Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl -
Chapter 232 - 232 232 Who Would Complain About Having Too
Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Who Would Complain About Having Too Much Money? Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Who Would Complain About Having Too Much Money? “Yes,” Jiang Cheng was still unable to snap out of the daze from the astronomical figure of money.
“How is my husband so impressive? It just proves that my judgment back then was spot on.”
Jiang Cheng was utterly mollified by his wife’s compliment.
When the three of them returned home, they happened to run into Ding Yuehua’s cousin Yao Xiangzhi who had come over for a visit.
This cousin, the daughter of Ding Yuehua’s aunt, was very close to Ding Yuehua and had married even better than her.
Ding Yuehua had always been told by her family that she had married the worst, but today she finally gained some face. Seeing her cousin, she couldn’t help but feel a glow of pride.
After Jiang Cheng and Ding Xuexue greeted each other, they went to their respective studies, leaving Ding Yuehua to entertain Yao Xiangzhi.
“Yuehua, I heard that your husband’s family has some background…” Yao Xiangzhi sat on the sofa with an elegant air, “I’ve even heard some insider information. It said that the land and construction in Jincheng has some connection to the Jiang Family.”
“Cousin, it’s more or less like that, but the Jiang family has many people, so it may not mean much for us,” Ding Yuehua said, but the joy on her face couldn’t be hidden any longer.
Her relationship with Yao Xiangzhi had always been good. Although they secretly competed, they also helped each other out.
Before Yao Xiangzhi could continue asking, Ding Yuehua lowered her voice and said, “It’s still too early to talk about this, but anyway, marrying Jiang Cheng isn’t a lost cause after all.”
“Really?” Yao Xiangzhi had also rushed over after getting the news to find out if it was true. Worried it was just a rumor, her tone inevitably became more animated when she learned it was fact.
Although Jiang Cheng was now holding a high position, Yao Xiangzhi’s family in Beijing could also be considered quite decent.
But who would complain about gilding the lily?
Especially when this flower turned out to be particularly brilliant.
Ding Yuehua was indeed very satisfied that by recognizing a father-in-law, she had gained so much more.
Yet she also felt troubled by the big family, with so many people and only a few who were easy to get along with.
She poured out all her troubles to Yao Xiangzhi at once.
After listening, Yao Xiangzhi said, “In that case, the lion’s share will eventually end up in Jiang Zhe’s hands. The old man must be his favorite too.”
“Yes,” Ding Yuehua, who had been a cold observer for such a long time, knew well that no matter what Jiang Zhe did, Jiang Yaowang was incredibly indulgent and spoiling, practically without principle.
Ding Xuexue had to put in a lot of effort to please Jiang Yaowang, while Jiang Zhe didn’t have to do anything at all. The entire family revolved around her.
Speaking of which, hadn’t Jiang Zhe just returned to Jiang Yaowang’s side not so long ago?
How could the old man show such favoritism?
Yao Xiangzhi asked a question, “Does Jiang Zhe have a boyfriend?”
Upon being asked this, Ding Yuehua suddenly remembered that with so many things now attached to Jiang Zhe’s name, wouldn’t any man who was with her directly soar to the skies?
Thinking of Yao Xiangzhi’s son, who was also her nephew, Ding Yuehua said, “Doesn’t Bo’an still not have a girlfriend?”
In theory, children from families like Yao Xiangzhi’s wouldn’t have to worry about marriage matches, and Jiang Zhe’s status wouldn’t be enough for them.
But Yao Xiangzhi’s son, Chen Bo’an, had always been a wastrel and unwilling to be disciplined. His conduct was inconsistent; having graduated two years ago, he spent his days indulging in pleasures, his eyes blinded by the glitzy world, and his career had not shown any sign of progress.
Thinking about this son, Yao Xiangzhi was very worried about the future.
If the son continued like this, he would never be able to choose from families that matched their status.
Jiang Zhe really was a ready-made opportunity, young and easily controlled, with many assets and the backing of a big shot like Jiang Yaowang.
Even if Chen Bo’an continued to be irresponsible, with this inheritance, he could live without worry for the rest of his life.
“Yes, Bo’an still doesn’t have a girlfriend,” Yao Xiangzhi thought more and more that it was feasible, and whispered, “Do you think Jiang Zhe would be very suitable…?”
Ding Yuehua had indeed briefly considered the idea of marrying Jiang Zhe off to her nephew, which wouldn’t be a loss for her either.
However, thinking of Jiang Zhe’s cold demeanor and Jiang Yaowang’s affection for her, she became uncertain again, “Well, she’s still too young, it’s probably not appropriate to talk about this now.”
“Yuehua, it’s precisely because she’s young that it’s the right time to talk about it. Once she grows up and has more of her own ideas, we might not have the chance,” Yao Xiangzhi countered.
Ding Yuehua was still hesitant, it was one thing to offend Jiang Zhe, but offending Jiang Yaowang was no small matter.
“Here’s an idea, Yuehua, you can invite Jiang Zhe out to eat, let her meet Bo’an first, and we can talk it over after they meet. What if they like each other?”
Although Ding Yuehua still had many reservations, what Yao Xiangzhi suggested was indeed very tempting.
She steeled her resolve, “Then let’s start with Jiang Zhe herself, invite her over for a meal.”
With her mind made up, Ding Yuehua made a decision.
Jiang Zhe had come to Beijing and had gone out after mentioning it to Jiang Yaowang because she had some things to handle.
Knowing she had been to Beijing numerous times, neither Jiang Yaowang nor Jiang Xiruo worried about her going out alone.
Xia Enci rested her chin on her hands and said, “A friend of mine also invited me out, Mom, I’ll be going out in a bit.”
“You should be careful, Beijing is big, and there are people everywhere…”
“Alright, I know already,” Xia Enci lamented, feeling that her own fate was really different from Jiang Zhe’s—was it necessary to make such a fuss over just going out?
Jiang Zhe was on her way to deliver design samples for Xun Yining to Cheng Lu.
Usually, they would use courier services.
Since the New Year was approaching and Cheng Lu needed them urgently, Jiang Zhe had brought Xun Yining’s sample garments from Jincheng.
In front of Jiang Zhe, Cheng Lu immediately took out Xun Yining’s sample garments.
The proportionally scaled-down clothes, which were very cute in hand, clearly had a strong sense of design.
“Xiaozhe, all these garments are new designs by Yining. Do you think he’s going to take these to the final of the fashion design competition?” Cheng Lu asked.
“You’ll have to ask him,” Jiang Zhe replied, “I’m just helping to deliver something along the way; I haven’t really dealt with anything else.”
“Alright, I’ll ask him later. If he’s planning to compete with them, I’m certain these pieces will win an award. At that point, I must arrange the production line ahead of time, produce more, and just wait for him to win an award, then my clothing line can go to market in conjunction,” Cheng Lu said.
Cheng Lu was very professional and forward-thinking in her approach to work and had already considered many possibilities.
Her cooperation with Xun Yining was also a long-term and sincere plan.
Listening to her talk like that, Jiang Zhe just listened casually without contributing to the conversation.
It was only when she saw an incoming call on her phone that Jiang Zhe apologized and picked up the call.
The call was from Ding Yuehua, and upon hearing her voice, Jiang Zhe’s expression was exceedingly indifferent.
On the phone, Ding Yuehua’s tone was very amiable, “Xiaozhe, Xuexue wants to ask you out shopping, to buy you a couple of outfits for the New Year. Why don’t you come out for a bit?”
