Chapter 450: Chapter 450 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 65_1

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the office plummeted once more, with some finding it unbearable to watch.

How could a person be so arrogant? This was absolutely unacceptable.

"Don’t you think your behavior equates to living off your wife?" they were sure no man could brazenly admit to that.

Little did they know that if they had asked Liao Kai this question in front of so many people before, he would have been very angry.

But now he had come to a realization, "If being supported by my wife counts as living off someone, then I admit it."

Hmph, he was a man who relied on his own strength to be taken care of by his wife—what was there to be embarrassed about?

"I know you all envy me, envy that I have a wife to support me. Not everyone is blessed with such luck," Liao Kai said as he picked up the documents on the desk.

Turning to the section chief, he said, "Chief, I’m off to deliver these documents."

The section chief knew that though Liao Kai’s pretext was to deliver documents, he was actually going back to check on their house renovations. He waved his hand, indicating Liao Kai could go.

Picking up his keys, Liao Kai prepared to leave.

Seeing his demeanor, his colleagues sneered, "He really is full of himself."

"I bet he can’t even say a harsh word in front of his wife."

"Wasn’t his wife laid off?" someone recalled, "That means a big drop in income."

The others shifted their gaze to the speaker, "We rely on our salaries to get by, but he certainly doesn’t rely on that."

"I know, it’s the rental income," said the person with an ’I-know-it-all’ expression.

"You really don’t get it. Liao Kai’s wife is an incredible painter. She used to do illustrations. Just painting a dozen or so pictures can match a month’s income."

"His wife can paint?" This person had seen Zhao Wenjin and really hadn’t noticed it.

"She learned when she was young, and you should know her teacher." They named the teacher, and the listener looked surprised.

"It’s amazing that Liao Kai has such good luck."

"No wonder he listens to his wife and lives off her." He wished he could too, but unfortunately, he hadn’t stumbled upon such an opportunity.

Although no one spoke aloud, that’s what they were all thinking privately.

"No wonder his wife voluntarily asked to be laid off." The person sighed.

"Otherwise, how could they afford both a new car and house renovations?" someone lamented.

No matter how hard they struggled in life, they could hardly catch up to the wealth of Zhao Wenjin’s family.

"Right, I remember Liao Kai only has a daughter, right?" someone suddenly said.

"Yes, just a daughter. Those with sons at home might consider the possibility," joked someone.

As soon as this was said, many people expressed that they still expected their own children to work hard without handouts.

What they truly thought, only they themselves knew.

Liao Kai had no idea that after he left, the office crowd started to ponder over this matter.

It wasn’t that they were worldly; it was just that if there was an opportunity to save thirty years of struggle, that kind of treat was certainly not to be missed.

But there was no hurry; at least one had to have the proper decorum and take things one step at a time.

Especially since Liao Kai’s wife was said to be a fiesty one, not even caring what her in-laws thought. If their daughter was anything like her...

The people present thought it over for a moment and felt that this matter needed careful consideration, so they decided to wait until the child was a bit older before making a final determination based on the circumstances.

After delivering the materials, Liao Kai drove back home to check on the renovation progress and then headed to the building materials market to purchase some auxiliary supplies.

As for the main materials, Zhao Wenjin had previously ordered everything. Liao Kai bought the necessary auxiliary supplies he needed and then drove back home.

Looking at the messy home, Liao Kai felt quite pleased. After his relentless efforts, he had finally managed to secure a study for himself. Although it was not very spacious, it was at least his own little sanctuary, a little place he had never dared to dream of before.

And it was all designed and renovated according to his ideas, even though he had never been through this before, it did not prevent him from having seen Zhao Wenjin design her study.

He had already figured out how he wanted to design it, which would be similar to Zhao Wenjin’s study layout, just that his room was a little smaller.

Then, he wanted to buy many books and read whenever he had the time, as learning more would benefit his future.

Although the performance of his current unit was still acceptable, no one knew what the future would bring.

He needed to read more and then strive to pass the upcoming exams smoothly.

After obtaining several certifications, he could switch to a different workplace. He couldn’t keep being tagged with the label of being a freeloader forever.

Liao Kai was pondering what the future would hold. Zhao Wenjin had already found her developmental path, which was to become a successful illustrator while also exploring new picture books.

Especially since the income was quite decent, Liao Kai knew that catching up to Zhao Wenjin was unlikely, but he could try to narrow the gap.

Liao Kai was busy all the time and had neither the time nor the mood to worry about the Liao family’s matters.

As for Liao Xuan’s wedding, he would just attend when the time came; as to what the wedding would be like, he did not care.

He might not be concerned, but Zhang Zhaodi came to look for him at his workplace, and it was after working hours.

"Why do you look unhappy to see me?" Zhang Zhaodi, seeing Liao Kai with a sullen face, also unhappily said.

"I’m not unhappy, just find it strange." After letting Zhang Zhaodi get into the car, Liao Kai did not ask where she wanted to go and just drove towards his home.

Zhang Zhaodi sat in the car, incessantly praising, "A new car is really nice, and just in time, your sister doesn’t have a wedding car."

"I’m not lending it," Liao Kai said decisively. "My wife made me promise again and again before she left."

"They work for foreign enterprises, don’t they? If they can’t borrow a car, they can always rent one," Liao Kai knew that being firm was the only way to deal with them.

"But you know their financial situation," Zhang Zhaodi couldn’t dare to be tough with Liao Kai, knowing this son could be ruthless now.

"Whatever amount of money they have, that’s what they should plan for. They want face, that’s their business, not mine."

"Your sister is going through a major event in her life," Zhang Zhaodi retorted angrily.

"She might divorce one day, didn’t Liao Jun divorce?" Liao Kai countered. "They had split up over money before."

"Divorcing over money isn’t impossible either," Liao Kai was indifferent.

"Mom, stop making a fuss. You’ve already made a mess of Liao Jun’s marriage," he said.

"I’m doing well now, so don’t come and cause trouble," Liao Kai was genuinely concerned that Zhang Zhaodi might come and ruin his good days.

"But she’s your sister." Zhang Zhaodi thought about Liao Xuan, who had been causing a commotion at home these days over the wedding, and felt overwhelmed.

"Your uncle and the others won’t come to the wedding, and the Xie Family won’t send anyone either," Zhang Zhaodi knew the Xie Family was poor and would only send a few representatives.

She hadn’t expected that even Xie Haiqing’s parents wouldn’t come, which infuriated her to no end.

Sitting in the car, she kept complaining about how clueless the Xie Family was, "Their son is getting married, and it’s the eldest son at that, they do not need to prepare anything, yet they don’t even attend their son’s wedding."

"I have never seen such parents."
