Chapter 597: Chapter 302: You Must Be the Happiest Chapter 597: Chapter 302: You Must Be the Happiest Shengyuan Good Place, Building 11, Unit 3, Room 402.
Qian Chengjun said to his mother with a smile, “Mom, my older sister and second sister will be here soon. I heard Ruannuan is bringing her boyfriend too.”
“My goodness! Ruannuan, that child, has finally come around. She used to worry her parents to death.”
Wen Ruan’s grandmother was already 75 years old this year and had always been in poor health, speaking somewhat listlessly.
However, today was her grandson Qian Mingfeng’s housewarming, an occasion that brought the family together, albeit rare, and she made a special effort to come.
Joining in the excitement and contributing to the festive joy.
“Mom, it’s not that Ruannuan was slow on the uptake, it’s that she has high standards!” Wang Feng’e said as she brought out a plate of sliced fruit.
Plump and stylishly curly-haired, not even 50 years old, she was dressed in a silk gown.
She wore a smooth, round pearl necklace around her neck.
Adorned with a gold necklace, jade bracelets, and earrings, she looked resplendent.
Wang Feng’e sat down next to them, speaking with a hint of laughter, “The one I introduced before, Li, who works in a state-owned company, and Gu Cheng, whom Feifei introduced, neither caught Ruannuan’s eye. I heard from second sister Ruannuan’s current boyfriend is a company boss, living in a big flat.”
She said this, but she truly didn’t believe it.
She always felt that Qian Guixiang was exaggerating.
There was actually a precedent for this.
In the past regarding Wen Ruan’s job in Imperial City, her own husband, this second sister, had somewhat exaggerated, saying she could soon be promoted to middle management and would buy a house there.
In the end, she had returned to Yan City, essentially unable to stay in the big city.
Later, she frequently exaggerated about Wen Ruan’s blind date partners, about how good they were.
It was all just vanity at the cost of suffering.
The relationship between the two sister-in-laws was always not very harmonious, often leading to various disagreements.
The main reason was the mother-in-law conflict, with the Qian sisters always siding with their own mother.
However, Qian Guimei’s family was well-off, and her children were also very successful.
Wang Feng’e, subconsciously not wanting to offend too much, directed her criticisms towards Qian Guixiang.
During festivals, the two often had arguments.
But it was within normal limits, not serious, just mutual mockery.
“Mom, given how good Wen Ruan’s situation is, it’s normal for her to have high standards,” Qian Mingfeng said as he picked up a piece of watermelon and handed a piece to his wife, Sun Jie.
They had just gotten married last year, but it was in an old apartment.
This year, his wife got pregnant, and the report confirmed it was a boy.
The parents were overjoyed and sold the original apartment, pooled some money together, and bought this big Western-style house in Shengyuan Good Place outright.
It was an improvement for him and his wife, as well as for their future grandson’s living environment.
The group chatted for a while.
Suddenly, Qian Chengjun’s phone rang.
After picking up and speaking a few words,
Qian Chengjun smiled and said, “It’s the second sister and others; they have arrived. Let’s go and meet them.”
“Dad, mom, Jie and I will go,” Qian Mingfeng quickly stood up.
Qian Chengjun shook his head, “Let’s all go. Today Ruannuan’s boyfriend is also coming, and it’s only proper to greet him.”
Soon, the door was opened, and the family moved to the spacious and bright corridor.
Wang Feng’e, looking around the surroundings, was filled with joy.
She was truly satisfied with this new house.
Also, buying a house had another advantage: it could prevent others from asking to borrow money from her family.
Previously, when Qian Guixiang and Wen Ruan were buying their house, Qian Chengjun wanted to borrow since paying a larger down payment would reduce the mortgage pressure and might even allow buying a larger three-bedroom apartment.
However, Wang Feng’e flatly refused under the pretext of her son’s marriage, citing the need to buy a new house in the future.
The issue had caused a great deal of unpleasantness at the time.
This was also why, after buying the house, Wang Feng’e kept making video calls to Qian Guixiang.
“Ding—” The crisp sound of the elevator chime rang.
Then, the elevator doors slowly opened.
Qian Guixiang led the way out, her face beaming with a radiant smile, her left hand resting on her right arm, and standing exceptionally straight.
The conspicuous gold necklace and bracelets glittered under the bright lights.
Wang Feng’e paused, a surprised expression flashing in her eyes.
She was aware of Qian Guixiang and her husband’s financial situation; how could they afford such expensive jewelry?
“Chengjun, Feng’e, Mingfeng, Jie,” Qian Guixiang greeted everyone with a cheerful smile.
Soon after, Wen Ruan came out holding Tang Song’s hand.
“This is my boyfriend, Tang Song.”
All four shifted their gaze toward him, their expressions varied.
Tang Song was exceptionally handsome, especially under the lighting, where even minor skin imperfections were obscured.
He looked like a male star who had stepped out of a TV drama.
Qian Mingfeng grinned and couldn’t help but think: well, it turns out his cousin was focused on looks!
But indeed, the boyfriend was very charming.
Even his wife stared at him, somewhat dazed.
“Hello, Tang Song.” “Hello, welcome, welcome.”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group entered the house.
“Mom! How have you been lately?” Qian Guixiang quickly walked a few steps to her mother’s side.
“Grandma.” Wen Ruan also greeted.
“Good, good, everything is very good. Ruannuan, your partner?” Wen Ruan’s grandmother, eyes a bit blurry, picked up her reading glasses from the coffee table and put them on.
Wen Ruan smiled and pushed Tang Song forward, “Here, Grandma, do you approve?”
“Hello, Grandma, I’m Wen Ruan’s boyfriend, Tang Song.”
“Oh! This young man is really spirited! Good! Very good!”
