Chapter 24: This Son-in-Law is Too Generous

Indeed, the uncles and aunties downstairs, the young men and women, were all exceptionally enthusiastic.

“Oh! Nanxi is up, haven’t had breakfast yet, right? Auntie just started cooking, come and eat with Auntie.”

“Our Nanxi is getting more and more beautiful, like a celestial being, and the husband she found is handsome too!”

“Nanxi, bring your husband to eat at Auntie’s table!”

…

Just when Xia Nanxi didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, Zhan Chengyan spoke with the air of a big leader.

“Thank you all for your love for Nanxi and me. Today’s breakfast for everyone is on me! I hope you all enjoy your food and drinks!”

There were twenty or so guests here, and they immediately erupted in excitement.

“Finally, a generous son-in-law has emerged from our Yangchang Lake! Thank you!”

“Birds of a feather flock together, this young Zhan is handsome and kind-hearted, he’s a perfect match for Nanxi!”

There were also a few jealous people who didn’t speak so nicely.

For example, Qiu Hongmin, who was close to Xia Zilin, sneered: “Nanxi, I’m not saying this to be mean, but is your husband addicted to showing off? You’re already selling your pots and pans to show off, and now you’re even using your parents’ buns for free? What’s the use of being handsome, he’s still a scumbag.”

Zhan Chengyan swept her with a cold glance, “Don’t worry, I would never let my father-in-law and mother-in-law work so hard in vain. I will pay them double for the breakfast. Personal feelings are personal feelings, business is business. But today I’m treating everyone, just for a good time together, if you’re not happy, please leave.”

In other words, I’m not treating you, if you want to eat, pay for it yourself, if you don’t, get out.

Others chimed in.

“Hongmin, you’re so clueless, Nanxi’s husband is kindly treating us to breakfast, what are you rambling about?”

“Exactly, he can afford to buy a few hundred thousand yuan worth of wine, treating us to breakfast shows his love for us, his fellow villagers, and it also shows how much he values Nanxi, how can you connect it with showing off? Truly, a dark heart sees everything in black.”

“You’re not young anymore, if you’re jealous that Nanxi found such a good husband, go find one yourself.”

“If you don’t want to eat, go home quickly, don’t spoil our mood.”

…

Everyone was talking at once, Qiu Hongmin directly put down her chopsticks and left.

It wasn’t that others were excluding her, but she was just like Xia Zilin, arrogant and haughty, but she didn’t have Xia Zilin’s beauty.

Xia Nanxi was truly impressed by Zhan Chengyan, facing so many people’s “warm greetings,” he was able to handle it all with ease, calm and collected, making people feel comfortable like a spring breeze.

She didn’t care, she just buried her head and ate.

After all the guests left, Zhan Chengyan asked Xia Changyuan, “Dad, how much is all this breakfast today? I’ll pay by card.”

Xia Changyuan wiped his hands and said, “We’re family, why would I take your money?”

But Zhan Chengyan insisted, “I said before, business is business, there are no fathers on the battlefield, and there are no personal feelings in business.”

Many businesses seem to be thriving, but when you calculate it carefully, they are all losing money, the reason being that they do too many favors.

Business, as long as it’s not a profiteering industry, the rest is all about the boss deducting a little bit here and there, saving a little bit there, only then can they accumulate little by little and make big money.

Xia Changyuan looked up at him, a meaningful smile on his face, “You kid, you’re smart, Dad is impressed!”

Then he took out the POS machine, “It’s 720 yuan, swipe it!”

Actually, just the twenty or so guests couldn’t have eaten that much, the key was that the uncles and aunties packed a lot to take home, saying they were going to feed the dog.

After paying, Zhan Chengyan said, “Dad, Mom, Xiaoxi, I still have things to do at the company, I have to work overtime, I’ll go first, I’ll come back next time.”

Xu Xiufen originally wanted him to stay for lunch, but now she was embarrassed to keep him, “Xiaoxi, go see Chengyan off.”

“No need, the company sent a car to pick me up.”

“Okay, be careful on the road.”

“Okay, Mom.”

Before leaving, Zhan Chengyan rubbed Xia Nanxi’s head, “See you tomorrow, little one.”

Xia Nanxi hadn’t even spoken when Zhan Chengyan was already gone.

He walked for two miles before getting into the Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside.
