Mr. Gu, my wife went to the men's department to register for you again.

she?

Qiao Ruoxing frowned, Who is she?

Gu Jingyan didn't speak for a long time. Just when Qiao Ruoxing thought he had fallen asleep, Gu Jingyan whispered, My mother.

Qiao Ruoxing was startled.

When Gu Jingyan was sober, he would never say anything bad about Zhong Meilan in front of her.

He has a strong sense of tradition in his bones. Elders are elders. No matter how bad it is, he will not say this in front of others.

As an outsider, Qiao Ruoxing could feel Zhong Meilan's partiality. How could Gu Jingyan not notice it as a party involved?

Take the case of Zhong Meilan's European trip last year. She and her friends went there for more than a month and used Gu Jingyan's secondary card.

Gu Jingyan is a big customer of the bank. The bank will send someone to deliver the monthly statement of his personal account every month.

This bill is usually signed by Qiao Ruoxing because she has the habit of keeping accounts for the two of them.

For example, how much she spent on luxury goods this month, how much she spent on food and drink, how much she spent on daily necessities, and how much gifts she gave to relatives and friends for weddings and funerals, etc., she wrote down one by one.

In this way, it will be clear at a glance which month and category are exceeded, and the next month can be slightly reduced to maintain the overall balance.

During the month that Zhong Meilan went out to play, Gu Jingyan's bills almost exploded.

In that month, she spent more than 10 million on a trip to Europe.

The bank statement is very clear. She spent more than half of her money on duty-free shops and some foreign luxury stores.

And many things are even purchased repeatedly. For example, for a certain skin care product valued at 10,000 yuan, you can buy two or three bottles. If you want to stock up, it will be enough for a year. But she buys twenty or thirty bottles at a time, just like wholesale.

Qiao Ruoxing felt very strange, but she couldn't tell Gu Jingyan directly because the wording was inappropriate, as if she was a daughter-in-law who complained about her mother-in-law spending her husband's money.

So she didn't tell her directly. After preparing the expenses for this month, she sent them to Gu Jingyan.

When I got up the next morning and went downstairs, I heard Gu Jingyan talking to Zhong Meilan on the phone.

I don't know if Gu Jingyan asked Zhong Meilan what she bought with the more than ten million yuan, but after he talked for a while, he asked her what gift she wanted.

Zhong Meilan is going back to China soon and wants to bring them gifts.

Qiao Ruoxing said, everything is fine.

Then, Zhong Meilan did come back with gifts for both her and Gu Jingyan.

What was given to Gu Jingyan was a belt of a certain brand costing more than RMB 10,000.

For her, a Swarovski black swan necklace.

When she was opening the gift, Gu Jingyan was sitting next to her. When they saw the necklace, they both fell silent.

In order to save his mother's respect, Gu Jingyan praised her, It's pretty.

Not long afterwards, the family went to the old house for a small gathering.

It was the end of September and it was already a bit cold to wear short sleeves, but that day, Gu Jingyang was uncharacteristically wearing a suspender skirt.

The bracelets on her wrists and the necklace under her neck were very dazzling, so the second aunt complimented them.

Then Gu Jingyang said with a proud face, My mother brought this to me when she went abroad to play.

Qiao Ruoxing thought about Gu Jingyan's belt and her two- to three-hundred-dollar necklace, which made her suffer from indigestion after just one meal.

Gu Jingyan didn't look too good, but he was his son, so he didn't say anything after all.

Later, Qiao Ruoxing found out what the dozens of bottles of expensive face cream that Zhong Meilan bought were for - her birthday was coming soon, and the face cream was a souvenir she planned to give to her wives.

Spending her son's money to give gifts to her son and daughter-in-law is not as expensive as her vanity gifts to others. This is Chung Mei-lan.

Others are always nibbling on the old, but Zhong Meilan is nibbling on the young.

She always felt that in Zhong Meilan's eyes, Gu Jingyan was her cash machine.

Gu Jingyan was sick, and Gu Jingyan was detained for conflicts with others. Every time, she could find various reasons why she couldn't be there.

Only when she needed money could she pick up the rare family affection and deal with Gu Jingyan.

Several times she couldn't help but want to complain in front of Gu Jingyan, but she stopped talking when the words reached her lips.

At that time, her relationship with Gu Jingyan was not stable. What was the difference between saying these words and instigating the relationship between mother and son?

Gu Jingyan was like a dull gourd, usually saying nothing, but he didn't expect that his mind was like a mirror and he knew everything.

Qiao Ruoxing poked his eyebrows, You mean, your mother only likes money and doesn't like you?

Gu Jingyan closed his eyes for a while and then whispered softly, She doesn't love anyone, not me or my dad.

Qiao Ruoxing paused and said half-jokingly, She is pretty good to your sister. That set of Cartier jewelry is a thousand times more expensive than my Black Swan.

Gu Jingyan didn't know what he thought of and laughed.

Qiao Ruoxing pinched his face, Why are you laughing?

Gu Jingyan said, So you just took the necklace I gave you to anger her?

Qiao Ruoxing was stunned for a moment and realized that he was talking about the birthday banquet.

Qiao Ruoxing also laughed, obviously remembering Zhong Meilan's funny expression at that time. She touched the tip of his nose and said, You insisted on delivering it that day. Haven't you ever thought about that scene?

Gu Jingyan smiled, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, I did it on purpose.

Qiao Ruoxing whispered childish.

Gu Jingyan laughed for a while and then said, I don't care if she doesn't like me or treats me badly, but she shouldn't use that method to force you away from me. I will never do this. Forgive her.

Qiao Ruoxing paused and didn't speak. She just patted him on the shoulder.

After a while, Gu Jingyan said again, Is it really true that you don't like me at all?

Qiao Ruoxing came back to her senses with a look of helplessness on her face. Isn't this party over yet?

A little bit.

She seemed perfunctory.

Gu Jingyan frowned, very dissatisfied with that little bit.

Whatever makes you like it, I'll expand it.

Qiao Ruoxing looked at his serious look and teased him, How much do you spend for me?

Gu Jingyan...

Seeing the bitter and resentful look on his face, Qiao Ruoxing stopped teasing him, pulled him over and gave him a big kiss on the face, If I don't like you, who will fall in love with you? Am I sick? I like money, Wouldn’t it be better if I find someone to take care of me?”

It was a rare confession, but Gu Jingyan only read the second half of the sentence, How much money can I take to support you?

Qiao Ruoxing...

She threw a pillow on Gu Jingyan's face, Go to sleep.

After struggling for a long time, Gu Jingyan was willing to get off her, but he kept holding her waist and refused to let her leave.

Qiao Ruoxing had no choice but to think of Lin Shu waiting outside, so she took her cell phone and sent Lin Shu a text message.

[Assistant Lin, please leave first. I will be in the Royal Garden tonight. 】

Lin Shu quickly sent a [Received].

Then he threw his phone on the sofa and went to take a shower.

He had known this would be the case and didn't wait downstairs at all.
