Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 79 The Mother-in-Law's Divine Assistance (Part 2)

After hanging up the phone, the atmosphere in the private room became somewhat quiet.

The main problem is that everyone is at a loss for words. In 2013, the average housing price in Shanghai was only around 26000 yuan per square meter.

2000 million...that's enough to buy 7 to 8 houses, right?
Even if I do nothing but collect rent every month, I won't be bad off.

Judging from Xiao Chen's tone, it seems that the 2000 million yuan didn't even catch his eye.
Ms. Wu Lian wanted to find out how much money Chen Yan earned in a year and whether he faced any financial pressure in buying a house in Shanghai with cash.
But now it seems that buying a house outright is just a piece of cake for Xiao Chen.

In fact, many mothers-in-law in China prefer that the man has a stable job, preferably a civil servant, followed by a teacher or doctor with a formal position.

After all, in business, you never know what tomorrow will bring.

But that applies to small businesses!
What kind of business and scale must a company have to be to raise 2000 million in funding?

What's more, the company's boss is a college student; this should be on the news.

Jiang Zhihui and Wu Lian ate their food while secretly making plans.

"Oh my, my daughter has such good taste! The boyfriend she found is not only good-looking, but also so capable. He can be considered a real golden bachelor. After they get married, half of every penny the company earns will go to Xinxin."

Wu Lian was lost in thought.

"Isn't this Xiao Chen a bit too outstanding? Will Xin Xin be bullied if she's with him?"

Jiang Zhihui was also pondering silently in his heart.

He was a mid-level leader in the tobacco bureau, with a decent salary, and had met many wealthy bosses. But without exception, all of them liked to play the game of keeping the home fires burning while having affairs on the side!

"But Xiao Chen doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like that?"

At this time.

Seeing the somewhat silent atmosphere, Chen Yan casually asked, "Auntie, what did you just ask me?"

"Oh, nothing."

Wu Lian shook her head and said, "By the way, Xiao Chen, is the girl who just called you an employee of your company?"

"Oh."

Chen Yan nodded: "She is my secretary."

Chen Yan naturally referred to the company's finance officer as his secretary.

"..."

Wu Lian was at a loss for words for a moment.

She always felt there was a faint "forced" smell in the private room, but she couldn't quite put her finger on where the smell was coming from.

You might think Xiao Chen is showing off, but it doesn't seem like he is.

He was just being polite when he answered my question.

So she simply changed the subject, "Xiao Chen, how long have you been with Xin Xin?"

“It’s been half a year,” Chen Yan replied without hesitation.

He had discussed this issue with Jiang Zhixin, so his answer was straightforward.

"Are you still living on campus, or do you live off-campus?"

On the surface, this is just a casual greeting, but the real intention is probably to ask, "Have you bought a house in Hangzhou yet?"

"Auntie, I'm still living at school now. I plan to buy a big apartment in Hangzhou after I graduate."

After listening, Wu Lian nodded in agreement:

"Yes, it's good to buy it sooner rather than later. Her dad often says that housing prices will continue to rise. We've been considering buying an apartment for Xinxin in Hangzhou recently, so she won't have to rent an apartment by herself."

"By the way, Xiao Chen, have you been to the apartment she's renting now?"

"Yeah, I've been there."

Chen Yan nodded, then casually added, "Sometimes I come back late and miss the dorm curfew, so I stay at Zhixin's place for the night."

He wasn't wrong about that; Chen Yan did indeed sleep at Jiang Zhixin's place for a few nights, but he always slept on the sofa.

But Jiang Zhihui and Wu Lian didn't think so!

The apartment my daughter rents only has one bedroom and one bed. Plus, the two of them are already a couple. What might happen when a man and a woman sleep together alone? Do you even need to think about it?
After Chen Yan finished speaking, there was a moment of silence at the dinner table.

Jiang Zhihui and Wu Lian exchanged a glance, then immediately looked at their daughter.

Jiang Zhixin also noticed the grammatical error in the sentence, her pretty face flushed red, and she kicked Chen Yan hard under the table with her high heels.

Everyone knows how painful it is when someone's heel is stepped on by a high heel.

Chen Yan withstood the blow head-on. Although it really hurt a lot, his expression didn't change.

However, this scene, as seen by Jiang Zhihui and Wu Lian, was tantamount to confirming certain things directly.

Her daughter's reaction was just a little embarrassed and annoyed, but she did not refute Chen Yan's words.

This proves that Chen Yan was not lying; he did indeed spend the night at his daughter's house, and more than once!
Jiang Zhihui's eyes instantly became complicated, filled with helplessness and desolation.

He silently picked up his glass and took a sip.

The once mellow and sweet liquor is now incredibly bitter.

Wu Lian's reaction was slightly less intense. Although she initially found it a bit hard to accept, upon reflection, she realized that the two had been together for half a year, and such a relationship was not unreasonable.

Another moment passed.

Seeing that they had almost finished eating the food on the table, Chen Yan got up and went to the front desk to pay the bill.

Jiang Zhihui and Wu Lian had no objection to his decision to pay the bill.

In their eyes, since the two children had already reached that point, Chen Yan was practically a son-in-law of the Jiang family. It was no big deal for a son-in-law to treat everyone to a meal.

Fortunately, the meal wasn't expensive; it cost less than 1000 yuan for four people, which was still within Chen Yan's budget.

When Chen Yan finished paying the bill and returned to the private room, Jiang Zhixin and her family were already packing their clothes and preparing to leave.

When Wu Lian saw Chen Yan return, she blurted out, "Little Chen, why don't you stay at my house tonight? You can go back after breakfast tomorrow morning."

Wu Lian hadn't originally planned for Chen Yan to stay overnight, but considering how far he and her daughter had progressed, it was only right and proper to invite him to stay at her home for the night before he left.

However, Jiang Zhixin was displeased when Ms. Wu said this: "No, Mom, which room will he sleep in at my house?" Jiang Zhixin's house is a 140-square-meter three-bedroom apartment with two master bedrooms.

Although there are three rooms, the third bedroom has been converted into a study as it is not usually used for sleeping, leaving only the two master bedrooms as sleeping rooms.

One was Jiang Zhihui and Wu Lian's room, and the other was Jiang Zhixin's boudoir.

When Wu Lian heard Jiang Zhixin say that, she thought her daughter was shy, so she teased her:
"He's your boyfriend, of course he'll sleep in your room. What's wrong? Don't tell Mom that Xiao Chen is an actor you hired, okay?"

"Uh...no, Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Haha, Mom's just teasing you. Why are you so nervous?"

As she spoke, Wu Lian took her daughter's hand and walked outside, saying, "Xiao Chen, what are you standing there for? Let's go."

"Oh, here it comes."

Chen Yan responded, his voice sounding somewhat excited.

Hey!

The more I look at my cheap mother-in-law, the more pleasing she becomes.

……

Since Chen Yan and Lao Jiang had both drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and Ms. Wu Lian did not have a driver's license.

So, in the end, Jiang Zhixin acted as the driver, Chen Yan sat in the passenger seat, and Jiang Zhihui and Wu Lian sat in the back.

15 minute later.

A white Audi A4 drove into a residential community called "City Star".

After parking the car, Jiang Zhixin took off her flat shoes for driving and put on her high heels before opening the car door and getting out.

Meanwhile, Chen Yan and Wu Lian were chatting and laughing together, while Jiang Zhihui stood behind Wu Lian with a somewhat stiff expression.

"Xiao Chen, from now on, make yourself at home and don't feel awkward."

"Okay, Auntie."

"The Lunar New Year is next month, you must come to my house during the Spring Festival!"

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll definitely come."

For some reason, Jiang Zhixin felt that Chen Yan's fawning expression meant he wasn't up to anything, so she stepped forward, kicked him in the calf, and said irritably:
"What are you all chattering about? Let's go!"

"Hey, hey, Xinxin, how many times have I told you not to hit people? Look at you, you're so old and you're not even half as sensible as Xiao Chen..."

"Stop, stop, Mom, stop nagging."

Before Wu Lian could finish speaking, Jiang Zhixin impatiently interrupted her.

Seeing this, Chen Yan immediately reassured her, "It's okay, Auntie, Zhixin's kick didn't hurt at all."

"Oh dear, Xiao Chen, you've been too lenient with this girl. You've been wronged."

"Auntie, I'm not wronged at all."

Jiang Zhixin got goosebumps all over listening to Chen Yan's witty remarks. She glared at him and then quickly walked towards the elevator.

The group of four took the elevator to the 20th floor.

The apartment building has a layout of two units per floor, a layout that was only found in high-end residential buildings in 2013.

At the door of room 2001, Jiang Zhixin gently pressed her slender white fingers on the fingerprint lock. After the fingerprint was successfully recognized, she pushed the door open with a click.

Chen Yan walked into the room and looked around.

The house is decorated in a modern Chinese style, with warm yellow light shining down from the Chinese-style chandelier on the ceiling, illuminating the entire living room.

The wooden sofa features simple, flowing lines and is paired with elegant cushions. A few dried flowers are arranged in a blue-and-white porcelain vase next to the coffee table, exuding a subtle and refined charm.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, you can see the night view of Shanghai, with bustling streets and flashing neon lights creating a magnificent picture.

As soon as Wu Lian entered the room, she tugged at her husband's sleeve and led him towards the bedroom: "Xiao Chen, we're old and go to bed early, so we won't disturb you young people."

Chen Yan knew that she wanted to give him and Jiang Zhixin some space, so he smiled and nodded, saying "Okay".

After Wu Lian and her husband went into the bedroom, only Chen Yan and Jiang Zhixin remained in the living room.

The warm yellow light diffused almost imperceptibly, like a thin veil enveloping the two of them.

Chen Yan stood there, his gaze unconsciously falling on Jiang Zhixin.

Jiang Zhixin noticed someone's gaze, and her expression became a little unnatural.

"My God, how did we end up bringing him home out of the blue?"

"It's all my mom's fault for talking nonsense, and this bastard is shameless too. When someone invites you over, it's just a polite gesture, don't you know how to refuse?!"

Jiang Zhixin grew angrier the more she thought about it, but since things had come to this, she couldn't think of any good solutions. She could only glare fiercely at the man before turning and walking towards her bedroom without looking back.

"Hey, wait for me! Let me change into some slippers first."

A voice came from behind her, but Jiang Zhixin ignored it and quickened her pace...

When Chen Yan changed her shoes and entered Jiang Zhixin's room, Jiang Zhixin had already gone into the bathroom to remove her makeup.

Chen Yan curiously looked around the room. Since this apartment had two master bedrooms, Jiang Zhixin's room was also a suite with a separate bathroom. The area connecting the bedroom and the bathroom was designed as an open walk-in closet.

In the center of the bedroom is a large princess bed, with a Simmons mattress covered with a set of silk bedding.

Chen Yan lay down without any hesitation, the delicate touch and faint fragrance making him feel relaxed and happy.

At the foot of the bed was a huge floor-length mirror, through which Chen Yan could clearly see his unseemly lying posture.

"Wow! This is a great thing. If I could force Teacher Jiang to look at himself in the mirror during sex..."

"Hehe, just thinking about it is exciting."
