Chapter 25 – My Son Is a Phoenix Man (part 5)

Wei Yue Er didn’t notice the faint disturbance just now.
She only heard that her mother-in-law wanted to invite her to dinner.
She thought that this was her mother-in-law approving of her and she was very excited.
But, after she thought about it for a while, her mother-in-law might not have money.
So, she hesitated and said, “Bai Wei Zhai is expensive.
Why don’t we buy some vegetables and make lunch?”

When Jiang Shan heard her words, it was like he fell in love with her for the first time once again.
He couldn’t help but smile.
Yue Er’s family was wealthy.
A single bag for her cost more than 100,000 yuan.
How would Bai Wei Zhai be too expensive?

Li Su also smiled.
“Good child.
I know that you want to save money for mum, but the food I can make is not filling enough, let alone tasty enough.
As for Jiang Shan, I guess he can, at most, cook noodles or something.
You spent so much money on your mother’s behalf, so it’s only right for me to buy you a meal.”

Wei Yue Er smiled and held Li Su’s arm.
“Thank you, mum.
You are so good to me!”

Jiang Shan smiled and looked at them tenderly.
He followed them with his hands in his pockets, completely forgetting about Mei Li.

Mei Li watched the family of 3 walk away until they disappeared from her sight.
She did not leave for a long time.

When they arrived at Bai Wei Zhai, Wei Yue Er ordered some food.
She ended up ordering 5 main dishes, a soup, and some desserts.
She kept the price within 1000 yuan and quietly went to the front desk to pay 800 yuan in advance so that the desk would only charge 200 yuan when the time comes.

Li Su quietly pulled Jiang Shan aside to ask him about Mei Li.

Jiang Shan hesitated for a moment before he told her the truth.

“Mei Li is my ex-girlfriend.
If Yue Er hadn’t shown up, I might have married her.
Later, I accidentally rescued Yue Er and she fell in love with me.
The Wei family secretly found Mei Li and gave her some money.
Mei Li then took the initiative to break up with me.
We never met after.
Today is the first time we met after the break up.
Mum, there is nothing between Mei Li and I!” said Jiang Shan.

“It’s not good! If she really has you in her heart, then she won’t break up with you no matter how much money she has been given.
This shows that she is not a good person.
In the future, you should stay away from her,” said Li Su disdainfully.

“Mum, Mei Li isn’t such a person.
She is also thinking about my future.
Besides, she has a heavy burden to deal with at home.
She has a younger brother and her parents think that men are superior to women,” Jiang Shan said, defending Mei Li.

“My stupid son… Did you not see how she was dressed today? It was the same as Yue Er.
What is Yue Er’s family background and what is Mei Li’s? Can you still believe that she spent all her money on her family? If you don’t believe it, check it out yourself and see where she spent her money!” Li Su frowned.

Jiang Shan still wanted to explain, but Wei Yue Er opened the door and entered.
The mother and son changed the subject.

When they went to pay the bill after dinner, the attendant told them that it only cost 200 yuan.
Li Su and Jiang Shan were both stunned, then laughed as they saw Wei Yue Er try and pretend to be calm.
Li Su took out 200 yuan to pay the bill and then quietly said to Jiang Shan, “Look at your wife.
She is very cute!”

Jiang Shan couldn’t help but smile.
She was so silly and cute.

Afterwards, Jiang Shan went back to work at the company.
Li Su spent some time cleaning up the house.
Wei Yue Er was supposed to come and help, but Li Su persuaded her to go back.
Wei Yue Er then went home to chat with her mother.

When Wei Yue Er returned, her mother was overjoyed.
Her mother took her to sit down and then asked questions.
After listening to her daughter talk about the past few days, Mother Wei was relieved.
“That’s good.
Your father and I were worried.
We worried about Jiang Shan’s mother.
A rural woman who has never read a book and is therefore illiterate, along with being aggressive… Widowed early and guarding her son until he grows up… Her heart could have been distorted and she could have seen you in a bad light.
Your dad and I were afraid that your mother-in-law would be like this.
After hearing what you have to say about her, your mother-in-law sounds sensible, so we are relieved.”

Wei Yue Er smiled and leaned against Mother Wei.
“I also think that my mother-in-law is pretty good.
I bought some things for her yesterday and she insisted on inviting me to eat at Bai Wei Zhai.
I thought, how can I let my mother-in-law spend this kind of money? How much money does she have? But, in the end, it was mother-in-law’s good intentions, so I went to the front desk to pay eight hundred yuan in advance and let my mother-in-law pay the remaining two hundred.”

Mother Wei looked at Wei Yue Er in approval.
“Good, my daughter has a brain! You fulfilled your mother-in-law’s wishes and saved her face.
Although your mother-in-law doesn’t know it, Jiang Shan surely knows and accepts your love.”

Wei Yue Er smiled, “I am smart!”

Mother Wei nodded.
“Mm, my daughter is really smart.
If mother-in-law is here, we should invite her to dinner.
Your dad is busy with his business recently, so he won’t have free time for a while.
Go back and talk to your mother-in-law.
We will wait until this busy period is over, then we will invite her over.”

“Okay, I know.
By the way, mum, do you still have the bird’s nest1 at home? I will bring some back for my mother-in-law, along with a few of your cosmetics and other small items.
I can give mother-in-law a set.
And maybe the clothes you don’t wear.
No, wait, there’s no need.
My mother-in-law is thinner than you,” Wei Yue Er said as she stood up.

Mother Wei didn’t know what to think upon hearing her daughter’s words.
“This is really selfless to a fault! Either you won’t return, or if you do, you’ll just move to your in-laws as soon as you do.” Even though she complained about her daughter, Mother Wei watched Wei Yue Er with a smile.

A while later, Li Su looked at Wei Yue Er with a similar expression as she watched Wei Yue Er carrying a lot of things.
Wei Yue Er said, “Mum, I didn’t buy this.
These have all been gifted by others.
By the way, mum, my mum said that dad is busy with his business recently and does not have the time to entertain you.
We will ask you to come over when the busy period is over.”

“Work is important.
By the way, will Jiang Shan be coming back for dinner tonight?” Li Su asked.

Wei Yue Er shook her head.
“I just called him and he said he has to work overtime.
Let me accompany you out for dinner.”

Li Su thought about it for a while.
“Why don’t we buy something and go to the company to have dinner with him?”

Wei Yue Er nodded.
“Okay!”

Wei Yue Er and Li Su went to Bai Wei Zhai to take away a few dishes Jiang Shan liked.
Just as they were about to leave, Li Su stopped her and said, “Isn’t your dad also busy at the company? Did you pack a few dishes for your dad?”

Wei Yue Er was shocked and smiled awkwardly.
“Mum is right.” Then, she quickly packed a few dishes her father liked.
They went to the company together.

When they arrived, Wei Yue Er put the meal she packed for her dad at the front desk.
“This is a meal for my dad.
Find someone to send it to my dad.”

After, she pulled Li Su onto the elevator and went to the department Jiang Shan worked in.

As a result, when they went in, they saw Jiang Shan talking and laughing with a woman.

Wei Yue Er didn’t think that there was anything wrong.
She also knew who the woman was.
She was a colleague from Jiang Shan’s department.
But, Li Su felt that something was wrong.
The woman was too close, sitting at an intimate distance.
This wasn’t good.

Wei Yue Er shouted, “Husband!”

 Jiang Shan raised his head and saw Li Su and Wei Yue Er.
He and his female colleague moved away from each other subconsciously.

“Yue Er is here.
Ah, how sweet.
Jiang has worked overtime and hasn’t eaten dinner, so you brought dinner here.”

Jiang Shan walked up to Wei Yue Er and Li Su.
He took the box from their hands.
“Let’s go to the break room.”

Wei Yue Er smiled and nodded at his female colleague in greeting.
Then, she went with Jiang Shan.

In the break room, Jiang Shan looked at the delicious food in front of him and smiled.
“Mum, Yue Er, you should eat too.” After he took two bites, Jiang Shan remembered something.
“Did you bring some for your dad?” Wei Yue Er had given him food before, but had forgotten her father’s share.
Father Wei had not been happy about that.

Wei Yue Er was a little embarrassed.
“Mum reminded me.
I let the front desk take it.”

Jiang Shan smiled helplessly after hearing that.
“You! It seems that it will be better to have a boy in the future.”

“Why? Didn’t you say you wanted a daughter before?” Wei Yue Er didn’t understand why the topic shifted to this again.

Li Su couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Silly child! Your man is making fun of you being a woman!”

Wei Yue Er blushed and reluctantly reached out to hit Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan hurriedly stood up and dodged.
Wei Yue Er, who had her chopsticks in one hand, ran after him.

Jiang Shan dodged and said, “Hey, be careful holding those chopsticks.
You might poke yourself!”

Outside the door, Wei Ding Shan stood blankly.
The secretary, who stood behind him, didn’t know what was wrong with President Wei, and quietly reminded him, “Mr.
Wei, do you want to go in?”

Wei Ding Shan shook his head.
“Forget it.
Let’s go back to the office!” He had been very excited to receive his daughter’s loving dinner for the first time.
He thought that his daughter was finally thinking of her father.
But, he then learned that his daughter had personally delivered food to his son-in-law.
Wei Ding Shan was jealous and wanted to come over and criticise his daughter.

He then saw this scene and Wei Ding Shan didn’t want to enter the room.
Wei Ding Shan joined the army at 16 and retired when he was 36.
After that, he founded this company.
When he was young, he was busy with his career and thus ignored his family.
It was only when he got older did he realise the value of family.
But, he wasn’t present while his daughter was growing up, resulting in he and his daughter not being very close.

He didn’t know how to express his love for his daughter, so he could only do his best to give her the best.

After learning that her daughter was obsessed with Jiang Shan and underwent heartbreak, Wei Ding Shan felt sorry for his daughter and bought the other woman with half a million, asking her to break up with Jiang Shan.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long before Jiang Shan and Yue Er started dating and then got married.

It’s just that Wei Ding Shan had felt mixed emotions.
He wasn’t sure if this was the right or wrong thing to do.
But, he didn’t want to see his daughter sad.

It seemed that it had been the right thing to do.
Yue Er was very happy now.
