Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 70.4: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (60)

Shao Qi originally thought that this method would not work, but perhaps it was because human nature is so lowly that people don’t want things that are handed to them, and if they have to work hard to get something, they will cherish it even more. It is also because of this that these PUA methods, when used on Mother Zheng, the PUA (Pick-up Artist or being gas-lighted, emotional manipulation) master, actually work.

Although the PUA was successful, Shao Qi felt a little bored. She thought of her home in her previous life. After Zheng Yaozu and Song Yuqing got married, they took the old couple of the Zheng family in. Although she was their granddaughter, the old couple of the Zheng family did not have a good face at all.

At that time, Shao Qi thought that the arrival of her grandparents would improve her situation at home, but she didn’t expect that it would only make the situation worse.

Because Father and Mother Zheng hated Shao Yu and Shao Mingzhu, and felt that it was this father and daughter who caused them to be separated from their son for so many years, the old couple intensified their harassment of Shao Qi, attempting to take revenge on this bloodline of the Shao family.

Shao Qi still remembers kneeling in the cold corridor to wipe the floor during the freezing winter. Her knees seemed to ache slightly at that time. Because of this, she developed a chronic illness from which she was never able to recover.

Although the family could afford a nanny, Father and Mother Zheng dismissed all other nannies on the grounds that it was a waste of money. They only kept the cook and the driver, and left all the chores at home to Shao Qi.

Until an old friend of the Shao family came to propose marriage, Song Yuqing flatly rejected the good marriage, and sent the person out of the country at lightning speed, and then ignored her for many years.

Shao Qi recalled all this and found it very funny to see that Mother Zheng was constantly troubled by her emotions.

“Qiqi, this is something I made myself, you must try it.” Mother Zheng eagerly placed a portion of food in front of her as a tribute.

Shao Qi said coldly: “Don’t come to see me in the future.”

“Qiqi?” Mother Zheng was puzzled.

Shao Qi said: “I was unhappy before, so Grandpa gave me an amusement park directly. I don’t like these things of yours.”

When Shao Qi turned around, Mother Zheng was still explaining her difficulties to her, but Shao Qi didn’t listen at all and left quickly.

When Mother Zheng arrived home with her things, she seemed a little lonely.

Zheng Xiaolei had been causing troubles during this period, so Father Zheng inevitably paid more attention to him. As a result, he did not notice that something was wrong with his wife. Seeing her expression, he asked, “What trouble has Shao Qi caused again?”

Mother Zheng immediately defended herself, “Why do you say that about Qiqi? She is very well behaved and everyone likes her.”

Father Zheng was very puzzled by his wife’s attitude, as if he had just gotten to know her again. He said, “We’re already home, why are you still pretending? That damn girl can’t hear you.”

“You’re not allowed to scold Qiqi!” said Mother Zheng.

Father Zheng looked sideways, seeing Mother Zheng’s serious expression, and couldn’t help asking, “What kind of magic potion did Shao Qi give you?”

However, Mother Zheng still insisted on defending Shao Qi, and she looked as if Shao Qi had cast a spell on her.

While the old couple was arguing, there were waves of impatient knocks on the door.

After the door opened, Zheng Yaozu rushed in immediately and asked impatiently, “What are you doing in the room? Why did you take so long to open the door?”

Zheng Yaozu was not in a good condition at the moment, and it was not known whether it was due to his hasty journey, but he not only looked dishevelled, but also looked extremely haggard, as if he had not slept for several days and nights.

“What’s wrong with you? You don’t look well.” Father Zheng asked with a frown.

Zheng Yaozu opened his mouth and wanted to complain, but in the end he swallowed it all and shook his head and said, “I left Shencheng.”

“What does it mean to leave Shencheng? Are you never going there again?” Father Zheng asked puzzledly.

Zheng Yaozu nodded.

Father Zheng immediately became anxious and said, “The family has no income now. If you don’t stay in Shencheng to work hard, what will happen to the whole family? Will we starve?”

Father Zheng didn’t know what Zheng Yaozu was doing in Shencheng, and thought he was in love with a beautiful, rich girl, so he didn’t want Zheng Yaozu to give up his bright future in Shencheng.

Zheng Yaozu shook his head.

Father Zheng added, “Didn’t you say last time that Miss Zhang treated you very well? Her family is well off. Although she is older than you, your mother and I are not unenlightened people. It doesn’t matter if she is older, as long as you are sincere.”

Father Zheng only knew that Zheng Yaozu was dating an older woman named Zhang, but he had no idea that this woman was 20 years older than his son. But even if he did know that, once he saw Aunt Zhang’s wealth, he would probably ignore the age difference.

Zheng Yaozu closed his eyes, and when he thought of Aunt Zhang, he couldn’t help but feel a pain in his body.

He thought he was Aunt Zhang’s true love and thought things would be different, but in the end there was no difference, he was still tormented and couldn’t even get away easily.

Now that he had finally escaped from Shencheng back to Lincheng, he naturally didn’t want to go back to that hell on earth.

“We broke up.” Zheng Yaozu could only say this lightly.

Father Zheng immediately said, “Break up? You don’t want to stay in Shencheng, so how can you meet such a good partner?”
