Chapter 77 Meeting Mother-in-law for the First Time
Yu Fu was staring at the pink diamond on TV when a yellow-haired man patted his shoulder.

"Uncle Yu Fu, when are you going to pay me back the 200,000 you owe me?"

Yu Fu said, "It's almost done, why are you in such a hurry? Wait until I go to Jiangcheng and come back. By then, I can take out not only 200,000 but also 20 million!"

A woman in her 50s came over angrily: "Yu Fu, stop bragging! My son's high school tuition is due again, and the private high school said that the tuition for the next semester must be paid at the end of the semester. Where can I get the 10,000 yuan tuition for this semester!"

Yu Fu said: "Wait for me to go to Jiangcheng, and when I come back, what will 10,000 yuan for tuition be? By then, maybe our son can even go abroad to study!"

With such a rich brother-in-law, does my son still need to worry?
……

The starry sky on Xingxing Island is beautiful at night, with the crescent moon filled with stars and the endless sea complementing each other.

Yuan Xi was lying on the sofa chair on the balcony, enjoying the beautiful scenery outside, without any disturbance.

Without Mi Chen's data, without Gu Hanchen's bad temper, and without worrying about how many emails I received today that I didn't reply to, I could completely relax...

Huo Shiyan walked to the side of Yuan Xi and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I saw a starry sky like this. This kind of starry sky can only be seen when you are very young."

Huo Shiyan looked up and said, "Indeed, this starry night sky is too rare in the city."

Huo Shiyan's cell phone rang, and he frowned and answered it, "What's the matter?"

Huo Ting: "Shi Yan, your mother was angry with me. She left directly on a plane. I don't know where she went. When I asked her bodyguards, none of them told me. I'm very worried about her."

Huo Shiyan frowned: "Isn't she angry enough all day long?"

"She was really angry this time. Two years ago on our wedding anniversary, I bought a pink diamond for your mother. Lawrence happened to say that his wife also loved pink diamonds when she was alive, and he wanted the pink diamond to accompany his beloved to be buried. A gentleman would not take away what others like, especially from a dead person. Their feelings were also very touching, so I sold the pink diamond to Lawrence."

"Who knew that today your mother was watching a short video on a marketing account and saw that the diamond was used as a wedding ring by the president of some entertainment company. She insisted that I was reluctant to spend money on me and deliberately made up a story that Mrs. Lawrence wanted to be buried with the pink diamond. She also said that I insulted the diamond and that I didn't love her anymore..."

"I am really wronged. If I had known that Lawrence was not burying the money with his deceased wife, I would not have given it to Lawrence no matter what he said."

"She is now convinced that I am lying, that I don't love her anymore, and that I am unwilling to spend money on her..."

Huo Shiyan was really helpless about his love-hate relationship with his parents, who were almost a hundred years old in total.

Two middle-aged men of 47 years old often play the same tricks as these young couples. Junior high school students are much more mature than them in love.

Huo Shiyan: "My mother probably hasn't removed me from the blacklist yet, go and coax her yourself."

Huo Ting: "I don't expect you to coax me, can you help me ask where your mother is?"

Huo Shiyan said: "Let me ask."

Huo Shiyan hung up the phone directly.

Seeing Huo Shiyan frowning, Yuan Xi asked, "What's wrong?"

Huo Shiyan said: "My parents had a fight."

"Ah?" Yuan Xi was stunned. "Then do you want to go and persuade him?"

"I'm not familiar with them, no need to persuade them, just go to sleep."

Yuan Xi listened to Huo Shiyan's words. It seemed that he had a very weak relationship with his parents.

Yes, if they had a good relationship, how could he not know he had a younger brother until he was almost five years old?

"When did you go abroad to study?"

Huo Shiyan said: "When I was in junior high school."

"Are you alone?" Yuan Xi asked.

Huo Shiyan nodded and said, "Yes, I originally wanted to find a childhood playmate to go with me, but her parents didn't agree with her going abroad."

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan, feeling sorry for him: "I have a friend who also went to study in the United States in junior high school. When he left, he was crying and hugged the old tree at the entrance of the village with his 200-pound body. He said he didn't want to go to the United States at all. If he had to go, he insisted that I go with him. It's good that you two know each other, so you can have a companion."

Huo Shiyan: “…”

At that time, he didn't weigh 200 pounds, at most 160 pounds. And he didn't cry and hug the tree and refuse to leave.

Huo Shiyan: "Your friend wants you to study abroad together, so why don't you go to the United States with him?"

Yuan Xi chuckled and said, "I like to eat the river fish in Ruohu Lake and the bayberry on Ruohu Mountain. These are not available in the United States."

In fact, food is secondary. It is also very difficult to apply to Ivy League schools in the United States.

Although the family was well off at the time, they could not afford to support Yuan Xi's study in the United States since junior high school.

Huo Shiyan: "In your eyes, he is not as important as the river-fresh bayberry?"

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan with some curiosity. Even though Huo Shiyan treated her as a substitute, they were still a legal couple after all.

It would be inappropriate if she said that another man was more important.

"Well, not as important as eating."

Huo Shiyan said softly, "Go to sleep."

Yuan Xi listened to the sound of waves at the seaside and gradually fell asleep. She vaguely felt Huo Shiyan kissing her, but she was too sleepy to open her eyes.

……

In the early morning, when the sun shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Yuan Xi woke up. She forgot to close the curtains last night.

Yuan Xi was a little hungry, so when he went downstairs to find something to eat, he saw an angry woman sitting at the dining table.

The woman looked to be around thirty years old, with long wavy hair, delicate makeup, fiery red lips, and a strong aura.

The Filipino maid who was so enthusiastic and smiling yesterday didn't even dare to breathe in front of her.

"Mummy, Mummy, my dearest Mummy!"

Xiao Shihuo ran down the stairs quickly and threw himself into Shi Zhen's arms.

"Mommy! You're back?! I'm so happy!"

When Yuan Xi heard Xiao Shihuo's shout, he froze in place.

The ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law eventually, but Yuan Xi never thought that she would meet her mother-in-law in this state.

She was still wearing pajamas, and she only brushed her teeth when she got up in the morning. She didn't even wash her face or comb her hair properly...

At this moment, she couldn't just leave without saying goodbye to go and put on makeup, so she had to bite the bullet and go over to greet him.

"mom."

Yuan Xi tried her best to control her nervousness and shouted while maintaining a perfect smile in the workplace.

Shi Zhen raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Xi. "Good morning. Did Xiao Huohuo disturb you these days?"

Yuan Xilian waved his hands and said, "No, no, I like Huo Huo very much. He is just like Shi Yan when he was a child."

Shi Zhen looked at Yuan Xi curiously, then held Xiaohuo's face and kissed him: "Huohuo and Shiyan are different when they were children. It's obvious that my Huohuo is much cuter than Shiyan when he was a child."

Huo Shiyan came down the stairs and said, "Ms. Shi, you're going to be a grandmother soon, so don't play tricks with my dad by getting angry and running away at every turn."

Shi Zhen snorted, "I knew your last name was Huo, and your heart is biased towards the one with the last name Huo!"

"Ask Yuan Xi to judge whether I should be angry or not. I have liked that pink aurora diamond for a long time. It would be fine if your father didn't buy it, but he did buy it and said he wanted to give it to Lawrence's deceased wife to be buried with her. The couple had a deep affection for each other, and it was her last wish, so he gave it up.

But now, the Pink Aurora is used as a wedding ring by Fan Yan, the cheating CEO. Isn't it an insult to the diamond for a cheating man to use the Pink Aurora? Shouldn't I be angry?"

When Yuan Xi heard about Pink Aurora, he thought of the Weibo post in which someone @ed him in the comment section of Chu Yan yesterday.

The pink diamond that Chu Yan showed off was the pink aurora...
