Chapter 191: Greetings, Sister-In-Law!

Mo Jiangye put his arm around her shoulders and took her into his embrace as he introduced them. “Come and meet my lover.”

She threw a sharp look at him abruptly and muttered, “Mo Jiangye, what are you doing?”

“Oh, my… How exciting!” Ye Erruo briskly pulled a chair next to Ye Erruo. While staring at the screen with the protagonist, she was in full view of the men on the other end of the video call.

They looked stunned to see a new face, and after a momentary pause, they greeted her in unison. “Greetings, Second Sister-In-Law!”

“No, no. You got it wrong. There is no Second Sister-In-Law. Our boss only has one wife.” Xu Xu’s voice could be heard booming from the laptop.

“Oh, really? Hi, waitress. You are blocking our view. We want to see our sister-in-law.”

“Can you please move your head away?”

“Missy, you are blocking the screen. Can you please move your head to the side?”

Numerous disparaging voices spoke up against Yao Tiao.

Her face looked absolutely acrimonious by now. What the hell? In what way am I blocking Xiao Ruo? How can I possibly obstruct their view when I’m not standing in front of her? They clearly despised her.

“Sister-in-law, are you into VX[1]? What’s your account number?”

While smiling faintly, the man instantly sent a string of digits to them.

A second later, she gained hundreds of new account followers. As he tapped lightly on her phone screen to accept the friend requests one after another, money in the form of an electronic red packet was transferred to her account systematically.

He passed the phone back to her. “Everyone’s requests have been accepted. All the money has been received in good order.”

The woman’s eyes lit up at his words. She had reaped plenty today.

“Thank you all,” she responded with a smile.

“You’re welcome! We’ll prepare an even bigger red packet for your wedding to our boss.”

“When are you planning to get married to him?”

“Why don’t you have the wedding soon? Let me see… Next month’s sixth day will be auspicious.” Now that their boss had finally taken an interest in a woman, they would do whatever they could to make this union a reality.

“That’s right, that’s right! Boss, I have already prepared all that you’ll need for this wedding!”

“The groomsmen are on standby, the red packets have been prepared, and the bridal car is all set for your use!”

“Chey, a bridal car would be too lowly for our sister-in-law. She ought to be received in an airplane or an armored tank!”

“I’ll get the bridal gown and veil! Eh… Sister-in-law, what are your measurements?”

“…”

“Measurements?” Mo Jiangye’s voice rose in pitch at this question.

Everyone quietened down instantly on the other end of the video call.

“Yes! That’s what I asked.”

A moment later, that chap was kicked out of the video conference without reservation as the man’s slender fingers drummed on the keyboard.

“So, you have all gotten to know her by now, right?” he drawled.

“Yes, we know her now.”

“Boss, when are you going to organize a gathering so we can meet her in person?”

“You can meet her at our wedding,” he replied with a beam.

“Chief, shouldn’t you give us a chance to meet her earlier?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

PLOP! The man snapped the laptop shut.

Their assignment had been to get to know his wife. Now that they had seen her, the mission had been accomplished and it was time for them to get lost.

Ye Erruo was rendered speechless.

“I hadn’t sent my greetings yet.” Based on the terms of endearment they used, she reckoned that they were his band of brothers.

“It wasn’t necessary,” he remarked gently.

“Now that you have received their money, you can change your VX number!”

“Why is that?”

He took the phone from her. “If you don’t, we’ll just blacklist them from your account.”

They would definitely try to harass her. If she was not planning on changing her number, then the only other way to prevent that from happening would be to blacklist them from her number.

Yao Tiao looked at her friend with envy in her eyes. Upon seeing Ye Erruo receive tens of thousands of yuan per transaction, she could not help feeling sorry for herself. All she had in her VX account was a few miserable cents from the red packets she had snatched from the games hosted in the WeChat community.

Mo Jiangye’s gaze suddenly fell on Lawyer Zhang. “Where’s your gift?”

[1] ‘VX’ stands for WeChat. WeChat in Chinese is pronounced as ‘wei xin’. As most Chinese people pronounce ‘W’ as ‘V’, the acronym is shrunk to ‘VX’ instead.
