Meng Ying wanted to do something, but she fell asleep not long after.

Mu Yuansheng hurriedly left the bedroom like a little lamb that had escaped from a wolf’s den. He was extremely nervous.

“Ninth Master, are you alright?” Ah Da saw that he seemed out of breath.

He could not help but worry.

Mu Yuansheng loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. “I’m fine.”

That woman was a vixen who was here to torture him.

“After all the commotion today, Boss Lan didn’t come out. He’s probably hiding from us on purpose.” Ah Da went straight to the point.

Mu Yuansheng took out a cigarette and placed it between his lips. He lit it up and took a puff. His long fingers pinched it as he puffed out the cigarette. He narrowed his eyes and said, “He’ll always show up when we open the door for business.”

“Ninth Master, is Madam really dumb?” Ah Da asked carefully.

Mu Yuansheng remained silent.

He knew that Meng Ying was not stupid. Instead, she was very smart.

The more this was the case, the more suspicious it was.

Why did a normal person pretend to be stupid for so many years and no one had ever noticed?

Even Meng Shiliang did not know that his precious daughter was not an idiot.

If it wasn’t for some reason, she wouldn’t have been able to remain so calm and act like a fool for so many years.

He still could not find out why after checking her background.

Mu Yuansheng became even more curious about his wife.

…

In the evening, Meng Shiliang, Zhang Di, Meng Yuan, and Meng Xin all came.

Meng Shiliang only heard about Meng Ying’s incident at Lan Yun Clubhouse much later. No one mentioned Meng Ying’s name, but someone had taken a video.

Other people only knew that Meng Shiliang’s eldest daughter was ugly and silly. They would never associate her with the lucky girl who was in the limelight.

Meng Shiliang was both surprised and delighted when he saw the video.

However, he was also afraid that she would be targeted if she had stolen the limelight. That was why he hurried over.

Seeing that Meng Ying was fine, he was relieved.

Mu Yuansheng asked them to stay for dinner, and Meng Shiliang did not turn him down.

“This is the chicken soup your mom had specially made for you. Drink some while it’s still hot.” Meng Shiliang looked at the thermos on the table.

Meng Ying thanked Zhang Di politely.

Looking at Meng Ying’s current state, Zhang Di felt gratified.

“Auntie Lian, heat the chicken soup up,” Mu Yuansheng instructed.

Auntie Lian took the chicken soup away. Before long, a table full of dishes was served.

This was the first time both families were present.

The chicken soup that Zhang Di made was very fragrant.

Its meat was very tender as well. Everyone each had a bowl of it.

While chatting, Meng Shiliang was also observing Mu Yuansheng.

Mu Yuansheng was rather considerate towards Meng Ying. He picked up some food for her and ate the piece of fatty meat that Meng Ying didn’t like. He didn’t seem impatient at all.

Meng Ying, on the other hand, didn’t have a good temper. The only thing that was different was her makeup.

Most of the time, Meng Ying was bullying Mu Yuansheng.

Mu Yuansheng had a good temper. He would not argue with her and would always listen to her.

Their interaction must not have been made up.

Meng Shiliang was relieved. Before he left, he told Mu Yuansheng, “Yingying is a special girl, and I think I’ve spoiled her too much. I’m afraid you’ll have to put in more effort to take care of her in the future.”

“You are too polite. She is my wife, I will definitely treat her well.” Mu Yuansheng’s promise was not that impassioned. Instead, it was very ordinary.

After sending Meng Shiliang off, Meng Xin, who was in the car, looked at Mu Yuansheng who was still standing on the steps.

What a decent man.

He was good-looking, gentle, and nice to Meng Ying.

What kind of luck did Meng Ying have to marry such a good man?

“Dad, I’ve never seen Mr. Mu before. How’s his family background? What’s his character like? Is he sincere in marrying Sister?” Meng Xin asked Meng Shiliang anxiously after the man was out of her sight.

Meng Shiliang said, “I have thought it through before marrying Yingying to him. You don’t have to worry.”

“That’s good.” Meng Xin said again, “Didn’t Sister get a raw stone that is worth hundreds of millions? Why didn’t you ask Sister to give it to you? Our company is currently lacking the best jade. We should be able to sell the piece that she has for a good price.”

Meng Shiliang couldn’t help but take another look at his adopted daughter. His expression darkened. “She’s already married, and that’s her property. Xinxin, you have to work harder. I heard from your supervisor that your business ability needs to be improved. You should learn more from the seniors when you’re free.”

Meng Xin felt like she had been slapped. She smiled unnaturally. “I understand, Dad.”

…

When Meng Ying woke up the next day, Mu Yuansheng was already gone.

That man had obeyed whatever she said in front of Meng Shiliang last night. He even ate the fatty meat that she did not eat.

Humph.

She would never believe that he married her without a motive.

After eating, she brought Ah Da out.

She had plenty of money. All of them, Meng Shiliang, Zhang Di and Mu Yuansheng, had given her a bank card.

When Mu Yuansheng gave her the card, he told her that she should spend her husband’s money instead of other people’s money.

She wanted to kiss him when she took the card from him.

Men who give women money to spend were extremely handsome.

She happily spent money and even went to look at buildings.

Ah Da followed behind her, feeling a little flustered.

With the speed and extent of her spending, she didn’t know if Ninth Master could afford her.

“Madam, are you thinking of buying a house?” Ah Da was obligated to persuade her.

Meng Ying thought about it and shook her head.

Ah Da heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Luckily she wasn’t going to buy a house.’

“I want to buy a building.” Meng Ying gestured to him. “A few buildings.”

Ah Da wished that he was deaf.

Meng Ying patted Ah Da who was so shocked that his expression changed. “Don’t be nervous. I’m just saying.”

Ah Da heaved a long sigh of relief.

“Meng Ying!”

Zou Jiao became moody as soon as she saw Meng Ying.

She did not sleep well the entire night thinking of how Meng Ying stole the limelight yesterday.

Even when her father sent people to stop her, not only did they return empty-handed, they were beaten badly.

She would get his revenge no matter what.

Meng Ying narrowed her eyes and tilted her head to look at her. “What’s the matter?”

Zou Jiao was furious seeing that she acted as if nothing had happened. “You better return the thing to me or I’ll call the police.”

“What thing?”

“Are you still acting dumb? The raw stone from yesterday belonged to my dad.” Zou Jiao gritted her teeth. “I can give you another three million on top of the twelve million. Give me back that raw stone.”

Meng Ying laughed.

She looked at Ah Da and pointed at her own nose. “Do you think that I am a fool?”

“…”

Wasn’t she a fool to begin with?

But it didn’t look like it now.

He shook his head.

“Does she look like a fool?” Meng Ying pointed at Zou Jiao.

Ah Da nodded vigorously. “Yes.”

Meng Ying clapped her hands. “That’s right. Do you want to buy my raw stones that are worth hundreds of millions with 15 million? Are you stupid?”

In the past, Meng Ying was often called a fool.

The tables had turned today.

Zou Jiao’s face turned red. “You…”

“Aren’t you going to call the police? Go ahead! If you dared to call the police, your father might break your legs.” Meng Ying was very arrogant and did not take her seriously at all.
