My mother-in-law and Wu De had gone out, leaving only me and the Mistress in the living room.
I walked over to the Mistress with a smile on my face, "You're still pregnant, so you need to take care of yourself and rest more..."
The Mistress shot me a glare and ignored me.
I deliberately said, "My family's doing pretty well. Wu De just received a year-end bonus of five hundred thousand. If you want to eat something, just let me know..."
Upon hearing this, the Mistress's expression changed dramatically, "What? He got a year-end bonus of five hundred thousand?"
I nodded, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
The Mistress looked furious, "That bastard is hiding everything from me!"
With that, she stormed back into her room.
When Wu De returned, the Mistress pulled him into the room, saying she needed his help to check the lights. I knew she was trying to probe Wu De for information.
With Wu De occupied by the Mistress, it was the perfect opportunity for me to execute my plan.
I walked into the kitchen where my mother-in-law was cooking.
I approached her from behind, gently massaging her shoulders as I said, "Mom, have you seen that bag belonging to Sister Xiao Lei? Isn't it really expensive?"
My mother-in-law's expression changed immediately, "What bag?"
I replied, "The one on the coffee table..."
She turned and rushed out of the kitchen into the living room. I followed closely behind.
My mother-in-law picked up the Mistress's bag and examined it closely.
I intentionally remarked, "This bag looks so exquisitely made; it must be genuine leather, right? I heard that young people these days love buying bags like this; they can cost tens of thousands..."
My mother-in-law trembled with anger, "How much? Tens of thousands? How much can my son earn in a year?"
Feigning surprise, I said, "Mom, didn't you know? Wu De got a year-end bonus of five hundred thousand! He said he wants to save it for a house..."
Upon hearing this, my mother-in-law became even more furious, "What? Five hundred thousand? That bastard hasn't given me a single cent!"
I continued to stoke the flames, "Mom, doesn't it seem like Wu De doesn't trust you?"
The mother-in-law's face turned pale with anger. "How dare he!"
I continued, "Then why didn't he give you the money to keep safe?"
The mother-in-law trembled with rage. "He must be saving money to support his mistress!"
After saying this, she threw the spatula she was holding into the air.
The spatula fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Satisfied, I picked up the spatula, turned off the stove, and walked out.
I wanted to go see the commotion.
Earlier, when I was talking to the mistress, I had deliberately tossed my hair.
When the mistress saw my newly bought diamond earrings, her eyes lit up.
The earrings were a gift from my aunt.
She said they were just ordinary small diamonds and not worth much.
The mistress stared at my earrings with wide eyes.
I then took out a full set of high-end skincare products from my bag and waved them in front of her.
The mistress looked enviously at me and asked, "That must have cost a lot, right?"
I shook my head. "Not expensive, just a few tens of thousands."
The mistress gasped, "A few tens of thousands is not expensive?"
I lowered my voice and said, "Wu De gave me five hundred thousand."
"But my aunt gave me even more."
The mother-in-law opened the bedroom door and saw the mistress beating Wu De.
Under the mistress's blows, Wu De kept begging for mercy. "Wife, please stop hitting me! I was wrong!"
The mistress panted angrily, "What did you do wrong?"
Wu De replied, "I... I have a year-end bonus, but I gave it all to you!"
Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law became even angrier. "What? You really have a year-end bonus? You ungrateful son, how can you not be filial to your mother?"
The mother-in-law angrily tugged at Wu De's ear and pulled him out of the bedroom.
"Mom, what are you doing? Be gentle, it hurts!"
Fuming, the mother-in-law scolded, "You received your year-end bonus, why didn't you give me any?"
Wu De looked flustered, "I... I just haven't had the chance yet!"
The mother-in-law was relentless, "Hurry up and transfer it to me!"
Wu De quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll transfer it to you right now..."
Then he added, "Mom, don't rush; in a few days, there will be another sum of money coming in, and it's much more than this..."
The mother-in-law's eyes lit up, "How much?"
Seeing this, I quickly interjected, "Oh no, my stomach hurts..."
The mother-in-law shot me a glance and disdainfully said, "Why are you so troublesome?"
I replied pitifully, "It might be my liver cancer acting up... Wu De, can you do me a favor?"
Wu De paused for a moment, "What favor?"
I said, "Aunt just called and said she wants to make me the heir to her estate... but she has a condition..."
