Fang Dahai immediately said, "What about me? What about us? After all, Sister-in-law was introduced by me, right? I may not have contributed much, but I’ve certainly put in some effort."
Xi Shanshan rolled her eyes at him and sighed, "Considering how hard General Fang is working, let’s go together."
With that, she grabbed Su Mingxian's arm excitedly and said, "Sister Xian, let’s hurry up and leave."
Su Mingxian was dragged away by Xi Shanshan, still wanting to take a good look at the newly bought house.
"Shanshan, is it really okay to leave during work hours just like that?"
Xi Shanshan hopped into the car with a cheerful smile and replied, "What’s the big deal? You see, I’m the one who sold the house."
Then she added with a smug expression, "I even have a commission now, enough to treat you all to a nice meal."
She winked playfully afterward.
Su Mingxian couldn’t help but chuckle; was it really appropriate to say that in front of her?
Fang Dahai turned to her and asked, "Miss Xi, where are we going?"
"DeDa Western Restaurant."
As soon as she said that, Fang Dahai's eyes lit up. "Oh, great! It’s been a while since I had Western food. Today, I’ll enjoy a meal thanks to Sister-in-law."
The group chatted and laughed together. Shen Chi caught a glimpse of Su Mingxian's smiling face in the rearview mirror and felt his lips curl up slightly as well.
Xi Shanshan was a lively and energetic person. "Sister Xian, is that really your husband?"
Su Mingxian smiled politely, thinking to herself that soon he wouldn't be.
Seeing this, Xi Shanshan pouted and said, "You must be so bored being married to him."
Shen Chi remained silent, his expression cold.
"Ahem—" Fang Dahai cleared his throat and then glanced at Shen Chi's stern face with a smile.
Su Mingxian could no longer pretend to be indifferent and could only respond with a forced smile, "It's not too bad."
"Not too bad? What do you mean by that?" Xi Shanshan seemed oblivious to everyone else's reactions, indignantly stating, "If a man isn't gentle and considerate, doesn't know how to make a woman happy, can't cook or tidy up the house, then what good are they?"
Fang Dahai understood now; this was directed at him.
Meanwhile, Shen Chi frowned directly at her words.
This girl had a way of speaking that was shocking; what era was she living in?
Su Mingxian couldn't help but look at Xi Shanshan with newfound admiration. "The new ideas of modern women! Shanshan, your thoughts are quite avant-garde."
“Sister Xian, you think so too, right?” Xi Shanshan seemed to have found a kindred spirit. “I mean, what era are we in? Still clinging to the idea of men working outside and women staying at home, judging modern women by outdated standards of virtue. It’s just ridiculous.”
Su Mingxian could only remain silent.
What could she say? This kind of outdated thinking had been around for ages. Not only now, but even thirty years from now, this problem would still persist.
Meanwhile, Xi Shanshan grew more excited as she spoke, pulling her along. “By the way, Sister Xian, how about we go karaoke tonight? I have a good friend who just returned to the country; it would be great for us to catch up together.”
Su Mingxian felt a flicker of interest at the mention of karaoke. She had never been to such a place before.
Just then, Shen Chi suddenly cleared his throat loudly.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he asked, “How much longer until we arrive?”
Fang Dahai quickly chimed in, “Oh, we’ll be there soon.”
“If we’re talking about DeDa Western Restaurant, that’s one of the most famous Western restaurants in Shanghai. Their Philip Steak is absolutely top-notch; everyone from Old Shanghai knows about it.” Fang Dahai continued without pause until they finally parked the car and took a breath. “Sister-in-law, we’ve arrived.”
“Use your own money,” Xi Shanshan scoffed, shooting him a glare. “Hmph, Sister Xian, let’s go.”
