Chapter 43

Geng Tianhua had already regarded Yun Zhe as one of his own, without any reservation, and said directly: "Yun Zhe, your father is astonishing today—he opened over 100,000 worth of fine liquor, just like that, and opened so much."

The liquor opened today certainly costs this much money. He stretched out a finger and gestured.

He said, both startled and excited: "I never imagined that one day I, Geng Tianhua, could bask in my daughter's glory and drink such high-end liquor— the liquor is good, but it's indeed quite expensive."

Being able to drink such fine liquor really makes one reluctant to leave.

Fine liquor— who doesn't love it?

He unintentionally turned his head and glanced at something, then froze in shock.

The driver who had sent them back, from the trunk, took out several gift bags, inside which were the kind of fine liquor they had drunk at the restaurant.

"Mr. Geng, these are what Mr. Xiao said he wanted to send to your home as a small gift." The driver finished speaking, lifted those items, and headed to the Geng family's residence.

"I..."

Geng Tianhua was dumbfounded.

"Jing Shu, look, your father-in-law has sent over so many good things— we, we..."

Jing Shu's mother was also dumbfounded; at the restaurant, their family had already been shocked enough.

And then, there was still this operation to come.

Seeing this scene, Yun Zhe was overjoyed.

His father was also extremely good to him; this operation made him feel very dignified.

Before, every time he went home with Jing Shu, he felt a little inferior, after all, his circumstances were as they were.

Going to the Geng family, they would only buy some fruit, milk, and such, never bringing anything grandiose.

Now, Xiao Ming's grand gift made him feel his spine straighten instantly.

Yun Zhe's heart blossomed with happiness.

"Dad, just accept it— this is my father-in-law's heartfelt intention." On the way back from the restaurant, with Yun Zhe comforting her beside her, she also composed her emotions and had already figured things out.

She placed her hand on her lower abdomen, gazing at Yun Zhe with eyes full of tenderness, feeling that choosing Yun Zhe was truly wise.

With such a wealthy father, Yun Zhe's future is bound to be limitless.

Afterward, the driver who had sent them back delivered all the gifts Xiao Ming had ordered to be sent to the Geng family, then respectfully bade farewell and left.

Yun Zhe, meanwhile, lingered with his wife for a while, and only at deep night did he reluctantly bid farewell and leave.

After seeing Yun Zhe off, Geng Tianhua turned to his wife Sun Xuehua and daughter Jing Shu and exclaimed: "It seems Yun Zhe's father is a big shot!"

At this moment, Geng Tianhua truly feels like a proper husband; this meal from Xiao Ming, not to mention the cost, has also given his family plenty of face.

Xiao Ming, when dealing with their family, shows no trace of wealthy arrogance.

In the future, when his daughter marries into the Xiao family, she will surely not suffer any grievance.

However, this low-key Xiao Ming— just how formidable is he?

After pondering for a while, Geng Tianhua sighed heavily and said to Jing Shu: "Your father-in-law's circumstances are quite good, and he's a fine person; you will surely not suffer any grievance in the future."

Jing Shu's mother, Sun Xuehua, suddenly spoke up: "Tianhua, who do you think is wealthier— Yun Zhe's father or his maternal grandmother?"

"Hehe." Geng Tianhua heard her, laughed, and said: "Yun Zhe's father is steady in his actions and also very wealthy; at first glance he's a big shot, but I think Yun Zhe's maternal grandmother is even wealthier, after all she's listed on the wealth rankings, whereas Yun Zhe's father— before this, we had never even heard his name."

"No matter how wealthy he is, he could never compare to the Wen family."

"Do you want or not want Yun Zhe to go to the Wen family? Think it over— if you do, just persuade him a few times." Geng Tianhua said to his daughter.

Jing Shu fell silent, then helplessly said: "Dad, at noon just now, Yun Zhe's maternal grandmother contacted me, saying that tomorrow is her birthday and she will hold a banquet at the Wen family, inviting our whole family to attend."

"I told Yun Zhe about this, and he said, just let us go."

"I can't really gauge Yun Zhe's thoughts right now; I'll wait until tomorrow to observe his relationship with his maternal grandmother a bit more, I can't blindly take sides, otherwise if I anger Yun Zhe it would harm our relationship." Jing Shu said.

One can tell this is Jing Shu's carefully considered opinion; Geng Tianhua and Sun Xuehua, finding it reasonable, went along with her.

The next day.

As usual, Xiao Ming went to the kitchen to prepare a refined breakfast for the several children, and the children ate with great delight.

"Dad, you were amazing yesterday."

Yun Zhe said while eating: "Over the years of dating Jing Shu, every time I went to her house her parents were quite nice to me, but I always had an inexplicable feeling of discomfort."

"From when you treated their family to a meal to giving gifts, I instantly realized it was about money and confidence."

Yun Zhe felt this deeply; since his father appeared, he has repeatedly given surprises to him and his two siblings.

He feels grateful to Xiao Ming from the bottom of his heart.

The three siblings can now live affluent lives without lacking food or drink, and he can feel his spine straighten at the Geng family— all of this is thanks to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming nodded indifferently.

He understands his son's feelings.

He too had once lived in poverty; often he felt he lacked even the confidence to straighten his back.

In the end, it's all because of lacking money.

He has experienced that heartache; all, in the future, he will not let his few children feel helpless again.

Being looked down upon by one's partner's family.

Being unable to hold one's head up in front of friends.

Actually, last night's banquet, Xiao Ming did it on purpose.

When he first wanted to meet Jing Shu, he already sent out such valuable gifts, including many for Jing Shu's parents as well.

What he wanted to do was just to show off his wealth.

He wanted to tell the Geng family that he is very wealthy, and marrying his son would be no mistake.

After finishing breakfast, Yun Zhe went to the company.

Yuchun and Jingrou, meanwhile, became idle people.

Jingrou had been fired by her previous company, while Yuchun's work had originally been just selling odds and ends on a live-streaming platform.

Just opening for two or three hours a day is enough.

After finishing work, Wen Yuchun happily ran to Xiao Ming's side and said, "Dad, while I was streaming, someone actually gave me a lot of money gifts. I checked the records, and it's probably over a hundred thousand."

"Is that so? That's great." Xiao Ming happily agreed,

In fact, the person Yun Zhe was talking about is him.

His newly registered account, when he's free, he goes to the livestream room to look at his daughter, and by the way brushes some gifts, which can let his daughter find enough confidence and also boost popularity.

At this moment, Wen Jingrou was just idling in her own bedroom, surfing the net.

She found on the King the gift that her father had given her and her sisters yesterday; as a result, the search result frightened her.
