Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 70.1: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (57)
“I thought grandma loved you more, but I didn’t expect that she would buy whatever I wanted. Grandma is so nice.” Shao Qi said innocently.
Zheng Xiaolei is only one year younger than Shao Qi, but their grades are very different. Because of Song Yuqing, Zheng Xiaolei was severely delayed and started in the first grade at the age of eight.
He is in the first grade at such an old age, but he has no advantage at all, or his mind is not on studying at all.
Being spoiled by his grandparents, he always had everything he wanted, but he ran into a wall when it came to the game console. Zheng Xiaolei naturally took it to heart.
Stirred by Shao Qi’s words, he didn’t even go to school, ran straight home, and made a big fuss at Father and Mother Zheng.
“You are biased. You buy everything for Shao Qi. I won’t study anymore!” Zheng Xiaolei shouted.
Father Zheng looked at Mother Zheng in surprise, as if he didn’t understand why his grandson suddenly made a fuss.
Mother Zheng thought about how she had just given Shao Qi more than 2,000 yuan, and felt guilty for a moment, but she still said, “Boys must study, and girls can not study. Don’t listen to that girl’s nonsense. I gave her the money for you.”
Although this was the truth, Zheng Xiaolei refused to listen and continued to make a big fuss.
The child’s voice was shrill and piercing, like a devil’s sound. This was an old neighborhood, and soon the neighbors came to the door.
Father and Mother Zheng are not people of high quality. When faced with complaints from neighbors, they just responded with harsh words without any apology.
Seeing the old couple like this, the neighbors could only say: “If you do this again, we will call the police and sue you for disturbing the public!”
Mother Zheng said, “If you want to sue, then sue us. You sue us for disturbing the public, but I will also sue you for bullying the elderly. When the police come, I will lie on the ground and see if you can explain yourself clearly.”
After hearing this, the neighbors were very angry, but they were also afraid that they would really offend the two old people and be sued on the spot, so they could only cover their ears and leave in indignation.
Zheng Xiaolei was a naughty boy to begin with, and when he was around two rogue elders like Father and Mother Zheng, he naturally learned all the skills of a rogue. He would lie on the ground and throw a tantrum, and even went to the point of refusing to go to school if he wasn’t given a game console.
Although Father and Mother Zheng hoped that he would study hard, they could not bear to teach him a lesson after all, as he was their grandson, and finally they could only compromise with him.
Mother Zheng did not blame Zheng Xiaolei for being ignorant, but instead blamed Shao Qi, thinking that she was young but had a bad heart.
“Next time you buy something for Shao Qi, tell her not to tell Xiao Lei.” Father Zheng advised.
Although Mother Zheng hated Shao Qi, she had already invested so much in Shao Qi and she didn’t want to give up just like that, so she had to continue to keep in touch with her.
Shao Qi had no idea what had happened in the Zheng family. It was only when he met Zheng Xiaolei the next day that the kid could not keep secrets, and Shao Qi got all the information about the Zheng family out of him in a few words.
“It’s no big deal that you bought new stationery. I also bought a game console. Grandma said that you are a girl and will belong to someone else’s family sooner or later. I am the root of the Zheng family, and everything in the house will be mine from now on.” Zheng Xiaolei said proudly.
Shao Qi looked at the child and recalled that in her previous life, Zheng Xiaolei seemed to have spoken to her like this. At that time, Zheng Xiaolei said that the future of Shao’s company belonged to him and he wanted to drive Shao Qi out.
Later, Shao Qi was really driven out of the country by Zheng Xiaolei and his mother.
When Mother Zheng came to coax her again today, Shao Qi repeated these words to Mother Zheng verbatim, saying, “Grandma, do you really think so? I thought you were the dearest.”
Shao Qi pretended to be sad.
Mother Zheng never expected that what she said privately to Father Zheng at home would actually be heard by Shao Qi through Zheng Xiaolei’s mouth.
Mother Zheng also knew that Shao Qi was still young, and if she could really coax her into submission, it would be easier to control her in the future. She had no choice but to say all the nice things she could to coax Shao Qi.
But Shao Qi was not so easy to coax. She just said, “Hanhan’s grandma wants to buy her a gold medal learning machine. I want one too.”
“You always say you love me the most, but you never say you’ll buy me a learning machine.”
Mother Zheng naturally knew about this gold medal learning machine. She wanted to buy it for Zheng Xiaolei, but when she found out that a machine cost 10,000 yuan, she finally couldn’t bear to buy it.
In her heart, Mother Zheng cursed Shao Qi for having such a big appetite despite her young age. However, looking at her granddaughter’s fair and tender skin, who looked exactly like her biological mother, Mother Zheng felt that Shao Qi would definitely marry into a good family in the future. Therefore, she was quite conflicted about whether to make such a big bet.
Shao Qi seemed to know what Mother Zheng was thinking, and continued to increase her firepower, saying: “Hanhan said, who doesn’t want a learning machine now? With a learning machine, your studies will improve by leaps and bounds, and you can marry into a good family in the future, so that you can help your family.”
