Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce
Chapter 48: Mother-in-law wants a video?
Qin Yue's face turned pale instantly.
video?
This is it, we're doomed.
She looked to Zhou Cheng for help, her hands trembling as she held the phone.
Qin's mother was still making a ruckus on the other end of the phone, completely unaware of her daughter's unusual behavior.
"Hurry up, Yueyue! Get your boyfriend to answer the video call! What are you dawdling for? Are you shy? Oh, we're all family, what's there to be shy about! Hurry up, hurry up!"
Qin Yue felt her scalp tingle; she opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Zhou Cheng looked at her, who was on the verge of tears, and said nothing, but simply reached out his hand.
"Give me."
Qin Yue hurriedly handed over the phone, forgetting to even turn off the speakerphone.
Zhou Cheng took the phone, didn't even look at the screen, and directly pressed the green button to connect the video call.
The next second, the face of a middle-aged woman who was well-maintained appeared on the phone screen; it was Qin Yue's mother.
"Oh! It's connected! Hey, Yueyue, where's your boyfriend?" Qin's mother brought her face close to the camera, looking around curiously.
Zhou Cheng held the phone up to his face, adjusted the angle, and made sure his face was fully visible in the frame.
Then, he smiled naturally.
"Hello, Auntie, my name is Zhou Cheng."
On the phone screen, Qin's mother's expression froze.
She stared blankly at the young, handsome man in the picture, momentarily speechless.
It took her a full five seconds to realize what was happening, and she excitedly slapped her thigh.
"Oh my god! You...you're Yueyue's boyfriend? Wow! He's...he's so handsome! Even more handsome than in the photos!"
Qin's mother had a loud voice, and her face was flushed with excitement. She held the phone a little further away and shouted to the side, "Old Qin! Old Qin, come quick! Our Yueyue's boyfriend! A real heartthrob!"
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking refined also came in front of the camera, curiously looking at Zhou Cheng.
"Yes, the young man is indeed a handsome man." Qin's father pushed up his glasses and nodded rather calmly.
In the office, Qin Yue stood to one side, her heart pounding in her chest.
This is her boss! And now he's video chatting with her parents, pretending to be her boyfriend... This is too exciting.
"Zhou Cheng, right? What a nice name, what a nice name!" Qin's mother was increasingly pleased with the name, beaming from ear to ear. "Little Zhou, how old are you this year? What do you do for a living? How long have you known our Yueyue?"
A barrage of questions was thrown at me.
If it were someone else, they would probably be completely bewildered by this barrage of questions.
Zhou Cheng simply smiled and replied unhurriedly, "Auntie, I'm twenty-six this year. I own a small company and do some investment. As for Yueyue... I've known her for a while now. She's very outstanding, and I admire her a lot."
"Starting a company? Wow, so promising for your age!" Qin's mother's eyes lit up even more upon hearing this. "That's wonderful! Our Yueyue is so lucky to have such a great boyfriend like you!"
Qin Yue blushed as she listened, wishing she could disappear into the ground.
At that moment, a discordant voice broke in.
"Hey sis, who's that in your video? They look so young! Is it some college student Yueyue found somewhere just to make you happy?"
A woman's head, heavily made up and looking somewhat mean, squeezed into the video frame.
She is Qin Yue's aunt, Liu Fen.
Qin Yue's brows furrowed immediately.
This aunt was the most snobbish of all her relatives. Before, when Qin Yue was studying abroad and had a good job, she would constantly brag about Qin Yue. Later, when Qin Yue returned to China and became a low-level white-collar worker in an ordinary company, she never gave her a kind look again, her words always laced with sarcasm.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qin's mother glared at her. "This is Yueyue's boyfriend! They're seriously dating!"
"Boyfriend?" Liu Fen curled her lip and said sarcastically, "Sis, don't be fooled. These young people nowadays talk a good game, but their pockets are emptier than their faces. You know Xiaoya's boyfriend, right? His family owns a factory, and he just bought her a BMW worth over 200,000 yuan last month! Yueyue doesn't look like she has any money. Don't let her be fooled by some pretty boy."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Qin's mother's face faded somewhat.
Qin's father looked rather grim.
Qin Yue clenched her fists.
What she hated most was that her aunt compared her to her good-for-nothing cousin.
"you……"
Just as she was about to speak, Zhou Cheng gently pressed her hand down.
He watched the sarcastic woman in the video, his smile unchanged.
"And who is this?" he asked.
"Oh, this is Yueyue's aunt," Qin's mother introduced somewhat awkwardly.
"Hello, Auntie." Zhou Cheng nodded politely, then said in a casual tone, "You just said that my cousin's boyfriend gave her a BMW worth over 200,000 yuan?"
"Yeah! What's wrong?" Liu Fen raised her chin, looking smug.
"It's nothing," Zhou Cheng smiled. "I just think it's quite interesting that a car worth over 200,000 yuan can still be brought up like this now."
Liu Fen's expression changed immediately.
What does that mean? Does it mean you think 200,000 is too little?
"What do you mean? You talk like you're so rich!" she said, somewhat embarrassed and angry.
"Whether I have money or not is none of your business," Zhou Cheng said calmly. "However, since I'm with Yueyue, I can't let her suffer. A car and a house are the bare minimum."
He paused, then looked at Qin's parents in the video.
"Uncle, Aunt. I know you both care about Yueyue. Words are not enough, so how about this, this weekend, whenever it's convenient for you two, I'll come to visit you in person. Some things are more sincere when discussed face to face."
Upon hearing this, both people on either end of the video call were stunned.
A personal visit? This... this is for real?
Qin's mother was the first to react, and she was so excited that she almost threw her phone away.
"Great! That's wonderful! Xiao Zhou, you can come anytime! We're always available!"
"Then let's set it for this Saturday," Zhou Cheng decided immediately. "I'll go to your residence to pay my respects on Saturday morning."
"Okay! It's settled then!"
After hanging up the video call, Qin Yue was still in a daze.
She looked at Zhou Cheng, opened her mouth, and after a long pause, managed to stammer out, "Boss...you...you really want to go?"
"Otherwise what?" Zhou Cheng handed the phone back to her. "We've already gone this far, we have to play the part completely."
This woman is decisive and ruthless at work, but I never expected her to have this side to her at home.
"But... my aunt, she'll definitely try every way to make things difficult for you," Qin Yue said worriedly.
"Making things difficult?"
Zhou Cheng smiled.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how she'll make things difficult for me."
Opponents of this caliber pose no trouble to him; they're merely a source of amusement for the weekend.
Seeing him like this, Qin Yue felt much more at ease.
Yes, who is he?
He is Zhou Cheng. He is the man who can make loan shark bosses obey him, who can plunge the Shen family into hell overnight, and who can casually pull out billions of yuan for himself to play with.
What does a mere aunt of the aunt's age matter?
However, the thought of Zhou Cheng appearing in front of all her relatives as her "boyfriend" on Saturday made her heart pound.
