The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 851 - 848: Countless Tycoons Bow Low (Part 7)

Old Huang hurried home, and as soon as he entered, he saw a room full of people joking and laughing.

His mother, Huang Ma, chuckled: "You finally came back."

Yang Wei and his mother immediately came forward to greet him. He made some perfunctory remarks and pulled his wife into the room.

Frowning, he said: "I thought you had something terribly urgent. You called me so many times."

"Old man, it’s double happiness today, of course I had to get you back."

"What’s the good news?"

"Yang Wei found a good job, even better than being the head of the urban management team; this time he got into the police department."

Old Huang was incredulous: "Isn’t Yang Wei still on probation?"

Huang Ma dismissed his concern: "He performed well, so why not?"

"And what’s the other piece of good news?"

"We’re moving to a new villa, it’s already renovated, Zhou Ting picked an auspicious date for us..."

Old Huang couldn’t believe it.

"Old man, what’s that look on your face? If there’s a place to live, just go live."

"Old lady, does our son know about these things?"

Huang Ma was unconcerned: "Does it matter if he knows? Zhou Ting is helping us all because of our son’s reputation, right? I believe some things are not convenient for our son to know, it might even be bad if he does know. Can’t he just play dumb?"

"Old lady, you can’t be greedy and bring a lot of trouble to our son."

Huang Ma replied dismissively: "What’s the trouble? Who would dare say anything? Now who are you? You’re Huang, Zhou Ting’s father-in-law. Who dares to say a word against us? Who doesn’t envy our family now? If the Huang Family has what it has today, it’s all thanks to me—had I not given birth to such a good son, could the Huang Family be as glorious? Look, our son’s future will be even more limitless..."

"If this is considered Zhou Ting’s dowry, then I ask you, what do you intend to give as a bride price?"

"Bride price? Even an Emperor marries into humble families. Zhou Ting is a sensible kid, she knows our family’s situation, so why would she ask for a bride price?"

"Then how can you be so shamelessly asking for benefits?"

"It’s not that I’m asking, it’s her giving on her own accord. Old Huang, why do you think all this? Afraid of everything, no courage. These days, when someone rises, doesn’t their whole family benefit? We’re not asking for great wealth, just a slightly better house, isn’t that reasonable? We’re not excessively greedy."

"Old lady, beware of the power of rumors."

"Who’s Old Zhou? Who dares say a word against him? Do you think I’m naive? I’ve specifically learned to search online; there’s not a single bad piece of news about Old Zhou. You just wait to enjoy and be happy; who’d have thought our later years could have such a big surprise."

Old Huang didn’t respond, only feeling vaguely uneasy.

The sudden wealth is something ordinary people can’t adapt to.

Yet, he still called his son.

When Huang Xiaojue came home, he saw that many things in the house had been packed, and Huang Ma was directing the moving company with a proud attitude.

Upon seeing her son, Huang Ma immediately came forward, smiling brightly: "Son, how come you didn’t call before coming home? I’ll go make you something delicious right away."

Huang Xiaojue didn’t respond and first approached the lead mover: "Here’s your wages, you can head back."

Everyone was very surprised: "Not moving anymore?"

"We’ll move another day. Thank you for your hard work today."
