Chapter 539 Identity Revealed!
On the first floor of the clubhouse, the opening flower baskets were already arranged in full abundance, and it was safe to say the entire community could hear the firecrackers going off outside.
His mother-in-law had dressed up with great care, and his sister-in-law Nancy had even specially invited Deewa over to help with their mother's makeup. Once she added her jewelry, she looked incredibly elegant and classy, so much so that Luis felt a fleeting urge to just push her down right there.
"Winslet, who is this?" his mother-in-law asked, looking at the multitude of flower baskets, feeling both a sense of pride and intense curiosity.
Lily gently chided her, "Mom, have you forgotten? This is Binbin's teacher's wife, that famous lawyer."
"Oh, oh, Bella, and this is?"
"Ke Ge's mother..."
Luis was collecting the congratulatory gifts at the bar counter, all the while wondering why that black dog was such a useless piece of trash. How come there hadn't been any movement from him yet?
Wasn't he supposed to be a stubborn bastard? To have held out this long, after making such big, boastful threats before—it was just ridiculous.
After he brewed some tea, Minda arrived late. As soon as his mother-in-law saw her, she warmly greeted her, saying, "Manager Minda, you're finally here! We've been so grateful for all your help these past few days."
"Oh, not at all," Minda replied with the utmost humility. "I'm just working for you. This is all part of my job."
At the Black Dog Teahouse, the fee was three dollars per hour, so the price for the private rooms here was set at the same rate, though customers could get a ten percent discount with their community access card.
Everything here was newly renovated, with brand new equipment, and the environment was infinitely better than over there.
So on this opening day, even though it wasn't a holiday, the private rooms were instantly fully booked.
Furthermore, to really provoke that black dog, Luis had planned a grand opening promotion, intending to operate at a significant loss just to aggressively attract business.
Over there, the tea fee was twenty cents per person, and the tea they served was brewed from tea stems.
At Ruyue Teahouse, the tea fee was completely free. They offered not only black and green tea, but also options like monk fruit tea and chrysanthemum tea.

Plus, the tea station was self-service. You could just come and get whatever you wanted to drink. Each private room was also equipped with a water dispenser, and if you wanted a soft drink, there were three refrigerators stocked with a dazzling array of choices.
What was even more insane was that upon entering a private room, they'd give you a small plate of watermelon, along with a small platter of cookies, candies, and pudding.
When you calculated it carefully, it was definitely a losing proposition. But as the boss, Ruth didn't bother with the nitty-gritty details. She was just overjoyed to see the business booming so much.
He had hired people for cleaning, water delivery, and manning the bar. To be honest, it was probably impossible to make a profit from this venture. But if they lost money, it would only be a small amount, and Luis didn't care at all.
Everything was settled here, and it was sure to provoke that black dog. Now, all they had to do was wait for him to come and cause a scene.
After finishing up at his mother-in-law's opening ceremony, as night fell, Luis arrived at Chloe's house carrying a bag of groceries.
The nanny was playing with the child in the living room. Chloe took the groceries and said nervously, "My sister Hela said she won't be here until around nine!!"
"It's fine, we'll just wait for her to have dinner together. I'm going to take a shower first."
"I've arrived at the community entrance and just went into the underground garage to park."
"Okay, then I'll have him start cooking."
After hanging up the phone, Hela stretched, perked herself up, and headed towards her sister's place.
She was now filled with curiosity. Just who was this mysterious man who could completely captivate her proud and arrogant sister, making her follow him without hesitation even though she knew he was already married?
Hela felt a bit conflicted inside. She knew her sister's divorce proceedings were already underway. Logically speaking, she probably had no right to interfere or lecture her under these circumstances.
Besides, this man had not only saved her sister's life, but had also provided both financial and physical support. In her sister's words, he was a perfect, impeccable man.
She even wondered if she was being too controlling. Every time her sister talked about him, the sheer happiness on her face was undeniable. Would her own domineering nature end up causing trouble for her sister's already improper relationship?
And besides, what right did she have to judge her?
Unconsciously arriving at her sister's doorstep, Hela suddenly felt a little nervous, like she was about to open a blind box.
She harbored no ill will towards this man; it was pure curiosity and a desire to get to know him. Now, the moment of revelation had finally arrived.
She opened the door with her own key and naturally changed into slippers in the entryway.
By the dining table, Chloe was setting out the bowls and chopsticks. She turned around and smiled, saying, "Sis, you have to try this old hen soup later. It's made with real, high-quality ingredients."
She could vaguely see a man bustling about in the kitchen. After changing her shoes, Hela walked over and said with a gentle smile, "Okay. Is the baby sleeping?"
"She just finished feeding, and the nanny is with her in the room listening to music!"
Chloe had originally planned to wean her nearly one-year-old child so she could quickly return to work and earn money.
But now that their finances weren't so tight, and on the doctor's advice, she decided to continue breastfeeding and start introducing some complementary foods, which was better for the baby.
She also knew that Luis loved the way she would squirt milk when she climaxed during sex, so she had applied to her company for an extension of her maternity leave.
Thanks to her brother-in-law Darlan's connections over there, the application was approved smoothly. Her maternity leave was extended from one year to one and a half years, and if she applied again later, it probably wouldn't be difficult either.
A flight attendant's income mainly depended on flight hours and number of trips for performance pay. The base salary wasn't high, but retaining the other benefits was pretty good.
Chloe was a bit bummed about this though. She fantasized about carefully selecting a flight when she went back to work, and having a "thousand miles in one day" trip with her lover, indulging in some uniform seduction.
Hela walked into the kitchen, looking around with a smile, but she felt a strange sensation.
The man in the kitchen was wearing shorts and a vest. He looked very much at home, but his outfit lacked the greasy, middle-aged man vibe.
Mainly, his exposed arms and legs were all muscle. From the back, he looked exceptionally tall and well-proportioned, a physique with perfect ratios, very masculine.
But that back view... the more she looked, the more familiar it became. Even her nose twitched, as if she could almost catch a whiff of a familiar scent.
"Here you are! We can eat right away!"
That familiar voice struck her like a thunderbolt. At that moment, Luis turned around, looked at her with a mischievous grin, and greeted her: "HELLO. The formal way to address you would be my sister-in-law's mother-in-law, my own mother-in-law's in-law, right?"
"You... you!!"
Hela was absolutely dumbfounded, pointing at Luis, unable to speak for a long time, her entire body completely numb with shock.
