Lan Qingqing thought to herself, giving such expensive skincare products to Zhang Huizhi, that old hag, was like putting lotion on a donkey's behind—completely unnecessary!
Zhang Huizhi's eyes widened in surprise, looking as if she were quite clever. "You must be kidding! I've seen this brand on TV; it's incredibly expensive. Such a pricey item is suitable for any skin type! I think you're just reluctant to share it with me!"
Zhang Huizhi picked up the products with a tone that suggested ownership. "Aren't these things all bought for you by my son? You don’t have to spend any money, so why are you being stingy? Just let Jie buy you another bottle."
Delighted, Zhang Huizhi happily collected the skincare items, determined to take them home for herself.
Lan Qingqing was furious but felt unable to refuse. She couldn't exactly say that the skincare products were a gift from Hou Yi. With Ke Jie’s stingy nature, it was hard to believe he would give her something so expensive!
Turning her back to Zhang Huizhi, Lan Qingqing gritted her teeth and exhaled heavily.
In the kitchen, Mo Kai Liang called out, "Aunt, come help me out here!"
Forty minutes later, the dishes were served. Lan Qingqing had put on a beautiful makeup look but felt drowsy and lethargic.
Zhang Huizhi unusually served Lan Qingqing a large bowl of hot soup, subtly laying the groundwork for asking for money.
"You should eat more," Zhang Huizhi said. "Now that you're pregnant, you need to maintain good habits and routines. You can't just sleep in; you need to go to bed early and wake up early and eat healthy food. The future of the Ke family depends on the child in your belly!"
"Okay, Aunt," Lan Qingqing replied, acknowledging her words.
Zhang Huizhi continued, "You should know how fortunate you are right now. You need to be grateful, understand? Jie is managing the company while dealing with Tong Le and has even brought Mo Kai Liang into the city for what? To take care of you and the baby! In the future, you will be the only woman in the Ke family—how lucky is that?"
Lan Qingqing felt a bit pleased; it was rare for the usually sharp-tongued Zhang Huizhi to say something somewhat sensible.
But then came the slap in the face.
"By the way, Lan Qingqing," Zhang Huizhi said, "you should have about three hundred thousand in cash right now, right? I heard from Jie that he bought you a house and a car and is even planning to support your graduate studies. You must have saved some money by now."
Lan Qingqing froze. She didn't understand why Zhang Huizhi suddenly brought up money and even mentioned an exact figure—three hundred thousand.
She found it strange; how did Zhang Huizhi know she had three hundred thousand in cash sitting on her silver card?
Seeing Lan Qingqing silent, Zhang Huizhi's tone grew firmer. "If you really have three hundred thousand in cash, after dinner, just transfer it to me. I'll pay you back later. It's not that I don't have money; it's just that all my funds are tied up in investments right now."
Zhang Huizhi added as a reminder, "But you mustn't tell Jie about this!"
Zhang Huizhi assumed Lan Qingqing would listen to her since she had always been obedient since they met. Besides, three hundred thousand wasn't a huge amount; she would pay it back.
Lan Qingqing struggled to contain her emotions; she was on the verge of losing her mind over Zhang Huizhi's demands. Not only had she just lost two bottles of skincare worth nearly ten thousand each, but now this self-proclaimed wealthy mother-in-law was asking her for money? And starting with three hundred thousand?
Mo Kai Liang couldn't hold back any longer. "Aunt, what do you need three hundred thousand for? Can't you tell Cousin if something's wrong?"
Zhang Huizhi commanded them both, "Neither of you ask questions! This money will be paid back soon enough. After dinner, Lan Qingqing will just transfer it to me."
Zhang Huizhi naturally continued to eat.
