Chapter 351 This Son-in-Law is Really Hateful
Bai Lianwan and Xie Jinglan were stunned for a while by Ji Chen's sudden showdown.
Especially Bai Lianwan, she had been to Yunduo with Ji Chen several times, and often complained to Ji Chen about the hateful "boss" of Yunduo who exploited her boyfriend. Unexpectedly, this boss was actually Ji Chen himself!
No wonder he works so hard every day, it seems like this is his own company!
Although I felt very angry that Ji Chen had been kept in the dark, I couldn't help but admire this boy in my heart. After all, he was only 19 years old and he founded Yunduo. He developed Yunduo so well in just a few months. It was really unimaginable how outstanding he was.
However, no matter how outstanding she was, she was still very angry that Ji Chen had lied to her.
When she gets the chance, she will definitely settle the score with this guy.
Ji Chen was already feeling a little guilty, and when he stared at Bai Lianwan's reaction and saw the change in expression on the girl's face, he couldn't help but swallow secretly.
After all, he had deceived Bai Lianwan for so long, and he could feel that this little girl would definitely come after him in the future.
Xie Jinglan was also at a loss for words. After coming to her senses, she said to Ji Chen, "Why didn't you tell us before?"
Ji Chen smiled sheepishly. "Back then, Yun Duo wasn't stable, and there were some disturbances online. Speaking of which, I might have caused you, Master's wife, to worry. I wanted to wait until things were more stable like now before officially telling you."
Xie Jinglan frowned unhappily, "Silly child, why are you being so distant with us? We are all family."
Bai Tainian felt a little strange listening to his mother-in-law's words. Wasn't Ji Chen his father-in-law's apprentice? How could they be considered family?
But he was more curious about how Ji Chen, a 19-year-old freshman, opened the Yunduo factory?
Thinking of this, Bai Tainian asked, "Xiao Ji, I looked at the information about Yunduo Company before, and you bought the first factory building. Why did you choose to buy a factory building in Xike Village instead of renting it? How did you make your first pot of gold?"
As soon as Bai Tainian said this, before Ji Chen could speak, several rapid coughs were heard.
Xia Zhonggeng coughed twice, couldn't help but glared at Bai Tainian, and then said, "What time is it now? Let's go eat quickly. Let's eat first."
Xia Jingshu looked at Ji Chen with increasing admiration. Upon hearing Xia Zhonggeng's words, she immediately stood up and said, "Yes, Xiao Ji must be hungry after working all morning. Let's go eat."
"Yes, let's go and eat first." Xie Jinglan also stood up and greeted them. She definitely couldn't let her future grandson-in-law starve.
Seeing that his parents and his wife had spoken, Bai Tainian could only change the subject and said, "Well, let's eat first."
However, he didn't know if he was having an illusion, but why did he feel that his father-in-law looked at him with more and more displeasure?
When Ji Chen and Bai Lianwan heard the greetings from their elders, they stood up and followed them out. While they were not paying attention, Ji Chen squeezed the girl's hand in a flattering manner. He was a little worried that the girl would settle accounts with him when no one was around.
Fortunately, the girl didn't seem angry and even let him pinch her hand a few more times.
Bai Tainian and Xia Zhonggeng had almost finished preparing lunch. Everyone came to the dining table and set up the dishes, chopsticks, and drinks. The last two quick dishes were also served one after another.
A table full of delicious food was served. Each dish not only looked appetizing, but was also presented very elegantly.
After sitting down, Ji Chen looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Uncle's cooking skills are almost catching up with a five-star master."
Bai Tainian looked at his wife beside him without hesitation and said with a smile, "It's also something that was developed through training."
As he spoke, he frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Ji Chen, "In terms of seniority, since you acknowledged my father as your master, we are equals. Although I am much older than you, we still have to follow seniority. You can just call me Brother Bai."
Everyone at the dinner table was stunned when they heard Bai Tainian's words.
Xia Zhonggeng and Xie Jinglan opened their mouths almost at the same time, but neither of them could say that they agreed with Wanwan and Ji Chen's relationship.
Ji Chen hurriedly stood up and said, "No, no, no, it's better for me to call you uncle. After all, you are old."
If it weren't for the fact that Little White Rabbit didn't allow him to say it, Ji Chen would have wanted to call him father-in-law directly.
He doesn't want to be brothers with Bai Tainian.
Bai Tainian couldn't help but frown, "According to seniority, you really have to call me brother, otherwise the order will be messed up. It's okay, just call me brother."
Xia Jingshu coughed twice unnaturally and touched Bai Tainian's arm. "Forget it, just call me whatever Xiao Ji says."
Although Bai Tainian dotes on his wife very much, this is a matter of principle, so he still maintains his position and says seriously, "We can't do this carelessly, otherwise the generation relationship between me and Dad will be messed up." Bai Tainian said, looking at Xia Zhonggeng, "Dad, don't you agree?"
Xia Zhonggeng frowned slightly. "Well, it's okay. Just call me like Ji Chen does. There's no need to be so particular."
It's true that the generations are a bit messed up, but Wanwan and Ji Chen are going to get married eventually, so it's really inappropriate for Ji Chen to call Bai Tainian "brother"...
Bai Tainian didn't expect that his father-in-law would agree, and he was very surprised. But the other party was his father-in-law after all, so he could only look at Xie Jinglan, who was always well-educated and paid the most attention to etiquette.
After all, my mother-in-law is the principal of Jiangbei University, and this kind of inappropriate behavior cannot be tolerated.
However, before Bai Tainian's eyes landed on her, Xie Jinglan quickly called out to everyone, "The food is getting cold, eat quickly."
After Xie Jinglan finished speaking, everyone at the table picked up their bowls and chopsticks in tacit understanding, without any ambiguity.
Bai Tainian's brows were almost wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character. Although Ji Chen was outstanding, he couldn't be allowed to call people by random names based on their seniority.
He had no intention of compromising and was ready to continue discussing the issue of seniority principles seriously with everyone at the dinner table.
But before he could say anything, Xia Jingshu quickly picked up a few pieces of vegetables and put them into Bai Tainian's bowl. "Tainian, eat quickly. This dish won't taste good if it gets cold."
Bai Tainian and Xia Jingshu have been married for so many years, and he doesn't care about other people's expressions, but he can almost tell instantly that his wife doesn't want him to continue talking about this matter.
Helplessly, considering that he couldn't affect Xia Jingshu's mood, Bai Tainian could only give up for the time being and picked up the bowl and chopsticks.
But what's wrong with this family today? Logically speaking, if Ji Chen doesn't call people according to their seniority, his father-in-law and mother-in-law would never agree with it given their habits and upbringing.
Bai Tainian didn't understand why he was still following Ji Chen in such a disorderly manner.
During the meal, everyone enjoyed it quite well except Bai Tainian who was a little depressed.
Especially Xia Jingshu, her face was obviously smiling more often. After all, after so many years, she finally had a good meal with her daughter, although they were still a little unfamiliar.
After dinner, the group sat in the living room and chatted for a while. Xie Jinglan looked at the time and said to Ji Chen, "Xiao Ji, why don't you take a nap? You will be more energetic for work in the afternoon."
Ji Chen smiled and said, "No, I have to go out in 15 minutes. I have to rush to deliver goods this afternoon, so I have to go early."
Xia Zhonggeng solemnly warned, "Then don't get too tired. Your health is the capital of the revolution."
After hearing what the three of them said, Bai Tainian recalled the previous incident about Yun Duo. He looked at Ji Chen and asked, "By the way, Ji Chen, you haven't told me how you got your first pot of gold to buy the factory?"
"And why did you choose to buy a factory in Xike Village? Did you invest because of its geographical location?"
Xie Jinglan heard Bai Tainian's question and followed suit, "Yeah, buying such a large factory building. Xiao Ji, as a student, do you know enough about the situation here? I shouldn't have been overcharged, right?"
Ji Chen's heart instantly broke out in a cold sweat, wondering how to answer without exposing the secret that his master had kept his private money...
At this moment, Xia Zhonggeng's seemingly calm appearance had already caused a huge storm. He was panicked and nervous, and could not help but secretly glare at Bai Tainian again.
This son-in-law is really - extremely hateful!
