Lin Youjuan was sitting opposite Lu Qingye and Meng Chuyuan. She could see their every move clearly.
Lu Qingye would take the initiative to put food in Meng Chuyuanâs bowl. It did not look like he had married her for nothing.
However, she was a little worried as once they got married, the couple had been living separately. If this continued for a long time, their relationship might fade one day.
If only they had more time to spend together.
Lu Quanyu suddenly lost half of his appetite when his wife called him out to go on a business trip.
âIâm not going.â Lu Quanyu put down his bowl and chopsticks and snorted. âI havenât even settled my project yet. Why should I help him with his?â
âCanât you suspend your project for our sonâs sake?â
Lin Youjuan had come back with him, so she naturally knew the reason for his return. Even if the jade artifact was useful, it would not be able to achieve results overnight. It would take a lot of time for the two companies to sign a contract and allocate their funds to the project.
She believed that Lu Quanyu could replace Lu Qingye during this period of time.
âHe has hands and feet and can fend for himself. Why do you need to worry about him?â
Meng Chuyuan and the others saw that the atmosphere between the two of them was not right. No one dared to say anything and get involved in the matters of the elders.
Lin Youjuan snorted and expressed her dissatisfaction. âI donât want Little Meng to follow my path.â
It didnât matter if this man went on a business trip, but the gossip outside couldnât be stopped.
Back then, Lin Youjuan relied on her familyâs power. Indeed, no one dared to offend her, but she knew that many people were mocking her behind her back.
Now, it was Meng Chuyuanâs turn. In the eyes of outsiders, she was nothing. As long as her husband was not around, it was as if the label of an abandoned woman could not be removed.
At the mention of the past, Lu Quanyu knew what he had done wrong. His expression suddenly softened as he agreed softly, âIâll listen to you. Iâll go on his behalf the day after tomorrow.â
However, Lu Qingye did not obey his motherâs arrangements because he had always been in charge of the work there. No one was more familiar with that project than him.
âDad, youâve just returned to the country. Rest for a while. I can handle my own matters.â
When Lin Youjuan heard this, she kept winking at Lu Qingye. Seeing that he didnât understand what she meant, she said frankly, âHow can that do? It wasnât easy for me to convince your father.â
At this moment, Meng Chuyuan broke the stalemate. âLet him go.â
For Lu Qingye, it was not as simple as a job. He held shares and was one of the companyâs shareholders. He had a social responsibility and obligation to lead the companyâs development.
So, he didnât just work for himself.
However, Lin Youjuan could not understand all of this. After being undermined time and time again, she looked a little disappointed. âXiao Meng, why are you causing trouble too?â
âWe naturally understand your good intentions, but now is really not the time to talk about love.â Meng Chuyuan acted methodically. She was not only helping Lu Qingye out of the predicament, but also expressing her opinion on this matter.
Meng Chuyuan could still tell which was more important.
If Lu Qingye handed over his work to his father tonight, she might really look down on him.
Perhaps her words had touched Lu Qingyeâs heart. His eyes were gentler than usual, making him admire Meng Chuyuan more.
âGood girl, youâre so understanding. No wonder youâre so popular.â Lu Quanyu was also surprised by her outlook. He looked up and smiled at Meng Chuyuan. âAfter Iâm done with my work, Iâll choose an auspicious day to hold your wedding with Ah Ye.â
