The Super Son-in-law

Chapter 32 Gifts

At this moment, a woman with heavy makeup and ordinary features approached Norris and asked, "Norris, who are these two?"

"This is my college classmate and best buddy, Alan!"

"This is our school beauty Mia, now Alan's wife."

After introducing the two, Norris turned to the woman beside him and said, "This is my fiancée, Rosalie."

Is he that good-for-nothing son-in-law?

Rosalie blurted out, but quickly realized her mistake.

She hastily corrected herself with a smile, "I've always heard Norris talk about you two. You make such a talented and beautiful couple!"

Pretending not to hear, Alan handed the ancient painting to Rosalie and said, "This is a small token of our appreciation."

Rosalie smiled and said, "You're too kind. There's no need to bring gifts!" As she spoke, she quickly took the gift box.

Alan said, "You two carry on with your business. We'll find a place to sit first."

"Okay." Norris apologized, "Sorry, Alan. There are so many classmates to greet."

As soon as Alan and Mia walked away, Rosalie eagerly opened the gift box they had sent. Inside, she found a scroll painting. Frowning, she asked, "What did your classmate send?"

Norris replied, "Can't you tell? It's a painting!"

Rosalie (disdainfully curled her lip), unrolled the scroll and glanced at it. "What junk is this?

It's old and tattered. I bet it's only worth $100."

Norris said solemnly, "Why do you care about the price? It's a gift from a classmate. It's the thought that counts."

Rosalie said, "Cut the crap. Let me tell you, you should stop associating with such classmates in the future.

They gave such trash as a gift, it's not even worth the money we spent on their meal!"

Norris's face darkened. "Rosalie, are you really this snobbish?"

Rosalie instantly flared up. "Norris, how dare you talk to me like that? Me, snobbish?

If I were really snobbish, would I have chosen a poor loser like you?

Don't forget, my dad invested most of the money in this restaurant!"

Norris looked awkward, momentarily at a loss for words.

Just then, Hamlin approached them. He had recovered somewhat from the car-burning incident and was already putting on a haughty air again.

He walked right up to them and handed over a thick red envelope.

"Norris, I didn't know what to get you for your restaurant opening, so I just wrapped a big red envelope for you."

Rosalie thanked him while hastily taking the envelope. Squeezing it, she could tell there was at least $2,000 inside.

She immediately fawned, "Oh, thank you so much!"

Hamlin waved his hand and asked her, "I saw Alan came to give a gift too?

What did he send?"

Rosalie scoffed. "A painting. Probably picked it up from some secondhand market.

I bet it's only worth $100 at most!"

Hamlin sneered, "Trash will always be trash!"

After Alan, Mia, and Caroline took their seats, Hamlin followed and sat beside Caroline.

As soon as he sat down, he smiled at Caroline and asked, "Caroline, I heard you're working at Delaney Group in Plath City this time?"

Caroline nodded.

Hamlin smiled and said, "What a coincidence! My dad works at Delaney Group.

He's the deputy general manager of a department. I'll ask him to take extra care of you."

At this, several people at the table exclaimed, "Hamlin, your dad is the deputy general manager of Delaney Group?"

"Yes." Hamlin nodded. "He was promoted just last year."

Someone quickly flattered, "The deputy general manager must make millions a year in salary! That's amazing!"

"No wonder your family is so wealthy!"

Hamlin replied with a smile, "Millions are just his salary. My dad has significant authority and also has some other income.

Right now, Delaney Group is working on a hotel project.

Once this project is completed, my dad will make at least ten to twenty million."

A male classmate sitting across from him hurriedly asked, "Hamlin, I also want to join Delaney Group.

I've sent my resume several times but never heard back. Can you talk to your father and see if he can recommend me internally?"

Hamlin nodded and agreed readily, "Sure. Send me your resume on F******k later, and I'll put in a good word for you."

Alan couldn't help frowning. He had no idea that Hamlin's father was actually a senior executive at Delaney Group.

This was interesting. He decided to send a text to Vivian later and ask her to fire Hamlin's father.

So he deliberately asked, "Hamlin, if your dad is so powerful at Delaney Group, why didn't he get you in?"

Hamlin sneered disdainfully, "What do you know?

There's no point in me joining Delaney Group. Our father-son relationship can't be hidden, and I'd be constantly watched if I went in."

Then, Hamlin said arrogantly, "So I'm not even considering Delaney Group.

I've started a building materials company now. I'll directly cooperate with Delaney Group through my dad

and take on their building materials supply orders."

"Wow!" someone exclaimed. "Aren't you going to make a fortune then?"

Hamlin scoffed, "It's not a big deal. I should make around ten million a year."

As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Alan and asked, "Alan, what do you do for work now?

Don't tell me that ever since you moved in with your wife's family, you've just been doing laundry and cooking?"

The others at the table burst into laughter.

Alan said calmly, "Every day, besides doing laundry and cooking, I also drive my wife to and from work.

I give her massages and her back (rub her shoulders). Life is infinitely delightful."

Hamlin was so angry that he felt like his lungs would explode. This bastard actually looked completely justified—what a thick skin!

Gritting his teeth to suppress his anger, he said, "Alan, I didn't expect you to be so comfortable mooching off your wife!"

"Why not?" Alan said brazenly.

"I'm not stealing or robbing. I'm mooching off my wife with my own skills—why shouldn't I be comfortable with that?"

The surrounding classmates were stunned. They'd seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless!

The key thing was, everyone secretly envied him!

After all, Mia was incredibly beautiful. Being able to mooch off such a goddess was a dream come true for many!

If they had the chance to serve a beauty like Mia, what did being a live-in son-in-law matter?

Being a live-in son-in-law was still being a winner in life! Hamlin was half-dead with rage.

Just then, Norris's wife Rosalie suddenly stepped onto the stage.

After smiling and thanking everyone for coming, she said:

"Today, we want to thank everyone for the many gifts you've given us. Norris and I are both deeply moved.

To show our gratitude, we've decided to announce the details of the gifts here and thank everyone again!"

Since it was an opening ceremony, the (segment) of announcing gifts was naturally indispensable.

Norris hadn't wanted to do this originally, but in reality, he didn't have much say and could only let Rosalie do as she pleased.

But many classmates weren't surprised by this, as people inherently have a psychological tendency to compare and show off.

From now on, everyone would see what each person had gifted,

which could be used to judge how well their old classmates were doing in society.

Then, Rosalie began calling out names.
