Yu's mother still refused to listen to her daughter's arrangements and went to see a divorce lawyer, and kept clamoring to leave. In the end, Yu Chuhui had no choice but to threaten to break away from the mother-daughter relationship, so he temporarily left his mother behind.
After eating, Yu Chuhui took his mother back to 2202, while Zhu Zhe stayed to help Wang Gang clean up the mess, and might not leave at night.
Zhu Zhe silently put away the dishes and chopsticks, with a straight face, and his interest was not high.
Wang Gang saw something and ran over to comfort him: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Zhe forced a smile, shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
Wang Gang hugged Zhu Zhe from behind and said, "Don't lie to me, you must have something on your mind."
Zhu Zhe sighed, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier about your investment in the game company?"
Wang Gang guessed that Zhu Zhe was concerned about this matter.
"Isn't it good that I have money? From now on, we won't have to worry about money for the rest of our lives." Wang Gang said softly.
Zhu Zhe turned around and said to Wang Gang: "But the problem is that you are too rich. I feel a lot of pressure to be with you."
Wang Gang laughed back and said: "Everyone wants their man to make as much money as possible, so why do you mind doing it?"
A long time ago, Wang Gang discovered that Zhu Zhe had a bit of inferiority complex.
"I always thought you were doing a small business and had a little money." Zhu Zhe said slowly, "Even if you are like this, I am worried that I am not good enough for you.
Now tell me you are a billionaire, and I feel pressure to stand with you."
Wang just smiled and said: "Sister Zhu, are you hating the rich?"
Zhu Zhe rolled his eyes at Wang Gang and said, "I'm talking to you seriously!"
Wang Gang stopped smiling and said sincerely: "Actually, this is what I like about you. There are too many superficial women who want sugar daddies in this society, but those like you are rare.
If it were any other woman, I would still worry that she was with me because of my money."
Zhu Zhe said sheepishly: "Am I as good as you say?"
Wang Gang kissed Zhu Zhe and said, "You are better than I said."
Zhu Zhe stopped clearing the dishes, wrapped his arms around Wang Gang's neck, and said affectionately: "Xiao Gang, I love you."
"Sister Zhu, I love you too!"
The next day, Zhu Zhe rarely asked for a day off from his boss. In the morning, he stayed with Wang Gang at home, and in the afternoon, he went to the station to pick up his younger brothers and sisters back to Ode to Joy.
Wang Gang wanted to drive Zhu Zhe to pick him up, but she refused.
Because Zhu Zhe didn't want his family to know Wang Gang's existence for the time being, and also because there were so many people coming this time that one car wasn't enough.
Zhu Zhe's sister Zhu Ting is getting married soon, and this time she came to Shanghai to buy a dowry. His brother Zhu Mingjie brought his girlfriend and her mother to Shanghai to see a doctor. There were four people in the group, and Wang Gang couldn't fit in a car.
According to Zhu Zhe's idea, he took the subway and bus back to Ode to Joy with his younger siblings, trying to make the route as complicated as possible to prevent his younger siblings from knowing her home address.
After Wang Gang learned about it, he could only say: "Do you think your siblings are fools? You have brought people to your home, do you still care about leaking your address?"
In this day and age, as long as you have a mobile phone and a location, you can know everything!”
Zhu Zhe thought so too.
"Why don't we bring them here with Ode to Joy and send them directly to the hotel!" Zhu Zhe said distressedly.
"It's best to bring him back and let them know what your life is like in the devil's capital." Wang Gang said righteously.
Zhu Zhe lived frugally for the sake of his family. In the past few years, even a bowl of Yangchun noodles was a luxury. It was not easy for him to support his younger brothers and sisters in college. He himself never went to college.
Even though I bought a house, I still had to recruit roommates to share the mortgage burden.
Sometimes Wang Gang felt distressed when he saw it, but because of Zhu Zhe's self-esteem, he didn't help.
This time Zhu Zhe's younger brother and sister came over, just in time to let them see Zhu Zhe's hard work with their own eyes. If they still don't know how to use their eldest sister as a cash machine, then they don't need such relatives!
"Just take the subway and bring them here! No need to take a detour." Wang Gang said with a smile: "It's just right for them to feel how crowded the Shanghai subway is.
If that doesn't work, you can drive my car to pick them up. If you add them, there will be exactly five people, so it will be convenient to carry luggage."
"No," Zhu Zhe flatly refused, "I'll drive there, don't let them think the car is mine."
"You just said borrowing the neighbor's car, what does it matter?" Wang Gang said.
"Better not." Zhu Zhe said, "If they continue to ask questions, you will still be implicated. I don't want you to meet for the time being."
Wang Gang laughed back and said: "Are you still afraid that I will disgrace you?"
"I'm afraid that my family will scare you away." Zhu Zhe said with a bitter smile.
"No." Wang Gang held Zhu Zhe's hand and said, "The person I like is you. No matter what your family is like, I have chosen you."
Zhu Zhe felt so sweet in his heart that he kissed Wang Gang before going to the station to pick him up.
When she took the subway to the station, she found that her sister Zhu Ting and her brother Zhu Mingjie had already arrived.
Next to Zhu Mingjie were her girlfriend and future mother-in-law.
"Sister, why are you here just now? We have been waiting for you for a long time." Zhu Mingjie said angrily when he saw Zhu Zhe.
Seeing that there were outsiders present, Zhu Zhe could not get angry, so he could only say: "Sorry, I got a call from my work unit on the way to do some work, and I passed the station."
"Let's go home first!" Zhu Zhe took the initiative to take his brother's luggage.
"Sister, how do we go back?" Zhu Ting asked.
"Take the subway! There is a subway station near the house I rent. We can get there by taking the subway twice," Zhu Zhe said with a smile.
Zhu Mingjie's girlfriend and her mother were a little disgusted when they heard about taking the subway.
Zhu Mingjie said: "Let's take a taxi!"
Zhu Zhe said: "Taking a taxi is so expensive! Besides, the five of us can't fit in one car, so we have to take two."
"Isn't your salary quite high? You can't bear to take a taxi. The richer you are, the more stingy you are." Zhu Mingjie muttered.
Zhu Zhe's heart sank, but he still held back his anger and said: "The wages in Magic City are high, and the prices are also expensive! Renting a house and eating, nothing costs money."
"Okay! Let's go quickly! My mother is tired of standing." Zhu Mingjie's girlfriend complained.
Zhu Mingjie bossed around his eldest sister, but immediately changed his attitude towards his girlfriend.
"Okay, we'll leave right away." Zhu Mingjie took the initiative to help his girlfriend carry her luggage, and then handed it to Zhu Zhe.
Zhu Zhe reluctantly took the luggage and glanced at his second sister Zhu Ting.
"I'll do it myself." Seeing that her eldest sister's hands were full, Zhu Ting was too embarrassed to ask her to help carry her luggage.
The five of them walked to the subway station and took the subway for almost an hour before arriving at Ode to Joy.
The subway was crowded, and Zhu Mingjie only focused on his girlfriend and future mother-in-law, without even looking at his eldest and second sisters.
After arriving at the Ode to Joy community, Zhu Mingjie couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Sister, the community you live in has a nice environment! How much does it cost?" Zhu Mingjie asked.
"It's more than 50,000 yuan per square meter here, and the smallest one costs about 4 million." Zhu Zhe said as he struggled to hold his luggage.
Recently, thanks to the completion of the nearby hospital, the house price of Ode to Joy has increased a bit and has exceeded the 50,000 mark.
Zhu Ting was surprised and said: "It's so expensive. One house here is enough to buy eight in our hometown."
Zhu Zhe explained: "House prices here are already considered cheap. After all, the location is a bit remote. Although there is a subway, it is still some distance from the city center."
Zhu Mingjie said excitedly: "Sister, did you buy your house?"
Zhu Ting and Zhu Mingjie’s girlfriends couldn’t help but pricked up their ears, waiting for Zhu Zhe’s answer.
"How is it possible? How can I afford to buy a house here? I share it with two other roommates." Zhu Zhe did not dare to disclose the fact that he bought a house.
From the moment they met until now, his younger brother and sister have not said a word of concern. Instead, they have been asking about her income and whether she has bought a house! Of course Zhu Zhe understands what she is thinking.
Zhu Zhe took people to 2202, and when he entered the door, he saw Yu's mother and Yu Chuhui.
"Ah Chu, aunt, you are all here! These are my younger brothers and sisters." Zhu Zhe introduced each other to the two parties.
Yu Chuhui greeted Zhu Zhe politely, and then said to Zhu Zhe: "Sister Zhu, I just came back from get off work and will start a part-time job right away."
"Okay, please go slower on the road."
Zhu Zhe took his younger brothers and sisters to his room. Five people were crammed into the small room, and there was no room to even stand.
"Sister, why is your room so small?" Zhu Mingjie asked dissatisfied.
"The rent in the Magic City is too expensive. The rooms are small and the rent is cheaper." Zhu Zhe replied.
"Then where should we sleep at night?" Zhu Ting asked.
"I have already thought about it. In the evening, Xiaoting and I will sleep together while Mingjie lays the floor and let your girlfriends and others stay in a hotel to save some money."
Then Zhu Zhe began to work hard, saving money and working hard. In order to support his younger siblings in school, he owed a lot of debt. He also hoped to use Zhu Ting's wedding gift money to repay part of the debt first.
Zhu Ting and Zhu Mingjie came to Magic City this time to catch the autumn wind. Seeing that they had not reaped the benefits and had to get money from outside, they immediately packed up their things and ran to a hotel to stay.
