Chapter 281: Chapter 274: An Impressive Matter (Bonus Chapter)
In the bedroom, Xiao Meiās father sat on the sofa against the wall, looking upset and exhaling from time to time, clearly quite angry. His wife handed him a cup of tea, which he took, but instead of drinking it, he placed the teacup heavily on the coffee table in front of him.
"Iām so angry! What kind of attitude is that Leng Yichen showing? Just because he has some filthy money, he thinks he can put on airs with me! When I had students all over the country, he was still in diapers!" Xiao Meiās father grew more agitated as he spoke and got up to pace back and forth in the room.
His wife looked at him, her expression equally grim, "Earlier, when Xu Juan bragged about herself and her son, I thought it was true! Itās true that Leng Yichen has only Yu Bin as a brother, but it seems clear to me he doesnāt care about him at all! They even said the house was like theirs, but today I heard from Xiao Mei that weāre staying in just an ordinary guest room, meant for entertaining guests!" She sighed and continued, "If we knew it would be like this, we shouldnāt have agreed to this, after all, that child isnāt..."
"Enough, enough!" Xiao Meiās father interrupted his wife, looking at her irritably, "Do you know where this is? Do you know what can be said and what canāt?"
"Iām just worried about our Xiao Mei. That Yu Bin looks like heās going nowhere. If it werenāt for leaning on the big tree that is Leng Yichen, heād be nothing at all. Are we really going to let Xiao Mei spend the rest of her life with someone like him?" Xiao Meiās mother sobbed softly, muttering under her breath, "To me, Yu Bin is not even as good as your student Ah Zhi, at least Ah Zhi is ambitious."
"Stop talking nonsense, if ambition was useful, there would be no poor people in this world!" Xiao Meiās father gritted his teeth, "Since weāve already moved in, we canāt return home so easily. Yu Bin might be no good, but I see Leng Yichen is indeed good, though he looks down on everyone, itās the common disease of the rich."
"Have you lost your mind! Leng Yichen has a wife, and didnāt you see theyāre very much in love? You want Xiao Mei to become the third party?"
"No way would my Xiao Mei be the third party! If she has to, sheād be the primary wife!" Xiao Meiās father glared at his wife and sneered, "Men from their upper class arenāt stable in relationships, my Xiao Mei isnāt any less attractive than Bai Yiran."
"Xiao Mei is pregnant now!" His wife felt what her husband was saying was unreliable, "Besides, what about Yu Bin and Xu Juan? Weāre outsiders here, unfamiliar with the place. If something really happens, we wonāt have any way to handle it!"
"Youāre useless!" Xiao Meiās father stood up, having been furious about being ignored by Leng Yichen, now saw him as the ideal son-in-law. People are vain, and he cared about face all his life, only now realizing thereās nothing more glowing than having a son-in-law like Leng Yichen. "First thing tomorrow, get Xiao Mei over here. Have a good talk with her, and as for that child, just find an excuse to get rid of it!"
After speaking, Xiao Meiās father went straight to bed. His wife looked at her husband with a face full of expectations and sighed softly, thinking if they had a son-in-law like Leng Yichen, it would indeed be impressive.
