My Super Beautiful Lady Boss

Chapter 1783 - 1869: Weighing Your Worth

"I say, Laogen, have you watched TV? Nowadays, many people to save face, spend thousands to rent a luxury car to fool their parents, and there are even those who rent girlfriends. Don’t you know your monkey child at all?""..."

It has to be said, at this moment, Ji Laogen was indeed having second thoughts. This hit home for him. His son had always told him he had plenty of money and even showed him a car, but Ji Laogen never believed it.

Now hearing it from his brother-in-law, his heart sank. Could it be that his child knows he is being bullied at home and deliberately spends money to save face?

Thinking about this, Ji Laogen felt very guilty. He thought maybe he had been putting too much pressure on his son all these years, always mentioning who bought a car or who got married in every call.

Originally, he just wanted to motivate him, but now he was worried that he might have inadvertently caused his son psychological stress. Otherwise, why hadn’t he come home before?

His face changed as he looked at the scratch on the car. Just now, Ji Laogen was heartbroken that his son had accidentally scratched the car.

"Heh, Second Uncle, do you know how much this car costs? Over seven million! Just this scratch alone costs twenty to thirty thousand!"

"Cough cough..."

Ji Laogen choked on a puff of smoke and coughed violently, seemingly quite badly.

"Uncle, what’s wrong! Qingyi, go get a cup of hot water!"

Xue Mengxue quickly helped pat Ji Laogen’s back, and just then Hou Qingyi brought over a cup of warm water.

"Is it you again? Little cousin, aren’t you learned enough of a lesson!"

Xue Mengxue scowled with anger apparent on her face.

It’s one thing to enjoy comparing, but there’s no need for subjective assumptions, nor to belittle others.

"Hmph, you’re deceiving, deceiving an old man’s emotions. My uncle is already so old, and you guys stage a fake girlfriend, pretending my cousin is a millionaire. Haven’t you heard the higher you fly, the harder you fall? Instead of that, why not face the pain directly? Let my uncle and aunt accept reality. My cousin is nearly unable to feed himself out there, and you’re still setting up this scene. He needs a loan, and without paying it back, he’ll end up in jail!"

Xie Wanrong chattered on.

"Bang!"

Right then, Monkey’s mother dropped several freshly washed basins onto the floor, shattering them instantly, unable to accept all of this. She had been growing more and more fond of Hou Qingyi, overjoyed that her son had such a pretty wife.

But now she heard Xie Wanrong say it was all fake.

"Are you insane!"

Xue Mengxue took out her phone and called Su Xuan.

"Hello, Xue’er, I’m still fishing. I caught two big grass carps. Aren’t you impressed by your husband’s skills!"

Su Xuan said narcissistically after picking up the phone.

"Come back soon, someone’s bullying your wife!"

Xue Mengxue said with a pout and hung up, while Su Xuan scratched his head, as Monkey rolled up his sleeves to catch fish!

"What’s going on?"

"No idea, but let’s check it out first!"

Su Xuan said, and he and Monkey rushed back.

"Monkey, maybe during these three days, you should finalize the marriage. I can tell your parents are really worried about you!"

"But... Isn’t that a bit rushed, I’m worried Qingyi can’t accept it!"

Monkey said, feeling a bit conflicted.

"Silly boy, Hou Qingyi is very rational. Since she chose to see your parents with you, she’s already prepared to spend her life with you!"

As the two spoke, they arrived at Monkey’s doorstep. Su Xuan looked at the angry yet amused Xue Mengxue.

"I say, darling, who bullied you!"

"She bullied me!"

Xue Mengxue pointed at Xie Wanrong.

"Oh, little cousin, long time no see; weren’t you with Gu Qingfeng? What brings you here now!"

Su Xuan took out a cigarette and took a puff.

"Uncle, look at them; do they look like rich people to you? His cigarette is just seven yuan, have you ever seen a big boss smoke this kind of cigarette?"

"Su Xuan, you’re something, aren’t you? Not only have you gone astray, but you’ve also led my cousin down the wrong path, deceiving my uncle and aunt. Do you know the elderly can’t handle shocks like this? What if something unexpected happens?"

Xie Wanrong at this moment tried to blame everything on Su Xuan.

"Little cousin, are you having a meltdown?"

Su Xuan looked bewildered at his cousin, coldly chuckling.

"Haha, you cheeky boy, stop pretending. I’ve asked my friend to check; your car is rented!"

"Crazy!"

Su Xuan rolled his eyes. In truth, this was correct that the car was rented. However, the rental company belonged to Su Xuan himself, and the one owned by Monkey was in his name. But they assumed everything was fake!

"Second Uncle, look, this is a rental contract!"

This time, the guy was indeed smug, and Ji Bu felt thrilled.

"Enough..."

Finally, Ji Laogen shouted, tears streaming down his face as he looked at Monkey and said,

"Son, you’ve suffered all these years. I didn’t realize you bore so much pressure!"

Only now did Ji Laogen realize the possibly significant negative impact he had on his son due to his constant bad news.

"Dad..."

Watching his father weep, Monkey felt guilty, having earned money but failing to fulfill his filial duties.

"Son, I won’t pressure you anymore in the future. We’ll just live our own lives. I only wish for you to be happy. I don’t want you to tire yourself just to make me proud!"

The old man said as he took out a small package wrapped in oiled paper from his winter coat. Opening it revealed a handkerchief, inside which was a sheet of paper, marking it as truly precious.

"Son, these are the one hundred thousand yuan your dad saved all these years by scrimping. Originally meant for buying you a house, but let’s first repair the car and repay the loan. In the future, we’ll live plainly; your mom and I only wish for you to lead a simple life!"

Monkey’s father handed the passbook, still warm from body heat, to Monkey. Upon taking it, Monkey’s tears flowed uncontrollably.

Fatherly love is like a mountain. All those years, he resented his father’s nagging, constantly asking if he had a girlfriend, often sending him pictures of girls from family acquaintances.
