After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 162 Flattered
Meng Weiyuan: "It's nothing, there's something dirty up ahead."

Yustia: "???"

Just then, Jiang Lingyu arrived. When Meng Weiyuan saw her, he released the hand that was covering You Sijia's eyes and nodded slightly to Jiang Lingyu.

Jiang Lingyu was somewhat flattered by this.

After all, every time she met Meng Weiyuan, it seemed to be at a "good time." Either she was out with You Sijia looking for men, or she was listening to men sing.

Little did she know that one day, Meng Weiyuan would want to see her attract You Sijia's attention.

Upon hearing Jiang Lingyu's voice, You Sijia immediately forgot about Meng Weiyuan's "immature" behavior. She let go of Meng Weiyuan, took Jiang Lingyu's arm, and then subconsciously looked at Jiang Lingyu's stomach, asking, "Was my goddaughter obedient last night?"

These words made Jiang Lingyu both laugh and cry. She was still in the first trimester, her belly wasn't showing at all, and the little bean sprout in her belly was just a little bean sprout. How could there be any talk of obedience or disobedience?
“Your goddaughter is as docile as a soybean now. If she becomes disobedient, we’ll have to wait several months before we can talk to her again.”

Yustia said "Oh," still finding it amazing.

“I’m going with Meng Weiyuan to buy a gift for my goddaughter this afternoon. Send me your current address later, and I’ll come find you tonight,” You Sijia said.

Jiang Lingyu: "You don't need to spend any money, Xie Yuci will prepare all of this."

"He's the child's biological father, that's only right. I'm giving it to my goddaughter, I'm happy to. Besides, it's not for you, are you going to refuse on behalf of my goddaughter? Did he agree to it?" Yusjia snorted.

What else could Jiang Lingyu say? She didn't correct You Sijia's use of "god-daughter." Although she couldn't see the child's gender yet, she secretly wanted a daughter.

Jiang Lingyu nudged You Sijia lightly with her shoulder. "You just said you went with President Meng to buy clothes for my daughter?"

"correct."

Jiang Lingyu's expression turned somewhat strange for a moment. "President Meng didn't say anything?"

"What is he going to say?" Yu Sijia asked, puzzled. But she quickly realized what he meant and pursed her lips. Thinking of what Meng Weiyuan had said last night, Yu Sijia couldn't help but laugh. "Are you talking about the child? Don't worry, we don't have that problem right now."

Although Jiang Lingyu didn't know what Yu Sijia and Meng Weiyuan had talked about, she felt relieved now that the two seemed to have no problems, and then gave Yu Sijia a thumbs up.

"Impressive," Jiang Lingyu said.

She had really underestimated You Sijia before. She never expected that she could be so capable of handling someone like Meng Weiyuan so well.

In family marriages like theirs, children are naturally of paramount importance.

Not only the heir, but also a key factor in whether the marriage appears stable to outsiders.

It can be said that children are an important means of maintaining stability.

Just like Hu Baoshan's wedding with her older brother today, Jiang Lingyu had heard from her family before that Hu Baoshan should get pregnant within six months.

Their family situation is somewhat special. After all, Jiang Chengjie is getting old, and the matter of finding a proper heir is of utmost urgency, so the pressure falls on Hu Baoshan.

Although Meng Weiyuan's family situation wasn't as complicated as her older brother's, Meng Weiyuan wasn't exactly a young man either. At least the Meng family was probably looking forward to the child in You Sijia's belly.

Meng Weiyuan compromised with You Sijia.

At today's wedding banquet, neither the bride nor the groom were particularly close to You Sijia and Jiang Lingyu, so the two were quite comfortable, sitting in a pavilion in the outdoor park and whispering to each other. This spot was located at one of the highest points on the island, offering panoramic views of the surrounding sea.

Blue skies, white clouds, and azure waters inexplicably put people in a good mood.

"Now that your older brother is married, the family business shouldn't be affected anymore, right?" Only You Sijia and Jiang Lingyu were there, so she asked directly.

Jiang Lingyu nodded, "With the Hu family, a wealthy family behind us, and my father originally intended to hand over the equipment business to him, after Hu Baoshan registered her marriage with him, our family received her shares. Nominally, it was for her, but who doesn't know what my father meant? Actually, he was giving my older brother more leverage."

"So what are you going to do now?" Yusjia asked with some concern.

Jiang Lingyu's decision to switch jobs to the rival research institute had already caused a major rift with her family.

It's unlikely that she can smoothly reclaim her share of the property.

“I’m not in a hurry. The person who should be most anxious right now is my second brother,” Jiang Lingyu said with a smile.

Yu Sijia had also heard a little about Wei Mingshu's recent affairs.

"He hasn't calmed down yet?"

Recently, Wei Mingshu has been like a butterfly, attending every gathering in Nancheng and Gangcheng without fail.

His intentions are easy to guess; he simply wants to find someone who can outshine Hu Baoshan.

Money and power will slowly feed adults' appetites; the more they have, the less satisfied they will be, and the more they will want.

Jiang Lingyu seems to have almost no competitiveness in the Jiang family now. Besides, she is the only one in the family who is related to everyone by blood, so Jiang Chengjie naturally won't make things difficult for her.

But Wei Mingshu was different.

It's hard to say that there's any brotherly affection between Jiang Chengjie and him.

Jiang Chengjie got his hands on the equipment at home. He looked down on Wei Mingshu and was determined to get his hands on the pharmaceutical factory and research institute.

How could Wei Mingshu not be anxious?

Even Yu Sijia, who was far away in Beijing, heard about Wei Mingshu's "glorious deeds," so you can imagine how big a fuss it caused.

Although no one said it outright, how could they not discuss it behind the scenes?
I wonder if Wei Mingshu himself knows that he's almost become a laughing stock in the industry.

I've heard of women desperate to get married, but I've never seen anyone as desperate to marry as Wei Mingshu.

“How can he possibly settle down until he finds the right person?” Jiang Lingyu pursed her lips dismissively. She wondered if it was because her second brother had never had a father since childhood, but her mother had always spoiled him, which made him seem like a good-for-nothing. “This time, the family has made a fool of itself.”

Jiang Lingyu didn't care about keeping family scandals to herself in front of You Sijia, and spilled everything out in one gulp.

"My older brother got married today and invited a lot of people, right? Then Wei Mingshu wanted to be the best man. He probably thought that the best man and the bridesmaid might hit it off at the wedding. Hahaha, he mentioned it to Jiang Chengjie a few times, hinting and direct, but Jiang Chengjie didn't take the bait. Then a few days ago, he couldn't help himself and brought it up in front of my parents at a family gathering. Guess what my older brother said?"
