A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

Even though Xie Wei said that, Ruan Qingyu still shook her head: "Forget it, I didn't care about money anyway."

Xie Wei had said everything she needed to say, and was completely at her wit's end. She looked to Meng Zhixue for help: "Xuexue, what do you think?"

Meng Zhixue hadn't forgotten that Xie Wei had called Ruan Qingyu over so that she could persuade Ruan Qingyu.

Putting down her spoon, Meng Zhixue asked curiously, "Sister Qingyu, why do you want to leave with nothing?"

Ruan Qingyu pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and said, "Because I don't lack money, and I don't want him to think that I'm with him for money. If I don't take the money, Zhao Mingyuan will feel guilty towards me for the rest of his life, and he will always feel indebted to me. But if I take the money, it seems like he no longer owes me anything."

Meng Zhixue understood, and she asked, "So, all you did was to make him feel indebted to you, is that right?"

Ruan Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "...Yes."

"Now there are two scenarios," Meng Zhixue said, holding up two fingers. "First, even if you leave with nothing, he won't feel indebted, then you've gotten off easy. Second, he sighs a couple of times, genuinely feeling your deep affection for him, and then quickly gets together with someone else. Wouldn't you feel resentful then?"

Ruan Qingyu tightened her grip on the water glass, her brows furrowing involuntarily: "...No way? He said he wouldn't remarry after divorcing me."

"Saying he won't get married? That could be a word game!" Meng Zhixue had been tricked by Zhou Yu, that seemingly refined fox, several times before, and she had learned her lesson. She knew the truth: "Not getting married doesn't mean he won't find women."

Ruan Qingyu's face turned pale; clearly, she had never considered this possibility.

Meng Zhixue continued, "Qingyu, fight for what you deserve, don't think too much about men."

"According to universal values, a good woman is one who is not vain, does not covet a man's money, is willing to endure hardship with a man, and quietly stays behind the scenes to take good care of the family. But who knows if this is just a kind of unwritten rule?"

"Instead of trying to be a good woman in the eyes of men and according to the social evaluation system, as long as we don't break the law or commit crimes, we should just be ourselves and be good to ourselves."

Xie Wei also chimed in, "Qingyu, Xuexue is right. You should think about it again."

Ruan Qingyu was in a state of turmoil, and forced a smile, saying, "Every time I close my eyes, I see how good he used to be to me. I really... I'll think about it again..."

She was in a bad mood.

Meng Zhixue and Xie Wei exchanged a glance and neither of them tried to persuade them further.

For fickle people, being married doesn't prevent them from finding new love. But for those who are truly devoted and sentimental, divorce is a devastating blow.

……

After finishing their meal and chatting for a while, Meng Zhixue started to feel a bit tired.

Although she tried her best to cheer herself up, she couldn't help but yawn, and her pale face made her look tired.

Xie Wei pulled Ruan Qingyu to her feet to say goodbye: "Xuexue, your fever has just subsided, please rest well. We're leaving now."

"Okay." Knowing her own physical condition, Meng Zhixue didn't stay. It wouldn't be good to leave people at the hospital. She immediately stood up and said, "Sister Xie Wei, Sister Qingyu, I'll see you to the door."

Back in bed, she slept like a log.

When she woke up, she found that it was already dark outside.

As winter approaches, the days grow shorter; it looks like it's already five or six o'clock.

I don't know if it's because I'm sick.

As Meng Zhixue lay in bed, looking at the sky outside the window, she suddenly felt utterly alone. Her heart felt empty, like a long-abandoned, unfinished building, leaking air everywhere.

Fortunately, she was easygoing and not prone to melancholy; she was quickly amused by her association with the "unfinished building."

Looking at it from another perspective, although she has few family ties, she has good friends like Sister Ying and Sister Xie Wei.

Although she has no home in this city, but...

Well, I still need to try harder at this.

She can't be a gaming companion forever; she'll definitely have to go out to work or open a studio, and then she'll still need a small but cozy and comfortable place to live.

With a creak.

Just as Meng Zhixue was lost in thought, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.

She turned around in surprise, only to find Xie Lingfeng standing there. Instinctively, she sat up abruptly in bed, on guard: "You... why are you here again?"

"Can't I come back?" Xie Lingfeng slammed the door shut behind her, tossing the paper bag he was carrying lightly beside her. "If I didn't come back to bring you your phone, wouldn't you be bored to death?"

Meng Zhixue was stunned for a moment before she remembered the cell phone.

She had such a "fulfilling" morning, going from transferring to another hospital to persuading Sister Qingyu, that she completely forgot about losing her phone.

Meng Zhixue took her phone out of the bag and found a replacement SIM card inside. She glanced at Xie Lingfeng in surprise, which made him feel very comfortable.

"How was it, honey... cough cough, wasn't I gentle and considerate?"

Meng Zhixue: "..."

She had a hundred ways to refute his "gentleness" point, but oh well, she didn't mind putting up with his arrogance since she was getting the benefits.

"It's alright," she said reluctantly.

Seeing that she had put the phone away, Xie Lingfeng was clearly in a good mood, and then pointed triumphantly to the living room outside: "I also bought you some things, they're on the sofa in the living room, go take a look."

Meng Zhixue had slept well and wanted to move around a bit.

Wen Jueming arranged a two-bedroom, two-living-room suite for her hospital room.

In addition to a high-end medical bed, her bedroom also has a 1.2-meter-wide small bed for the caregiver who stays overnight, and a private bathroom.

Except for the lack of a kitchen, the exterior is fully equipped with living and dining areas, a bar area, and restrooms.

Meng Zhixue threw off the covers, got out of bed, and walked into the living room.

There were five or six handbags on the off-white leather sofa, all in her favorite colors and styles, and quite valuable, probably worth at least four or five hundred thousand yuan in total.

"Didn't you lose your bag too?" Xie Lingfeng said. "I just picked out a few for you, choose whichever you like."

Why did this person suddenly change their personality? Meng Zhixue raised her eyes, looking at him as if he were an alien creature.

"What?" Xie Lingfeng raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Do you think I'm not so bad anymore, not as awful as you thought?"

Meng Zhixue: "..."

like……

There is a tiny bit.

Moreover, she was worried about how to bring up the topic and ask him to help investigate Zhao Mingyuan's affairs.

After thinking for a moment, Meng Zhixue said with a hint of expectation, "President Xie, could I ask you for a favor?"

She clasped her hands together, her clean and beautiful almond-shaped eyes full of pleading, looking much more obedient and gentle than when she had a cold face.

Xie Lingfeng hissed softly.

He had only ever seen her obedient and sweet in front of Zhou Yu, and never imagined that he would one day receive such a kind look from her.

He was secretly delighted, but outwardly he maintained a composed demeanor, clearing his throat and saying, "Of course I can ask you for a favor, but..."

"But?" Meng Zhixue tilted her head to look at him, waiting for his response.

Xie Lingfeng really wanted to laugh, and she actually laughed out loud.

He walked up to Meng Zhixue, looking down at her. He lightly touched his lips and said, taking advantage of the situation, "I don't ask for much, just give me a kiss."

Feeling that this request was too easy, he quickly added, "A French kiss!"

Meng Zhixue: "...?"

Why wasn't she surprised at all?

Thank goodness.

She originally thought he would make requests such as touching, hugging, or even more explicit ones, but to her surprise, he only asked for a kiss, which was quite easy to appease.
