“Auntie Four?”
Liang Fei initially focused all his attention on the beautiful woman, and it took him a few steps to realize that she had actually come with Auntie Four, Yang Huizhen.
He also noticed that the beautiful woman was holding the hand of a dolled-up little girl.
Uh?
A married woman??
Liang Fei’s eyes shone even brighter.
“Auntie Four, how come you came by yourself.”
Liang Fei stepped forward with a smiling greeting.
“Xiaojun, are you blind or what, do you see me alone here!”
Yang Huizhen had no great fondness for this blond nephew of hers and rebutted, before introducing Sun Xinyi who was beside her: “Isn’t your sister-in-law right here!”
“Uh…”
“Sister-in-law??”
Liang Fei was completely dumbfounded.
He opened his mouth wide in surprise and sized up Sun Xinyi again and again, sure that the beauty in front of him was definitely not the previous sister-in-law.
Although the previous one was also quite pretty, she couldn’t compare to the current one, not to mention that this sister-in-law was even younger.
“Xinyi, this is Xiaojun, the child from your mother-in-law’s family.”
Yang Huizhen introduced Liang Fei to Sun Xinyi.
“Hello.”
Sun Xinyi greeted politely.
“Sister-in-law, hello…”
Liang Fei quickly nodded in response.
Meanwhile, he was internally shaken by a storm of emotions, as the news of big brother Yang Hao’s chain of hotpot restaurants closing down, and his wife leaving him had become explosive news among relatives.
Because back when Yang Hao was flourishing, he was the pride of the family, and Liang Fei, when boasting to his friends, never failed to mention “My big brother has opened five hotpot restaurants in Jiangcheng.”
So, when the news about Yang Hao’s chain of hotpot restaurants going under and his wife running off came out, it truly shocked everyone.
Some felt pity for him, while others watched with the attitude of spectators at a show, occasionally stepping on him during conversations.
Liang Fei belonged to the latter group.
He had thought that this time he would see his big brother looking down and out!
He had not expected him to bring back such a young and beautiful sister-in-law…
“Auntie Four, where are big brother and sister Yani?” Liang Fei asked.
“They went to park the car.”
The hotel’s parking lot was full, so Yang Hao and Liu Yani had to take the car to the back parking lot. Since it was quite a distance, they let Yang Huizhen and Sun Xinyi come in first with Xixi.
“Auntie Four, who is this?”
As she spoke, Yang Huizhen had already brought Sun Xinyi to the table where the Yang Family members were sitting. Yang Huizhi saw a strange beautiful woman coming and asked.
“This is Hao’s girlfriend, Xinyi.”
“Xinyi, this is your auntie, your uncle, that one is your third uncle, third auntie…”
Yang Huizhen immediately introduced these relatives to Sun Xinyi.
Sun Xinyi greeted each of them in turn.
However, the older members of the Yang Family were all somewhat stupefied.
Especially Liang Xiaojun, who didn’t get along too well with big uncle Yang Guomin, he was quite gloating over the misfortune of his grand-nephew’s hotpot restaurants failing and his wife leaving.
He had not expected that in just a few months, the boy would have a girlfriend!
And the girl was excessively attractive, even to the point that his old eyes were almost popping out.
What’s more outrageous was that this girl was about the same age as his own son, probably more than a decade younger than his big nephew!
She could have been my daughter-in-law.
And yet she ended up with a twice-married big nephew with a child, what could she be after!
Liang Xiaojun was rather resentful in his heart.
“This is Xixi, right?”
“She’s grown up so much in the blink of an eye, I’ve only met her once when she was very little.”
Although Yang Huizhi wasn’t as close to the big brother as Auntie Four Yang Huizhen, she also didn’t harbor the same schadenfreude as her husband and son.
She quite liked Xixi when she saw her now.
“Xixi, this is called your little auntie granny.”
Yang Huizhen lifted Xixi up and introduced her.
“Little auntie granny, hello…”
Xixi politely greeted, always confident even in front of strangers, and she even got more excited when there were many unfamiliar faces.
“This little girl is really adorable…”
Yang Huizhi came closer and touched Xixi’s chubby little cheeks.
And at that moment, Liang Xiaojun was looking at Sun Xinyi and asked, “Xinyi, how old are you this year?”
“Uncle, I’m 24.”
“24…”
Liang Xiaojun silently did the math in his head; this girl was eleven years younger than his grand nephew, Yang Hao.
Yang Guofu, standing nearby with his wife, Hao Fang, exchanged a look after Sun Xinyi revealed her age, both faces showing their shock.
She’s so pretty and so young!
How did she come to fancy our grand nephew?
“Xinyi, do you know about our Hao’s situation?”
Hao Fang asked, wondering in her heart if their grand nephew had deceived this girl.
“Eh?”
Sun Xinyi was taken aback, finding the question from her aunt-in-law a bit strange.
But she nodded anyway: “I do!”
The two of them had been open and honest with each other, with nothing left unknown!
“That’s good then.”
Hao Fang nodded slightly, relieved that her grand nephew hadn’t duped the young woman.
“Sister-in-law, I work in self-media. It would be a waste for someone with your looks not to be a streamer. Are you interested in joining our company?”
Seeing that this beautiful sister-in-law seemed quite approachable, Liang Fei came up and extended the invitation directly.
“Sorry, I’m not interested in streaming.”
Sun Xinyi decisively shook her head. When she was at Bolli Fitness Center, she had to start a Kuaiyin account for the sake of performance, but even then, she updated it half-heartedly.
She truly had no interest in streaming or short videos.
“Sister-in-law, you might not be very familiar with the self-media industry. Actually, becoming a streamer is quite simple, not as difficult as you imagine.”
“Especially with your looks, sister-in-law, you don’t need any special talent, being a beauty streamer would suffice.”
“If you’re willing to join our company, I can offer you a Class A contract right away, with a guaranteed annual salary of one hundred thousand, not including the earnings from streaming and product promotions!”
“If we include earnings from streaming and product promotions, the sky’s the limit…”
Liang Fei wasn’t giving up, attempting to lure this sister-in-law with benefits.
In his eyes, his older brother was nothing but a loser whose business had failed. He probably couldn’t provide this beautiful sister-in-law with a decent life, so by promising a high salary, she might waver.
Two female streamers at their company had initially refused, but after they were offered a good base salary, they agreed.
“Little Fei, are you out of your mind? Didn’t you hear your sister-in-law say she’s not interested in streaming?”
This time, before Sun Xinyi could respond, Yang Huizhen snapped back at him.
“Auntie, look at what you’re saying. I just want our sister-in-law to earn a bit more money,” Liang Fei chuckled dryly.
Just then, Liang Xiaojun stood up for his son, exhaling a plume of smoke from his free cigarette before saying, “Fourth Sister, you can’t make decisions for Xinyi!”
“I think what Little Fei says makes sense, it’s for Xinyi’s benefit. It’s not easy to earn a base salary of one hundred thousand.”
“Xinyi, how is your current income?”
With that, Liang Xiaojun turned to look at Sun Xinyi.
An annual salary of one hundred thousand was indeed not low in the current society, especially since Sun Xinyi was only 24 years old and had probably only graduated from college a year or two ago, her salary would likely be at most four or five thousand a month.
Sun Xinyi hesitated a moment before honestly answering, “My annual salary is around two hundred and fifty thousand.”
In fact, after recent events, Sun Xinyi felt that an annual salary wasn’t important anymore. After all, Yang gave her spending money in the millions.
Yesterday, when she told Yang she had spent the entire million on her parents, he transferred another million to her right away, saying it was for her to spend…
Which meant that Yang gave her spending money equivalent to forty years’ salary in one go!
So, was an annual salary still important?
These past few days, Sun Xinyi didn’t even have much of a concept of money anymore; it seemed like just a string of numbers.
But that wasn’t the case for everyone present. Yang Guofu, the minor post office director, had an annual salary between one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand, which depended on performance.
Don’t think that working at the post office is easy; there are various sales tasks to be completed. Selling moon cakes for Mid-Autumn Festival, rice dumplings for Dragon Boat Festival, and sweet dumplings for Lantern Festival are just the basics; there’s also the sale of various magazines and newspapers.
It doesn’t matter if they can’t sell; they can just buy them themselves.
And the targets set by superiors are usually unattainable, so every year, a substantial amount of money is spent on fulfilling these tasks.
Thus, though Yang Guofu’s job seems decent, his actual income isn’t particularly high. In earlier years, he earned pretty well by selling financial products due to the high rebates, but in recent years, people have become more cautious, and it’s harder to sell financial products…
Liang Xiaojun’s income was even lower, being a small workshop team leader who earned a monthly wage of six or seven thousand; even with a year-end bonus, it was hard to reach one hundred thousand.
Therefore, when Sun Xinyi stated her salary of two hundred and fifty thousand, it was a significant blow to both of them.
The corners of Liang Fei’s mouth twitched upon extending the invitation. He hadn’t expected this sister-in-law’s income to be so high!
But if her income is already this high, why would she choose a divorced man with a child, an older man at that?
It’s all a bit puzzling!
“Let me tell you, Xinyi said two hundred and fifty thousand just to avoid scaring you with a higher number!”
“Yesterday, Xinyi spent hundreds of thousands just buying fishing gear for my brother alone!”
Having known Liang Xiaojun and his son for many years, Yang Huizhen was aware of their character. This father and son pair always had a penchant for wealth and disdain for the poor, and had been nothing but sycophantic when their grand nephew was doing well.
Now, thinking their grand nephew had fallen on hard times, that’s why they spoke to Sun Xinyi in such a manner; otherwise, they’d have presented a different face.
And after interacting with her for a couple of days, Yang Huizhen knew that Sun Xinyi was a reasonable person without too many complicated thoughts. But she didn’t want her niece-in-law to be bullied, so she stepped up without hesitation.
As expected, her words stopped Liang Xiaojun and his son, Liang Fei, in their tracks.
So, the salary of two hundred and fifty thousand was a conservative estimate.
Giving gifts in the hundreds of thousands!
It turned out that this sister-in-law was a little rich woman?
