Chapter 268: Climbing Up the Ranks
After thinking about it, Li Xia followed Wang Yunfa to the door.
Wang Yunfa reached out to press the doorbell, and soon, the door was pulled open from the inside.
“Yunfa, Sister-in-law?”
The person who opened the door was none other than Wang Yunzhong’s wife, Jiang Chunfen.
When Jiang Chunfen saw the two of them, she couldn’t help but be stunned. In the past, Wang Yunfa rarely took the initiative to visit them.
“Sister-in-law!”
Li Xia beat her to it and greeted them with a passionate smile. “We’re here to see you and Brother!”
Jiang Chunfen quickly made way for them. “Come in quick. Why didn’t you tell me in advance? I could have made preparations!”
Jiang Chunfen was a kind person and had an extremely gentle personality. Even if she knew Wang Yunfa’s character, she had never given him any attitude in person. Furthermore, he brought his wife around!
“Why would you need to prepare when we’re family?!” Wang Yunfa smiled. “Is Brother back?”
“He’s back! He just got off the plane and reached home. He’s showering upstairs!”
After letting them into the house, Li Xia put the things in her hands on the coffee table. She could not help but size up her surroundings with the corner of her eyes, but she said happily, “Sister-in-law, it’s my first time here. I didn’t know what to bring! Yunfa said that Brother likes to drink tea. I don’t know anything about tea, so I could only choose the most expensive one. I wonder if Brother likes it!”
“Look at you. Why are you wasting money? Your brother has so much tea that he can’t finish it.”
When Wang Yunfa heard that, he hurriedly said, “How could it be the same? This was bought by his brother and sister-in-law. There’s also a box of sea cucumbers. I heard that eating them is good for the skin. Xiao Xia specially bought them for you!”
“Thank you!” Jiang Chunfen received it with a smile. This was the first time she had received something from Wang Yunfa. She thought to herself, ‘He’s different after getting married. His wife knows the ways of the world well.’
This gift was not cheap for Wang Yunfa’s family. Jiang Chunfen didn’t think too much about it. She only felt that since it was their first time visiting them and they didn’t want to lose face, they bought such expensive items over.
As they were talking, Wang Yunzhong heard voices and came down from the second floor. When he saw Wang Yunfa and Li Xia, he was stunned. “Why are the two of you here?!”
When Wang Yunzhong faced his younger siblings, he already had a type of arrogance that was superior to others. At this time, he was no exception. There was no passionate expression on his face, and his tone was also indifferent.
Wang Yunfa was already used to it. He also told Li Xia in advance that his brother did not like to laugh and was a serious person, so Li Xia did not mind.
Jiang Chunfen said to Wang Yunzhong, “Yunfa said that he brought his wife to visit us. He even bought you Da Hong Pao.”
Wang Yunzhong walked to the sofa and his eyes fell on the exquisite packaging of the Da Hong Pao. Beside it was a box of sea cucumbers.
These two things alone would cost a few hundred yuan.
He knew his brother best. Li Xia must be the one who wanted to buy such expensive gifts.
“What’s the use of spending this money? You two just got married. There’s a lot of things you have to spend money on,” Wang Yunzhong said softly.
Wang Yunzhong did not take his two sisters seriously, but his brother was different. He had to carry on the family line for the Wang family. Although the old lady came to borrow money from him when his brother was to get wed and he had refused, he still gave the South City house deed to the old lady later.
Although the old lady didn’t say it directly, Wang Yunzhong was no fool. He knew that the old lady was going to sell his yard in South City to use the money for his younger brother’s marriage and buy a new house for him.
Since he did not live in that yard and it was not worth much, he could not be bothered to sell it. He might as well give the deed to the old lady, which could be considered as indirectly helping his brother.
