Chapter 5

 

"Continue the meeting." Zhan Yin said as if nothing had happened.

The person sitting next to him was his eldest cousin. His name was Zhan Yichen, the second young master of the Zhan family.

Zhan Yichen came closer and asked in a whisper, "Brother, I heard what Grandma said to you. Did you really marry that woman named Tong?"


Zhan Yin replied with a murderous glare.

Zhan Yichen clumsily rubbed his nose and sat up straight, not daring to ask any more questions.

However, Zhan Yichen felt sympathy for his brother.

Although the sons of the Zhan family did not need to marry to consolidate their position, Zhan Yin and the sister-in-law were not compatible. Just because their grandmother liked a woman named Hai Tong, they couldn't do much and agreed to let their older brother marry her. His brother was pathetic.

Once again, Zhan Yichen sympathized with him.

Fortunately, Zhan Yichen was not a boss. Otherwise, he would be the one to marry his grandmother's savior.

Of course, Hai Tong had no idea about their conversation. After asking which floor his new house was on, she carried her luggage and found his house.

After opening the door, she entered and found that it was quite big. It was even bigger than her sister’s house. Moreover, his house was lavishly decorated.

After dropping off her luggage, she first walked around the house that was now her home.

Two halls, four bedrooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and two balconies. Every room was big enough. She estimated that this house was at least two hundred square meters.

There was very little furniture, a sofa, a coffee table and a wine cabinet in the hall. Only two of the four rooms had beds and wardrobes. The other two were empty.

The master suite was a suite that was divided into a bedroom, a dressing room, a study, and a bathroom as well as a toilet. Although several rooms were divided, the main room was the size of a hall. It was quite large.

This must be Zhan Yin's.

Hai Tong decided to stay in another room that was next to the balcony and had good lighting. She chose a room separate from the main bedroom so that they could have some privacy.

Even though they had received the marriage certificate, she thought that Zhan Yin did not want to have a real married life and she would never take the initiative to ask.

After dragging her luggage into the room, she returned to the kitchen.

The kitchen was clean, no kitchen utensils at all, and the balconies on both sides were empty as well. Because of the large room, the two balconies also gave a very wide impression. So, she thought it would be fun to have some flowers and plants on the balcony, and then bought a rocking chair and put it on the balcony, so that when she had some free time, she could sit on the rocking chair and read a book and enjoy the flowers. How comfortable!

It seemed that Zhan Yin rarely ate at home.

Now that she was living in this house, she would definitely be cooking. So, she started with the kitchen and bought a lot of kitchen utensils online. As for things like growing flowers on the balcony and buying other furniture, she wanted to wait for Zhan Yin to come home and ask his opinion.

After all, this was his home and she was just a guest.

After ordering the kitchen utensils, Hai Tong looked at the clock and had to rush back to the store.

She grabbed the house key and rushed downstairs with her phone.

By the time she returned to the store, it was almost time for the students to leave school.

Her best friend, Shen Xiaojun, asked her worriedly. "Tongtong, where have you been and what have you been doing this morning?"

"My sister and brother-in-law have been fighting every day lately because of me. So I'm thinking of moving," Hai Tong said. She looked at her friend helplessly and continued, "And finally, I've moved out this morning.”

Shen Xiaojun thought about the actions of her best friend's brother-in-law and could not say much. She couldn't help but sigh. "Men always like to say, 'I will provide for you,' but when their wives really need it, they hate their wives and scold them completely. Once we women get married, we not only have to pay for the family's needs, but we also have to suffer from all kinds of misunderstandings. It's so unfair. I think your sister should get a job. We women must be financially independent. When we have money, we can stand up straight without fear.”

Just as she said that, her eyebrows furrowed and she looked at her in confusion, "Why did your sister let you move in?"

"Because I'm married."

"Oh, uh, what? You're married? You don't even have a boyfriend, who are you marrying?" Shen Xiaojun nodded at first, but then she looked at her in surprise and her voice rising.

She knew that she couldn't hide these things from her. So Hai Tong told her everything.

Shen Xiaojun stared at her for a long time and then smacked Hai Tong's forehead. She said, "You're really something, aren't you! How dare you get a marriage certificate on your first date? If you can't find a place to live, you can move into my house. I have many empty rooms in my house. If you want to marry someone, you can also find my cousin!"
