Chapter 035 People Fear Fame
"Look at our daughter's acting skills, she's already in character!" Shen Yunlan said with a smile.
"Then I'm relieved. The old lady definitely won't be able to find out!" Su Zhengwu said, then frowned and asked, "What about our daughter? Should we go pick her up?"
"No need to pick her up, let's go home first. Our daughter will come home by herself after the play!" Shen Yunlan said with a smile.
Su Zhengwu nodded and drove away.
Lin Fan hurriedly caught up with Su Ruowei and coaxed her for a long time before she came back. Before going home, the two went to the 4S store to pick up a new car. At Su Ruowei's request, Lin Fan bought a domestic car, which cost just over 10 yuan.
Upon returning home, Lin Fan noticed several unfamiliar faces in the living room, though he couldn't quite place where he had seen them before.
"Ruowei, say hello to your uncle and aunt." Shen Yunlan smiled as she stood up and walked over to Su Ruowei.
Hearing Shen Yunlan's words, Lin Fan suddenly remembered that the middle-aged man sitting in the living room was Su Ruowei's uncle, and Shen Yunlan's older brother. The aunt was Su Ruowei's aunt and Shen Yunlan's sister-in-law.
There was also a chubby young man in his early twenties, who was Shen Yunlan's nephew.
When Shen Yunlan first married into the Su family, the three of them would come to visit almost every year. However, after they learned that Su Zhengwu was not very capable, they came less and less often, and eventually they lost contact altogether. Shen Yunlan could only see them occasionally when she returned to her parents' home.
Their purpose in coming here was to take advantage of the fact that they had heard that Su Ruowei had become the project manager of Shancheng Group.
Of course, the source of the news was the photo that Shen Yunlan posted in the Shen family group chat.
Su Ruowei's uncle is named Shen Bufan. His name is unusual, but he is a petty, timid man who is known for his cowardice. He also likes to drink, and when he drinks, he talks nonsense and gets into trouble quite a bit.
As for Su Ruowei's aunt, named Wang Lanhua, she was just as sharp-tongued and mean as Shen Yunlan, and she cared about her reputation even more than Shen Yunlan.
These two eccentric kids, one named Shen Cong, is the number one mama's boy in the surrounding area. Once, when he went on a blind date, the other person asked Shen Cong if he wanted to go to the movies that night. Such an obvious hint, and what did he do? Shen Cong said, "I'll ask my mom."
"Hello, Uncle. Hello, Aunt." Su Ruowei was extremely reluctant, but she still greeted them with a smile.
"You've grown so much, you've really made something of yourself!" Shen Bufan said politely. Su Ruowei was already 26, so it wasn't inappropriate for him to say that.
Su Ruowei smiled awkwardly, and Wang Lanhua came up again and said:
"Ruowei, I heard you became the project leader, and your aunt is genuinely happy for you!"
"Thank you, Auntie." Su Ruowei only wanted to get back to her room and avoid her relatives' questions.
Lin Fan noticed this and stepped forward to help Su Ruowei out of her predicament: "Ruowei, isn't there still a plan that hasn't been finalized for the cooperation? Shancheng Group needs it urgently tomorrow."
Su Ruowei immediately understood Lin Fan's intention and said, "Ah, right, I almost forgot, I'm going back to work on the plan!"
Su Ruowei had just taken a step when Wang Lanhua stopped her: "When can't we do the plan? It's only this early. Let's eat first."
Su Ruowei glanced down at her watch; it was already nine o'clock at night.
“Yeah, it’s still early. Let’s eat first and then go,” Shen Bufan agreed.
Lin Fan stepped forward and said, "Ruowei and the others just came back from eating. Uncle and Aunt, if you are hungry, I will make you something."
Wang Lanhua glanced at Lin Fan and said to Shen Yunlan in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, your nanny is quite sensible, you must have spent a lot of money to hire her."
Shen Yunlan's face darkened, and she said to Lin Fan, "What right do you have! Get out of here right now."
Shen Yunlan then glanced at Wang Lanhua and said, "We did just eat at a fancy restaurant. If you're hungry, I'll treat you to another meal."
Shen Bufan deliberately said, "That's too much trouble. We can just eat at home."
"No trouble at all. My family eats out every day. We'd be so used to it if we didn't eat out. Besides, we know that restaurant very well," Shen Yunlan said, trying to save face. This meal, hosted by Su Yulin, was the first time she'd eaten at a restaurant in six months.
“Since my sister has said so, we shall respectfully comply!” Wang Lanhua said with a smile.
"Mom, which outfit do you think looks best on me at the restaurant?" Shen Cong asked.
"This one, please!" Wang Lanhua replied.
"Okay mom!"
"Let's go, what are we waiting for?" Shen Bufan said.
Shen Yunlan covered her face and laughed, "I wasn't waiting for anything. I was thinking about which car to drive. After thinking it over, I decided to drive the Audi!"
"You guys eat well!" Lin Fan said helplessly, then returned to his room.
Upon arriving at the parking space in the residential area, Su Zhengwu led everyone to Lin Fan's Audi.
"Wow! It really is an Audi." Shen Cong didn't get in the car right away, but instead sat on the hood and took a selfie, which he then posted on his WeChat Moments.
Shen Bufan and Wang Lanhua's eyes lit up when they saw the Audi. They secretly sighed at Shen Yunlan's good fortune; she had married into the Su family and was now living a life of luxury!
"Brother, sister-in-law, don't just stand there, get in the car!" Shen Yunlan said with a smile, opened the car door and plopped down in the passenger seat.
Shen Bufan, Wang Lanhua, and Shen Cong also sat in the back seat.
"Let's go to the restaurant we just ate at!" Shen Yunlan instructed Su Zhengwu. After all, she didn't know many restaurants, and she still had a strong impression of the one she had just left.
On the way, although Wang Lanhua and Shen Bufan sat together, they communicated via WeChat.
Wang Lanhua was jealous of Shen Yunlan's good fortune and complained that Shen Bufan was useless. Under Shen Bufan's persuasion, the two finally reached a consensus and decided to squeeze Shen Yunlan out of money today!
The restaurant where Su Yulin treated Su Ruowei's family to dinner was quite expensive, a five-star hotel, and the bill for just one table was 88,000 yuan.
Now, Shen Yunlan brought Shen Bufan's family here, boasting that she was a regular customer. But when she entered the private room and heard the waiter ask who paid for the reservation, Shen Yunlan was dumbfounded.
Shen Yunlan inwardly grumbled, "Why do I have to pay for a room?" After listing all the faults of this fancy hotel, she still smiled and gestured to the waiter:
"I'll pay!"
The waiter approached Shen Yunlan with a professional smile and said, "Hello, the room fee is 2000 in total. How would you like to pay?"
"I'll transfer it to you via WeChat." After Shen Yunlan finished speaking, a million curses ran through her mind.
After the money was transferred, Shen Bufan's family praised Shen Yunlan's generosity, which made Shen Yunlan feel much better.
"It's all just a small amount of money! You guys order, Zhengwu and I have already eaten," Shen Yunlan said with a smile.
“Then we won’t stand on ceremony.” Wang Lanhua picked up the menu and said to Shen Cong, “Son, order more; you’re growing right now.”
In the next ten minutes or so, Shen Yunlan witnessed what it meant to be a reincarnated starving ghost. Shen Bufan and his family of three ordered even more food than the table that Su Yulin had just treated them to.
