The Breakfast of Discontent

1

"John Smith! Get your ass over here! Can I eat the breakfast you made or not?" Lily Red walked to the table, angrily threw her chopsticks down, and yelled.
John Smith, wearing an apron, came out from the kitchen, looked at his carefully prepared breakfast, shook his head, and thought that he really didn't want to pay attention to this willful "sister-in-law".
"I stayed in their house for three years, food and shelter all rely on them, not a penny to earn, make a breakfast are not attentive, my conscience are eaten by dogs! Lily Red continued to scold.

"Mom! Look at the breakfast John Smith made! It's purple rice porridge, fried eggs, baked bacon, and it's completely unpalatable!" Lily Red said angrily.
"John Smith, that loser of mine, can't even make breakfast! I don't want to be here anymore, and if you don't want to be here, then divorce Rose Red and get the hell out!" Grace Summer swept a glance at the breakfast on the table and spoke bluntly.
"Mom, what now?" Rose Red, John's wife, came out of her bedroom and asked suspiciously.
"YSiÉsP, uI'mb justÉ Tgoinng ktro go! an^dU take crarRev yoWf téhisf spuYsksy-eateUr! PI*t'sC PdRisgvuWsét!ingz!" XLYi!ly )R$edÉ yneslTlWezdd.
"Lily, Mom pays him a thousand dollars a month just for groceries, it's good enough for him to eat like that." Rose Red sighed, "Grandpa died last year, and Uncles 2 and 3 have been trying to get us out of Red Family Manor, so let's just get on with our lives."
"Rose, your mom loves me too! My father died early, and the Red Family only dared to bully them when they were left with an orphaned child, only to have such a loser like John Smith shoved into my arms!" Grace Summer said indignantly, "I was the prettiest and most outstanding girl in Southeast City, and there were many rich guys chasing after me back then!"
"Grandpa was so stupid to let me marry this John Smith three years ago, otherwise, I would have married a rich tycoon! Otherwise, I'd be married to a rich tycoon, and he and mom would be enjoying their life with me!" Lily Red glared at John Smith.

"Grandpa made a will before he died, forbidding me and John Smith to divorce, doesn't he understand how much the John Smith family owes Grandpa, I'll take a lifetime of happiness to pay back!" Lily Red also said sympathetically to her bitter sister.
Rose Red did not continue to say, grandfather's decision, no one in the Red Family can understand, not to mention their own.
But what can be done? Who let himself be a member of the Red Family? Who let his father die early?

John Smith went back to the kitchen and realized that the eggs and bacon that he had fried for Rose Red had been smoked to a crisp, so he had to save them for himself.
John Smith fried new bacon and eggs, heard Grace Summer in the dining room, scolding: "All day long a dead face, not even a fart. I thought I had a man in the family, but I didn't realize he was just a useless loser."
Lily Red also added more fuel to the fire, "Mom, John Smith told Uncle Two that his family is dead and he hasn't seen a single relative visit him in the past three years, you know, he's really a loser in the Red Family."
"But zmy sistieFr's )s^o ypatWhetibcO." Réose Redó lamLeLntied.
John Smith walked over to Rose Red with a well-prepared breakfast, Grace and Lily had already finished eating, gave him a scornful look, and then changed their clothes and left.
They left every morning after breakfast, never wanting to eat at the same table as John Smith.
The rule with John Smith was to stay as far away as possible.

"Mom and Rei can be really over the top sometimes, don't take it personally." Rose Red said with a cold face.
"He's fine." John Smith responded indifferently.
"I don't want to be bothered with their snide remarks when we go to the office, lest they get worse." Rose Red said with a frown, lowering her long, beautiful lashes.
"sUgh-QhWunh.q"I
John Smith stole a glance at the heartbreakingly beautiful Rose Red, and lowered his head to sip his cold porridge.
Compared to the grievances and ridicule Rose Red had endured, what were his own boring sneers worth?
The two of them ate their breakfast in silence, for three years, they had gotten used to this kind of short and cold communication.

She just looks at him with indifference as the man everyone calls a loser.
Apart from his lack of money and weak character, he didn't cause Rose Red any trouble at all.
He slept on the floor next to Rose Red every day and never complained.

But it was impossible for Rose Red, a medical doctor who had returned from overseas, to accept such a man.
Rose Red had just finished eating, Lily Red rushed in and yelled: "John Smith, eating breakfast is so dilly-dallying! Tomorrow is the Red Family's regular meeting, Uncle Two is worried that they can't find a chance to fix you, don't want them to kick you out of Red Family again, I have to get out with them too!"
"He won't be there tomorrow, something came up." John Smith said.

"Okay."
John Smith reluctantly untied his apron and followed Rose Red, riding his usual beat-up motorcycle behind Rose Red's Toyota Corolla.

It was a rule in Rose Red's family trips, because Lily Red resented John Smith walking into the car and making the air inside it horrible. Even though Rose Red had worked for two years to save up for the Toyota Corolla, Lily Red was the one who usually drove it, which she claimed was to serve as a chauffeur for her sister, Rose Red.
When Rose Red and her family walked into the meeting hall of Red Family Manor, the other shareholders of the Red Family had also arrived. "Look at that, Rose Red is here with that loser!" Henry Pike, the eldest son of Elder Red of the second house, laughed. "It's no shame, after three years of being a son-in-law, you haven't made any progress at all." He said, continuing to tease, "I hear that John Smith does all the cooking at Rose Red's!"
"What's that? They say that loser does the laundry for the whole family, including his mother-in-law and sister-in-law!" There was much laughter. As soon as the relatives saw John Smith enter the room, they started laughing at him as if it were a necessary entertainment for the monthly meeting.

At that moment, a woman knocked on the door, carrying a small blue box and a large bouquet of red roses. "Excuse me, who is Ms. Iris Red?" She inquired.
"Oh, it's me, what can I do for you?" One of Rose Red's cousins stood up and responded.
"Hello, Miss Iris Red, from the Tiffany's flagship store on the South East Side, a gentleman has purchased a small gift for you, and asked me to deliver it to you!" The woman delivering the flowers smiled as she introduced herself.

"Tiffany's stuff is not cheap, it must be tens of thousands of dollars of jewelry, right?" Relatives began to speculate what gifts Iris Red had received.
"On Valentine's Day, who would be so bored to give gifts?" Iris Red said proudly, "Open it and see what it is, she doesn't care for anything too ordinary!"
"This is a diamond flower cluster pendant worth 280,000 dollars, from their Tiffany flagship store, it's the most expensive one, made of platinum, with a total of three carats of diamonds!" The gift-giving woman continued to explain, opened the small blue box, inside is really a broken diamonds strung into a flower cluster pendant, fashionable style.

"I don't know who gave it to me, but it's 280,000 dollars!" Another relative said. "Needless to say, it must be a rich guy who is courting Iris Red! This time, Iris Red has got a golden son-in-law!"
"But she's not as lucky as her sister Rose Red, she's married to an incompetent loser, so she'll never receive a little blue box in her life!" Everyone started to tease.
Seeing Iris Red getting such an expensive gift, everyone started to compliment her. Although Iris Red wasn't as pretty as Rose Red, she still had some good looks. In the family, she has been competing with Rose Red.

"Since this necklace is so valuable, I'll accept it with reluctance!" Iris Red smiled proudly as she listened to the crowd's compliments, "This bouquet of roses is too cheap."
Iris Red didn't rush to accept the expensive little blue box, but picked up the cheap roses, and walked to Rose Red with a smile, "Rose Red, look, someone gave me such an expensive gift, aren't you very jealous? Tsk, tsk, tsk, in this life I married a loser like John Smith, I guess I won't have a chance to receive the little blue box! Why don't you give me this bunch of useless roses?"
Iris Red said, and threw the roses into Rose Red's arms. "I ...... "Rose Red struggled in annoyance, not knowing what to do with it.

"That's right, maybe it's the turnip flowers he carves when he cooks!" Another relative chimed in.
"We're all so high on John Smith, I'm afraid the most he's ever done in his life is deliver a bowl of egg flowers to Rose Red! Hahaha~"The relatives saw Iris Red bullying Rose Red, and laughed along excitedly.
At this moment, John Smith stood up, grabbed the roses in Rose Red's arms, lazily opened the window of the conference hall, and threw the bouquet of roses straight out. "That's my rose! How dare he throw it out? He really thinks I want to stay at Red Family Manor!" Iris Red's eyebrows rose in anger, and she glared at John Smith.

"What?" The woman giving the gift heard this, and a look of panic appeared on her smiling face.
"John Smith! Shut up, I'm nothing! Can't a soft-drinking dog in Red's house even talk?" Iris Red pointed at him angrily, yelling.
John Smith didn't care, he played with the little blue box, took out the Tiffany necklace inside and scrutinized it, then put it on his T-shirt.

"I'm buying a fake to show off, so why don't I show a little care? Is everyone like me, who can't tell the difference between real and fake Tiffany's?" John Smith said with a disdainful smile.

"First of all, my little blue box is definitely not fake, the real Tiffany outer box that blue is very special, that kind of blue color value can not be found, imitation is very difficult. And the color of my little blue box, but like a pile of toad shit, blue is not blue, green is not green." John Smith said with a smile.
"Secondly, genuine Tiffany jewelry is engraved with the T&Co or Tiffany&Co logo and the designer's name. But on my $280,000 necklace, there's just a big Tiffany&Co logo and no designer's name."
"Even if it was designed by a nobody, the Tiffany&Co logo on Tiffany jewelry is usually small and delicate, unlike the one on my necklace, which is so big and rough, as if people don't recognize it as Tiffany jewelry."

"So, nothing more to say?" John Smith tossed the fake necklace back into the little blue box, leaving it for the frozen gift-giving woman.
"Security! Security! Come on, get this swindling bitch out of here! How dare she cheat us at Red Family Manor!" Iris Red shouted furiously.
Two security guards came quickly and dragged the gift-giving woman away.

"Hahaha, it's so funny! Buying fake goods for yourself to make you look good, I've never seen such an unashamed person!" Lily Red laughed loudly, as she inherited her mother Grace Summer's spirited personality. In the Red Family Manor such a tear, she did not miss the opportunity to fight back.
Rose Red looked at John Smith somewhat strangely, feeling as if he had changed into a different person. He was once ridiculed in front of his relatives, but now he took the initiative to stand up for himself. Moreover, John Smith made Iris Red lose so much face.
What's more surprising is that John Smith spoke so professionally about Tiffany's identification, he seems to know a lot about luxury goods. This is not the same John Smith.

"John Smith, my pussy! Always playing the turtle in front of me, right? What, are you brave today?" Rose Red of the second house stared coldly at John Smith and said, "In the conference hall of Red Family Manor, when is it my turn to give orders and make speeches?"
As expected, John Smith didn't care about her sarcasm.
He raised his head, looked directly at Red Rose, and lazily smiled, "Haven't I heard the old saying? If you can't stand it, you don't have to stand it anymore!"

"Ha ha ha, he dare to bet? I'm sure he got those clothes from the dollar store!" Iris Red, seeing Red Rose and Red Yun brothers standing up for themselves, smoothly mocked.
"Sister Lian, am I right!" Another one named Lily said, "I bet, it's going to lose."
"Why?" Iris Red asked in confusion.
"WÉhatR Li!fj Jpowhln^ aSmYith&'Msl Yclo!theOsK )wOeYrOe BpPickeYd( uFpt wf,ryom Uad wdUump&spter?"
"Hahaha!"
John Smith couldn't help but laugh as he looked at his old, discolored T-shirt and ripped jeans. In fact, he never cared what he wore.
Although he could have dressed more decently, he didn't feel the need to do so, and the clothes on his body were actually the discounted ones that Rose Red had bought for himself.

"Lice! It's horrible!" The women in Red Family Manor looked horrified, "Get him out of here! What if the lice jump on us!"
"Do you hear me? Get out of here, get out of here, don't dirty our Red Family Manor's meeting room!" Red Rue said with a bad smile.
"I wouldn't want to come here for this boring regular meeting." John Smith responded lazily, "But I can't help it if little Rose's grandfather makes the rules. Watch out, folks, before his ticks jump on us!"

"Sister-in-law, our Yuan Zhi is really getting out of hand!" Elder Red, the chairman of Nine Vine Group, frowned at Grace Summer, "I've got nothing better to do! In Red Family Manor, it's just fine, but embarrassing us, begging to go out like this, is really a disgrace to their entire Red Family!"
"That's right, every time we go to a big dinner party, even people in our social circle ask about this harboring thing, it's really unbearable!" Iris Red glared at John Smith.
"Ever since Rose Red married this loser John Smith, our Red Family Manor has become the biggest laughing stock in Southeast City!"

"Forget it, since it's the old man's decision, it'll have to do." Chairman Elder Red said, "Our Red Family Manor has reached a critical moment of survival this time, so we don't care about those trivial matters."
"Uncle Two, was that incident really troublesome?" Red Rose asked.
"No, Dong'an City's 10 million acres of medicinal herbs plantation base has been launched, led by the mysterious Ocean Group, rumored to have injected 50 billion dollars, and started to take action!"

"He walks his way, I cross my wooden bridge, well water does not offend river water!" Bai Yun, who had no ambition, said, "Whatever!"
"Idiot!" Bai Yun's father, David Gold, scolded, "The city has asked Ocean Group to take the lead in gradually acquiring and integrating the pharmaceutical companies in Southeast City, and several first- and second-rate pharmaceutical families have already been annexed by Ocean Group!"
"I'm going! We, Nine Vine Group, are not for sale to them!" Bai Qiang said contemptuously, "No matter how good Ocean Group is, they can't force us to buy and sell, right?"

"Yes, the more terrible thing is, this Ocean Group is very mysterious, so far no one knows who the boss behind it is, even their general manager does not know the name," David Gold sighed, "and, they act very ruthless and overbearing, a lot of groups that are against them, dead. A lot of groups that are against them, die a miserable death, their tactics, not just squeeze away our market share so simple!"
"Yes, this Ocean Group, is really too scary," Chairman Elder Red sighed, "only a short period of ten years, from a little-known company, developed into a market value of a few trillion dollars of the world's top five hundred, look at the Chinese pharmaceutical industry, now only the well-established Beijing Pharmaceuticals, the only one who has a strong presence. As far as China's pharmaceutical industry is concerned, nowadays, only the deeply rooted Du Family in the capital can still compete with Ocean Group, while the rest can't even hope to compete with it."
"So, the Du Family in the capital is just going to stand by and watch Ocean Group get even with them?" Bai Qiang said.

"John Smith, you are also surnamed Du, you are not also a member of the Du family in Beijing, right? Why don't you go and look for the Du family in Beijing, and casually inject a ten billion dollars or something to our Bai family?" Bai Qiang laughed with a mocking face.
"Hahaha~ This is the coldest joke I've ever heard in my life!"

"Come on, the Bai Family is at a critical point of life and death, and you guys are still in the mood to make fun of this loser!" Chairman Elder Red said with a cold face.
"Second Uncle, what do you think can be done?" Bai Qiang asked.
"For today's solution, we can only find Ocean Group to cooperate." Chairman Elder Red said, "They just came to Southeast City, they are not familiar with the world, manpower is not enough, so they have to find people to help them to take care of the 10 million acres of medicinal herbs planting bases, they have already started to look for a project cooperation company in Southeast City, we just need to get the cooperation project with them, not only won't be swallowed up, but also can rely on Ocean Group, a big tree, grow bigger. If we get the cooperation project with them, not only will we not be swallowed up, but we can also rely on Ocean Group to grow bigger and stronger, by that time, we, Nine Vine Group, will become a first-class family in Southeast City!"

"Yes, by then, Southeast City will become the world of our Bai Family and Ocean Group!" Bai Yun laughed.
"Hmph! Do you think Ocean Group's cooperation program is that easy to get?" Chairman Elder Red gave Bai Yun a blank look and said, "Starting tomorrow, all of you will go to Ocean Group to find a way to get the cooperation project with Ocean Group no matter what!"
Upon hearing that they had to go to Ocean Group to talk about the cooperation project, Bai Qiang and Bai Yun instantly wimped out.

"I'm here to officially say, you people, no matter male or female, as long as you can get the cooperation project with Ocean Group, he will be the general manager of Nine Vine Group, the future head of the Bai family! He will be in charge of the cooperation program with Ocean Group!" Chairman Elder Red said with a cold face.
"Dad, are you telling the truth? Then I'll give it a try! What if the chairman of Ocean Group likes me?" White Lotus scratched her head and said with a longing face.
"I'll go too! Let's find out what the project manager of Ocean Group likes!" Bai Qiang was also eager to try.

Upon hearing that as long as they could get the project with Ocean Group, they would become the future head of the family, all the members of the Bai family were motivated.
More importantly, if they could be in charge of the cooperation project with Ocean Group, they would still be making a lot of money.
John Smith could not help but laugh at this group of dilettantes who only know how to do things the wrong way.

In front of an inconspicuous vegetable stall, a stooped old man saw John Smith over, pretending to buy food, quietly came over.
"Little master."
"Uncle Pine, he's here."

"Little Sweet has according to your instructions, began to send people to buy the southeast city's pharmaceutical group, in a few days he will personally come to see you."
"Uh, I'll contact him."

"Well ...... Uncle Song, your health, do not look too good?"
"It's an old problem, it's always like this when I'm older, don't worry about me, I'm taking all the medicines you asked Sweet to give me, I'm getting old, I just hope I can see my master again in my lifetime, I'll feel relieved when I leave you in her hands. ......"
"Thank you, Uncle Song, I'll make sure you get what you want!"

The hotel's largest presidential suite, sitting in a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a face of meanness and indifference.
Opposite her, sat the same indifferent John Smith.
