Chapter 664: 664: Going to the Family Mansion
Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
âMoreover, didnât Cindy marry into the Zhekova Family? We donât need to spend our own money on a house. When the time comes, weâll ask Cindy for money. Can Cindy really leave us without a place to stay when we come to Belfard? That would be too disgraceful and something to be laughed at. If she doesnât want to lose face, she has to arrange everything for us and save us a lot of money.â
Christy Xenos nodded, âExactly, we donât need to buy a house ourselves. Before, Cindy said she had no money, so we didnât argue with her. But now sheâs the daughter-in-law of the Zhekova Family, and she has so much money that she canât spend it all for generations. Canât she spare a little money to buy us a house? If she doesnât buy it, sheâs being unfilial!â
After finishing, Christy asked Joshua Clarke for his opinion: âDonât you think so? We traveled all the way to Belfard, and she didnât even arrange a place for us. Weâve been here for several days, and she knows that, but do you see her coming to find us while weâre staying in the hotel?â
Joshua hesitated: âMaybe she doesnât know where weâre staying? Wendy, have you told her?â
âEnough!â Christy immediately retorted, âEven if we didnât tell her, how could she not know? Last time we came to Belfard, we didnât even have her contact information, but she managed to find us quite easily. Now that sheâs the Young Madam of the Zhekova Family, wouldnât it be easy for her to find out where weâre staying?â
âIt all depends on whether she has the heart to do so! She simply doesnât care about us and doesnât want to see us. Weâve been in Belfard for a while now. Has she ever visited us? Has she called to ask about us? Even just to say hello would have been something,â Christy said.
âWell, it may be difficult for her. Didnât Wendy tell us the other day? Adrian Zhekova himself said that the Zhekova Familyâs attitude is to not let her have any connection with us. In this case, itâs probably difficult for her to buy us a house,â Joshua spoke up for Cindy.
âWhatâs so difficult about it? A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Since she married into the Zhekova Family, how could Adrian not give her money? He must give her some pocket money every month, otherwise, the prestigious Young Madam of the Zhekova Family would look poor and be laughed at!â
âAs the Young Madam of the Zhekova Family, her allowance must be generous. Iâve heard that a wealthy wife on Harbour Island has a monthly allowance of 2 million. As the daughter-in-law of the Zhekova family, can the money she gets per month be less than that of a wealthy family on a small island? I donât believe it!â
âNot to mention taking a little bit from the Zhekova Familyâs wealth, even if she took a little from her own pocket money, it would be enough for us to buy a big house in Belfard. So for Cindy to buy us a house, she doesnât need to beg the Zhekova Family and it wonât be difficult!â
âIt all depends on whether she has the heart to do so for us.â
Joshua was silent for a while, then said: âCindy is a filial child. Since itâs just a small amount for her without asking the Zhekova Family, she wonât be stingy. After all, weâre her family. Can she really ignore us while living in Belfard?â
Christy didnât share Joshuaâs beautiful thoughts, she just sneered: âI hope so. You better not put too much hope in Cindy. Has your little daughter ever disappointed you?â
Joshua didnât say anything because he couldnât argue.
Christy stopped talking to him and turned to Wendy, âBy the way, is the time you gave Cindy up?â
Wendy nodded: âI came here because of this. We originally agreed that she would reply to me by 11:30 today, but itâs already 12 oâclock, and she hasnât contacted me.â
Christy spat out in anger, saying, âCindy is just playing with us!â
She also turned back to Joshua to complain: âLook at Cindyâs ingratitude. We clearly told her all this out of kindness, to remind her and let her be on guard. Itâs also to let her know that her family members are on her side, willing to help her and keep her secret, but sheâs still ungrateful!â
Joshua was silent for a while and then asked: âCindy doesnât trust us?â
Christy sneered: âShe doesnât even trust her own family. Wendy, what should we do then?â
âIf we canât persuade Cindy, letâs just go directly to the Zhekova Family Mansion and talk to the elder couple. Weâre not going there to expose Cindyâs babyâs identity and ruin her marriage. Instead, we just want to discuss the matter of the dowry they should offer for marrying Cindy,â Wendy said.
âWe should also let the Zhekova Family know that we value Cindy highly. Otherwise, we wouldnât have come to discuss wedding customs with them. At the same time, let the Zhekova Family know that Cindy has a family in her hometown. Weâve already come to Belfard. Cindy isnât someone they can treat casually.â
âCindy should finally realize our sincerity toward her!â
Surprisingly, Joshua was convinced by Wendyâs ridiculous reasoning and felt that she made perfect sense.
He nodded in agreement, âWhen shall we go?â
It seemed that he was eager to go to the Zhekova Family Mansion to talk to the elder couple as if that would prove their loving intentions toward Cindy.
Wendy smiled with satisfaction: âLetâs go now.â
âSo soon?â Joshua didnât expect Wendyâs decision to be so quick.
Wendy then said: âItâs better to go earlier so we can feel at ease sooner. Besides, Iâve already found out where the Zhekova Family Mansion is. With the influence of the Zhekova Family, they couldnât possibly be unaware that we have come to Belfard. Whatâs more, Adrian saw me with his own eyes that day. Since they all know that we have arrived and havenât visited them yet, wouldnât they think our family is impolite?â
âItâs better to visit them as soon as possible and show our courtesy,â Wendy said.
âYouâre right,â Christy nodded. As long as Wendy said it, no matter what it was, Christy always thought it made perfect sense.
So Christy hurriedly rummaged through her clothes. She didnât bring much with her when she came to Belfard because she planned to buy clothes here.
After all, Nork City was a small city, and Christy thought the styles and brands of clothes there wouldnât be as diverse as in Belfard.
So when she came to Belfard and had nothing else to do, she went shopping in the mall and bought quite a few expensive clothes.
As for whether they were good-looking or not, thatâs another story.
Ever since the Clarke Family had money, Christy had been shopping based solely on price.
As long as it was expensive, it was good. Of course, there were some issues with her aesthetic taste.
Being expensive doesnât necessarily mean looking good.
Christyâs lack of taste was probably deeply ingrained in her.
Christy pulled out a fur coat, a cashmere sweater, wool trousers, and a pair of knee-high boots.
When Wendy saw the outfit that Christy had chosen for her, the corners of her eyes twitched.
However, she couldnât say anything since Christy always believed that her taste was good.
