Chapter 444: Chapter 444 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 59_1

"Forget it, my brother is definitely very angry at you," Liao Jun was a petty person, and Liao Kai could tell that this breach was definitely irreparable.

"Unless he can marry a young and beautiful wife." But the likelihood of that was basically zero.

If Liao Jun had even the slightest chance, he wouldn’t still be single now.

Remarry a young and beautiful wife? Zhao Wenjin laughed scornfully, "A petty chef, with a son who’s a delinquent, four old houses to their name, and three children to split them among."

"His job is mediocre, and your parents’ reputation is ruined; who would want to marry him?"

"He looks down on people from out of town too." Remembering Zhang Zhaodi’s biggest complaint about Xie Haiqing, it was that he was a foreigner.

Even college graduates are beneath his notice, so who could the new wife Liao Jun finds possibly be of that level?

"Maybe he wants to start his own business," Liao Kai had learned something from the tidbits Zhang Zhaodi had let slip this time.

That was Liao Jun’s plan to open his own restaurant, "She mentioned it in passing, as if it was said unintentionally."

Unintentionally? Zhao Wenjin never believed that Zhang Zhaodi really let it slip by accident, "What was your reaction?"

"I acted as if I didn’t hear a thing. Starting a business takes a lot of money, and even if I wanted to help out, I don’t have the money."

He still wanted to buy a gift for Liao Jiayu; the child had already grown so much, and he had never given her a proper present.

"Besides, he has already planned to start a business; you can’t just jump into it unprepared." Liao Kai admitted Liao Jun’s cooking skills were up to par, but opening a restaurant was more than just being a good chef.

"That son of his, honestly." Liao Kai really didn’t have high hopes for Liao Jun’s restaurant venture, putting aside Liao Jun’s culinary skills for the moment.

Just because of a delinquent son, many people would have reservations.

Would Liao Bin, knowing that Liao Jia had opened a restaurant, not harbor thoughts and scheme a little?

"That’s your brother’s problem."

"Right, if mom asks about the lease for our shop space, just tell her it’s been signed to a long-term tenant."

I just worry that without contributing anything, Zhang Zhaodi and the others might set their sights on our property.

"That shouldn’t happen." Liao Kai felt Liao Jun probably didn’t want to start a business here either.

"My brother is someone who cares a lot about face, and our neighbors here already have a slight understanding of the Liao family’s background."

Even if Zhang Zhaodi had those intentions, Liao Jun would not agree.

"When I came back, I saw Liao Xuan with Xie Haiqing." Liao Kai also didn’t know whether Zhang Zhaodi’s family was aware and could only vent to Zhao Wenjin.

Liao Xuan and Xie Haiqing were together again? Zhao Wenjin remembered the breakup had been a sensation, very unpleasant indeed.

"How... How could they be together?"

"Didn’t he say he had a girlfriend over the New Year? One with a good family background, they were probably getting married soon?" Zhao Wenjin was really worried Liao Xuan might impulsively get involved with a married man like Xie Haiqing again.

If that was indeed the case, it would be an utter disgrace; a cousin becoming a delinquent and an aunt becoming a mistress.

Just the thought of it was enough to give her a headache.

Liao Kai was also concerned about this, "I’ll go inquire about it tomorrow." Indeed, none seemed to be a straightforward character.

It would be good to make some inquiries, "Will you tell mom about it?"

He was truly worried that if he discussed it with Zhang Zhaodi, it might not be Liao Xuan who ended up in a bad situation, but certainly him.

To tell the family or not? "I hadn’t thought about it; I just want to know what’s going on."

"We can’t be completely in the dark."

"In case something suddenly comes up, we’d really be clueless."

They agreed; they weren’t eyeing the Liao family’s wealth, but they needed to be prepared in case anyone planned to take advantage of them.

As the couple discussed matters at home, Liao Jun and Liao Xuan arrived one after the other. Zhang Zhaodi looked at Liao Xuan, who had been leaving early and returning late every day, and was far from satisfied.

"Such a big event has happened in the family, and you act as if you’re unaware," she grumbled, reminded of her eldest grandson locked up inside.

"Who told him to have crooked intentions?" Liao Xuan retorted, "I told you to discipline him properly, but you wouldn’t listen."

"And now, look what he’s capable of doing."

"As for me, your daughter, I might as well never get married in this lifetime," Liao Xuan said resentfully.

"And don’t expect me to go pulling strings for him." Not to mention she didn’t have such connections, even if she did, she wouldn’t use them on Liao Bin’s behalf.

Liao Xuan gave Liao Jun a sidelong glare; she was also very dissatisfied with this older brother of hers.

"With a father and mother like theirs, who claim to know this person and that person, shouldn’t they be the ones to step up when their son is in trouble?"

"The parents act unbothered, carrying on as if nothing happened."

"What am I supposed to do as the aunt, not work and run around all day?"

"Forget it, my second brother treated him so well, even his own daughter, Liao Jiayu, didn’t have the status Liao Bin had."

"He bought so much for him, and what was the result?"

"Just because the second sister-in-law wouldn’t transfer her properties under Liao Bin’s name, he was ready to kidnap Liao Jiayu."

"To have such a ruthless nephew, forget it, I would rather die childless than to pin any hopes on such a nephew."

"Liao Bin’s mom would just offer a mild lecture and he’d push her away immediately. Whoever thinks this kid could be grateful or successful, let them bother with him."

"As for me, I definitely won’t bother," Liao Xuan glanced at Liao Jun, "And there’s my brother, always complaining about his boss picking on him, why doesn’t he just take some time off while the family is dealing with this."

"If your brother isn’t working, where will the money come from?" Zhang Zhaodi was reluctant to let Liao Jun take leave.

Liao Xuan suddenly laughed, "Oh, your precious son needs to work, needs to earn money."

"Well, I don’t need to earn money."

"If the father doesn’t worry, I’m even less likely to worry," Liao Xuan sneered at Liao Jun.

"Today, Zhao Wenjin came to see me, and I saw she was driving a new car; it must be her recent purchase."

Liao Jun said in a low voice, not believing the others wouldn’t be jealous upon hearing this.

Zhao Wenjin bought another car? The Liao family members were all stunned. Zhang Zhaodi, quite dissatisfied, said, "It was bound to happen sooner or later; she was so insistent on selling the previous car."

If the car hadn’t been sold, would things have turned out differently? Zhang Zhaodi felt that Zhao Wenjin’s situation had developed this way because of selling the car.

"But that’s not right, how come I haven’t heard my younger brother mention it?" Liao Kai had been home twice today and hadn’t mentioned it.

Especially when he came over at night, he should have known about Zhao Wenjin buying a car, but he didn’t bring it up.

"We’re out of her heart," Liao Daqiang said upon hearing Zhao Wenjin had bought another car. He was contemplating visiting his siblings by car next time.

Things had been unpleasant before, but after all, they were blood brothers and sisters; no need to blow this out of proportion.

"That car, I don’t think she will let Liao Kai drive it." Liao Xuan had seen Zhao Wenjin take Liao Kai to restaurants a few times, and they had eaten quite well.

But Liao Kai’s clothes were nothing like before, indicating that fine dining is okay, but don’t expect anything more.

Not let Liao Kai drive? Zhang Zhaodi wasn’t worried, "I am her mother-in-law, if I need the car for something, wouldn’t she take me?"

Watching Zhang Zhaodi act so entitled, Liao Xuan thought better of it, shut her mouth, and went back to her room to rest.

Zhang Zhaodi, looking at Liao Xuan walking back to her room, was very dissatisfied, "Look at your sister."

"I’m tired, I’m going back to my room to rest." Liao Jun was also displeased with Zhang Zhaodi for not accomplishing the task.

Everyone’s attitudes left Zhang Zhaodi very unhappy. Just as she was about to complain to Liao Daqiang,

Liao Daqiang turned around abruptly, "Tired, going back to my room to rest."

Watching them all behave this way, Zhang Zhaodi felt so heartbroken that she sat in the main hall and started crying.

No matter how much she cried, no one came out to comfort her, deepening the old lady’s sadness as her cries grew louder.
