Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 206 [205] The Shock of the Future Mother-in-Law
"bang bang"

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Song Zhiyu glanced at Xu Jinhuan, who had finished hanging up the shoes, and said to him sideways, "Open it."

Xu Jinhuan knew who it was, so he went to open the door and saw Chen Xingzhu standing prettily outside. She was still wearing the same jeans and T-shirt she wore during the morning exam, but her expression seemed to have returned to the coldness she had when they first met, and even her clear and bright eyes had frozen again.

Upon seeing him, her icy gaze softened slightly. She smiled at him and then naturally followed him inside, greeting everyone in the living room, "Auntie~"

Song Xiaohui greeted them with a smile, "Please sit down, your mother is here."

"Ah."

Chen Xingzhu responded softly and sat down on the sofa next to Song Zhiyu. When Xiao Guai saw her, it had already jumped off the backrest. When it saw her sit down, it affectionately rubbed its head against her thigh.

'I want to mooch some too!'

Xu Jinhuan stood to the side, secretly envious. He hadn't even touched one yet; humans were inferior to cats.

Thinking about it, the image of Xie Wanqing holding Xiao Guai in her arms immediately came to mind again. Xu Jinhuan quickly calmed herself down to avoid overthinking.

Li Yunxue muttered in dissatisfaction, "Aren't you going to say hello to Mom?"

Chen Xingzhu stroked Xiao Guai, glanced at her, then at Kong Lingyu who was looking over, and said with her head down, "I saw it."

Kong Lingyu smiled again and said, "Didn't you finish your exams? You haven't been home to visit for so long. Yunxue has come to call you home for dinner."

Li Yunxue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sister, if you like cats, we can keep one at home. I promise I'll play with it well and won't be as immature as I was when I was little."

Chen Xingzhu shook her head and said, "That's your problem."

Li Yunxue asked, "What kind of cat should I get? Yours looks like a mixed breed, I'd like to buy a more expensive one."

Chen Xingzhu said, "Whatever you like is fine."

Although Li Yunxue is unreliable, there is Kong Lingyu and a housekeeper at home. As long as Li Yunxue doesn't go crazy again and abandon the cat, there's no way they won't be unable to take care of the cat.

Moreover, since it was none of her business, she couldn't be bothered to comment.

"How did Huanhuan do on her exam?"

Kong Lingyu asked Xu Jinhuan with a smile, "You must have done well on the exam, right?"

"good."

Xu Jinhuan is fairly satisfied with Chen Xingzhu's current relationship with her family, which is better than the hurt she suffered living together in her previous life. As for Kong Lingyu and the other two's attitude, that will depend on her own abilities.

If he really does have billions in assets, he won't have to worry about others bowing down to him. He's about to enter his senior year of high school, so the next year should be focused on stability.

The group chatted awkwardly for a while. Just as Kong Lingyu was about to leave, Li Yunxue took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Song Xiaohui, asking, "Auntie, aren't you going to work today?"

Song Xiaohui smiled and said, "I'm not going to work anymore, I'll rest at home."

Knowing that Xu Jinhuan's family was not well-off, Kong Lingyu assumed that Song Xiaohui and her husband's jobs wouldn't be good either. To avoid making them uncomfortable, she had always avoided such topics. Upon hearing this, she finally asked, "Are you planning to change jobs, or are you planning to stay home full-time?"

If you need to find a job, she can help. Whether it's her own company or another organization, she can always find a relaxed and comfortable position.

"Rest at home for a while,"

Song Xiaohui said with a smile, "I'll go back to work after the kids go to university."

Kong Lingyu felt slightly puzzled. Regardless of her preconceived notions or her impressions of Xu Jinhuan's home, Xu Jinhuan's family was not well-off. Their situation should have improved recently, but they should still face financial pressure.

Under these circumstances, why would Song Xiaohui choose to resign and stay at home?
Could something have happened, or is he unwell?
Kong Lingyu is a businesswoman and is not lacking in shrewdness. However, Chen Xingzhu has been with her and her mother for many years and can guess what she is thinking. He said softly, "Xu Jinhuan made a game, and last month the advertising revenue was more than 70,000."

Kong Lingyu looked at her daughter, unable to fully understand the meaning of those words for a moment.

Game development, advertising revenue?

More than 70,000?
Li Yunxue was also stunned. She looked at her sister, then at Xu Jinhuan, her eyes widening slightly, and asked him, "What game were you playing?"

Kong Lingyu knew Chen Xingzhu's personality and was certain that her hearing was fine and there was virtually no possibility of her misspoken or misheard, but she still wanted to confirm it, suspecting that something might have gone wrong.

Otherwise, wouldn't that mean Xu Jinhuan, who is still in his second year of high school, earned more than 70,000 yuan last month?
Hearing Li Yunxue's question, she also looked at Xu Jinhuan.

Xu Jinhuan smiled slightly, about to casually and naturally show off, when Song Zhiyu next to him curled her lips and said, "Flappy Bird, the Chinese name is 'The Early Bird Catches the Clumsy One,' you or one of your classmates should have played it..." "Huh?"

Li Yunxue was taken aback. "I've played it before..."

She took her phone out of her pocket, quickly unlocked it, found the icon, and showed it to Xu Jinhuan, "I played several rounds yesterday... Is this the game you made?"

Kong Lingyu frowned slightly. She had noticed the little game that Li Yunxue was playing, but she never thought that it was actually made by Xu Jinhuan. She also never expected that such a little game could generate more than 70,000 yuan in advertising revenue per month!
This is almost equal to their factory's revenue last month!

And this is Xu Jinhuan's income!
If this happens every month, wouldn't that amount to nearly a million a year?
Although Chen Xingzhu was of a calm and gentle nature, seeing how Xu Jinhuan could surprise Kong Lingyu and Li Yunxue so much, she still felt a surge of pride and honor.

"This is all thanks to Xingzhu."

Xu Jinhuan's boastful words were cut short by Song Zhiyu, so he had to change the subject, "When I registered my developer account, she even paid the 688 yuan for me. It was supposed to be considered her investment, and I was supposed to give her a share of the profits, but she absolutely refused to accept it..."

Neither Song Xiaohui nor Song Zhiyu knew about this. Xu Jinhuan hadn't mentioned it, nor had Chen Xingzhu. Upon hearing this, Song Zhiyu secretly pouted, somewhat dissatisfied with his act of borrowing money from Chen Xingzhu.

Song Xiaohui didn't blame her son for not asking her for money, nor did she feel ashamed that her son was saying these things in front of Kong Lingyu, because she knew that her son hadn't told her before. She smiled and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? You paid for it, so you should get a share."

Seeing that he had steered the conversation toward her, Chen Xingzhu felt a sweet warmth in her heart and smiled gently, "It's good that he returned the money to me."

Song Zhiyu continued, "So you mean he still hasn't paid back the money?"

Chen Xingzhu smiled with her lips pursed.

"I'll pay you back as soon as the advertising fee arrives this month."

Xu Jinhuan only made empty promises; he wouldn't easily sever this bond unless he got married or used it.

"You're so amazing!"

Li Yunxue looked Xu Jinhuan up and down, her expression a mixture of surprise and disbelief. "How do you know how to make games?"

"Just learn it yourself."

"awesome!"

Li Yunxue looked somewhat admiring. "I don't even know how to play the game. Several of my classmates are playing it. I'll help you promote it in our class group and the school group later..."

Song Zhiyu frowned slightly, keenly sensing that something was wrong with her, and turned to look at Chen Xingzhu.

Chen Xingzhu was also looking at Li Yunxue, and then seemed to notice Song Zhiyu's gaze, turning her head to meet her eyes.

Song Zhiyu smiled and said, "Sister Xingzhu, you haven't been home for so long. Aren't you going home to visit soon?"

Chen Xingzhu met her gaze, smiled faintly, then turned to Kong Lingyu and asked, "Shall we leave now?"

"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer today."

Kong Lingyu was initially worried that Chen Xingzhu wouldn't go home, but when she brought it up herself, she was delighted. So she got up and said goodbye to Song Xiaohui, "Thank you for taking care of Chen Xingzhu. Let's have a meal together another day."

"No need to be so polite,"

Kong Lingyu was pampered and a top beauty, so even though Song Xiaohui was a few years older, she still felt a bit intimidated by her.

Especially since Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu seem to be getting along very well, and the two families may become in-laws in the future, but their own family's conditions are far inferior to the other party's, which puts even more pressure on them.

Her son's earnings, especially the sudden surge in advertising revenue last month, gave her more confidence when facing Kong Lingyu this time, so she didn't have to rely entirely on putting on a brave face.

She was originally too embarrassed to boast about her son making money, but Chen Xingzhu helped her. Kong Lingyu's shocked reaction gave her more confidence and made her more composed. She smiled and saw Kong Lingyu and her two daughters out of the house.

Li Yunxue seemed a little reluctant to leave. Following Chen Xingzhu out of the house, she turned back to say goodbye, "Goodbye, Auntie; goodbye, Sister Zhizhi."

She paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Jinhuan and waved again: "Goodbye, Brother Jinhuan."

Goodbye, Brother Jinhuan~

After closing the door, Song Zhiyu couldn't help but pout, mimicking Li Yunxue's tone, but even more coquettish and reluctant, with a slightly sarcastic tone: "I'm so reluctant to part... How can she even say that, calling him 'Brother Jinhuan'..."

　I wonder if this title will be appealing, haha~
