The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3076

Claire wiped the sweat off her forehead and smiled as she said, "It might look like there are a lot of dishes, but it will not seem too much when we eat it.

Moreover, since it's your birthday dinner, it's only natural for it to be a little grander. Besides, it was no hard work at all." 2

Jacob also smiled and said, "Charlie, why don't the both of us have a drink together too?"

Charlie nodded and said, "Of course I will have to drink with you. I'll go to the storage room and get some liquor."

Elaine hurriedly said, "Charlie, bring a bottle of red wine here too. Claire and I can also drink a little with you."

"Okay," Charlie agreed before he asked Claire, "Wife, can you drink?"

Claire nodded as she smiled and said, "I'll have to drink even if I cannot drink, but if the both of us are going to drink, we will not be able to drive to the concert later."

Charlie spoke up, "It's fine. I have a way to metabolize all the alcohol within a short period of time."

Claire laughed helplessly and said, "You can really

brag. You are even saying that you can metabolize alcohol now. Do you know that it takes more than ten hours to metabolize alcohol? Not driving after drinking alcohol is a matter of principle. You cannot take the risk just because you are good at holding your liquor." 2

Charlie could actually use Reiki to metabolize all the alcohol, but he also knew that his wife would not believe him. In that case, he did not need to explain too much.

So, Charlie simply smiled and said, "You're right, Wife. We shouldn't drive since we are drinking. We can do this, then. We can drink now, and we can then use our cell phone to call for a taxi when we want to go to the concert later."

"That's more like it!" Claire laughed and said, "It'd be good for us not to drive today too. There would be at least tens of thousands of people at Quinn Golding's concert today. Therefore, the parking at the venue would also be very troublesome. So, we might as well take a taxi there. After that, we can just walk back home from the venue after the concert. I estimate that it will only take us about thirty to forty minutes to walk back. We can just treat it as a walk, right?"

Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

At this time, Jacob smiled shamelessly as he said, "Oh, my good son-in-law, remember to grab two bottles of the good Moutai when you go down later. I've been craving for those Moutai for many days now!" Charlie smiled and said, "Okay. I'll take the best Moutai, then!"

Elaine hurriedly said, "Charlie, a bottle of our family's best Moutai is worth at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. It would simply be too wasteful for someone like Jacob to drink it. So, why don't you just take a bottle of the best Moutai for yourself and simply give him the most inferior bottle?"

Jacob was instantly very depressed as he protested," Elaine, what do you mean by that? It is all something that is going into the stomach anyway. Therefore, it is all going into a stomach regardless of whose stomach it is. So, why would it be a waste if it were to go into my stomach?" 1

Elaine curled her lips and said, "Go, go, hurry up and go into the bathroom to take a good look at yourself in the mirror! Take a good look at your old face! Do you think that someone like you is worthy of drinking Moutai that is worth a few hundred thousand dollars a bottle? If the news that you have drunk

Moutai that is worth a few hundred thousand dollars were to get out to the public, the Moutai stocks would definitely fall immediately in the morning tomorrow!" 4

"You..." Jacob was so agitated that he could only fling his hands as he jumped twice on the spot and say angrily, "You really have a very bad and deriding mouth! You are indeed pissing me off!" Elaine said seriously, "I did not deride you. I was simply speaking the truth. A good horse matches the good saddle, and you are at most a donkey pulling the mill. You are not even enough for the saddle, and you can only be given a donkey cover at best! So, you should not drink such an expensive bottle of Moutai. You should just go to the supermarket and buy a bottle of beer that is more than ten dollars at the entrance. That would suit you best!" 2

Jacob clutched onto his chest as he said to Charlie and Claire, "Did you see that? It is Charlie's birthday today, but your mum just has to try and piss me off! Perhaps in the future, Charlie's birthday would also be the anniversary of my death. My good son-in-law, I'm sorry for giving you a hard time!"

Claire also felt helpless, and she spoke up, "Oh, Mom! You should just stop talking about it. Aren't you also using skincare products that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for each set? Dad did not say anything about it at all. So, why are you constantly nagging at him?"

Jacob's eyes lit up immediately, and he blurted out excitedly, "That's right! Elaine! You said that my old face is not worthy of drinking Moutai that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. So, why is your old face worth of using skincare products that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, then? Don't forget that we are a couple! No matter what it is, the both of us are quite similar in strength. So, if you said that I am the donkey pulling the mill, you must be the camel that is carrying the cargo, then. Who is better than

whom?"

Elaine felt as though she had been greatly humiliated, and she cursed angrily, "D*mn you, you old fart! How can a good-for-nothing like you be compared to me? Your old face is all wrinkly like a shaggy dog, and it is nothing like my smooth and fair face! So, how dare you say that the both of us are quite similar in strength?"

Jacob was extremely angry, and he

looked at Charlie in frustration and

anger as he blurted out, "Look! I said that it would be a complete waste for you to give her such an expensive set of skincare products. That skincare product would be more suitable to be used o ma dog's face as compared to her face! You should have listened to me back then and given her a set of fake products in the first place! Anyway, a country bumpkin like her would not have been able to tell the difference!" 4
