Chapter 518: A Drastic Change in Personality

Qin Wenze felt the money was a small matter.

Getting her to leave was the important thing.

So when Gao Lan brought it up, he agreed without a moment’s hesitation.

"Alright!"

Gao Lan was naturally happy to hear him agree.

"So how much should we give?"

"Fifty, then." As soon as Qin Wenze named the amount, Gao Lan’s expression soured again.

"You have the nerve to offer fifty?"

Qin Wenze: ...?

’What’s so shameful about fifty?’

’People only made thirty or forty a month at their jobs.’

’If I recall correctly, her older brother’s salary was forty, wasn’t it? And her whole family seemed perfectly happy and proud of that.’

However, all he cared about was getting her to leave.

If it took a little more money, so be it.

"If you think fifty is too little, then let’s make it a hundred."

Seeing her expression improve, Qin Wenze knew that a hundred would work.

So he counted out the hundred from his pocket and handed it over.

Thankfully, after he handed over the hundred, Mrs. Gao left for home the very next day.

This made Qin Wenze let out a sigh of relief.

With his meddling mother-in-law gone from the house, he felt that his home life would at least be much more peaceful.

Gao Lan made lunch.

Ever since marrying into the Qin family, Gao Lan hadn’t been in a kitchen for a long time.

After all, when they were previously at the Qin family home, they had Aunt Li.

Even if she went into the kitchen, at most she would only help with washing and chopping vegetables; the real cook was Aunt Li.

Later, when she was pregnant, it went without saying—she didn’t even step foot in the kitchen anymore.

And recently, it had been her mom doing all the cooking.

Now, suddenly having to cook again—to be honest, the food she made really wasn’t very good.

Besides, someone used to being pampered wasn’t very eager to do this kind of work.

After all, it wasn’t just cooking; now she had to wash the dishes too.

When she thought about her life before and compared it to her life now, she felt that living with the Qin family had been far more comfortable.

"Wenzhe, your mother hasn’t been over in a long time. Why don’t we go visit your parents and grandparents?"

Qin Wenze didn’t really want to go right now.

After all, his mother never looked at him pleasantly whenever he visited.

From time to time, she’d even throw a few barbs his way.

"You only just recovered. It won’t make a difference if we wait a while longer to visit."

Hearing this, Gao Lan’s expression immediately turned sour.

"Qin Wenze, does your mom not want us to visit?"

Qin Wenze frowned. "That’s not it."

"Then why are you stopping me from going?" Gao Lan demanded.

Qin Wenze looked at her. "If you really want to go, then go. How am I stopping you? I was just making a suggestion. I thought it would be hard on you to make the trip."

Gao Lan immediately shot back, "I’m not afraid of a little trouble. Besides, our son has officially been recognized by the family. There should have been a recognition banquet, but your parents haven’t made a single peep about it."

The mere mention of this made Gao Lan furious.

Qin Wenze truly felt that Gao Lan’s personality had completely changed.

"What about a recognition banquet? That’s our business. Besides, when your nephew was officially adopted, weren’t you recuperating? Don’t tell me you wanted to hold a banquet while you were still sick?"

Color drained from Gao Lan’s face.

"What nephew? He’s our son now. It seems you still haven’t accepted him."

Qin Wenze was mentally exhausted.

He took a deep breath. "The adoption is already legally finalized. A recognition banquet is completely unnecessary."

Hearing this, Gao Lan’s voice grew shrill. "No, we have to do it! If we don’t, what will people think? The Qin family has so many relatives—none of them will even know our Yao Hui! He’s already taken the Qin surname now."
