“No, I won’t become a housewife. Lu Qi’s grandmother is a very good person. His family won’t be that far off.”

“Do you know what their family does?” Bai Ying asked.

She had to learn the basic situation of the Lu family. Only then could she decide how to dress and leave a good impression on them.

“They’re all doing small businesses. His brothers are also workers.” Bai Yi had really forgotten to ask this. Thinking about Lu Qi’s appearance, he probably had never relied on his family. Then, his family was probably just an ordinary family.

Bai Ying roughly understood, so she chose a simple white dress.

Bai Ying tried it on and stood in front of the dressing mirror. A bloated woman was covered in a large white dress. The fabric was tight, as if her flesh would explode from her clothes in the next second. Her face without makeup was very yellow under the white clothes.

Bai Yi looked at the disappointment in her sister’s eyes and felt bad.

“Sister, that black one over there is very beautiful and suits you. Do you want to give it a try?”

Bai Ying sensed that Bai Yi was being considerate of her. She nodded and changed into the black one.

She then chose a simple shirt, trousers, and tie. Although the style was a little simpler, the fabric was very high-end. The price added up to three times that of her dress.

When she paid the bill, she hesitated, but she still swiped her card.

Nie Hong’s salary had to be used to paid off the home and car mortgage. A portion of it was also used to manage financial investments. The rest was just right for domestic use, but he did not give Bai Ying any pocket money at all. After buying these two outfits today, Bai Ying would probably have to deduct her food money.

Bai Yi, who was standing by the side, was a little sad. “Sis, since we’re buying clothes to see Lu Qi’s parents, I’ll help you pay.”

Bai Ying shook her head. “No, I can’t use your money. I can’t drag you down. If you save up money, buy a house and car yourself. Don’t spend the money on me… I’m a housewife anyway.”

Bai Yi could not stand it anymore and bought a set of skincare products for Bai Ying.

The two of them shopped for a while more before Bai Ying went home. Today, Nie Hong said that he was coming back for dinner.

“Bai Ying? You actually went out shopping with your sister and left your son at the neighbor’s house?” Nie Hong was furious when he saw Bai Ying carrying a shopping bag. “Look at how much you spent today. How will we live this month?”

Bai Ying shuddered unconsciously. “I went to buy some clothes for when we go eat with my sister’s in-laws.”

“What about these skincare products?”

“My sister bought this.”

When Nie Hong heard this, his expression improved a little. “Then you don’t have to buy clothes for yourself. Take care of yourself and lose weight before buying clothes.”

In the past, Bai Ying had a very good figure and was very beautiful. Now, her face was filled with pimples and she was very bloated. Nie Hong was filled with disdain.

“I won’t be eating at home today. Take the child and eat. I just came back to get something. I’ll go out now.”

Looking at her husband who despised her, Bai Ying sighed. She stood in front of the stove and lit the fire. She heard the door of the house close behind her.

“Brother Hong, you’ve already agreed to eat with your wife. Why have you called me out now?”

In a private room of a private restaurant in Hai City, a woman dressed sexily was leaning on Nie Hong.

She had a pair of seductive fox eyes and wore a seductive leather dress with black silk stockings.

“Don’t mention that disgusting woman. I called you out to eat because I missed you.”

The woman placed her leg on Nie Hong’s lap and looked at him shyly.

“So Brother Hong treats me as a medicine to treat your injuries. I don’t want that. Wouldn’t I be destroying your family like this?”

“Xiangxiang, what do you mean by destroying our family? She was clearly the one who destroyed our love.” Nie Hong hugged the woman and lowered his head to kiss her.

Yu Xiang pushed him away and sat properly with her back facing Nie Hong. “I don’t believe you. Brother Hong is so glib-tongued. How would I know if you’re lying to me?”

“Didn’t I hand over the new projects to you? What’s there to be dissatisfied with? Doesn’t that show that I love you very much?”

Yu Xiang was originally an intern under Nie Hong. Ever since the two of them fell in love secretly, not only had Yu Xiang successfully become an official hire, but she had also become a core member.

But what she wanted was not so simple.

“Alright, don’t be angry anymore.”

A cold feeling landed on Yu Xiang’s neck. She looked down and saw that it was a ruby necklace.
