Chapter 417 What's wrong? Aren't you happy?

"Really? We don't need to prepare anything?" Yao Shula felt that the proper etiquette should still be observed.

Lei Jingwu shook his head.

"Really, there's no need. I'll prepare everything I need to. It's just a formality, a family dinner. With Grandpa and Mom here, no one will dare to cause any trouble."

You just need to smile and talk to my grandpa and my mom.

As for the others... it depends on your mood. If you're in a good mood, you can talk to them for a bit; if you're in a bad mood, just ignore them.

"Anyway, you'll be the head of the household from now on, so they'll only have the duty to fawn over you," Lei Jingwu said with a smile.

Yao Shula...

Lei Jingwu chuckled; it was something Yao Shula didn't need to worry about anyway.

The hardest thing about dating Yao Shula is actually how to start a relationship with her; everything else... is a minor matter.

However, even for small things, Lei Jingwu strives to do his best!

"We're having a family dinner in a week! I'll pick you up then, just dress a little more formally."

"Oh, my mom will be back early. I've already taken care of things on her end, no problem!" Lei Jingwu reassured Yao Shula.

Yao Shula responded with an "oh".

Oh, I see! It seems I really don't need to worry too much. I should just focus on running the shop and preparing for Shuli's internship in Hong Kong!

...

At the Lei family mansion, during a rare weekend family dinner, after having dinner with everyone, Old Master Lei took Tiantian to his study.

Everyone stood up, their faces beaming, and watched as Grandpa Lei led Tian Tian to the study.

All these years later, the old man's love for Tiantian has not diminished. Tiantian is still the apple of the old man's eye!

The others were sitting in the living room, talking about recent events.

Lei Jingwu sat among them, listening to what they were saying.

Lei Jingwu got bored after listening to it for a while.

They're all just gossip about the Zhang family and the Li family. Whose child got into which company? It must be the father-in-law's doing. Otherwise, how could such a good company have gotten to that child?

Lei Jingwu chuckled inwardly.

Yes, other people's children get into good companies because they have connections. It can't be that the children are outstanding and get in on their own merits. Everyone thinks that everyone is like the Lei family, where a good job is just a matter of making a phone call or a word.

So-and-so's child got engaged to so-and-so's child. I heard that the boy had a girlfriend he had been dating for four years in college, but due to his family's interference, he decided to give up his girlfriend and get engaged instead, as his family had arranged.

Lei Jingwu chuckled inwardly. Isn't this just a modern-day Chen Shimei? If a man like this can betray you once, he'll betray you countless times in the future. I really don't know why any girl would fall for a boy like this. If she's blind, she should get treatment!

It's always better to be alone, to consistently like someone, that's the only way to feel safe!

Yao Shula should really hear these things, so that she will realize how good she is!

Lei Jingwu continued listening to everyone talk.

They started talking about whose child had gone into business.

"It's the second son of the Yu family that you all know. He resigned from the school and stopped being a teacher. He opened an English training school outside."

It specializes in teaching English and has even hired many foreigners as teachers!

They're making a lot of money!

"Yes, yes, I know too. At first, Lao Yu was furious. He thought he was unfilial, saying that the job was arranged by his family and he didn't want it anymore."

Old Yu even said he was going to kick him out!

Now things are great, Lao Yu is as happy as if he'd eaten bee droppings every day.

And that smile! He always grins, showing off his big, white teeth!

"Yes, before the New Year, Lao Yu's second son bought a car, a small car like the Jingwu. When Lao Yu and his wife came back for the New Year, they stood at the gate waiting for them!"

Oh, and I also bought Lao Yu a foreign watch and Lao Yu's wife a gold necklace.

Now, Mr. and Mrs. Yu no longer call their second son an unfilial son; in fact, he has surpassed their eldest son to become the most successful child in the Yu family.

"That's how it is now, people laugh at poverty but not prostitution! Whoever can make money is considered capable."

But that's normal! The country is focusing heavily on economic development, and everything revolves around it, so it's understandable that everyone is looking to make money.

"Our family is fine, we just do what we're supposed to do! But Jingwu has a good eye, he started doing business a long time ago, his vision is really far-sighted!"

"Keigo, you're amazing!"

Everyone immediately started praising Lei Jingwu.

Lei Jingwu chuckled inwardly twice.

They didn't say that when I first started my business!

Although she dared not say anything to his face, she often muttered about herself behind his back.

They say they're not like members of the Lei family anymore, and are even thinking about doing business. This is simply going against the grain! How can this be worthy of the love that Old Master Lei has always shown Lei Jingwu?

Now……

It also shows that he has great vision and a long-term perspective!

These people... really should be dealt with by Yao Shula!

Lei Jingwu couldn't wait for Yao Shula to marry into the family, so that she could make them all look too ashamed to show their faces.

"Jingwu, you haven't been busy lately, have you? Has the business settled down and you don't need to keep an eye on it every day anymore?" Lei Jingwu's second aunt wanted Lei Jingwu to speak.

Lei Jingwu, who had been lost in thought, finally snapped back to reality.

"Oh? Company matters? Everything's fine, someone's keeping an eye on things!" Lei Jingwu chuckled.

"Jingwu is so promising and filial. Even with all his busy schedule, he doesn't forget to come back and have a family dinner with the old man. Jingwu, are you not used to having such a busy big boss like you listening to us talk about these mundane family matters?" Lei Jingwu's second aunt continued with a smile.

Everyone echoed this sentiment twice.

Lei Jingwu is now the highest earner in the family and runs such a big company; he's not the kid he used to be!

Lei Jingwu immediately smiled.

"Fortunately, I happen to have something to tell everyone."

"Next week, which is also Saturday, I'm bringing my girlfriend back for dinner so everyone can meet her!" Lei Jingwu said slowly.

The Lei family members, who had originally intended to say a few more kind words...

What did they hear... Lei Jingwu is bringing his girlfriend home? When did Lei Jingwu get a girlfriend? How come they didn't hear a thing?!

Aunt Lei was completely dumbfounded.

Lei Jingwu has a girlfriend?

"Keigo...why is this so sudden? Before..."

"What? What's with all those expressions? Are you all so surprised? Shouldn't you be happy for me?"

"Alright, I've notified everyone. Come on over! I have something to do, so I'll be going now!" Lei Jingwu said, then got up and left.

The Lei family members stared at each other in the living room!
