Chapter 420 You'll be scared to death

Everyone surrounded Lei Jingwu's mother, wondering if she was swallowing her anger and grievances. Judging from her expression, she probably hadn't known the news much earlier than them!

Who knew that Lei Jingwu's mother leaned back on the sofa.

"Jingqiu, pour your aunt a cup of tea!" Lei Jingwu's mother looked at Lei Jingqiu.

Lei Jingqiu quickly poured a cup of tea and brought it over, and also asked the kitchen to send over a plate of fruit.

Lei Jingwu's mother took two small sips of tea from her cup, then handed the cup to Lei's second aunt beside her before glancing around at the people around her.

"Tell me, what are the requirements for becoming the eldest grandson's wife of the Lei family?" Lei Jingwu's mother asked directly.

"She's capable and can handle all sorts of situations," Aunt Lei said directly.

"Having seen the world, one must be able to handle interpersonal relationships and social interactions perfectly!" said Lei Jingwu's aunt.

“The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother; all the decisions in the family, big and small, are made by her!” Lei Jingqiu said.

"You must know how to educate people, and you must have the demeanor of a matriarch!" Lei's second aunt added.

Lei Jingwu's mother hummed in agreement, then gently straightened the hem of her clothes.

"Responsible, capable, and able to manage the overall situation—that's all there is to it, right?" Lei Jingwu's mother asked.

Everyone nodded.

"Actually, anyone with these abilities is fine, it has nothing to do with whether or not everyone came out, right?" Lei Jingwu's mother continued to ask.

Everyone fell silent.

That's what they say, but only people from privileged backgrounds would have the time or inclination to teach their daughters!

Children from ordinary families... are all thinking about how to survive, how to have enough to eat and wear.

"Sister-in-law, the Lei family is not an ordinary family. We should be more cautious in this matter."

"The eldest grandson's wife of the Lei family must have a certain status..." Aunt Lei's second wife couldn't finish her sentence.

Lei Jingwu's mother glanced at Lei's second aunt and looked her up and down.

Everyone knew what Lei Jingwu's mother meant by that look.

"Marrying someone of equal social standing"... Don't you think about your own status before you say that?! If the Lei family really valued marrying someone of equal social standing, how did you even get into the Lei family in the first place...?

Aunt Lei dared not speak, and could only manage a couple of dry laughs.

Lei Jingwu's mother sighed softly.

"You're oversimplifying things. Would Jingwu just marry any girl? No way! He knows his place and what kind of eldest granddaughter-in-law the Lei family needs."

As Grandpa Lei once said, the Lei family may look glamorous, but in reality... the Lei family needs someone who can support it.

It's not just the men of the Lei family who need to be successful; the women of the Lei family also need to shoulder their responsibilities.

But what about the Lei family now?

Think about it carefully, isn't most of the Lei family now resting on their laurels and living off their past achievements?

The Lei family needs someone who can break this deadlock, and not only break it, but also rebuild the Lei family.

"Don't you think so?" Lei Jingwu's mother looked around at the people around her.

Everyone fell silent.

That's true, but the older generation worked so hard so that the younger generation wouldn't have to work so hard, right?

As for the rest... who wouldn't want to relax?

"Jingwu took a liking to Yao Shula because Yao Shula was a perfect fit and very capable."

Think about it, Yao Shula has everything: a sense of responsibility, ability, and the ability to educate children.

Yao Shula raised her younger siblings, so she must have a strong sense of responsibility. Just look at how well she has raised them.

My younger sister is now a PhD student in the US, thanks to her own abilities.

As for my younger brother, although he graduated from a finance school, I heard from Changqin's mother that the Gu family's grandfather thinks highly of that child.

Is the old man of the Gu family incompetent at judging people? Anyone who can make him say that must have extraordinary abilities!

Take another look at Xiaotian.

Who among you can manage Xiaotian? But she can!

Aside from the old man, Xiao Tiantian only listens to her.

Now tell me, does she even deserve to be the eldest grandson's wife of the Lei family? Besides, you're only thinking about whether she's worthy or not, but you don't even consider whether she wants to be one!

"We may be having a lively discussion here, but they might not even be interested in the Lei family!" Lei Jingwu's mother said calmly.

The Lei family didn't believe it.

Are there people who look down on the Lei family?

Unless that person is a celestial being! Or someone with a background and wealth even greater than the Lei family.

otherwise……

"Sister-in-law, what are you joking about! Someone like Yao Shula... doesn't even look down on our Lei family? How could that be!" Lei's second aunt was the first to object.

“That’s right! Sister-in-law, Jingwu is good-looking, and the Lei family has connections in Shanghai. How could they possibly look down on our Jingwu?” Lei’s second aunt shook her head with a smile.

This sister-in-law is being a bit unreasonable. How could Yao Shula, an orphan, dare to look down on the Lei family?

Finding someone like Lei Jingwu is already a blessing from their ancestors!

"Sister-in-law, I think you're overthinking it. If Yao Shula were to marry into our Lei family, we'd be overjoyed!"

"How could she look down on the Lei family? Absolutely not! She's either someone who's never seen the world and doesn't know how powerful the Lei family's connections are!" Lei's third aunt chimed in.

The younger generation all wore expressions of disbelief.

In their eyes, their eldest brother was a role model who could succeed at anything.

Although my eldest brother didn't go into politics and chose to go into business, he was able to expand his business to Russia back in the 1980s...

They all admired his courage and vision!

Who would look down on the eldest brother? Do they know that among the families that are on good terms with the Lei family, apart from the Gu family, all the other families are thinking of marrying their daughters into the family?

Seeing that everyone looked at her as if she were joking, Lei Jingwu's mother wasn't worried.

She slowly picked up the cup, drank the remaining half of the tea, and then spoke in a leisurely manner.

"The stock market was doing well last year. Did you know about the super female tycoon in the Shanghai Stock Exchange?"

Everyone was stunned.

Weren't we talking about Lei Jingwu's future wife? How did we suddenly start talking about the Shanghai Stock Exchange?

"I know! Didn't they say that person is related to the Gu family?"

"It's alright! I've asked the Gu family, and that person has no connection to the Gu family. It's just rumors spread by outsiders."

"That super female tycoon, I know her. I heard she's a master of the Shanghai stock market, unparalleled and surpassing everyone else."

"Hmm, I heard he's really rich, he made a lot of money in just one year! But what does this have to do with Keigo's wife?"

Lei Jingwu's mother chuckled.

"That account... belongs to Yao Shula! Yao Shula is the super-rich female financier everyone's talking about!"

Everyone in the Lei family...
