Du Gang seemed to deliberately remain silent for a few seconds, his old fox-like eyes quickly glancing over Su Xing and Shen Jingyu's faces before he once again scolded his son, "You’re becoming more and more reckless with your words. Your sister is marrying someone; what right do you have to speak up? Can’t I afford to raise a daughter?!"
He Xiaoqing felt a heaviness in her heart, her eyelids lowering. After a moment, she finally spoke, "I’m just an ordinary retired old lady. The help I can provide to the children in terms of finances and resources is negligible. Perhaps in your eyes, those are just the basics. The only promise I can make is to treat all the children equally and do my utmost for them. So whether you are satisfied or not, my abilities are limited. This marriage truly gives me a headache."
"You don’t need to worry about that, sister-in-law. I know your capabilities. It’s been tough raising two children alone all these years," Du Meng reassured her. "As for the children in the future, as their father-in-law, I naturally won’t just stand by; I will do my best to help them and ensure they have a better life!"
He Xiaoqing could only manage a dry smile; what else could she say? Her financial limitations left her feeling insecure.
It was clear that Du Gang was playing the role of the bad cop while Du Meng took on the good cop.
Du Meng continued, "Our family has prepared a villa for Meng Meng, along with two cars—one big and one small. As long as they maintain a normal lifestyle, their future will be worry-free! However, brother-in-law, I heard your job is with Sister Xing; I think it’s necessary to find something more stable. What do you think, Sister Xing?"
Su Xing couldn’t help but scoff inwardly. Su He earned twelve thousand a month, which was already the highest salary Su Xing could offer him. How could he support a villa, luxury cars, and a child on that?
Du Meng was clearly trying to steer the conversation towards Su Xing, wanting her to make a statement!
"I will also prepare a villa; as for the car, I’ll get whatever Meng Meng likes. Regarding work, what insights do you have, brother-in-law Da Jiu?"
He Xiaoqing felt like she was sitting on pins and needles upon hearing her daughter’s words. Her son was not only carefree but also lacked ambition. What right did he have to let his sister go this far for him? They were both her children; how could she not feel heartbroken? And how would Shen Jingyu view their family?
Thinking about this made He Xiaoqing uneasy as she glanced at Shen Jingyu, who seemed to understand her discomfort and offered her a reassuring look.
Suddenly, Du Meng lifted her head from the plate. Her big, innocent eyes sparkled as she looked at Su He like an ostrich hiding its head in the sand before turning to Su Xing with confidence.
"A Xing Sister, you don’t need to prepare those things for me anymore—houses and cars are enough; there’s no need to waste money. Whatever Xiao He Ge earns in the future is what we’ll have; I won’t be picky!"
Su Xing raised an eyebrow; this girl didn’t seem to be putting on an act at all. Perhaps her inner world was quite rich after all—far better than her demanding brother.
Su Xing quietly glanced over, noticing that Tian was still pretending to be dead. His face bore bruises, and the marks on his neck were still visible. When he first entered, he had hesitated to eat anything hard after removing the plaster from his leg. It was truly ironic how he chose to act tough at the wrong times and showed weakness when he should have been strong.
Du Meng's gaze turned icy as she subtly glared at her brother, as if blaming her for disrupting his rhythm. She completely pretended not to see him, feeling frustrated after he had confiscated her phone, sent random messages, and even beaten up Su He. She was still angry about it!
Seeing this scene, Su Xing found it amusing. Du Meng appeared delicate but was actually quite reasonable; she had genuinely taken a liking to him!
"Meng Meng, whether you want it or not is up to you, but how we present it reflects our attitude," he said. In a bit of a rush, he had prepared a small piece of jewelry as a welcome gift for her, hoping to embrace her as part of their family.
Su Xing placed the gift box in front of Du Meng. She opened it without any ulterior motives and even looked delighted. Just earlier, her future mother-in-law had given her two red envelopes, and she had been just as happy, not caring about the amount.
However, the shock from seeing the high-end jewelry was truly overwhelming. "Oh my goodness! This is a limited edition from Van Cleef & Arpels! I’m not even qualified to get one; I can’t believe it! A Xing Sister, I love you! You’re amazing!"
Coughing slightly, she added, "But don’t love me too much; there’s someone sitting right next to you."
Under the intense gaze of someone who was closely watching her, Su Xing unconsciously swallowed hard. "If you like it, then keep it," he said.
This girl claimed she could manage hundreds of thousands worth of jewelry without batting an eye; they would definitely need to find a way to get along in the future.
Yet Su Xing felt troubled again; he still needed to find something more suitable for his brother that could earn money and support the family!
Though the Du family members didn’t say much, Du Gang felt a sense of satisfaction seeing the item go into Du Meng's bag. However, Du Meng wore a cold expression as she frequently stared at Su Xing with eyes that seemed ready to explode like Shen Jingyu's.
After returning to her seat, Shen Jingyu deliberately placed his hand over Su Xing's on the table and leaned in closer to whisper in her ear, "You’re such a brother-supporting fanatic!"
Su Xing gasped slightly and uncontrollably kicked his calf under the table with her high heel. Leaning slightly closer with an arched eyebrow, she whispered back, "Haven’t I supported you before?"
Shen Jingyu scoffed internally: "Is it the same? I’m your man!"
But on the surface, he wore a smile full of indulgence. To the elders, it seemed like playful banter, while in Du Meng's mind, he could only think about how Su Xing must have said something flirtatious to make Shen Jingyu wear such a satisfied grin!
Jealousy drove Du Meng mad! He angrily raised his glass and downed its contents in one go, then deliberately clinked the glass loudly as he set it down.
Shen Jingyu was quite pleased with this scene and decided to hold Su Xing's hand without letting go. However, Du Meng’s true intentions had not yet been fulfilled.
Suppressing his anger, he waited until the wine had been passed around three times before continuing the conversation. Since Sister Xing was being so considerate and showing great sincerity towards my sister, as her brother-in-law, I couldn't fall behind.
My father has a special status and isn't suitable for arranging work for Xiao He; I’ll take care of this myself. Xiao He is working on Xinghe Street, which is currently facing development. I will do my utmost to help you, Sister Xing. Once the development is complete, Xiao He’s job will stabilize.
At that time, our families can hold a grand wedding together.
Su Xing couldn't help but clench her hand. Her expression darkened; Du Meng was indeed targeting Xinghe Street. He was trying to insert himself into this marriage!
Su Xing pondered how to respond when Shen Jingyu gently squeezed her hand. Then he coldly spoke up for the first time, addressing Du Meng, who had been bouncing around for most of the evening.
As for my wife's brother's job, there's no need for Du Zi to worry about it. The matters concerning the stars are not for others to maliciously covet!
If Du Zi wants his business to run smoothly, he should stop fixating on things that don’t concern him!
Shen Jingyu shook his head as he threatened Du Meng; he certainly didn’t want to swallow this bitter pill quietly.
Alright! Since Shen Zi has spoken up, I can’t just ignore it!
Then I can invest five hundred million in Xinghe Street! Sister Xing, you’re guaranteed to profit from this.
Since your fiancé doesn’t want me involved, then let the Su Family cover this ten billion Bride Price!
Su He is utterly useless; I have to make more plans for my sister!
The Su Family was stunned—ten billion? Du Meng, are you a lion?!
