The host introduced Zhou Yuansheng's family assets, his parents' love story, and how outstanding he himself has been since childhood.
Xu Huaiyuan almost had a heart attack as well.
Isn't this the guy who's been seeing Jiang Tong? He said he looked familiar but couldn't quite place him. How could such a wealthy young master like Jiang Tong?
But why is it impossible?
Xu Huaiyuan lay on the sofa in a daze, suddenly realizing that he was completely powerless to fight against anyone.
What does he have to compare with Zhou Yuansheng?
There's simply no comparison.
But it must be said that the mother and son have similar thought processes to some extent.
Xu Huaiyuan immediately suspected that Zhou Yuansheng's proposal was not to Jiang Tong, because he also felt that people from such a family probably wouldn't propose to Jiang Tong.
It's just something I'm playing around with at most.
He then took out his phone and checked, and found that someone had taken a photo of Jiang Tong getting out of a car with three children and being escorted into a hotel by a group of people.
Xu Huaiyuan looked at the photo where the face was blurred, but he could still recognize Jiang Tong's figure and her two daughters, so he stared at the photo intently.
My hands were shaking uncontrollably.
He felt his face burning, as if all the harsh words he had said before and after the divorce from Jiang Tong had turned into slaps on his face.
Just then, her mother-in-law came out wearing a face mask and, watching the entertainment news on TV, said, "This child is really amazing. Not only are her parents from a good family, but she's also very capable herself. She's won so many awards, started an entertainment company, and hasn't had any scandals. She earns so much money in a year!"
Ke's mother immediately became interested and went to sit down on the other sofa to start reading.
Upon seeing this pretty-boy son-in-law, she deliberately started to stir up trouble again, speaking in a sarcastic tone, "Huaiyuan! Look at other people. They have such good family backgrounds and they still work so hard. Your family is so ordinary, why don't you put in more effort? I don't expect you to be as good as this young master from the Zhou family. You can't compare to him anyway. I just hope you can work half as hard as him."
Ke's mother told Xu Huaiyuan to work hard with their distant relatives and stop wandering around all day.
When Ke's mother arrived, Xu Huaiyuan tried his best to adjust his emotions, put away his messy thoughts, and regain his elegant demeanor.
Hearing his mother's sarcastic remarks, he smiled good-naturedly and said, "Yes, Mom is right. A man should strive to make his wife, children, and family live a good life."
This remark pleased Ke's mother, who immediately pointed at Xu Huaiyuan and said, "Hey, that's a good point. You have to work hard. You have to be good at business outside and good at being a husband at home. Rou Rou is our only daughter, so you can't bully her. You have to cherish her."
Ke Rou, who was just then supporting her lower back, walked out of the living room with a smile. "Mom, what are you two talking about? You seem to be having a great time."
Xu Huaiyuan immediately turned off his phone screen, then went over and helped Ke Rou to sit down on the sofa. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. Mom loves you. She's just giving me a pep talk so I can treat you well for the rest of my life and cherish you."
Ke Rou was still young, and she laughed when she heard these sweet words. She happily said in a coquettish tone, "Of course, if you're not good to me, who else would you be good to?"
However, Xu Huaiyuan has indeed been spoiling her more lately, and he does everything he can to please her.
Ke Rou had a rare moment of conscience and realized she had done some things recently, so she smiled and said to her mother, "Mom, don't put so much pressure on Huaiyuan. He's been very good to me. He's been running between the company and home lately, and he's been quite tired."
Her smile was quite sweet.
Seeing this, Madam Ke felt that it was the effect of her constant reminders, but she still smiled and said, "Men can't be spoiled. Huaiyuan is good, but you have to remind him often, otherwise he will easily go astray. Besides, it is only natural for men to love women, and there are plenty of others like that."
Xu Huaiyuan was just so-so.
Her family background was so-so, and she had been divorced. Her only redeeming quality was her appearance. Initially, Ke's mother and Ke Rou's father did not approve of her marriage, as it was their daughter's first marriage.
If it weren't for the fact that their daughter was bewitched and insisted on marrying Xu Huaiyuan, and that Ke Rou's personality was indeed very delicate and demanding, which few men could tolerate, and that Xu Huaiyuan seemed to have a gentle and easy-going personality, they, as parents, would not have agreed.
Now that they're married, the son-in-law seems obedient and compliant.
Only then was Ke's mother barely satisfied.
But she wouldn't praise Xu Huaiyuan directly. Instead, she pointed to the wealthy young men on TV and showed them to her daughter, "Look at them, with their family background and looks, they spoil the people they love so much, they even spent hundreds of millions to propose and made the news!"
Ke Rou, still a young girl at heart, was incredibly envious upon hearing this and immediately started looking at it seriously. "Really? This is so romantic!"
Spend hundreds of millions to propose?
Ke Rou also took out her phone to catch up on the gossip. After looking around, she saw that the proposal had made it to the top of more than a dozen trending topics, including drones, luxury hotels, and a whole night of exorbitantly priced fireworks. She was filled with envy.
I was constantly amazed.
Finally, she complained to Xu Huaiyuan, "Look at them! Although your proposal was romantic, it wasn't as creative as theirs. They had a drone show! And some of the fireworks were styles I'd never seen before, they were so beautiful!"
Xu Huaiyuan was on tenterhooks. When he saw Ke Rou looking up gossip about the marriage proposal on her phone, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He was afraid that Ke Rou would find out that the woman in the news was his ex-wife. Fortunately, Ke Rou was not familiar with Jiang Tong.
So she didn't recognize her either.
She didn't really think about it that way. Ordinary people would never even imagine being associated with such a wealthy and powerful family, so Ke Rou naturally wouldn't think about it either.
She knew that Xu Huaiyuan didn't have the financial means to spend money like other wealthy people, and their marriage was a whirlwind romance, but she still wanted to act cute.
Test Xu Huaiyuan.
Or perhaps she just wants to hear him say something nice to comfort her; that's exactly what she wants.
Xu Huaiyuan understood the young girl's psychology perfectly. After Ke Rou realized that the woman in the news was his ex-wife, he immediately tried to coax her, "Once I've done a good job on this deal and made some money, I'll definitely give you an even bigger one, making you the envy of the whole world."
He was also adept at sweet talk, but Ke Rou was so dramatic every day that he was almost sick of it and found it sickeningly sweet, but he could only coax her.
Xu Huaiyuan couldn't describe his current feelings. On one hand, there was his new wife who was being incredibly demanding, and on the other hand, there was his ex-wife who had slapped him in the face and married a better man. Right now, he only felt bitterness in his mouth and heart.
Seeing that the young couple seemed to have a good relationship, Mrs. Ke smiled with satisfaction.
Ke Rou also smiled sweetly.
After Xu Huaiyuan finished his work, they were finally able to have their New Year's Eve dinner.
But only Ke Rou's family of three were happy. Xu Huaiyuan found everything bitter and could only wear a mask and continue to pretend to be very happy.
