Chapter 614: Your Zhao family’s ancestors are not enough

Yunhuafu, living room
"Drink tea."

Wei Yang poured a cup of tea for his brother-in-law Zhao Jianfei, who quickly stood up and took the cup: "Thank you, brother-in-law."

"Don't be polite, kid. It's like being at home here."

Father Wei noticed that Zhao Jianfei was a little reserved, so he comforted him and gave him all kinds of compliments.

"This kid is good, he's handsome and has a fair complexion. Is he dating someone?"

Zhao Jianfei was a little shy: "Yes, I have one, and we are discussing it now."

Wei Yang was curious: "Is it still the same university you talked to before?"

"Um, that one broke up, and this one we just met not long ago, less than a year."

Because of the appearance of Wei Yang, the life of Zhao Jianfei, the brother-in-law, has also undergone many changes.

If Wei Yang remembered correctly in his previous life, Zhao Jianfei should have been married very early, and there was even news that his sister Zhao Liying attended the wedding. But in this time and space, because he has a brother-in-law who is a business tycoon, he can borrow a lot of connections and resources.

At present, Zhao Jianfei has chosen to start a business in Beijing, mainly engaged in legal media publicity.

The reason why he stayed in Beijing instead of coming to Shanghai was to make it more convenient to take care of his parents. The latter was close to Langshi. For this reason alone, Zhao Liying and Wei Yang would more or less remember this favor and try to help as much as they could.

With Boss Wei's strength in the Internet and media circles, if he gives some support, his business development may not be very successful, but at least he will be able to have enough food and clothing.

But perhaps because of this, Zhao Jianfei did not get married so early, and now he has a new girlfriend, and I don’t know if she is his wife from his previous life.

But Wei Yang didn't dwell on it too much. His brother-in-law was doing well now, so it couldn't be considered that he was cheating him.
"That's fine. Bring her to the Magic City to see your sister. She may be a bit ill-tempered towards you, but this is all for your own good. We are siblings, so we should be close to each other."

Maybe because he was bullied by Zhao Liying since he was a child, this brother-in-law is somewhat distant towards his sister.

Zhao Liying didn't care much about her brother, and it was even Wei Yang who took the initiative to help his brother-in-law in many things.

Fan Xiaopang, on the other hand, was quite nice to her younger brother. Wei Yang probably thought it was because of their age.

The Zhao siblings are only a few years apart in age. They have been fighting since they were young and have a good relationship, but they are relatively independent.

The age gap between the siblings in the Fan family is so big that there are rumors that there is an illegitimate child. As a result, Fan Xiaopang has watched his younger brother grow up, so it is inevitable that he takes better care of and loves his younger brother a little more.

"I'll listen to my brother-in-law. I'll bring her over after the Chinese New Year when I'm not too busy."

Father-in-law Zhao glanced at his son. Wei Yang's words as a brother-in-law were more effective than those of his biological father and sister.

However, it is understandable, because Boss Wei has such a high status, let alone his son who depends on his brother-in-law for food. Even if he encounters any problems, he instinctively wants his daughter to ask his son-in-law for advice.

Just as he was thinking about something, Father Zhao saw Wei Yang looking at him: "Uncle, you are in Shanghai this time, so why don't you stay a little longer? Liying is not busy with work now, so she can accompany you."

"No, I have to go to work on duty in a few days."

Mr. Zhao didn't want to cause trouble for his daughter, and he did have a job. Wei Yang knew his character to some extent, so he didn't argue with him.

"Then let Auntie stay for a while. Liying rarely goes home and she misses you guys a lot."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Old Wei was also very happy and took the initiative to propose something to Mr. Zhao.

"Just let my sister-in-law live here. There are many houses here, and she can keep my man company. We will be a family in the future, so we can be close to each other."

Wei Yang stopped Zhao's father before he could say anything. It was natural for a mother to live with her daughter, but living in the home of future in-laws was more or less like living under someone else's roof.

If I really want to get closer, I can wait until Xiao Zhao is settled and then invite him to stay for a while. Then Zhao's mother will feel more comfortable.

"Is Liying's place ok?"

Lao Wei didn't force it, but he felt that Zhao Liying's was a little small.

This statement is actually a bit "unfair". Although Zhao Liying's house is not a mansion, Wei Yang and he have lived there for a long time, so it is a formal four-bedroom apartment.

The area is much larger than that of an ordinary family. Not only Zhao's mother, but also the entire Zhao family can move in and live there.

It is probably because old Wei is used to living in Yunhua Mansion, which has led to his higher standards, or it is also possible that he is standing up for his daughter-in-law Zhao Liying.

After all, Liu Shishi lives in a duplex of over 600 square meters, and it is the top floor in the top residential area in Shanghai, so it is worth a lot of money.

In comparison, Zhao Liying’s current residence is a bit “shabby”.

"If we can't live in a new place, we can move. I'm discussing this with Liying. Originally, we were afraid that it would be lonely, so we kept the house small. Now that we want to have a child, we have more things to consider. We plan to move to a new house after the Chinese New Year. She's choosing now and hasn't decided whether to live in a villa or a flat."

Wei Yang answered his father cryptically, and at the same time explained to his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

If Old Wei could stand up for the weak, it's hard to guarantee that Zhao's father and the others wouldn't think too much.

After all, there is still a certain level difference between Zhao Liying's house and Yunhua Mansion. When a few people came in just now, their expressions and actions clearly showed that they were impressed by the luxuriousness of the house. Maybe they were already thinking about it in their hearts but just couldn't say it out loud.

The story of Zhao Liying choosing a house was not made up by Wei Yang. He had prepared one for Liu Shishi and Fan Xiaopang, so Zhao Liying would naturally not be left out.

It’s just that Zhao Liying really has difficulty making a decision and can’t make it, so Wei Yang can only wait.

Because they hadn't made a decision yet, the two didn't tell each other in advance. Zhao's father and Old Wei were not very clear about this matter, and the latter hurriedly asked when he heard it.

"What are your specific intentions?"

"I prefer Gubei No. 1 and Cuihu Tiandi for flats, Jiujiantang and Suhewan for villas. I am also considering old houses in the city, but the surrounding environment is sometimes inconvenient."

The first few are all top-notch residential areas in Shanghai. As for the old villas in Shanghai, they may sound inconspicuous, but they are similar to the courtyard houses in Beijing.

The prices of high-quality old single-family houses in good locations are staggering and priceless. In fact, many people believe that those who live in these old single-family houses are the richest people in Shanghai.

However, Boss Wei is not very interested in the old houses in Shanghai. Old is only one reason why they are so popular. The main reason is that he cannot accept the Western style.

After spending so much time in the real estate market, he only bought two houses in total and later sold one. He even has two courtyard houses in Beijing.

Of course, this is also due to cost-effectiveness.

Boss Wei became rich after 2010. The prices of courtyard houses and old villas have gone up, even a little inflated. They are okay at maintaining their value, but the money they make as an investment is average.

If he had been reborn ten years earlier, Boss Wei would have stocked up on a few more sets even if he didn't like them. Money is secondary; what he wants is to show off.

Zhao's father was not familiar with the series of residential communities that Wei Yang mentioned. Old Wei sounded somewhat familiar with them, but he didn't know the specific prices, so he just let Wei Yang and the others decide for themselves.

But my brother-in-law was more intelligent. He memorized the name silently and searched for it secretly afterwards. His eyes almost popped out of his head.

These houses ranged from tens of millions to hundreds of millions or even millions, and he let his sister pick whatever she wanted.

Go back to your hometown and burn more paper for your ancestors. We are all descendants of the Zhao family, and our ancestors can't be too partial to him and only take care of his sister...

It was not until Mr. Zhao left Yunhua Mansion that he learned the house price from his son. He was silent for a few minutes and then returned to the house in a desolate manner.

Unlike Liu's father, although his wealth is not particularly high, he has seen money, while Zhao's father is a genuine office worker.

As a grassroots police officer, his monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan. He has no power or influence, and he can't get any gray income. At most, he can get some small benefits during the holidays. The money, house, and car that Zhao Liying used to give to her parents were also quite expensive, but they were still within his understanding.

But now that Wei Yang was able to buy mansions worth hundreds of millions or even millions of dollars, he still couldn't help but be speechless and confused. As human beings, why did it feel like they were not living in the same world?

Zhao's mother was much calmer than Zhao's father because Zhao Liying had already told her about the resettlement fee.

Just as Liu Shishi would discuss things with her mother, Zhao Liying also planned to get her mother's support first.

The Zhao family is different from the Liu family. The head of the family is Zhao's father, who has a tough temper. Therefore, to deal with him, you cannot unite like Liu Shishi and her daughter to suppress him with force, but rather use softness to overcome hardness.

Frankly speaking, the battle against the Zhao family is more difficult than that against the Liu family, but it is much less of a worry for Wei Yang.

Because Zhao Liying was very capable, she didn't let Wei Yang deal with the matter at all. She took the job over directly and made a domineering promise that she would take care of all the people in the Zhao family.

Zhao Liying has enough confidence to do this. Because of her different personality, she has a great say in the Zhao family and a stronger position.

Zhao's father, the nominal head of the family, has actually been sidelined. Zhao's mother actually listens to her daughter more. Even though Zhao Jianfei quarrels with his sister, if a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid he won't join his father in rebelling against his sister and brother-in-law.

Therefore, Zhao Liying had the situation under control from the very beginning, but she just wanted to handle it more smoothly and harmoniously.

The one who is truly the most domineering should be Fan Xiaopang. No matter how arrogant Zhao Liying is, her goal is still to get her parents' consent.

However, Fan Xiaopang never worried about these things from beginning to end, and his attitude was more inclined to inform.

Now that she's pregnant, she'll inform her grandparents, and have Wei Yang, the child's father, come over to show off his status. It doesn't matter whether her grandparents agree or not.

...

At this time, compared to the complicated feelings of Zhao's father, Zhao's mother, who already regarded Wei Yang as her own son-in-law, was relatively calm. She just advised Zhao Liying not to be too picky and to stop while she was ahead, so as not to make others unhappy.

The other members of the Zhao family all agreed that Zhao Liying could be with Wei Yang and now they were planning to have children and settle down.

Smoke is coming out of the ancestral grave!
Many outsiders also think so in this regard. Zhao Liying is extremely lucky. She met Wei Yang, who was not yet rich, and got on board early. Boss Wei was nostalgic, so neither Liu Shishi nor Fan Xiaopang kicked her out.

There are even conspiracy theorists who think that Zhao Liying may have evidence of Wei Yang's early fortune, for example, that Boss Wei actually sold his dick to get to the top.

It’s not that Wei Yang didn’t want to abandon her, but he didn’t dare to, for fear that the scandal would be exposed.

The Zhao family knew more about the other party's inside story and would not fall into conspiracy theories. They felt that Zhao Liying could maintain her position because, firstly, Wei Yang was nostalgic, and secondly, she was smart and had won the favor of her mother-in-law early on.

With this kind of mentality, it is inevitable that she will feel a little inferior when facing the Wei family, so she will remind her daughter to be more sensible in front of Wei Yang.

Zhao Liying was too lazy to explain the prejudice at home.

There was no way out. Her family still treated her as a country girl from the rural area of ​​Hebei Province. They had a filter for Wei Yang, a self-made tycoon, and nothing she said would have much effect.

However, this also has some advantages. It puts oneself in a lower position, making it easier for him to accept Wei Yang's "unequal treaty".

At least, when Zhao's mother heard that Wei Yang would not marry anyone else and that no one else could surpass her daughter, she nodded immediately.

Zhao Jianfei had no objection and just followed his brother-in-law's lead.

Originally, Zhao Liying wanted to persuade him to support her, but after hearing this statement, she was so angry that she couldn't help but curse, "Selling your sister for fame."

The most principled person in the family is Zhao's father. Although he feels that his daughter is not worthy of Wei Yang and that she is just lucky, it does not mean that he will sit idly by and watch his daughter suffer injustice.

If they are not worthy, then they are not worthy. At worst, they can just break up. Their family does not rely on their daughter to gain wealth, and their hearts are still on Zhao Liying's side.

Because of this, even though Zhao Liying clearly had the overall situation in control, she still chose to take it step by step.

It was because Father Zhao treated her the best, she didn’t want to hurt her father’s feelings and she also wanted to save the old man’s face.

"Mom, don't worry about it. We'll have to live in this house for a long time, maybe for the rest of our lives, so we have to be careful. Wei Yang and my mother-in-law both support me."

Zhao Liying didn't want to argue at first, but couldn't stand her mother's nagging, so she comforted her with a few words.

But Zhao's mother disagreed: "How can what you say be the same as what you think? Even with your appearance, your mother-in-law keeps praising you for being beautiful..."

"Just chat, don't make personal attacks."

Zhao Liying was not happy with this. What was she talking about? She was the most beautiful daughter-in-law in her mother-in-law’s heart.

Sometimes Wei Yang complained that Zhao Liying treated Wang Yunping better than her own mother. In fact, it was not entirely because Zhao Liying wanted to curry favor with her mother-in-law. Wang Yunping was indeed very good to her.

At least her own mother would always criticize and suppress her, but Wang Yunping would praise her for being pretty and hardworking every day.

Who wouldn’t want to be close to someone who appreciates them more?
"Okay, I won't talk about you, but your brother is so stupid, but your mother-in-law still praises him for being handsome and your father for being more elegant than your father-in-law. Don't you think your mother-in-law can be more careful about what she said?"

Although Zhao's mother likes to slander her daughter, she also does not let her son and husband go, attacking them indiscriminately across the board.

This is also the reason why Zhao Liying never bothered with her. This is the character of Zhao's mother. Zhao Liying also thinks that her brother is too stupid and her mother-in-law's words are too exaggerated.

Could it be that the praise she gave me before was mixed with exaggeration?
However, she did not dwell on it too much. Seeing that Zhao's mother still refused to give up, she changed to a more exciting approach.

He took out his cell phone, opened the Hualuo.com app, pulled up the page of the recently released "Detective Chinatown 2", and handed it to Zhao's mother.

"This is a movie invested by your son-in-law. It was released today on the first day. This number is the box office. It means how much money was sold today. Please count it."

Zhao's mother didn't understand, but she still looked at her phone: "Tens, hundreds, thousands, 36562.45, this is not much."

In order to make sure she wasn't mistaken, Zhao's mother carefully observed the decimal point and found that it was indeed more than 3.

Zhao's mother didn't understand what her daughter meant. She had never seen the world and wouldn't be overwhelmed by 3 yuan. She used to be a salesperson in a department store and sometimes their store's turnover was more than this.

"The number is correct, but the unit is wrong."

After Zhao Liying reminded her, Zhao's mother discovered that there was a bracket with the word "wan" written inside.

"That's right, thirty thousand. No, it's thirty thousand... ten thousand, three hundred million!"

Zhao's mother seemed petrified, and Zhao Liying took the opportunity to say, "Your son-in-law made more than 3 million in one day. Is it a big deal to buy a house? So don't worry about it."

What Zhao Liying said is purely to fool outsiders. It is true that "Detective Chinatown 2" has a box office of more than 3 million yuan a day, but the share of theaters and distributors must be deducted, and the remaining money must also be deducted from costs and dividends, etc. It would be a blessing if Boss Wei could keep 1 million yuan.

Besides, it is impossible for Wei Yang to make so much money every day, otherwise the world's richest man would have been replaced long ago.

But for Zhao's mother, doing this for one day or every day is meaningless, and there is no difference between earning 3 million yuan a day and earning 1 million yuan a day.

At this moment, her mind was on what Zhao Jianfei had told her before, that he wanted to go back to his hometown to burn paper.

I used to think my son had no future as he was doing these evil things every day.

Now it seems that it really needs to be burned. If it weren’t for the blessing of her ancestors, this girl wouldn’t have such good luck.

Moreover, it is not enough to just burn down the Zhao family's house, her mother's family must also be burned down, and the "neighbors" buried next door must also share some of the remains. This is not something that can be accomplished by just one family's ancestors...
