Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 1815 The Chicks 6 Poor Relatives
"Give your beloved, the most eternal gemstone. Buy Kleiman jewelry now, 8% off for newlyweds, and you can also use the Kleiman Auditorium as a wedding venue for free!"

There were bursts of clapping, and in an open-air lawn venue surrounded by flowers, many businessmen and family members stood up one after another and kept clapping their hands.

After the host finished his speech, he quickly left the stage. At this time, some businessmen walked over, including Ji Yun and her husband, including Ivy's father, Kleiman Jr., and mother, Ishtar.

This is a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the latest activity launched by Kleiman Jewelry Company. Recently, the sales of Kleiman Jewelry have skyrocketed, because many young couples got married, and the Congress issued a policy for young people. There are multiple welfare measures such as welfare subsidies in the area where men and women get married, and childcare deposits.

At this time, there were a few people who looked very happy on the sidelines. They were standing, and there were no seats for them. They kept cheering, shouting Istar's name, and rubbing their hands in front of the camera as much as possible. Old and young, a total of 11 people.

Many people in the venue looked at these people who came to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony with disdain. They are members of the Chloe family, the poorest small family in Bright City. The whole family only knows about eating, drinking and having fun. Kleiman's family has been relying on Kleiman's family for their daily life, and if Ista hadn't married Kleiman Jr., Chloe's family would have been destroyed long ago.

Today is October 2229, 10, and it is also the celebration of the 10th anniversary of Kleiman Jewelry. This old jewelry family company has existed since the establishment of Brilliant City. After half a century of ups and downs, it almost collapsed.

If it wasn't for the child in Ista's womb, the marriage contract with the Ji family was completed and the support of the Ji family was obtained, it would have been over by now. However, in recent years, the jewelry industry has begun to revive, and from low-end to high-end jewelry, it has quickly occupied All of this is thanks to Ista's daughter Ivy, who is now the president of the design department of Kleiman Jewelry and controls all the design and production rights of Kleiman Jewelry.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony ended in a cheerful atmosphere, and then the banquet began. It is now 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the banquet will continue until the early morning of tomorrow.

The 11 members of Chloe's family quickly occupied a table close to the chefs. Many people present knew that they wanted to get the food they wanted as soon as possible.

With a cough, the old patriarch of the Chloe family swallowed, looked at the steaks on the barbecue grill, and said immediately.

"It's been a long time since we've eaten such a good thing. Today, everyone didn't eat breakfast or lunch. You must eat well, especially you, Bea, you must eat more. You are pregnant now."

A slightly bulging abdomen, a beautiful woman nodded with a smile, a man with an unshaven beard next to her, and a man in a wrinkled old suit smiled and hugged the woman next to her.

"Of course, we have to have a good meal."

The 11 members of the family ignored the contemptuous eyes of the people around them. They were already staring at the steaks that the chefs were frying, as well as a jar of sauce with a strong aroma next to them, as well as a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits that matched the steaks. They planned to wait for the chefs After loading the plate, go over and get it immediately.

There are also some seafood items that make everyone greedy. Everyone just wants to eat everything at this banquet. At this time, a tall man has already drank a bottle of wine on his own.

"Idiot, your stomach is still empty now, if you drink too much, you won't be able to eat later."

The other people around were not as active as the Chloe family. Most of them were busy chatting. For most people, this barbecue feast at noon was meaningless. The important thing was business matters.

Istar and her husband are talking about the next cooperation with Ji Yun and his wife. Ivy is listening quietly. It has been many times, and she has not seen the shadow of the end of the season. It seems that he really left up the upper floor.

"By the way, Ji Yun, that kid at the end of Ji hasn't been seen recently."

As soon as Ista finished speaking, Ivy noticed the displeasure on the faces of Ji Yun and his husband for a short time, and she didn't hear the news about the end of the season from some classmates. Everyone didn't know what the end of the season was doing, and the contact with everyone above.

"I'm really sorry, I let you see a joke!"

Yista smiled awkwardly, looking at the chef, her parents and other people had already gathered around and began to pick up the food. For a while, the two families, including the people nearby, laughed. Pulling her mother away, she had to take her over to ease the embarrassment.

Ivy has heard about Chloe's family. It was her mother's family. In order to train her mother, Chloe's family saved money and sent Ista to the best school. As well as etiquette, including all aspects, Ista has been cultivated to be elegant and decent. Sure enough, the naturally beautiful Ista did not disappoint the Chloe family, and concluded a marriage contract with the Kleiman family very well.

Because of the strong backing of the Kleiman family, they don't have to worry about life problems at all. The Chloe family, which is already impoverished and about to go bankrupt, has been lazy since then. They have also acquired a bad habit of asking for money.

I can't count the number of times I asked for money. The young Kleiman Ista originally married didn't have a high status in the family, and he didn't have much money, but because his parents always came over from time to time, it was obvious that he was visiting his daughter. , In fact, it’s just asking for money. Every time the son-in-law Kleiman can only find a way to raise a little money for his parents-in-law, they will leave.

Even in the Kleiman family's succession crisis, when the couple's life was difficult, the members of the Chloe family still asked for money in various names, and they were not merciless at all, and they never had the slightest sense of shame. Ta can only think of ways to give money to his parents time and time again.

This vicious circle has continued until now. All the expenses of the Chloe family are borne by the Kleiman family, but now a contract has been established, and each of them will be given 1000 yuan a month on a regular basis. The Kleimans asked for money in various guises.

Now there are 11 people in Chloe’s family, and they can receive 1 yuan a month from Kleiman’s family. It is completely enough to live on the upper floor, provided that they can’t travel and entertain on the upper floor, and only buy some food to cook for themselves Food is completely sufficient, and some necessary entertainment activities can only be driven to the middle level.

Ivy was also asked for money by her grandparents, aunts, nieces, etc. Ivy didn't know it at the time, because this kind of thing was a shame to the entire Kleiman family. At that time, Ivy had only I was only 10 years old, and I didn't know it at all. I really thought that my grandparents were short of money, so I gave them the few hundred dollars I wanted to buy some clothes.

After knowing the truth, Ivy was quite angry at the time, but now she has nothing but helplessness for the Chloe family. Her father has strictly warned herself that she must not give them extra money unless they are willing to work. You can't give more than a dime.

"Ivy, come here quickly."

Grandpa yelled as soon as he passed, and Ivy greeted everyone in the family with an elegant smile.

"Mom and Dad, can you restrain yourself?"

Looking at the food piled up on the table from various chefs' counters, Estan felt quite ashamed.

"What are you afraid of, Istar, we are relatives."

"Brother, do you want to work hard for a few years and then get married? You are not young anymore."

Ista looked at his elder brother, Mousse, the oldest in the family, and reminded him, Mousse scratched his head.

"Let's talk about it in a few years."

Ivy just stood aside quietly, looking at the happy family. In the past, Ivy was a little more sensible, and felt that her grandparents and everyone in the family devoted all their efforts to cultivating her mother, just to exchange her for a long-term Meal tickets, Ivy thinks this is a bit despicable, but in reality this family really did it, and they did it.

But gradually Ivy also noticed that this lazy Chloe family is a kind of optimist. The whole family is very good at eating and drinking. They feel that there is no need to go to work and experience suffering. , just have fun every day, and having fun is the most important thing in their lives.

"By the way, Istar, go and talk to Little Kleiman, can you give us an extra 1000 yuan."

As soon as grandpa opened his mouth, Istar became embarrassed, and immediately grandma added.

"Look, Bea is about to have a baby, and there are now 12 people in our Chloe family."

Ista pressed her forehead. She has persuaded the whole family many times to let them work hard. The Kleiman family and even the Ji family are willing to help, but they don't want to work at all. The whole family just wants to continue eating, drinking and having fun for the rest of their lives. go down.

"Mom, Dad, brother, and you"

Ista looked bitterly at the whole family, not knowing what to say, but finally she gave up and nodded.

"I'll talk to my husband."

Ivy smiled and sat next to Beja. She is her cousin and the daughter of her sister-in-law. The whole family is talking about what is delicious and what is not. However, the actions of the family in the next second make Ivy A little caught off guard, the food that everyone didn't want to eat was directly put into the storage boxes they carried.

"Cousin, I've heard that the jewelry you designed recently is a big seller."

Beja said with a smile, took out the light and shadow mobile phone, and called up a light and shadow panel. Ivy nodded and looked at the jewelry designed by herself on the light and shadow panel. The female ones looked sharp and the male ones looked rounder. A pair of large and small wedding rings, made of bright metal and some small synthetic gemstones, looks very beautiful and grand, but there is an indescribable bitterness in it, because the color of men is mild, The feminine color is intense and symbolizes love.

"But the price is a bit high, 3999."

Ivy nodded and explained, not to mention the design, many places need to be polished slowly by people, and the machine cannot meet the required precision for the time being.

"Okay, my husband only gave me such a small gem when he got married."

Speaking of which, Beja raised her hand and stretched out her ring finger. On it was a silver and two-color ring inlaid with a small ruby. The husband next to Beja laughed awkwardly. His name was Tim, and he belonged to a small family that had long been shattered. The last ones left.

"Yeah, I really don't have any money, so I have no choice but to give this away, but Sister Aiwei, don't underestimate this ruby, it's passed down from our family's ancestors."

Ivy smiled awkwardly. Knowing everything about gems, she soon discovered that the ruby's luster and brightness were not enough, and there were signs of wear and tear. It should be the reason for the low density, but she didn't say anything.

"How about cousin, send us a pair!"

Ivy didn't know how to answer, when the mother opposite spoke.

"Beja!"

The whole family laughed for a moment, and Beja murmured immediately.

"What's the matter? Your family is so rich now, it's really stingy."

"By the way, Bea, has the child's name been decided yet?"

Ivy immediately changed the subject, and the whole family laughed for a while, and said a name together.

"Chloe!"

Ivy and mother Istar were both puzzled, and at this moment, grandpa explained.

"This is a girl's name. She carries everything in our family, so I named her after the family name. I found out that continuing to rely on the relief of the son-in-law's family is still not an option. In the future, we will devote all our efforts to cultivate restraint." For Roy, at least let her become a genius like Miss Michelle of the Eberren family, so that we don't have to worry about our future life."

All of a sudden, everyone chattered, saying that after Chloe was born, each of them would contribute 200 yuan a month to use as Chloe's training fund.

For a while, Ishtar and Ivy looked at the family dumbfounded, unable to say a word.

"It's best to become a member of parliament or a high-level executive in the administrative department, so that the money will come quickly."

Tim said with a smile, and Ivy swallowed. It's unbelievable that such a thing can be said so nakedly.

"Dad, if you are like this, the child's future life will be ruined"

Ista's words were interrupted by the noisy conversation. Ivy looked at the family quietly, unable to say a word. Looking at Beja's belly, Ivy knew that once the child was born, in such a special In the family, the road from childhood to adulthood may be more bumpy.

Chloe's entire family has declined to the point where they have sold everything they can sell, and there is nothing left except for the house in the family area. It is impossible for them to push this child to the upper echelons of power. .

"By the way, Yista, please see if there is a suitable family member, and recommend Chloe for us."

Ai Wei looked at her grandfather with a serious expression. Although the immunity of the family has long been abolished and family marriages need to be brought under control, there are still many people in the family who are marrying, which is almost universal in the entire family circle. It is an unwritten rule. This kind of marriage is more common in some families that have gone into decline, or those families that try to marry for the purpose of power.

The children of most families are still only able to obey the orders of their parents for the sake of the family. Ivy remembered the major event that shocked the entire family circle in the past. The resistance made by the classmate’s mother, Wilsey, was only in a short period of time. It had no effect, and now, the family has returned to the way it used to be, especially after Alpha left, this situation intensified.

Ivy looked at Beja's belly solemnly, she felt a tingling sensation on her back, and sweat began to flow out, she had to do something for this child, because she was the same, for Clan must marry end of season.

The Kleiman family and the Ji family have cooperated to the point of harmony. It is impossible to cancel their marriage, but this unborn child still has a future.

Chloe's family is still chattering about Chloe's future, how to train Chloe, and which school to send to. In the end, everyone discussed and discussed. Sending Chloe to Shengde is the most important thing. good result.

"Ista, you have to help us. After all, this is the hope of our Chloe family as a whole. Little Chloe is your grandniece. You have to help us. Shengde's tuition is not ordinary. It’s too high for us to bear.”

Ishtar became a little embarrassed, but still nodded.

"I'll talk to my husband."

The family cheered, wishing that Chloe would pop out of her stomach as soon as possible, so that they could live a good life immediately.

Ivy really didn't know what to say, but she felt extremely uneasy in her heart, fine beads of sweat oozed from both sides of her forehead, her breathing became a little difficult, and this inexplicable feeling of discomfort filled her body , if there is still a chance to say it now, and if you don't do anything, the child's future will be miserable.

Ivy has realized that she has to do something, but she doesn't know where to start. At this moment, Ivy's mind is thinking of Gene. If it wasn't for Gene, Ivy might also be with her The rest of the family are generally sinking in their fate, but Jinn said that even if it is a predetermined fate, they can still live as beautiful as flowers in the process.

砰

Accompanied by a knocking sound, Ivy pressed her hands on the table and stood up, and the family who were still talking and laughing for a while looked at Ivy.

"Just leave this child to me? Grandpa, I will be responsible for teaching this child."

"Of course, cousin, you are so good, and so beautiful and smart, this child will definitely be like you in the future."

The family immediately clapped their hands and made a decision. Ivy breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. She looked at the excited smile on Beja's face and closed her eyes silently. This was the first time in her life that she made such a decision. Ivy looked at Beja's belly, she didn't know how to teach a child.

Ivy only had the experience of teaching others once, and that was still in the primary education stage. In order to help Niya make up lessons, she did a good job, but Ivy didn't have the confidence in how to raise a child.

Seeing the hesitation and uneasiness on her daughter's face, Ista took her daughter away from the family temporarily with an excuse, and then asked in a place near a flower bed.

"Ivy, why did you say that all of a sudden?"

Ivy hummed.

"I don't know what's going on, I just feel that the child is quite pitiful, and everything was arranged before he was born."

Ivy is very clear that if the child is not very smart, everything after birth will be a disaster for her. Even if the child is smart enough, she will be tied up by the Chloe family. Their despicable living habits will make The future of this child is very difficult.

Ista pressed her forehead in discomfort. She knew the nature of her family. It was only in the past 20 years since she got married that she slowly changed some deep-rooted things.

"It will be difficult for Ivy, wanting to teach a child, especially the situation at your grandparents' house."

Ivy nodded.

"Mom, I think she's really pitiful if no one cares about that child."

Ista nodded understandingly, put her arms around her daughter, and then walked towards Ji Yun and the others. Ista was a little worried about some things. After asking her daughter, she had no feelings for Ji Mo at all, but she could only be passive. You have to accept all this, and the date of the two families' marriage has not yet been set, and the daughter is ready, but Ji's family doesn't know what happened, and they are still delaying.

"Do you know something?"

Ista asked, and Ivy shook her head. She glanced back at Chloe's family, who were still happily having a banquet, without being affected by everything around them.

Although Ai Wei dislikes the behavior of the grandparents' family, but for the bad atmosphere of their family and their self-contained behavior, they think it is actually very good, at least very independent.

Chloe's family basically didn't care about other people's eyes from before, and lived completely in their own family world. From childhood to adulthood, grandparents, including my uncles and aunts, would give themselves a red envelope every year during the New Year, although there are many red envelopes It was only a few dollars at the time, but this habit has not changed until now.

The Chloe family has a good side and a bad side, which is a bit indescribable for Ivy.

At this time, there was a commotion. Some guests present were very dissatisfied with the behavior of the members of the Chloe family. When they were getting food, they had a dispute with them. For a while, many people around them leaned over. Yi Star ran over in a hurry, but at this time Ivy held her mother and shook her head.

"Ivy, what are you pulling me for?"

Ivy shook her head and signaled her mother to wait a while before going over. Ivy noticed that some people from the big families at the scene looked like they were watching a joke, and the ones who had a conflict with the Chloe family were from the Eberren family. , the current situation would be very embarrassing if the mother, who is now a member of the Kleiman family, and himself were in the past.

All kinds of misdeeds of the Chloe family are no longer a secret in the family circle, and they were the ones who were rude first. If my mother said good things for the Chloe family in the past, it would embarrass the Kleiman family.

There are still many businessmen who do not belong to the family, all waiting to see the jokes. This kind of circle atmosphere is the atmosphere after the fusion of the family circle and businessmen today. If there are some news in the report tomorrow, it will affect to the share price of the Kleiman family company.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it."

Ivy recovered her smile, and walked over slowly, and soon some onlookers got out of the way. Ivy saw that grandpa and grandma were arguing with each other, but the other side was contemptuous, and kept on talking. The people who mocked the Chloe family, all 11 members of the family were arguing with each other excitedly, and other members of the Eberren family also came over.

"Everyone!"

At this time, Ivy stood in the middle of the two groups of people, and the quarrel calmed down a little. Grandpa and grandma seemed to hope that Ivy would help them out. Ivy just kept smiling, and then raised a hand and pointed to the sky.

"The weather is nice today, isn't it!"

Both parties in the quarrel, including the onlookers, looked at Ivy with some doubts, not knowing what she was going to do.

"Today's weather is very good, isn't it! Grandpa and grandma, Mr. Charlie!"

Ai Wei said, looking at the middle-aged man next to him, he smiled disdainfully.

"Miss Ivy, you Kleiman family should be careful, after all, this kind of scoundrel-like family will affect the reputation of your family as a whole."

Ivy smiled without nodding or shaking her head, but looked at Beja, then walked over with a smile.

"Don't get too excited, Bea, you still have a baby in your womb, too much excitement will have a bad effect on the child, and so will everyone."

As Ivy said, she turned around and bowed slightly.

"Mr. Charlie, I apologize to you for being rude to my grandparents and other family members, but please take back those insulting words. Even if the Chloe family is declining or poor, they are still my relatives. I I am also a member of the Chloe family. As for what you just said, Mr. Charlie, is the term "bitch" too much for a child who has not yet been born! The unborn child has nothing to do with it, does it?"

The members of the Eberren family became embarrassed for a while. Facing Ivy with a serious expression, Charlie had to say sorry, and then the people on both sides left.

"I'm sorry, all the guests, I made everyone laugh today."

Ivy and the family of grandparents and grandparents returned to the table, and the family was still talking about those people in the Eberren family just now.

"What's the big deal, they are just a branch of the Eberren family."

As Tim said, the whole family nodded again and again. Ivy looked at such a family, and then pressed her forehead and said.

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, if you really want to eat in the future, you can come to the place where I live, and I will cook for you. Don't go to those unnecessary banquets, can you?"

For a while, the whole family stared at Ivy with bright eyes, and began to speak flattering words, and the corners of Ivy's eyes twitched slightly in embarrassment.

"It's just that I can't come here often. After all, I still have my own work to do, can I?"
