The sister-in-law was about to call Zhao Dong when she suddenly noticed her brother walking in.
It was too late for her to explain.
The sister-in-law handed over the card and said, "This money is what Xiao Dongfei wants to give to me. You can send it back to him later."
The elder brother didn't answer, "It's not like you don't know what kind of temper Xiaodong is. Now that he has taken it out, he will definitely not take it back. Just keep it."
The sister-in-law finally accepted it, "You asked me to accept it. If mom finds out later, you have to explain it to me."
"You, I really don't know what to say about you!"
"What's wrong?"
"You know Xiaodong's character, and you also know Miss Su's family situation. They will give us this little living expenses? Even if you don't open your mouth, Xiaodong will definitely give it to you, but you insist on making such a fuss!"
The sister-in-law was a little embarrassed and covered it up: "I don't care about money."
The eldest brother was helpless, "You still don't admit it? I'm telling you, when we live together in the future, you can control your temper!"
He felt that his wife was good in every aspect, but she was a little petty, straight-tempered, and short-sighted.
Considering Sophie's family situation, life with Xiaodong is definitely getting better and better.
How much can I spend if I just stay here for a few months? In the future, I might be able to find a place to beg someone for help.
…
On the other side, Zhao Dong also helped.
The room is sufficient and the furniture is ready-made, so it can be occupied by simply tidying it up.
He looked on with tears in his eyes, "Mom, you have been wronged and have to vacate your room."
Mother Zhao smiled kindly, "You bastard, what are you talking about? Mom feels sorry for Xiao Fei and treats her as her goddaughter!"
Zhao Dong also laughed, "Mom, you are so kind!"
Mother Zhao warned, "Don't do this. I'm telling you, no matter what state you and Xiaofei are in now, you can't bully her!"
Zhao Dong pretended not to understand, "Mom, what did you say?"
Mother Zhao asked back, "Are you still pretending to be stupid with me? With your little tricks, you can deceive others, but you still want to deceive me?"
In fact, she had already noticed that there was something strange about the relationship between the two, but she never revealed it.
The flaw came not from Sophie, but from Zhao Dong. When the two of them were together, they looked natural, but underneath they were reserved and nervous.
She knows her son better than anyone else. If the two were a normal couple, they would not be in this situation.
Zhao Dong felt a little guilty and didn't know how to explain it.
Based on the stories and experiences between him and Sophie, it is indeed difficult to get along like a normal couple.
It would be a lie to say you don't like it.
After nearly a month of getting along, although there were times when we were separated and noisy, the deep love was something he had never felt before.
But Aunt Mei's disapproval always stood between them like a chasm.
Just as she was thinking about it, Zhao's mother asked, "Is it because of Xiaofei's family?"
She understands her son, who seems to be casual but extremely strong. If it weren't for the obstruction from Sophie's family, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
In fact, this is not difficult to guess. Sophie has an elegant manner, a good family background, coupled with her outstanding appearance and temperament, there must be many suitors for such a girl.
Although in her eyes, her son is very good, outsiders obviously don't think so.
Veterans do not have a decent job, and their income is only an ordinary salary standard.
Under such conditions, there is no guarantee that Sophie's family will make things difficult for her.
"Mom, you are overthinking. Xiaofei's family takes good care of me. When the opportunity is right in the future, I will introduce you to them."
Zhao Dong didn't know what to say. It was okay for him to bear some grievances alone, but he didn't want his mother to know anyway.
Mother Zhao stroked his hair, "Silly boy!"
…
Before leaving get off work, Zhao Dong arrived at Su's downstairs on time as agreed.
When the security guard saw that it was Sophie's car, he opened the gate from a distance and stopped other passing vehicles to let him drive in first.
Then he gave another standard salute and watched him drive the car into the basement.
Zhao Dong stopped the car, still thinking about the scene just now in his mind.
No wonder everyone wants to climb up. The feeling of climbing up is just different.
However, he knew in his heart that this preferential treatment was because of Sophie and had nothing to do with him.
Just as I was thinking about it, the elevator door opened.
Zhao Dong turned around to look, only to realize that the person who came out was not Sophie.
But being able to get out of the elevator dedicated to the president, his identity should not be simple.
Walking in front was a young man, in his early twenties, whose face was somewhat similar to Sophie's, with a wild and arrogant look on his face.
Behind him was a girl who looked like a secretary. She was dressed in standard business attire, a white shirt, a black skirt, and flesh-colored stockings. Underneath were a pair of well-proportioned slender thighs.
Such a girl would stand out in a crowd, let alone in a dimly lit basement.
Even Zhao Dong couldn't help but take a few glances.
However, she was not very old, walked with her head lowered, and looked a little reserved.
The two of them walked straight to the parking space No. 3 next to them. In the parking space was a stylish sports car, which he had seen once when he came here in the morning.
The girl struggled all the way, but when she was near, she suddenly regretted, "Mr. Hua, it's too late, I still won't go."
Zhao Dong didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations. Fortunately, the film on the car window was private enough that he could see the outside from the inside, but couldn't see the inside from the outside at all. Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing.
The man called Mr. Hua said in a sharp voice, "Aren't you going?"
The girl looked embarrassed, "Mr. Hua, I'm really not good at drinking. Why don't you call someone else?"
Mr. Hua sneered, "Don't want to go? Okay, then you won't have to come to work tomorrow!"
Zhao Dong frowned. He was most disgusted with guys who bullied women. Although he didn't know his identity, he thought he wasn't a good guy.
Just as he was thinking about it, the man quietly came to the car and suddenly grabbed the girl's hand.
The girl was startled and the folder in her hand fell to the ground, "Mr. Hua, you..."
"Why are you pretending to be innocent with me? I'm giving you a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, not just for you to sit in an office. Why don't you have a clear idea of what to do?"
As he spoke, he made a motion to unzip his zipper, and his tone became even more shameless, "It's okay if you don't want to come with me. What should you do? You don't need me to teach you, right?"
A scream came from the girl's mouth.
The security guard not far away heard the noise, saw it was him, and ran away in despair.
The man stood still and said, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you serve me comfortably, I will give you a salary increase tomorrow. Twenty thousand yuan per month, is it enough?"
The girl turned around and left with a look of shame and anger, "Sorry, Mr. Hua, I'm not that kind of person!"
"Damn it, you brought out my anger and you just want to walk away like this?"
Zhao Dong was sitting in the car when he heard a "clang" and the girl was pressed against him in the car!
