"Mom, why are you here?"
Xiao Yiren frowned, not looking very happy, but she quickly concealed her expression and asked.
"Yiren, Mom feels suffocated living at home, and the food your Aunt Zhao cooks is getting worse and worse. I think the Dynasty Hotel is pretty good, so I moved here!"
The middle-aged woman said disapprovingly.
Xiao Yiren then remembered that her mother had taken away one of her room cards. The executive suite was empty anyway, so her mother must have moved in while she was away.
This middle-aged woman is called Wang Xuemei. She is Xiao Yiren's biological mother. However, Xiao Yiren's parents have divorced long ago. The man following Wang Xuemei is her boyfriend, who is almost twenty years younger than Wang Xuemei.
"Yiren, why didn't you tell us that you were back? If we hadn't met just now, we wouldn't have known you were back!" Xu Dehong said with a smile on his face, as if he was full of the love of an elder.
"I forgot to tell you!"
Xiao Yiren said lightly.
Chen Xiaobao took a quick look and keenly sensed the discord. Xiao Yiren seemed to dislike this man very much. Not just dislike, but even quite hated him.
It was just because of the middle-aged woman's face that she didn't show it too obviously.
Chen Xiaobao guessed correctly. Xiao Yiren really hated this man. Xu Dehong was extremely greedy and was with her mother just for money.
When they divorced, Wang Xuemei had already taken a lot of money from the family, including five or six houses and tens of millions in cash. In just a few years, Wang Xuemei sold several houses and now only has two houses left.
And she keeps crying poor to Xiao Yiren. She used to ask for several million a year, and now she asks for tens of millions. During the holidays, she asks for big money and small money, and she also urges Xiao Yiren to buy her a luxury car and a mansion.
Xiao Yiren is not short of money, and there is no problem for her to spend money on her mother, but it is obvious that Xu Dehong is just trying to coax money out of Wang Xuemei.
Xiao Yiren talked to Wang Xuemei about this several times and they even had a big fight about it, but Wang Xuemei was bewitched by him and refused to listen to Xiao Yiren.
Although Xiao Yiren was very dissatisfied, there was nothing she could do.
At the beginning, whenever her mother asked for money, she would basically give her as much as she asked. But it is not like that now. Now Xiao Yiren gives Wang Xuemei 100,000 yuan a month, and it is useless for Wang Xuemei to cry, make a fuss, or even commit suicide.
It’s just 100,000 yuan a month, take it or not.
"Yiren, this is your friend, why don't you introduce him to me?"
Without waiting for Xiao Yiren to greet them, Wang Xuemei and Xu Dehong sat down uninvited and took the initiative to speak to Xiao Yiren.
"Mr. Chen, Xiaobao, this is my mother, Wang Xuemei. Mom, this is Mr. Chen from Dongsheng Group, this is Chen Xiaobao, and this is Xiaobao's friend!"
Xiao Yiren had no choice but to give a perfunctory introduction.
"Oh, so you are the big boss. I am Yiren's mother, Wang Xuemei. You and Yiren are friends, so we will be friends in the future too. Keep in touch!"
Wang Xuemei said enthusiastically, "Come on, let me order some food. We have friends coming today, so we must eat something delicious!"
"Auntie, don't bother, we have something to do later, just eat something casually!" Chen Ziyue is now the president of Dongsheng Group. She is a shrewd person. How could she not see that there is something wrong with the relationship between Xiao Yiren and her mother?
When Xiao Yiren introduced people, she didn't even introduce the man and completely ignored him.
It was obvious that Xiao Yiren had a lot of complaints about this man.
"No, no, we can't do that. Guests are welcome!" Wang Xuemei ignored Chen Ziyue's advice and directly ordered a table full of delicious dishes. She basically did not order the most delicious Taoyuan delicacies, but only ordered dried abalone, caviar, king crab, tuna, foie gras, truffles and other very expensive ingredients.
The biggest feature of these things is not that they are delicious, but that they are expensive. They are so expensive that the working class cannot afford them at all.
"Another bottle of Lafite, preferably from 1982!"
After ordering the dishes, Xu Dehong quickly added.
"Auntie Wang, you ordered so many hard dishes, it's like we haven't eaten anything good!" Seeing that Xu Dehong was greedy, Chen Xiaobao made a sarcastic remark without any hesitation.
"Oh, of course, of course. Everyone, hurry up and pick up your chopsticks and eat quickly!"
Wang Xuemei seemed not to understand Chen Xiaobao's sarcasm. As soon as the dishes were served, she quickly asked everyone to pick up their chopsticks. She kept picking up dishes for Xu Dehong, picking up whatever was delicious and expensive.
After a while, Xu Dehong's mouth was full of oil.
It's really comfortable to eat this soft rice.
When Xiao Yiren saw this scene, her brows furrowed even more tightly and she looked at Chen Ziyue and Chen Xiaobao apologetically. It's true that every family has its own problems.
Chen Ziyue shook her head helplessly. The situation in the Chen family was the same before, and it was even worse than this. It had reached the point of intrigue and life-and-death struggle. It was much more serious than what happened in Xiao Yiren's family.
"Come on, come on, the 1982 Lafite is here. This bottle could fetch one or two hundred thousand. Let's have a drink. I wish Yiren's new drama will be a big hit and she'll make a lot of money!"
When Xu Dehong saw the red wine being served, he quickly picked up the glass, poured himself a large glass first, and then greeted the others.
"Thank you, we don't drink!"
Chen Ziyue refused directly and her attitude was quite cold.
Xiao Yiren doesn't like this man, and as Xiao Yiren's friends, they naturally don't need to give this man face.
"If you don't drink, I will!"
Xu Dehong seemed to be unaware of other people's dissatisfaction and ate and drank to his heart's content.
It’s not that this guy can’t feel other people’s attitudes, but that he is too thick-skinned.
"Miss Xiao, we've almost finished eating. You take a rest for a while. We'll leave first!" Seeing that Su Mu and Tong Tong had almost finished eating, Chen Xiaobao was too lazy to stay any longer and prepared to take them away.
Su Mu and Tong Tong were not new to the world, so they were not interested in these dishes. Besides, it was evening, and girls eat less and need to maintain their figure.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Su Mu and Tong Tong didn't want to eat anymore.
"Xuemei!"
Seeing that Chen Xiaobao and the others were about to leave, Xu Dehong wiped the oil off his mouth and quickly winked at Wang Xuemei.
Wang Xuemei coughed and said quickly, "Yiren, Mom is old. You see, the environment where we live now is not very good. I have my eyes on a lake view villa and want to buy it for my retirement. What do you think?"
Wang Xuemei took advantage of the fact that Xiao Yiren's friend was here to bring up this matter. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yiren would definitely not refuse for the sake of face.
As long as Xiao Yiren agreed today, she would definitely try every possible means, using both soft and hard tactics, to get this lake view villa no matter what.
“How much is the villa?”
Xiao Yiren had a blank expression on her face and asked directly about the price.
