The National Day holiday has begun.
Mo Bai Supermarket launched a new round of promotional activities, and Yu Mo Bai, who happened to have nothing to do, was dragged to the supermarket by Zheng Zhaoxia to do hard labor.
"Mom, how can you treat your son like this?"
Yu Mobai said with great dissatisfaction, "You always pick the hardest jobs for me to do."
"You don't know anything."
Zheng Zhaoxia stood at the door greeting customers, her face beaming with joy. "Take a break if you're tired, and keep going if you're not."
"Hey, Sister Zheng, isn't that your son?"
Regular customers all knew that Zheng Zhaoxia had a successful son, and upon seeing him, they praised him, saying, "I heard your son's company is quite big. My child plays the games your son developed every day."
"Your son is a big boss and he can still help you with your work. That's really something."
Zheng Zhaoxia accepted all the praise without a trace, her smile never fading.
As Yu Mobai moved the goods, he observed Zheng Zhaoxia's reaction. He muttered to himself, "When did my mom become so vain? She's actually using me to show off in all sorts of ways."
Despite his grumbling, he still dutifully finished all the tasks assigned to him.
Before leaving, he took another bottle of good wine. Zheng Zhaoxia saw it and gave him a good scolding, "Drinking every day, drinking every day! You've been drinking with Lao Ji for days on end, what have you gotten out of it?"
"Mom, you don't understand. Men should talk business over drinks. That way, they have a higher chance of success."
Yu Mobai tucked the wine into his pocket to prevent Zheng Zhaoxia from snatching it away.
"They only have a chance when they're negotiating business, you're practically kidnapping someone's daughter!"
Zheng Zhaoxia continued.
"Just tell me if you want to have another grandson."
Yu Mobai asked crisply and decisively.
Zheng Zhaoxia was silent for a while, then took out another bottle of fine wine. "I will definitely accept you as my daughter-in-law, but I still have the same requirement: you can only choose one. And don't go too far. This cheap wine is not good enough for you."
Yu Mobai returned home with a smile, carrying the wine, and knocked on the door in one smooth motion.
"What are you doing here again, kid?"
Ji Zhigang has been drinking so much these past few days that he's almost throwing up, but this little brat acts like nothing's wrong, showing up at my door with bottles of alcohol the very next day, begging for food.
At first, Ji Zhigang wouldn't cook for him, so he brought his own food and drank until evening. Afterward, he cleaned up and went home.
Two days passed like this, and Ji Zhigang had no choice but to join the drinking party, but he still didn't agree.
As soon as Yu Mobai entered the door today, he smelled the aroma of food. "Uncle Ji has cooked. Let's have a drink."
As he spoke, he slammed the bottle of liquor he was holding onto the table.
"You drink such expensive wine with me every day, doesn't your mother say anything?"
Ji Zhigang was so angry he laughed.
"Just a few bottles of wine."
Yu Mobai waved his hand casually, "This little bit of wine can buy a daughter-in-law. My mom definitely knows who's more important."
"You're getting more and more outrageous."
Ji Zhigang glared at him. "I'm only drinking, I won't talk to you about anything else."
"I didn't plan to talk to you about anything else. Let's have a few more drinks today."
Yu Mobai smiled and filled the glass to the brim. He could sense that Ji Zhigang's attitude was slowly changing.
Ji Mushu inherited her proud and arrogant personality from her father, who was also incredibly proud and arrogant.
Even if they don't reject being together in the future, they probably won't show it. Yu Mobai will have to figure out the meaning behind it himself.
Yu Mobai wondered if, given Ji Zhigang's current attitude, it was necessary to give him a harsher provocation to see his reaction.
Logically speaking, Ji Mushu's feelings for him should have returned to normal by now.
The two chatted almost every day, sometimes even having long phone conversations. Ji Mushu would complain about work or talk about how bizarre the case she was working on that day, and so on...
This ubiquitous desire to share convinced Yu Mobai that Ji Mushu was still the same Ji Mushu.
She seemed to silently accept Yu Mobai's two-timing behavior, but she always avoided mentioning it. Whenever she needed something, she would call Yu Mobai to her side, regardless of who he was with.
In fact, Yu Mobai and Dong Yike both silently accepted this situation.
If you want Ji Mushu to stop bringing up the past, you have to make some choices. Dong Yike probably views these things from the perspective of a first wife or the head of the harem, so she is very open-minded.
Yu Xinran, on the other hand, didn't care how many women were around Yu Mobai.
She is becoming more and more mature and virtuous. She has had far more stepmothers and step-stepmothers than Dong Yike since she was a child, so she has never worried about this aspect.
So, from this perspective, Yu Mobai's predicament has been largely resolved.
Including this drunken future father-in-law.
During the seven-day National Day holiday, Yu Mobai basically spent all his time at Ji Zhigang's house, which made Zheng Zhaoxia constantly complain, "Is this son even his own? He's practically being raised by someone else's family."
Yu Mobai naturally comforted his elderly mother before returning to Shengjing.
The first thing we did after the National Day holiday was to move into the new office building.
This gives everyone the illusion that they have suddenly moved from a small bungalow to a villa.
Yu Mobai wasn't stingy either; with a wave of his hand, he sent Qi Moliang and everyone in the company off to a dinner party.
Dong Yike has been quite busy lately, so he's in charge of supervising the progress at the new house.
Ji Mushu's house has also started renovations. Ji Mushu didn't make any requests, so Yu Mobai simply handed it over to the renovation company.
"Senior Yu!"
Just as Yu Mobai was supervising the new house, Chen Zhixi's voice suddenly came. She ran in with a smile, "Why are you here?"
