At this point, she flattering smiled and said:
“Charlie, we are after all a family, there are only some unclear misunderstanding, as long as we breathe, we are still a family of love, you are my grandson-in-law, Claire is my granddaughter, Jacob and Elaine are my son and daughter-in-law, we are actually the closest relatives!”
At this time, her face was full of smiles, and her tone was somewhat subdued: “You see, grandmother has also made amends and apologized.”
“It’s time for our two families to reconcile, and it’s your birthday today, so on this happy day, the two families can get together for a meal and completely resolve their differences, don’t you think?”
After listening to her words, Charlie said with a cold smile on his face,
“There is no need to settle the past, I don’t want to have anything more to do with you. My family is also the same, so you should not be playing this wishful thinking.”
Saying that he in order to completely put an end to the old lady’s thoughts, and serious warning:
“Today’s matter, as well as the matter of me giving Shangmei etiquette company to Wendy to take care, if you dare to reveal it to Claire, or my parents-in-law, then sorry, I will take it all back!”
When Mrs. Willson heard these words, her heart thumped.
She knew that Charlie had sensed her intentions.
To the old lady, after she learned that Charlie was the one who was valuable to Wendy. Then realized that not only does he seem to have a failure, but even his ability and influence are far above her previous perception, after realizing this.
The old lady’s heart began to think about taking the opportunity to repair relations with him and his family.
In this way, the benefits that can be obtained in the future will certainly be much more than now.
But she did not expect that this point in her mind. Charlie not only rejected her, but also blocked her chances to find other family members to save the country.
At this moment, she was inwardly dying of a million regrets: “Hey! If I had known that Charlie could be so capable, why did I have to keep targeting him, keep targeting the family of four?”
“Now I have offended all of their family, it seems that there is little chance to further repair the relationship in the future ……”
Charlie saw that Mrs. Willson had a strange expression and did not say a word, so he questioned, “What I just said, do you understand?”
“Heard and understood ……” Mrs. Willson how dared to disobey Charlie, after all, Wendy’s current job was the survival guarantee for her family of four, if she offended him, there was absolutely no good end.
So, she had to nod resentfully and said, “Okay …… I know ……”
Charlie nodded in satisfaction and spoke, “Just know, remember what I just said. In the future, well water does not offend river water!”
After saying that, he looked at Wendy again and said, “You take her back.”
Wendy nodded gently and said in a good manner, “Okay brother-in-law, I’ll take her back.”
Then, she held Mrs. Willson and spoke, “Grandma, let’s go home.”
Mrs. Willson was like a defeated rooster. Lightly nodded her head.
When Charlie saw this, he directly closed the courtyard door and stepped back to the villa.
Outside the door, Mrs. Willson just turned to go, she saw the Hermes bag Wendy was carrying in her hand, the bag was not big, and there was a Hermes box inside.
So, she subconsciously asked: “Wendy, how come you still bought Hermes things? Our family’s current economic situation, cannot afford such luxury goods ah!”
Wendy immediately said in some panic: “Ah, this …… grandmother …… this is what I bought for someone else, you just leave it …… “
“Bought for someone else?!” Mrs. Willson said angrily:
“Now the whole family is saving money, I still hope that your father and your brother get better soon, can go out to work to subsidize the family, but you are good, just earn some money, and start to buy luxury goods to give away?”
“Are we the kind of family that can give away Hermes at the drop of a hat?”
She reached over and grabbed the bag, pulled out a small ticket, and exclaimed,
“Oh my God! A belt nearly 10,000 yuan?! Are you crazy? You can barely eat, and you’re still here to poorly burn the bag, hurry up and return it!”
Wendy didn’t expect that the belt she wanted to buy to give to Charlie has angered her grandmother.
As soon as she saw this temper of her grandmother who wanted to control and decide everything, she also got angry and said offhandedly,
“Every penny I spend now is my own hard-earned money, what I want to buy is my freedom, you have no right to interfere!”
“What?! I have no right to interfere?!” Mrs. Willson had just eaten at Charlie’s place and was disliked back by him, so she was very depressed in her heart, and seeing that even Wendy dared to talk back to her, it immediately ignited her fire.
Then, she stopped in her tracks and angrily rebuked: “You must not forget that I have always been the head of this family, before, now, and in the future!”
“The family is now the most difficult time, every penny, must be spent on the edge of the knife! If you are so extravagant and wasteful, you are putting the life and death of our family at risk!”
Wendy was aggrieved and said angrily, “You used to be in charge of everything because you were in charge of everything in the family, but everything in the family is lost in your hands!”
“Now everything is back to zero, starting with nothing, for my hard-earned money, why would I want you to be in charge?”
Wendy became angrier, her voice also raised a few points, and she said,
“From now on, I will be the one to decide my affairs!”
“As for the money I earn, I will take out a portion of it for your living expenses, as well as the expenses for father and brother’s rehabilitation, and every penny of the rest will be at my own disposal, you have no right to interfere!”
Mrs. Willson was furious and accused through clenched teeth, “You’re really wrong! Are you going to follow the example of that heartless Claire and turn your back on me?”
Wendy said with tears in her eyes, “There’s nothing wrong with following my sister Claire’s example.
She said in a very strong tone: “I have said what I should say, if you are willing to accept, then according to what I said, I will give you monthly living expenses, the rest you do not care, you have no right to care.”
“If you do not accept, then I will go out tomorrow to rent a room to live, I can not sleep in the company, the company’s general manager office area is very large, I will set a bed! It’s not a problem at all!”
Mrs. Willson, seeing Wendy’s determined attitude, panicked and said,
“Ai Wendy, what are you talking about …… we have come a long way as a family of four, we have suffered all sorts of hardships and seen all sorts of waves, how can we just break up?”
The company’s main goal is to provide a good solution to the problem.
Wendy immediately said, “Good! Then it’s a deal!”
Mrs. Willson was busy saying, “Okay, okay, it’s a deal, it’s a deal!”
After saying that, she smiled and asked, “Right Wendy, how much do you give me for living expenses in a month? You said that I am old, I must often eat good food to replenish my body, the food standard must be a little more.”
“How about this, you give me six thousand a month, this is even if I and your father and your brother’s living expenses.”
“In addition, you give me an additional two thousand as your father and your brother’s rehabilitation costs, a total of eight thousand per month, what do you think?”
Wendy was naturally clear that a month, three people, and eight thousand for living expenses, this standard was really a bit too high.
However, she did not bother to argue more with Mrs. Willson, after all, as long as she could make this old woman willingly give up the idea of controlling her, this was already a huge victory.
As for the eight thousand, although it is a little more, but now the company income is very good, her own monthly income to hand is more than 10,000.
Moreover, the company’s development is good, the profits are naturally high, after each quarter after the company’s tax return, there is a small part of the net profit of her own commission, so that the calculation, how to say a year can also get three or four hundred thousand, or even more.
So, giving the old lady eight thousand a month is not a big burden.
What’s more, dad and brother will be able to recover in a month or two, and they will be able to find a job to subsidize the family, which will reduce the pressure on her.
So, Wendy nodded and said: “8,000 is 8,000, but you remember your promise not to interfere with my life and my freedom!”
“In addition, after my father and my brother can work, I will only pay 3,000 a month to the family! If you don’t agree, I’ll move out!”
Mrs. Willson promised in a loud voice, “Okay, grandma will definitely not interfere with your freedom in the future!”
Wendy took the Hermes belt back from her hand and looked at it in her hand for half a day.
She originally wanted to quietly put it in the mailbox of Charlie’s house and then tell him on WeChat.
But, grandma is around now, and she didn’t want to do this in front of her.
Moreover, just now, Charlie’s attitude did make her realize how distant he felt from herself and her family.
Thinking, Charlie should just help her in passing, but at the same time keep a distance of well water from her at all times in his heart.
In this case, she took the chance to send him a birthday gift, it will be a coincidence and make him resentful.
Thinking of this, she sighed quietly and said to Mrs. Willson, “All right, Grandma, let’s go home.”
Mrs. Willson nodded resentfully and followed behind Wendy, walking towards her villa while sighing and complaining,
“Wendy, it’s not that grandma is talking about you, why didn’t you tell me earlier about Charlie helping you? If you told grandma earlier, I wouldn’t have to run to touch this nail ……”
Wendy walked in front, looking at the Hermes belt in her hand, said distractedly, “Brother-in-law won’t let me tell anyone.”
“Ai ……” Mrs. Willson sighed and sighed: “This Charlie heart, everywhere wary of us ah …… “
Wendy heard these words, the heart is even more difficult, so the bottom of the feet quickly walked two steps, first back to the villa where the family lives.
Mrs. Willson trotted all the way up to catch up, the two came to the upstairs bedroom, lying in bed Noah and Harold have long been a little impatient, Harold with a look of expectation asked Mrs. Willson: “Grandma, did you see Charlie?”
Mrs. Willson said with a despondent look, “I have ……”
Harold was busy asking, “Then what does he say? Is this guy really about to burst into flames?”
Mrs. Willson lamented, “What bursting into flames? Really whimsical, Charlie is impossible to falter ……”
“Why ah grandmother?” Harold was amazed, hurriedly said:
“This is not all your analysis? Say what a leaf to know the autumn, also said what before the door to the market, and what now the door can be a sparrow, etc, how now say I whimsical?”
Mrs. Willson said in exasperation, “What’s wrong with me saying a few words? It’s not a crime to speak such things!”
Noah said in a roundabout way, “Mom, don’t be so mean to Harold, he grew up naughty and didn’t read much.
After saying that, seeing that Mrs. Willson’s expression had eased a few points, he hurriedly asked, “Mom, you can tell us. Charlie that son of a b!tch why it is impossible for him to fail?”
Mrs. Willson sighed and said quietly,
“In the end, I was wrong in my estimation, this kid really has some ability, before Wendy has not told us, the person that helped her a lot, who gave the Shangmei etiquette company to her management, is Charlie!”
When Noah and Harold heard this, the father and son duo both lay on the bed and froze for more than a minute.
Harold still had some disbelief, he opened his mouth and asked, “Grandma …… you shouldn’t be joking with me and teasing me, right?”
“I do hope it’s a joke!” Mrs. Willson resentfully said, “I never dreamed that the noble person of Wendy would be him, if I could choose, I would rather choose a dead person than him ah.”
Harold was full of doubts: “But …… but why would he help Wendy? It is reasonable to say that he has a grudge against us, and can’t wait to see us go to ruin, so how can he help us?”
Wendy spoke: “Brother, you should not take the heart of a gentleman, brother-in-law did have a grudge against us before.”
“But that’s because we’ve been looking for trouble with him and his family time and time again, but brother-in-law has never taken the initiative to find fault with us!”
Harold depressed said: “To find trouble for them, but also because they are always against us, other than to say, Claire.”
“Grandmother had long asked her to divorce Charlie, but she just did not listen, and then suffered some grievances, left the Willson Group to set up her own business.”
“She was not filial, they never agreed to move grandmother to their villa, they did not agree. They even put Grandma in the prison!”
Wendy’s tone was stern as she rebuked, “How come you still haven’t figured it out yet? Don’t you realize that we were wrong all along?”
“Since Sister Claire was not willing to divorce Charlie, who were we to force her? Freedom of marriage, freedom of love, this is what the state has been saying for years, why can’t we respect her choice?”
“There is also the matter of her setting up her own business, why did she want to set up her own business in the first place, don’t you still have a clear idea in your heart?”
“She took the initiative and got the contract from the Empire Group, so by rights Grandma should have kept her promise and given her the position of director, but what did you do? You said bad things about her in front of Grandma.”
“You slandered her for having an affair, and finally fooled Grandma into giving you the position of director, that alone broke Sister Claire’s heart.
Harold’s face was red and black, he wanted to refute something, but he couldn’t find a point to refute, so he said,
“Let’s forget about this matter, let’s say they moved to a new villa, a family of 4 live in such a big villa, shouldn’t they invite grandmother over to enjoy the blessings?”
“On what grounds?” Wendy said,
“To be honest, grandmother has never treated the family well, never given them any benefits, just, every now and then will give them some discomfort, and even kicked them out of the house.”
“Why would they invite her to their villa? If you were in their shoes, would you do that?”
Although Mrs. Willson was very upset in her heart, she couldn’t refute directly, after all, Wendy was the pillar of the family, and she had almost flipped with her just now.
So she didn’t dare to confront her now, so she just sat on the side like an aggravated bag and didn’t say anything.
Harold was unable to refute Wendy, said red-faced: “Then our mother’s revenge is always understood, right? He sent our mother to the black coal kiln, this thing you can forgive him?
Wendy rhetorically asked, “Then you tell us why Charlie sent our mother to the black coal kiln?”
Harold was speechless.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart.
In the beginning, this matter was ultimately because Mom and Dad had ill intentions towards Charlie’s family, and they had joined forces with others to set a trap for Elaine, but they just didn’t expect to be cracked by Charlie.
So, in the end, Mom’s matter is also considered to be to blame, how to wash their own ground is meaningless.
Wendy said: “Brother, you are almost 30 years old, don’t look at things like a child now, you have to know right from wrong and recognize reality!”
Wendy said with a bit of sorrow: “Our family has long been different from the past, and now this situation.”
“When you and Dad recover, you both must go out to find a job to support the family, if you are still so immature, still lack of sense of right and wrong, how will you stand in the society?”
“You also need to start a family in the future, also need to establish a career, also need to have children to pass on the family! You can’t be as confused as you are now, right?”
Wendy’s words directly hit the biggest pain deep inside Harold’s heart.
He also knew very well that he had always been just a straw man. He couldn’t do anything, and he didn’t have enough to eat.
In the past, with the halo of the Willson family above his head, he was considered to have no worries about food and drink, and could barely be considered a rich second generation.
But now, everything has gone to zero.
In the future, he does not have any aura to rely on, and there is no mountain to sit on, if he continues to muddle along, it is likely to be the same as those 40 or 50-year-old street yo-yo who can not find a date, wasting their lives.
He suddenly remembered a movie called Mr. Tree, in which there is a role, seems like some magic realism, but in real life. You can often see such people, and you can even say that there are such people everywhere.
Poor, pathetic, and hopeless.
Thinking of this. Harold’s heart suddenly felt very hard, he realized at this time, he simply can not see where his future is, his own future is so bleak.
He thought desperately in his heart, “My sister now, with the help of Charlie, is considered to have a career, and also a career with a bright future ……”
“But what about me?”
“Willson’s group is no more, when I recover, what can I do?”
“I also have not learned any professional skills, no skills, and also never looked for a job outside, not even a good resume, how can I find a job in the future? What kind of job can I find?”
“Will I just be eliminated from society?
“And I’m so old, I don’t even have a girlfriend, and now my family is not doing well, if I can’t even find a decent job, how can I find a date?”
“To really have been bachelor, to 40 years old when this life has no chance to turn over ……”
The more Harold thought, the more desperate, desperate to the extreme, he could not control, so he whimpered and cried. While crying, he choked and said, “What can I do in the future I ……”
Noah, who saw Harold’s appearance, could not help but sigh and said,
“Okay, let’s not talk about this, your mother was really our fault in the first place, we let Elaine lose so much money at the gambling table, if the matter really went to the police.”
“The amount of money involved is enough for your mother and me to go to jail, so in the end, Charlie is also considered to have left us some leeway ……”
After saying that, he looked at Harold, comforted: “Son, you look like a woman in that cry.”
“After the body is well, go to a serious class, we will deliver couriers together, by delivery we can also earn a few thousand a month, as long as you are willing to suffer, hard work, we can always find a way to live!”
Harold cried and nodded.
Noah then said: “When the time comes, you save some money yourself, I will also help you save some, also let your sister help a little, to put together a few hundred thousand bride price, you will be entrusted to a daughter-in-law, no matter what, we can also give your family a backing!”
Noah’s words did not really comfort Harold.
On the contrary, what he said was too pragmatic, and suddenly made Harold full of despair about his future life.
He has always been pretentious and always feels that he will definitely become a great man in the future, and even his future wife must be a good first-class woman.
Not only must she have a top-notch look, a perfect body, but also a strong and extraordinary background.
That’s why he pursued Elsa with all his heart and wanted to become the son-in-law of the Dong family.
But now, his father’s words made him realize that he has absolutely nothing to do with a woman like Elsa in the future.
Afraid that his future self can only be a blue-collar worker who makes money by doing coolie’s work, and he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to find a favorite object, and may even rely on a high gift to marry a wife home.
Following this blueprint to conceive of his future, Harold felt that his future was simply bleak, just like falling into a black hole.
As a result, he cried more fiercely.
When he cried like this, Noah felt very painful in his heart.
He wanted to help his son, but he knew very well that his future would not be much easier than his son.
The only good thing is that he has at least been married and has a pair of children, and if Harold doesn’t work hard, he may not even get married in the future.
As a result, he couldn’t help but sigh, and his whole person was much more decadent.
Wendy felt the extreme depression of the two of them, rubbed her temples, and said, “I am going to the kitchen to cook.”
After that, she fled and walked out of the bedroom quickly.
Originally, she wanted to find a chance to put the belt bought for Charlie in the mailbox at the door of his house, but when she thought of her current downturn, she couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of inferiority in her heart.
After thinking about it, she still decided to go to the store tomorrow to return the belt, and from now on, she will work hard to make money.
…
At the same time, Charlie returned to the living room of the villa, and his wife and father-in-law were still busy in the kitchen.
Mrs. Willson was making noise at the gate of the courtyard just now, and they didn’t hear any sound at all, which made Charlie breathe a sigh of relief.
However, with today’s appearance, Mrs. Willson, Noah, and Harold will definitely disappear completely in the future.
In this family, Wendy can be regarded as knowing a mistake and can correct it, and Charlie helped her with a small effort, which is also regarded as benevolent.
As for the remaining three people in the Willson family, Charlie didn’t want to talk to them at all, as long as they didn’t make trouble, it didn’t matter whether they were alive or dead.
In half an afternoon, Claire and her parents cooked a large table of sumptuous delicacies.
When Claire and Charlie went to the restaurant, a total of twelve dishes of all kinds were placed on the dinner table.
Charlie really didn’t expect that the three of them would cook so many dishes. He was surprised and said,
“Claire, Dad, Mom. There are only four of us. Is it not too wasteful to cook so many dishes? It’s so hard to cook so many dishes.”
Claire wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile: “The food is too much, but it doesn’t appear to be too much when you eat it, and it’s all for your birthday dinner. Naturally, it should be a little grander, and there is no talk at all of the hard work.”
Jacob said with a smile, “Charlie, let’s have a drink?”
Charlie nodded and said, “Of course I have to accompany you for a couple of drinks. I’ll go to the storage room to get wine.”
Elaine hurriedly said: “Charlie, bring a bottle of red wine, by the way, Claire and I will also accompany you to drink some.”
“Okay.” Charlie agreed and asked Claire: “Wife. Can you drink?”
Claire nodded and said with a smile: “I can’t drink though I want to drink, if we both drink, we won’t be able to drive when we have to go to the concert.”
Charlie said, “It’s okay, I have a way to metabolize all the alcohol in a short time.”
Claire smiled helplessly: “Just blow it up and metabolize the alcohol. You know that it takes more than ten hours to metabolize alcohol. Drinking and not driving is a matter of principle. You can’t just use it just because you drink well. Try it out.”
Charlie can actually metabolize all the alcohol with aura, but he also knows that his wife won’t believe in him, since that’s the case, he doesn’t need to explain too much.
So he smiled and said: “It’s the wife who is right. Drinking and not driving. Let’s drink first. When we go to the concert, we will use our mobile phone to call for a car.”
“It’s almost the same!” Claire smiled: “It’s okay if you don’t drive today. Sara’s concert will have at least tens of thousands of people.”
“By that time, the entire venue will definitely be very troublesome to park. We might as well take a taxi and wait for the concert to end.”
“After that, we can walk back. From the stadium to our house, it will take about 30 to 40 minutes to walk back. Just take a walk?”
Charlie nodded and smiled: “Okay, I listen to you.”
Jacob hurriedly said with a cheeky smile at this time: “Oh my son-in-law, when you go down and remember to get two bottles of good Moutai, I have been greedy for those Moutai for many days!”
Charlie smiled and said, “Okay, let’s take the best Moutai!”
Elaine hurriedly said: “Charlie, the best Moutai in our house is hundreds of thousands of bottles. Jacob drinking it is too wasteful. Or you can take the best Moutai and drink it by yourself, and then just give him a bottle of the normal one.”
Jacob immediately protested with depression: “Elaine, what do you mean by this? It’s all stuff that enters the stomach. Whose stomach is not a stomach, and why is it wasteful to enter my stomach?”
Elaine curled her lips and said: “Go, go to the bathroom and take a good look in the mirror! Take a good look at your old face!”
“A face like like, it’s worth drinking hundreds of thousands worth bottles of Maotai? How many do you drink? When this news spreads, the Moutai stock will immediately drop to a limit tomorrow morning!”
“You…” Jacob just waved his hand anxiously, jumped on the spot twice, and said angrily: “Your broken mouth is too bad! You are mad at me!”
Elaine said seriously: “I didn’t hurt you. I’m telling the truth. People say that a good horse can be equipped with a saddle. At best, you are a squeezed donkey.”
“You can’t even match a saddle. At best, you will put on a donkey cover. ! So don’t drink such expensive Moutai, go to the supermarket at the door and buy a bottle of Erguotou for not more than ten yuan, which is totally worthy of you!”
Jacob clutched his heart, and said to Charlie and Claire, “Have you seen it, today is Charlie’s birthday, but your mother is going to make me mad! Charlie’s birthday will be my death day. My son-in-law, I’m sorry, Dad added a block to you!”
Claire was helpless, and said: “Oh, mom, you can say a few words, you use a set of hundreds of thousands of skincare products, Dad didn’t say anything? Why are you always nagging him?”
Jacob’s eyes lit up and he blurted out excitedly: “Yeah! Elaine! You said my old face is not worth drinking expensive Moutai, then is your old face worthy of hundreds of thousands worth of skincare products? Don’t you forget, we are a couple!”
“If you say that is half a catty to a couple, if I, Jacob, am a donkey, then you Elaine are the mule of the camel, who is better than the other?”
Elaine felt extremely humiliated, and yelled in anger, “Fcuk your mother’s old mule! Just like yours is also worthy of comparison with your old lady? Look at your old face, wrinkled like a ripened pumpkin, it looks like even my mother is tender, white, and smooth? You still have the face to say you’re half a catty to me?
Jacob was angry, looked at Charlie annoyed, and blurted out: “Look, I said that the skincare products you gave her so expensive are a waste. It is better to put skincare products on a dog’s face to pet it.”
“You should have listened to me in the first place, and just given her a fake, anyway, she can’t see it at all in her old hat!”
As soon as Jacob finished saying this, he regretted it instantly.
He was only excited and blurted out for a while, and then realized that he had stabbed a hornet’s nest.
Sure enough, when Elaine heard this, she stretched out her hand to tear it up with him, and cursed,
“Jacob, you ba5tard, my son-in-law gave me something. If you don’t give it, it’s fine. Make a bad idea about that, see if I don’t dig out your old face!”
Claire didn’t expect that the two of them would tear it up as they talked, and hurriedly stepped forward to block in the middle, and said helplessly:
“Oh, dad! Mom! When are you two going to have trouble? Don’t forget that today is Charlie’s birthday! The two of you are having trouble here on a happy day. Isn’t this deliberately adding to the block?”
Charlie also said at this time: “Mom, don’t be so harsh with dad. You are all a family. Don’t make trouble because of this little incident all day long.”
“You say that it is better for us to keep a close eye on our days, but you two The relationship is getting worse and worse. If this is the case, I think we should just move back to the previous dilapidated house, and the family can be more harmonious!”
As soon as Charlie said this, Elaine immediately stopped all actions and blurted out, “No! Good son-in-law, don’t! We can say anything if we have to move back to the old house. You can make a big joke. It’s…”
Charlie shook his head helplessly, and said, “In this case, please cherish our hard-won happy life with Dad and stop quarreling.”
“Okay!” Elaine said without hesitation: “No problem! Absolutely no problem! Mom listens to you, not like this old dog!”
Jacob curled his mouth, just about to rebut, Elaine glared at him, and he immediately closed his mouth with interest.
In fact, in front of Elaine, he didn’t have any serious combat effectiveness at all.
If Elaine was the iron torrent of Nazi Germany during World War II, Jacob would be a Poland at best. Under Elaine’s iron hoof, he would not be able to survive a few rounds.
Therefore, he wisely chose to shut his mouth after being scolded by an old dog Elaine, and the quarrel finally ended.
Seeing that the two finally stopped, Charlie turned around and took the elevator to the basement floor.
From the storage room, he took out two bottles of Moutai and two bottles of red wine.
Charlie’s Tibetan wine, whether it is white wine or red, is a very top brand, mainly they got it during the Chinese New Year, and they haven’t drunk it much.
Jacob had indeed coveted these for a long, long time, but each bottle of these wines was worth more than one hundred thousand, and Elaine said that she would not let him drink anything.
In order to prevent him from drinking secretly, she even made an inventory for these wines, and checked every three to five days. Although Jacob was worried, he was always guilty.
When Charlie returned with the wine, Jacob took the wine in excitement and opened the wine carefully. The sauce-scented wine scent drifted. Jacob couldn’t help sighing,
“This wine is the best wine!” Just smelling a few times makes me feel like I’m going to get up.
Elaine gave him a white look and muttered: “The 75% antiseptic alcohol smells even higher, if you don’t believe me, try it!”
“What do you know.” Jacob murmured, and quickly picked up the cup to pour wine for Charlie and himself.
Elaine also knew that saying too much about Jacob would also destroy the atmosphere, so she didn’t talk anymore, but took the red wine from Charlie’s hand and took the initiative to open it with a wine cork.
A family of four filled the wine, Claire took out the cake, and said to Charlie: “Husband, you first blow the candles and make a wish, and then let’s eat!”
Charlie smiled and nodded. This is the standard procedure for birthdays. It is like this at noon and it is still like this at night.
This is basically the same as gatherings of classmates and colleagues. No matter which city, the process of gathering is generally to eat first and then KTV.
Therefore, when Claire took out the cake from the refrigerator and lit the candles, Charlie prepared to make a wish and blew the candles.
Claire on the side also sang a happy birthday song for him. Her voice was not loud, but she was very gentle. With big eyes, she was singing out: “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you… …”
Charlie acquiesced to his wishes in Claire’s singing and blew out the candles.
Afterwards, Claire said: “My husband, close your eyes, I have a gift for you!”
Charlie nodded and closed his eyes gently.
Claire took out a gift box from behind, held it in both hands, put it in Charlie’s hand, and said with a smile: “Okay, open your eyes!”
Charlie looked down, and what was in his hand turned out to be a watch box.
A simple line of letters was written on the box, Charlie recognized at a glance, it turned out to be Patek Philippe.
He looked at Claire in surprise, and said: “Wife, why did you buy me such an expensive gift?”
Claire replied with shame: “It’s not expensive, open it and see if you like it!”
Charlie nodded and opened the package, inside which was lying quietly a Patek Philippe Nautilus watch.
At this time, Claire said softly from the side: “This Nautilus, in Patek Philippe, is considered an entry-level style.”
“After I completed the Emgrand Group’s projects and settled all the upstream and downstream payments, I will buy for you a better piece!”
Charlie hurriedly said: “My good wife, a Nautilus now has a price increase of at least half a million, right?”
“The price of the current watch is too outrageous, so don’t buy me such an expensive watch in the future. A good mechanical watch is as accurate as the time on the phone.”
Claire smiled and said, “How can it be the same? Men wear watches not to see the time. It is mainly a kind of temperament. Nowadays, men who are more careful have several watches, attending different occasions and matching different clothes.”
“I also have to choose a different watch. I don’t want my husband to be pricked when going out in the future, especially since your customers are rich people who always see that you don’t even wear a watch.”
“You definitely think that my wife is reluctant to buy it for you!”
When Charlie heard this, he couldn’t help feeling a little moved. He smiled and said, “Thank you, wife! My wife is the most considerate.”
Elaine, who was on the side, heard the tongue stunned and exclaimed: “Good Lord, just such a watch, it costs more than half a million, is its appearance that good?!”
Claire said earnestly: “Mom, this is a classic model. Not only is it expensive in China, but it’s the same all over the world.”
Elaine touched her heart and said, “This is a BMW car worn on the wrist!”
Claire smiled and said, “If you say so, there is still a luxury villa on your wrist.”
Charlie said seriously: “My wife. You just bought a watch, so don’t buy it again in the future.”
Claire smiled and said, “Whether to buy or not in the future depends on my mood and whether I can make money. Anyway, your opinion doesn’t count.”
Charlie smiled and nodded: “Well, I will listen to you.”
Claire said with satisfaction: “This is pretty much the same!”
After finishing speaking, she quickly took out the watch and said to Charlie: “I will help you wear it. From now on, you will try to wear it every day. Just don’t wear it for a few days and leave it.”
Charlie smiled and said, “My wife gave it to me, of course, I have to wear it every day!”
Claire nodded, and while looking at the watch on his wrist, she exclaimed: “It looks good! It is low-key and connotative.”
“It looks much better than the big gold watch that the elite like! Husband, don’t take it off. You will wear it when we go to the concert later!”
The family of four was full of wine and food, Jacob was already a little drunk and started to speak with a big tongue, so it looked like he had drunk too much.
Elaine and Claire are not strong, but after Elaine heard that the wine also costs 100,000 a bottle, she gritted her teeth and drank more than half of the bottle, she was so confused that she was feeling silly holding the bottle of wine.
Claire drank less, although the cheeks are a little red, but the brain is still very sober, seeing that everyone is full of food and drink, and only one hour is left before the concert, said to Charlie:
“Husband, I’ll go upstairs to change clothes, and we will go directly to the concert!”
Charlie nodded and smiled, “You go, I’ll wait for you downstairs.”
At this time, drunk Elaine, holding a red wine bottle of Lafite, lamented:
“Hey …… I really …… did not think that our family’s days could change like this… that we can live like this, drive luxury cars, live in luxury homes, use hundreds of thousands of worth set of skincare products, drink more than 100,000 worth bottles of premium red wine ……”
“Even Mrs. Willson in her most glorious time in the past did not enjoy this kind of treatment ah!”
Jacob, stimulated by alcohol, also said with some emotion, “Who …… who cannot say it? I …… my mother that old …… old villa, old, broken, and dirty, long ago not a mansion of the kind, which can be compared with this big villa …… “
Elaine rarely agrees with Jacob’s words, nodded, and said: “I tell you, Jacob, this is our family’s destiny! If I had not given you such a good daughter, can we have all of this today?”
Somewhat indignant, she said:
“When you married me into the door, your whole family looked down on me, especially your mother, in her eyes, I was married into your Willson family by virtue of my belly, mother and son, they thought I married you for a high climb ……”
Speaking here, Elaine’s eyes are a little red, said: “At that time, how much she disgusted me, how much she liked Horiyah.”
“Horiyah was different ah! She was beautiful, and would make the old lady happy, she took that daughter-in-law out to have face, unlike me, rural origin, not as beautiful as Horiyah, not dressed as fashionable as her.”
“I felt as if I have lost the face of the Willson family, so many years in your family, I do not know how many blank stares, how much anger …… “
Elaine paused, rubbed her eyes, sighed, and spoke: “But look at it now! Whether it’s your mother or your brother’s family, who has a better life than us?”
Jacob laughed awkwardly and did not say anything.
Elaine asked, “Jacob, why don’t you say anything? I asked you a question. Tell me yourself, who has a better life than us?”
