C15 Good News

In front of so many people, Lin Fengyu unexpectedly uttered such words. Lin Fengxue immediately looked slightly annoyed.

"Yu, can you not make jokes like this casually? If your brother-in-law hears it, he'll be so sad."

Lin Fengyu rolled her eyes indifferently, impatiently saying, "I'm speaking from the heart. Why should I care if that useless guy is sad or not? If you ask me, you two should just get a divorce quickly. Any man you randomly pick off the street is better than him."

Lin Fengxue spoke coldly, "Yu, if you keep this up, I'll get angry!"

Wang Tongtong hurriedly came over to defuse the situation, looking at the man next to Lin Fengyu.

"Fengxue, is this the brother-in-law you told us about?"

Lin Fengxue nodded and said, "Zhang Kai, this is Wang Tongtong, my close friend."

Zhang Kai smiled and nodded at Wang Tongtong, then waved to the others.

"Since you are all guests invited by Sister Fengxue, you are my guests too. You don't need to be restrained. Order whatever you like to eat, and I'll have the kitchen prioritize it."

Wang Tongtong approached with a grin, "Mr. Zhang, I heard that the head chef here is a renowned foreign chef. How about having him show us his skills?"

Lin Fengxue hastily added, "Zhang Kai, it's fine if it's inconvenient."

"Why would it be inconvenient? I'll go and tell him; the rest of you can keep chatting."

After saying that, Zhang Kai turned and left. Lin Fengyu looked pleased, a smile playing at the corner of her lips. "Sis, Zhang Kai told me that their head chef personally cooks only up to five times a month. Ordinary people with money can't even get a taste. It's all thanks to my influence that you get to enjoy this."

Lin Fengxue chuckled dryly, "Yes, it's all thanks to you."

The rest of the people also joined the conversation enviously:

"Yu is amazing, having a boyfriend like Zhang Kai, who is powerful and influential. I'll never have that kind of luck in my lifetime."

"That's because Yu is so good-looking, isn't it? I think having a girlfriend like Yu is Zhang Kai's good fortune."

Upon hearing these compliments, Lin Fengyu straightened her posture with pride.

At that moment, Chu Hee walked in, "Honey, sorry I'm late."

Lin Fengxue felt a surge of joy in her heart, rushed to greet him, and naturally wrapped her arms around Chu Hee's.

"Hubby, didn't I ask you to come early? Look, almost everyone is here. Thankfully, my parents haven't arrived yet, or they would have criticized you in public."

Chu Hee replied, "I got held up with something."

Lin Fengxue introduced Chu Hee to everyone with a happy face, saying, "Let me introduce you all. This is my husband, Chu Hee. Hubby, these are my colleagues."

This was the first time Lin Fengxue's colleagues had seen her husband. They didn't know much about her family situation, so they complimented him, seeing him dressed so well in a suit.

"Fengxue, your husband is so handsome. Why didn't you introduce him to us earlier?"

You two sisters do have an eye for men.

"Fengxue, your husband looks so refined. Is he an executive in some company?"

It was the first time Chu Hee had received so many compliments all at once, and he wasn't accustomed to it.

Lin Fengyu couldn't help but laugh and bluntly said, "He's only good at eating at home."

After Lin Fengyu's comment, the expressions of her colleagues in the room became awkward.

"I'm really sorry."

"Fengxue, you're a beautiful and intelligent woman with a successful career. Why did you choose such a useless man?"

"I must be ignorant. This is the first time I've heard of a man depending on a woman."

"Fengxue, now I finally understand why your sister spoke like that earlier. She wasn't wrong."

Wang Tongtong immediately joined in with sarcastic remarks, "Don't say that. Even though Chu Hee stays at home and lets Fengxue support him, he can still afford to buy Fengxue an Omega watch worth over a hundred thousand."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, especially Lin Fengyu, who opened her mouth in disbelief.

Her eyes involuntarily focused on the Omega watch on her sister's wrist and exclaimed; Sis, is that an Omega watch on your wrist? Is it really worth over a hundred thousand?"

Lin Fengyu crossed her arms, her chest heaving with suppressed anger.

"No wonder the other day you were so secretive and reluctant to give me this watch. I actually thought it was because of the bond between sisters. Little did I know it's worth over a hundred thousand!"

She discreetly glanced at her own wrist, where she wore a watch worth just over thirty thousand. When Zhang Kai said he'd buy her a watch, he had actually bought that one for her.

She had always been proud of it; no matter where she went, she would show it off. But now, Lin Fengyu discreetly covered the watch with her sleeve, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Sister, Chu Hee doesn't work. How could he have so much money to buy you a watch?"

Wang Tongtong immediately perked up her ears; she had always been curious about this.

"I won hundreds of thousands in the lottery," Chu Hee said.

"No wonder, so you're just lucky," Lin Fengyu said scornfully. "But you really don't understand my sister. If you truly care about her, you should have given her those hundreds of thousands directly. Don't you know how much she wants to buy a house? You're not only bad at making money, but you're also extravagant when you spend it."

Coincidentally, Lin Guangzhi and Lee Min heard Lin Fengyu's words as soon as they reached the door.

"What? Hundreds of thousands? What are you talking about?"

When Lin Fengyu saw her parents had arrived, she immediately exaggerated and said, "Mom, Chu Hee won hundreds of thousands in the lottery, and he used it to buy a watch directly. He really doesn't know how to live within his means!"

"Lee Min's face darkened as she turned to Chu Hee with anger, disregarding the presence of so many people. She directly scolded him, 'What did you buy for hundreds of thousands? A worthless watch? What use does that watch have? How did I end up with a son-in-law who's so extravagant, squandering money without earning a penny?"

"You didn't even tell us about the hundreds of thousands; you just spent it on your own without consulting us. You're really independent, aren't you? Hundreds of thousands! It took me two years of hard work to earn this much money, how can you be so wasteful?" Lin Guangzhi also frowned, his brows twisted in anger.

Seeing the situation getting out of control, Lin Fengxue quickly stood in front of Chu Hee and spoke up for him.

"Dad, Mom, Chu Hee bought this watch for me because I like it. He hid it from everyone to give me a surprise. Chu Hee is really good to me."

"Don't be angry with him. Come sit down, I have some good news to announce. I promise you'll be happy when you hear it."
