Chapter 575 Kneel Down and Serve Tea
```
"A marriage for luck?"
"Has a girlfriend?"
"Kick him out of the Du Family!"
Despite the noisy wedding scene, Qin Yu had excellent hearing and easily picked out a few keywords from the conversations of the guests.
He instantly understood what the Du Family was up to.
Clearly looking down on his sister who came from a rural background and not valuing his family at all, yet they were eager to have his sister marry into their family.
It was simple, the most prestigious and respected Divine Doctor of their clan was gravely ill, and his sister's birth date and time were considered very auspicious, suitable for bringing luck to the Divine Doctor.
Then, by pleasing the Divine Doctor, a portion of his fortune would be allocated to Du Zhiheng's family.
That's a damn good strategy!
Humph...
Just as Qin Yu was about to react, the guests began to whisper among themselves again:
"Things have been really lively these past couple of days. Today, the Divine Doctor seeks marital luck, and tomorrow night is the banquet of the newly appointed Dragon Gate Leader!"
"Have you all received your invitations? Damn, I've called in so many favors and still couldn't get one, can you sell me a ticket?"
"No way, no way, the status of Dragon Gate's leader is completely on par with, or even surpasses, some city nobility. Who wouldn't want to attend his party and curry favor?"
"Do you guys think the Dragon Gate Leader is a male or female? What do they like? It's all so secretive, not a single bit of information has been released, we don't even know how to start pleasing him!"
"Hmm..."
After listening to the guests' conversations, Qin Yu stroked his chin and suppressed his anger. Since his own official inauguration party was tomorrow night, and Du Zhiheng's family had also received an invitation, they would definitely attend.
Why not let the bullet fly a little longer and give them a surprise tomorrow night?
As for the Divine Doctor, his condition was worsening, and he was in a daze, worried about his own health. But being old and cunning, he actually managed to hold back from rushing Qin Yu.
He knew that people with real talent were generally quite proud, and if they promised to perform acupuncture, they definitely wouldn't stand him up. Pressuring them might backfire instead.
After a few more minutes of singing and dancing by two Taoist priests, the Divine Doctor, half-dozing, was wheeled away by two disciples. With nearly a hundred guests at the scene, he really didn't notice Qin Yu was there.
He would never have imagined, either, that Du Zhiheng's wife, brought into the family for his good luck, would be Qin Yu's beloved sister.
"Elder Uncle, the birth date and time of the bride that Zhiheng is marrying are exactly the same as predicted by 'Half-Immortal Huang' from the city's southern district. With today's boost of luck from her, you're sure to live a long and healthy life!"
No sooner had the Divine Doctor come down than Du Yuan hurried up to him with a bow, eager to take credit.
The Du Family's success in the pharmaceutical industry entirely depended on the Divine Doctor's fame and the prescriptions he provided, so the Du Family's assets were basically all in his hands.
Apart from the Divine Doctor himself, there were three brothers, two sisters, and nearly all of them relied on him for their livelihood. In addition to nephews and grandnephews, the Du Family, with its dozens of members, no one didn't want to curry favor with him, to gain more benefits.
Last month, before the Divine Doctor knew Qin Yu, he had visited the well-known "Half-Immortal" in the southern district to have his fortune told. He needed to find a woman with an exceptionally auspicious birth date and time, marry her into the Du Family to bring him luck, which was said to ward off misfortune and extend his life.
The Du Family, having only Du Zhiheng who was unmarried, took the opportunity when he met Qin Wei'er shopping abroad. She was having her fortune told and revealed her birth date and time; Du Zhiheng, understanding its significance, immediately began a vigorous pursuit of Qin Wei'er with the sole purpose of marrying her and bringing good luck to the Divine Doctor "Grand Uncle."
"Du Yuan, your family really has put in the effort. Rest assured, I won't shortchange your family. Alright, I'm tired, send me back to rest!"
The Divine Doctor spoke indifferently, and his two disciples pushed him away from the villa.
"We invite the bride and groom's parents to the stage!"
Meanwhile, the wedding emcee continued with the proceedings.
"Dad, Auntie..."
Qin Wei'er called out to the crowd.
"Xiaoyu, then we'll go up!"
```
Qin Jianjun pulled Zhou Cuiping onto the stage.
Having received a promise from the Divine Doctor, Du Yuan also beamed with joy as he led his wife onto the stage.
"Offer tea to your future father-in-law and mother-in-law, and start calling them Dad and Mom!"
After Du Yuan and Qin Jianjun had taken their seats, the emcee spoke loudly.
Soon, the etiquette hostess brought over four cups of tea.
"Mom!"
Qin Wei'er, bending at the waist, offered a cup of tea with both hands to Zhou Rong.
"Kneel to offer the tea! You haven't officially joined the family yet, do you understand the rules?"
Seeing that Qin Wei'er was standing, Zhou Rong immediately frowned and spoke.
The joy-dispelling ceremony had ended, and the Du Family had gotten what they wanted; there was no longer a need to cajole Qin Wei'er. Naturally, their true haughty demeanor was revealed.
To them, a Cinderella from the countryside marrying into the Du Family was nothing short of a sparrow turning into a phoenix. If they didn't put her in her place now, wouldn't she end up stepping all over their heads in the future?
"This..."
Qin Wei'er displayed a hint of resistance.
In her life, she had only ever kneeled before her parents. If Zhou Rong had been kinder in her tone, perhaps Qin Wei'er might have knelt before her mother-in-law. But the contemptuous look on Zhou Rong's face, completely unlike before, made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Wei'er, kneel down to your Mom!"
Zhiheng came next to Qin Wei'er and commanded her in a stern and authoritative tone.
According to the original plan, they were to confront Qin Wei'er after the joy-dispelling ceremony, telling her to leave the Du Family and return to where she came from.
However, upon seeing her in a wedding dress, Zhiheng felt a stir of emotion and abruptly changed the plan. He decided to proceed with the wedding and confront her after spending the night with her.
Naturally, he was running out of patience with Qin Wei'er at this point. The only thing about her that still appealed to him was her tender, sensual body.
If he wanted to play with her, could a Cinderella from the countryside possibly escape his grasp?
"Alright, that's fine. However..."
Qin Wei'er was still very clever. Arguing with her "mother-in-law" at this time would only make her seem ill-mannered. In a flash of inspiration, she turned to Zhiheng and said, "I want to offer tea to my Dad first, after all, he's the one who raised me!"
"What do you mean?"
Zhiheng furrowed his brows and asked with displeasure.
"My dad is also your dad. As long as you kneel and offer tea to my dad, I can also offer tea to your parents!"
Qin Wei'er spoke indifferently.
"You..."
Zhiheng's eyelid twitched. If it weren't for the many onlookers below the stage, he would have slapped Qin Wei'er in the face to teach her a lesson about the Du Family's rules.
As the heir to a wealthy family, how could he possibly kneel to a rural old man?
But considering how pretty Qin Wei'er was, and that he hadn't had his way with her yet, it wouldn't be worth it to fall out with her now. In the end, he said grudgingly, "Fine, let's end the wedding here. I'm hungry, let's go eat!"
"The wedding ceremony has concluded, best wishes to the bride and groom!"
Seeing that the bride and groom seemed to have a disagreement, the wedding emcee quickly concluded the ceremony.
"Hmph..."
Zhiheng ignored Qin Wei'er and went to the table with friends and relatives, took a glass of wine, and gulped it down.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye at Qin Wei'er's proud and white chest, already fantasizing about the various positions in which he would ravish her.
