“The contract has been signed long ago.” Hou Junlai said in an indifferent tone, “Tianmei Corporation has signed a long-term cooperation contract with me. To a certain extent, we vdll be in the same boat in the future.” Mr. Hou, Mrs. Hou, and Hou Xiaoyu were dumbfounded once again. They knew very well what this contract meant. With this contract, Hou Junlai’s company’s development would definitely advance by leaps and bounds in the future. At that time, money would keep rolling in! Everyone was extremely excited. Only Hou Junlai looked a little tired and said, “I’m going upstairs to rest.” With that, Hou Junlai went upstairs and returned to his room.
Hou Xiaoyu leaned closer to Mrs. Hou’s ear and said, “Mom, why isn’t my brother happy at all? Did he encounter some trouble?” Mrs. Hou said, “That’s right. Junlai seems listless today. He doesn’t seem to be in a good mood.” Mrs. Hou looked worried. “It’s probably because of Jian Xing’er.” Mr. Hou said, “Jian Xing’er has become a famous figure now, so countless men are coveting her. It’s normal for Junlai to be in a bad mood.” These words made Mrs. Hou’s expression darken. “Yes! It must be Shangguan Ding. That person has been pestering Jian Xing’er and coveting a married woman. He’s too shameless!”
“We have to think of a way to make him stay away from Sister-in-law!” Hou Xiaoyu looked very worried. “Yes! We have to think of a way!” Mrs. Hou nodded heavily. “Jian Xing’er is our daughter-in-law. We can’t let anyone snatch her! We must work together to help Junlai win back Jane Xing’er. If Junlai can get together with Jane Xing’er, our family will rise to the top. No one will dare to mess with us!” Mrs. Hou secretly made up her mind.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang a few times. Mrs. Hou was overjoyed and hurriedly went to open the door. In the end, she realized that the person who came wasn’t Jian Xing’er, who she had expected, but Hou Qiang. Hou Qiang stood at the door as he gave Mrs. Hou a fawning smile. In the past, they were poor relatives with no power or status! But now, he didn’t dare to put on airs in front of the Hou family. Hou Qiang said to Mrs. Hou, “The entire Demon Province is in an uproar. The President of the Provincial Chamber of Commerce, Bai Hao, personally arrived and punished those people. Tianmei Corporation has become the corporation with the most potential in the entire Demon Province! The Liu family is really out of its depth. How dare they go against the Tianmei Group. They are way too brazen! Jian Xing’er destroyed them with a flick of her finger!” “Of course. The daughter-in-law of the Hou family is very capable!” Mrs. Hou was extremely proud. She was a vain person to begin with. Now that she saw Hou Qiang, who had always looked down on them, currying favor with her, she felt even more proud. In fact, Mrs. Hou even felt a little smug! “I’ve always thought highly of Jian Xing’er. Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have let my son marry her!” Mrs. Hou smiled and said, “The Hou family only wants the best.”
“You’re so wise!” Hou Qiang couldn’t help but praise, “With Jian Xing’er as your daughter-in-law, everyone in the Demon Province will have to respect you in the future.” “Of course!” If Mrs. Hou had a tail now, she would have wagged it already. “This time, my father also came and wants to congratulate Junlai personally.” Hou Qiang smiled and said, “1 just don’t know if Junlai has the time.”
“Of course he does!” Mrs. Hou hurriedly said. In the past, the people of the Hou family’s inner clan despised them very much and didn’t even want to admit that their family was a part of the Hou Clan. Now, the high and mighty Hou Qiang personally came to curry favor with them. Even the head of the Hou family’s inner clan had to personally congratulate Hou Junlai. Now, Mrs. Hou felt very smug! She knew very well that the change in the attitude of the inner clan towards them was all thanks to Jian Xing’er.
At this moment, a silver-white luxury car slowly stopped at the entrance of the villa. Then, an old man with a walking stick alighted from it. This person was the head of the Hou family’s inner family—Hou Gui. When Mr. Hou, Mrs. Hou, and Hou Xiaoyu saw him, they hurriedly ran forward to welcome him. After inviting Hou Jun to the villa’s main hall, Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou made tea for him. Hou Gui’s personal visit was a great honor to them. This was the first time the Hou family had been valued by an inner family member. “Quick, go upstairs and call your brother down! Tell him to change into a clean set of clothes!” Mrs. Hou secretly poked Hou Xiaoyu as she whispered.
…..
“Alright!” Hou Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly and ran upstairs quickly. After another five minutes, Hou Xiaoyu walked down the stairs with a troubled expression. Mrs.. Hou frowned and asked, “Why isn’t your brother down?” Hou Xiaoyu said helplessly, “1 don’t know what’s wrong with my brother, but he said that he won’t see anyone!”
