"You’re such a stubborn child, like a mule! I think you haven’t been beaten enough by society yet; you’ll regret it one day."
Du Yongi also knew her second daughter’s stubborn temper and didn’t bother to say more.
Fortunately, girls naturally have one more advantage than boys.
Even if they don’t have a job and can’t make money, there’s still the option of getting married.
"Dear passengers, we’re approaching the final station, Beijing West Station. Please gather your belongings and prepare to disembark."
"Thank you all for your support and company along the way."
As soon as Du Yongi finished speaking, the high-speed train began to slow down, soon entering the station.
The three of them traveled lightly this ti to Beijing, each carrying just a few changes of clothes.
At 5:06 PM, the train ca to a steady halt at the platform.
Xu Wencheng’s family of three followed the crowd, heading towards the exit as directed by the signs in the station.
"Grandma, Grandpa~ we’re here~"
Jiang Xue was sharp-eyed, being the first to spot her grandparents, excitedly jumping and waving at them.
"Mom, Dad~ Sasha! It was a long journey!"
"Lili! Jiang Tao."
Now when Du Yongi called Jiang Tao, her tone was more cordial and eager.
"Mom, Dad, Sasha, welco to Beijing. It must have been tiring on the road."
Jiang Tao greeted them with a smile, deciding to let bygones be bygones.
Jiang Tao showed generosity towards Xu Li’s parents and sister.
Not like in novels and dramas where after getting rich, he would constantly show off to his mother-in-law and sister-in-law. It was pointless.
Family harmony is everything.
"Sis, you’re so beautiful, so elegant!"
Not having seen her for over a month, Xu Sha looked at her sister with a face full of surprise.
Xu Li was still the sa Xu Li, yet also different.
Before, she rarely spent money and seldom dressed up.
Her entire outfit from head to toe didn’t exceed 500 yuan.
Now, the Cartier necklace Du Enan gave her alone was worth over 90,000 yuan.
To welco her parents today, she even wore the Hers New Year’s outfit Jiang Tao had bought her for over 80,000 yuan.
The boots she wore were Bulgari’s latest model, over 20,000 yuan.
Xu Li’s entire ensemble today, including the necklace, bracelet, and watch,
cost about 300,000 to 400,000 yuan in total.
The air of poverty she once projected was gone, replaced by a subtle air of nobility.
The Xu Li from before could only be considered "mature."
This Xu Li, exuding endless charm and confidence, was at her ultimate form.
Xu Wencheng and Du Yongi also gazed at Xu Li, sensing the significant changes in her.
Seeing their eldest daughter living better and better, they were genuinely happy for her.
Though Du Yongi was a bit snobbish, her nature wasn’t bad.
When Jiang Tao was poor, she looked down on him.
Now seeing Jiang Tao succeed, her attitude towards him naturally changed too.
Previously, every ti she talked about her son-in-law, she felt ashad in front of her neighbors.
Now, her son-in-law had beco her pride and a topic of conversation with neighbors!
After the group reunited and exchanged a few words, Jiang Tao led them towards the parking lot.
As they saw the square and imposing rcedes-Benz G-Class parked there,
the three mbers of Xu Wencheng’s family were stunned.
Xu Wencheng said, "Huh? Why switch to a G-Class? I rember you drove a GLS ho before the new year."
"The GLS had a minor accident and is in for repairs. This car was a gift from a friend."
Jiang Tao’s voice was gentle, but to Xu Wencheng’s family, it sounded like a thunderous roar.
Their gaze towards Jiang Tao was filled with shock, envy, and curiosity.
A car worth millions, given as a gift—what kind of friend is that!
In Ping County, buying a 130 square ters house outright costs just over a million yuan.
This is equivalent to giving away two houses for free!
The people one connects with also reflect whether they are thriving or not.
It seems their son-in-law really has made it big now!
Before, Du Yongi wished her daughter would quickly divorce Jiang Tao.
Now, she’s started worrying about them divorcing.
"When n get rich, they can change for the worse. We must remind Lili to watch Jiang Tao closely, so no one sneaks into their ho."
"Jiang Tao probably isn’t that type of person, is he?"
Du Yongi trusted Jiang Tao’s character but couldn’t help feeling worried.
"Let’s go, get in the car. I’ll take you to your place first, and I’ve reserved a welcoming dinner for tonight."
Jiang Tao beckoned them into the car and drove towards Bai Gezhuang New Village.
In the afternoon, they hit the rush hour, taking an hour and a half to return from the train station to the apartnt.
After parking downstairs, Jiang Tao and Xu Li led Xu Wencheng’s family up to see the apartnt.
"Mom, Dad, this apartnt is mine and my husband’s. Treat it like ho and make yourselves comfortable."
"The bedding, daily necessities, and utensils here were all newly bought by my parents-in-law."
"If there’s anything else you need, just let know."
Xu Li showed her parents around the apartnt after they entered.
"This is great, really great. Having such a big apartnt in Beijing is quite an achievent."
Du Yongi looked at the apartnt’s size, decor, and furnishings, praising it repeatedly.
In Beijing, it’s hard to find an apartnt for less than 3 to 5 million yuan. Houses in Ping County can’t compare at all!
