52 It Feels Good!
Jian Xing’er sneered, but didn’t say anything else and drove towards the Hou family’s home.
Along the way, Jian Xing’er didn’t even need to honk. All the cars automatically avoided the Bugatti Veyron.
When the people on the streets saw this, they also took out their phones to take photos.
Sea City was a small city and such luxury cars were rarely seen in Sea City, so everyone was naturally very curious.
Hou Xiaoyu sat in the front passenger seat as she said with a smile, “It feels so good!”
Then, Hou Xiaoyu took out her phone and started taking photos while waving at passersby from time to time.
It was as if Hou Xiaoyu had bought this car herself.
Junlai’s mother and father stood at the door as they waited for Jian Xing’er’s arrival.
Mr. Hou said helplessly, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have done this!”
Mrs. Hou frowned and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
Mr. Hou said, “If you had treated Jian Xing’er better back then, even if the two of them divorced, Jian Xing’er would have remembered your kindness and now, you wouldn’t have to play such tricks to please Jian Xing’er.”
Mrs. Hou snorted and said, “I’m not trying to please Jian Xing’er. I’m treating her as my daughter-in-law.”
Mr. Hou was speechless.
Mr. Hou sighed softly and said, “Don’t mess around like this. Doing this will only make Jian Xing’er dislike you guys even more.”
Mrs. Hou said, “It doesn’t matter. I don’t care either. It’s fine as long as Jian Xing’er can return to the Hou family. As long as Jian Xing’er is our daughter-in-law, our family’s situation can improve. I’m doing all of this for the sake of the Hou family.”
Mr. Hou didn’t know what to say.
Mrs. Hou continued, “For the sake of the Hou family, I’m willing to do anything. It doesn’t matter even if others laugh at me.”
Mr. Hou looked helpless.
Mrs. Hou glanced at Mr. Hou and said, “Don’t just stand there. Go and watch the chefs. Don’t let them slack off.”
Mr. Hou turned around and entered the house.
In order to entertain Jian Xing’er this time, Mrs. Hou specially invited the hotel’s chef over.
Usually, Mrs. Hou wouldn’t squander money like this.
It had to be known that inviting a chef to their house would cost at least a hundred thousand yuan a day, or even more. This wasn’t a small sum of money for the current Hou family.
This was the first time the Hou family had been so extravagant.
At this moment, a luxury car stopped in front of the Hou family’s house.
A middle-aged man got out of the car.
The middle-aged man was wearing a black suit and holding a briefcase.
Immediately after, a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes got out of the car.
It was obvious that the two of them were husband and wife.
When Mrs. Hou saw the two of them, she was stunned for a moment before greeting them with a smile.
Mrs. Hou said, “Cousin, Sister-in-law, I didn’t expect you two to come. This is great!”
Mrs. Hou was a little excited and flattered.
This man was Hou Qiang.
He was the son of the Hou family.
The beautiful woman was Hou Qiang’s wife, Gu Yao.
Any slightly well-off family would have internal and external families. Hou Qiang’s family was an inner clan, and the Hou family that Hou Jun had come from was an outer clan.
The status of the inner clan was much higher than the outer clan.
For so many years, Mrs. Hou had always been trying to please the Hou family’s inner clan. Although Mrs. Hou’s family was an inner clan, it was just a small family, so of course, the Hou family’s inner clans looked down on them and didn’t pay much attention to Mrs. Hou.
No matter how Mrs. Hou tried to please them, it was pointless.
But even so, Mrs. Hou didn’t give up. As long as it was a festival, she would always buy some valuable items and send them to the Hou family’s inner clan, although most of them were rejected.
However, Mrs. Hou was very patient.
Mrs. Hou was really flattered that the couple came over this time.
Hou Qiang said indifferently, “I heard that your daughter-in-law has a good relationship with the Li family. Previously, the Li family’s patriarch even personally came here to look for her. Is this true?”
Mrs. Hou immediately said, “It’s true! Jian Xing’er has a good relationship with the Li family. At the Zhang family’s auction, someone provoked Jian Xing’er. It was the young master of the Li family, Li Kun, who dealt with all those people.”
Mrs. Hou paused for a moment and continued, “Jian Xing’er and Young Master Li are very good friends. As long as Jian Xing’er has something to needs to be done, Li Kun will immediately do it. Almost everyone in Sea City knows about this.”
Mrs. Hou wasn’t stupid, so of course she knew why the couple had come.
Hou Qiang and his wife came because of Jian Xing’er.
Mrs. Hou said smugly, “My daughter-in-law is very low-profile, so I just found out about her and Young Master Li’s relationship.”
