Li Sha sighed and said, "This Xiao Hui is the younger sister of a male classmate of mine in high school. This male classmate was my deskmate and started pursuing me in the first year of high school, but I didn't have any feelings for him. My male classmate's younger sister is two grades below me and also goes to the same school. This male classmate actually had his sister come to invite me to see a movie and go to the park, but I always refused."
"Li Sha, are your male classmate's parents very wealthy?"
"Yes, I heard that his mother runs a large company in China and his father runs another company abroad. They own several small villas. The other girls in our class are very envious and want to date this guy. Some of them have even gone to his house to pursue him."
The Queen Mother asked, "Why don't you like this male classmate?"
“Auntie, this male classmate comes from a very wealthy family, so he acts very arrogantly. Although he is very humble in front of me, he is haughty in front of other classmates. My dad once told me: It’s not enough for someone to be nice to you; you have to see if that person is nice to others. Only when they are nice to everyone else are they a good person. I think: This male classmate comes from a wealthy family and has a lot of bad habits. If I marry him, I will definitely not be happy.”
The Queen Mother asked in confusion, "Li Sha, don't you have any feelings about money?"
"Yes, I don't know what's wrong with me. Although I was born into a business family, I only think about how to run the business well, but I don't really have any feelings about money."
The Queen Mother then asked, "Are you interested in business?"
"Yes, my dad said I have a business mind. For example, my family owns a hair salon, and to attract customers, I implemented a membership system. As long as you become a member, you will receive discounts. Since we adopted the membership system, more and more people have come to my salon for beauty treatments, and they are all regular customers."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but look at Li Sha in a new light, never expecting that this girl was so good at business.
She thought with relief: My son is useless and has no interest in running a business. It seems I need to marry a daughter-in-law who knows how to run a business to help my son.
This girl, Li Sha, would be an ideal daughter-in-law.
She's not interested in money, but she is interested in business, which is great.
"Li Sha, after you get married, are you planning to be a housewife or continue running your business?"
"Auntie, my idea is to decide based on the situation. If I need to be a housewife, then I will raise and educate the next generation well. If I need to run a business, then I can hire a nanny to take care of my children, and I can devote myself wholeheartedly to the business."
The Queen Mother was very satisfied with Li Sha; if she were to give Li Sha a score, she would give her 100.
The Queen Mother glanced at her watch and said, "Li Sha, I would like to invite you to dinner at a restaurant."
Li Sha politely declined, saying, "Auntie, I don't live here. If I did, I would invite you to my house for dinner. I think eating at a restaurant is too expensive, and the oil and salt are not good for your health."
The Queen Mother said, "Going to a restaurant once in a while isn't out of line."
Li Sha stopped insisting on her own opinion and readily agreed, "Then I will respectfully comply and follow Auntie's arrangements."
The three of them went to a restaurant, which was considered a high-end restaurant in city A.
The waiter brought the menu.
The Queen Mother pushed the menu in front of Li Sha and said, "You order. Order whatever you like."
Li Sha flipped through the menu and said, "The food at this restaurant is really expensive."
“Li Sha, we rarely eat out. When we do, it’s not about being extravagant. It’s fine if it’s a little expensive.”
Li Sha ordered two dishes: Mapo Tofu and a simple stir-fry, both of which were the cheapest options.
The mother breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that Li Sha was an excellent daughter-in-law in every way.
The Queen Mother ordered six more dishes, all of which were top-notch signature dishes.
Li Sha sighed and said, "Auntie, I'm not a special guest. I can just eat whatever I want. It really hurts my heart to spend so much money."
Mother Wang said with a smile, "Li Sha, my son told you that my family runs a small restaurant. In fact, twenty years ago, my family did run a small restaurant. However, now we have upgraded and established a trading company. After we finish eating, I will take you to visit the company."
Li Sha feigned surprise and said, "Brother Wang, you...you actually lied to me, saying your family runs a small restaurant, and that the restaurant was even losing money. How did you suddenly become a big company? I...I've fallen for your trick."
Wang Xiaobian gave an awkward laugh.
Wang's mother defended her son, saying, "Li Sha, don't blame my son. I told him: When you're dating, don't flaunt your family's wealth. Otherwise, the woman will become greedy for your wealth, and you won't marry a wife, but a poisonous snake."
Li Sha feigned displeasure and said, "I hate it when people lie to me. I'm a little angry."
Mother Wang quickly apologized, saying, "Li Sha, don't be angry. It's all my fault. Actually, even if my son didn't tell the truth, there's some truth to it, because twenty years ago, my family started by running a small restaurant."
Li Sha was very satisfied with her performance; she had completely transformed herself into a different person.
After dinner, it was already dark. A luxury car pulled up in front of the restaurant, and Wang's mother took Li Sha to visit the 28-story building of Qiankun Trading Company.
Li Sha suppressed her overwhelming joy, deliberately remaining calm and seemingly indifferent to the Wang family's wealth.
The mother said excitedly, "Li Sha, I've always wanted to find a daughter-in-law who is both thrifty and good at managing a business. Originally, I had no hope for this, but I never expected that such a wonderful daughter-in-law would fall from the sky."
"Auntie, I'm not that good."
"Hehe... Li Sha, you're too modest. I think you're the perfect wife."
The Queen Mother instructed the driver to take Li Sha back to the Happiness Inn.
Li Sha excitedly ran to Ma Yunfei's room. As soon as she entered, she saw Ye Ya trying on clothes again.
Ma Yunfei asked, "Sasha, judging from your expression, you must have won a great victory and returned in triumph."
“Brother Ma, you’re right. Today is the most important day of my life because I have received my future mother-in-law’s approval. To put it another way, I have already stepped one foot into the door of a noble lady.”
Ma Yunfei calmly said, "Li Sha, I have to warn you, although you have been chosen by the Queen Mother, there may still be a process before you marry Wang Xiaobian. There may be unexpected events in the process, so you must always be vigilant and not let victory go to your head."
