Chapter 18: “Cousin-in-law, do you have a house and a car?”

Cai Guixiang’s face was ashen, her heart filled with jealousy that was about to explode.

But with so many people watching, she had to force a smile and say, “Alright, thank you, sister-in-law.”

However, Xia Zilin, sitting beside her, felt a pang of heartache.

If she had known that Zhan Chengyan was so rich and handsome, she would have never given him up to Xia Nanxi!

As a result, she ate her meal like wax, unable to utter a single word.

Watching Zhan Chengyan gracefully serve Xia Nanxi food, then looking at Wang Jianzhou, who was eating meat in a rather vulgar manner, she felt even worse.

Wang Jianzhou wasn’t a fool either, and he noticed his fiancée’s change in mood.

It must be because she saw how wealthy and handsome Nanxi’s man was, and she was unhappy about it.

Of course, he himself felt overshadowed and had nowhere to vent his anger.

After a few drinks, he turned to Zhan Chengyan with a slightly aggressive tone, “I heard you’re from the countryside, Cousin-in-law, but you look like a gentleman, not a commoner. I wonder which university you graduated from and where you work?”

Zhan Chengyan looked at him as if he were an idiot. Normally, he wouldn’t even bother with someone like Wang Jianzhou.

But since they were at the Xia family’s, he could only answer politely, “I graduated from Yale University with a doctorate in business and work for Fenglei Group.”

When Mr. Xia heard this, he was shocked.

“Wow, Old Zhan, you raised such an outstanding grandson.”

Even as an old man, he knew that Yale University was ranked number one in the world, and Fenglei Group was the second largest company in their country.

This son-in-law was a dragon among men!

Wang Jianzhou was embarrassed, but he was unwilling to give up and wanted to save face.

He continued, “Then you must have a good salary, Cousin-in-law. Did you buy a house and a car in Huadu?”

“Of course, two houses and two cars.”

“May I ask, how big are your houses, where are they located, and what kind of cars do you have?”

Wang Jianzhou was relentless, he couldn’t believe that a country bumpkin could be richer than him, the son of a hotel owner!

Zhan Chengyan was in a dilemma. He actually had over twenty cars in his garage.

As for real estate, he had even more. He had just said it casually, but Wang Jianzhou kept asking, how should he answer?

Seeing him remain silent, Cai Guixiang thought he was being evasive and sneered, “It’s okay, Little Zhan, even if the car is a bit worse and the house is a bit remote, as long as you have them. Your brother-in-law bought a small villa for your sister, only 160 square meters, within the fifth ring road, costing 9 million!”

Zhan Chengyan nodded, “Yeah, not bad. My car is just for transportation, I won’t mention it. As for the houses, one is in the suburbs, and the other is a smaller one in Guchen Yipin, only about 200 square meters.”

“Bang!”

Wang Jianzhou slammed his wine glass down on the table and said in a drunken voice, “I consider you a brother, Cousin-in-law, but you’re treating me like a fool! You’re just bragging, do you know how much a square meter costs in Guchen Yipin? Over 300,000! 200 square meters would be around 70 to 80 million!”

Cai Guixiang joined in with a mocking laugh, “I really thought Xi had married a high-achiever, a rich man! Turns out he’s just a braggart, buying all these good wine and cigarettes. I tell you, Little Zhan, there’s no need for that, you’re poor, don’t try to act rich!”

She had always thought that Xia Nanxi, a picked-up girl, couldn’t be better than her precious daughter.

Xia Nanxi was angry, “What are you saying, Aunt? My husband really…”

But before she could finish, Zhan Chengyan pulled her hand, “No need to explain, eat.”

Old Master Xia was afraid that if he continued talking, everyone would be embarrassed, so he quickly invited everyone to eat.

Zhan Chengyan’s calm and unbothered attitude made Cai Guixiang and the others believe he was guilty, just a poor country bumpkin!

He tried to show off, but he failed!
