The Hidden Dragon In-Law

Christopher Xiao asked about the villa to help James Ye out of a tight spot.

He knew his wife's temperament all too well, and given her recent foul mood, Christopher feared she would latch onto James and relentlessly mock him.

In Christopher's eyes, his son-in-law had saved their lives multiple times, so he genuinely regarded James as a proper son-in-law now.

Moreover, as the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son, so seeing James being scolded made him feel sorry for him.

However, as soon as he brought up the villa, Elizabeth Ma's attention shifted immediately!

She looked at James and blurted out, "Right, when will the villa be ready for us to move in? Once we're settled, I want to set up a room with a mahjong machine so I can invite my friends over to play just like my friend does!"

James thought to himself, play mahjong? Do you even have money to lose? Living in a billion-dollar villa and inviting people over to play mahjong, only to lose two thousand and not be able to pay—how embarrassing is that?

Of course, he couldn't say this directly to his mother-in-law, so he just mocked her in his mind.

With that thought, James decided not to argue with his mother-in-law and said calmly, "I met with Wang Zhengang today. He said the villa is almost done, just missing furniture and appliances. If we want to move in, we can start looking for some furniture and appliances, and then we can move."
