Xu Yuan felt everyone was trying to discipline her.　

As soon as Xu Nuo let her go, Mrs. Xu called her into the room. 

Mrs. Xu didn’t instruct her as before, but put a card in her hand and said with a strong heart, “Mom knows you don’t need money, but you should keep this card, it is convenient to have spare money later…”

This gesture didn’t make Xu Yuan uncomfortable. Not to mention the concubines of the former palace. Even the junior eunuchs under her guidance wanted to dictate the people around, but silver was indispensable. Money can make the mare go. She possesses a general understanding of this era. Everyone is equal. Matter of fact, no comment on the common inequality, but at least many fair rights and privileges as per laws. However, to some extent, money is more important than rights. 

Xu Yuan also didn’t refuse and accepted it readily.

She needs money, and it will be convenient to achieve anything.

When Mrs. Xu saw she said nothing, it relieved her in her heart. “Xiao Yuan, you differ from those people. Mom’s insight into people was worse than yours. Don’t mingle with those individuals. Splashing yourself with puddles will only make you a laughingstock.”

She should talk about the former lover of the original owner.

Xu Yuan didn’t know how to investigate these things, but she had died once. Mrs. Xu was not a snobbish person. If she didn’t like that person so much she must have her reasons. At least in Xu Yuan’s view, Mrs. Xu was smarter than the original Xu Yuan.

“Well, I understand.” Xu Yuan nodded her head.

“It’s good to know. Your brother has done a lot for you. Before the Meng family let you go to work in the Meng Corporation, you stubbornly lost your temper and refused to go. It wasted an excellent opportunity. You can’t be willful this time. Your brother said he would talk with Zhengrong again today. If Zhengrong lets you go to work in the past, you can’t throw a tantrum.”

Xu’s family also owned a business and could arrange a job for Xu Yuan, but it showed incompetency. It’s not a problem to invest to expand a company for her to practice. It’s better to go to Meng Cooperation. Meng Zhengrong was now the in-charge of Meng Cooperation. It’s only better if Xu Yuan got familiar with Meng Corporation earlier.

Not considering the offer with the pity aspect. She could look after him in the office and prevent him from involving in any affairs is not bad, right?

It’s just the previous Xu Yuan was disappointing and didn’t want to go to work. When Mrs. Xu saw that Xu Yuan was recently being sensible, she let her son talk to Meng Zhengrong again.

As soon as Xu Yuan heard it, she knew what Mrs. Xu was up to. She didn’t want her daughter to be a wealthy wife like a vase, but a person with genuine power in both the Meng family and the Meng Corporation.

Have to say that Mrs. Xu’s consideration was comprehensive.

Xu Yuan also had this idea, and she graciously agreed, “Okay.”

If there are circumstantial situations, it is necessary to grasp power. Take the example of her previous life in the imperial palace, why would all of those imperial concubines rack their brain to ascend the position?

Xu Yuan has been in the power center of the palace for so many years, and she had seen through it for a long time. A petition is nothing at all, It’s all as transient as fleeting clouds, it can’t be seized. What you seized on your hand only belongs to you.

“Recently you have been very sensible,” Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter so well behaved that she couldn’t help it. She leaned out and held her daughter in her arms. Something complicated her eyes, “Sometimes mother wants you to be willful, as long as you have fun, but I can’t let you get into trouble.”

If you could, who wouldn’t want to spoil their children to heaven, live happily, and live as much as you want, but could you? No, now her daughter had already chosen to be the daughter-in-law of the Meng family. She will see her daughter become the unparalleled mistress of the Meng family while living happily.

Xu Yuan did not speak, and just quietly hugged Mrs. Xu back.

On the other side, Xu Nuo pulled Meng Zhengrong into his study on the grounds of talking about business.

“You guessed. Just now I had a chat with Xiao Yuan for a while,” Xu Nuo took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet. He poured Meng Zhengrong a glass and handed it to him.

Meng Zhengrong waved his hand, “I won’t drink. I have to drive home later.”

Xu Nuo didn’t hesitate and drank the whisky in one shot. He leaned out and pulled the tie to make himself comfortable, “Zhengrong, I won’t beat around the bush with you. Xiao Yuan had not yet done anything to upset you. You also don’t get angry with her. ”

Meng Zhengrong raised his eyebrow and pondered, “Not yet?”

Xu Nuo could not stifle a laugh, merely responded by concealing his mouth with his hand, “I can’t talk about the matter, don’t take offense.”

“Come on, say what you want to say, let’s not be modest,” Meng Zhengrong glanced at him.

“Well, I’ll just say it then. Originally, I don’t like cementing our old ties with marriage,” Xu Nuo sat down and said. Meng Zhengrong toyed with the lighter and said nothing.

“As you know, I didn’t have a say in this. Although Xiao Yuan married you in spite, I know my sister. Although she is a little headstrong, she isn’t confused. You need to look at her as my younger sister. She is too young to be sensible. Don’t quarrel with her.”

Xu Nuo knew Meng Zhengrong did not seem to mind the matter. Maybe he doesn’t mind it, but it doesn’t mean he will agree with Xu Yuan’s way of doing it. It only showed what Xu Yuan has done is not to the level to make him lose his temper.

His wife got angry because she saw her ex-boyfriend and smashed his car. Regardless of whether Xu Yuan did it out of anger or jealousy. When this came out, Meng Zhengrong would lose face.

Now Meng Zhengrong does not mind, but who said he wouldn’t mind in the future?

Therefore, he must untie this knot before he cares.

Meng Zhengrong pondered for a while. He spoke slowly, “Xu Nuo, I don’t want to see this happen again. ”

In other words, Meng Zhengrong still had patience with Xu Yuan. His best friend’s sister and his wife. It was not that he was angry at her, especially since his relationship with Xu Yuan was not close. This time, he was understanding and didn’t mind. It did not mean his patience will last until the next time.

Xu Nuo nodded. “Understood.”

He knew Meng Zhengrong well. They had always been classmates before college, and their relationship was also very good. When Meng Zhengrong was in his twenties, he acted in a high-profile manner. He also had many love affairs, but he was seldom conscientious or could say he didn’t care at all.

He was especially good at dating. Some say before that Meng Zhengrong is the best player in A city.

Originally, everyone thought Meng Zhengrong would always wander the world like this. Never expected, after taking over Meng Cooperation, he became low key. Now, he can’t even see his shadow in nightclubs. After a few years, he became the most promising president of A city.

No matter how you look at Xu Yuan, she can’t control Meng Zhengrong, a veteran who had seen the world.

Xu Nuo believed Meng Zhengrong was already serious, but he didn’t believe his sister would let Meng Zhengrong put his heart on her.　　

“You should not for this matter, should you?”

It’s no big deal, Meng Zhengrong thought. Xu Nuo should know he won’t mind at present.

Xu Nuo sneered, “Because of your glorious past, my father and mother are not at ease.  My baby sister had jumped into the fire pit. So let me come and tell you, if possible, let Xiao Yuan go to work in Meng Cooperation.” 

“Is she willing to go to work?” Meng Zhengrong asked.

He doesn’t object to Xu Yuan coming to work in the company. Some departments still required their people to manage them.

There are few people he can trust.

“Rest assured,” Xu Nuo loosened his grip, “No one wants to go to work, nor do I. We aren’t children anymore. Besides, after reading books for so many years, we have to do something for society.”

Meng Zhengrong suspiciously looked at the Xu Nuo, “She should be willing to go to work. Otherwise, she might think I forced her to go to work.” 

“Why? Are you afraid of her opinion towards you?” Xu Nuo asked rhetorically.

“Not afraid, but you and I both know she is young, and I don’t want her to have a rebellious attitude towards me.”

Xu Nuo didn’t resist this time, stifling the laughter, “She is 23, not 13, where comes the rebellious attitude.”

Frankly, in Meng Zhengrong’s mind, he still treats Xu Yuan as a child. There is a big age gap between them.

He is thirty-one. She is twenty-three. They have an eight-year gap. It sounded like nothing to worry about. But thinking about it, when he was dating openly at eighteen, she attended elementary school…

Uh, does it count as old cows eating young grass?

He doesn’t want Xu Yuan to have a rebellious attitude towards him, which is unconducive to cultivating feelings between a husband and wife. He was looking forward to becoming a father before becoming an old man in other people’s mouths.

The author has something to say:

The male lead is a very good person.

He’s in his 30s. Such an excellent man can’t have any past

ML is also a sly person, but he will pretend to be good in front of his wife

But no matter how sly he is, he can’t compare with the FL → _ →
