Return of the Prodigious Son

Chapter 10 In time of prosperity, friends will be plenty

Zhang Shuyun's words just now were clearly heard bu Zhou Tian in the kitchen.

No matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn't bear it. No one like this could be his mother-in-law.

Zhang Shuyun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw Zhou Tian coming out.

No matter what, her daughter and Zhou Tian were still legally married. They had not even divorced yet, yet she had already found another husband for her daughter. It did not make sense.

"You're getting more and more unbridled. You don't even call me mom anymore, and you still dare to call my name?"

Zhang Shuyun stared at Zhou Tian. She wanted to seize the opportunity.

"Just based on what you just said, you are not qualified for me to call you Mom."

Zhou Tian said.

"You!"

Zhang Shuyun choked on his words. "What's wrong with what I just said? A good-for-nothing like you deserves to have my daughter?"

"Haha."

Zhou Tian just smiled coldly. He didn't want to argue with Zhang Shuyun anymore.

Zhang Shuyun didn't like Zhou Tian at all. Moreover, Zhou Tian talked back, which made her even angrier.

If only his daughter had accepted Qian Xiaofei's pursuit. Now, there was no need for her to worry about money anymore.

"Ruoxue, no matter what mom says, you go find Qian Xiaofei in the afternoon."

Zhang Shuyun persuaded Li Ruoxue.

"Mom, I really don't want to have anything to do with Qian Xiaofei."

Li Ruoxue was in a dilemma.

"It's none of your business. It's related to whether our family can rise again. Even if it's for your dad's soul in heaven, can you go there?"

Zhang Shuyun played the emotional card.

Li Ruoxue was silent.

It seemed that there was no other way.

She had long known that if she wanted to build the mess of Jinxiu Villa, she would have to spend at least ten million.

Her father had passed away. Given the current situation, it was almost impossible for her to go to the bank to approve the loan.

"My good daughter, how about I go with you this afternoon?"

Zhang Shuyun added while the iron was hot.

Li Ruoxue was really in a dilemma. Finally, she said, "Mom, don't force me. I will think about it."

"All right, all right. What a good opportunity for you, child."

Zhang Shuyun was exasperated at her daughter's failure to live up to her expectations. She turned around and went back to her room.

Li Ruoxue looked at Zhou Tian beside her, and there was a trace of guilt on her face.

She knew that what her mother said today was a great insult to Zhou Tian.

"Don't take my mother's words to heart."

Li Ruoxue whispered to Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian was very depressed, but he didn't expect that his cold wife would care about his feelings once.

"It's okay."

After that, he turned back to the kitchen and continued to make lunch.

Li Ruoxue couldn't tell how she felt in her heart. She knew that her mother had always been very harsh to Zhou Tian, but Zhou Tian had always been submissive. After more than three years, not every man could bear such humiliation.

She had not even given him the most basic life of husband and wife, which was really unfair to him.

How nice it would be if he wasn't such a wimp, alas...

Thinking of this, Li Ruoxue sighed softly. She felt confused now.

Just as she was letting his imagination run wild, the doorbell rang.

Li Ruoxue opened the door and was stunned.

Her aunt's family was standing at the door.

Ever since the misfortune of Li Ruoxue's family, basically all of her relatives had stopped contacting her family like the plague.

Including her aunt, Zhang Shuxiang's family, they hadn't contacted each other for almost three years.

It was not surprising that human relationships were so cruel.

Who would have thought that the entire family would come today with many gifts in their hands?

"Auntie, please come in."

Li Ruoxue invited Zhang Shuxiang and her family into the room. After all, she was her aunt.

"Hey, Ruoxue is really getting more and more beautiful. Is your mother at home?"

Zhang Shuxiang was full of smiles. After praising Li Ruoxue, she entered the house with her husband and daughter.

"She's at home."

Zhang Shuyun heard the noise and came out of the room. She was also very surprised that her sister would come to visit her for the first time.

After the greetings, Chen Ting, Zhang Shuxiang's daughter, smiled and said to Zhang Shuyun, "Auntie, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend Luo Gang, who is in charge of the senior management project in Huanyu International. We will get married at the end of this year."

When she said this, Chen Ting looked proud, holding hands with Luo Gang, which was like glue.

Luo Gang was well-dressed and greeted Zhang Shuyun and Li Ruoxue politely.

Zhang Shuyun felt upset when she saw Luo Gang was such a talented man.

Although Chen Ting was tall and beautiful, she was still far from her daughter, Li Ruoxue.

But looking at the son-in-law she found, and then at her own son-in-law Zhou Tian, there was simply no way to compare!

The more Zhang Shuyun thought about it, the angrier she became, and her face darkened.

Zhang Shuxiang loved to show off, so she asked Zhang Shuyun with a smile, "Sister, is Ruoxue’s husband not at home?"

Zhang Shuyun was so angry that she wanted to rush into the kitchen and beat up Zhou Tian.

If it weren't for her useless son-in-law, she wouldn't have lost so much face in the past few years.

"He is cooking in the kitchen." Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Zhang Shuyun said with embarrassment.

"Haha, let me see. Ruoxue is really lucky to find such a decent husband."

Chen Ting put her arms around Luo Gang's waist and looked at Li Ruoxue with a smile.

Everyone could tell that Chen Ting was speaking back. She was showing off her superiority in front of Li Ruoxue.

In fact, there was a reason for Chen Ting to do this. Li Ruoxue had been smarter and more beautiful than her since she was a child, and she had a strong desire to compare with others, so she had been unconvinced.

Li Ruoxue could tell that Chen Ting was mocking her. She did not fight back. After all, it was better to end this topic as soon as possible.

"Oh? Brother-in-law can cook. Let him out quickly so that I can get to know him."

Luo Gang pretended to be surprised and said.

"Yes, Shuyun, ask your son-in-law to meet Luo Gang and let them know each other."

Chen Jianghe, Chen Ting's father, said.

Zhang Shuyun knew that she couldn't run away for shame, so she shouted to the kitchen, "Come out and meet the guests, Zhou Tian!"

Everything could be heard in the kitchen by Zhou Tian. He didn't come out for a reason, because he knew that his mother-in-law always thought that he couldn't afford it, so when he could avoid it, he tried to avoid meeting guests.

Now she couldn't avoid it, so she had to come out of the kitchen.

Seeing the apron tied around Zhou Tian's waist and the smell of smoke coming out, Chen Ting burst into laughter.

Luo Gang had long heard from Chen Ting that Li Ruoxue's husband was a standard good-for-nothing. At this moment, seeing Zhou Tian, Luo Gang really despised him in his heart.

"This is Luo Gang, Sister Ting's boyfriend. Let's get to know each other."

Zhang Shuyun ordered Zhou Tian angrily.

Zhou Tian walked up to Luo Gang and stretched out his hand. "Hello, Mr. Luo. My name is Zhou Tian."

Luo Gang glanced at Zhou Tian's hand, which was still oily, and frowned.

"You're welcome."

Luo Gang said coldly, but he did not shake hands with Zhou Tian.

This was not polite at all. When they met for the first time, Zhou Tian took the initiative to shake hands, but Luo Gang left it there.

It was awkward.

Zhou Tian had to withdraw his hand and looked at Luo Gang. He found that Luo Gang was dressed well, but his frivolous eyes were lustful, and sometimes he inadvertently looked at Li Ruoxue.

This made Zhou Tian very unhappy, so he simply hid Li Ruoxue behind him and did not allow Luo Gang's eyes to harass her.

Luo Gang embarrassed Zhou Tian, and Zhang Shuyun saw it clearly. She was even more dissatisfied with Zhou Tian, thinking that this loser was really looked down upon everywhere.

In order not to be embarrassed, Zhang Shuyun said to Chen Ting, "Xiaoting, I heard that the best treatment in Huanyu International is in the province. Your boyfriend is in charge of senior management there, so he must have a high salary, right?"

"Haha, that's all. Gangzi's annual salary is only over 200,000." Chen Ting smiled proudly.

"He's really young and promising. Such a high annual salary," Zhang Shuyun said enviously.

"It's not bad. Our Gangzi has nothing else, but he is ambitious and capable."

Chen Ting said proudly, not forgetting to glance at Li Ruoxue.

Li Ruoxue knew that Chen Ting was showing off to her, but compared to Chen Ting's husband, she felt that she couldn't beat her, so she had to pretend that she didn't hear it.

"Xiaoting, I really envy you. You can make money yourself, and Luo Gang has made so much money. How good your life is! It's not as hard as my Ruoxue's life is. She's the only one who can make money to

support the family..."

Zhang Shuyun glared at Zhou Tian when she said that. She felt indignant in her heart.

"Shuyun, don't be pessimistic. The opportunity is coming, isn't it? Young Master Zhou is going to build a water park right across Jinxiu Villa. The villa that my brother-in-law left behind is now a treasure."

Zhang Shuxiang said with a smile.

Hearing that, Zhang Shuyun and Li Ruoxue looked at each other and understood everything.

It was no wonder that all the relatives who had not visited for three years had come. It was true that they had heard the news. Seeing that the Li family was about to rise, they had come over. It was so realistic.

"Yes, I'm really grateful to that Childe Zhou now. If I didn't have him, my family would never be able to stand up again. I just don't know where Childe Zhou is, or I would have to thank him in person!" Zhang Shuyun said excitedly.

" Aunt, Huanyu International is the property of Mr. Zhou's family. Luo Gang is the senior director of the project. Luo Gang is in charge of the project of the water park. Haha."

Chen Ting introduced proudly.

Upon hearing his words, Luo Gang felt a little flattered.

"I see. Luo Gang, have you met Childe Zhou?" Li Ruoxue asked Luo Gang curiously. After all, she had been curious about Childe Zhou for a long time and was grateful to him.

As soon as Luo Gang saw Li Ruoxue, he was fascinated by her beauty and temperament.

He made a comparison in his heart. Li Ruoxue was much stronger than Chen Ting.

Seeing that Li Ruoxue took the initiative to talk to him, his heart was extremely restless.

In order to show his superiority in front of Li Ruoxue, Luo Gang smiled slightly. He looked at Li Ruoxue and said, "I have more than met him. Last night, I was drinking with Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou was very low- key. When they clinked glasses, he always lowered his wine glass..."

Listening to this, Zhang Shuyun really admired Luo Gang.

It was a great honor to be able to drink with Mr. Zhou!

Li Ruoxue was also very envious in her heart. It seemed that the boyfriend Chen Ting found was really powerful. He could actually drink with Young Master Zhou.

Zhou Tian, who was standing by the side, was a bit confused and speechless. He stared at Luo Gang, who was bragging.

"Damn, the Childe of the Qian Family is shameless enough. This Luo Gang is even better than him. When did I drink with you?"
