Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Novel

Chapter 1161: Zhou Mingkang’s Girlfriend

Once Zhou Zhengtang left, the others walked away too, and Zhou Zhenghong went into the store.

The staff inside the store witnessed everything, and everyone was mad at Zhou Zhengtang. They had seen many shameless relatives before, but Zhou Zhengtang’s behavior was still beyond their imagination.

They worked for Jade Beauty Jewelry, so they were aware that Zhou Zhenghong was an important shareholder of it, but they wouldn’t say it aloud.

…

When Zhou Zhengtang went back home in anger, his wife understood that they failed again, but she still asked, “How is it?”

“He refused to buy a house and a car for us! He even embarrassed me in public by saying that he has already paid a lot for us before. Why does he have to be so mean? He’s rich enough to afford it after all,” Zhou Zhengtang said. He still believed that he had done nothing wrong, and it was all Zhou Zhenghong’s fault.

“How could he do that? Does he think he’s better than us just because he’s rich?” Zhou Zhengtang’s wife said.

She made it sound as if Zhou Zhenghong had taken advantage of them.

Zhou Zhengtang and her wife were the same kind of people. Both of them were extremely selfish and greedy.

However, they didn’t notice that their son, Zhou Mingkang, and their son’s fiancée, Li Fei, heard their conversation at this moment.

Li Fei was struck dumb for a second, and it took a long while for her to digest it. She was surprised by her future parents-in-law’s shamelessness.

She was going to marry Zhou Mingkang, but Zhou Mingkang’s parents asked his uncle for a free house and car.

In fact, Li Fei never asked for a house and a car before they got married, because she knew that they weren’t rich, and she also decided to fight for it along with Zhou Mingkang. After all, they worked in a public institution with decent pay and good social welfare.

Therefore, as long as they could afford the down payment, it wasn’t difficult for them to buy a house by getting a mortgage.

They had only joined the workforce for a year, so their salaries weren’t very high, but their salaries could increase over time.

Li Fei was scared by Zhou Zhengtang and his wife. She didn’t think that she could live a happy life with them if she married into such a family. Although Zhou Mingkang’s parents did it for them, she disliked their way of thinking.

Even Zhou Mingkang was shocked by his parents’ conversation. He disliked his parents’ values and behavior too, but he wouldn’t blame them because they were his parents.

Li Fei, however, was different. She hadn’t married into the family yet, and she found that she couldn’t accept their values.

“Mingkang, I can’t stand this, I think we should end our relationship,” she said to Zhou Mingkang with a serious expression.

After that, she turned around and walked away without hesitation. Li Fei was determined, because it wasn’t the first time that she had been disgusted by the words or behavior of Zhou Mingkang’s parents.

Although Zhou Mingkang’s parents already accepted her as their future daughter-in-law, she sensed that there was something wrong with his parents’ values when they spent some time together.

Li Fei wasn’t satisfied, but she thought she was going to marry Zhou Mingkang, not his parents, so she tolerated it. In addition, people all had shortcomings. Nevertheless, what Zhou Mingkang’s parents had said and done today was totally unacceptable in her eyes.

She still loved Zhou Mingkang, but she had to make a choice now. She couldn’t be happy if she married into such a family.

They couldn’t afford a house right now, so she would have to live with Zhou Mingkang’s parents for years. In that case, she would have endless conflict with his parents. It wasn’t the marriage or life she wanted.

…

Zhou Zhengtang and his wife were surprised when they heard Li Fei’s voice and they turned to look at the door. They didn’t think that they were wrong, and they were annoyed by Li Fei’s attitude.

“Feifei!” Zhou Mingkang stopped Li Fei at once by pulling her hand. He also loved Li Fei very much, and was unwilling to lose her.

“What did you just say?” Zhou Mingkang’s mother questioned her. She accepted Li Fei as her future daughter-in-law, but it didn’t mean that she would treat Li Fei very well as a member of her family. In her eyes, a daughter-in-law was always an outsider. Besides, she believed that she was more important than her daughter-in-law.

“Mom, stop it now,” Zhou Mingkang said and frowned.
