Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 657: Going Straight to the Two Elders

“Moreover, the quality of their supply sources is extremely high. Take beef and lamb, for example. The best tasting beef and lamb comes from just a small area of the grasslands. And that small area is specifically for supplying the restaurants under the Pingla Group,” Wendy said.

“As for a variety of fruits and vegetables, let’s take watermelon, Hami melon, and grapes for instance. There are many varieties of each fruit, with each having their own place of origin. However, the place of origin only refers to a large area in general, and the truly delicious produce comes from just a small part of it.”

“Take the Freshwater Lake Crabs, for example. The truly delicious crabs only come from a small area, which is rarely sold externally due to limited production. There isn’t much left for sale after they supply.”

“Why are the high-end restaurants under the Pingla Group so famous? Apart from having Michelin-starred chefs and innovative, exquisite dishes that can’t be replicated elsewhere, it’s because the taste of the ingredients themselves can make the dishes even more outstanding, serving as the icing on the cake.”

“I haven’t tried the dishes from Pingla’s restaurants yet, but I plan to find time for us to go and taste them together. I want to see where they come from and how big the gap is between us. Even if it’s just their selling point to attract customers, as long as we can use the same source of ingredients as the Pingla Group, our restaurant doesn’t need to spend any advertising money. This alone would be our biggest selling point.”

“Some gossipy people may look into it, but how could they not know about our relationship with the Zhekova family? With this, plus our intentional or unintentional leaks of information, who in Belfard would dare cause trouble for our restaurant?”

Christy was excited and said, “Not only would they not dare to find trouble with us, but they would have to ingratiate themselves with us!”

Wendy nodded and proudly said, “At that time, our family wouldn’t just be the small Clarke family in Nork City. Although we have some status in Nork City, the old-fashioned ultra-rich there don’t even have us on their radar. They don’t take us seriously in Nork City, but they never thought that once we arrived in Belfard, our family would directly leap over the threshold, and even those wealthy tycoons in Belfard would have to treat us with respect.”

“We are related to the Zhekova family by marriage. Those ultra-rich in Nork City are like country bumpkins compared to us, not even on the same level, not even worthy of talking to us!”

Christy was lost in the beautiful scene painted by Wendy. Back in Nork City, even though their family had money, they were still looked down on by many upper-class people.

After all, Nork City isn’t big, and there are only so many local wealthy individuals. The residents of Nork City could count the rich people there.

Suddenly becoming wealthy, both Christy and Joshua had never seen the world, struggled to adapt, and lacked confidence when interacting with people.

On the other hand, Christy was all about showing off her newfound wealth.

She really lost face for Wendy.

So, later, Wendy didn’t let the two of them mingle in the circles of the rich in Nork City.

But even so, their reputation was already damaged, and people looked down on them.

In Nork City, those politicians and wealthy people often talked behind the Clarkes’ backs and made fun of them.

Wendy knew all about this, and Christy and Joshua were also aware of it.

Now in Belfard, they instantly became part of the Zhekova family by marriage, and it wasn’t those people who looked down on them, but they who looked down on them instead!

Christy nodded vigorously, her eyes creased with laughter as she imagined the beautiful scene, with layers of wrinkles forming at the corner of her eyes.

“From now on, we’ll do whatever you say!” Christy immediately said.

After speaking, she turned to Joshua and asked, “What do you think? You agree with this, right?”

Joshua nodded, “I want to confirm Cindy’s attitude first, and I also want to see what her situation is like in her husband’s family. If she’s really so unwelcome there, why does she have to suffer such humiliation? Wouldn’t it be better to come back to our family?”

Just for the money, she’s not even treated like a human in her husband’s family.

Moreover, their own family is also not treated as human by her in-laws. How could that be acceptable?

If it’s really like that, he would have to bring Cindy back no matter what.

He couldn’t allow her to live in the Zhekova family in such a submissive manner.

Seeing that Joshua didn’t object, Wendy and Christy didn’t need to persuade him further.

They both sighed with relief.

Wendy then said to Christy, “I’ll look up the location of the Zhekova family mansion later. The elders in the Zhekova family are still around, so the decision-maker in the family is definitely the Old Madam and the Old Man. We should go directly to the two most influential people in the Zhekova family.”

“Even if we talk to Adrian’s parents, don’t they still have to consult with the elders? Let’s just go straight to the most powerful ones.”

“When marrying a daughter-in-law, a bride price should be given; it’s only natural. No matter what they say, when it comes to our family, if the Zhekova family doesn’t want to lose face, they’ll have to pay,” Wendy said. “Otherwise, we’ll expose this matter by publicizing that the Zhekova family doesn’t even give a bride price when marrying a bride!”

“Aren’t they disgusted by our family’s reputation?” Wendy sneered, “Then let’s just be presumptuous without any scruples. We’ll publicize this matter and let them lose face together! No matter how some people may point fingers at us for being uneducated or unsophisticated, it doesn’t matter! In the end, it’s not just us who will lose face, but so will the Zhekova family!”

“Who asked them to have our family as in-laws? When they married Cindy, they should have considered this. Since they didn’t think highly of our family from the beginning, feeling that we were not worthy of them, they should have anticipated that our family would do these things. So don’t blame us then; blame them for marrying Cindy.”

Christy showed no sympathy for Cindy and readily agreed, “Alright, let’s do that!”

“You’re right, we should look for the most influential ones!” Christy didn’t even think about how, once they started making a fuss, how difficult it would be for Cindy to face the Zhekova family, especially since it was her husband’s family, where she was expected to spend the rest of her life. They didn’t care if she had a hard time there.

“You better search quickly!” Instead of being anxious, Christy even urged, “Once you find it, let’s hurry.”

She just wanted to get the money settled as soon as possible, as it would make her feel at ease.

Wendy nodded and went back to her room.
