Chapter 4 The Domineering CEO Who Kills for Money 3
"Second brother, have you offended Ye Zhiqiu in some way?" Mother Chu sighed at the various gifts on the table. It's not that she doesn't like the various supplements that Ye Zhiqiu gave her, but she prefers real gold and silver.
Ye Zhiqiu had given these gifts before, but that was just a courtesy. The truly valuable things were the gold jewelry and cash she had generously given. There was nothing she could do, she was just so tacky, she only liked gold and money that could preserve their value.
In fact, she loved money the most, but Ye Zhiqiu had given her pension money every year, so she had no reason to ask for more. She could only use the excuse that she liked gold jewelry to ask for more valuable gifts.
If she wasn't afraid that it would be too embarrassing to ask for the gold bars directly, she would rather accept the gold bars issued by the bank.
Father Chu threw away the cigarette in his hand and said, "Go back and coax Ye Zhiqiu. You still need to ask her to help your nephew go to school in the city."
Big Brother Chu didn't say anything, but he used his eyes to accuse Chu Jiahao of being wrong. If he had the face of the second brother, he would have tried to please the Ye family in various ways, unlike the second brother who still pretended to be noble.
"Mom and Dad, I am your biological son." Chu Jiahao was very dissatisfied.
When he married Ye Zhiqiu, his family said they had no money to help, but turned around and bought a house for his eldest brother. He said he couldn't get married without money, and his eldest brother persuaded him to become a son-in-law in the Ye family, and his parents acquiesced.
If Ma Weiwei hadn't stayed in her hometown, he would have needed an excuse to come back more often and would have blocked his family long ago.
"What's wrong with being your own son? Can you help Xiaohui go to school in the city?" Chu's father was not a good-tempered person. It was only because he was old now. When he was younger, if Chu Jiahao dared to speak to him in this tone, he would have slapped him.
It's not that Chu Jiahao can't solve the problem of his nephew going to school in the city, but if he does it, he has to pay for it no matter what method he uses. Leave it to Ye Zhiqiu, no matter what method she uses, it's fine as long as he is not the one who pays.
He couldn't bear to spend his own money on his nephew, who was not his child.
After parting ways with his family on bad terms, Chu Jiahao stepped on the accelerator and drove to Ma Weiwei's house.
When the Ma family saw Chu Jiahao, they naturally tried to please him in various ways, but this kind of flattery was different from that of the Chu family.
The Chu family tried to please him, but they didn't care when they spoke. The Ma family, including Ma Weiwei, were all very cautious, fearing that they might offend him accidentally.
If he frowned, I would worry that he was unhappy. If he coughed, I would worry that he had a cold.
He had never been treated this way in the Ye family or the Chu family. Only in the Ma family was he considered the center of attention, with everyone revolving around his joys and sorrows.
Ma Weiwei was not particularly pretty, but she had a clever mouth and was good at talking, and she could make Chu Jiahao happy with just a few words. Ma's father was very kind to this cheap son-in-law, and he almost patted him on the shoulder and called him brother.
Ma's mother had already gone into the kitchen to get busy when she knew Chu Jiahao was coming.
Prawns, small yellow croakers, hairtail, mutton, pig's feet, and a lively old hen are all Chu Jiahao's favorite dishes.
A table full of delicious dishes was set, and Chu Jiahao's anger was almost gone.
He had eaten better food at the Ye family, but it was not what he liked. He liked the flavors of his hometown, but unfortunately his family never cooked for him.
Every time he said that he had a good meal outside, so he would go home to eat some vegetables to cleanse his stomach. Even if the family prepared a meal, it would be his eldest brother and nephew who would eat first, and then it would be his turn.
The Ma family is different. Even the most favored younger brother Ma ranks behind Chu Jiahao.
Brother Ma was not unhappy about it. His cheap brother-in-law came back four or five times a month at most, and the rest of the time he could eat whatever he wanted.
Not to mention just a few good dishes, he would have no problem giving his parents to Chu Jiahao as long as the price was right. He knew that the good life the family had now was all thanks to this brother-in-law.
He was counting on his brother-in-law to buy him a house and a shop in the city, so how could he make a fuss over a few bites of food? That's stupid.
Ma is not stupid, but also very perceptive. After eating and drinking, he asked Chu Jiahao if he had anything to do, and he could give it to him.
This question hit the mark of Chu Jiahao's heart. He did have something that he didn't want anyone to know, but if it was Ma Xiaodi, it wouldn't matter. Even if he didn't want to do it, he didn't have the courage to reveal the secret.
"You've met Ye Zhiqiu, right? Please help me keep an eye on her and see what she's busy with recently." Chu Jiahao didn't believe that Ye Zhiqiu's change was because of the child.
He also didn't see how much Ye Zhiqiu loved the child. After all, the child wasn't just born, it was already a few months old. At the beginning, he didn't see her putting all her thoughts on the child, but now she was pretending to be a loving mother.
He wanted to see what Ye Zhiqiu was hiding.
Ma Xiaodi nodded: "I know, brother-in-law, don't worry, I will keep an eye on him."
Ma Weiwei watched her brother rubbing his hands back and forth, and rolled her eyes where Chu Jiahao couldn't see. Although she felt disgusted in her heart, she still acted coquettishly to help him: "He has no money, and you can't be stingy when you ask him to do things outside."
"I'll transfer 20,000 yuan to you first. Remember to issue an invoice." Chu Jiahao was reluctant to spend his own money. He had already planned to take the invoice back to the company for reimbursement.
Ma Weiwei thought it was too little: "Little brother, you use it first, and then tell your brother-in-law if it's not enough." As she said this, she pulled Chu Jiahao's hand to touch her belly, so that she could experience the feeling of being kicked by a baby.
Chu Jiahao was not very interested in the unborn child, but he did not take his hand away to save Ma Weiwei's face. For the sake of the child, he did not think Ma was greedy.
"Brother-in-law, I'll do the job, don't worry."
Ma Xiaodi knew this would be the result. He didn't need to ask for too little money. His sister would help him solve everything. He had to find a way to get more money from his cheap brother-in-law while his sister was still in favor.
As long as he was willing to run errands, issuing invoices would not be a problem. As long as he wanted, how many invoices would not be a problem. He was just afraid that if he was not given a chance, it would be nothing to keep an eye on Ye Zhiqiu. It was not like he was going to risk his life.
What could a woman do? It was just shopping every day, he didn't even need to go out in person, he could just see which of his friends were short of money recently and ask them to keep an eye on them.
Chu Jiahao didn't know that Ma Xiaodi was actually thinking of subcontracting. He knew that he would not change his mind. He gave the cash specially. Even if there was an accident in the future, without outsiders, the words of the Ma siblings could not be used as evidence.
Ma Xiaodi didn't know that he was just a discarded pawn in Chu Jiahao's eyes. He had already found someone to run errands, and the rest was naturally just sitting at home and waiting for the results.
He spent 5,000 yuan to hire someone, and he still had 15,000 yuan left. He said he had no money in a few days and asked his cheap brother-in-law for it. He had thought of all kinds of excuses to ask for money. Ye Zhiqiu was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. If he wanted to keep an eye on her, he would definitely have to go to high-end places, so it was normal to spend some money.
If Chu Jiahao doesn't give it to her, he will let his sister make a fuss. The child in her belly has the surname Chu, so it's nothing to spend some money on her brother-in-law.
It’s good enough that their family didn’t ask the Chu family for hundreds of thousands of dollars in betrothal money.
