Isn't Chapter 776 strange?
“Yes, I don’t mind.” Zhou Hui smiled and pursed her lips. “I work at a magazine now, and I was just promoted to editor-in-chief a few days ago.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Ye and said, "Wang Ye's hot pot restaurant is quite close to our magazine office."
"Really? That's such a coincidence!"
He Fen then asked, "So, do you live alone now? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Wang Ye felt that He Fen was going too far with her questions.
What does it matter to her whether someone has a boyfriend or not?
Zhou Hui pursed her lips shyly, "Auntie, I'm single now. I bought an apartment in Furui Jiayuan last year and live there by myself."
Furui Jiayuan?
Wang Ye was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Zhou Hui to be so wealthy, having bought a house at such a young age, and in such a prime location as Furui Jiayuan.
He Fen's eyes lit up when she heard the words "Furui Jiayuan". "Wow! Huihui, I didn't expect you to be so amazing. I heard that the houses in that area are very expensive and the location is good. Many people have gone there to buy houses in the past two years."
“I was lucky to have caught a good time. When I bought the house, their properties weren’t as expensive as they are now, and the down payment was very low.”
"That's amazing! Look at you, the same age as Xiaoye, you not only own a house but also your own car. How many girls can be as capable as you? Your parents are so lucky to have such a beautiful and capable daughter!"
He Fen showered Zhou Hui with compliments, making Zhou Hui blush.
Wang Ye couldn't stand it anymore. After finishing his bowl of rice, he got up to leave. "Mom, you guys take your time eating. I'm busy at the shop, so I'm leaving now."
But He Fen stopped her, saying, "Where are you going? Huihui hasn't finished eating yet. Sit down! Wait until Huihui finishes eating before you leave!"
"Mom, something really has happened at my shop!"
"Put things aside if you have something to do. I've never seen you in such a hurry before. What, is it so hard to get you to eat a meal at home now? Then don't eat at home anymore, and I'll pretend I don't have a son like you!"
"Why are you being so unreasonable!" Wang Ye didn't know what to say.
He didn't say he didn't want to eat at home, but what's with today's meal?
baffling!
He Fen didn't care about Wang Ye's feelings at all and continued chatting with Zhou Hui.
Zhou Hui remained polite and poised throughout, answering He Fen's questions verbally.
He Fen became happier and happier as they chatted, and the topic gradually shifted from Zhou Hui to Wang Ye.
“Auntie, you are very lucky. Look at Wang Ye, he not only has his own career, but also a happy family. This is all thanks to your excellent guidance.”
He Fen glanced at Wang Ye and snorted, "What's the point of teaching him? He has his own ideas now, he's all grown up, he won't listen to anything I say, he doesn't even respect me as his mother anymore!"
Scolding Wang Ye in front of outsiders was somewhat embarrassing for him.
Wang Ye frowned and said, "Mom, could you please say less?"
Zhou Hui came to his rescue, saying, "Auntie, many young people these days don't listen to their parents, but Wang Ye is already considered very good. At least he has a job and has started a family. Some men his age don't even have a job."
“What kind of family does he have? I’ve never acknowledged her as our Wang family’s daughter-in-law. She’s never home because of work, and she was involved in some shady dealings with other men. Who knows if she was using work as a cover for doing something shameful? I have no face to acknowledge a daughter-in-law like that!”
"Mom!" Wang Ye slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and shouted angrily, "If you came back just to say these things to me, then I'm never coming back to this house again!"
"Am I wrong? If you don't want to hear this, then go ahead and have a child with her. Once you have a child, I promise I'll acknowledge her as my daughter-in-law!"
Wang Ye was so angry he had a headache, but in front of Zhou Hui, he didn't want to make things too awkward, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "You're just being unreasonable!"
He pushed the chair away and left despite He Fen's attempts to stop him.
Zhou Hui looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
He Fen belatedly realized that she should apologize to Zhou Hui, "Huihui, that's just how Xiao Ye is. When he gets stubborn, he doesn't even respect me. He's not usually like this, so please don't take offense."
Zhou Hui said, “Every family has its own problems, and conflicts are inevitable. I used to argue with my parents about various things, but I understand that you must have said those things for Wang Ye’s own good.”
These words struck a chord with He Fen. She grasped Zhou Hui's hand, feeling immensely gratified. "You're so sensible. If Xiao Ye were half as obedient as you, he wouldn't be irritating me all the time!"
Wang Ye stormed back to the store.
After Bai Yi dropped Linlin off at school, he stayed at the store.
It wasn't peak time yet, and there weren't many customers at the tables. Bai Yi took a moment to glance at the restaurant's recent revenue.
She was doing accounting on her calculator when she saw Wang Ye return, and he looked very unwell.
He didn't know what came over him, but as soon as he entered the room, he picked up the water in the glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Bai put down what he was doing and came over. "What's wrong? Didn't you go home to entertain guests? Why do you look so pale?"
Wang Ye didn't know how to explain it to Bai Yi.
But Bai Yi had already guessed it: "Did you fight with your mom again?"
"It wasn't really an argument," Wang Ye said in a muffled voice, "it's just that I realized I really can't communicate with her."
Bai Yi knew without a doubt that it was because of what happened yesterday.
"So, she called you back to talk about the child?"
Wang Ye noticed that Bai Yi's tone was a bit off, and quickly realized what was wrong. He explained, "No, I don't know what got into her today. She invited a relative she has absolutely no connection with to our house and insisted that I go back. I really don't understand what she's trying to do anymore!"
Bai Yi asked in confusion, "Relatives?"
"Yes, I don't think we're even relatives. She's just my cousin's sister-in-law. The thing is, my cousin isn't even my uncle's biological son. And my uncle is even less of a relative; he's my third uncle's son."
Wang Ye still remembers that the reason he went to his cousin's wedding was because his family was all in their hometown, so even though they hadn't been in contact before, they had received an invitation.
When He Fen went to the banquet, she didn't even take any money as a gift, but she insisted on dragging him along, saying that they were family and there was no need for money.
Wang Ye had never been so humiliated in his life. In the end, he couldn't bear his conscience and secretly slipped his cousin two hundred yuan as a token of his gratitude.
As Wang Ye spoke, he started to complain, "I really don't know what to say about my mom. I've never seen her be very enthusiastic towards our relatives. Now she's actually inviting someone who's not even a relative to our house for dinner. Isn't that strange?"
