Before the banquet began, Mr. Watson had specially asked the middleman about the Le family. He had even paid a small sum of money to give them an expensive gift to get them to open their mouths and reveal a little information.
...According to the middleman, Father Le was born into a rich family with three generations. When he was young, his family’s company almost went bankrupt. It took Father Le and Mother Le, and the eldest sons, several years to save the company. It was thriving and the company had expanded several times compared to when they took over.
Seeing that the company was developing well, Mama Le returned to her family.
Mr. Watson was especially envious of them. Papa Le was able to make a powerful woman like Mama Le willingly return to the family and not interfere in the company’s affairs.
He thought that from this perspective, if his wife had such a high level of awareness, then he should be willing to give his wife more face, and their relationship wouldn’t be so quickly consumed.
If Papa Le knew what he was thinking, he would probably scold him for being a selfish scumbag. Unfortunately, Papa Le didn’t know. However, what he had just said didn’t sound pleasant to Papa Le.
So, he defended Mama Le.
“My wife studied fashion design. Her dream has always been to be a fashion designer. Unfortunately, because of me, she gave up her dream and accompanied me to do things that she didn’t like. When my predicament was resolved, she left and returned to her favorite field.”
It was a pity that Mother Le had wasted so many years in her prime. When she wanted to start over, she found that she couldn’t keep up with the development of the industry. However, Mama Le didn’t give up. Fashion and clothing were her favorite things, so she took a different approach and opened a fashion design company with her friend.
The current manager of the company was her good friend. Mama Le had been studying and improving all these years, so she was still active in the industry as a designer. However, she was getting more and more free now, so she had more free time. To outsiders, she looked like a useless housewife with nothing to do.
However, everyone in the Le family knew that Mama Le had her own pursuits, her own career, her responsibility to the family, and her freedom to live. She was a very powerful and admirable woman.
“My wife is a very capable person,” said Papa Le proudly. “She helped me a lot when I was in business. I wouldn’t be who I am now without her. When she returned to her field of expertise, she was still shining brightly. And to be honest, although my wife looks idle, the money she earns is actually not less than mine.”
Mama Le had a really good business talent. The fashion design company had been established for more than ten years and had been developing well. The business continued to grow, and as a designer, her business skills were also steadily improving.
Over the years, she had invested the money she earned to make more money. She rarely failed, and the rate of return was very high. The money she earned even far exceeded her main business.
The reason why Big Brother Le was so good at investing in this area was because “like mother, like son”. However, compared to Big Brother Le, who chose to invest in the emerging industry that was more popular, Mama Le’s choice was more stable, so it didn’t look conspicuous.
However, he didn’t need to tell anyone the details. Anyway, Papa Le just emphasized that Mama Le wasn’t an ordinary housewife. She was a very capable person.
“So this is the reason why your husband and wife relationship has been harmonious for so many years?” Mr. Watson thought that he had figured out the mystery behind it. “If there are no interests involved between husband and wife, there will indeed be fewer disputes.”
Papa Le raised his eyebrows and said matter-of-factly,
“What’s there to argue about between husband and wife? Isn’t my money her money?
As for whether Mama Le’s money was his, he would have to ask her personally. Papa Le cleverly skipped this point.
He spoke to Mr. Watson earnestly as if he had been through it before.
“It’s fine if you’re scheming with others outside, but how tiring would it be if you still have to scheme against your wife when you return home? What’s the motivation to live like this? No matter how much money you earn, it’s meaningless.”
Mr. Watson suspected that Papa Le was pointing fingers at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree, and he had evidence to prove it..
