Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

Once outside Mingjian Country, Ming Jianhua and Ye Wenya, who were in the car, looked no different from usual.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ye Wenya scrolled through her phone and said, "Honey, Xixi, what do you want to eat? I see a lot of shops are open today, what should we get?"

Ming Jianhua said, "Anything is fine, I'll listen to you two." Then he turned to Ming Xi and asked, "What does Xi Xi want to eat?"

For some reason, Mingxi suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She sniffed, then leaned out from behind and gave Ye Wenya and Ming Jianhua a really big kiss each. "Dad! Mom! I love you!"

"Haha, this child, the older he gets, the more he loves to act cute." Ming Jianhua was taken aback by the kiss, then raised his hand to pat Mingxi's head, his face full of smiles.

Ye Wenya then touched Mingxi's face and said, "Mommy loves you too, Mommy's little darling."

"Mom and Dad, I want to be your child again in my next life."

"Oh dear, you're getting more and more coquettish. Okay, in the next life, your father and I will still be your and Yu Bao'er's parents."

"Mommy~" Mingxi pressed her face against Ye Wenya's, becoming more and more coquettish as she spoke.

Seeing the mother and son showing such affection, Ming Jianhua was very happy, but he was also very hungry, so he couldn't help but say, "Wife, can we decide where to eat first? I'll drive, and you two can take your time being affectionate."

Ye Wenya gave Ming Jianhua a charming eye roll, patted Ming Xi's arm, and said, "Sit back down and think about what to eat. Your dad is always so hungry."

Ming Jianhua chuckled, "I call it being able to eat a lot a blessing."

Mingxi sat back in the back row, thought for a moment and said, "How about we go eat at Rongji? I suddenly really want to eat their almond cookies."

"Okay, their fish maw soup is pretty good too, let's go with Rongji then. Honey, let's go."

"Instructions received from superiors: Depart."

The family of three happily decided what to eat.

On the way to Rongji, Ye Wenya, who was playing on her phone, casually said, "By the way, honey, Xiao Su from the Postal Savings Bank called me today to wish me a Happy New Year. She said their bank's deposit interest rate has increased again. Why don't we transfer our money to their bank? These days, money is disappearing faster and faster. A higher interest rate will add up to a lot of interest in a year. What do you think?"

After listening, Ming Jianhua pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly, "It's good, but should we transfer all the money out? That would mean Debon's deposit target would be..."

"Honey~ My third sister-in-law always says that Debon is very capable and knows a lot of rich people. It's not like we're short of money. Also, didn't you say you wanted to buy a Mercedes-Benz S-Class? If we transfer the money to a bank with a high interest rate, we'll have enough to buy it."

"Really? Honey, you really want me to buy it?"

"Of course it's true." Actually, there was no such thing. Ye Wenya had no intention of stopping him from changing cars, since it wasn't like the family couldn't afford one.

But Ming Jianhua didn't know that. Now he had no worries at all and said with a big smile, "Okay, we'll go and transfer money as soon as the bank opens." He even started humming a song after saying that.

Ye Wenya, who was standing to the side, also smiled, a very sweet smile.

Mingxi, sitting in the back row, was also feeling quite pleased. These relatives had always looked down on his mother and her siblings.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Auntie seems to be trying to smooth things over; she's just like my aunt, and so are my other aunts, uncles, and cousins... none of them are good people.

His parents were remarried. To be precise, his father, Ming Jianhua, had been married before and had a son.

In those days, Ming Jianhua, who had an urban household registration and a formal job, was highly sought after even though he wasn't particularly good-looking.

He is an honest and kind man with a mild temper, but he has one flaw: in today's terms, he is a looks-obsessed person and wants to find a beautiful wife with a good figure.

Through an introduction, he met Meng Cuiling, who came from the countryside. Meng Cuiling was really beautiful and her family was really poor. Since Ming Jianhua was interested in her, she naturally had no objections. The two quickly got married and had children.

Although Meng Cuiling's family was poor and she hadn't received much education, she was an ambitious and capable woman. After marrying Ming Jianhua, she made all the decisions regarding the family's affairs, big and small.

She seized the opportunity to start a clothing business, beginning with purchasing goods and setting up a stall. Ming Jianhua used all the money in the family to support her, and later even quit his job to run a husband-and-wife shop with her.

That's how the couple made their fortune. Later, they even established a clothing company and earned a lot of money.

When people have money, they start to pursue spiritual fulfillment. The strong woman Meng Cuiling felt that she and Ming Jianhua, who had no ambition and no drive, had less and less in common.

Ming Jianhua tried to persuade Meng Cuiling to stay, but Meng Cuiling was determined to divorce him. The two eventually parted ways amicably. Meng Cuiling got the company and their son, Minghui, while Ming Jianhua got the savings and the house.

After the divorce, Ming Jianhua, who had a lot of money, refused suggestions from relatives and friends to start a business together or to invest in stocks.

Lacking ambition and drive, he invested all his money in houses and shops, which, by sheer luck, led to a surge in property prices.

However, he didn't plan to sell them; instead, he rented them all out, and the rent he received each month was enough for him to live a very comfortable life.

Ye Wenya, whose original name was Ye Zhaodi, came from a remote rural village in Chongqing. Her family was a very "traditional" combination of three sisters and one brother, Yaozu. She was the youngest of the three sisters, Zhaodi.

Perhaps due to her inherent rebellious nature, Ye Zhaodi was not brainwashed from a young age by the idea that "women are born to serve men, girls don't count as heirs, only boys do, and a woman's greatest value is to marry out and exchange dowries to help her family."

Instead, from a young age, I was determined to break free from this disgusting family of origin and this disgusting so-called hometown.

She didn't want to be like her two older sisters and many other women in the village, spending her childhood doing nothing but chores at home.

After growing up, she went out to work and handed over all her wages to her family. In the end, she was "married" to a disgusting man in exchange for a dowry, and her life passed by so tragically.

So, when Ye Zhaodi graduated from junior high school and her family planned to marry her off to a man twenty years her senior in exchange for a dowry, she simply took her ID card and ran away.

Because she was underage, no legitimate factories would hire her, so she could only work in small factories with very low wages. She suffered a lot, but she didn't regret it.

Later, nineteen-year-old Ye Zhaodi met Ming Jianhua, who was twelve years older than her, plain-looking but gentle and honest, and very rich, which was important.

Ye Zhaodi knew exactly what she wanted and that she could control this rich and honest man, so she took the initiative.

Ming Jianhua, a sucker for good looks, couldn't resist the youthful, beautiful, and adorable Ye Zhaodi, and soon fell head over heels for her.

The two had a whirlwind marriage, and Ye Zhaodi changed her name to Ye Wenya. At the age of twenty, she gave birth to Mingyu. From then on, she lived a life of plenty, wearing gold and silver, with an obedient husband, thus changing her destiny.

Ye Wenya has severed ties with her family. They want money? Not a penny! No matter how much they make a fuss, she ignores them. If they get annoyed, she calls the police, leaving the Ye family helpless against her.

Her ruthless behavior, coupled with the fact that she was twelve years younger than Ming Jianhua, had a glamorous appearance, and loved to shop, made her disliked by many in the Ming family, who gossiped about her behind her back.

Children are very sensitive to malice, so Mingxi hated these relatives from a young age. In his heart, his mother was the kindest and most wonderful woman in the world.

She was brave and strong; she changed her own destiny and the destiny of her next generation. She was an extraordinary woman.
