118: Which one is your brother's house?
Lin Shanshan sat in Chen Yujie's Sagitar, her expression looking rather unpleasant.
Looking out the window, the elegant and imposing Volvo belonging to Chen Qius Parents was somewhat of an eyesore.
Having witnessed Chen Qiu buying a pile of luxury goods for a pretty girl with her own eyes, she knew full well that Chen Qiu was not merely putting on a front as Huang Hui claimed.
Yet, even though she had been so eager to cozy up to Chen Qiu, the latter still ignored her completely.
Because of this, Lin Shanshan harbored some resentment toward him.
Now, whenever Huang Hui gossiped about him for no reason, she would chime in with a few words.
She even hoped in her heart that Huang Hui was right, and that Chen Qiu was merely a hollow shell, a fake wealthy person.
That would make her feel a bit better.
But now, seeing proof of Chen Qiu's wealth once again, the depression, jealousy, and unwillingness to accept reality surged up in Lin Shanshan's heart again.
He bought his parents a car worth four or five hundred thousand, so if it were his fiancée, wouldn't he have to arrange a million-dollar luxury car?
Looking at the Sagitar she was sitting in now, she just felt like she was in a cheap car made of plastic parts.
She felt uncomfortable all over!
"Chen Yujie, when we get engaged, we must get a new car!"
Even with Huang Hui sitting in the front, Lin Shanshan said firmly.
Chen Yujie looked at his mother awkwardly.
Huang Hui, sitting in the passenger seat, also felt a bit stifled.
"Change it!"
"We will definitely change it!"
Huang Hui gritted her teeth and spat out the words.
Originally, she had planned to discuss whether or not to buy a new car when the two of them got married.
After all, they had borrowed some money to buy this house and needed some breathing room.
But she hadn't expected that Chen Zhide and Luo Jinglan would actually drive over in a car worth four or five hundred thousand!
As Luo Jinglan's sister-in-law, her sense of superiority in front of this family had lasted for ten or twenty years!
Who among the Chen family's relatives and friends didn't know that her family, the eldest, was more successful than the second son's family?
Now that it was her Housewarming Banquet, the second son's family's car was one or two times more expensive than hers; wasn't that clearly outdoing her?
She had intended to show off at the Housewarming Banquet to vent her frustrations, but instead, she was being outdone again.
Thinking of this, Huang Hui felt extremely uncomfortable!
This car must be changed!
She didn't want to be inferior to Luo Jinglan when Chen Yujie got engaged or married!
Thinking of this, Huang Hui sent another voice message to He Lan.
"Older female cousin, just look for Chen Zhifeng when you arrive; he's over at the hotel."
"Mm, we'll be there soon."
Hearing this, Huang Hui felt a slight boost in spirits.
He Lan's family was arriving; it was time to let these poor relatives of the Chen family see what a truly wealthy person looked like!
Admittedly, no matter how rich He Lan's family was, it didn't have much to do with her.
But she just couldn't stand seeing Luo Jinglan's family get ahead!
She sent a message to her husband, Chen Zhifeng, telling him to wait for He Lan's family at the hotel entrance.
"Shanshan, didn't you always want to meet your Maternal Aunt's daughter? She'll be coming over later. You are both young women, so you should have plenty to talk about."
Sitting in the back seat, Lin Shanshan heard this and felt unsure about the actual relationship between this Maternal Aunt's family and her future mother-in-law.
Previously, they had said they would gift a sofa and a bed, but in the end, it seemed Huang Hui had paid for them herself.
Could it be that Huang Hui didn't want to take advantage of them?
Her future mother-in-law didn't look like the type who wouldn't take advantage of a situation.
"Whether they are really rich or not, we'll know once we see what kind of car they drive later."
Lin Shanshan thought to herself.
Twenty minutes later.
Chen Yujie and his group arrived at the Grand Skylight Hotel first.
Huang Hui had sharp eyes and immediately spotted her husband, Chen Zhifeng, and He Lan's family, with whom he was chatting.
"Looks like they just arrived."
Huang Hui hurriedly got out of the car and walked over.
Her gaze lingered for a moment on the mercedes-benz beside them.
Like that Chen Qiu, with his "mobile phone car" and whatever "Vol-something" off-brand... just grandstanding!
A big Benz! That's the standard for the wealthy!
Chen Yujie and Lin Shanshan also got out of the car and followed closely behind.
The latter saw the elegant mercedes-benz, paused for a moment, and recognized it as a mercedes-benz s-class!
Hiss!
A million-dollar luxury car!
It seems Huang Hui wasn't lying; these are truly rich people!
"Sister Lan!"
Huang Hui greeted He Lan with a beaming smile.
Then she looked at He Yongliang and said, slightly reserved,
"Brother-in-law, you look more and more like a big boss these days!"
He Yongliang glanced at her indifferently.
"Mm, you bought in Xingzhou Bay, right? I looked at that complex when it was first developed; it's quite good."
He Yongliang was dressed in a suit and was very serious; this demeanor looked exactly like a big boss from a TV drama!
Coupled with the big Benz next to him...
And hearing these understated words...
This is what a rich person is!
Huang Hui's eyes carried a hint of awe as she looked at He Yongliang.
"This must be He Ting, she's getting prettier and prettier!"
Huang Hui complimented He Ting again.
The latter nodded indifferently without greeting her.
Huang Hui didn't mind; rich people are naturally a bit aloof!
Instead, she pulled Chen Yujie and Lin Shanshan over.
"Come, come, Yujie, Shanshan, why aren't you greeting them?"
"Maternal Aunt, Maternal Uncle!"
"So this is Shanshan? She looks like a virtuous and good girl at first glance."
He Lan smiled and nodded, then took out a red envelope and handed it over.
"This is a small token from your Maternal Aunt; please accept it."
The two looked at Huang Hui, who nodded, and Lin Shanshan immediately accepted it.
"Thank you, Maternal Aunt."
Lin Shanshan lightly squeezed the thickness of the red envelope, feeling a slight stir in her heart.
"It should be four digits..."
Giving a red envelope upon first meeting—this is much more generous than other relatives!
Furthermore, she had just secretly looked at this Maternal Aunt's daughter, He Ting. She was dressed quite simply, but it all seemed to be big brands!
She was very beautiful, and this arrogant, cold demeanor was exactly what she imagined herself to be.
Must build a good relationship!
At this moment, other neighbors also arrived one after another.
Huang Hui wanted to show off in front of these neighbors, especially Luo Jinglan and her husband, so she didn't usher them inside but instead waved at them.
Seeing this, He Yongliang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked over somewhat nervously.
They came here today precisely for Chen Qius Parents!
Originally, he didn't even want to give this red envelope as a meeting gift.
But on second thought, if he misjudged the relationship between Huang Hui and Chen Qiu's family, that would be bad.
Giving a red envelope, after all, was only one or two thousand yuan; it added a bit of insurance, allowing him to advance or retreat as needed.
The Chen family's relatives did not know He Yongliang and He Lan.
But the relatives on Huang Hui's side were very familiar with them.
Ever since they became successful, they had been very arrogant among their relatives!
But arrogant as they were, in their understanding, the other party's status as an engineering boss meant they had wide connections and resources!
Just these two points alone were enough to make them rush to greet them.
However, they would mutter in their hearts: This He Yongliang and He Lan usually don't contact relatives; how did they end up attending Huang Hui's Housewarming Banquet?
"Sister Lan, this bag of yours isn't cheap, right?"
"It's alright, thirty thousand yuan..."
"Brother Liang, when did you get the mercedes-benz s-class? It's so imposing!"
"I've had it for two years..."
"This is He Ting, right? I heard you work at a bank?"
"Mm..."
The Huang family relatives' flattery, like stars surrounding the moon, made the relatives on the Chen side somewhat astonished.
A twenty-thousand yuan bag?
A mercedes-benz s-class?
Huang Hui has such wealthy relatives?
Huang Hui could feel their astonished gazes, and her eyes couldn't help but sweep over Chen Zhide and Luo Jinglan, who had just walked over; her lost sense of superiority seemed to return.
However, at this moment, He Lan's voice reached her ears.
"Huang Hui, Zhifeng, which one is your brother's house?"
