Although Chen Ru has recently received many big clients, allowing her to double her performance, it can be expected that her year-end bonus will be very considerable, but she has not received the bonus yet.
Wen Ying, this spendthrift girl, went to Macau and bought so many things. Chen Ru was really furious.
Although she had to admit that she was indeed very happy to receive the high-end cosmetics that Wen Ying brought back from Macau.
But it was only natural for Wen Ying to buy cosmetics for her.
It is also reasonable to buy it for Chen Li. Chen Li treats Wen Ying as her own daughter. If Wen Ying forgets Chen Li, she would be really heartless.
Chen Ru also had no objection to buying it for Deng Jie and Deng Hao.
Wen Ying's generation are basically all only children. Without brothers and sisters with the same father and mother, cousins are considered to be very close. Deng Jie and Deng Hao are Chen Ru's nephews. If Wen Ying is bullied by her in-laws in the future, she has two close cousins who can scare Wen Ying's husband with their fists - the relationship between siblings is developed through mutual interaction, so Deng Jie and Deng Hao must be bought!
Bought for Deng Shangwei... Forget it, Deng Shangwei has always been nice to Wen Ying. It would be fine if they were divorced, but they haven't divorced yet. Wen Ying wants to buy a gift for Deng Shangwei, so just buy it.
At the Wen family, Wen Ying bought a famous brand pen for Wen Kai.
Chen Ru has always had complicated feelings towards Wen Kai. If Wen Kai is not successful, the Wen family may drag down Wen Ying in the future; if Wen Kai is too successful and suppresses Wen Ying, Chen Ru will also feel unhappy.
Humph, just buy it. Compared with Wen Kai and Shu Lu, he is indeed much more sensible.
Chen Ru thought of Lin Lin saying that Wen Ying's grades were okay, and guessed that Wen Ying would have no problem getting into a top university in the college entrance examination. She was not as wary of Wen Kai as before.
As for Wen Ying buying a gift for Grandma Wen, Chen Ru could barely accept it when she thought of the two thousand yuan that her mother-in-law had given her.
But Wen Ying also brought gifts for Uncle Wen and his wife, and Uncle Wen's family, leaving no one out. Chen Ru felt that Wen Ying had too much money to burn – how could anything she brought back from Macau be cheap? This girl didn't take money seriously!
Wen Ying gave a flattering smile: "It didn't cost much. The store just gave me some money before I left, and I took it with me to Macau. I didn't even touch the two thousand yuan you gave me!"
Wen Ying took out the pocket money that Chen Ru gave her before she left and put it on the table, swearing that she had never taken advantage of the Qin family. The money for buying gifts had nothing to do with the Qin family and was all earned by her own money.
As for lies, nine of them must be true and one must be false to be believable.
The money was indeed earned by Wen Ying, but not from selling crayfish. Instead, she earned it in the casino. Chen Ru never thought that Qin Xianming would dare to bring Wen Ying into the casino. As long as Wen Ying didn't say anything, she would never guess that the money was won by Wen Ying in the casino.
In front of Wen Dongrong, Chen Ru couldn't say that Wen Ying shouldn't bring gifts to Wen's relatives, so she could only say that Wen Yinghua didn't report so much money.
Wen Ying took Chen Ru's arm and shook her, "Mom, I went to Macau and didn't buy anything for myself. I spent all the money on you. Can you please stop scolding me? Besides, bringing gifts for Uncle and the others is also to give you face. Who else but you could raise a daughter as well-behaved, sensible, and generous as me!"
Wen Ying flatters Chen Ru and does not forget to flatter herself.
Chen Ru thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
Shu Lu went to attend summer camp, bought herself two new dresses, and took photos everywhere, but she never brought even a bag of candy or a box of cakes to the Wen family. Wen Hongyan didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all. She just kept saying that her family was poor, as if being "poor" meant they didn't have to be polite.
What Wen Ying did really made Chen Ru proud.
Chen Ru had been softened by Wen Ying's words, but she still couldn't help but glare at Wen Ying: It's okay to bring a gift, but can't you buy something cheap and affordable?
Ever since Wen Ying started earning her own money, her consumption level has unknowingly increased, and Chen Ru feels pressured.
Wen Dongrong coughed and said, "You brought cosmetics for your mother, but what did you bring for me?"
Wen Ying rummaged through a pile of gifts and finally found the one for Wen Dongrong.
She brought three ties for Wen Dongrong.
Because they agreed with Qin Jiao to spend all the money they won, when they went shopping the next day, Wen Ying, Qin Jiao and Xie Qian spent nearly 70,000 yuan in total. They took the shopping receipts to participate in the mall's discount activities. The three ties that Wen Dongrong bought were basically all exchanged with points, and Wen Ying didn't spend any money at all.
She was indeed quite perfunctory towards Wen Dongrong and didn't put any effort into choosing the gift.
Thinking of Qin Xianming's dedication to educating his children, Wen Ying didn't even want to give him the three ties. But when she thought about what Xie Qian's father had done, she felt that Old Wen still had some good points. When Wen Ying asked the mall to deliver headphones to his home, she also gave Wen Dongrong an extra pair of leather shoes.
The actual gift she bought for Wen Dongrong was a pair of leather shoes, which cost Wen Ying more than a thousand yuan.
Wen Dongrong looked at his leather shoes and then at his tie.
They are all branded goods and are good stuff.
A pair of leather shoes that sold for more than 1,000 yuan in 2004 would cost at least 7,000 or 8,000 yuan in shopping malls in 2019.
Even fifteen years later, not many people in Wen Ying's hometown, a small city, would wear such expensive shoes.
Wen Dongrong calculated the price in his mind. The leather shoes and tie together were more expensive than Chen Ru's cosmetics. He nodded with satisfaction: his position as the head of the family had not been shaken.
Wen Dongrong was satisfied and spoke up for Wen Ying:
"Even if she doesn't buy the things, she has already bought them. Don't scold her. Just be more careful next time."
Just as Wen Ying said, the money was not spent on herself. She took every relative in the family into consideration. It was not only Chen Ru who felt proud. Wen Dongrong also felt for the first time that his daughter was thoughtful and sensible. Besides, it was impossible to control her. If a child can earn money, she will become independent. Wen Dongrong was too concerned about his reputation to ask Wen Ying to hand over all the money she earned. It was difficult for him to control Wen Ying's behavior if he could not control her finances.
Wen Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She hid the gift she bought for Deng Yaomei in advance, otherwise she would be talked about endlessly.
Wen Ying thought that she had passed the hurdle of her parents, but she didn't know that Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong were lying in bed at night, and Chen Ru couldn't sleep at all.
Chen Ru was filled with anxiety: "Have you calculated the price of the gifts she bought? I'm afraid it must have cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in total!"
How come this kid is so generous and daring in spending money?
Some people don’t even earn that much in a year!
Chen Ru was roaring in her heart, wanting Wen Ying to bring her the accounts of "Shrimp King" for another look.
How much money does one have to earn to be so extravagant!
Chen Ru was afraid that when she settled accounts at the end of the year, her salary would be less than what Wen Ying and her friends earned from their business. Then, as a mother, how could she still have any face?
Do you have the nerve to urge Wen Ying to concentrate on her studies?
Does Wen Ying think that whether or not to go to college will not affect her income?
Chen Ru had been hesitant about taking the postgraduate entrance exam before, and the couple was wasting time, but now they can't wait to get up at night to sign up for an English cram school.
After talking for a long time, Wen Dongrong didn't move, so Chen Ru kicked Wen Dongrong:
"What are you doing? I'm not responding when I talk to you!"
"...I'm trying to decide which tie to wear tomorrow."
“…”
Chen Ru kicked Wen Dongrong on the waist and kicked him off the bed.
——What use is there for her with this dead man!
