Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

—Zhao Family

Father Zhao had a complicated expression on his face. "Logically, we really shouldn't have anything to do with a family like this anymore, but I've invested the money and can't get it out anytime soon."

"How about we talk to them and give them a few months to pay us back?"

It's a long story. Although he's been doing well at work these past few years, having three daughters in a row is a real headache for him. Thinking about it all day is a real headache, so he set his sights on a side job allowed by his company: investing.

A few years ago, a minor bull market had made him hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he considered himself quite gifted at investing. But the market has been tough over the past two years, and he's been losing money. Not only has he lost all his profits from years past, but he's also accidentally lost his entire "small treasury." This time, he'd planned to invest heavily in a promising stock, but he ended up losing it all.

The whole family was kept in the dark by him.

Mother Zhao pointed at him in disbelief and asked, "What did you say?"

"What about the money you had before? Did you also use it to invest in stocks? Did you lose it all?"

He didn't dare say anything else.

Zhao Yuqin looked at him in shock. "Dad, are you confused? This is my betrothal gift. Have you ever thought about letting me take it back?"

She had always thought her family was different from ordinary families, that her parents were not unreasonable. Unexpectedly, this time, she stepped on two big landmines. How many things had her father done behind the family's backs? Even her mother was kept in the dark.

"No, I was thinking that I would be able to make a profit in the short term. After all, you would have to wait six months before getting married after getting engaged. Who would have thought that it would turn out like this now..."

The Zhao family was in chaos.

—City Z

Chen Xuyan took the two of them to the supermarket.

Chen Jiayuan was so fascinated by the costumes of the dolls in the bottom row that she could hardly open her eyes. She looked at Jin Yunran pitifully.

"We already have a lot at home, let's buy more next time." Jin Yunran was moved and nodded.

She would rather buy her child more clothes, shoes, and snacks than buy her these repetitive dolls. These dolls are actually the same, the only difference is the hairstyle and hair color, but the expressions are actually the same.

"How about buying this small kitchen and cooking for mom and dad or the doll?" She still gave in, otherwise she would definitely cry again.

Normally, I don’t dare to take her to the supermarket by myself because I’m afraid she will cry. A child of this age will definitely cry if I don’t buy her anything.

But after being scolded by her several times in the past two months, she has become much more obedient. She knows that even if she cries, she will not meet her unreasonable demands. It is better to have a good discussion with her.

Chen Jiayuan shook his head with tears in his eyes, and turned his gaze to Chen Xuyan, "Dad, I want it."

But Chen Xuyan had no intention of interfering with Jin Yunran's discipline. He lowered his head and pretended not to see anything.

Jin Yunran said nothing. He took out his phone and played with it for a few minutes before looking up at her. "Let's go get some roast chicken, okay?"

Chen Jiayuan bit his finger and nodded, "Okay."

Children are actually not that difficult to coax. You must master the correct methods. For example, her attention can be easily diverted.

The three of them continued to walk forward, and Chen Xuyan put a lot of food into the cart in one breath.

"Is it too much?" Jin Yunran asked.

Chen Xuyan shook his head. "It's okay. I'll go home and cook for you next week. You can't eat cleanly if you eat out every day. If you're hungry, just have some snacks. I'll come back and cook for you when I get off work."

Although Jin Yunran was pregnant, her pregnancy was not looking good. She looked a little haggard and usually ate fast food takeout or cooked her own meals. When she was pregnant with her first child, her mother-in-law came to take care of her early, but now she was alone.

"Okay." Jin Yunran was actually very happy.

It’s not just because Chen Xuyan’s cooking is delicious, but also because he now really focuses all his energy on his family. He knows how to care about himself and protect himself.

I bought a lot of fruits and even a durian.

"Forget it, it's a bit expensive." Jin Yunran was reluctant.

It does make you feel guilty to eat it every now and then.

"What are you afraid of? We don't eat it every day. Now is the season for durian and the price is right. We can buy one every few days. It's not a big problem." Chen Xuyan picked and chose, and finally picked out a satisfactory durian and put it in the cart.

Chen Jiayuan, who was chewing a chicken leg, sat in the cart and completely forgot about his previous troubles.

There is indeed a skill to arranging shelves in supermarkets, otherwise why are children’s favorite toys all in the bottom row?

Jin Yunran felt satisfied instantly when she saw the durians in the cart. This was her favorite food. Before she got married and was working, she would buy durians and eat them to her heart's content every time she got her salary. After she got married, she ate durians less and less.

She also bought some of her favorite bread and some semi-finished instant meals that were easy to make for breakfast.

The family had another meal outside the supermarket...

"Let's go home." Chen Jiayuan was very excited when he first got in the car, but he fell asleep before the car started for long.

Chen Xuyan carried the child and the things he bought and walked in front, while Jin Yunran followed them slowly.

Jin Yunran took out his cell phone and took a photo.

"Did you really promise me? You will definitely help me get a permanent job, right, Lao Lin?" Song Junrou sat on the middle-aged man's lap with a cute look on her face.

The man did not avoid her touch, but stroked her waist and hips while replying to the message on his phone.

"Silly boy, it's such a small thing, what's so difficult about it?" Lin Xingji passed a sip of wine to him.

Song Jun drank it obediently. "Then can you promise me that you will help me deal with that blind supervisor? He is really disgusting. He keeps harassing me and won't help me."

Her hand moved closer to the man's collar.

Although Lin Xingji looked dazed and intoxicated, he was thinking about this matter in his mind, "I have an impression of him. He is indeed a capable person. Let's talk about this matter later."

Although women are important, if they bring trouble upon themselves and offend those above them, it will be bad for them.

Although Song Junrou was dissatisfied with his words, she did not vent it out. "Then as a punishment, you must buy me a bag today, otherwise I will not forgive you."

Chen Xuyan, you are lucky this time.

The man's hand gradually moved down, "Of course."
