Although Shi's mother said she would change, how could she change a habit that had been ingrained for decades so easily?

They have to be very careful about what they eat and use, and they keep bringing up their past. Who wants to hear that?

Even when her husband buys her gifts, Shi's mother still grumbles, "These can't be eaten, it's such a waste of money to buy them!"

Zhizhi felt that she and Shi's mother had completely different views on life, so they couldn't stand each other. They only compromised for the sake of their child.

However, Zhizhi spends much less time at home now. When Xiaoshiyun was little, her grandmother took care of her, and Zhizhi often went out without worry.

Occasionally, when Shi Tingfeng has free time, the two of them will go out together to enjoy some time alone.

They went to the movies, went hiking, and went to the amusement park. When Shi Tingfeng was busy, she would go shopping with her former colleagues from the factory.

Because of the large gap in economic conditions, Zhizhi always paid the bill when we went out, and I could occasionally hear some gossip from former colleagues.

For example, Yan Yanling was fired, Wu Mingzheng became more and more valued by the boss, and he was about to get married to the boss's niece.

I also heard that Ye Jiajia's parents are richer than the factory owner.

Wang Fangxiang looked at Zhizhi with envy and said sourly, "I think you and your fellow villager are really lucky. You both came out to work, and you actually found such rich husbands. Your luck is simply incredible. It seems that being beautiful is really an advantage."

Looking at her friends and listening to their sarcastic remarks, Zhizhi suddenly felt a little bored.

Zhizhi used to think that Wang Fangfang was a decent person, straightforward and honest, with no bad intentions, but sometimes she spoke too bluntly and easily offended people.

Zhizhi looked at Wang Fangxiang and asked, "How's business at your factory these days?"

"What can I do? It's just like that." Wang Fangxiang doesn't care about going to work now. Anyway, she's with Dong Yizhi, so she has no worries about food and drink, and she's dressed well. It doesn't matter whether she makes money or not.

Dong Yizhi was no fool; it was only because she had been bothered by Shi's mother for a while that she found a companion after meeting Wang Fangxiang.

However, given the current situation, it's best to avoid contact in the future.

…………

As usual, Dong Yizhi got ready to go out today after getting dressed and made up.

Shi's mother looked a little unpleasant, thinking to herself, "This daughter-in-law is too spoiled. She buys this and that as soon as she goes out, and doesn't even care about the children."

Shi Tingfeng didn't notice his mother's unpleasant face. Seeing that Zhizhi had already left, he followed her out. On the way, he asked Zhizhi, "I have a dinner party tonight. Do you want to come with me? All my friends are bringing their wives."

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhizhi realized that she was indeed quite bored, so she nodded in agreement.

When Tingfeng came to pick up Zhizhi in the afternoon, Zhizhi was already exhausted.

When they arrived at the agreed-upon place, looking at the magnificent and opulent decorations, Zhizhi was honestly a little scared.

Zhizhi still has a bit of a peasant mentality; the most expensive clothes and shoes she buys are only a little over a thousand yuan.

This is already very expensive for Zhizhi; she doesn't even dare to look at shoes and clothes that cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Not to mention this place is a money pit that looks like it requires a lot of money to spend.

"Don't be afraid, it's the same as when you go to a store to buy something."

Seeing that his wife was about to back out, Shi Tingfeng quickly pulled her into his arms and gently patted Zhizhi's shoulder like he was comforting a child.

"Go inside and eat whatever you want, don't worry about anything. If you don't want to talk, then don't."

Zhizhi nodded subconsciously, then stared straight ahead with a serious expression, pretending to be very calm as she followed Shi Tingfeng inside.

Upon arriving at the private room, Shi Tingfeng added, "Don't be nervous, just treat it as a meal."

Shi Tingfeng simply wanted to bring his wife out for some fresh air and to broaden her horizons, so that his business partners could get to know her.

The people at the door opened the door for them. As soon as Zhizhi went in, she saw two men and a woman chatting enthusiastically. When they saw that it was Shi Tingfeng and his wife, one of the men immediately stood up.

"Mr. Shi, you've finally arrived! You've been so busy lately, we've been waiting for you for ages."

Shi Tingfeng shook hands with him, "Mr. Chen, you're too kind."

"This is not just polite talk." Although Shi Zong was a rising star who had just made his fortune, he had a wide network of connections, and the Ye family of Lancheng was also protecting him.

Thinking of this, President Chen glanced at Zhizhi again and complimented her, "This must be Mrs. Shi, right? President Shi, you are truly blessed to have raised such a beautiful wife."

When Zhizhi saw him praising her, she just obediently followed her husband, nodding and smiling, but didn't say anything, leaving Shi Tingfeng to deal with it.

After Zhizhi and her husband sat down, they listened to Shi Tingfeng and the two men talking about work, but Zhizhi couldn't understand a word they said.

His eyes would occasionally meet the woman's gaze, then he would awkwardly look away.

The two strangers really had nothing to talk about.

After waiting for about half an hour, Zhizhi felt like she was about to burst, so she said goodbye to Shi Tingfeng and prepared to go out for a walk.

Seeing this, Shi Tingfeng took out a bank card from his wallet and handed it to his wife, saying, "There's money in this card, you can spend it however you like."

"No need, I don't even have enough money on the other card you gave me."

"This card can be used to withdraw cash."

Zhizhi silently accepted the card; the card she had used before was also given to her by Shi Tingfeng.

However, that card can only be used for unlimited transactions and cannot be used to withdraw cash. Therefore, although Zhizhi knew that she also had cash on her other cards, she was reluctant to use it.

Why use your own card when there are free cards available?

Zhizhi took the card and happily walked upstairs to the mall.

"Mrs. Shi looks so energetic..."

As soon as Zhizhi stepped out, she heard a woman's gentle voice coming from inside, but she was too lazy to stop and listen any longer.

Let them say whatever they want, anyway, she doesn't need them to support her.

As for Shi Tingfeng, Zhizhi has to admit that she likes his money. If he makes her unhappy or can't continue to provide her with a wealthy life, Zhizhi might be willing to be a little selfish.

Anyway, Shi Tingfeng was attracted to her beauty, while Zhizhi was attracted to Shi Tingfeng's generosity.

Ye Xiuzheng was also in the same place as Zhizhi and the others, sitting face to face with his two sons in a private room on the third floor.

When Ye Xiuzheng got married for the first time, he was still young. He was tricked by his ex-wife as soon as he came of age, and then he had twin sons the following year.

So, outwardly, he looks no different from his two sons who are already in their mid-twenties. Coupled with his comfortable life and successful career, Ye Xiuzheng is in high spirits and doesn't look like he's over forty at all.

The brothers Ye Si and Ye Wen sat a little distance away from Ye Xiuzheng, looking quite uneasy, clearly indicating that they weren't very familiar with their father.

Looking at his eldest son, Ye Xiu was a little curious. These two sons usually wouldn't come to him unless they had something important to say! They must be asking for something in return.

In the past, even if there was something, they would only ask their grandparents for help. It seems that this time they have something important to ask him for, otherwise why would they have thought of inviting him to dinner today?

Yes: "Dad, it's been a long time since my brother and I have had a meal with you. Let's take this opportunity to have a good get-together as the three of us..."
