After leaving Champs Elys hot spring villa, Charlie immediately rushed back to Thompson First. He planned to quickly pack his bags and inform his father-in-law, Jacob, and his mother-in-law, Elaine, that he would be rushing to another city tonight to take a look at another client’s Feng Shui.
The couple was used to Charlie's constant travels all the time, so they weren't surprised when they heard the news.
What surprised Charlie was that Elaine was suddenly showing concern for him, saying with a worried expression, “My dear son-in-law, you're always on the road all day long without resting. What if you tire yourself out?”
Being unexpectedly cared for by his mother-in-law made Charlie feel a rare sense of warmth. He smiled and replied, “Mom, you don't need to worry. Although I'm busy outside every day, I don't actually feel tired at all.”
Jacob, who was standing aside, looked at Elaine and sneered, “What do you know? Our dear son-in-law is a Feng Shui master now. Although he's on the move all day long, the people he meets are all big bosses and celebrities. They respect Feng Shui masters even more than their own fathers, so they will definitely care a lot about our dear son-in-law's well-being. They won't let him suffer. If it were ancient times, they would carry our dear son-in-law in on a sedan chair no matter how far away he was!”
Elaine nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Charlie, smiling mischievously as she said, “Indeed, my dear son-in-law is truly amazing! Even rich people have to beg to spend money on my dear son-in-law!”
After saying this, she quickly changed her tone and said with a smile, “My dear son-in-law, let's discuss something.”
Upon seeing Elaine's expression, Charlie knew she must have a request for him, so he asked, “Mom, just speak up if you need something.”
Elaine hesitated and said, “Well, I’ve been a bit tight on money lately. Since you're going on another trip, I'm worried that if I run out of money, I'll have to bother you and Claire. So, I was wondering if you could give me more money before you leave?”
Jacob rolled his eyes at Elaine disdainfully and said, “Elaine, I knew you had ulterior motives! It turns out that you wanted to ask Charlie for money!”
