The speaker was none other than Luo Ning’s mother-in-law, i Feng.
She had received a call from Manager Wang early this morning, inviting her and a few friends to see a new house. With nothing else to do, they all agreed to co and take a look together.
Manager Wang, the woman called, was two years older than i Feng. She wore a diamond necklace around her neck and a gold bracelet weighing around seventy to eighty grams on her wrist, dressed in a Gucci floral dress. Her presence completely overshadowed i Feng; it was clear she was wealthy.
"I checked out the apartnt at Greenfield Sonata, the layout was fine, but the service facilities were just so-so, so I sold it," Manager Wang said indifferently, "I heard that the houses by Bolaure in East City are the best. I ca to take a look, and if it’s suitable, I’ll buy one today."
i Feng said with envy, "Manager Wang, even the cheapest house at East City Bolaure costs over eight million... "
The rest of the sisters all looked up, their eyes filled with jealousy.
"Eight million is nothing. My son-in-law has plenty of money!" Manager Wang seed to enjoy their envious looks, casting a disdainful glance at i Feng, "i Feng, I heard your son-in-law has been living at your ho? He doesn’t have a job, right?"
"Not to speak ill of you, but your daughter Luo Ning may be pretty, but how could she have such poor taste? She chose such a good-for-nothing man as her son-in-law."
The rest of the sisters, who were just looking for an outlet for their frustration, perked up at these words.
"i Feng, Manager Wang is right. Why is there such a big gap between our sons-in-law?"
"Even if your son-in-law isn’t as good as Manager Wang’s, he should at least be able to afford a house in Imperial Scenic Gardens, right?"
"Forget about it. Imperial Scenic Gardens might be cheap with an average price of only twenty-five thousand per square ter, but a house there will still cost at least two to three million. Can your family, Mo Han, afford to pay that?"
"Exactly, I’ve heard it too. That young man has been unemployed for more than a year now. He just does the laundry and cooking at ho. A perfect example of a househusband. Where would he get that kind of money?"
"i Feng, a man needs to provide for the family and can’t always be idle at ho. If all else fails, let him find a job in an electronics factory. Even with overti, he could earn six or seven thousand a month..."
As she listened to everyone’s comnts, i Feng’s face instantly darkened.
Throughout the past year, these friends had made fun of Mo Han in front of her, and as soone who abhorred poverty and adored wealth, she had already accumulated a lot of anger towards Mo Han.
But in front of Manager Wang, she dared not explode in anger, so she could only smile awkwardly and said, "Manager Wang, we’re here to look at houses today. Why talk about such disheartening matters? Let’s hurry and go see the houses."
"That’s right, that’s right," laughed Manager Wang. She had mainly co to view houses today. The sense of superiority she flaunted in front of i Feng was just a bonus.
"Let’s go have a look at the sand table. I heard that the 188 layout is quite nice, and the price is only ten million. Quite a bargain."
When Luo Ning and Mo Han saw i Feng and the other aunties approaching, they were both stunned. Even Mo Xiaochen was a bit taken aback.
Luo Ning stepped forward with a puzzled face, "Mom, what are you doing here?"
Seeing her daughter, i Feng was also taken by surprise, "I’m here with Manager Wang to look at houses. Wait, what are you doing here?"
At this mont, Mo Han stepped forward with his daughter, smiling, "We’re also here to look at houses."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, i Feng’s face turned dark in an instant, as she was all too aware of the family’s financial situation.
Forget about buying a house at East City Bolaure, they didn’t even have the money to buy one in Imperial Scenic Gardens.
And yet, there was Mo Han, brashly claiming to be looking at houses here. Could he even afford it?
When the group of aunties heard this, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Oh, i Feng, isn’t that your daughter and son-in-law? What a coincidence seeing them here. Your son-in-law just said sothing, didn’t he? That they’re also here at Bolaure to view houses?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, viewing houses? That ans buying a house in Bolaure? i Feng, your son-in-law is quite sothing, able to afford a house here in Bolaure..."
"Are you the good-for-nothing son-in-law of i Feng?" Manager Wang looked down her nose at Mo Han with a disdainful expression, "He looks alright, but it’s a pity he doesn’t have money and yet talks big."
"Do you know how much a house in Bolaure costs? As a son-in-law who’s co into the family like this, can you afford a house here?"
Unnecessarily insulted, Mo Han was not going to take it lying down. He looked at Manager Wang coolly and said indifferently, "Whether I can afford it or not, what’s it to you?"
"What am I? How dare you talk to like that?" yelled Manager Wang, pointing at i Feng, "i Feng, if you don’t make him apologize to today, don’t bother hanging out with us anymore!"
Manager Wang’s family had money, and her daughter had married a successful son-in-law. She routinely treated these ladies to als, spa sessions, and mahjong gas, making her the undisputed leader of the group.
Her statent about not playing with them anymore imdiately sent i Feng into a panic.
"Manager Wang, don’t be angry, I’ll make him apologize right now," i Feng quickly bowed and apologized, then she turned around and, without hesitation, slapped Mo Han across the face.
"Mo Han! You son of a bitch! Who allowed you to speak to Manager Wang like that? Apologize to her right now!"
