Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

Chapter 211 Mother-in-law meets son-in-law!

The next morning, He Jieyu woke Zhao Zixuan up from his dream early.

She was preparing to go to the airport to pick him up, while Zhao Zixuan had an important task - to buy a gift and book a restaurant.

Zhao Zixuan wandered on the street for a long time, but still couldn't decide what kind of gift to buy.

Finally, at He Jieyu's suggestion, he decided to choose a special gift - the same tennis racket as Sharapova's.

The price is not expensive, just above four figures.

After purchasing gifts, Zhao Zixuan came to the Michelin restaurant that he had booked in advance.

Although it was still early, he was already sitting in the restaurant, quietly waiting for He Jieyu and her mother to arrive.

Zhao Zixuan took it very seriously when meeting his parents for the first time.

He wore a black suit with a white shirt, still without a tie, and trousers and leather shoes. He seldom wore such formal attire, and even when he went to the company for meetings, he dressed semi-casually. It was conceivable how much importance he attached to this meeting.

Zhao Zixuan sat alone in the restaurant and waited until noon when He Jieyu and her mother finally arrived.

When Zhao Zixuan saw He Jieyu's mother for the first time, he was surprised to find that she looked strikingly similar to He Jieyu.

It was as if He Jieyu would grow up to look like her mother, especially the look in their eyes and eyebrows, which were almost cast in the same mold.

Moreover, He Jieyu's mother looks very young, and outsiders may mistakenly think that they are sisters rather than mother and daughter.

Even if he only looked at her appearance and didn't know the inside story, Zhao Zixuan would think that He Jieyu's mother was at most thirty years old. But since she was able to give birth to a seventeen-year-old daughter, it was obviously impossible for her to be that age.

All I can say is that she takes good care of herself and has the secret to staying young.

After meeting, Zhao Zixuan first greeted He's mother: "Hello, Auntie."

He Jieyu and her mother walked up to Zhao Zixuan. He's mother looked at Zhao Zixuan carefully for a while, then slowly said, "You are Zhao Zixuan? You are really promising at a young age."

Zhao Zixuan's heart was moved, and he responded modestly: "You are too kind, Auntie. Please take a seat. I don't know what you like to eat. How about you order the dishes?"

He's mother and her daughter sat down gracefully. Her eyes never left Zhao Zixuan. There seemed to be something meaningful in her eyes. She said pointedly, "Just watch it. It doesn't matter what you eat. What matters is who you eat with and what the purpose of eating is."

Zhao Zixuan nodded slightly and handed the task of ordering food to He Jieyu. Then he took out the gift he had prepared long ago and handed it respectfully to He's mother with both hands.

"I heard from Jieyu that you like to play tennis, so I specially picked a pair of tennis rackets for you." Zhao Zixuan said sincerely.

He's mother took the racket but did not open it immediately. Instead, she looked at Zhao Zixuan with an intriguing look, as if she wanted to see his heart through his appearance.

Zhao Zixuan felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze.

He Jieyu immediately interrupted when she saw this: "Mom, don't you want to open it and take a look? This gift was specially prepared for you by Zixuan."

He's mother opened the gift as she was told, and when she saw it was the same racket as Sharapova's, she knew in her heart that this was her daughter's little thought.

There is no place for women to stay in college!

Mother He sighed inwardly, re-examining Zhao Zixuan and said, "You're thoughtful. Zixuan, I heard that you're studying directing at the Central Academy of Drama. Why don't you consider studying finance?"

Zhao Zixuan answered frankly: "I personally like the film industry more. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this. In the future, I want to make an autobiography movie and weave some of my personal experiences and life experiences into the movie."

He's mother nodded to show her understanding, but her words were not very nice.

She said: "It's good for young people to have dreams, but they can't ignore the development of their careers. The Heguang Technology Company you founded has a bright future. You should put more energy into the operation of the company instead of indulging in pleasure too early."

Zhao Zixuan just smiled faintly and said nothing.

He Jieyu was keenly aware of his discomfort, and she changed the subject lightly: "Brother, which dish do you think is the most delicious here?"

Zhao Zixuan recommended two signature dishes without any hesitation: "Cornish lobster and Welsh grouse, both of which are specialties here."

At this time, He's mother's words made the atmosphere instantly awkward: "I can't eat seafood or chicken recently."

Zhao Zixuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and a sense of helplessness arose in his heart.

This aunt's behavior today is really strange. It doesn't look like she is here to meet her son-in-law, but more like she is here to cause trouble.

He Jieyu also sensed the subtle atmosphere, so she quickly took the menu and handed it to her mother: "Mom, then you order something."

But He's mother shook her head and pushed the menu back to Zhao Zixuan: "Zixuan, just order whatever you want. I trust your taste."

Zhao Zixuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and order a table of dishes. Except for seafood and chicken, everything else was served. However, before the dishes were served, He's mother brought the topic back to him.

"Zixuan, I heard that you have a lot of female confidantes around you."

He's mother's tone was light, but it carried a dignity that could not be ignored. "Originally, I didn't want to ask too much about this kind of thing. After all, it is your own business. It is normal for an excellent man to have a few women around him. As long as you can grasp the measure and know who is the most important woman to you, that's enough."

"What do you think?" He's mother stared at Zhao Zixuan closely, her bright eyes flashing with sharp light, as if she could see through people's thoughts at a glance.

He Jieyu felt the tense atmosphere, and she quickly held her mother's hand, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Mom, Zixuan is very nice to me, please stop making blind guesses."

However, He's mother didn't mean to stop there: "What's good about that? It's fine that he left you to meet other women during the day, but at night he hid two women in the room. How can that be called being good to you?"

Her tone became colder and colder, and her eyes flashed with an icy light, as if she could kill someone with just one glare.

Having said that, Zhao Zixuan already understood the purpose of the other party's visit.

Obviously, his amorous behavior yesterday deeply hurt the mother who loved her daughter.

He thought for a moment, then said solemnly: "Auntie, I like Jieyu very much. I believe Jieyu has the same feelings for me. I am confident that I can bring her happiness, and I promise that no matter what happens in the future, I will do my best to treat her well. This is my attitude, whether you believe it or not."

"Brother..." He Jieyu was deeply touched after hearing this. Her eyes turned slightly red and she looked at Zhao Zixuan lovingly. She wanted to say something but stopped.

Mother He's eyes flickered as she stared at Zhao Zixuan and said, "Anyone can say nice things, but no matter how sweet your words sound, it's better to prove yourself with actions."

Zhao Zixuan frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean by actual action?"

He's mother said bluntly: "It's very simple. Give half of the shares of Heguang Technology to Jieyu. Only then can I believe that you are sincere to my daughter!"

Her words made Zhao Zixuan want to sneer out loud, and he almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Why did she have the courage to say such a blatantly snatched line?
Is this also considered a wealthy wife?

Are you sure she isn't the wife of a bandit who was kidnapped to the mountain by bandits?

"Don't worry, my daughter will never take your shares for nothing."

Mother He's tone was full of confidence and calmness, as if everything was under her control. "In exchange, I will give you a generous dowry, the value of which is not only not less than the actual valuation of half of Heguang Technology's shares, but may even be higher. This is my attitude!"

Zhao Zixuan lowered his head and remained silent.

Talking about feelings turned into talking about business, and this is not something that can be decided in a short period of time.

He must think it over carefully.

"Auntie, I would like to ask, when did you start eyeing the shares of Heguang Technology?"

As Zhao Zixuan spoke, he met the greedy eyes of He's mother. If he still couldn't see through He's mother's true intentions, then all his life experiences over the years would be in vain.

He Jieyu's expression changed slightly. She turned to her mother and asked questioningly, "Mom, you have been eyeing Zixuan's company for a long time, right? How could you do this?"

He's mother seemed a little surprised by Zhao Zixuan's directness, but she remained calm and comforted He Jieyu, "Jieyu, don't get me wrong. This matter is not as simple as you think. Marriage is a matter between two families. The reason I do this is for your own good..."

He Jieyu couldn't listen.

She firmly believes that love is pure and sacred, and should not be tainted by any external factors, let alone have anything to do with money or interests.

She resolutely walked up to Zhao Zixuan, held his hand tightly, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Brother, don't listen to my mother's nonsense. I don't want the shares of your company. I don't want our relationship to be mixed with anything unclean. That's not the love I want!"

Zhao Zixuan held her soft little hand and responded gently: "Don't worry, I understand you. This is not your problem, it's just that your mother doesn't understand you."

He Jieyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She was particularly afraid that Zhao Zixuan would be angry about this, because if it were her, she would have been angry to death.

Love is love, why should it be tied to money and interests?
Is this how adults view love?
In He Jieyu's innocent heart, she couldn't help but question the adults' views on love.

Is it that in their eyes, love is just an exchange of interests and a game of power?
Even if such a union finally comes together, how much real happiness and meaning can it bring?

Just as He Jieyu was immersed in her own thoughts, her mother's voice interrupted her meditation: "Zixuan, Jieyu is still young. She doesn't understand what true feelings are, nor does she understand the cruelty of reality. But you are a wise person. I hope you can think carefully about what happened today. When you think it through, call me."

As she spoke, He's mother handed over a business card and then turned and left.

The atmosphere at the table became heavy. He's mother did not take He Jieyu away immediately, but she only gave He Jieyu one meal time to have her last lunch with Zhao Zixuan.
