Wang Rui coldly stared at Wang's mother and Wang Hua, a slight smirk playing on her lips, and let out an undisguised, contemptuous laugh. That laugh was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the hearts of the two people opposite her.
Hearing the jarring laughter, Wang Hua turned around abruptly, her eyes wide with anger as she glared fiercely at Wang Rui. She roared furiously, "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how could I have made such a fool of myself in front of the boss?" Her voice was so loud that it drew the attention of everyone around.
Just then, Qian Gui, who had been standing beside Wang Rui, gently reached out and tenderly embraced her slender waist. He didn't speak, but that warm and strong hug was like a silent vow, silently giving Wang Rui endless support and strength.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan completely ignored the Wang family members. He knew very well that he wasn't the owner here, and even if he were, he wouldn't exchange a single word with these women. Besides, accidentally upsetting his wife would be a huge loss!
Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't react to her accusations, Wang Hua couldn't help but feel suspicious. Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly turned her attention to Qian Duoduo, her face instantly darkening. She looked Qian Duoduo up and down, her expression sarcastic, and said, "Oh ho, look at your outfit, quite glamorous! Could it be that your boss bought all these clothes for you?"
When Wang Rui saw Wang Hua spouting nonsense at Qian Duoduo again, her heart tightened. Without hesitation, she turned to face Qian Duoduo, her face full of apology and guilt, and quickly said, "Boss, I'm so sorry! I've caused you trouble."
Hearing this, Wang Hua was taken aback. He turned around and stared at Wang Rui with a look of surprise, asking in a stiff tone, "What's wrong with you? Why are you apologizing to this woman? Who does she think she is!"
Standing to the side, He Ying's already unpleasant face became even more gloomy, as if it could drip water. She bit her lip tightly, her gaze coldly fixed on Wang Hua and Wang's mother. The slight joy she had felt for Qian Gui's marriage had vanished without a trace. In fact, she had heard from Wang Rui that her father was difficult to deal with, but she never expected that in addition to those troublesome parents, there would also be such a unreasonable and troublesome older sister.
Qian Duoduo silently observed the scene unfolding before her, taking in the expressions of everyone in the room. In particular, when she caught sight of Qian Gui's large hands firmly resting on Wang Rui's slender waist, she instantly understood that Qian Gui was determined to have chosen Wang Rui.
So, she merely glanced at Wang Hua indifferently, then walked straight to the seat next to Wang's father, which originally belonged to Wang's mother, with her head held high and exuding an aura of authority, and sat down steadily and humbly.
Wang Hua stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief. Qian Duoduo sat elegantly in a chair, while the person he had mistaken for her boss stood respectfully behind her! This sight made Wang Hua wonder: could this seemingly powerful and intimidating woman really be her boss, as Wang Rui had claimed?
At this moment, Qian Duoduo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, and he slowly said, "I am Wang Rui's boss—Qian Duoduo. I'm sure you can guess from my name that I'm someone who has no shortage of money." As he said this, Qian Duoduo paused deliberately, his gaze sweeping over Wang's mother and Wang Hua.
The two men's expressions immediately turned sour.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo chuckled inwardly. She continued, "Wang Rui has always performed exceptionally well in our company, and she is incredibly dedicated to her work. For such an outstanding employee, I am naturally very happy to pay her the salary and benefits she deserves. However, as for things like shift work or substitutes, that's simply not an option here! You know, I never support idle people who do nothing! So, from now on, there will be no substitutes at Wanmao Company."
He Ying also saw Qian Gui's hand on Wang Rui's waist, and sighed inwardly. She took a step forward and said, "Our whole family came here with sincerity to propose marriage, but I see that your family has no sincerity at all."
Upon hearing He Ying's words, Wang Rui's expression changed. She wanted to step forward and say something, but Qian Gui pulled her back with his large hand around her waist and shook his head slightly.
Looking at Qian Gui in front of her, Wang Rui saw his calm and composed demeanor and couldn't help but think to herself: She really had feelings for Qian Gui, especially after they became a couple. His care and attention made her incredibly happy and touched. So she had even fought for this relationship with her parents. That's why she impulsively fought with Wang Hua when she heard her mother actually wanting her to switch marriages with Wang Hua.
Just then, upon hearing He Ying's words, Wang's mother's heart skipped a beat. Her previously confident face now showed fear that He Ying might really run away. She said, "Of course! Wang Rui is our family's good girl. She obediently hands over all the money she earns every month to me. In the future, when the young couple starts working and earning money, they will have to hand it all over to me. Otherwise, I will absolutely not agree to their marriage!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Rui was taken aback and blurted out, "Mom, that's not what you told me back then!"
Before she could finish speaking, the Queen Mother glared at her fiercely, snorted heavily, and said domineeringly, "Enough nonsense! This matter must be handled this way!"
Everyone present thought that the Queen Mother was being unreasonable. Guo Ni saw Qian Gui holding Wang Rui tightly and winking at her. Oh well, what can you do when this silly boy is so stubborn?
She took a step forward, came to He Ying's side, and said sarcastically without any politeness, "You people are supposed to be from the city, how can you be so ignorant! This is the new China, the new society! The government has explicitly banned arranged marriages! Do you think you can do whatever you want? Who do you think you are? Can you control everything?"
However, the Queen Mother didn't take it to heart. She just snorted and retorted confidently, "She's a piece of my flesh and blood, so she has to listen to me in everything!"
He Ying spat fiercely, her face full of disdain, and said, "Hmph! A piece of your own flesh and blood?" She pointed a finger at Wang Hua viciously and said, "She's the one who's a piece of your own flesh and blood! Look at her, she's practically a carbon copy of you, and her temper is exactly the same. And yet she's thinking of getting married, even wanting to be my daughter-in-law? Even if you paid me, I would never agree!"
