The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

"Grandma, I encountered some issues today, but I will definitely find time to talk with Mr. Hang again."

Xu Yunxiao said hastily.

The old grandma shook her head and said, "No need, Changjian has already settled things with Mr. Hang. The entire building materials supply for Water Cloud Gorge is to be handled by our Xu family. This is a project worth over a hundred million. Once the agreement is reached, our Xu family will squeeze out the Sun Family and successfully ascend to the second tier of Lake City's major families, and then it won't be far from the first tier!"

Her eyes gleamed with fervent light as she spoke.

Entering the ranks of the wealthy was her lifelong dream.

"Is that so? That's really great!"

Xu Yunxiao also expressed her joy.

She also knew that Hengyuan Group was very powerful. If they handed over all the building materials to the Xu family, this cooperation would not only bring in a handsome profit for the Xu family, but it would also enhance their status in Lake City.

"However, there is also a slight difficulty."

The old grandma sighed softly and said, "As you know, our Xu family's foundation in the building materials industry is rather thin, which makes Mr. Hang very worried that we don't have the capability to take the order."

"Yes, that's true. After all, they need a huge amount of building materials, and they need a stable supplier." Xu Yunxiao pondered and then said, "Grandma, do you want me to fund Brother Changjian's company? But as you know, I am currently in the investment phase and my financial chain is quite tight…"

"No, there's no need to borrow money."

The old grandma waved her hand.

Xu Yunxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief; although the company's market value had grown, the financial chain couldn't be broken.

"I was thinking, perhaps for now you could transfer a portion of your company's shares to Changjian Company. This way, we could prove to Mr. Hang that Changjian's building materials company has the capacity to take on that order. When the agreement is signed and everything falls into place, you could move your shares back. What do you think?"

The old grandma proposed.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunxiao's heart skipped a beat.

These shares were hard-won and were the foundation to keep Shuimu Company afloat; she couldn't give them up.

"Grandma, you know the difficulties I am facing right now..."

Xu Yunxiao wanted to refuse.

But before she could finish, Xu Changjian interjected, "Yunxiao, my sister, I have no other choice now, and I must turn to you for help. Rest assured, I will merely be borrowing the shares for a while. When the time comes, they'll be returned intact, no, I'll even give you some shares from my own company. I'm doing this not for me, but for the development of our Xu family!"

"Yes!"

Her uncle continued, "We several families have also transferred our respective shares to Changjian. It's all for our Xu family."

"Right, it's all for the Xu family to reach new heights!"

Others followed suit.

"But, but..."

Xu Yunxiao bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't do this..."

"Yunxiao."

At this moment, the old grandma started to cry, saying, "Grandma knows that I wasn't good to you before, and that has made you cautious. It's all my fault, I shouldn't have treated you that way, sob sob…"

Seeing her cry, Xu Yunxiao, who was already soft-hearted, felt her heart tighten and her nose sting with emotion.

"Grandma swears, you won't be treated unfairly. Right now it's all for the Xu family to prosper. Once Changjian Company is settled, the shares will be returned to you." The old grandma continued to wipe her tears and said, "How about I write you a guarantee?"

"Grandma..."

The others comforted the old grandma, then said to Xu Yunxiao, "Yunxiao, it's not easy for us to live in harmony as one family. If we fall out over such a small matter, it won't be worth it. Grandma is also getting old; we should all be more accommodating."

In the end.

Seeing the old grandma crying so sorrowfully, Xu Yunxiao lost her resolve. With gritted teeth, she said, "Alright, I agree."

Her dream was to have genuine familial affection.

She had recently just begun to feel the warmth of kinship and didn't want it to vanish over profits.

With those words,

A triumphant smile flickered in the eyes of the old grandma, Xu Changjian, and others...

On the other side.

Qin Feng hummed a cheerful tune as he returned home.

Seeing an extra pair of shoes on the shoe rack at the entrance, and the bathroom looking like someone had just taken a bath with the lingering scent of shower gel, he was instantly excited and muttered, "It must be my wife who's come back after finishing the dumplings."

As he pushed open the door to the bedroom, he had just called out, "Wife."

Suddenly, he saw the person in the bedroom, and it wasn't Xu Yunxiao!

It was... Li Yanyan!

Li Yanyan was Xu Yunxiao's cousin, which made her his cousin-in-law.

"Ah—!"

Li Yanyan screamed at this moment, covering her neckline.

She had just finished bathing, was picking out which nightgown to wear in the room, and hadn't put it on yet when Qin Feng saw everything.

"Hooligan!!"

Li Yanyan cursed in panic.

At this time, the mother-in-law Li Cuilan, who had finished her work on the balcony, hurried over, saw Qin Feng, and her face turned ashen as she scolded: "Who allowed you to come back? Didn't you say you'd stay out? Who let you come back! And you beast, doing such a thing, shameless!"

Qin Feng was about to explain.

Xu Yunxiao returned home right then and saw them arguing, she shouted, feeling tremendously annoyed: "Mom, if you keep this up, I'm going to move out too!!"

"..."

Seeing that she was genuinely angry, Li Cuilan immediately shut her mouth.

The whole Sun Family's good days were all depending on Xu Yunxiao now, they couldn't afford to upset her, let alone let her move out.

Li Yanyan had dressed by this time and came out from the room, saying, "Sis, this isn't Aunt's fault, it's that loser of a husband who deliberately peeped on me, he's nothing but a beast!"

"He's your brother-in-law," said Xu Yunxiao.

"What brother-in-law." Li Yanyan pouted and looked disdainfully at Qin Feng, "Everybody knows he's just a good-for-nothing."

Li Yanyan's family ran a wholesale clothing business, making a couple hundred thousand a year.

Back then, they didn't think much of Li Cuilan's family at all.

Of course, the same was true now.

Even though Li Cuilan's family was part of the Xu family and Xu Yunxiao was a General Manager of a company, everyone knew she only made a fixed salary, with the bulk of the profits staying in grandma's hands.

They didn't know that Xu Yunxiao now owned shares and was even the largest shareholder.

Therefore, they looked down on Qin Feng even more for marrying into the family.

At this point, Xu Yunxiao also felt helpless.

It was almost impossible to change her relatives' perception of Qin Feng in the short term; it could only happen gradually.

As the night deepened.

Everyone was going to bed.

Qin Feng saw that Li Yanyan was still bunking in Xu Yunxiao's room and said in a depressed tone, "Wife, she's not going to sleep in our room, is she?"

Just as he finished speaking.

Li Yanyan got upset and yelled at Qin Feng, "What's it to you if I sleep here for a few days, what do you mean 'your room'? Haven't you been sleeping on the floor all this time? This is my sister's room!"

Xu Yunxiao also explained to him, "Yanyan is staying at our home for a few days, so she'll be sleeping in our room. These past two days, it's been me and mom sharing a room, and dad has been sleeping on the couch in the living room."

"Then why doesn't she sleep in the same room as you?" Qin Feng asked.

"I'm used to sleeping alone."

Li Yanyan interjected first.

"..."

Qin Feng was bewildered; is this how a guest behaves? Sleeping at someone else's home and still being so domineering.

"Then where should I sleep?" he asked with outstretched hands.
