Zuko’s expression changed as he tried hard to hold back his laughter.

He thought he should have recorded that just now and let his father listen to it!

Which family man was in such a miserable state aside from Zephyr?

“Zeke!” Melissa smiled and looked at Zuko. “What would you like to have for lunch? I’ll make it for you!”

“Oh, no need.” Zuko quickly got up. “Auntie, you take good care of Mr. Jenner. I’ll go to the supermarket.”

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the house and did not hear Melissa calling out from behind, “Lina

doesn’t have classes in the afternoon. I’ll let her come to the store too and work with you!”

The sound of her voice grew distant, and Zuko had no idea what she was shouting. She probably wanted to keep

him for lunch!

Zuko chuckled and quickened his pace.

There were not many customers in the small supermarket in the afternoon, and he had a rare moment of leisure.

When someone suddenly entered, he sat bored behind the cash register, flipping through his phone.

“Oh, Zeke, you’re here alone!”

Zuko paused for a moment and looked closely.

The middle-aged woman was slightly chubby with an exaggerated attire, draped in bright red and purple colors.

She carried a branded handbag, but it looked like a fake when she held it—it gave off a counterfeit vibe.

The woman’s eyes curved with a smile. They were fixed on him as soon as she entered.

Zuko could not stand her gaze and immediately retreated.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that Melissa’s permed hair was much more pleasing to the eyes compared to this

woman’s exaggerated hairdo!

“Zeke, why are you spacing out?” The middle-aged woman looked at the young man in front of her like a son-in-

law, becoming more satisfied the longer she looked. “Don’t you remember who I am? I’m Mrs. Nash!”

Zuko struggled to extract the memories related to “Mrs. Nash” from his brain.

Several families lived along the lane, and one of them seemed to have the surname Nash. The woman of the

household seemed to be… Mary Nash?

The Nashes owned a hair salon, and their shop was also on this street.

Melissa often made appointments with Mary to go dancing, but Melissa did not like Mary and vice versa. In short,

they were friendly rivals who competed openly and secretly.

Mary also had a daughter who was similar in age to Lina.

However, unlike Lina, the Nash daughter did not attend an elite university but went to an ordinary vocational school

to learn a trade and earn money.

Mary often made fun of Melissa, saying, “You spent so much money on tuition fees on a lost cause.”

Melissa did not back down and mocked her in return, saying, “We’re raising our daughter to let her broaden her

horizons, so she won’t be fooled by someone offering her a piece of candy in the future! Unlike some people who

treat their daughters as money-making tools!”

In spite of it, the reality was that after Mary’s daughter graduated from vocational school, she returned home to

take over the family’s small shop and ran it successfully, even preparing to open a third branch.

While the Nash daughter was making a lot of money for her family, Lina was still struggling with her thesis,

spending a lot of her family’s money.

Every time Mary’s daughter came back dressed lavishly, Melissa would tightly shut her own front door.

Recently, though, Melissa’s proudest moment was when Zuko appeared, holding up the family’s pride!

What about Mary’s daughter? It was said that her boyfriend had recently dumped her!

Although Melissa did not show it on the surface, she was secretly delighted that she finally had the chance to

triumph over Mary.

With this thought in mind, Zuko smiled lightly, more or less understanding Mary’s purpose for coming to him.

It turned out that the competition between the housewives was so intense, and the hierarchy of disdain among

them was so real.

“Mrs. Nash, hello.” Zuko respectfully nodded. “Feel free to look around if you want to buy something.”

“Oh, sure! Sure!” Mary smiled and walked in, but her gaze never left Zuko.

This young man was truly wonderful! How did he become the Jenners’ son-in-law?

It was said that Lina was forced to accept this marriage. Everyone on the street knew that she had offended the

Grist heiress and that the Grists had matched her with a truck driver with a criminal record.

It was just that… with such looks, temperament, and capability, a criminal record could be forgiven!

Moreover, it was not like it was the type of criminal record involving murder and arson. It was just bad luck, getting

caught by the police forging fake credentials, which led to his imprisonment.

The young man was clearly a talented technician!

The more Mary thought about it, the happier she became, pondering how to make Zuko divorce Lina until she

accidentally bumped her head against a shelf with a loud “thud”!

“Ouch, oh my… I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry!” Ignoring her reddened forehead, Mary hurriedly picked up the items

that fell on the ground and placed them on the cashier’s counter. “Okay… I’ll buy all of these. Calculate the

amount!”

Zuko looked at her and started ringing up the items.

Since there were quite a few items, he had to go through them one by one. With a smile, Mary leaned in and asked

him, “Zeke, where are you from?”

“Centrolis,” Zuko coldly replied.

“Oh, Centrolis is great! My daughter took beauty and hairstyling courses there! You see, you have such a

connection with my daughter!” said Mary.

‘What?’ Zuko frowned, not quite understanding the logic behind this.

Mary placed her bag on the counter and continued smiling. “Zeke, you’ve been with the Jenners for a while, right?”

Zuko simply nodded without saying a word, not even bothering to lift his eyes.

“Oh, then, have you noticed something is wrong with them?”

Zuko’s hands paused.

Mary continued on her own. “Anyway, everyone in our neighborhood feels something wrong with them! The

problem lies with Lina…”

Zuko grew annoyed, his gaze cold and his voice low. He pushed all the items into a bag and placed it in front of her.

“Mrs. Nash, it’s a total of $46.50. I’ll round it down for you. $46 is fine.”

“Okay, okay!” Mary hurriedly paid and then said mysteriously, “Zeke, you’ve only been here for a short time, so you

don’t know… But once you spend more time with them, you’ll realize what the problem with Lina is!”

“Mrs. Nash, are you done? “

“Not yet!” Mary could not see his increasingly gloomy expression at all. “Let me tell you. Based on how Jesse and

his wife are, how could they raise an exceptionally talented girl like Lina? Everyone in the neighborhood can see it,

but they just don’t say it!”

Zuko had wanted to push her out earlier, but his gaze slightly darkened after hearing these words, and he watched

Mary quietly.

“Why do you say that?”
