"Hmph, you think you're in the right when you earn less?
There are so many people here. I don't want to embarrass you. I'll deal with you when we get back. "
Mother-in-law glared at him and said angrily. Just now in the car, she was scolded by her sister-in-law. In the end, her father-in-law talked back to her. She had lost all her face. No wonder she was angry.
I could tell that father-in-law didn't like her snobbish attitude. But deep down, he was a henpecked husband. He could only bury his head in the food. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Auntie, don't say that. Uncle's character is more stable. Money is just a tool for spending. It can't be used to measure anything," Ah Feng's business partner said.
"Yes, Chief Zhou is right," Mother-in-law nodded.
"I forgot to mention that Chief Zhou is still single. Although he has many girls around him, he can't find a suitable one," Ah Feng shook his head.
Chief Zhou smiled. "Sorry for making a fool of myself." I noticed that he was looking at his sister-in-law.
The mother-in-law also noticed this. "Aiya, what a coincidence. My daughter is also single. Do you think it's a good idea?"
"Auntie, this beauty is totally my type."
Chief Zhou beamed with joy. He ordered a bottle of Maotai and added a few dishes. Then, he asked to pay the bill.
Her mother-in-law was overjoyed. She was not stupid. This was clearly a fair and graceful lady, a gentleman's desire. It seemed that Li Jing was a little unhappy, but she did not expose her sister-in-law's marriage. This was not strange. She had money, so she was afraid of being surpassed by her relatives and friends.
"Chief Zhou, what do you do?" Mother-in-law asked with a smile.
"Auntie, don't call me Chief Zhou. It's too distant. Just call me Xiao Zhou. I'm in Yuncheng. I'm mainly in the construction industry. Wanda and Country Garden have cooperated with my company before." Chief Zhou waved his hand. He looked humble, but he was actually showing off his ability.
"Wow, those are all famous companies. You can earn a lot of money in a year!" Mother-in-law couldn't hide her excitement.
"It's alright. I'm a businessman with a conscience. I don't take a single cent less from my workers. It's about one million and eight hundred thousand a year. Anyway, I won't starve to death," Chief Zhou said cheerfully.
"A million and eight hundred thousand!
My husband only earns tens of thousands of yuan a year, and you're still so young. Your future achievements are practically limitless!
Xiao Zhou, if you like my daughter, just give me your WeChat number. Young people should interact more. Sooner or later, they will fall in love with each other. "His mother-in-law was even more enthusiastic.
It was supposed to be a family gathering, but it turned out to be a money-grubber. Her sister-in-law could not bear to watch her mother-in-law's eagerness. She said unhappily, "Mom, can you be more normal? Even I feel ashamed for you."
"Uh …" The mother-in-law looked embarrassed. Instead, it was President Zhou who spoke up for her. "Pretty lady, your mother has good intentions. Nowadays, high-quality leftover women are everywhere. As the saying goes, youth doesn't last forever. You should seize the chance to fall in love. Don't let go of your youth just because you're better off. When you're older, it'll be too late for regrets."
"Yes, isn't that so?
As an elder, it's useless no matter how much I worry about her. She doesn't care, but look at me. My hair has turned white from worry. "The mother-in-law let out a long sigh and said gloomily.
"Mom, aren't you annoying? I'm already a married woman, and you're still trying to arrange a blind date?"
His sister-in-law's words were shocking. Not only Li Jing and my father-in-law, but even I was stunned. This kind of thing was a stain on a woman's life. It didn't matter if a man got divorced because it proved that he was romantic enough. But women were different.
I never thought that my sister-in-law would take the initiative to bring it up. Just now, I was still thinking if I should interrupt, but I felt that it wouldn't be appropriate. If I were to expose the truth, with my mother-in-law's temper, she might force her to have an abortion. If they had a falling out, my sister-in-law might be like Liu Jie and cut off all ties with her parents. To be honest, I didn't want to see that happen.
Thus, I kept quiet. As long as my sister-in-law didn't get hurt, I would try my best not to embarrass her. I already owed her too much. Since my sister-in-law wanted to keep it a secret, she must have her own considerations. I couldn't let her fall into an unjust place because of a moment of impulse.
This Li Jing didn't seem like someone who was easy to deal with. She might even slander my sister-in-law and call her a slut.
The private room was silent. Chief Zhou was startled and frowned. My mother-in-law was getting anxious. "Aiya, Xiao Mei, why are you doing this? If you don't want to go on a blind date, you don't have to slander yourself. Mom knows that relationships can't be rushed, but Xiao Zhou is such a good man. He's young and handsome. Which part of him isn't good enough for you? It's not that I want to nag you, but if you continue to be so picky, you'll be picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons in the future."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. My mother-in-law's acting skills were top-notch. After a while, I greeted her and she dragged my sister-in-law out. Although they were far away, I heard everything. My mother-in-law was quite persistent. She coaxed and pestered my sister-in-law. First, she threatened her not to mention her previous marriage, or else she would cut off all ties with her mother. Then, she started to complain about her grievances at home. She didn't ask my sister-in-law to accept Chief Zhou, but at least give him some face.
My sister-in-law had a soft heart and could only agree. Not long after, they returned to the private room. My mother-in-law's eyes were red and she looked quite haggard.
Give yourself and me a chance. Maybe we'll like each other. By the way, I've decided to develop in Yuncheng in the future. I'm going to buy a commercial house later. Auntie, you guys can come with me and help me with some suggestions. Anyway, it's still early. I'll take you to a good place for dinner in the evening and then go shopping or something. This is a five-star hotel. The western food is not bad, but the Chinese food is not good enough. I'm afraid you won't like it. "
I had to admit that Chief Zhou was very cunning. As the saying goes, 'cater to one's preferences'. He managed to coax my sister-in-law's parents into submission. Even if my father-in-law wasn't a snob, he still liked him a little.
However, I felt that he was very hypocritical and purposely wanted to show off. After dinner, Li Jing and her husband shared a car. We sat in Chief Zhou's car. I purposely took a look. He was driving an Audi Q5. I took out my phone and searched for it. This car was around three to four hundred thousand. It was indeed quite successful, but it wasn't something worth bragging about.
"Beauty, you should know about Fragrant Hill Lakeside, right? Hehe, that place isn't bad. I've inspected it before, and the layout is good. Whether it's for investment or for living, it's a good choice. How much area do you think we should buy?" Chief Zhou asked enthusiastically.
