Chapter 54
This was almost like a knife stabbing into the heart, and Shen Ruyu was so angry that she almost lost her mind.
However, Xu Bin saw this as an opportunity. Casually raising his wine glass and taking a sip, he said, "Yanzi, I am a son-in-law who married into the family because my mom asked me to. I love my wife, so I agreed."
"Your mother scolds me because she loves me, just like how teachers scold you because they care. Going to Xinhui Real Estate to be a security guard is simple too; I don't want to be detached from society. At least this way, I maintain some social skills. The pay is a bit low, but that's not important to me."
"Being a security guard, interacting with the lower classes of society, and dealing with those bitter and sarcastic women, it's all good for me."
*Ding...*
*"Attractiveness towards the seductive mother-in-law: 77%. Everything is permissible except sexual intercourse."*
Xu Bin knew he had done the right thing. Seeing the jealous look in Yanzi's eyes, he knew that his mother-in-law felt better.
The root of the problem was that Yanzi, this attractive widow, had a son and held onto the old tradition of looking down on women who had daughters. Even though times had changed, some old thoughts persisted.
Xu Bin immediately sneered, "A filial son or a son-in-law is enough. Having ten sons who are not filial is useless."
These words were quite provocative, and Yanzi's face turned a bit pale.
Normally, Shen Ruyu's personality would seize this opportunity, but this time, she took a different approach: "Son-in-law, you're wrong. Yanzi's son is still in school, so it's too early to talk about filial piety."
