Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 448 - 379 Little money-grubber
Chapter 448: 379 Little money-grubber
Su Peng didn’t know what was going on in He Ximei’s mind as he poured Yin Li water, "If you’re hungry, you can snack on these to tide you over. My mom will probably be a bit longer."
Yin Li was not shy about accepting his generosity, and smiled at Su Peng, "Su Peng, you are really a good person."
She glanced around the house and didn’t see anyone else. "Didn’t you say you had a sister? Why don’t I see her?"
"My brother-in-law is from the Imperial Capital, and she went to the Imperial Capital with him."
"The Imperial Capital, huh? Sounds so divine." Yin Li peeled a peanut and tossed it into her mouth.
"I guess it’s okay."
"Come on, dinner’s ready." Guaizi began bringing out dishes. "Pengzi, invite your friend to the table. Your mom is making one last dish, and then we can eat."
Pengzi looked at the lavish spread on the table, his eyes twitching.
Isn’t this a bit too extravagant?
"Girl, I wasn’t sure what you liked to eat, so I cooked a bit of spicy and non-spicy dishes."
"Mm, thank you, Auntie." Yin Li picked up a bowl to serve herself rice, and in the blink of an eye, she had polished off five bowls.
He Ximei and Guaizi exchanged glances, their expressions slightly odd.
Su Peng hurriedly explained for her, "Mom, Lili said she was trafficked to our place and now she has no money. Before she met me, she hadn’t eaten for more than a day."
"What a pitiful girl." He Ximei was full of sympathy. "Girl, are you employed? If you don’t have a job, you could work at our factory. At the very least, you won’t have to worry about food."
"Of course, no problem." Yin Li ate with great satisfaction. It turned out Su Peng’s mother’s cooking was quite delicious. "It’s good that I ran into Pengzi, otherwise I might truly have starved to death on the streets."
Yin Li said this with a laugh in her eyes.
Su Peng, this fool, doesn’t seem too far from having her move into his house.
...
After dinner, Xiaofeng and Chu Qing were sitting on the couch watching television together.
"Xiaofeng, your dad and I were thinking of hosting a homecoming party for you. Do you have any objections?" Xiaofeng’s return to the Quan Family was a big event.
For her, naturally, the more people who knew about it, the better.
"Mom, you and dad can arrange it as you see fit. I have no objections." Sometimes, being high-profile is not necessarily a bad thing.
"The Xu Family is having a wedding tomorrow, so how about next Saturday? That way, your mom can get everything ready properly. By the way, what’s your family’s phone number? I want to give them a call and invite them over." Su Peng had raised Xiaofeng, and she and her company were grateful. At this special moment, they wanted them to come and share the experience.
"I’ll call them." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"Okay, tell them if they’re willing to come, they should fly over directly. It’s too far by train."
Chu Qing smiled gently as she grasped Xiaofeng’s hand, "I’ve been worried sick, thinking if I hadn’t gone to Xijiang County last year, we might have missed each other."
"Mom, I’m back now." Xiaofeng could understand Chu Qing’s feelings, the anxiety of having regained something precious that was once lost.
"Right, right, so I definitely want to arrange your homecoming party properly, not just hold it, but make it grand." She needed everyone to know that her daughter was back.
"Sister, are you going to the Xu Family’s wedding tomorrow evening?" Xiaonian giggled mischievously.
"What do you think, should I go?" It might be somewhat inappropriate for her to appear at the Xu Family’s celebration.
"Sister, not only should you go, but you should also go with Yecheng. You two appearing at the Xu Family’s event will definitely be exciting; it’ll scare some people’s eyes out of their sockets." Xiaonian was thrilled just thinking about the scene.
"You just love to watch the world burn." Xiaoyan responded coolly.
"What do you know, this is a spectacle that must be seen. How many people wanted to make a mockery of sister, and spoke ill of Yecheng and her behind their back. This is an opportunity, so sister must definitely go."
They once said, didn’t they, that she was just a girl from the countryside, unfit for Yecheng?
Now that her sister is the Young Lady of the Quan Family, would they dare say she’s unfit?
"Go ahead." Chu Qing also agreed with Xiaofeng going. "This is an opportunity, a chance for everyone to get to know you."
Xiaofeng was now the Young Lady of the Quan Family and Yecheng’s wife. There was no event she couldn’t attend.
...
The next morning, Yecheng came over.
Xiaofeng was still having breakfast. She looked at him arriving and then at the time. It wasn’t even eight o’clock. "Why so early? Have you eaten?"
"Not yet, let’s eat together." Yecheng sat down. "I’m here to pick you up to go to the Xu Family. I’ll go change into a suit shortly."
