Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract
Chapter 79 Making a fool of oneself
Shen Menghan wasn't interested in his work, so even though she overheard their conversation, she pretended not to know anything.
Runqiong then asked, "Zhicheng, if we really want to raise prices, then how much will it cost? When we're doing business, we should make money when we should, but we should also know when to stop and not make exorbitant profits. We should do more good deeds in our spare time and accumulate some merit for ourselves."
"Grandma, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Li Zhicheng smiled. Doing business is all about making money. Who does charity every day? He's not that hypocritical. He won't stand idly by when it's time to help those in need, but it's impossible for him to give away all the money he's worked so hard to earn.
"Zhicheng, I asked you last time, did you make up the difference in the bride price for Xiaohan? Um, when you have time, arrange to meet Xiaohan's family. I'd like to meet them. We're family after all, so we should visit each other more often. Don't worry, no matter what Xiaohan's family situation is, since I've accepted Xiaohan, I will also accept her family."
The older generation is very thoughtful; they even considered meeting the parents.
Shen Menghan was startled. She couldn't let her grandmother meet her mother and maternal grandmother. She was trying her best to clear her name of her relationship with Li Zhicheng. If they met, wouldn't their relationship be exposed?
"Grandma, Xiaohan's family isn't in Xicheng right now. I'll make plans with them as soon as they get back, okay?" Li Zhicheng seemed to understand the anxiety in her eyes and immediately came to her rescue.
Shen Menghan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his grandmother and the others did not want to come to Xicheng.
“Xiaohan, now that you’ve married Zhicheng, if there are any difficulties at home, just let us know. Don’t bear everything alone. We are one big family, and you must remember that,” Runqiong said to her again.
Shen Menghan was deeply moved, never expecting her grandmother to be so kind and approachable, which once again surprised her.
"Grandma, I understand." She smiled in response, but otherwise, she didn't know what to do.
Li Zhicheng assured his grandmother, "Xiaohan's family affairs are my family affairs, Grandma. I will not mistreat Xiaohan and her family. My woman, Li Wunuo, should I not pamper her like a treasure?"
"You're just good at talking nonsense. Fine, Grandma believes you. But stop just showing off your verbal skills and actually give Grandma a baby."
Upon hearing this, Shen Menghan quickly turned her head away. The old lady often talked about having children, which really put a lot of pressure on people. No wonder many people choose not to get married.
"Grandma, let nature take its course. We're still young. Besides, I want to spend more time with Xiaohan as just the two of us. Please don't rush me, okay?" When Li Zhicheng spoke to his grandmother, it was as if he was coaxing an old child. As long as he could appease her, the matter would be dropped.
“But Grandma is worried that she’s getting old and might suddenly pass away one day, and what will she do if she can’t see your children again?” Runqiong said, seemingly out of concern.
“Grandma, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old.” Shen Menghan replied anxiously. She couldn’t stand hearing old people say such things. It would inexplicably remind her of her maternal grandmother, who had been lying in bed for so long. She was very worried, but she couldn’t convince her.
"That's hard to say, Xiaohan. Why don't you and Zhicheng fulfill this old man's wish?" Runqiong looked at her pitifully, putting all the pressure on her.
"Grandma, I..." She desperately wanted to escape from Li Zhicheng's side, but how could he still allow her to have a child?
"Grandma, please don't make things difficult for Xiaohan. It's just that I don't want children for the time being." Seeing that his grandmother was putting pressure on his woman, Li Zhicheng didn't hesitate to take the blame for her.
"You child!" Runqiong was both angry and sincere; this was her most prized grandson.
Shen Menghan looked outside and saw Xu Jingjing standing outside, looking into her room.
She dares to come again? Has she forgotten the warning Li Zhicheng gave them?
Not only her, but Li Zhicheng and Runqiong also noticed. Li Zhicheng shouted into the kitchen, "Sister Li, chase away the unwelcome people outside."
"Zhicheng, don't be like that. Even if she doesn't like it, she's still family. Maybe she's just admiring the view from our house," Runqiong said with a smile. Although Xu Jingjing didn't win her heart, she still lived in the Li family villa.
"Grandma, if you keep letting those outsiders influence things, how am I supposed to give you a grandson?" Li Zhicheng smiled warmly, teasing his grandmother like an ordinary friend.
Shen Menghan rolled her eyes. He spoke without thinking, without considering who the other person was.
“Alright, then go and chase them away. Aunt Li is cooking, she can’t keep walking around. Besides, how can she possibly chase people away?” Grandma agreed almost without hesitation.
She was already on Li Zhicheng's side, and after hearing his words, she had no choice but to comply.
Li Zhicheng walked to the door and shouted outside, "I told you to get out of the Li family if you bother us again. It seems you don't want to stay here any longer."
“Uncle, I didn’t mean to come here and bother you. I’m looking for my great-grandmother.” Xu Jingjing said, holding up the bag in her hand: “This is a handbag I bought for my great-grandmother.”
"If you want to find Grandma, go to her room, don't show up here!" Li Zhicheng glared at him with a sharp look that could burn even from several meters away.
"Okay." Xu Jingjing didn't dare to do anything reckless. After saying that, she turned around and left dejectedly.
She dared not provoke Li Zhicheng; he was a man of few words and deep secrets. If she angered Li Guowei and the others, they would probably deal with her first.
As soon as she stepped into the house, she heard Huang Ju mocking her from the side: "You shouldn't have gone to Li Zhicheng's place. You're just asking for trouble. Doesn't he want to avoid you all the time?"
"Mom, I still want to get back together with Menghan, but it seems she really won't give me another chance. I'll go to Grandma's after dinner," Xu Jingjing said dejectedly.
“You just ran into a snag there, and they might be talking badly about you. How about we go with you tomorrow at noon when they’re not home?” Huang Ju finally said something to comfort her.
"Thank you, Mom, I'll remember." Xu Jingjing nodded. It would be really hard to go on alone, but it would be different if someone supported her.
For now, she can use Huang Ju. After things are done, they'll become enemies anyway, so she can deal with it then.
When Li Guowei and the others returned, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly fell silent, knowing that it might not be a good thing for a man to hear certain things.
Xu Jingjing stepped forward and took his briefcase, then looked at Li Dahai, who casually tossed the briefcase onto the sofa.
"I'm so busy today, but I only get paid so little. I'm not happy about it!" Li Guowei shouted. He always felt that he was being underutilized and not being able to play his true role.
“Being busy is a good thing. It proves that they value you and are giving you more opportunities to perform. If you keep nagging, I won’t stand by you anymore.”
Li Dahai glared at his son, who was a hopeless piece of trash. Sometimes he couldn't help but want to stomp on him to vent his anger!
