Chapter 112 Shopping 2
Sun Yurong's face turned extremely ugly; she hadn't been this humiliated in years.
Not to mention that his former stepson and his wife were standing right next to him, and they had just bought clothes and bags worth four or five million yuan without even blinking.
When it came to her, she was short of money.
Is there anything more shameful than this?
Doesn't this blatantly tell them that she's living a miserable life after the divorce?
This is something I shouldn't think about; the more I think about it, the more embarrassing it becomes.
Ignoring the man beside her, she grabbed the card from the clerk's hand, said nothing, her face flushed, and strode away.
The man in his thirties, seeing her leave, quickly followed her away.
As soon as she got outside, she started checking her bank statements.
Having grown accustomed to a comfortable life, she was unwilling to compromise herself even after a divorce. When she moved, she bought a lot of furniture and decorations for her large apartment.
Her previous clothes were too formal and old-fashioned to suit her status. She was not even fifty years old yet, so there was no need to dress herself up in an old-fashioned way. Therefore, she bought herself a lot of clothes. After buying clothes, she naturally needed to match them with shoes and bags, which cost a lot of money.
A few days ago, her nephew took a fancy to a car but was short of money, so she transferred two million to him.
Her brother's shop was having cash flow problems, so she lent him one million.
The rest of the money came from her trips with Wei Xuan, and from buying him watches, shoes, bags, clothes, and cell phones...
More than 20 million sounds like a lot, but if you buy whatever catches your eye, spending hundreds of thousands today and hundreds of thousands tomorrow, spending a little here and a little there, the money slips through your fingers before you know it.
Looking at the balance in her account, Sun Yurong's face darkened. How could she have spent the money?
At this moment, she panicked a little. From now on, no one would give her three million in pocket money every month.
No one buys her clothes or jewelry anymore.
She owns two houses and some jewelry. She can't very well sell the houses and jewelry; it's not that bad yet.
She didn't want to be laughed at.
She calmed herself down; she still had her son and daughter...
With that in mind, she dialed Zhou Jia's number.
Zhou Jia had just finished getting her nails done when she received a call from her mother, who asked, "Mom, why are you calling me now?"
Sun Yurong said gently, "Jiajia, your dad and I are divorced, and your grandparents' allowance has stopped. I'm a little short on money these days. Could you lend me some?"
Zhou Jia instinctively resisted: "I don't have any money either..."
She really has no money. Every month when the money comes into her account, she spends it on clothes and jewelry; she can't keep any of it.
If she runs out of money at the end of the month, she can ask her dad for some, and he will transfer some to her. She has never worried about whether she has enough money or not, nor has she ever thought about saving money.
Even if she had the money, she didn't want to lend it to her mother. She didn't want to start worrying about her mother's daily expenses before she was even married.
Hearing this, Sun Yurong felt a pang of sadness: "Your grandparents give you pocket money every month, and your father gives you money too, so how could you not have any?"
Zhou Jia: "That little bit of money is only enough for me to buy clothes and jewelry. You know I can't save money."
Sun Yurong: "During the Spring Festival, your grandmother gave you some jewelry; take it and sell one piece..."
Zhou Jia said incredulously, "Mom, those pieces of jewelry were given to me by Grandma. I wanted to keep them to maintain appearances. How could I sell them? What will Grandma think if she finds out I'm selling the jewelry she gave me? People will think the Zhou family is failing and that we have to sell jewelry to support our children. If Grandpa finds out about this, he'll be furious."
"They have a well-behaved granddaughter-in-law who dotes on them now, and I've already stepped aside. Do you still expect me to provoke them?"
After saying that, without waiting for her reply, she hung up the phone with tears in her eyes.
She had already seen the consequences of her third brother and sister-in-law arguing with their grandparents and disobeying their elders, and she didn't want to end up like them.
Her father doesn't care about her, and her mother still covets her jewelry. How did she end up with such parents?
She gripped her phone tightly. Her parents didn't care about her, so she had to plan for herself. In this family, she could only rely on her grandparents. With that in mind, she bought some pastries suitable for the elderly and went to the old house.
Sun Yurong was surprised that her daughter hung up on her directly, but she wasn't too surprised. This daughter was the most like her, but she was better off than her because she had her as her mother. She had gone to great lengths to marry into the Zhou family so that she could become the Zhou family's daughter.
Thinking about it this way, she wasn't so angry anymore, and she started thinking about her son again.
He Xishan is in the hospital to protect her pregnancy. Given her son's pride, after Zhou Kanghui clearly told them to move out, he wouldn't stay any longer and would definitely find a place to move out.
Her son had sold the villa and used some of the money to buy antiques, so he must still have some money left. She thought it best to have them move in with her. Her son could easily cover their daily expenses. With that in mind, she dialed her son's number again.
Lin Yi'an and Zhou Mingshi didn't pay attention to her. After finishing shopping at this store, they continued to shop at the next one.
The two shopped quickly, finishing their shopping at their favorite brands in just over an hour.
Zhou Mingshi took her hand and asked, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"
"I've bought everything I needed." Lin Yi'an glanced at her watch. "It's almost four o'clock. Shall we go home?"
Zhou Mingshi laughed and said, "I'll take you shopping in the port city next time."
Lin Yi-an: "We've already bought a lot today, we'll go again when we're resting."
The two walked towards the car while talking.
Although I only shopped for a little over an hour, I bought quite a few things.
Assistant Chen and Ye Lingzhi couldn't carry that many items, so Zhou Mingshi had them deliver them to their door.
Zhou Jia was sitting in the living room talking to her grandmother when she saw Butler Liu lead people out several times and bring back a lot of things.
Zhou Jia asked, "What are all these?"
Butler Liu said with a smile, "The second young master and second young mistress went shopping this afternoon, and they bought everything."
Yu Minhua laughed and said, "After getting married, there's been a lot more of a down-to-earth feel to the house. When did your second young master ever go out to buy anything before?"
Butler Liu said, "Everything at home has been prepared for him, so he doesn't need to buy anything."
Zhou Jia looked at the pile of things with envy: "You bought quite a lot!"
She had never bought so many things before her parents divorced.
She looked at the packaging; they were all brands she recognized.
The second brother has very few things; most of them belong to the second sister-in-law.
Both are heiresses from wealthy families, so why do their lives differ so much?
Why is there such a big difference between people?
When Zhou Mingshi and Lin Yi'an arrived home, everything had already been delivered.
Lin Yi'an took out the gifts she had bought for her grandparents.
Yu Minhua took it with a smile: "You guys went out to buy things, why are you buying things for me?"
Zhou Mingshi sat down next to her and made tea: "Yi'an picked these out herself. She said these shoes would suit you."
Yu Minhua and Zhou Qisheng tried it and said, "Not bad."
Lin Yi-an: "Suitable for walking."
Yu Minhua smiled, her wrinkles showing. They lacked nothing. Living to their age and being cared for by their grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law made everything wonderful.
Ye Lingzhi and Assistant Chen then brought the other items into the house and put them away.
Back in the room, Lin Yi'an took out a women's bag and a men's bag, handing them to Ye Lingzhi and Assistant Chen respectively: "These are for you."
Assistant Chen's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Mingshi.
Zhou Mingshi: "It's from the lady, please accept it."
"Thank you, Madam." Assistant Chen smiled immediately, took the package, and examined it closely.
Ye Lingzhi often received gifts from Sister Yi'an, so she wasn't too surprised and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Sister Yi'an."
Zhou Mingshi's phone rang, and he went to his study to answer it. After putting down his bag, Assistant Chen went to tidy up the study.
Zhou Mingshi hung up the phone and saw him tidying up the study while laughing. He casually asked, "What are you laughing about all by yourself?"
Assistant Chen cleared his throat, his tone still somewhat excited: "I didn't expect Madam to give us a gift, Mr. Zhou, I'm also benefiting from your wedding..."
Although President Zhou is very generous, he is careless and doesn't think of giving gifts to his subordinates.
Zhou Mingshi leaned back lazily in his chair: "You should be grateful to have met such a wonderful boss's wife as Yi'an."
Seeing his satisfied expression, Assistant Chen couldn't help but smile and say, "Mr. Zhou, keep up the good work. Your wife is treating you better and better. As the boss becomes more successful, I, as his personal assistant, will also benefit from it even more."
Zhou Mingshi: "I'll let you benefit a little bit, but you want to benefit more? You're greedy."
Assistant Chen chuckled twice.
Judging from Assistant Ye's reaction, he clearly receives gifts from Madam frequently.
No matter how much he benefits from the situation, as long as he is President Zhou's assistant for even a day, he will definitely receive gifts from his wife when she gives them to her subordinates.
