Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 369: Chapter 369: In-laws and Sisters

This meal was very relaxed.

After the meal, Qiu Yurou and Li Shirui even started calling each other sisters.

Qiu Yurou only admires those who are talented and educated, so naturally, she likes someone like Li Shirui who seems elegant, stable in emotion, articulate, and knows how to give compliments.

After dinner, Qiu Yurou also invited them to stay and set off fireworks together.

"Sister-in-law, how many days do you plan to stay in Feng City?" Qiu Yurou asked.

Li Shirui said, "Sister-in-law, we’ll stay for two days before going back. There are quite a few things to take care of in Yun City, and we have an unmarried daughter at home. We’re worried she’ll be lonely by herself."

"So soon? Stay a few more days, the delicacies of Feng City are famous, many people come here just for the food."

"I know, but now that we’re in-laws, we can come any time, don’t you think, sister-in-law? Next time, I’ll bring my younger daughter as well."

Su Meixi, listening to their warm chatter on the side, couldn’t help but get goosebumps.

So cheesy!

By the time the New Year’s Eve dinner finished it was already 11 pm, and only then was Qiu Yurou willing to let her sister-in-law go.

As a pregnant woman, Su Meixi needed to rest early, so she came back home early as well.

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and early in the morning, Qiu Yurou already let Gu Wei know, saying that since the in-laws have come to Feng City, she booked a table of specialty dishes at the Feng City Grand Hotel, inviting everyone to try them for lunch.

Su Meixi teased Gu Wei, "Your mom used to like recognizing goddaughters, now she’s into recognizing god sisters."

Gu Wei laughed, "That’s really her character. As long as she thinks highly of someone, she’ll go all out to be good to them."

"True, she used to think I was no good, thinking I took advantage of you."

"Now she knows you’re a priceless treasure."

"That’s only because she values my birth parents."

"That’s your capital too," Gu Wei said realistically, hugging Su Meixi.

Su Meixi thought about it. Nowadays, who isn’t practical?

One’s family background is indeed one’s capital. Otherwise, why do so many people care about the other party’s family? Why do people insist on matching families of equal social status?

Matching families is indeed about smoother living.

...

Xi Wanfen was on duty on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It was rough because the cafeteria didn’t serve food on New Year’s Day, so she had to find her own meal.

Luckily, the patients in their department were all discharged before New Year’s Eve. Even those who were not fully recovered said they would come back after the holiday.

Chinese people always cherish the Spring Festival and reunion very much.

Xiao Li was on duty with Xi Wanfen today, and at noon, they went to a nearby mall to eat together.

On New Year’s Day, the mall was bustling with activity, many shops holding special promotions, and Xiao Li and Xi Wanfen chose to eat at a KFC.

Xiao Li shared some gossip with Xi Wanfen: "I heard that Dr. Dang and Dr. Liang went back to Dr. Liang’s home yesterday."

Now when Xi Wanfen hears any news about Liang Zhanbai, her heart doesn’t fluctuate in the slightest.

While munching on her hamburger, she asked, "How do you know so much?"

"I know a lot," Xiao Li said, lowering her voice excitedly.

"You might not know this, but our head nurse used to be the ex-wife of the deputy director, but the deputy director later cheated with a more powerful current wife."

"Ah? You know all this stuff?"

"I have many besties, with friends in every department, and I also have an aunt who works as a cleaner in the hospital. Did you know? Cleaners may seem inconspicuous, but it’s exactly because they’re inconspicuous that people don’t avoid them when discussing secrets, so they end up knowing a lot."

Xi Wanfen couldn’t help but smile, then asked, "But what’s the use of knowing all these things?"

"Just for a bit of fun, what other benefits could there be?"

...

After eating, Xi Wanfen called Li Shirui.

Li Shirui hung up, but a few moments later, she returned the call with a video chat.

Li Shirui was in a restaurant, with a bunch of people sitting at her table, all looking graceful and elegant with an air of affluence.

"In-law sister, this is my younger daughter, Xiao Fen," Li Shirui pulled someone into the camera frame.

Xi Wanfen immediately realized that it was her sister’s mother-in-law.

She hastily greeted: "In-law... In-law Auntie."

Li Shirui looked at Qiu Yurou: "Is that how you address her?"

"I’m not sure either." Qiu Yurou didn’t know how Xiao Fen should address her either.

Xiao Fen explained: "My mom calls you in-law sister, so shouldn’t I call you in-law auntie?"

It seemed to make sense.

Li Shirui went on to introduce everyone: "Xiao Fen, this is your brother-in-law’s brother, this is your brother-in-law’s younger sister-in-law..."

Xi Wanfen greeted everyone generously.

Li Shirui also introduced the dishes on the table, mentioning that they were all Feng City specialties.

Comparing the scene before her with her own situation, Xi Wanfen felt even lonelier.

"Mom, please take your time eating, I still have to work this afternoon."

"Okay, you go back to rest first then."

"Remember to give me my red envelope later."

"I know, you won’t miss out."

After hanging up the phone, Xi Wanfen felt a wave of melancholy.

She didn’t want to go to work, but work was her responsibility, how could she not go?

...

Liang Zhanbai and Dang Li also returned home.

During the New Year, according to tradition, daughters who are married off are not supposed to return to their parents’ home before the second day, so there were only four of them at home.

Therefore, the only person left to cook was Mrs. Liang.

Dang Li, looking to build a good reputation in front of her future in-laws, had been making a diligent effort starting from last night’s New Year’s Eve dinner.

She was cooking, washing dishes, and even made a variety of dishes.

The Liang’s parents couldn’t stop praising her, and Mrs. Liang even held her hand, saying she was much more sensible than the previous girlfriend.

Dang Li couldn’t help but feel happy inside, and Liang Zhanbai was also very grateful to her, calling her virtuous.

Because of all the praises, she was having a very happy time at the Liang Family.

However, on New Year’s Day today, when it came time for lunch, she noticed that Liang’s parents hadn’t shown any intention of cooking.

Could it be that they were going to eat leftovers?

Actually, eating leftovers wasn’t a big deal, as it’s common to eat leftovers on the first day of the New Year.

She had dumplings in the morning, so she wasn’t really hungry at noon and just sat on the sofa browsing her phone.

Then Mrs. Liang came over and asked her, "Xiao Li, what are we eating for lunch today?"

Dang Li was taken aback, thinking, why are you asking me?

"Isn’t there some leftover food from last night? Can we eat that?"

"That works, then... I’ll go heat it up."

"Sure," Dang Li thought it was no big deal.

After lunch, once Liang’s parents had put down their bowls and chopsticks, they left, implying that the two of them should wash up.

Dang Li remembered that Xi Wanfen and Liang Zhanbai broke up because Liang Zhanbai said Xi Wanfen didn’t do any housework and wasn’t good to his parents, so she took the initiative to wash the dishes.

Who knew that in the evening, Mrs. Liang would come find her again, smilingly saying, "Xiao Li, I’ve already bought the vegetables, why don’t you go and stir-fry them?"

Dang Li was displeased at that moment, why should it be her turn to stir-fry?

But Mrs. Liang was still praising her: "I see you’re quite good at cooking, you did a great job with last night’s New Year’s Eve dinner."

Dang Li: "..."

Was she really expected to do so much work on her first visit?
