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

Chapter 187 Lost
Actually, Yu Sijia received a call from her mother-in-law when this incident occurred.

When Meng's mother called, it wasn't to scold You Sijia for being intimate with other men outside, but rather to say domineeringly, "When you come back to China, attend a class reunion with me."

Yu Sijia didn't understand what this meant at first. After hanging up the phone, she asked Meng Weiyuan, who was next to her.

Upon hearing this, Meng Weiyuan laughed.

His mother was a college student in the 2s, and graduated from one of the top two universities in the country.

"Think about what my mom's major is?"

Yu Sijia didn't really know what her mother-in-law's major was, but considering that her mother-in-law had previously been the CFO of Meng's, she guessed, "Did she study economics? Accounting?"

Meng Weiyuan shook his head, "That was the major my mother chose after she went abroad on a government scholarship. She studied politics during her undergraduate studies."

At this point, Meng Weiyuan glanced at You Sijia.

Yuska is actually very smart; sometimes, she only needs a hint to understand what it means.

Just like it is now.

As soon as Yu Sijia heard Meng Weiyuan's words, she took a deep breath.

"hiss--"

Now she understands the true meaning behind Mencius' mother's phone call.

"So Mom wants to take me to meet people?" You Sijia grabbed Meng Weiyuan's arm, her face full of excitement. "She wants me to deal with Tang Cheng's matter this time?"

Because Mencius' mother knew that young people nowadays probably wouldn't be patient with all sorts of banquets and business meetings, even though they both lived in the capital, she rarely asked You Sijia to accompany her to these social events. At most, they would meet once every two weeks or once a month to have a meal at home.

It's quite normal that Meng Weiyuan or his parents might not see each other for a month when they're busy.

Now, Meng's mother has specifically called to ask You Sijia to attend the class reunion with her, clearly intending to introduce her to her network of connections.

These are all connections that Yuska can currently utilize.

Meng Weiyuan smiled and nodded, "Of course, you're her daughter-in-law. You were almost bullied outside, so of course she'd stand up for you."

Yu Sijia couldn't help but cover her face and laugh, then, as if she had thought of something, she peeked out and looked at Meng Weiyuan with some hesitation, "Then, Mom won't have any thoughts about me, will she? Like all that stuff that was going on online before..."

She didn't really care about the rumors. But if her family members took them seriously, Yusjia felt like she might care a lot.

Meng Weiyuan reached out and gave You Sijia a sharp rap on the forehead.

Then, his sneer reached Yustia's ears.

"What are you thinking!" Meng Weiyuan said. "If she can't even see through this little trick, how could President Cheng have maintained his current position?"

Chengxie is the name of Mencius' mother.

When Yu Sijia was talking to Jiang Lingyu, she couldn't help but smile smugly as she recalled this incident.

Jiang Lingyu: "Hmm? Someone up there? Who? President Meng?"

Yu Sijia shook her head. "No, my mother-in-law is taking me to their college reunion tomorrow. I heard that although there weren't many people in their class back then, 80% of them are now working in government departments. And at this age, you know?"

At this age, most people are about to retire, and almost all of them hold high positions of power.

Jiang Lingyu, on the other end of the video, understood and couldn't help but give You Sijia a thumbs up.

Being able to handle one's mother-in-law is definitely a testament to the competence of one's own friend!
She truly is a beloved young lady.

After ending her call with Jiang Lingyu, You Sijia buried herself in catching up on the updates.

There was no way around it; she owed her readers so many updates before, and now that she had some time back, she had to squeeze in some drawing whenever she could. Just before lunchtime, Yusjia finally updated the latest chapter.

She put down the stylus, rubbed her temples, picked up her phone to check the time, and realized that Meng Weiyuan had sent her a message two hours earlier.

It must have been when she was video chatting with Jiang Lingyu, but she didn't notice.

Meng Weiyuan said he wouldn't be going home for dinner tonight; he would be working overtime at the company.

Yu Sijia frowned; she genuinely believed that Meng Weiyuan was an iron man.

Not pursuing triathlons is a loss for the national team.

I just got back from a business trip abroad, and now I have to work overtime again.

They're really working incredibly hard.

Before hanging up her phone, Yusi replied with "Received," then stood up from her chair and stretched.

She felt uncomfortable all over after sitting for too long.

Soon Yustia headed toward the kitchen in the front yard.

Tonight was the first proper meal they had on time since returning home. Even before Yusjia got close, she could smell the aroma of food coming from the yard.

Yusjia walked into the kitchen while muttering, "It smells so good."

She arrived at a rather opportune moment, just in time to see the chef taking a roast duck, glistening with oil, out of the oven.

A thick layer of honey is brushed onto the skin of the roast duck, and for a moment, the sweet and savory aroma seems to blend together, filling everyone's breath and whetting their appetites.

After arriving in Beijing, Yusjia developed a liking for this dish.

Homemade roast duck tastes better than the ones you get outside.

She liked the outermost layer of duck skin, brushed with a thick layer of honey, and the duck was prepared so well that it had no strange smell, was very fragrant, and had almost no fat.

There's also a soup maker in the kitchen. With summer approaching, people in the southern part of the city have their own soups, which mainly serve to relieve summer heat, fatigue, and reduce internal heat.

Today, the kitchen has prepared a fairly common dish: Five-Finger Peach and Poria Cocos Pork Bone Soup.

It has a coconut aroma.

This is the soup that Yusjia specifically requested after she woke up.

She had originally thought Meng Weiyuan would come back for dinner, but now it seemed unlikely that she would get him a taste of fresh soup.

"Young Madam, is it time to prepare dinner?" The butler asked, assuming Yusjia was hungry, when he saw her enter the kitchen.

Dinner time was actually slightly delayed today because the housekeeper considered that Yusjia slept until after 1 p.m. and had lunch then, so she probably wouldn't feel very hungry.

Yu Sijia shook her head. Meng Weiyuan wouldn't come back for dinner; he would only tell her, not the housekeeper, so the housekeeper still didn't know that Meng Weiyuan was working overtime tonight.

“I’m not eating at home. I’ll pack these up and go find Meng Weiyuan first,” You Sijia said.

She made her decision almost instantly when she replied to Meng Weiyuan's message.

Since Meng Weiyuan doesn't have time to come back, she'll just deliver it to him.

Anyway, it seems that even after being married for so long, she has never delivered food to Meng Weiyuan's workplace.
