Meng Zhixue had no idea of Zhou Yu's torment.
She ran out of the "props" she had prepared, and Wei Hongyu was urging her to buy them, so she had no choice but to endure the pain of buying two shirts and a pair of underwear at a physical store late at night.
But I must say, the quality of physical stores is better than Pinduoduo.
The store on Pinduoduo was a bit of a rip-off. The underwear she bought was cheap, but it had a pungent machine oil smell. She had to wash it many times to get rid of the smell, and even her dog wouldn't wear it.
Meng Zhixue once again comforted herself: Zhou Yu definitely wouldn't be interested in underwear that cost 5.9 yuan with free shipping; he was just expressing his gratitude out of politeness and wouldn't actually wear it.
Please don't wear it!
Otherwise, I'll always feel a little uneasy.
the next day.
Meng Zhixue went to work at Villa 12 and brought the prepared shirt and underwear to Wei Hongyu, successfully swindling—no, receiving—50,000 yuan.
Of course, she wouldn't keep the money; she planned to spend it all on Xiaoxin.
The main reason is that Sister Ying is too good to her, and Xiaoxin is also her precious treasure. Out of consideration for them, she is willing to be "good" to Wei Hongyu.
On the evening of the third day.
As soon as Meng Zhixue returned to Villa No. 15, she saw Zhou Yu, who had returned from a business trip, sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was looking at her with a pair of cool, peach-blossom eyes, and there was an indescribable meaning in his eyes.
It sounded like murderous intent, yet also like sorrow.
What's wrong?
Blinking, Meng Zhixue touched her neck and asked curiously, "Young Master Zhou, have I done something wrong?"
"...No." Zhou Yu forced a smile. "You're fine, very fine!"
Meng Zhixue: "..."
It's weird.
Since you're saying I'm good, why don't you smile more sincerely and not look so mournful in your eyes? That might be more convincing.
Just as she was about to ask what was going on, Zhou Yu suddenly took out a royal blue velvet jewelry box, tossed it lightly in his hand, and then tossed it toward her.
"Catch it securely."
Meng Zhixue stared in disbelief, her almond-shaped eyes wide: "Kiss?!"
"...I said, catch it!"
But the jewelry box had already fallen to the ground.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Meng Zhixue quickly picked up the jewelry box, trying to salvage the situation by blowing off the dust.
Before she could ask, Zhou Yu said, "It's a gift for you."
"Is this a local specialty you brought me? Jewelry is a local specialty too?" Meng Zhixue curiously opened the jewelry box, inside was a thin platinum bracelet inlaid with tiny, sparkling diamonds, very stylish.
It looks great; it's the style she likes.
But isn't this too expensive?
Having been a kept woman for many years in her previous life, she wasn't very knowledgeable about food, drink, and entertainment, but she had seen a lot of good things. She could tell at a glance that this bracelet had nothing to do with the word "local specialty" and was quite valuable.
Just as she was about to refuse, Zhou Yu added, "I've been too busy with business trips to buy you local specialties. This is a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from the company to female clients, and there's an extra one, so you can have it."
Is that so?
Meng Zhixue immediately replied happily, "Thank you!"
After thinking for a moment, her conscience stirred, and she asked again, "Young Master Zhou, how about I buy you two more nice shirts?"
"No need!" Zhou Yu didn't want to repeat the same mistake, so he immediately refused seriously. But worried that his reaction would attract too much attention, he deliberately softened his tone. "Next time you come to the mall with me, you can be my image consultant and help me choose clothes."
"Okay!" Meng Zhixue agreed without much thought.
For her now, whether it's contributing labor or money, the former is definitely better!
Zhou Yu was still shaken, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.
……
The weekend arrived quickly.
Wei Suying's flight is next Monday, so she specially invited Meng Zhixue to lunch on the weekend as a farewell.
Songshi Restaurant.
The quiet private room was filled with the gentle fragrance of sandalwood.
Meng Zhixue took out the gift she had given to Xiaoxin, and then took out another gift that Wei Hongyu had asked her to prepare.
Wei Suying served Meng Zhixue a bowl of matsutake chicken soup: "Try it, this restaurant is pretty good, I think you'll like it."
Meng Zhixue nodded and drank it down in one gulp, her almond-shaped eyes narrowing with satisfaction.
Wei Suying's smile deepened.
In her eyes, Meng Zhixue was still a child.
"Xiaoxue," Wei Suying suddenly asked, "If—I mean if I offered you three times your monthly salary and invited you to come with me, would you be willing?"
Meng Zhixue asked in surprise, "Me?"
"Yes." Wei Suying nodded. "Are you willing?"
Meng Zhixue was conflicted.
If it had been a month ago, she would most likely have agreed.
But now, she has a goal to strive for, and she's taking steady steps forward. She really loves this feeling of having a clear objective and seeing results from her efforts.
She didn't want to give up.
"I'm sorry, Sister Ying," Meng Zhixue said guiltily. "I want to continue learning from Zhou Yu and develop in the direction of becoming a children's sensory integration trainer."
"Don't feel guilty, I support you." Wei Suying was very understanding. "Just being a companion to Xin Xin won't improve you much. Zhou Yu's career plan for you is indeed very suitable. As long as you persevere, I believe you will unleash energy that you yourself can't even imagine."
"Wait! Wait a minute!" Wei Hongyu, who had come over for a free meal, put down her chopsticks and questioned angrily, "What do you mean, 'learn from Brother Zhou Yu'? What do you mean, 'Brother Zhou Yu made a career plan for you'? Becoming a children's sensory integration therapist wasn't your own idea, it was Brother Zhou Yu's suggestion? Why? Why is he so good to you? You're just a babysitter!"
Her voice was fast and urgent, almost like a machine gun.
His surprise and anger were evident.
Meng Zhixue had a headache; she had been careless and had provoked this fool.
"Why don't you tell me why you suddenly gave Xiaoxue 50,000 yuan to buy a gift for Xinxin?" Wei Suying's words calmed down Wei Hongyu, who was on the verge of exploding.
Wei Hongyu immediately panicked: "Ah...what? Ah...yes, it was me! I was just afraid I didn't have good taste and wouldn't be able to pick something my little one likes!"
As she spoke, she glared at Meng Zhixue with a warning.
She couldn't understand how Meng Zhixue could be so kind, using the money on Xin Xin instead. But she absolutely couldn't let her sister know that she'd asked Meng Zhixue to steal Zhou Yu's shirt and underwear, or she'd be dead!
Wei Suying was also having a headache.
There was definitely something fishy about the gift.
Her younger sister clearly wasn't very well-endowed, but she was also incredibly dim-witted. If it weren't for the Wei family, with her arrogant and brainless nature, she would probably have been beaten to death long ago.
"Alright, alright. You guys eat first, I'm going to the restroom." Wei Suying got up and took Xiaoxin with her.
She's been breastfeeding ever since she gave birth to her baby. Now that her milk is coming in, it'll be very useful for the little one.
As soon as Wei Suying stepped out of the private room, Wei Hongyu glared angrily at Meng Zhixue.
"I advise you not to be so smug! The only reason Zhou Yu is nice to you is because your face looks like his ideal woman. You didn't know that, did you?"
As she spoke, she notified people in the group to watch the excitement, while secretly turning on her live stream and pointing her phone camera at Meng Zhixue.
They're just waiting for Meng Zhixue's out-of-control and ugly behavior to be exposed.
