Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

Chapter 79 Small Tricks to Win People's Hearts

"Xinyi, you're back!"

Li Xiumei was the first to see her daughter. She quickly put the necklace back in the jewelry box, took the box, and went to greet her.

"Look, this is the new chess set Jay Chou bought for your dad, it's made of Hainan rosewood, even better than the previous one! And this, Jay Chou bought for me, it's called 'Eternal Heart,' isn't it beautiful?"

Looking at the genuine joy on her mother's face, and then at the sparkling diamonds on the necklace under the lights, Tang Xinyi was speechless.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Cheng in the kitchen turned off the stove and came out carrying a plate of freshly cooked food. He was wearing a Winnie the Pooh apron, which made him look rather peculiar.

"You're back? Wash your hands and have dinner." He spoke casually, as if it were something he was supposed to do.

"Mr. Zhou... what are you doing here?" Tang Xinyi's mind was still a little blank.

"I've come to visit your aunt and uncle, and maybe I can get a free meal." Zhou Cheng took off his apron and handed it to her casually.

Tang Xinyi took it subconsciously. His body heat was still on the apron, making her fingers feel a little uncomfortable.

Just then, her bedroom door opened. A young girl with a ponytail, wearing a tracksuit, and looking to be only about twenty years old peeked out.

"Cousin, you're back!" The girl's eyes lit up when she saw Tang Xinyi, and her gaze then fell on Zhou Cheng beside her, looking him up and down.

"Duoduo? What brings you here?" Tang Xinyi asked, somewhat surprised.

This is her cousin, Tang Duo, the youngest daughter of her aunt, who is a junior at Jiangcheng University this year.

"Our school dormitories are being renovated, and all the students staying on campus during the summer vacation have been relocated to off-campus accommodations. My aunt told me to come stay with you for a few days," Li Xiumei explained on her behalf. "That girl, she didn't even tell me she was coming."

"Auntie, I just wanted to give you a surprise." Tang Duo stuck out her tongue, her gaze lingering on Zhou Cheng before she leaned close to Tang Xinyi's ear and whispered, "Sis, who's this handsome guy? Your boyfriend?"

Tang Xinyi blushed immediately, unsure of how to introduce herself.

"What boyfriend? This is your brother-in-law!" Li Xiumei blurted out from the side, then enthusiastically said to Zhou Cheng, "Mr. Zhou, this is Xinyi's cousin, Tang Duo. Duo Duo, quickly greet her!"

"Hello, sister... brother-in-law." Tang Duo was a little confused by her aunt's sudden remark, but she still obediently greeted her.

Zhou Cheng nodded to her. His gaze lingered on Tang Duo for two seconds.

The girl had a very pure and innocent look, her features somewhat resembling Tang Xinyi's, but even more youthful. Her skin was beautiful, but the color of her tracksuit had faded from washing, and the edges of her sneakers were badly worn. The phone she held was an old model from several years ago, with a crack on the screen.

The meal was very lively.

Li Xiumei and Tang Jianguo's attitude towards Zhou Cheng had reached the point of being meticulous. Although Tang Duo didn't talk much, her eyes always curiously scanned back and forth between Zhou Cheng and Tang Xinyi.

After finishing his meal, Zhou Cheng said goodbye.

Li Xiumei saw him to the door, repeatedly reminding him, "Mr. Zhou, drive carefully on the road. Will you come home for dinner tomorrow... will you come again tomorrow? Auntie will make you your favorite turtle soup."

"We'll see, Auntie. You should get some rest."

After Zhou Cheng left, Tang Duo immediately went to Tang Xinyi's side, her face full of curiosity.

"Sis! Where did you find such a gem? He's handsome and rich! I just saw his watch, a Patek Philippe! And his car keys, it's a Ferrari, right? My god, what does he do for a living?"

"He...he's my boss," Tang Xinyi explained weakly.

"A boss pursuing his subordinate? Wow, this is like something out of a novel coming to life!" Tang Duo exclaimed enviously. "Sis, you'd better hurry! There are countless women eyeing a man like that!"

Tang Xinyi returned to her room with a headache, not wanting to continue the topic.

The next day was the weekend, and Zhou Cheng didn't show up again. Tang Xinyi felt relieved, but also a little empty inside.

In the afternoon, Zhou Cheng called.

"Feed?"

"I'm downstairs at your place. I promised Duoduo yesterday I'd take her out for a walk. Why don't you and your aunt and uncle come along too? We're going out for dinner."

Tang Xinyi walked to the window and looked down. The red Ferrari SF90 parked downstairs in the drab old neighborhood was particularly eye-catching.

Tang Duo was so excited to hear that she was going out to play that she almost jumped for joy. She hurriedly changed into what she thought was her best dress and followed Tang Xinyi downstairs.

When she finally saw the sports car she had only ever seen in movies and magazines, she stammered.

"Sister...brother-in-law, is this...this car really yours?" she asked cautiously.

"What else? Rented?" Zhou Cheng smiled and personally opened the butterfly door for her.

Tang Duo sat down somewhat bewildered, her fingers nervously touching the delicate leather seats inside the car, feeling completely dizzy.

The car started, and with a roar, it merged into the traffic.

Dinner was arranged at a top-tier private restaurant, costing several months' salary for an average person. At the table, Zhou Cheng didn't do anything particularly special, but his every move exuded an air of nobility, making Tang Duo increasingly feel that her "brother-in-law" was no ordinary person.

After dinner, Zhou Cheng did not take them home directly, but drove to Henglong Plaza.

"It's still early, let's wander around."

Li Xiumei and Tang Jianguo weren't interested in shopping, so they rested in the coffee shop on the first floor. Zhou Cheng, on the other hand, took Tang Xinyi and Tang Duo into the mall.

Tang Duo was speechless as she looked at the price tags that were often tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan. She followed closely behind Tang Xinyi, walking very carefully.

As she passed an Apple store, she stopped and her eyes were drawn to the latest iPhones and MacBooks in the display case.

Zhou Cheng noticed her action.

"Shall we go in and take a look?"

"No...no need, brother-in-law, I'm just looking around." Tang Duo quickly waved her hand and hid her old cell phone in her pocket.

Zhou Cheng didn't say anything and led them inside.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?" A sales assistant greeted him warmly.

"Bring out all your latest mobile phones, tablets, and top-of-the-line laptops," Zhou Cheng said calmly.

The sales assistant was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and placed all three items in front of them.

"Duoduo, which color do you like?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"Ah? I...I don't want to..." Tang Duo panicked.

"Purple is for girls, it looks really nice." Zhou Cheng didn't give her a chance to refuse and directly told the sales assistant, "These three items, all in purple, pack them all up."

"Okay, sir!" The sales assistant's eyes lit up; this was a big order.

"Brother-in-law! This is too expensive! I can't accept it!" Tang Duo was so anxious she was almost crying. These three items together cost nearly 50,000 yuan, more than her parents' annual income.

"Your cousin is usually busy with work and doesn't have much time to spend with you. Consider this an early graduation gift from your brother-in-law, so you can study hard at school," Zhou Cheng explained, offering a plausible reason. "Or are you thinking of taking advantage of your cousin?"

His last joke made Tang Duo's face turn bright red.

Tang Xinyi, who was standing next to her, wanted to speak up to stop her, but looking at her cousin's longing yet hesitant eyes, and then at Zhou Cheng's unyielding attitude, she found herself speechless.

In the end, Tang Duo accepted this exorbitantly priced "meeting gift."

As she carried those brand-new boxes and followed Zhou Cheng out of the store, her steps were a little unsteady.

She stole a glance at Zhou Cheng walking ahead, with only one thought in her mind: she had made up her mind about this brother-in-law! No one could take him away from her!

From today onwards, she is the number one staunch member of the "Support Brother-in-Law Faction"!
