyone to good food and drinks. What are people going to say?"
Huang Erhe felt that his parents had really changed a lot. Now they spoke these words so lightly. It was his younger brother who gave them the confidence!
The two elders had spoken to such an extent that if Huang Erhe still didn't know what was good for him, he would have lived in vain. He had no choice but to agree to his parents' suggestion and do it!
Next comes choosing a date and sending out invitations. There's no need to worry about the restaurant; it's just a matter of a word. All that's needed is to free up one of the Hua Hong Hotel's locations.
