Yao Nan gave her a soft look, indicating not to order anything too expensive. Xu Bin kissed her on the cheek before calling the waiter.

“My mom loves beef, so I’ll have one of this grilled Wagyu beef platter, and an extra serving of beef tongue.”

“My wife loves seafood, so please steam this local lobster and make salt and pepper sauce for the head separately.”

“Honey, you love mantis shrimp the most, give me a serving of ‘rich mantis shrimp’…”

Yao Nan was a little alarmed by this, but luckily Xu Bin glanced at the menu and said, “Add a vegetable salad, and then give each of these three ladies a bowl of abalone and ginseng soup.”

“If you’d like some wine, please bring me a bottle of red wine.”

After ordering, Yanzi couldn’t help but say, “Sister Yu, your son-in-law is much more generous than you.”

“Nonsense, my son-in-law isn’t short of money.”

Shen Ruyu immediately retorted, “But it’s not worth it for you to spend this money.”

Xu Bin knew that today was a good opportunity to please his mother-in-law and increase her favorability, and it was also his turn to shine, so he had to seize every opportunity.

“Mom, you don’t need to say that. Sister Yanzi is your good friend and an elder we should respect.”

As Xu Bin handed the first batch of side dishes to them, he said gently, “Even the poor should have a way to make a living. Since you’re already out here spending money, there’s no need to skimp on it.”

“Wow, your son-in-law makes a good point.”

The swallow gave a thumbs-up.

The wine is served before the food, and while the price is high, the service is impeccable. It’s poured for you one by one in high-end wine glasses, so it seems like it would be a sin to refuse it for any reason.

The first dish was steamed lobster, and Xu Bin directly put a portion into his wife’s bowl.

Knowing that she was heartbroken and needed some comfort, Shen Ruyu started to act up: “Mom is still sitting here, and all she cares about is your wife.”

Yanzi, who was even more mischievous than her, immediately said sarcastically, “You’re jealous of your daughter? Are you even human? I’m just wondering why you always said that your son-in-law was useless and annoying. The two of you love each other so much, are you going to break up the family?”

Yao Nan said shyly, “Aunt Yanzi, maybe I’m not good at expressing myself, but Binbin is very good to me, I just don’t know how to express it.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruyu blushed and glared at her, saying, “I was afraid that telling the truth would upset you, you widowed bitch.”

“I’m a widow, you’re just living like a widow, where does your sense of superiority come from?”

Yanzi rolled her eyes at her.

As the dishes were served one after another, while they chatted and joked, Xu Bin and his wife quietly showed their affection. This small gesture had already deeply moved his wife, Yao Nan.

After all, in her and others’ eyes, she was still the same ugly woman she used to be, who had never received such tender care from her husband.

The dishes were all served, and after finishing one bottle of wine, they ordered another. Yanzi swirled her wine glass and said, “By the way, Xu Bin, your mother said that you’re financially independent now. If you have a way to make money, why don’t you take her with you?”

“He borrowed several thousand yuan from me at the beginning of the year, and I just paid him back a couple of days ago.”

Shen Ruyu got a little angry when she heard this, and her daughter Yao Nan looked a little guilty. She subconsciously looked at Xu Bin again.

Xu Bin clinked glasses with her, took a sip, put down his glass, lit a cigarette, and said casually, “Sister, all investments carry risks.”

Actually, his mother-in-law was in a panic at this time. Xu Bin didn’t even know that she had asked him to borrow money at the beginning of the year. It was definitely not for living expenses, but because he had lost money gambling. To put it bluntly, it was greatly affecting her image as a mother in her daughter’s eyes.

“Is there a risk??”

Swallow chuckled and said, “Is risk greater than gambling?”

“They’re not the same, are they?”

Xu Bin thought for a moment and said, “If the investment makes money, everyone will be happy. If it loses money, they will blame me. So I do these things myself.”

“Even my wife doesn’t know!”

Yanzi, slightly unconvinced, said, “How do you know it’s a sure thing? You’ve only made that much money, yet you still dare to invest.”

“Well… it seems you wouldn’t understand even if I explained it to you!”

Xu Bin maintained his polite language throughout, but his tone was one of humble disdain. Shen Ruyu silently gave him a thumbs up, and the favorability rating was adjusted, but the data wouldn’t be available immediately.

“I don’t understand it yet. Forget about the stock market, I’ve been scammed by those blockchain companies before.”

Yanzi was in high spirits.

“Altcoins are scams, they scam a lot of people, that’s normal.”

Xu Bin said casually, “Sister Yanzi, you don’t know enough. Who would bother with those counterfeit cryptocurrencies?”

“Did you know how to use blockchain contracts when they first came out?”

How do you play?

Yanzi was a little confused, and subconsciously asked the same question.

“A leveraged contract costs 5,000, and you could lose everything at any time, but once it’s wiped out, you won’t be in debt.”

Xu Bin didn’t really understand either, but he casually picked up a deep, cold laugh and said, “I lost ten hands, and my 50,000 yuan was completely wiped out. With the leverage, you could win a million yuan in one go.”

Yanzi was stunned by what she heard. In fact, not only her, but Yao Nan and her daughter also didn’t understand.

Because Xu Bin was talking nonsense, Shen Ruyu was very satisfied when she saw her expression, and immediately said: “Alright, what do you know, you woman? Do you understand the business my son-in-law is doing?”

“Bullshit, what don’t I know? I know Bitcoin, I know Ethereum.”

“Back then, I didn’t think things through and didn’t invest enough, otherwise I would be financially independent by now.”

Xu Bin silently poured her a drink, and Yanzi also started drinking. After taking a sip, she became a little agitated and said, “I’m talking to your son-in-law, why are you spouting so much nonsense?”

At this point, Yanzi got a little excited and looked at Xu Bin, saying, “You’re not well-educated, are you? Your mother-in-law scolds you every day for being uncultured and unable to get into a good company. Why are you so concerned about this?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruyu lowered her head almost in shame, mainly because Yao Nan’s gaze towards her was somewhat angry.

A woman’s jealousy is terrifying. Yanzi immediately added, “If you were so successful, why would you be a live-in son-in-law? Your mother-in-law scolds you every day, and why did you even go to Xinhui Real Estate?!”

“I have a friend who works at Xinhui Real Estate. You’re just a security guard there, acting like some kind of general manager!!”

“You think you’re so great? Are you really so great that you’d be a security guard earning that paltry sum of money?”

“Listen to your aunt, don’t be like your mother and try to put on a show of wealth. Is this money from some dubious source?”
