"To be honest, is your husband a second-generation rich person?" Xu Manman asked.

"No," Shen Yian replied.

"Impossible, your mother-in-law's state, her attire, she's clearly a wealthy noblewoman!" Xu Manman gestured.

Colleagues around nodded in agreement.

Shen Yi'an originally wanted to give a simple explanation, but Wang Ruqi’s sour voice suddenly rang out across the room.

"Yi An, you're hiding too well. No wonder you refuse to get back together with Gu Cheng. If I were you, I would choose your mother-in-law's family too—it's a one-time solution."

Wang Ruqi was clearly implying that Shen Yian abandoned Gu Cheng for wealth and status, claiming the ten thousand yuan was just an excuse.

At this moment, Shen Yian felt there was no need to explain.

If it's said that Aunt Mo used to do business, wouldn't that be putting Wang Ruqi in a difficult position?

And she really didn't want to have anything more to do with Gu Cheng.

She changed the subject and said, "You chose my mother-in-law's family? Forget about your rich, handsome boyfriend?"

Wang Ruoqi's face changed: "I didn't mean that."

A colleague who didn't like Wang Ruqi loudly said: "It's true that being rich, handsome, and successful is good, but doesn't every wealthy person's mother-in-law have high expectations? I think Yi An's mother-in-law is the best. She's considerate, elegant, and generous with Yi An. With such a mother-in-law, there are so many fewer things to worry about at home."

Xu Manman saw someone arguing with Wang Ruqi, and immediately stood up.

You probably don't know this, but Yi An's mother-in-law bought a wedding house for her and her husband on Qingjiang Road. That area is the most expensive in our district.

Shen Yian was about to stop Xu Manman halfway through the sentence, but he was still a step too late.

The people around her heard this and surrounded her even tighter.

"I'm so envious, my family could only afford an old rundown apartment on Yunhua Road when I married my husband. It's miserable every time it rains."

"Where can I find such a good mother-in-law? In the future, when I look for a boyfriend, I have to learn from Yi An."

Shen Yi'an listened and felt embarrassed, shaking his head repeatedly.

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a house bought with a loan."

"Nowadays, who buys a house without a mortgage? At least your husband can still come up with a down payment of hundreds of thousands, that's good."

Shen Yian smiled and didn't speak, giving Xu Manman a reproachful look. Why did she have to say it?

Xu Manman pouted her lips, expressing apology, and said she would never do it again.

I thought the topic was over, but who knew Wang Ruqi suddenly smiled.

"If that's the case, then your wife's house would be considered premarital property, so it wouldn't belong to you, right?"

Shen Yian thought it was nothing and was just about to nod, but Xu Manman rushed out again.

At least one good thing about your mother-in-law is that she's kind to her daughter-in-law. As for your wealthy and handsome mother, it's hard to say. Who doesn't know that the rich hate talking about money? You go up there and let your in-laws buy you a house worth millions, as if you were just asking someone for a handout!

Wang Ruqi's face turned pale.

Shen Yian was worried that he was getting carried away, so he quickly said: "Let's get back to work. No more chit-chat during working hours."

Then everyone dispersed.

Shen Yi'an lowered his head and continued to perfect Wei Yi's plan. Wang Ruoqi had already finished, and she had to hurry up too.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed.

"Yianjie, everyone in the building is talking about your mother-in-law. They're so envious," Xu Manman sent a smile.

Shen Yian frowned instead.

How do they know?

It took a minute for Xu Manman to reply.

"I saw Wang Ruqi keep bragging in the group about her wealthy and handsome suitors, so I couldn't help but mention what just happened with your mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, everyone envied you, and Wang Ruqi got so angry that she didn't say anything else, haha."

"Maman, please don't mention my private matters in the group chat anymore, okay?"

There was also Gu Cheng in the group. If Wan Yi thought she was deliberately showing off, Gu Cheng would be like a piece of adhesive plaster again.

"Why? It's not something shameful. How could it possibly make Wang Ruqi and Gu Cheng so angry!"

"I don't like being talked about." Shen Yian replied helplessly.
