After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 762 My Mother-in-Law's Good Son

Having just gained a new older brother, Chen Jinchun insisted on inviting Lu Liang home for a formal dinner.

Lu Liang couldn't refuse her invitation, so he accepted and came to the PT district of Shanghai, near the West Railway Station.

The company is about 15 kilometers away as the crow flies, but during the evening rush hour, it takes me an hour to get back.

"Come in, no need to take off your shoes, the house isn't tidied up yet." Chen Jinchun took the lead and pushed open the door.

The apartment, a large two-bedroom unit of only 80-odd square meters, was piled high with express delivery packages and cardboard boxes from the entrance to the living room.

She gave an embarrassed smile: "I usually live in an apartment, I only come over to tidy up on weekends."

How much did it cost when you bought it?

Lu Liang took a quick look around; the furniture and appliances were all new, and most of them still had their plastic wrap on.

"Total price: 580 million, down payment: 290 million, loan: 290 million." Chen Jinchun took out a disposable paper cup and poured a glass of water for Lu Liang.

Lu Liang, being a seasoned real estate agent, quickly calculated the monthly mortgage amount: "It'll be around 15,000 to 16,000 yuan a month, right?"

"Fifteen thousand eight."

Chen Jinchun nodded. Although her monthly salary was just above the company's average, after deductions she only received a little over 20,000 yuan.

However, her semi-annual and annual bonuses are very high, on par with executives such as Tang Caidie and Li Yizhou.

Although after paying off the mortgage, my salary was only a little over 6,000 yuan, the pressure wasn't too great considering my total annual income.

"I'm hungry." Lu Liang said casually, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, gesturing towards the kitchen, and waiting for dinner.

"Okay." Xiao Chen happily went to the door to retrieve the takeout ingredients he had ordered on the way.

She put on a kitchen apron, looking quite professional, but soon after, a clanging and clattering sound came from within.

"It's okay, we'll be eating soon."

Xiao Chen was busy in the kitchen, but she didn't forget to reassure Lu Liang that she could handle it all by herself.

Lu Liang remembered that he had things to do that evening, and if he let Xiao Chen do whatever he wanted, dinner would probably turn into a midnight snack.

He couldn't help but sigh, rolled up his sleeves, walked into the kitchen, and said irritably, "Get out."

"Looking down on people?"

Xiao Chen looked displeased, but Lu Liang proved with his strength that he had the right to look down on him.

The potato slices were cut almost without pause, and the potato was soaked in water to remove the starch in one go.

Xiao Chen promptly shut up, a fawning smile spreading across his face: "Then I'll go clean up the dishes?"

The only response she received was a cold gaze.

Half an hour later, the three dishes and soup were ready.

"Brother, I never knew you had this skill."

Xiao Chen smiled and quickly took out her phone to take a picture to commemorate the occasion, captioning it: "My first meal cooked by myself in my new home."

Lu Liang glanced at it; the comments quickly surpassed double digits, and they were all from familiar names: "Can't you have any shame?"

Xiao Chen raised his chin and said righteously, "Do you expect me to say that it was my brother, President Lu, who made it for me?"

"Why don't you give it a try?" Lu Liang said irritably.

Xiao Chen retorted, "I wouldn't dare!"

Lu Liang was so angry he felt heartbroken.

Suddenly I felt like I had done something wrong.

He looked helpless and sighed, "Pack your things and head to Suzhou tomorrow. Yaoguang will be released on the 18th. In the next few days, have your team cooperate with the marketing department to do some promotion."

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Xiao Chen shoveled rice into his mouth with a sly grin, saying, "Brother, this tastes really good. If you ever open a restaurant, I'll definitely subscribe for you every month."

She is an only child and has always hoped to have an older brother to take care of her. The more she calls him "brother," the more natural it becomes.

Lu Liang sneered, looking at Xiao Chen with eyes that showed no brotherly affection for his sister, only undisguised disdain.

After dinner, Fang Shiyu came to knock on the door. Lu Liang washed his face and was about to leave when he looked at Fang Shiyu and then at Xiao Chen.

"gone."

The words that were on the tip of his tongue remained unspoken. His cousin probably liked Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen might not feel the same way.

However, there is a way. The key is to do some ideological work with your cousin.

"Bye-bye, be careful on the road~" Xiao Chen said with a smile, standing at the door of her house, watching Lu Liang leave.

On the way to the maternity and children's hospital, Lu Liang suddenly asked, "Ayu, what do you feel about Xiao Chen?"

Fang Shiyu was taken aback. His footwork, which was usually even more precise than cruise control, suddenly became a little less forceful, and he could clearly feel the jerk while sitting in the car.

He said in a muffled voice, "Sister Chen is very lively and cheerful."

"She's only three months older than you, stop calling her 'sister' all the time. If you're interested, just go for it."

Lu Liang looked at him with disappointment, realizing that his cousin had a crush on Xiao Chen, but he was naturally introverted and couldn't express himself, which was a waste of his height of over 1.9 meters and weight of over 200 kilograms.

He added, "Don't let Xiao Chen's cute appearance and good personality fool you; nobody in the company is actually pursuing her."

The more beautiful and powerful a woman is, the fewer suitors she has, because men are usually more self-aware and will keep their distance if they know they are not good enough for her.

Take Xiao Chen for example. He's always wandering around with his employee ID number 003, and there are rumors that his relationship with him is ambiguous, so no one dares to mess with him. "Oh~" Fang Shiyu responded, expressionless, and continued to concentrate on driving.

"Given her personality, she's very likely to meet the wrong person."

Looking in the rearview mirror, Lu Liang observed his cousin's expression, which had remained impassive until a slight change finally appeared.

He laughed and said, "Hey, don't be so self-conscious. You're only in your early twenties. Who else earns a million a year like you?"

"I don't feel inferior," Fang Shiyu explained.

"There's no such thing as an inferiority complex. If you like someone, just go for it. In the end, it's just that you're too insecure." Lu Liang teased, having been there himself, he knew exactly how to provoke a young man.

The car soon arrived at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Puxin. Before Lu Liang got out of the car, Fang Shiyu suddenly said, "Let's go after them."

We look forward to seeing your performance!

Lu Liang couldn't help but chuckle as he entered the inpatient department and, guided by the medical staff, arrived at Wang Chuting's ward.

"The release of the Yaoguang should be the first major event in the automotive industry this September. We need to find a way, no matter how much it costs, to get one for immediate testing..."

Wang Chuting was sitting on the hospital bed, as if she were holding a remote video conference, when Lu Liang suddenly appeared at the door.

She paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Let's leave it at that for today and get everything done as soon as possible."

Wang Chuting closed the tablet, looking guilty: "Weren't you in Suzhou? Why did you suddenly come back?"

Lu Liang said sarcastically, "If I didn't come back, how would I know there was such a hard-working woman at home? She's in confinement after giving birth, yet she's still busy with company matters. She must be exhausted."

Founded by Wang Chuting, Chujun Media has become a well-known MCN (Multi-Channel Network) influencer incubation agency in China after several years of development.

Today, the number of signed influencers under its name has expanded to include short, medium, and long video bloggers of all types, and the business involved is no longer limited to product promotion and live-streaming e-commerce.

I missed you, hug me~~

Wang Chuting's eyes darted around, and she suddenly spread her arms, pouted, and said with a wronged expression, "Giving birth hurts so much."

Lu Liang was speechless, but he still stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and hugged Wang Chuting: "You've worked hard."

One second she's a shrewd and capable businesswoman, the next she transforms into a coquettish and affectionate woman.

She's always been good at playing with contrasts.

Who can stand this?
“I’m happy every time I see Junjun.” Wang Chuting smiled and greedily inhaled the scent of Lu Liang.

She whispered, "After all, Yaoguang is going public in a few days. I want to help out and do my part. Maybe if you finish your work sooner, you can come back to see me sooner."

Lu Liang couldn't help but chuckle and teased, "Do you think I've only just met you? Too much talk leads to mistakes; this is a bit too fake."

"Ugh, is that how you look at me?" Wang Chuting said angrily, glaring at her fiercely.

"Isn't that right?" Lu Liang asked with a smile. In his impression, Wang Chuting had always been very career-oriented.

If he hadn't insisted, she probably wouldn't have been willing to leave the company even if she were pregnant.

Just then, Mom suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

The mother-in-law glanced at her son-in-law, her expression slightly tense, and asked, "Lu Liang, when...when did you arrive?"

She suddenly felt a sense of unreality, even though her daughter said that the child's father was Lu Liang, and she had previously confirmed this through video calls.

But seeing Lu Liang in person still gave me a feeling that I couldn't put into words, like seeing those famous big shots from TV come to life.

Just like Wang Chuting had given her before, if Lu Liang were to formally visit their hometown in western Jiangxi for an on-site inspection, the entire city's leadership team would have to accompany him, and the entire city would probably have to repair its appearance three days ahead of schedule.

This is the treatment a billionaire, the head of a company with such a huge industrial chain as Tianxing Auto, should receive in a third- or fourth-tier city.

"Auntie, I just arrived. I came back from Hong Kong, but something came up and I went to Suzhou. I finished dealing with things there this afternoon and rushed back overnight."

Lu Liang smiled and explained very clearly, not only to his mother-in-law but also to Wang Chuting.

Firstly, it shows that I take it seriously, and secondly, it shows that I'm not the kind of person who just shakes around and then forgets about it.

As he spoke, he beckoned Xu Jiawei, who was outside the door, and took out the health products he had previously purchased in Hong Kong.

Lu Liang said with concern, "Auntie, I heard Chu Ting say before that your knees are very uncomfortable on rainy days because you worked in the fields in your early years."

So when I went to Hong Kong this time, I specifically consulted a family of imperial physicians who had fled there during the late Qing Dynasty.

I heard from a friend that his family's prescription was incredibly effective, so I specifically asked him for a few doses of traditional Chinese medicine.

You can try it first. If it works, I'll bring you a few more courses of treatment next time.

Lu Liang sighed and said, "Actually, I wanted to ask him for a specific recipe so I wouldn't have to keep going over there, but he said it was a family heirloom and he would never reveal it."

Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law was overjoyed. She tightly grasped Lu Liang's hand and quickly said, "I understand, I understand. Lu Liang, you are so thoughtful. I don't know how to thank you enough."

"We're family, so let's not speak like outsiders," Lu Liang said.

"By the way, you haven't seen Junjun yet, have you?"

The mother-in-law held Lu Liang's hand, her attitude suddenly becoming even more affectionate than towards her own daughter. She smiled and said, "He's in the next ward. I'll take you to see him. He's very cute. His nose and mouth shape are very similar to yours, and his eyes are like Tingting's."

"Chu Ting, let's go check on Junjun first."

Lu Liang smiled brightly and turned to Wang Chuting, saying, "Stop working all the time, take a break when you need to."

"Okay, I understand." Wang Chuting was speechless for a moment, but her gaze towards Lu Liang became even more intense.

She knew that Lu Liang was deliberately trying to please her mother, and his utilitarianism was very obvious. But if he didn't care about her, why would he be so utilitarian?
