Capítulo 1286: Chapter 559: Family Harmony, Two Mothers-in-Law

Around the Spring Festival in 2016, a heavy snow fell in Jinling, covering the entire Jinling City with a thick white blanket. Along the Qinhuai River, it was also frozen solid, with boats and barges all cloaked in white at this moment.

This year, Zhou Yuwen did not return for the New Year; instead, he brought his parents to Jinling City.

Zhou Yuwen bought a larger villa in the same neighborhood as Jiang Xinyi’s home. The purchase and renovation altogether cost Zhou Yuwen more than 50 million yuan. Although there was still room for appreciation in value later, it was destined to be limited, as the prime time for real estate was really just those few years, and afterward, it would pretty much return to this price.

However, for Zhou Yuwen now, this was not a big deal. Zhou Yuwen no longer cared about the future profits or losses. In Zhou Yuwen’s view, living comfortably now was most important, because no matter how much he spent, it would be earned back in the future.

This year’s Spring Festival, Zhou Yuwen’s house was especially lively, not just because Su Qing and Lu Wanting all returned to the country to celebrate the New Year with Zhou Yuwen, but because this year, all the women associated with Zhou Yuwen gathered together in the villa for the New Year.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were a bit taken aback when they were first brought to the villa and saw everything before them; the vast, luxurious villa was full of vivacious young ladies.

Tao Tian, Li Shiqi, and Shen Yu were busy in the open-style kitchen.

Zheng Yanyan was teasing Lu Lin, trying to play with her.

But Lu Lin merely gave Zheng Yanyan a cold stare.

Su Qing and Pan Min, who stayed back for the New Year, were chatting on the sofa in the living room.

When they saw Zhou Guowei and Yang Lijuan, they all stood up simultaneously.

“Uncle, Auntie, you’re here!?”

Zheng Yanyan, who was the nearest, greeted them first.

Zhou Guowei and Yang Lijuan looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It was Pan Min who had common sense; she smiled and invited Zhou Guowei and Yang Lijuan in, explaining that Yuwen had some matters at the company and hadn’t returned.

“Why don’t you come in and sit down? Uh, Su Qing, go brew some tea for your uncle and auntie.”

“Okay.”

Su Qing nodded. After experiencing life abroad for so long, her demeanor had changed significantly. Now, wearing a plain fitted T-shirt and deep blue skinny jeans, she looked very capable.

“I’ll do it.”

At this moment, Tao Tian proactively helped Su Qing.

With so many girls around, getting along harmoniously, it seemed like sisters-in-law getting along well, leaving Zhou Guowei and Yang Lijuan somewhat speechless. They exchanged glances.

And Pan Min was there, smiling and welcoming them, taking the teapot from Su Qing’s hand, and personally pouring them tea.

Seeing Pan Min being so attentive made Zhou Guowei a bit uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know all these girls?”

“Yes, they are all friends of Yuwen and Su Qing, here to hang out at home.” Pan Min didn’t reveal the truth.

But from her expression, it seemed everyone knew the reality.

If it were before, Zhou Yuwen’s parents might have thought Zhou Yuwen was being absurd.

But Zhou Yuwen’s current status was not something they could easily manage.

This year, half of the investment projects in their hometown were either directly or indirectly funded by Zhou Yuwen. Because of their son’s actions, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou became esteemed guests of the local government office. Although Mr. Zhou was now semi-retired due to his son’s influence, for any major affairs at the unit, the top officials would come to discuss with Mr. Zhou, and by the end of the year, they even elevated Mr. Zhou’s benefits slightly.

Moreover, Zhou Yuwen set up a family fund, stating that as long as anyone in the family had the ability or ambition, he would support their tuition and living expenses, even helping family kids study abroad. In this way, Zhou Yuwen firmly united his family.

This year, Boss Ma in Hang City and Boss Ma in Shencheng City were both very popular.

Although Zhou Yuwen couldn’t yet match their status, during public appearances on television, Zhou Yuwen could confidently stand with them and have pleasant conversations.

Every time Zhou Yuwen appeared on TV, a group of relatives at home would be there with excited, flushed faces, clapping and telling Zhou Yuwen’s parents, “Yuwen is on TV again!”

Today he’s shaking hands with the richest Boss Ma.

Tomorrow he’s seen standing with the Liu Dongqiang couple.

But truth be told, ever since the Milk Tea Sister married Liu Dongqiang, she has increasingly developed a wifely air.

The key is, she’s the same age as Zhou Yuwen.

The three of them standing together resembled a scenario of a son and daughter-in-law standing with their father.

Because of that group photo.

Old Liu was often teased by others.

But to this, Old Liu just smiled.

After all, Zhou Yuwen was a rising star, and Old Liu wouldn’t fall out with Zhou Yuwen over a woman.

Currently, Zhou Yuwen is ranking eleventh on the real-time wealth list and is the only member under the age of 20 among the wealthy list entrants.

So no matter how absurd Zhou Yuwen’s actions were, his parents turned a blind eye.

Soon, Zhou Yuwen returned, accompanied by Jiang Xinyi, who also worked at his company.

Seeing his parents come over, Zhou Yuwen happily called out “Mom and Dad.”

Then explained that he originally wanted to pick them up.

“But there was a last-minute issue at the company, so Xinyi and I went over. Was the journey smooth?”

After getting home, Zhou Yuwen naturally took off his suit, and Tao Tian helped him hang it up.
