The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 561

Charlie Wade couldn’t help quenching his curiosity and asked, “Dad, who is this Matilda that everyone is talking about?”

Jacob Wilson rolled his eyes and shushed him, “Shush! You don’t have to rub it in!”

Charlie Wade shrugged indifferently and kept quiet.

Meanwhile, as more and more people surrounded them, Aaron spruced himself up proudly and introduced the young man standing next to him. “Guys, I would like all of you to meet my son-in-law, Jake Dunn. He owns a startup company in the internet service industry, and the company will soon be listed on the Growth Enterprise Market.”

“Wow!” Eric exclaimed in shock. “How much will the company’s market be worth after listing? I bet it must be hundreds of millions, right?”

“Hundreds of millions?” Aaron curled his lips pompously and blurted, “It starts with a billion, to say the least! Think about it, do you know how difficult it is for a company to be listed?! Without a certain foundation and stability, how could a company pass so many rounds of reviews by the Securities Regulatory Commission?”

Then, he added, “Tell you the truth, when his company is listed, the market value will definitely exceed 1 billion dollars! The performance of his company has risen very rapidly over the past two years. If you’re interested in making money, you should buy his company’s shares!”

Jake, Aaron’s son-in-law, who had been quiet the whole time suddenly said, “Dad, hold on, relax. I’m just an entrepreneur who recently ventured into the industry. I pale in comparison to your old friends who have made great achievements throughout their lives!”

Jake’s modesty had won the favor of many people at the scene.

An old man with silver hair sighed, “Oh, Aaron, your son-in-law is so young and promising, yet, so humble and low-key. He is a good son-in-law, you’re very lucky!”

“Of course!” Aaron nodded dismissively. Then, he turned to Jacob Wilson and asked attentively, “By the way, Jacob Wilson, what does your son-in-law do?”

“My son-in-law?” Jacob Wilson glanced at Charlie Wade and huffed a disappointing sigh. He wanted to brag and conceal it with a lie, but it would be even more embarrassing if someone saw through his lies, so he said sheepishly, “He does housework.”

“What? Housework?” Loud waves of laughter echoed among the crowd.

No one would have thought that they would get such an absurd answer from Jacob Wilson.

Aaron grinned and said, “He does housework, which means he doesn’t have a job, am I right? Jacob Wilson, I heard that you are a househusband as well, right? Why don’t I ask my son-in-law to assign some jobs for both of you?

Jacob Wilson, you’re quite old now, I think you should be fine with being a guard at the entrance. As for your son-in-law, he is young and has experience in housework, so he can work at the staff canteen as a chef and waiter. What do you think?”

The crowd laughed again.

Charlie Wade remained silent the whole time. He was so used to being insulted and mocked over the years that he felt nothing out of it. He had gone through worse insults than this, so not only did he not feel ashamed at all, but he felt that Aaron’s sarcasm was a bit mediocre.

Jacob Wilson, on the other hand, was extremely infuriated. He cursed inside his heart, ‘Aaron Philips, you jerk! You pompous b*stard, you started to mock and tease me when we’ve just met, you’ve crossed the line! Do you still hold a grudge for not being able to tackle Matilda? That’s why you can’t get off my back after so many years!’

Aaron started again when none of them responded, “Hey, Jacob Wilson, are you deaf? I kindly introduced some jobs to you, can’t you say something?”

Then, he turned to Charlie Wade and blurted in annoyance, “Young man, your father-in-law’s brain cannot function very well due to his age, so I can forgive him for being slow and impolite. But you, young man, are you impolite and slow like him too?”

Charlie Wade smiled and said, “Uncle, frankly speaking, I’m not cheap to be hired. My required salary is very high.”

“High salary?” Aaron curled his lips into a smirk. “How high do you want? Is four to five thousand enough to hire you as a chef?”

Jake wanted to please his father-in-law, so he said, “Dad, since he is your old friend’s son-in-law, I must give him some additional benefit. Okay then, I’ll give you ten thousand per month!”

Charlie Wade chuckled in amusement and said, “Pardon me, but I don’t want money.”

Aaron frowned, confused. “You don’t want money, then what do you want?”

“Whoever hires me has to marry his daughter to me. Let’s take my father-in-law as an example. He wanted to hire me to do household chores, so he married his darling daughter to me. So, Aaron, if you want to hire me, you must marry your daughter to me too!”

Aaron’s face flushed in fury as he shouted, “You are so ungrateful! I’m being kind enough to offer you a job and this is how you repay me?!”

The enraged Jake glared at Charlie Wade and said, “Hey, buddy, my father-in-law has only one daughter, and she is my wife! Be careful with what you say, otherwise, I’ll kill you!”

Charlie Wade chuckled. “You guys are so funny. Did I ever ask you to offer me a job? You guys started it first. Since you wanted to give me a job so badly, I stated my terms and conditions. Just say yes if you agree, and no if you disagree, isn’t that normal?”

Jake angrily said, “Why did you make such an absurd request? You’re looking for trouble!”

Charlie Wade said flatly, “No, I’m not. That was my condition all along. Frankly speaking, I have been married to my wife for over three years. For the past three years, I’ve been doing all kinds of household chores at home, cooking, cleaning, going to the market, that’s my job scope, and my salary package is my wife.

If you want to hire me, you have to follow the terms I requested. If you can provide it, that’s fine, but if you can’t, just shut up. Plain and simple. Can’t you understand such a simple exchange?”

“You…” Aaron and Jake were speechless and dumbstruck.

Charlie Wade was right.

He had never asked them for a job, instead, it was they who had come at him pompously. Charlie Wade had stated his terms for accepting the job, so why were they so furious about it?

Sensing that a battle was about to erupt, the crowd quickly interjected, “Hey, we’re all here for the reunion, let’s have fun and enjoy the party. Don’t quarrel over such a small matter.”

Aaron and Jake were agitated as the tables were turned, but they couldn’t say anything to ease their anger.

After all, they had started the dispute first, and everyone was witnesses. If they held Charlie Wade accountable, the crowd would look down on them for being petty.

Jacob Wilson, however, was thrilled and happy!

He didn’t know that his son-in-law was so clever and witty that he had managed to defend himself and forced Aaron and Jake to be quiet. He gave him a thumbs up excitedly.

Jake glared at Charlie Wade with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

Initially, he had intended to show off in a low-key way at his father-in-law’s reunion since he was the owner of a soon-to-be listed company, yet, Charlie Wade had come out of nowhere and pushed him into a trap he had dug himself.

It was such a bitter pill for him to swallow, he had to find a way to turn the tables!

In order to turn the tables, Jake recalled a name that Aaron had mocked Jacob Wilson with, Matilda. So, he pretended to be curious and asked, “Dad, what’s the issue with this Matilda that you talked about earlier? You guys seem to be very close to her, I’m rather curious…”

Aaron threw a sideway glance at Jacob Wilson and said with a grin, “Matilda Hall was the most beautiful girl in our batch, and a lot of boys fell in love with her. In fact, if her admirers queued up, it would circle the university twice.”

Then, Aaron deliberately raised his voice and laughed, “Eventually, Matilda must have been hypnotized or something, because she chose Jacob Wilson! Since he was in love with the most beautiful and popular girl in school, he had to avoid walking into people for fear that he would be ambushed and beaten.”

“What happened later?”

Again, Aaron looked at Jacob Wilson in amusement and giggled. “Then, Matilda dumped him and flew to the United States. She hasn’t come back since.”

Then, he turned to Jacob Wilson and asked in a mocking tone, “Oh, Jacob Wilson, do you know why Matilda broke up with you?”

Jacob Wilson growled, “It’s none of your business.”

Aaron laughed at his reaction. “Let me tell you, in truth, Matilda was irritated because of her countless admirers, so she decided to find a fake boyfriend to shun all the annoying buggers. Hence, she chose you, and you were the only one who was kept in the dark. After she used you, she dumped you and went abroad! Hahaha!”

Jacob Wilson shouted angrily, “Shut up! Matilda and I broke up because…”

He couldn’t finish his sentence.

His expression changed from outrage to regret, desolation, and sadness. He hung his head low, sighed gently, and waved his hand. “Forget it, let’s drop the subject.”

“Oh, don’t!” Aaron said aggressively. “Don’t leave your words hanging like that! Tell us, why did you break up with her? Wasn’t it because she was done with you?”

“Of course not!”

“Tell us then!”
