Chapter 842 574: Showing Off
That's right, that's right!
And her gorgeous daughter-in-law, even more beautiful than a celebrity!
For a moment, Luu Juan was all smiles, leaving Zhang Yi dumbfounded.
Xia Weiguo, standing nearby, naturally knew why Luu Juan was so happy, but he stayed silent.
As the saying goes, "Make a fortune quietly," he thought. After all, one only truly knows their own life.
At that moment, Xia Weiguo felt a sense of clarity amidst the drunken crowd.
The two intended to ignore Zhang Yi but noticed her mysteriously coughing.
"Let me tell you something."
Hearing this, Luu Juan rolled her eyes in disbelief.
This was the prelude to Zhang Yi's bragging!
Sure enough, the next second, Zhang Yi was smiling so widely that her teeth showed, her face full of arrogant pride.
"My son called me. He did quite well last year. He's now a vice president and partner at a company called Leilin Company! He told me he earned this much last year!"
She proudly held up two fingers!
Xia Weiguo leaned closer, his expression serious, and slowly uttered a sentence.
"Twenty yuan?"
In an instant, Zhang Yi's smile froze, an expression of written embarrassment across her face—clearly, it wasn't that much.
Luu Juan, standing nearby, almost burst out laughing at the scene. Although she gave Xia Weiguo a sidelong glance, she said nothing.
Zhang Yi's face couldn't hold its composure, and she glared fiercely at Xia Weiguo.
"My son earned 2 yuan! And he owns 8% equity! The company has already gone through multiple rounds of financing. It might go public next year! By then, my son's assets will be in the tens of millions!"
Zhang Yi had an overbearing look, stretching out her hand like a great figure!
Upon hearing this, Luu Juan politely complimented her twice.
"Not bad, quite impressive!"
Zhang Yi, hearing this, laughed! Her tactical recline, wrinkles blooming all over her face, an expression like she's in the clouds in an instant!
Great!
Absolutely great!
Every pore opened up!
Today she specifically waited for Xia Weiguo to come home, wasn't it just to show off and relish this moment? Her happiness comes from belittling others and flaunting herself!
Her son made 2 yuan, and in her heart, Xia Liang is nothing in comparison. Isn't the contrast delightful?
Outside, Zhang Yi excitedly picked up a phone call.
"Hey? Son? You're back? Where am I? I'm at Xia Liang's home! You hurry over! Your uncle and I have prepared good food and wine to welcome you!"
Xia Weiguo and Luu Juan frowned; who wants to welcome your son? Such thick skin, we are his elders after all.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Xia Liang saw the scene, a slight curve formed at the corner of his mouth.
This situation seems to be getting interesting.
Zhang Yi hung up the phone and headed straight for Xia Liang's room, knocking on the door with a resounding thunk.
"Xia Liang! Come out now! Get ready to go downstairs to greet your cousin!"
Zhang Yi had a triumphant look on her face.
"Your cousin started a company! He's way more capable than you! You better cozy up to him, next year he'll lift you up, work under him and you'll make a fortune, won't you?"
Xia Liang rolled his eyes. Go downstairs to greet him? We're all family, why should I?
Xia Liang couldn't be bothered to open the door and said calmly.
"Aunt, I won't go."
Zhang Yi frowned, her voice rising sharply, scolding Xia Liang's parents.
"Look at the son you've raised, what kind of behavior is this? I'm giving him a chance to show himself, and he won't even step out to greet a successful relative? How can he make it with such emotional intelligence?"
Upon hearing this, even if Xia Liang didn't intend to open the door, he had to.
Luu Juan and Xia Weiguo hadn't had time to react before Xia Liang pushed the door open and retorted.
"Who does your son think he is? Why bring my parents into this?"
Zhang Yi's triangular eyes glared, huffing angrily.
"Why? Because my son is capable! Haven't you heard of the grandson with crutches driving the Mercedes of his grandfather? What about elders?"
Xia Liang immediately sneered and quietly asked the System, starting to buy shares in Leilin Company.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
A suit-clad young man with his nose in the air and chest out walked in confidently!
A tactical recline!
He is Zhang Yi's son, the cousin who started a business outside, Xia Xingchang!
Cousin Xingchang had the demeanor of a successful person, looking down on others, and directly ignored Xia Liang when he saw him!
With a fake smile, he warmly greeted Zhang Yi.
"Mom, I'm back. I brought you some things!"
He snapped his fingers.
His driver behind him carrying gifts in both hands.
Cousin Xingchang couldn't stop talking.
"Mom, this is for you. Western ginseng, Korean ginseng, sea cucumbers, all top-notch supplements! Just this Korean ginseng, costs one-tenth per piece!"
Before Xia Liang and his parents, Xingchang began ostentatiously showing off! Seemingly demonstrating filial piety, but actually flaunting his wealth.
"Wow, wow..."
Zhang Yi's laughter wrinkled her face into a large chrysanthemum, her eyes gleaming with pride as they glanced at Xia Weiguo and Luu Juan, while her mouth spoke insincerely.
"Son, really! Why waste money on such expensive things, I can't even eat them!"
She didn't forget to take the opportunity for comparison.
"By the way, what did your son bring you this year?"
What did he bring? Is it necessary to bring anything?
My son bought me a villa and a car! He also bought me a shop and a fish pond!
Luu Juan almost blurted out, but Zhang Yi once again took the opportunity to praise her son.
"Did you drive back? Was it provided by the company?"
Xingchang looked down, proudly saying.
"Yes! But it's not some great car, just a worn-out Mercedes S400! And I even have a personal driver, mom. From now on, you've got a dedicated driver and car service."
"Hahaha~~"
Zhang Yi laughed with a face full of pride.
"I didn't expect my son to be so promising, to have developed so well. Gosh, gosh, how can there be such a disparity between people?"
Zhang Yi's mockery towards Xia Liang became increasingly rampant.
Xingchang smirked, seizing the opportunity to pull out a bank card and offer it.
"Mom! Take this! Just a little gift from your son!"
"What is it?"
Zhang Yi's face lit up with surprise, disbelief.
"It's New Year, and your son's entrepreneurship success gives you 2 yuan!"
Since it was all a show for Xia Liang's family, Xingchang simply appeared flamboyantly generous.
Zhang Yi screeched exaggeratedly!
"Xia Liang's parents, did you hear that? My son is truly capable! He gives me 2 yuan for New Year, hahaha! Can your Xia Liang earn that much in his lifetime?"
Xingchang walked up to Xia Liang and patted him on the shoulder, full of fake cordiality.
"Little brother, where are you working now? How much are you earning? I heard you were doing some live streaming? Haha, you used to do better than me academically and got into a prestigious university, but what good did that do?"
Xingchang finally showed a gloating smile.
"Now, I'm a pioneering entrepreneur, and you're just a working overtime dog! Thirty years of the river east, thirty years of the river west!"
Indirect showing off wasn't enough, so Xia Xingchang opted to boast directly to Xia Liang!
Xia Liang's exam scores were much better than his, which had been a thorn in Xia Xingchang's side.
So, you did well academically, but what good is it?
Now, I'm way more successful than you are, hahaha.
Xia Liang coolly watched, silently observing the mother and son's disgraceful performance.
