Blackening starts from the golden years

"No."

Zhong Xiaoqin laughed softly:

"It's more than four million."

"More than four million?!"

Mother Zhong was startled, and she said angrily:
"You kid, you can buy a house with more than four million yuan. How dare you accept such an expensive necklace?"

"He gave it to me on his own initiative. Why don't I dare to accept it?"

Zhong Xiaoqin smiled happily. She took a look at the sapphire necklace, waved it in front of her mother and said with a smile:

"Mom, does it look good? Doesn't it look beautiful when I wear it?"

"Beautiful, you are so beautiful."

Giving Zhong Xiaoqin a loving look, Mother Zhong asked in a low voice:
"Besides this necklace, did he give you anything else?"

"What else?"

Zhong Xiaoqin thought for a while and said:

"He has given away clothes, shoes, and bags."

"What else?"

Looking at her mother, Zhong Xiaoqin said cutely:

"And a bank card?"

“What kind of gift is a bank card?”

Looking at her silly daughter, Mother Zhong asked anxiously:
"The ring, I mean the engagement ring. Did he tell you when he would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you to register and get the certificate?"

"what?"

Glancing at her mother, Zhong Xiaoqin lowered her head and said with some embarrassment:
"I just got divorced not long ago, how can I get married so soon? The impact will not be good, others will gossip."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin who was embarrassed, Mother Zhong said directly:
"Then you and Chen Yu divorced because of Xiao Yuan?"

"Of course not."

Zhong Xiaoqin raised her head, opened her eyes slightly and looked at her mother and said:
"It's none of Yuan Xudong's business. Chen Yu and I's divorce is entirely our own problem. We can't get along anymore and we don't want to make do with it."

"Isn't it over then?"

Mother Zhong said anxiously:

"You divorced Chen Yu and then married Xiao Yuan. Is there any problem with this?"

Zhong Xiaoqin naturally wanted to marry Yuan Xudong, but because of the existence of Gu Jia and Wang Manni, she could not go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register for marriage with Yuan Xudong. The same was true for Gu Jia and Wang Manni. They had been avoiding this question, who He didn't take the initiative to say it out loud, but he knew in his heart that only Yuan Xudong could decide which of them he wanted to get married to.

Thinking of Gu Jia and Wang Manni, Zhong Xiaoqin found a reason to explain:

"It's hard to explain. Yuan Xudong is the big boss of our company. I just divorced Chen Yu and then I married the big boss of the company. What do you think this will make others think of me? They say I'm a scumbag because Divorce only for money, and then marry a rich man? "

"What you said makes sense to a certain extent. People's words are scary."

Mother Zhong nodded in agreement, but before Zhong Xiaoqin could breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly reacted, looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and said:

"No, no, Zhong Xiaoqin, don't you want to get married? So you are fooling me here, right?"

"No, no, what's wrong?"

Looking at her mother, Zhong Xiaoqin asked with a pair of innocent big eyes:
"Where did I fool you?"

"You haven't fooled me yet?"

Staring at Zhong Xiaoqin fiercely, Mother Zhong said angrily:

"You and Xiao Yuan go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register and get the certificate. Isn't it okay if you don't have a wedding? When you and Chen Yu got married, didn't you also have a wedding?"

"you……"

Seeing that she couldn't fool her mother, Zhong Xiaoqin just pouted and said:

"Okay, I admit it, I just don't want to get married. I think it's fine as it is now. Why do I have to get married? Does getting married guarantee eternal happiness?"

"Only fall in love and don't get married, right?"

Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin, Zhong’s mother said angrily:
"You have just been brainwashed by the junk information on the Internet. Why do you want to be an independent woman in the new era who will not get married or have children? How old is she? She can stand and talk at such a young age without pain in her back. Wait for her Look at it when you are older, living alone in a house with no one to talk to, and going to the hospital alone when you are sick, how miserable is that? "

"It's quite miserable."

Looking at her mother, Zhong Xiaoqin laughed and said:

"But I have you and dad, and I have two good best friends, and Yuan Xudong, hehe~~"

"You."

Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin acting coquettishly, Mother Zhong said angrily and funny:
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'll tell Xiao Yuan directly."

"Mom~~"

Zhong Xiaoqin took Mother Zhong’s arm and said coquettishly:
"Can you please don't tell him this? If you do, he will think that I am eager to marry him, and I don't want it."

"Then tell him yourself, you are already thirty, and if you continue to spend more time, do you want to become an advanced mother?"

"What kind of advanced maternal age?"

Zhong Xiaoqin muttered a little embarrassedly:
"Okay, I understand, I will tell him myself, okay?"

"Well, tell him quickly, my family doesn't want any betrothal gifts, as long as he treats you well."

Mother Zhong smiled.

"know."

Rolling her eyes, Zhong Xiaoqin muttered in a low voice:

"Everyone wants a bride price, but our family doesn't want it. Are you so afraid that I won't be able to get married?"

"What are you mumbling about? I can't even understand what you are talking about. Why can't you get married?"

"No, I said there was a woman in our company who couldn't get married. She had two younger brothers. Her parents asked for a bride price of 380,000 yuan. Her boyfriend's family had no money, so they broke up. The woman complained about the man. She has no money and no ability, the man is a monster and the woman is a demon to help her younger brother. Her family has no money and her two brothers have no money to get married. Why should they put this debt on his head and say that women's morality kidnaps him? He said that he didn't want to pay because he didn't love her as a person, but he wanted to buy a house, a car, and give hardware and gifts. How could a young man have much money?
His parents were ordinary farmers. They had already used up all their family savings to buy him a car and a down payment for a house. Now they wanted a bride price of 380,000 yuan, what else could they do? She loves her parents, is he going to drain his parents' blood?
Just like that, the two of them parted ways. Colleagues in our company all felt it was a pity that they could obviously work together and live a good life slowly, but they had to buy a house, a car, and a sky-high betrothal gift at the beginning. How much emotion can there be in such a marriage mixed with material things? "

"This bride price is quite high. The man's family really has no money, so what else can we do?"

Mother Zhong said:
"So, today's little girls are harmed by the spam information on the Internet. They say that if there are more boys and girls, there is no need to worry about marrying. When she was young, she was picky and picky. After such a delay, when she is older and has good conditions, Men looked down on her, and she looked down on men with poor conditions, so she slowly lowered her requirements, and finally became a leftover woman. She still claimed that she was an independent woman in the new era, deceiving herself and others, and posting on the Internet to deceive those ignorant people. The little girl is just like them.”

"The prawns are here."

Yuan Xudong walked out of the kitchen with a plate of prawns. He looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and Mother Zhong and smiled:
"Xiaoqin, mom, it's time to eat."

"coming."

"okay."

At this moment, Dad came out of the kitchen and said with a smile:

"Xiao Yuan, let's have some drinks."

Hearing him say he wanted to drink, Mrs. Zhong’s eyes widened and she said:

"Don't drink. The doctor said you can't drink. You still drink, right?"

"Aren't you happy that Xiao Yuan is here? I'll just drink a little, okay?"

Father Zhong smiled coquettishly. As he spoke, he winked at Yuan Xudong and wanted him to help. Before Yuan Xudong could speak, Zhong Xiaoqin glared at him, then she looked at her father and said:

"Dad, if you have a bad heart, please stop drinking, okay? You went to the hospital for a checkup last time. Did you forget what the doctor said?"

"Dad likes to drink."

As he spoke, he looked at Yuan Xudong again and winked at him. As a result, Yuan Xudong stood next to Zhong Xiaoqin and said seriously:

"Dad, I listen to Xiaoqin."

Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Zhong Xiaoqin looked up at him and gave him an appreciative look. Father Zhong rolled his eyes and gave up the plan of drinking.

Mother Zhong's face was filled with happiness. The more she looked at Yuan Xudong, the more she felt that this son-in-law was really good. Unlike Chen Yu, he was like an uncle when he came to the house, sitting there doing nothing, with a sullen face and exuding negative energy. , how can he be as sunny and cheerful as Yuan Xudong?

The family sat down around the dining table. Yuan Xudong sat next to Zhong Xiaoqin. He put a prawn in her bowl and said with a smile:
"Xiaoqin, these are the prawns I fried. How do you like them?"

"What are you doing?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was a little embarrassed. She was thin-skinned, but Yuan Xudong was thick-skinned. He smiled and said:
"How about I peel it for you to eat?"

"No, thank you."

After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Zhong Xiaoqin picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat the shrimp. Seeing the two of them looking so loving, Father Zhong and Mother Zhong looked at each other and smiled. Mother Zhong looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Xiao Yuan, try this braised pork, I made it."

"Okay." Yuan Xudong put a piece of braised pork into his mouth. Mother Zhong looked at him and asked with a smile:

"what about the taste?"

"Mom, the braised pork you made is so delicious. I have never had such delicious braised pork in a five-star hotel."

"Isn't it awesome?"

"Well, it's very impressive."

Yuan Xudong shamelessly praised his mother-in-law, making Mrs. Zhong laugh and be extremely happy. Seeing him making her mother happy like this, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but rolled her eyes, glared at him and said:
"You're almost good. Why didn't I realize you were so thick-skinned before? You're also glib and a big liar."

"Mom, Xiaoqin wronged me."

Yuan Xudong chose to complain to his mother-in-law. Mother Zhong immediately glared at Zhong Xiaoqin and said:

"Xiaoqin, what are you talking about? Isn't the braised pork that mom makes delicious?"

"good to eat."

Zhong Xiaoqin smiled. After saying that, she secretly glared at Yuan Xudong next to her. Seeing her like this, Father Zhong smiled and said:
"Your mother's cooking of other dishes is not as good as mine, with the exception of this braised pork. What she cooks is much more delicious than what I cook."

"That is."

Mother Zhong smiled happily and said:

"Xiao Yuan, I will make braised pork for you next time you come, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Mom. I'll come to your house often to have dinner in the future."

"well."

Seeing Yuan Xudong chatting happily with her parents, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but smile. She felt it was great to be like this.

After lunch, Yuan Xudong and Zhong Xiaoqin left after staying at home for more than an hour.

……

Back home, Yuan Xudong held Zhong Xiaoqin in his arms and smiled:
"You say I'm thick-skinned and glib, right?"

"What do you want to do?"

Zhong Xiaoqin said shyly:

"Let me go, you bastard."

"Stinking rogue?"

Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin in his arms, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"I'll show you a gangster so you know what a real gangster is."

"Ah, what do you want to do? Gangster, put me down, put me down."

Amidst Zhong Xiaoqin's sweet calls, Yuan Xudong carried her on his shoulders and walked straight to the bedroom. Soon, Zhong Xiaoqin's low singing sounded in the bedroom.

……

Half a month later, it's Gu Jia's birthday. She is thirty today, a little younger than Zhong Xiaoqin and a little older than Wang Manni.

She planned to celebrate her birthday at home. She would buy groceries and prepare a table of delicious food. She would also make the birthday cake herself.

At the gate of Junyue Mansion Community, Mrs. Wang, who was about to go out, saw Gu Jia coming back from shopping with Aunt Chen and shouted:
"Gu Jia."

"Mrs. Wang."

Gu Jia responded, Mrs. Wang looked at her and smiled:
"What have you been busy with recently? I haven't seen you in the same building. Since you left the circle of wives, it has become boring all of a sudden. You don't know, Mrs. Ma used to show off that her son and daughter went to Oxford. It was revealed that it was all fake. Mrs. Liu's husband had cheated on her, wanted to divorce her, and had transferred all the money.

Mrs. Li's family is even worse. I heard that the backer behind her husband fell, and he went in immediately. She still owes a lot of debt, and is on the integrity blacklist. She can't even ride on the high-speed rail. Now she is hiding from debts, and no one can see her. I don’t know how she is doing now. It’s true, the water in real estate is so deep. Such a big real estate company went bankrupt when it said it would go bankrupt, leaving only a pile of mess. People who spent money to buy off-plan properties were really screwed. "

Having said this, Mrs. Wang looked at Gu Jia and smiled narrowly:
"Gu Jia, do you think your mouth is poisonous? Did you curse them?"

Needless to say, Gu Jia felt quite happy. She looked at Mrs. Wang and smiled:

"If I had that ability, I wouldn't be deceived by Mrs. Li and the others."

"By the way, how is the tea garden you took over?"

Mrs. Wang asked:
"Can the tea be sold?"

"Fortunately, it's not easy to sell, but it can still be sold."

Gu Jia smiled and said that Yuan Xudong helped her recommend several hotels and shopping malls. Although Kongshan Tea is not well-known yet and is indeed not easy to sell, it has successfully established a complete production and sales channel, and the situation is slowly opening up. .

Mrs. Wang didn’t know this, she smiled and said:

"This is not a big deal. How about I introduce you to two supermarket owners?"

"No, thank you, Mrs. Wang. In fact, I already have a stable sales channel. Now I'm just waiting for Kongshan Tea's reputation to spread."

Gu Jia smiled. Looking at her, Mrs. Wang said in surprise:

"Are you so good? How long has it been since then that you already have a stable sales channel?"

"No, I'm not that powerful. Someone helped me."

Gu Jia smiled. Hearing this, Mrs. Wang asked curiously:

"Who?"

"Just a friend."

Gu Jia did not directly say it was Yuan Xudong. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wang smiled and said:
"Is it a male friend?"

"Yes."

Gu Jia smiled and said:

"Mrs. Wang, I'll go up first and we'll talk next time."

"Ok, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

Stopping where she was, looking at Gu Jia's leaving figure, Mrs. Wang was thoughtful. She thought of Yuan Xudong, who should be the friend who Gu Jia said helped her.

"It seems that this woman's most powerful weapon is herself. If she wants to climb up, she has to be brave."

Mrs. Wang laughed softly, and after saying that, she turned and left.

……

After returning home, Gu Jia put on an apron and walked into the open kitchen to start cooking dinner. While washing her hands, she looked at Aunt Chen beside her and said with a smile:

"Sister Chen, I'll cook. Can you go to the kindergarten and pick up Xu Ziyan for me?"

"Okay, I'll go now."

"Ah."

Aunt Chen went to pick up Xu Ziyan from kindergarten, and Gu Jia started cooking and making soup.

Soon, Yuan Xudong opened the door and walked in. He knew the password to Gu Jia's house.

Putting the gifts and flowers he brought on the long table in the living room, Yuan Xudong walked into the kitchen, reached out from behind and hugged Gu Jia's waist and said with a smile:

"Guess who I am?"

"Don't cause trouble, I'm busy."

Gu Jia said angrily while cutting vegetables. Yuan Xudong smiled. He hugged Gu Jia from behind, rested his chin on her left shoulder, looked at the pot of soup she was cooking, and smiled softly in her ear:
"Do you know that this pot of medicinal soup you made will cause a fire in men if they drink it?"

"You're talking nonsense, this is nourishing."

Turning to look at Yuan Xudong, Gu Jia smiled and said:
"This is soup for us women, why are you so angry?"

"What do you say?"

Looking at Gu Jia, Yuan Xudong smiled evilly and said:
"You are so nourishing, but won't I get angry?"

"Shameless~~"

Gu Jia cursed in a sweet voice. Yuan Xudong smiled. He hugged Gu Jia from behind, kissed her fair and slender neck, and murmured at the same time:

"Let's go to the hotel tonight, just the two of us. Today is your thirtieth birthday. I want you to remember tonight forever."

"Don't make trouble, I'm cooking."

Gu Jia pushed Yuan Xudong slightly. Her neck was very sensitive. Being kissed so wantonly by Yuan Xudong made her blush with embarrassment.

"I'm here to help you, happy birthday."

Yuan Xudong smiled softly and slowly raised his hands.
