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

Chapter 193 "Hardship Fee".

Mencius' mother's class reunion was held at Diaoyu Mountain Villa in the suburbs, which was also a farmhouse inn.

You can fish and cook your own meals inside. The environment is very nice, and there's a small park at the top of the mountain where you can have a relaxing outdoor hike.

These are all sports that middle-aged and elderly people tend to enjoy.

Yu Sijia arrived at Fishing Villa before Mencius' mother, and soon after, Mencius' mother also arrived.

"Jiajia." When Meng's mother saw You Sijia, she said, "I went to the tax bureau to take care of some things before coming here, so it's a bit late. Have you been waiting long?"

Yuska shook her head, "No, I just arrived too!"

"Oh dear, you brought back so much stuff last time! You silly child, you should just have fun when you go out, why do you buy so much stuff for me?" Although Meng's mother said it was too much, her eyes were full of affection.

Can you not like it?
Yuska gave herself clothes, bags, and perfumes—not health supplements meant for middle-aged or elderly people. How could a woman not love beauty? Even as they age, they still have a desire to look good.

When she went out today, Meng's mother was wearing a peacock green long dress that You Sijia had brought back for her from abroad.

The skirt hem is adorned with colorful gemstones. The style is simple, but the cut is excellent. It looks simple yet rich and elegant, which is very suitable for someone of Mencius' mother's status.

"I really like the dress you chose and the perfume you picked," Meng's mother said with a smile in Yousijia's ear.

Taking out the gift and using it, or wearing it, is the best way to respond to the person who gave the gift.

Yusjia could also sense her mother-in-law's happiness. The recipient appreciated her aesthetic sense, and as the giver, she was naturally pleased as well.

"That's good!" Yusjia said with a smile. "I can't guarantee I'm good at other things, but Xiaoyu and Lao Er both said I'm really good at buying things!"

Of course, the nickname "money shredder" is absolutely well-deserved, without a single exaggeration!
Meng's mother chuckled as she listened. She had once longed for a daughter, but only had a son. She thought a son would be fine too. Who knew that Meng Weiyuan would be so calm and collected, displaying a composure far beyond his years from a young age?

It's almost impossible to get a child like that to cuddle and act spoiled at your knees.

It's not that the mother-son relationship wasn't close or good, but rather that this kind of discipline and self-restraint made Mencius' mother somewhat envious of mothers who could be affectionately held by their daughters' hands.

But now things are much better. Looking back, Mencius' mother is quite pleased with herself, thinking that it doesn't matter if her son is too old-fashioned. She can just treat her daughter-in-law like her own daughter, right? And she's such a beautiful and fragrant daughter. She buys all the good things for her daughter. Isn't that much better than her son?
"Mom will give you a big red envelope later!" said Meng's mother.

Yustia: "Hmm?"

Why did we suddenly start talking about red envelopes?

"Going to the fashion show is too tiring, so here's a tip for your hard work."

Yustia: "..."

Does this work too?
However, since the elders said they wanted to give her a red envelope, she couldn't refuse. After a moment of hesitation, Yusjia happily accepted it.

Seeing this, Mencius' mother was even more pleased.

This is what a daughter-in-law of the Meng family should be like! She's not coy at all and just accepts her kindness openly and generously.

"By the way, Mom, who exactly am I supposed to meet today? Just the most important person," Yusjia asked.

At least she was mentally prepared.

Mencius' mother said, "We're just getting to know each other casually and having a meal. You don't need to talk to them about anything; I'll handle this."

Actually, this matter could have been resolved even without Meng's mother bringing You Sijia out to dinner today. Her purpose in bringing You Sijia was to let her get to know more people in the capital, so that even if she encountered difficulties in the future, You Sijia could still connect with these people without her help. The second reason was that Meng's mother thought the freshwater fish at this resort was delicious.

The fish at Fishing Villa are different from those raised in fishponds outside.

The resort is located on a mountain, and the entire mountain is called Fishing Resort. From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, there are several streams, and fishing takes place along these streams. You can choose any spot you like to fish.

Every year, the owner of the resort releases fish fry into the area.

Yusijia took two seconds to realize what her mother-in-law meant, and she couldn't help but smile.

Mencius' mother's college classmates would get together once or twice a year, and those who were close to her might have even more frequent get-togethers.

So when we met, everyone was very familiar with each other, and there was none of the wistful feeling or awkwardness that comes with meeting classmates after ten years.

Just like ordinary friends.

When Mencius' mother appeared before her old classmate with You Sijia, many people naturally came over to ask what had happened.

Meng's mother held You Sijia's hand and said, "This is Jiajia, whom I mentioned to you before. She's my own daughter now, hahaha."

Now that I've explained it this way, is there anything else you don't understand?

Meng's mother said, "Jiajia used to live in Nancheng, right? Now she's in Beijing. Although she's quite young, she's managing a company. I thought I'd bring her along to meet people in case she needs any help in the future. You people can't pretend you don't know my daughter."

"Haha, Lao Cheng, you're being too polite!"

"That's right, her name is Jiajia, right? What company does she manage? Recently, a document was issued from above regarding the development of real industries, and there are preferential policies for it."

Yu Sijia answered obediently, "Tenglong Film and Television, that's the entertainment company."

This is a long-established entertainment and film company; only a few people are unaware of it.

Therefore, when Yuska said these words, almost everyone present was somewhat surprised.

"Oh my, I heard that Tenglong changed owners this year. So it's Jiajia."

"Recently, has your Tenglong team been at odds with Tang Cheng? It's causing quite a stir online. Yue Xiangrong is really going too far, and neither he nor his son-in-law, Guo Xin, are any good people."

"What's going on? I've been traveling for work lately, so I don't know much about it. What's wrong with that bastard Yue Xiangrong this time?"

You Sijia knew who Yue Xiangrong was; he was Guo Xin's father-in-law and also Guo Xin's protector.

She never expected that this person was actually quite famous.

Seeing this, Meng's mother explained to You Sijia, "Yue Xiangrong is actually also one of our alumni, but we're not on the same path. He was a worker-peasant-soldier college student back then, recommended for admission, and he's a few years ahead of us. I've seen him at alumni reunions before."

“He has two daughters, one of whom has already settled abroad, and the other is the wife of the man you are facing this time named Guo Xin.”

Yusi nodded, only then realizing that there was such a small circle inside, and everyone knew each other, which was quite strange.

“I heard from a young woman in the bureau recently that when she saw his second daughter, she was almost unrecognizable.”

The people around them had already started discussing Yue Xiangrong, and You Sijia couldn't help but prick up her ears.
