Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk! - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Even TV Wouldn’t Dare to Show This

Zhao Yuxin, as well as Xu Deming and Jiang Qiuping, hurried over to help carry things.

Seeing the dazzling array of items, Jiang Qiuping scolded, “What are you thinking, buying so many things when coming back? How much money must have been spent?”

The things here included alcohol and tobacco, as well as quite a few nutritional supplements, some clothes, and shoes.

In addition, they bought a watch for each of them, and also bought a pair of jade bracelets for Jiang Qiuping, along with other items.

In short, the trunk was filled to the brim.

Although she scolded with her mouth, Jiang Qiuping was actually very happy in her heart.

“Mom, I’ve grown up, I can earn money now, and also, many of these things were bought by Yu Xin, as presents for you. They’re gifts from your daughter-in-law; you can’t possibly refuse them,” Xu Yang said while taking the items out.

“Of course we want them, who says we don’t? If Yu Xin bought them, how can we not take them?” Jiang Qiuping’s face lit up with a smile upon hearing they were bought by Zhao Yuxin.

Despite the brief exchange earlier, Jiang Qiuping was extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

She could tell that not only was Zhao Yuxin beautiful, but she also had a good character.

Such a daughter-in-law was hard to find even with a lantern.

She looked at Zhao Yuxin, “Yu Xin, thank you, ah.”

Zhao Yuxin shook her head, “Mom, there’s no need for politeness, it’s my first time meeting you all, buying these things is only proper.”

Xu Yang said, “Mom, Zhao Yuxin, stop chatting for now, let’s hurry and carry the stuff; everybody pitch in, and we can take it all up in one trip.”

Xu Yang certainly wouldn’t stand on ceremony with his mom; after all, she often handled the supermarket goods, sometimes having to move them around.

With family, there’s no need for such affectation.

“Alright, alright, let’s go home first, we’ll talk after we get home,” Jiang Qiuping said with a nod.

The few of them came together to help carry the items, and indeed, they managed to carry everything up in one trip.

Of course, Xu Yang and Xu Deming carried the most, handling the heaviest items.

Zhao Yuxin and Jiang Qiuping only symbolically carried some very light items, like clothes and shoes, which weren’t heavy.

Back at home, Xu Yang hadn’t even sat down when he said, “Mom, get started on cooking, I’m starving. We ate at a service area on the highway for lunch, and the food there wasn’t tasty; I’ve been waiting to come back and eat the food you make.”

“Alright, you all just wait, I’ll start stir-frying right away, and it will be ready quickly,” Jiang Qiuping said as she put the things down and went into the kitchen to cook.

The prep work had already been prepared, only the cooking was left.

“Mom, let me help you,” Zhao Yuxin offered very actively, following her into the kitchen.

“Yu Xin, there’s no need for you to help. How could I let you do that? You should go out and just wait to eat,” Jiang Qiuping naturally couldn’t allow her new daughter-in-law to lift a finger.

“Mom, it’s okay, I often cook at home. Ever since I started university, I’ve been the one cooking for my dad’s birthday every year. I might not cook as well as you do, but I can at least help you out. You don’t have to be polite with me,” Zhao Yuxin insisted.

She had already registered her marriage with Xu Yang and completely considered herself a part of the Xu family.

“Ah, such a sensible child. Actually, you really don’t have to help. The vegetables have already been chopped and prepared. We can just chat, you can pass me a bowl or serve a dish,” Jiang Qiuping said helplessly.

In the living room.

The father and son duo sat on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting.

“So tell me, what’s going on?” Xu Deming unwrapped the Huazi cigarettes Xu Yang had bought, lit one up, and asked leisurely.

“Dad, what do you mean ‘what’s going on’?” Xu Yang was somewhat clueless as to what his father was asking.

“I heard you mention earlier that your car costs eight million, and now you’re doing small business?”

“Aren’t you working at a listed company? How could you afford such an expensive car, and why have you switched to doing small business?”

“Also, you’ve bought a villa in Jiangcheng? What’s that about? How do you have so much money?”

Xu Deming posed a series of questions.

“Oh, that,” Xu Yang considered his words, “recently, I made some money in the futures market, quite a lot in the antiques market actually, and I’ve resigned from that listed company. I’ve started my own business now. I didn’t tell you guys before because it’s hard to explain over the phone. I’ll explain it at dinner later; otherwise, I’ll have to repeat everything again to Mom.”

“Okay.” Xu Deming nodded, “As long as it’s nothing illegal, we won’t interfere with whatever you do.”

Xu Yang said, “Dad, don’t worry, I know my limits and will absolutely not do anything illegal.”

Xu Deming nodded again, “That’s good.”

Half an hour later.

The dishes were served, and the family had a joyful meal together.

At the dining table, Xu Yang discussed his situation. It began with using two million from Zhao Yuxin’s father, initially meant for her house purchase, to make over ten million in the futures market. Afterwards, in the antiques market, he found two major underpriced items, yielding a total of 250 million, which he used to buy the car and the house. Now, he has acquired a company involved in live-streaming—that’s his current business.

Xu Deming and Jiang Qiuping were completely stunned.

Making over ten million in the futures market and finding antiques worth 250 million.

Such stories sounded like utter fantasy to them, the kind of thing not even TV dramas would dare to depict.

After their initial shock, they were filled with immense joy.

Xu Yang was rich and had a family now. They no longer had to worry about his future.

Moreover, with their son driving an eight-million car, it was bound to become the talk among relatives and friends soon, greatly boosting their status in front of them.

After dinner, the family sat in the living room for a chat.

Zhao Yuxin had also completely integrated into the Xu Family.

The Xu Family’s home atmosphere was pleasant, with Xu Deming and Jiang Qiuping being very easy to talk to. She didn’t feel any of the tension she had imagined.

“Oh right, your classmate Han is returning in just over a week,” said Jiang Qiuping. “I ran into him on the street. He asked me if you were coming back for the Mid-Autumn Festival and suggested catching up with you if you were.”

“He’s coming back in a week? That soon?” Xu Yang was puzzled.

Han Yanghui, his full name, was a close high school friend. They frequently visited each other’s homes during their high school years.

After graduating, Han Yanghui didn’t attend a regular university like the rest but entered a film academy in the capital instead, aiming to become a star.

Last New Year, Han Yanghui didn’t come back to celebrate. When Xu Yang called, Han said he had to work as an extra in a film studio during the holiday, so he didn’t return.

It had been nearly two years since they last met, only keeping in touch occasionally through WeChat.

Their conversations were mostly superficial, and whenever the topics of study or work came up, the reply was generally “it’s going okay, quite busy,” and the likes.

Xu Yang thought he probably wouldn’t see Han Yanghui until the upcoming New Year, if at all.

It was truly surprising that Han Yanghui had returned just a week ago.

Jiang Qiuping shook her head, “I don’t know, he didn’t say when I asked.”

Xu Yang nodded, “Alright, I’ll give him a call later to arrange a time to meet up.”
