My Brilliant CEO Wife

Chapter 393: Neighbor Lao Wang


After going around the circle of relatives, thanks to Yun Hao's red envelopes, it's safe to say that none of Zhao Shishi's relatives were dissatisfied with Yun Hao. From those just learning to walk to those at ninety-nine, as soon as Yun Hao's name was mentioned, they were all smiles!

Seeing the relatives and friends singing praises about Yun Hao, Shishi's mom was beaming too, feeling very proud. However, on a day in the future when she found out that Yun Hao had handed out four or five hundred thousand in red envelopes, she wasn't happy anymore. She thought Yun Hao was being extravagant and felt those relatives were thoughtless for accepting so much money.

Dinner was at Zhao Shishi's uncle's house, and it was a lavish feast with chicken and lamb. Just as Yun Hao was nearly suffocating surrounded by a group of relatives he couldn't name, Shishi managed to rescue him!

"How about it? Aren't my relatives terrifying?" Zhao Shishi held Yun Hao's hand as they strolled along the evening path, looking just like a couple, evoking envy in others!

"How could they be? It's just that I didn't experience this growing up, so it was a bit of an adjustment for me!"

"Why did you give out so much money today? Do you know the red envelope you gave to the big uncle with 88,888 was more than his family earns in a year?"

"You know, your husband is rich!"

"Shameless, who is your wife? I'm just thinking with so much money gone, I'll be eating dirt for a year!" Zhao Shishi playfully gave Yun Hao a look, finding the term "husband" new and exciting but didn't actually call Yun Hao that.

"You don't need to pay it back, but if you really want to, I don't mind, just that I don't want money!"

"Then what do you want?"

"You! I want you to repay me with a lifetime!" Yun Hao suddenly stopped, embraced Zhao Shishi's arms, and gazed tenderly into her eyes, saying softly.

"Dream on, spending several hundred thousand to buy me for a lifetime, humph!" Zhao Shishi felt touched but turned her head arrogantly and walked ahead first!

Yun Hao hurried to catch up, took Zhao Shishi's small hand once more. Zhao Shishi only symbolically tried to pull away, then let him hold her, as the two of them continued to walk sweetly and silently forward!

"Hey, is there square dancing over there?" Zhao Shishi pointed to a small square not far ahead and said, "Let's go take a look, I loved watching people dance when I was a kid!"

As the two reached the edge of the small square, they listened to the deafening tune of "Little Apple," watching a group of elderlies dancing energetically, finding it quite entertaining in its own way!

"Little Shishi, look, isn't the one in the black coat your mom?" Suddenly, Yun Hao spotted a familiar figure among the crowd!

"Impossible, Mom is at Uncle's house..." Zhao Shishi reflexively denied it, but when she followed Yun Hao's gaze and recognized the familiar figure, she was instantly stunned, then said somewhat disbelievingly, "It does seem like Mom!"

"But... who's the old man dancing with Mom?"

"Might be a future father-in-law!" Yun Hao replied offhandedly, quickly changing course for fear of upsetting Shishi, "maybe just a dance partner!"

"No way, seeing how happy they look, it can't be just a dance partner!"

"Ahem, little Shishi, actually Auntie is only in her forties, finding an old partner isn't out of the question, as her children, we..." Yun Hao thought Shishi would be upset, not wanting her Mom to find someone new, so he tried to console her.

But Zhao Shishi shot him a speechless look, stopping him from continuing, "What are you thinking? It's not like I disagree with Mom finding someone new! Over the years, I've been secretly hoping for her to find a partner!"

Afterward, Zhao Shishi took Yun Hao to sit by a nearby stone table and shared a bit about her own life!

"When I was five, my dad ran away from home and never came back. Many people advised my mom to leave me with my grandparents and find a good man to marry, but she never agreed!"

"These years, she single-handedly supported my education and raised me. When we were poor, and I couldn't afford tuition, she went to these relatives and friends for loans, but no one was willing to lend. They thought we couldn't repay, and some even called me a burden! So Mom had to take on several part-time jobs, sleeping less than three hours a day!"

"From that time, I vowed to let Mom live a good life and make all those relatives envy her!"

"Today might be the happiest day for Mom in years because of you. You let her shine in front of relatives and friends. Really, thank you!"

By the time Zhao Shishi finished, her beautiful eyes were already teary, making Yun Hao's heart ache!

"Alright, alright, with me here, you will never be wronged again, and I'll make sure Auntie is happy too!" Yun Hao opened his arms and embraced Zhao Shishi, gently comforting her.

The two embraced there until the square dance dispersed, then quietly followed not far behind Shishi's mom towards home!

"Look at that old man next to Auntie, isn't he the one who danced with her?"

"Can't see clearly, the streetlight is too dim!"

"Let's hurry, I want to see what my future father-in-law looks like, is he handsome?" Yun Hao said, wrapping an arm around Zhao Shishi's slender waist, quickening his pace!

When they reached the entrance to Zhao Shishi's house, Shishi's mom went home alone, while the old man continued ahead and disappeared around a corner.

"Mom, did you have fun today?" After returning home, Zhao Shishi saw her mother sitting on the sofa, bouncing up to her with a smile and asked.

"Fun, of course, it was fun, my good daughter and son-in-law made me so proud. You wouldn't believe it, your uncle was overjoyed when he received the red envelope!"

"By the way, Mom, who's that old uncle just now?"

"Old uncle? What old uncle?" Shishi's mom feigned ignorance.

"The one you were dancing with, and just parted with at the house gate!" Zhao Shishi smiled mischievously at her mother, her face full of naughty smiles!

"When did you see that? You child..." Then Shishi's mom slowly began to tell Shishi about her and Uncle Wang, who is the old man she danced with, commonly known as the neighbor Wang!
