1287 Uncle-In-Law“Yes, my mother-in-law is very good to me. It’s as if she is my biological mother.” Her mother-in-law treated her better than she treated Brother Zhai. Fortunately, both Brother Zhai and Sister Zhai Hua had never been displeased at her because of this matter. Similar to her mother-in-law, they also treated her very well.
Xu Shengnan could tell that Qiao Nan was very serious and grateful when she said this. There was no sense of falseness or cover-up. Xu Shengnan felt very heartened. “Perhaps it is your greatest fortune to be able to marry into this kind of family.”
She had always heard people saying that the mother and daughter-in-law’s problem was an eternal and difficult one which even the saint could not resolve.
It was truly not easy to find a mother-in-law who treated her better than her own son. “Right, you have many wedding candies in your house. Is your family organizing a wedding banquet?”
“The triplet’s auntie is getting married at the end of the year.” Tian Dong was truly very effective. After he proposed, the two families sat down together and picked an auspicious date before the Lunar New Year for the marriage. This marriage had thus been settled. “I’ll tell you something. Today is the day my sister-in-law and her husband will collect their wedding certificate.”
She had heard that her father-in-law had never used his authority for personal gains or allowed his two children to get in through the back door. However, in this marriage, this was the first time that he sped up the matter for Sister Zhai Hua. He helped her settle the marriage report at the fastest speed.
Since the marriage report had been approved, Tian Dong could openly bring Sister Zhai Hua to collect the marriage certificate.
Speak of the devil. Zhai Hua and Tian Dong, who had just collected the wedding certificate, came back looking happy.
At the sight of the candies left in the bag in Tian Dong’s hands, Miao Jing asked, “Didn’t I ask you to distribute all the candies? Why are there leftovers?”
Tian Dong placed the excess candies on the table and explained. “Those that we brought earlier were not enough for distribution. We bought some at the last minute.” That was the reason for the excess.
“Tian… CEO Tian?” At the sight of the proud and happy Tian Dong walking in, Xu Shengnan nearly bit her tongue in shock. She especially wanted to ask Qiao Nan if she did it on purpose.
“You’re an employee of CEO Gao’s company?” At one glance, Tian Dong recognized Xu Shengnan. “I remember that your surname is Xu. You are Miss Xu, right?” Tian Dong had some impression of Xu Shengnan because of her name. Clearly, she was a lady but her name was very unique. When Tian Dong heard that, the first thought that came to his mind was Zhai Hua.
As such, Tian Dong remembered who Xu Shengnan was when he saw her today.
Xu Shengnan was pleasantly surprised by the attention. Although CEO Tian was the one who initiated the collaboration with their company this time, CEO Tian’s company was much bigger than theirs. The other party was such an established company whereas they were only a start-up that had just gone into a stable working mode.
CEO Gao’s aim was to turn his company into a listed one by the end of next year.
Xu Shengnan put away her smitten behavior due to the triplets and straightened her shirt. “CEO Tian has a good memory. Yes, I am an employee of CEO Gao’s company.” She only suspected Qiao Nan for a fleeting moment.
Others might not know, but how could Xu Shengnan not know?
If not for the help of Qiao Nan, this junior, she would not have the opportunity to join CEO Gao’s company.
If her junior really wished to help CEO Tian clinch the project with their company, why would she require her help? She could simply look for CEO Gao and this business could be settled very quickly.
Qiao Nan blinked her eyes. She roughly guessed that Tian Dong’s and Gao Yan’s companies should be in some business relationship, and Tian Dong thus knew Xu Shengnan. “Senior, the candies that you are eating belong to them. This is the triplet’s auntie, Zhai Hua. This is the triplet’s fresh-from-the-oven uncle-in-law, Tian Dong.”
Xu Shengnan raised her brows and smiled. “I see. Congratulations, CEO Tian.” For finally getting married at such an ‘old’ age.
Speaking of marriage, Qiao Nan nudged Xu Shengnan. “Has Gao Yan’s matter been settled?” She had contacted Fang Fang and knew that her family had moved to the capital a few months ago. Fang Fang’s father had been deployed to the capital because of his job.
It had been so many years. Gao Yan had not managed to settle Fang Fang?
“Settle?” Xu Shengnan could not stop laughing. “CEO Gao can only boss us around. In front of our future lady boss, tsk, tsk, tsk… I can tell that our boss is definitely one that will dote on his wife in the future. Speaking of this matter, my boss wants to treat you to a meal and get your help to put in a few good words for him in front of the future lady boss. My boss said that our future lady boss is on very good terms with you. She doesn’t listen to anyone but you.”
It was no wonder that her boss looked at Qiao Nan in such a ‘different’ light. Initially, she even misunderstood before that her boss was hitting on her junior.
After so long, it was not that her boss had taken a liking to her junior. He wanted her help to settle his future wife. It was no wonder the boss listened so much to junior’s words.
Tian Dong’s company had suffered a huge loss due to Tian Shouyi. He was thinking of ways to secure long-term businesses to regain these losses. Amongst many, the projects in Gao Yan’s company were those that Tian Dong thought most highly of at this moment.
Unfortunately, good things were always in demand. He was not the only one who knew that this project would work. Others who were adept at earning money would be aware too.
Gao Yan’s company was good at technology. This technology was profitable and sustainable. Hence, Tian Dong thought highly of Gao Yan and felt that although Gao Yan’s current company was a little small now, given enough time, Gao Yan would definitely grow and reach a level that was comparable to him.
Gao Yan’s progress was a certainty. Tian Dong also wished to regain his losses and revert his company to the original state or for it to become better in the shortest time possible. However, he was in a more difficult situation than Gao Yan.
As such, Tian Dong felt that his projected targets could still be met as long as he could clinch the collaboration project with Gao Yan.
“Mom.” They had collected the wedding certificate and Tian Dong could now openly address Miao Jing as mother. No matter how anxious Tian Dong was about the collaboration proposal with Gao Yan, he could not directly ask Qiao Nan about her relationship with Gao Yan in front of Xu Shengnan.
“Aye.” Miao Jing was smiling like she had taken honey when she heard the greeting ‘mom’. She saw Er Bao cover his little mouth, feeling very jealous. “Grandma!”
Wasn’t that just a greeting of ‘mom’? He knew how to shout ‘grandma’.
“Aye, grandma’s darlings.” Miao Jing responded happily. “Remember. You can call him uncle-in-law in the future, okay?” This time, Tian Dong had become the Zhai family’s son-in-law. This could not be changed and Hua Hua’s case was finally closed.
“Uncle-in-law- law…” San Bao, who had not finished growing her baby teeth, enjoyed calling ‘uncle-in-law’ very much. Just as her grandmother taught her, she mouthed the word. As soon as the word ‘law’ came out, the rim of Miao Jing’s trousers seemed to have walked in the mist once. There was a layer of bright and dewy water beads on them.
