Chapter 52 [Rich Relatives]

On the same day, Li Wendi's family received an invitation to move into a new house from their cousin's family, asking Li Wendi and his family to attend on Saturday.

Li Wendi saw that his mother Guo Cuiting was a little entangled, and related memories emerged in his mind, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

The cousin is Guo Cuiting's cousin (the daughter of her great-uncle). She married a plastic flower businessman thirty years ago, so her family is much better off than the Li family. The cousin also ignores the Li family, so it was really surprising that they sent this invitation now, after all, they haven't been in touch for five or six years.

I heard from other relatives that my cousin's husband has switched to real estate and his net worth has increased several times. However, the law of 'rich men will become bad' also applies to my cousin's family. But my cousin is a smart person and is unwilling to give up this glory, so she adopts an attitude of acquiescence and ignorance.

Now that I have moved into the villa as I wished, I naturally want to show off in front of all my relatives and regain the face I had lost.

In his past and present lives, Li Wendi's attitude towards such relatives has always been to ignore them and do his best to show favors (give a red envelope but not be present). He doesn't want to be belittled by others, nor does he want to see others showing off. However, he still wants to respect Guo Cuiting's opinion. If Guo Cuiting is willing to go, he and Li Xiaonan will go with her, as it would be a bit too weak for his mother to go alone.

"You don't want to go? We can ask other relatives to help take the red envelopes over." Li Wendi suggested softly.

Guo Cuiting did not respond to Li Wendi. She looked at the invitation attentively with her reading glasses, giving people a depressed feeling.

Li Wendi sat with her and did not ask any further questions.

After several minutes, Guo Cuiting slowly said, "Let's go there as a family. Are you free to accompany me?"

Li Wendi smiled and said, "Of course, we also have a villa in Deep Water Bay."

"." Guo Cuiting was stunned, and then asked nervously, "Where did you get the money? Did you earn it by doing something illegal?"

Li Wendi comforted him, "This is the money I, your son, made from real estate speculation. Actually, this villa is not for living in, but for investment. I will sell it in the future. But if you want to live in the villa, I can keep it for you."

In his previous life, Li Wendi was a filial son. Although he did not have a deep relationship with Guo Cuiting, he accepted this body and naturally had to be filial to the original owner's mother.

Hearing this, Guo Cuiting felt relieved and shook her head, "Since it's a business, let's sell it. I live in Sai Wan and it's quite good, and it's convenient for Xiaonan to go to school."

"Okay! When you go to your cousin's house, you can show off your power and make sure that your cousin and the others won't look down on you." Li Wendi said half-jokingly.

Everyone has relatives who despise the poor and love the rich! The best way to deal with it is to be richer than her.

Guo Cuiting patted Li Wendi on the shoulder and said calmly, "I am already this old, why should I be so arrogant? As long as you can be 'natural' (sensible) and Xiaonan is admitted to university, it doesn't matter what they say."

"Don't worry, I will focus on my business from now on and try not to get involved in other things."

"That's good!"

Saturday

In order to save face for Guo Cuiting, Li Wendi got a car. As for the driver's license, he spent 2000 yuan to get it. In his previous life, he was an experienced driver with more than ten years of driving experience, so driving a car was a piece of cake for him.

Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at their cousin's aunt's villa, where many relatives were already present.

Of course Li Wendi didn't know many of them, but as a son, he had to follow his mother to say hello everywhere and get to know some distant relatives.

Although he was not very interested in these relationships, Li Wendi still used the business skills he had in his previous life, which immediately made Guo Cuiting blush.

"A-Ting, I haven't seen you for several years! These two are Wendi and Xiaonan, right? They have grown so big in the blink of an eye." Aunt Qian Ying, who was wearing a cheongsam, said with a smile, "How are you doing recently? I thought you wouldn't come."

"How is it? My newly bought villa is pretty good, isn't it? It's worth more than 100 million yuan." Qian Ying raised his hands, pointed to both sides, and said proudly. Li Wendi couldn't stand Qian Ying's pretense, which was too stiff.

"Cousin, your villa is okay, almost the same as mine." Li Wendi replied indifferently.

"Your villa?! Do you have the money to buy a villa?" Qian Ying didn't believe that Li Wendi, who was a small gangster, and Guo Cuiting, who ran a convenience store, could afford to buy a villa. "Wendi, it's good for young people to have ideals, but don't act so arrogant."

"If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. This is not something worth bragging about." Li Wendi smiled slightly.

Guo Cuiting pulled Li Wendi and signaled him to stop talking.

"A Ting, did your family really buy a villa?" Qian Ying felt that Guo Cuiting was an honest person and would not lie like Li Wendi.

Before Guo Cuiting could respond, a familiar voice came over, "Mr. Li, how come it's such a coincidence that I can run into you here today!"

Li Wendi turned around and saw that the person who was speaking was Chen Xingzhou, followed by Chen Jinxi, both of them holding a glass of red wine.

"It turns out to be Mr. Chen and Miss Chen." Li Wendi shook hands with Chen Xingzhou and nodded to Chen Jinxi. "The host here is my cousin's husband. Could it be that Mr. Chen and I are also relatives?"

"Haha!! Mr. Bao Ligui is my father's friend. I am here today on behalf of my father to congratulate Bao on his birth." Chen Xingzhou smiled without any embarrassment.

Qian Ying, who was standing by, widened her eyes a little, and it was not until Chen Xingzhou spoke to her that she reacted.

"I didn't expect that Mrs. Bao is Mr. Li's aunt. It seems that we have a deep connection." Chen Xingzhou said.

Seeing this, other relatives began to say goodbye and leave, or sneak away. They really were not suitable to stay in this kind of interpersonal relationship.

"Xingzhou, how did you and Wendy know each other?" Qian Ying was very clear about the power of the Chen family. Her family's company also had cooperative projects with the Chen family, so Qian Ying's attitude towards Chen Xingzhou was somewhat flattering.

"Mr. Li has had some cooperation with Chen Jewelry, and it just so happened that I was responsible for those projects." Chen Xingzhou explained.

Hearing this, Qian Ying no longer doubted the authenticity of Li Wendi buying the villa. Instead, she said a few words to Li Wendi and ran away in shame.

Guo Cuiting and her daughter also left to find some relatives to chat with so as not to disturb Li Wendi and the others.

"Thank you!" Li Wendi smiled slightly.

Chen Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, then he figured out why Li Wendi wanted to thank him, so he took advantage of the situation and asked, "What business are you busy with recently, Mr. Li?"

"I haven't done anything. I've been running a clothing factory." Li Wendi seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness of the past few days. "Why? Does Mr. Chen have any good business to recommend?"

Chen Xingzhou shook his head. "Not yet. Maybe in the future. But I don't know if Mr. Li will still be willing to cooperate with me by then."

Soon, Li Wendi's cousin Bao Qingfan came over and said, "Mr. Chen, why are you here? It took me so long to find you!"

Bao Qingfan sat down with a smile, as if he didn't see Li Wendi.

"When you meet a friend, you naturally have to chat." Chen Xingzhou smiled politely.
