Chapter 138 The Son-in-Law Returns to His Wife's Home

The next day, Wang Dao and Le Huizhen returned to her parents' home with bags and packages of things.

Mr. and Mrs. Le were all smiles, feeling both happy and heartbroken as they looked at the things their children had brought.

"Ado, it's good that you're back. Don't bring so much stuff."

"You're still young, save your money for the future."

Le Huizhen's younger sister, Le Huihui, began by saying:
"Mom, my brother-in-law has his own views on spending."

"According to what you said, my sister's car has to be returned; most people can't afford to maintain that car."

Le's mother was at a loss for what to do.

That's right. The Lotus sports car that Wang Dao gave to Le Huizhen cost more in fuel alone than Le Huizhen's salary in a month. Most people really couldn't afford to maintain it.

Wang Dao smiled and said:

“Auntie, we know. Ah Zhen is busy renovating the house right now, so she doesn’t come back often. Once the renovation is finished, she’ll have more time to come back.”

Only then was Le's mother happy.

Le Huizhen greeted them:

"I brought a lot of things, come and help quickly."

Lok Wai-wai and Lok Wai-kwong (Lok Wai-chun's younger brother) quickly stepped forward to help.

Every time Le Huizhen goes home, she brings back nice things for her younger brother and sister; the two of them are more enthusiastic than anyone else.

Wang Daoan comfortably accompanied Mr. Le while he drank tea. The old man said to him:
"What your aunt said is truly based on experience."

"You can earn money now, but you still need to save more. Don't spend all your money; you need to have savings."

"You'll understand when you reach my age. With elderly parents to care for and young children to raise, what's the most important thing?"

"money!"

"When you need money, all the talk of family ties and brotherhood is meaningless."

"Only money is real."

"Having money in your hands gives you confidence."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

“Uncle, what you said is a wise saying, just like what my company’s boss said.”

All Liang Kun talks about is money.

That's pretty much what they're saying.

Wang Dao vaguely remembered that someone had said something similar before he transmigrated.

That person seems to be a literary giant.

When someone achieves great success and fame, and can utter such words, it is a reflection on life.

A wise person learns to utilize the lessons others have learned through hardship, rather than trying to validate those lessons by suffering setbacks themselves.

A shift in the topic:
"Uncle, do you need money at home?"

"I can provide as much support as you need."

Dad waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, we don't need money at home. We're just worried that you won't be able to save any money you have."

Wang Dao nodded with a smile.

If Le's father needs money, Wang Dao will definitely help him to the best of his ability.

He married Lok Wai-chun, and the two families naturally became one.

But I wouldn't let myself go broke just for the sake of the Le family.

However, having said that, there are over 100 million in cash lying in the system space right now, so taking out a few hundred thousand to support the Le family is still feasible.

Mr. Le's response made him feel comfortable; it was just a reminder, not an attempt to take advantage of his son-in-law.

As Le Huihui tried on the clothes that Le Huizhen had brought back, she asked curiously:

"Brother-in-law, is my sister busy with renovations?"

"So where do you live?"

Wang Dao asked curiously:

"Didn't Ah Zhen say anything?"

Le Huizhen shook her head:

"Why are you talking about this?"

"The house isn't finished yet, and I'm already spinning like a top. If I tell them, they'll just keep messing things up for me."

Le Huihui shouted:

"How could we possibly cause you trouble?"

Le Huizhen chuckled coldly.

Does she not know what kind of people her younger siblings are?

They all love gossip.

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have become a news anchor and been running the news every day.

Le Huiguang asked:
"Sister, do you have a place to stay now? Why don't you go home and stay there?"

Le Huizhen rolled her eyes at him:
"With so many people in the family, where will they find a place to stay?"

“We have a place to stay now, at your brother-in-law’s house.”

Le Huihui asked curiously:

"Didn't you say the house was being renovated?"

Le Huizhen casually said:

"It's a new house being renovated, not an old one."

Le Huihui said loudly:

"What? You bought a new house?"

Le Huizhen explained:

“Your brother-in-law’s house was passed down from my parents-in-law. Although it’s a thousand-square-foot mansion, it’s quite old.”

"It feels too small for the two of us."

Le Huihui covered her mouth, then couldn't help but say:

"Sister, listen to what you're saying!"

"You still complain that a thousand-square-foot mansion is too small for two people?"

"Our house is at most 80 square feet, and there are five people living there. What's so special about that?"

Wang Dao looked at Le Huihui with considerable surprise, noticing that his younger sister was easily agitated.

Lok Wai-chun shrugged and told the truth:
“Your brother-in-law spoils me a lot. He bought me lots of clothes, shoes, hats, jewelry and the like.”

Le Huihui asked blankly:

"What does this have to do with the house?"

Le Huizhen Verdun Circuit:
"There's no special place to store them, so we need to renovate the new house!"

Le Huihui said angrily:
"Le Huizhen!"

"Look at what you're saying!!"

"You're complaining about a thousand-square-foot mansion just because it doesn't have enough walk-in closet?"

"How abominable!"

Le Huiguang was very perceptive and immediately grasped the key point:
"Sis, even a thousand-square-foot mansion can't fit your walk-in closet, so how big is your new house?"

Le Huihui realized this too late:
"Yes, how big is the new house?"

Le Huizhen glanced at Wang Dao:
"Ado, may I speak?"

The Kingly Way is inexplicable:

"We'll be moving into a new house after we get married. Don't you want to invite your family to see it? Or stay with us for a while?"

Le Huizhen chuckled:
"I wanted to tell them after the renovation was finished."

Le Huihui put down the clothes and quickly went to Le Huizhen's side.
"Sis, tell me quickly, how big is your new house?"

"It's not just a thousand feet, is it?"

Le Huizhen smiled and said:
"more than!"

Le Huihui asked:
How big is it?

Le Huizhen covered her mouth and chuckled softly:

"A large, single-level apartment, tens of thousands of square feet!"

The whole family was stunned.

Le Huihui asked, trembling:

"Ten thousand...ten thousand feet?"

"real or fake?"

"How much does that cost?"

Le Huizhen casually said:

"Adao has connections; he spent five million, I suppose."

hiss!
The sound of them inhaling in unison changed the way they looked at Wang Dao.

They knew Wang Dao was rich, but they didn't expect him to be this rich.

It actually cost five million to buy a house!
The kingly way is helpless:
"Wouldn't it have been better if you had told your family about this sooner?"

Le Huizhen whispered:

"I don't want to cause trouble for myself."

Wang Dao thought to himself, "What trouble could this possibly cause?"
Le Huihui was already chattering away:
"Where did you buy the house? A 10,000-square-foot mansion, is that a large single-level apartment? What style of decoration are you looking for? I've heard European style is nice."

In just one minute, the little girl rattled off more than two hundred words like a machine gun!

Wang Dao was dumbfounded.

Le Huizhen looked at him helplessly and gave him a look: "See? I knew it would be like this."

Not to mention Le Huihui, everyone in the Le family almost went crazy.

Le's mother, Le Huihui, and Le Huiguang all surrounded Le Huizhen, urging her to say more.

At least Mr. Yue had some restraint and spoke with Wang Dao:
"Ah Dao, you really bought a 10,000-square-foot mansion?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Yes, but it can't really be considered a purchase."

Le's father said in surprise:
"This doesn't cost any money?"

Wang Dao explained:
“I recognize some of the people in the building. A boss urgently needs money to keep his business running, so he entrusted me to sell the building.”

"That house is considered my commission."

Dad seemed to be deep in thought:
"I have two friends who say that real estate sales are very lucrative, but selling a house isn't easy, is it?"

Wang Dao sighed:

"Yes, but the location of this house is excellent, and it's easy to sell. The only difficulty is finding a suitable buyer."

“I was lucky that I was able to sell all the houses for him that same day, so the house ended up being mine.”

Dad was even more curious:
Where is your house located?

Wang Dao was speechless:

“Ah Zhen doesn’t tell her family anything.”

Mr. Le laughed and said:
“Ah Zhen is a host, so she has a lot of information. But as you know, for someone like her to stay in a long-term position, she has to keep certain secrets. Otherwise, she won’t last long.”

Wang Dao nodded repeatedly:

"That's right!"

"Actually, Ah Zhen and I live in Repulse Bay."

Mr. Le froze instantly, his facial expression becoming somewhat out of control:
"Repulse Bay?!"

Le Huihui screamed loudly:
"Sister, is your new house in Repulse Bay?"

Can you see the sea?

Lok Wai-chun was very pleased:
"A super unbeatable ocean view room, do you think it actually has an ocean view?"

Mom was impatient:
"Really?"

"Is it renovated? What style is it? How long will it take to finish? When can we go take a look?"

Le Huizhen said helplessly:

"For Chinese-style decoration, it takes at least three months to complete."

"And this is under the condition that there is sufficient funding," Le Huihui said with dissatisfaction.

"Sis, why use Chinese style for decoration? European style would be so much better, or American style would be fine too, why use Chinese style?"

"How old-fashioned."

Le Huizhen sneered:

"Chinese-style decoration is outdated? Who told you that?"

"Don't listen to the nonsense of some people."

“Look at those homes with European-style decor; looking back now, they’re all outdated.”

Le Huihui wanted to offer some more advice:
“My brother-in-law spent five million to buy the house, and after decorating it in a Chinese style, it almost became two million.”

"If you can spend five million to buy a house, then spend another two or three million to renovate it better."

"We can't let the house value drop, can we?"

Mother Yue scolded:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Do you think money falls from the sky?"

"Do you still think your brother-in-law's money grows on trees?"

Wang Dao thought to himself, "This house really seems to have been blown in by a strong wind."

It came from Long Fei.

Le Huizhen looked at Le Huihui and said seriously:
"I told you to study hard, but you wouldn't listen. Now you're showing your weakness."

"It's fine to just talk casually at home, but don't strike up conversations with random people when you go out."

Le Huihui looked completely bewildered.
"What did I say?"

Le Huizhen said slowly:
"I can complete the European or American style of decoration that you admire with just two million."

"But Chinese-style decoration...it would cost me six or seven million!"

"It's not certain that it will be completed."

Le Huihui couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Le Huizhen shrugged:

What do you think Chinese-style interior design is all about?

"The palace!"

“Those furniture screens all have to be custom-made.”

"All the wood used is of the highest quality, such as small-leaf sandalwood."

"The decorations in my home are all antiques and calligraphy."

"Every three years, a specialist needs to come and maintain it."

"European style decoration, American style decoration, etc., the popular styles change every ten years."

"But Chinese-style decoration will never go out of style."

"This kind of renovation is fine except for being a bit expensive."

Le Huiguang's mouth also gaped open:

"Doesn't that mean you spent five million to buy a house, and then spent another five million on renovations?"

"This is way too... extravagant!"

Le Huizhen sighed:
"There's nothing we can do; all the neighbors in that building are celebrities."

"If you don't decorate your home nicely, you won't have the confidence to invite people over."

Le's mother's voice trembled slightly:

Where is your neighborhood located?

Le Huizhen shrugged:

"Repulse Bay."

"One window offers a panoramic view of the sea, with a clear view of the cruise ships in Repulse Bay and the Hong Kong skyline."

"The view from the window is absolutely stunning."

Le Huihui screamed:

"Sister, I want to go see!"

Le Huiguang immediately echoed:
"Sister, I want to go too."

Le Huizhen glared at them:
"I knew you guys were going to cause me trouble!"

Mother Yue endured it all, but finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"Ah Zhen, where is the house? Shall we go take a look?"

Le Huizhen was in a dilemma. She could refuse her younger siblings without hesitation, but it wouldn't be easy to refuse her mother.

Wang Dao extended an invitation with a smile:
"It's the weekend today, how about we go check it out together?"

Le Huihui screamed loudly:
"My brother-in-law is the best."

Le Huizhen immediately said:

"Let's go then."

The family got into the car. Luckily, they didn't drive a Lotus today; they drove a Mercedes.

Mr. Lok also has his own car, one for the young people and one for the elders, and they headed straight for Repulse Bay.

The workers are off work on weekends, which makes it convenient for them to visit.

The Yue family members were stunned when they entered the room.

This house is so big!

Mr. Le glanced at Wang Dao and said:

"This isn't just a 10,000-square-foot mansion, is it?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Fifteen thousand feet."

Mr. Le exclaimed in shock:

"Ten thousand feet?"

Le Huizhen said proudly:

"This is the eighteenth floor."

"The best building in the entire complex."

There are only two households on this floor.

"One household is ours, and the other household is Brother Kun, Adao's boss."

Wang Dao smiled:
“Ah Zhen, it’s better to call him Mr. Li in front of your uncle.”

Le Huizhen immediately understood the meaning of the kingly way.

Handsome Kun is very famous in the underworld, but Cola's father is not a member of the underworld, so it's best not to tell him this kind of thing, lest he be frightened.

Li Sheng is more suitable than Liang Kun.

Le Huihui felt completely dizzy:

"It takes me several minutes to walk around here. Isn't this place too big for just the two of you?"

Wang Dao smiled and said:

"A bigger room is better, otherwise where will Ah Zhen put her walk-in closet in the future?"

Le Huihui shouted:

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Who needs such a large walk-in closet?"

Wang Dao smiled wryly:
“In the house we live in now, there’s almost no place left to store Ah Zhen’s clothes and hats.”

The Yue family immediately fell silent.

Le's father and mother exchanged a glance, both surprised and delighted.

Le Huihui couldn't help but say to Wang Dao:
"Brother-in-law, how long have you two been dating?"

"It hasn't even been a little over a month, okay?"

"Her clothes and hats are almost overflowing?"

You can't spoil her like that.

Le Huizhen cursed:
"You brat, I've spoiled you for nothing."

"Whenever your brother-in-law buys me something, don't I share some with you?"

"Are you trying to rebel?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"It wasn't all bought by me."

"Ah Zhen is a host, and changing outfits frequently is a basic professional requirement."

"Otherwise, people will question the professionalism of TVB Jade."

Le Huizhen nodded repeatedly:
“Ado is right.”

"Most of the things in my rented apartment are clothes."

"As long as I'm still a host, I'll need even more clothes."

"You only see my glamorous appearance, but little do you know, some of those clothes I've only worn once."

She glared at Le Huihui again with hatred.

"You brat, every time you come home, the clothes you bring back are like brand new clothes."

"You've benefited the most from me, even more than Mom and Dad."

"And then you betrayed me!"

Le Huihui obediently admitted defeat:
"Sister, I was wrong!"

Le Huizhen said bitterly:

"you are wrong?"

"I need to consider whether I should reduce my investment in you."

Le Huihui was horrified:
"No!"

Le Huizhen's hand had already reached under her ribs, and then with a twist, Le Huihui's face instantly turned as bitter as a gourd.

Wang Dao found it interesting and discovered that Le Huihui was a very clever girl.

Knowing that Yue Huizhen was angry, he didn't shout or get upset when he was pinched, letting Yue Huizhen vent her anger.

Wang Dao laughed and said:

“Ah Zhen, we’re all family. It’s understandable that Ah Hui might say something wrong because she doesn’t know about your profession.”

"I think it's about time, shall we go get something to eat?"

Before Le Huizhen could reply, Wang Dao's phone rang:

"Inspector Chen? You're working overtime on the weekend instead of resting?"

"What big news?"

Le Huizhen's eyes lit up immediately:

"What news?"

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:
"We need to arrest a notorious international assassin at the airport. Are you interested, reporter Yue?"

Lok Wai-chun, a typical workaholic, immediately replied upon hearing this:
"Yes, yes, yes!"

Wang Dao said helplessly:
"I'm having dinner with my uncle and aunt today."

Le Huizhen chuckled:
"There are times to eat anywhere, but big news doesn't happen every day."

Mr. and Mrs. Le, feeling rather helpless and uneasy, said to Wang Dao:
"Ah Dao, Ah Zhen is just like that..."

Having witnessed Wang Dao's wealth, they really didn't want their daughter to lose such a wealthy husband.

There are many wealthy people, but there are none who are truly devoted to their own daughters.

If you let a son-in-law like that go, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Uncle and Aunt, don't worry, I know Ah Zhen's personality very well."

"Don't worry, I was the one who introduced Ah Zhen to Inspector Chen."

“Since she doesn’t have time to spend with you two, it’s the same if I do.”

Mr. and Mrs. Yue were immediately relieved. They thought to themselves that when Yue Huizhen came back, they would definitely teach her some secrets and make sure to keep Wang Dao's heart firmly in their grasp.
