“So you’re here, huh? What’s wrong, are you nervous?”

Chen Xiao asked with a smile.

“I’m not nervous, I’m just a little… okay, I am nervous.”

His mother said with a helpless look.

Chen Xiao laughed heartily, “Mom, don’t be nervous. When it comes down to it, even if you really get together with Uncle Wang, it’s your business with Uncle Wang. What does it have to do with them? If they dare to gossip, I’ll beat them up!”

“Look at you, talking nonsense again. What do you mean, beat them up? You still think you’re a kid!”

His mother gave Chen Xiao another eye roll.

Chen Xiao thought to himself that he really didn't beat people up much anymore. Usually, if they disagreed, he would just kill them!

The next day at ten-thirty in the morning, Chen Xiao and his mother arrived at the Pearl River Hotel ahead of time.

Before leaving, his mother had specially dressed up, putting on clothes that she usually didn't dare to wear.

Although she didn't have the luxurious air of a wealthy woman, she excelled in simplicity and natural grace.

Moreover, possibly due to the influence of the earth vein dragon qi, his mother looked much more energetic and younger than before.

She looked to be only in her early forties.

Chen Xiao thought to himself that with his mother's conditions, not to mention finding an old man, she could even find a young man in his thirties!

At ten fifty, Uncle Wang finally arrived late.

“I’m really sorry, Xiao Liu, there was a bit of traffic on the road, so I was a little late and kept you waiting!”

As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Wang apologized repeatedly, which greatly improved Chen Xiao's impression of him.

He was a gentle and refined old man. According to his mother, he was a retired middle school principal, educated and knowledgeable.

Before long, Uncle Wang's son and daughter also arrived.

Wang Ge looked to be about thirty-four or five years old, wearing a thick gold chain and a small gold watch. As soon as he entered the door, he threw his BMW car keys on the table.

Uncle Wang introduced him as his eldest son, who was in business and had several shops under his name, earning several million a year.

Wang Xiaomei was about the same age as Chen Xiao, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with a serious expression. She worked in scientific research.

“Xiao Liu, this must be your son, Chen Xiao, right? I wonder what Xiao Chen does for a living?”

Uncle Wang asked with a smile.

“Oh, I’m a doctor, working at Jiangcheng Hospital.”

Chen Xiao said proactively.

“A doctor is good, it’s a respectable profession, respected by others, and the income is not bad.”

Uncle Wang said politely.

However, Wang Laoda and Wang Xiaomei turned up their noses. For ordinary families, the profession of doctor was indeed not bad.

But in their eyes, it was just so-so, not worth mentioning.

Uncle Wang wanted to exchange a few more pleasantries to get to know each other better, but Wang Xiaomei said impatiently, “Alright, hurry up and order the dishes. After lunch, I have to go back to work!”

Wang Laoda said with a complacent smile, “Xiaomei, you are a very busy person now. No one in our family can compare to you. How far has the enzyme technology developed by your Anchen Technology Development progressed? When will the product be available?”

“It’s transaminase!”

Wang Xiaomei said, “It’s still early for the product to be launched. It will take at least three to five years!”

“That’s so long, but it’s worth it. I heard that it’s a product that can change the world. When it’s really launched, won’t your annual salary be several million?”

Wang Dage said with an exaggerated expression, deliberately glancing at Chen Xiao when he spoke, clearly showing off.

“Several million? By then, that number will only be my monthly salary.”

Wang Xiaomei said calmly.

“Good heavens, one month is as much as my one year. If only I had studied hard back then!”

Wang Dage glanced at Chen Xiao with a smug look, “Xiao Chen, they say doctors are a high-paying profession. How much do you earn a month now?”

“I’m not really sure. I haven’t checked my salary card.”

Chen Xiao said truthfully. He really didn’t know how much money he had now. Anyway, he had several trillion.

The hospital’s salary was less than a drop in the bucket to him. He didn’t even know how much it was, and he didn’t even know where he had put his salary card.

“Hehe, you are carefree enough.”

Wang Dage immediately wore a mocking expression.

In his opinion, Chen Xiao must have been embarrassed to say it because he earned too little. Otherwise, how could any normal person not know how much their salary was?

“Alright, say a few less words!”

Wang Xiaomei glared at Wang Dage impatiently and said in a businesslike manner, “Since we are here today for the marriage of the two elders, let’s be more sincere and less routine, and get straight to the point!”

Chen Xiao thought that this was too direct. Weren’t they just meeting to get to know each other? How did it involve marriage?

Liu Zhen didn’t expect the other party to mention marriage, so she wanted to speak, “I…”

However, before she could say anything, Wang Xiaomei interrupted her directly: “Aunt Liu, the specifics can be decided by us and your son. You don’t need to interrupt.”

Hearing this, Chen Xiao was immediately angered. This woman was too impolite!

However, he didn’t know that this was just the beginning, and even more infuriating things were yet to come.

Wang Xiaomei said with a serious expression, “Let me calculate the accounts for everyone.”

“Aunt Liu is fifty-three years old this year, and my dad is sixty-five. From an age point of view, my dad has the advantage.”

“Let’s consider it from an economic perspective. My dad’s retirement salary is 12,000 yuan per month. My brother and I will also give him tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands a year, depending on the situation.”

“As for Aunt Liu, she doesn’t have a pension. She used to just sell pancakes at the farmers market, so neither in terms of status nor income, Aunt Liu and my dad are a good match.”

“But who told my brother and me to be filial? Since my dad has chosen Aunt Liu, we have no objections, but I hope Aunt Liu can recognize the reality… and that reality is that, economically, you have to depend on my dad.”

“So I hope that after you get married, you can fulfill the obligations of a virtuous wife and mother. Washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning the room. The meals must be delicious, and the room must be spotless. The washed clothes must have the fragrance of laundry detergent, preferably hand-washed. My brother and I will go back regularly to check.”

“Given that your son’s income is not high and he is not married, if necessary, we will provide him with some financial assistance in the future.”

“That’s all I can think of for now. Brother, do you have anything to add?”

After Wang Xiaomei finished speaking, she turned her attention to Wang Dage, completely unaware that the expressions on the faces of the two people opposite her were already quite ugly.

Chen Xiao laughed in anger, but he restrained himself.

If a younger sister could say so many absurd conditions, he wanted to hear what nonsense this older brother could come up with.

Wang Dage thought for a while and said commandingly, “Xiaomei, you’ve considered everything very carefully. I have nothing to add, except for one thing. Dad and Aunt Liu can get married, and I can handle the wedding, but the marriage certificate must not be obtained!”
