Chapter 40 The Foolish Eldest Daughter-in-law of the Su Family

When they returned to the Su family, Zhen Qing had already left, but Mr. Su's eldest daughter-in-law, Xia Qiulian, arrived first with her son Su Wenwu.

Mr. Su’s eldest son, Su Zhenyun, has two sons. The eldest son, Su Wenqiang, was born to his ex-wife and is currently working in the military.

The second son, Su Wenwu, is Xia Qiulian's biological son. He is a few years younger than Tang Wenya and is currently in high school.

As soon as Meng Hao and Meng Xin followed Tang Wenya into the living room, the mother and son's eyes fell on the brother and sister.

"Could this person be the master that grandpa mentioned? He's too naive, isn't he? If grandpa hadn't told me, I would have thought he was my cousin's boyfriend!"

Su Wenwu was the first to cry out in surprise.

He himself is quite inexperienced, yet he actually said that Meng Hao is "too inexperienced".

Upon hearing this, Old Master Su rolled his eyes. Xia Qiulian, on the other hand, immediately responded with two even more harsh words.

"What boyfriend? Look at his outfit, it's only worth 500 yuan. How could your cousin like him? He's even less likely to be a master. He must be your grandfather's new male nanny!"

"...By the way, Wenya, where is the master your grandfather mentioned? Also, don't get too close to men like this in the future. It would be bad if people misunderstood him as your boyfriend!"

Xia Qiulian was not a highly educated or cultured person. When Su Zhenyun's first wife was bedridden, he hired a country girl to take care of her. This nanny was Xia Qiulian.

Xia Qiulian was young and beautiful, and she could please Su Zhenyun, so not long after his wife's death, Su Zhenyun married Xia Qiulian despite the opposition of his old man.

Xia Qiulian is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and it is inevitable that he becomes carried away by his success.

In addition, her mother's family has gradually become prominent in recent years because of Su Zhenyun, and is now considered a wealthy family.

Xia Qiulian was even more arrogant and always liked to act like a high-ranking official 's wife.

By now, she has gotten used to it and even in front of Mr. Su, she ca n't help but reveal her arrogance and harshness.

The reason why Su Wenwu spoke harshly actually came from Xia Qiulian.

Tang Wenya had always looked down on him and his mother. When she heard him speak, she was afraid that Meng Hao would feel uncomfortable, so she smiled and said, "Aunt has always had a keen eye, but this time she is really blind. This is Master Meng! Grandpa treats him as a VIP. If you dare to say that he is like a male nanny, be careful or he will kick you out immediately!"

Xia Qiulian cried out, "Ah!" Without caring about Tang Wenya scolding her for being blind, she blurted out, " How is this possible? He is too young! And... looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a master at all. Have you been deceived, old man?"

Old Master Su had always disliked this daughter-in-law, but after all, she was Su Zhenyun's legal wife, and had brought a boy to the Su family, so Old Master Su had to tolerate her reluctantly.

But now, this mother and son not only spoke harshly to Meng Hao, but even after Tang Wenya had pointed out that Meng Hao was Master Meng, they still did not know how to be careful with their words and actions, and actually blurted out the words "being cheated".

He is an old man in his forties, how could he be easily deceived?

So Old Master Su couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "What did you say? You two have been gossiping since Master Meng came in. Although Master Meng is magnanimous, I, an old man, can't stand it! Go away and don't come to me again!"

Mr. Su rarely gets angry, but when he does, he can be very scary.

Su Wenwu was so scared that he quickly stood up and sat down next to Grandpa Su like a spoiled child.

"Grandpa, I didn't do it on purpose, and...I didn't say anything bad about Master Meng!"

After all, he is Grandpa Su's grandson. No matter how much Grandpa Su doesn't love him, he can't kick him in public. He can only glare at Xia Qiulian, the culprit, angrily.

Xia Qiulian's face flushed, and she stammered, "I didn't say that Master Meng was bad. I just didn't know his identity! Besides... he is indeed too young, and it is true..."

She didn't get to finish her words because Mr. Su glared at her, scaring her so much that she quickly shut up.

Tang Wenya tried to smooth things over and said with a smile, "Forget it, Grandpa. After all, Brother Meng is not a stranger. If we visit each other more often in the future, there will definitely be opportunities to meet my aunt. I think it will be a good thing if we get to know each other's personalities!"

These words immediately brought him closer to Meng Hao.

Grandpa Su finally took a breath and nodded, saying, "That's right, let it go! But if you two dare to gossip again, don't blame me for not letting you into the house!"

Xia Qiulian nodded and agreed quickly.

Only then did Old Master Su order the kitchen to serve wine and food, and he warmly pulled Meng Hao to sit next to him.

All kinds of delicacies from land and sea were served like flowing water. Even when Meng Hao and Meng Xin were not yet in poverty, they were rarely seen.

Su Wenwu was eating with oil coming out of the corners of his mouth while he lowered his head to play with his mobile phone . He didn't bother others and others didn't bother him either.

Xia Qiulian's mouth was extremely busy as she ate and talked.

Fortunately, she had learned from Master Su's previous lesson, so she didn't dare to say anything too much. Occasionally, one or two of her words were a bit harsh, and Tang Wenya and Master Su had no choice but to smooth things over for her.

For example, at this moment, she focused her attention on Meng Xin again.

"This little girl is really pretty, but she's a little petty! But that's unavoidable. After all, there are only a few families like our Su family. Wen Ya, since you've recognized her as your sister, you should take better care of her and take her out to see the world more often!"

"As the saying goes, people need clothes, and Buddha needs gold. Go buy her some nice clothes tomorrow. It will definitely improve her temperament. This way, she won't lose face when she walks with you!"

She was clearly saying nice things, but it made people feel upset when they heard them.

Tang Wenya hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, aunt! By the way, aunt, you were just a nanny before, I wonder how you improved your temperament, is it because my uncle bought you some nice clothes?"

"Look at the way you talk, kid. It's natural to me. I can't learn it!"

Xia Qiulian glanced at Tang Wenya in a reproachful manner and quickly changed the subject.

"Wenya, you didn't tell me earlier that you were acknowledging me as your sister. Look, I came here empty-handed today, without even a gift. How about I bring my pearl necklace over next time and give it to this child? Such a beautiful child, but she doesn't even have a piece of expensive jewelry on her. How pitiful!"

"Since Aunt-in-law said so, I don't think you need to send the pearl necklace to me some other day. The jade bracelet on your wrist is pretty good. Just take it off and give it to Sister Meng Xin!"

Tang Wenya smiled innocently.

Xia Qiulian's face changed and she subconsciously covered the bracelet on her wrist.

"That won't do. This bracelet is worth nearly a million dollars. It's too precious for a kid like you to wear! Besides, it was given to me by your Uncle Xia on my birthday. If I give it to someone else, I'd be letting your Uncle Xia down!"

The Uncle Xia she mentioned was none other than her elder brother Xia Qiusong.

Tang Wenya knew that she would never be willing to give up the pair of bracelets and wanted to tease her , but Meng Hao's voice sounded cold and indifferent.

"This pair of bracelets is probably not worth nearly a million, but nearly ten million, right?"

"What?" Tang Wenya was stunned.

At the same time, Xia Qiulian also blurted out, "You, you, you ...don't talk nonsense!"

If she hadn't reacted so strongly, everyone else would have thought Meng Hao was joking.

After all, although the Su family has a high status, they are not wealthy and have neither the ability nor the courage to wear jewelry worth nearly 10 million yuan when going out.

all their eyes were cast on Xia Qiulian's face in an instant .

Xia Qiulian herself realized that she had lost her composure, so she quickly smiled to cover it up and held the jade bracelet on her wrist tighter with her hand.

"Master Meng, you must be joking! This bracelet... my brother said it's only... 980,000 yuan, what... nearly 10 million yuan, how can it be that expensive?"

This statement is even more of a cover-up.

Old Master Su was already very clear about Meng Hao's abilities and knew that Meng Hao would never speak carelessly, so he quickly smiled and looked at Meng Hao.

"Master Meng just said that this bracelet is worth nearly 10 million? What's going on?"

"Madam Su's bracelets are called 'Ice Heart of Clear Water'. They are top-grade ice jadeite. The price is definitely not 980,000, but 9.98 million! Boss Xia bought them to please Madam Su, but he was afraid that Director Su would not let Madam Su accept such an expensive gift, so he said it was only 980,000. But Madam Su herself knows the real price. Am I right?"

“This, this, this …”

Seeing Mr. Su staring at her sternly, Xia Qiulian became even more flustered and stammered.

"Tell me clearly what's going on. Master Meng is very observant. Don't expect to deceive me anymore!" Old Master Su asked coldly.
