Lee Jae-jeon walked out of the room.
"Brother-in-law, do you have a red envelope for me?" Zeng Yu asked Chen Fang with a grin.
Zeng's mother slapped him across the face. What kind of talk was that? Logically speaking, on the first visit, the groom's family should give him a red envelope.
Shen Fang smiled and pulled out a huge red envelope from his pocket. He had prepared it in advance and threw it directly into Zeng Yu's hand. The weight of it stunned Zeng Yu. When she opened it, she found it was full of red fish, bundles and bundles of 6 Kun.
"Until you go to college this year, here's your allowance, 66 for good luck."
Zeng Yu was completely taken aback by Shen Fang's generosity and didn't know whether to accept the offer or not. She looked at Zeng Li beside her.
Zeng Li smiled slightly and patted Zeng Yu's head: "Your brother-in-law gave it to you, so just take it. He's rich."
Zeng Yu was about to accept it when her mother stopped her, saying, "This is not appropriate."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Auntie, there's nothing inappropriate about this. It's only right. If my sister-in-law needs anything in the future, she can just come to her brother-in-law. He'll give her whatever she wants."
"Thank you, brother-in-law! Hehe, you're so kind, brother-in-law!!! My sister is so lucky."
Mother Zeng didn't say anything more: "Xiaoyu, quickly call your uncles, and also your aunt and her family."
"Oh, oh, okay."
Shen Kun and Zhong Xueer then gave a brief introduction.
Mother Zeng started serving, offering a full array of snacks and treats, including sunflower seeds, peanuts, nuts, dried fruit, and fresh fruit.
This villa complex was bought by Zeng Li. Zeng Li lied to her mother that it was her acting fee, but in reality, Zeng Li didn't have that much acting fee. The house alone cost nearly 3 million yuan, all of which was given by Shen Fang.
Suddenly, her daughter's career took off, she even bought a new villa for the family, and now her son-in-law is so young, handsome, and, more importantly, successful—he's practically flawless. He's the kind of son-in-law you'd find anywhere else. As the saying goes, a mother-in-law's eyes light up with every look at her son-in-law.
That's the situation with Zeng's mother right now; she wants to bring out all the good things in the house.
Before long, Zeng Li's three uncles, aunts, cousins, and other relatives arrived, instantly making the house lively. However, Shen Fang showed none of the awkwardness one would expect from a son-in-law visiting for the first time; on the contrary, he was very outgoing and chatted about everything under the sun—history, philosophy, national policies, entertainment trends—he could talk about anything and everything with great eloquence, and he even discussed economic trends.
You can tell a lot about a person just by listening to their conversation. Shen Fang gave Zeng Li a friendly feeling; he was clearly not someone from an ordinary family.
"Excuse me, are you President Shen?" Zeng Li's cousin asked uncertainly.
Shen Fang was taken aback: "Huh?"
"Are you President Shen of our Tencent Group?" Zeng Yan looked at Shen Fang with excitement. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that her brother-in-law was her own top boss.
Shen Fang laughed: "That's right, that's me."
"Oh my god!!!" Zeng Yan looked like she was about to faint.
"Xiao Yan, what's wrong? Do you know Xiao Shen?" Zeng Li's aunt asked curiously.
"I don't know him, I don't know him. How could I possibly know President Shen?" Zeng Yan quickly waved her hands.
"Then, what are you doing???" Everyone in the room was a little confused.
Zeng Yan looked at Shen Fang: "Can you tell me?"
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Zeng Yan took a deep breath and pointed at Shen Fang: "This is my brother-in-law, Shen Fang, President Shen. He is the founder of Tencent, one of the eight Penguin brothers, the strategist of Tencent, the largest shareholder of Tencent, and a legendary figure in the internet industry!!! His net worth exceeds 10 billion!!!"
"hiss!!!"
Zeng Li's uncle was dumbfounded: "Didn't you just say that Xiao Shen was in the entertainment industry? How come he's now involved in the internet industry?"
Shen Fang smiled faintly: "We have quite a few industries."
Everyone's heads were spinning. A billionaire? What did that even mean? We were all just ordinary people. You suddenly became a billionaire. How were we supposed to get along with you? The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Shen Fang quickly offered cigarettes to everyone: "Business is business, and family is family. Lili is my lover, and you are all my family. From now on, we are all family. Don't feel any pressure when you get along with each other, and don't hesitate to help me if you need anything."
Zeng Li, standing to the side, smiled happily, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zeng Li's uncle patted Shen Fang on the shoulder: "Little Shen, no matter how much money you have, it doesn't matter. As long as you treat our Xiao Li well, we'll all consider you family. Little sister, is dinner ready?"
Mother Zeng nodded quickly: "It's been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you to come."
The eldest uncle nodded: "Alright, let's sit down at the table. Today is the first time our son-in-law has visited. As the saying goes, one's drinking habits reveal one's character. Xiao Shen, how much do you want to drink today? Don't drink too much, and don't drink too little. It's up to you, and it's also a test for us to see how you are doing. Let's sit down at the table."
If you have everything you need in terms of looks, family background, career, and talent, then you absolutely have to pass the final test: drinking. The older generation judges you by this. If you get too drunk and reveal your true nature—the kind who vomits everywhere, acts crazy, or causes trouble—no matter how much money you have, they will never marry you.
Shen Fang gave Shen Kun a wink, indicating that they should settle the score with their third maternal uncle today. Shen Fang had done his homework before coming.
Honestly, the drinking culture here is a bit scary. When a son-in-law visits, there's a first meal. First, everyone drinks with him, then the elders start offering toasts, and you can't refuse. After one toast, you have to drink another. Then they'll order you a drink. After that, you have to toast each of the elders again. And that's not all. Those with good connections start urging you to drink, one first. Then comes "Dragon and Phoenix Bring Prosperity," "Three Yangs Bring Good Fortune," "Peace in All Seasons," "Abundant Harvest," and finally, "Six Sixes Bring Great Success."
