The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.
Chapter 307 Boasting Without Thinking
After finally getting down on the ground, the little guy quickly snuggled into his wife's arms.
He complained that his mother had gotten water in his eyes and asked his wife to discipline his mother.
Gao Qinghe came out of the bathroom, shaking off the water, and heard this outrageous complaint. She pointed at the little girl, who immediately huddled in Old Lady Tian's arms, looking pitiful and dejected.
"You, you, I've told you so many times not to bite into watermelon directly, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, you've angered your mother, and even your wife won't protect you anymore," Grandma Tian said with a laugh.
"Luckily, I didn't get my new clothes dirty."
Jiang Qiyue knew he was in the wrong and stopped talking. Afraid that his mother would really punish him, he quickly grabbed his wife and aunt's hands and said, "Come on, let's go to my great-uncle's house to eat fish."
Gao Qinghe gave a soft snort, and the little girl's small body trembled immediately.
But she was soon attracted by the delicious-smelling fish at her great-uncle's house. Holding the fish tail that her great-aunt had given her, she ran excitedly to her mother, saying that she wanted to take it back and stick it on her bedside.
The fish tail smelled awful, and Gao Qinghe said with disgust, "Don't stick it on."
Seeing her daughter pouting, she softened and said, "Let your aunt dry it and make it into a specimen to paste in your notebook."
Jiang Qiyue was overjoyed and ran off to find her aunt.
Gao Chongyi returned from the provincial capital before the meal was officially served.
They brought back Gao Qingya's college admission notice, as well as the dolls and candies and cookies that Huang Ying had bought for her granddaughter.
Jiang Qiyue was practically celebrating the New Year, holding a doll in one arm and wrapping her arms around her grandfather's neck with the other, wanting to ride on a big horse.
His smug look made Gao Qinghe's hands itch to grab him.
Jiang Qiyue wasn't afraid at all, knowing her grandfather was around. Her mother only ever threatened her; she would never actually hit her.
However, she also knew when to stop while she was ahead. If her mother really got angry, even if her father came, it wouldn't make a difference.
The family sat together for a meal. The children didn't sit at the table, but Jiang Qiyue did. She brought over a small stool and sat down next to her grandfather, standing on tiptoe to pick up food and eating heartily.
He ate a couple of bites himself, but didn't forget to serve his grandfather and grandmother some food as well.
He even imitated an adult, speaking in a pretentious manner: "Eat more vegetables, they're good for your health."
How could anyone not adore such a quirky and clever little face?
Gao Chongyi asked his granddaughter in a high-pitched voice, "Yueyue, shall I feed you?"
"I want to eat by myself," Jiang Qiyue said, waving her hand in refusal to her grandfather.
Grandma Tian asked kindly, "Then, Madam, would you like to tuck Yueyue's big tail between your legs?"
The little girl thought to herself, "I already said I'd eat it myself, why are you adults still asking?" A little annoyed, she yelled, "No!"
Gao Qinghe said in a low voice, "Jiang Qiyue, how did your mother teach you to speak to your elders?"
Jiang Qiyue pouted and said to Grandma Tian, "Madam, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay, go ahead and eat, you eat by yourself."
Fearing her granddaughter would scold her little darling, Grandma Tian stopped disturbing the little one while he ate.
As the first college student in her family, Gao Qingya was almost carried away by the praise after just one meal.
After finishing the meal, he quickly left the gathering and took his younger siblings and niece out to play, just like the king of the kids he always was.
The adults sat in the courtyard enjoying the cool air and asked about Zheng Dong and Huang Ying's situation in the provincial capital.
Gao Chongyi said everything was fine; the newly contracted shopping mall project had already started construction and they were digging the foundation.
The old model still applies: Huang Ying is in charge of supervising the construction, and Zheng Dong is in charge of coordinating various aspects.
As for Zheng Bei, when the company had to move to the provincial capital last year due to project reasons, he withdrew his shares, intending to separate from his older brother and younger sister and lead his small team to continue working in the county town.
The project in the provincial capital involved a large investment and put a lot of financial pressure on Zhengbei. Unable to withstand the loan burden, Zhengbei wanted to withdraw his investment and go it alone. This led to a major argument between the three siblings last year.
Finally, Grandma Tian stepped in and strongly demanded that Zheng Bei not withdraw his shares and leave management to receive dividends, and the three siblings reconciled.
This was exactly what Zheng Bei wanted to do. He wasn't an adventurous person and lacked drive, making him easily content with the status quo.
After returning to the village, they farmed and raised fish, earning dividends. They also helped Huang Ying cultivate the abandoned fields, and the relationship between the three siblings actually improved.
Every time Zheng Dong comes back for a meal, he worries about the future of his nephews and nieces.
It's easy to talk about when they're young; they go to school, study, and take the college entrance exam.
The older one had stopped going to school long ago, so he took him to the provincial capital to broaden the horizons of the young man, determined to make his nephew more successful than his father.
With relaxed government policies and rapid urban construction in the past two years, Zheng Dong and Huang Ying's shell company has been transformed into a formally registered construction company.
Gao Chongyi and his wife are currently living apart. Gao Chongyi has winter and summer vacations, so he accommodates his wife more. Whenever he has free time, he goes to the provincial capital to be with his wife and help her with housework.
By the way, I'll bring my wife and brother-in-law to leverage the connections of the Gao and Huo families.
It would be foolish not to utilize resources.
Besides, if something is mutually beneficial, it's fine if it works out, but if it doesn't, it's good to make more friends.
Huang Ying was embarrassed, afraid that her mother-in-law would look down on her behavior.
Gao Chongyi said, "A businessman can't get by without thick skin."
After two years of experience, Gao Qinghe felt that her mother was becoming more and more like a female entrepreneur—she didn't even need to think before she started bragging.
That evening, as the father and daughter walked alone behind each other, Gao Qinghe jokingly asked her father:
"Dad, Mom is all alone in the city now, facing so many new temptations every day. Aren't you worried about her if you don't come with her?"
"So what?" Gao Chongyi said confidently, "I'm your mother's pillar of support."
"Really?" Gao Qinghe looked at her father with suspicion.
Gao Chongyi coughed twice, "Ahem, I'm still a little worried."
After all, there are so many young and strong men on the construction site, and they all release their hormones like crazy when they see a woman, wishing they could pounce on her.
If a couple has been married for decades and can't even have this much trust, they might as well get a divorce sooner rather than later.
Seeing her father's worried expression, Gao Qinghe patted his back and comforted him:
"You should roll it up too, let's work out our muscles and take good care of our bodies. I believe that with your face, even if my mom, who is obsessed with good looks, is seventy or eighty years old, she won't be able to escape your grasp."
After all, there are countless old men, but a handsome and cultured old man is one in a million.
Gao Chongyi glanced at his daughter with annoyance and asked her, "When is Xiao Hai coming to pick you up?"
Time flies! In the blink of an eye, the little one will be going to kindergarten.
Gao Qinghe calculated the date, "Next Tuesday."
There wasn't much to pack in the Jiang family's old house. The furniture and appliances in the new house were already prepared, so all I had to bring were some clothes, which I packed and sent in advance, so I could start off easily.
Gao Chongyi nodded and then asked, "Did your mother-in-law agree to go with you?"
Gao Qinghe shook her head. She hadn't expected that persuading her mother-in-law would become the most difficult thing during the moving process.
Gao Chongyi comforted her, saying, "You should talk to her patiently."
"Let's give it a try." Gao Qinghe didn't have high hopes. (End of Chapter)
