In the restaurant.

The air seemed to freeze.

All eyes were focused on the face of the old man in the main seat.

The slap that Old Master Jiang gave the table just now made the cups, plates, and bowls rattle.

The aunt's sneer hadn't faded yet; she was waiting to see the show.

Just wait for the old man to give this arrogant girl a good scolding.

Wen Ning huddled in the chair.

My palms were sweaty.

She started counting down in her mind.

Three, two, one...

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A loud, hearty, even deafening laugh suddenly erupted in the restaurant.

The old man laughed so hard he almost fell over.

His beard trembled wildly.

The seriousness on his face instantly melted away, turning into an extremely satisfied and kind expression.

"Okay! Okay!"

The old man pointed at Wen Ning and said "good" three times.

"I love this kid's frankness!"

"So genuine! Not at all pretentious!"

Second Aunt: "???"

Wen Ning: "???"

The entire table of relatives: "???"

What's going on?

Is he furious?

The old man stopped laughing and glanced at his second aunt, whose face was stiff.

His eyes held a hint of the insight and disdain of someone in a superior position.

"Second brother, you're just too easily swayed."

The old man spoke slowly.

"Does the Jiang family lack that little bit of money?"

"Letting our granddaughter-in-law earn money? That's a slap in the face to the Jiang family! That shows Aci is incompetent!"

"But..." the second aunt still tried to resist, "A wife should be virtuous..."

"What's this talk about being virtuous or not?"

Jiang's mother, who was standing next to her, also put down her chopsticks.

She gracefully wiped her mouth, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at Wen Ning.

"Girls these days have to work and take care of their families, it's too hard for them."

"I just can't bear to see my daughter-in-law suffer like that."

"Our family is so big and prosperous, what's wrong with supporting an idle person? As long as Ningning is happy and Aci is happy, that's enough."

In the logic of top-tier wealthy families.

There is actually an unwritten hierarchy of contempt.

Ambitious "strong women" who want to get involved in the family business and achieve upward social mobility through marriage are often viewed with suspicion and considered "restless".

On the contrary, it's someone like Wen Ning.

She has a clean background (although she is a stepdaughter), is beautiful, and has a simple personality (it seems). She only wants to eat, drink, and have fun, and be a parasite.

That is the safest.

They are the most suitable to be pampered.

Because she has no ambition.

She won't fight over the family fortune, and she won't engage in internal strife.

Her greatest contribution is simply to be beautiful and to make that cold, aloof heir a little more "human."

Wen Ning was completely dumbfounded.

She looked at the kind-faced old man and the approving mother-in-law.

My worldview has collapsed.

no……

Are the entry requirements for your wealthy families really that low?

I said I'm a parasite! I said I only spend money, I don't earn any!

Aren't you angry? And you even praise me for being honest?

The system emitted a buzzing electrical sound in her mind.

[Warning... Logic module overload...]

[The thought process of the wealthy and powerful is incomprehensible...]

[Mission Assessment: Serious Deviation Occurred! Reverse Strategy Found!]

Just when Wen Ning was questioning the meaning of life.

The old man waved his hand.

The old butler, who had been waiting nearby, immediately came over with a tray.

On the tray was a red envelope as thick as a brick.

There was also a black bank card.

"Ningning."

The old man picked up the red envelope and stuffed it directly into Wen Ning's hand.

heavy.

"Since you've said it, you only plan to spend money from now on."

"Then Grandpa will have to support your work."

"Here, this is New Year's money from Grandpa. It's not much, but take it to buy some candy."

Followed by.

He pushed the black card over again.

That's a supplementary card from the Jiang family's family fund, with an astonishing credit limit.

"And this too."

The old man spoke in a domineering tone.

"Here's your allowance. Spend it as you like, buy whatever you want."

"If you don't have enough, just ask Aci for more."

As he spoke, the old man glared at Jiang Ci beside him.

"Did you hear that? If Ningning ever runs out of money, it's your fault as her husband! It's because you're incompetent!"

Jiang Ci leaned back in his chair.

Seeing his grandfather's attitude of "spending a fortune to win a smile from his beloved".

He smiled helplessly.

"Okay, Grandpa."

He took the card from the butler and put it into Wen Ning's hand.

"Don't worry, the Jiang family can afford it."

"I can afford to raise them."

My second aunt's face was so green it could reflect light.

She originally wanted to see Wen Ning make a fool of himself, but instead became the clown being mocked.

She shut her mouth angrily, lowered her head and ate her rice, not daring to utter another sound.

The atmosphere in the restaurant instantly transformed from a tense "tribunal" to a scene of "the most beloved member of the group."

Wen Ning held the red envelope in her hands, which looked like a brick.

He held the black card in his other hand.

I felt like I was floating.

She looked at Jiang Ci.

His eyes were filled with confusion and pleading.

How... how are we going to handle this?

I came here to court disaster, how did I end up buying goods?

Jiang Ci looked at her blank expression.

I think it's extremely cute.

He squeezed her hand under the table.

Then he leaned close to her ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Are you stupid?"

Wen Ning blinked.

Jiang Ci reached out his hand.

I gently pinched her soft cheek.

He chuckled softly, his voice filled with pleasure.

"Now I can spend money openly and legitimately."

Wen Ning: "..."

She looked at the heavy wealth in her hands.

She then looked at the table full of smiling elders who were welcoming her.

Suddenly I realized...

That so-called "breakup mission".

It seems... it's getting harder and harder to complete.

This is far from the notion that wealthy families are as deep as the sea.

This is clearly a stroke of good fortune.

"Thank you, Grandpa... Thank you, Mom and Dad..."

Wen Ning had no choice but to obediently accept it.

She silently shed tears in her heart:

System, I'm sorry.

The enemy's sugar-coated bullets were too powerful.

I... I think I'm really falling for it.
