My Brilliant CEO Wife

"Mom and Dad, these are gifts Yun Hao bought for you!" Chu Yan took the gifts from Yun Hao and placed them on the coffee table in front of them. She picked out a particularly delicate gift box and handed it to her mother.

"Haha, alright, alright, have a seat first. Dinner is almost ready. I'll go check and wash my hands, then we can eat!" Chu Yan's mother seemed kind and gentle. Though she was over fifty, it was clear that she must have been a beauty when she was young; otherwise, with Chu Tianxiang's genes alone, they wouldn't have had such a beautiful daughter like Chu Yan.

"Xiao Yun, what do you do for a living?" As soon as Chu Yan's mother left, her aunt was the first to ask.

"Oh, I'm a marketing assistant at a company."

"Assistant, huh? How much do you make? What other family do you have? When do you plan to buy Xiao Yan a villa? Surely you don't want to live in Xiao Yan's villa forever, right?" If the first question was probing, the following ones were like a barrage, each one laced with scornful sarcasm!

"A monthly salary of over six thousand, as for family, I have an older sister and a younger sister. Regarding the villa, it'll depend on when my wife wants it—if she does, I can buy one for her anytime. If Xiao Yan permits it, I don't mind living in her place forever!" Yun Hao smiled slightly, though aware of the aunt's hostility towards him. But so what?

"I'll just answer whatever you ask; I'm living with Chu Yan, not with you people!"

"Hmph, boasting about buying a villa with a monthly salary of over six thousand—what a joke!" Feng Ming snorted disdainfully, looking scornfully at Yun Hao.

"How can you talk like that, Xiao Ming? No matter how you put it, Xiao Yun is your brother-in-law. He simply doesn't understand. Maybe before marrying Xiao Yan, he hadn't seen a villa yet!" Although Chu Yan's aunt seemed to be reprimanding Feng Ming, anyone could hear the sarcasm in her words.

Chu Tianxiang watched the ridicule between these two but said nothing. Though Liu Mengqi had given him fifty million US dollars, as the saying goes, people's greed is insatiable. Moreover, his company needed more funding and resources to expand, so he had other plans in mind!

Yun Hao naturally noticed Chu Tianxiang's change in expression but didn't mind. After all, his wife was already his, and no one could take her away. Besides, his wife was standing by him!

"That's enough. You don't need to lecture about what kind of person Yun Hao is!" Chu Yan's words were direct and relatively impolite, clearly showing that her relationship with these people, including Chu Tianxiang, wasn't harmonious.

"Enough talk, come and eat. Xiao Yan, today there are all the dishes you love, and I've made boiled fish for you myself!" Chu Yan's mother came out of the kitchen, smiling and inviting everyone.

Indeed, the dishes were quite delicious, at least Yun Hao was very pleased as he ate. As he ate and drank, he kept picking food for Chu Yan—it had only been a few minutes, and Chu Yan's bowl was piled high!

Chu Yan was speechless internally, thinking, 'This is my home, okay? Why does it feel like visiting the in-laws?' However, despite this, her heart was joyful. At least Yun Hao had her in mind, didn't he? Unconsciously, Chu Yan started to accept Yun Hao and, over three days, grew accustomed to having someone by her side who occasionally acted like a rogue and took minor advantages!

Seeing this, Chu Yan's mother was delighted. Initially, she had worried about Chu Yan's happiness, but now it seemed harmonious. However, not everyone was happy.

"Xiao Yan, Fu Jiajun asked me to tell you that there will be an auction in Beijing next week where big figures from Beijing and even across the country will attend. He said he could introduce you to some major clients!" Feng Ming suddenly interjected to Chu Yan, indeed his main purpose this time was to deliver Fu Jiajun's message!

Upon hearing Feng Ming's words, Chu Yan instinctively glanced at Yun Hao, but Yun Hao wasn't paying attention. Instead, he was whispering happily to her mother.

Actually, how could Yun Hao not hear Feng Ming? But to him, Fu Jiajun was just trash. He'd deal with him however he wanted, as long as his wife's heart was with him, no problem existed!

"Yes, Xiao Yan, you should go next week—not only your company needs Mr. Fu's help, but even the family company needs the Fu Family's support. You should go and build connections!" Seeing Chu Yan remain silent, Chu Tianxiang began persuading her.

"You don't need to worry about my affairs, and don't involve me in your company matters!" Not knowing why, seeing Yun Hao's lack of reaction, Chu Yan became inexplicably angry and addressed Chu Tianxiang and the others without raising her head.

"What kind of talk is that? Saying not to involve you! Aren't you my daughter? Don't forget who gave you the money to start your company! And also remember that the villa was bought for you by the family!" Hearing Chu Yan's words, Chu Tianxiang immediately got angry, asserting his authority as the Chu Family's patriarch. He slammed his chopsticks on the table, glaring at Chu Yan.

"Remember I'm your daughter when you need me? The money for the villa and starting the company was given to every Chu Family child upon reaching adulthood. And also, you only gave me one million—the money for the villa was earned after I started the company!" Chu Yan felt angry, dissatisfied with the man who, though her father, never fulfilled his paternal responsibilities!

For what reason? Even if it's biased towards males, isn't this too much? Before, he sold her to Yun Hao for money, and now he wanted to sell her to Fu Jiajun! What did he take her for, Chu Tianxiang's cash cow?

"Haha, looks like you've grown wings. Just because you got married, don't think I can't control you. I'm telling you, if you dare not help me build connections, I'll reclaim the family's forty percent stake in your company, or sell all my shares according to your current company's market value, which would be worth at least five million US dollars! Then let's see how you can support it!"

Chu Tianxiang sneered, presumably planned in advance, speaking as he stood up and fetched a document which was undoubtedly the forty percent stake in Chu Yan's company!
