Lu Fugui… Lu Chengyue suppressed the urge for her eyes to turn into gold coins, her face and voice both cool and detached.
“Senior, please show some respect.”
The spoiled young lady of the Meng family, Jiao Jiao the Omega who knew nothing of the world and had been pampered to the heavens by her family, clearly had no idea how to spell “consider others’ feelings.”
“Oh.”
She responded with a sound but maintained her previous attitude and tone, continuing, “Serving me is definitely better than serving that guy Huo Yunyi, right? No matter what, I’m way better looking than him.”
This was a fact.
One could tell that Miss Meng was extremely confident in her face—perhaps not just her appearance.
This was the innate confidence of a young lady raised with a thousand favors and affections.
But whether it was the sudden turn of events or Meng Tingmian’s stunningly beautiful face on its own… none of it could capture Lu Chengyue’s attention.
Her consciousness, her mind, her entire body and personality were now completely overwhelmed by the scent of money!
Holy crap, money!!!
The moment Meng Tingmian had just pointed out that her relationship with Huo Yunyi was that of “lovers,” it was enough to prove it.
She knew far more than she let on.
The young lady continued chattering to herself, “I heard you only recognize money, not people. Or are you worried I can’t offer you enough compensation?”
“My monthly allowance is three million. My mother and brother dote on me and secretly slip me a bit more each month, around five million. Clothes and jewelry are extra—if there’s something over that amount, they’ll buy it for me if I ask, and it doesn’t count toward the tally. I can access it anytime.”
“After coming of age, I also have shares in the company, and I get dividends at the end of each year, a few billion or so…”
The otherworldly Omega young lady was still tallying up her wealth when Lu Fugui, eyes gleaming at the sight of money, suddenly grabbed her hand.
—Normally, she was called by her full name, Lu Chengyue, but when her brain was dazzled by money, it became the nickname “Lu Fugui.”
“Stop talking.”
The Beta gripping the young lady’s hand still wore a cool, ethereal face—thanks to Lu Chengyue’s two moms.
They’d given her a smart brain and a stunningly beautiful face.
However, as soon as this fairy-like beauty opened her mouth, the words that came out were completely different. “Where’s the contract? I’ll sign it!”
She wasn’t like her cousin Lu Ningshuang, who had to weigh her options carefully.
Lu Fugui knew that her cousin’s one moment of hesitation had nearly cost her the chance to latch onto a golden thigh!
With her senior’s experience right there, how could she make the same mistake a second time!
—She chose to slide straight into a kneel!
Sliding into a kneel before the young lady! Sliding into a kneel before money!
Even hesitating for a second now would be disrespecting money!!!
Lu Chengyue spoke at rapid speed. “Young lady, how much are you planning to pay me per month? Does it include five insurances and one fund? Meals and lodging? What’s my scope of duties?… This salary can’t be less than Huo Yunyi’s, right!”
Strictly speaking, she had been hired by Lu Ningshuang to deal with Huo Yunyi. Since they hadn’t met yet, Huo Yunyi hadn’t given her a single cent.
Stingy!
But that didn’t stop her from demanding benefits from Meng Tingmian.
Miss Meng lifted an eyelid and asked, “How much is he giving you?”
Lu Chengyue’s eyes flickered. Her clever mind spun quickly, estimating a number in her heart. Seeing the other side’s foolishly rich demeanor, she added a bit more and quoted it.
Miss Meng let out a scoff, casually fiddling with her index finger adorned with exquisite nail art. “He’s only giving you that little? What a stingy Alpha.”
She tilted her head, thinking for a moment.
“Then I’ll give you three times that.”
Lu Fugui: !!
She declared that Miss Meng would be her golden thigh for life! As expected, her cousin was unreliable—she had to find her own!
In just their first meeting today, Lu Chengyue had gone from being Huo Yunyi’s little lover to Miss Meng Tingmian’s—though according to Miss Meng, the engagement wasn’t even set in stone yet.
But to avoid any fraud accusations, Lu Chengyue still needed to clarify a few things first—disclaimer time.
“I’m a Beta.”
Miss Meng lifted her lively eyes and slanted a glance at her, drawling lazily, “That’s exactly what I want. A Beta.”
Lu Chengyue: ?
Meng Tingmian’s red lips continued to move. “No matter how we play, nothing will go wrong. Convenient.”
Lu Chengyue: !
The nonsense she’d spouted to her cousin back then had come true!
Was this destined-for-arranged-marriage young lady actually that rebellious? That wild in her play?
Thank you for this long-overdue rebellious phase! It had saved her!!!
Miss Meng might be useless in studies, but she was lightning-quick when it came to being useless. After hearing Lu Chengyue explain her current difficulties…
Meng Tingmian: “Easy fix.”
Then she made a phone call.
First sentence.
“Bro, I don’t wanna marry that illegitimate son of the Huo family~”
Second sentence.
“Bro, help me find someone with a face like this photo to get close to that illegitimate son. I need it, pretty please, bro~”
Not even two minutes later, Meng Tingmian hung up. “Done.”
Lu Chengyue never imagined that the issue troubling her for so long would be completely resolved in the time it took Miss Meng to make one call.
Was this the power of money?
She wanted it too!
The person on the other end seemed to be Miss Meng’s real brother, agreeing without even asking questions—completely at her beck and call, which easily reminded her of her own “Brother Facai.”
Hmm.
Birds of a feather!
While they talked, the items Lu Chengyue had ordered earlier arrived one after another. The young lady, who had seen every luxury, just sat there watching her newly sponsored “little lover” eat, without touching a thing herself.
In the end…
Today’s bill was entirely on Miss Meng!
After eating, Meng Tingmian said, “Accompany me shopping.”
“But I have work this afternoon…”
The young lady lazily lifted her eyes. “I’ll buy your company with three times your salary. Enough?”
“Or five times—”
“Then five times it is.” Lu Chengyue answered lightning-fast, switching to service mode in a second.
“Yes, young lady. Where do you want to shop? When do we head out? How many hours…”
Meng Tingmian’s gaze lingered on the Beta’s excessively beautiful face. “Change your expression.”
Lu Chengyue: ?
“Too fawning. I don’t like it.” She said the cruelest words in the laziest tone. “Or I’ll deduct your pay.”
Lu Chengyue: “…”
Serving a rich lady was physical labor too—not easy at all. But thinking of the money, and comparing to the previous Huo Yunyi…
This was already great. She could accept it all!
Heh.
This sky-high wealth had finally come to her!
Imperial View Villa.
Having just finished lunch, Lu Ningshuang suddenly sneezed.
“Did Madam catch a cold?” Housekeeper Nangong asked. “Shall I get you another layer of clothing?”
She emphasized “clothing.”
That morning, Lu Ningshuang had pulled Qin Yushu back to sleep a bit longer. Upon waking, she received another gift from Qin Yushu.
Though according to Qin Yushu herself, these weren’t gifts—just daily necessities.
But the little dog, overjoyed, didn’t care.
It was a whole closet of new clothes.
Under President Qin’s money power, the designers had worked overtime. These had arrived at the villa two days ago as the first batch, with more to come.
Logically, they could have been brought out early for Lu Ningshuang to wear, but the young lady hadn’t returned yet, right?
Gifts and surprises had to be delivered personally!
Housekeeper Nangong had held back for two more days until her young lady returned, informed Qin Yushu, and then after waking, Qin Yushu personally selected clothes for Lu Ningshuang and “casually” let it slip.
That was how Housekeeper Nangong read the room perfectly.
What was pampering without a trace?
This was it!
In this massive villa, no wonder she could feast on the sweetest, freshest candy!!
Lu Ningshuang’s original clothes were sufficient and high-quality anyway—no risk of being underdressed. Waiting a couple days made the personal delivery even more meaningful.
Little Phoenix Man A was a mama’s boy to begin with. At home, Lady Ning handled her clothes; after marrying into wealth, it passed to her Omega wife…
Perfectly reasonable.
Nothing wrong.
She happily accepted the arrangements—perhaps control, perhaps management—and even felt afterward that everything was just perfect.
Salty fish were so easy.
The clothes on her body were all soft, comfortable fabrics, very warm. Lu Ningshuang couldn’t help but “properly” thank her sister-in-law again, with hugs, cuddles, and rubs—who benefited in the end was unclear.
Or both.
As for Lu Fugui’s imagined difficult-to-serve rich lady sister-in-law?
Nope~ All slander!
As the two came downstairs, the sharp-eyed Housekeeper Nangong spotted the matching rings on their ring fingers, her auntie smile widening further.
Uncontrollable! Completely uncontrollable!!!
The commotion drew a glance from Qin Yushu. President Qin always had endless business.
All money-making to support the family.
Now it really was a family, with an extra little Phoenix Man A—sometimes sweet, sometimes green tea.
Right now, little Phoenix Man A hurriedly said, “No need, I’m already super warm!”
“Alright.”
Seeing the regret on Housekeeper Nangong’s face, Lu Ningshuang added, “Someone must be cursing me right now.”
Housekeeper Nangong smiled. “Who would dare curse you?”
Lu Ningshuang: “Plenty!”
At least the transmigrator Huo Yunyi and the System were wishing for her immediate death right now.
While Housekeeper Nangong was shipping the domineering CEO and pampered wife candy on one hand, she was also twenty-some years older than them.
She called herself Qin Yushu’s housekeeper, but after all these years, she was half-family.
Qin Yushu had matured early and independently. Looking at the even younger Lu Ningshuang now, she couldn’t help feeling maternal.
“Whoever dares say anything about you, let the young lady avenge you!”
Lu Ningshuang waved it off. “Nah, forget it.”
Such a “small matter” wasn’t worth President Qin making a fuss—though it reminded her of Huo Yunyi and the System, and the task she’d entrusted to her cousin. She couldn’t resist poking Brother Facai.
Seeing her suddenly busy, Housekeeper Nangong tactfully left without disturbing.
Brother Facai, whether busy or not, always prioritized replying to his little sister.
Qi Facai: [The thing you had made has some leads now. People are working full speed on it.]
Proud Soft Rice Eater: [Oh.]
Proud Soft Rice Eater: [Thanks for the hard work, Brother Facai.]
Qi Facai: […]
Little Shuang’s ID was getting more blatant—no looking.
But Lu Ningshuang had only remembered to ask. The transmigrator could be set aside for now, but the System behind him was tricky. She hadn’t expected quick results anyway.
No disappointment now.
Qi Facai: [The other thing you asked me to find has results.]
Proud Soft Rice Eater: [?]
Lu Ningshuang scratched her head.
She didn’t remember asking Brother Facai for any other help?
Qi Facai: [The gu and Head-Lowering Technique you wanted me to find.]
Lu Ningshuang: “…”
Oh, right.
Qi Facai: [But are you sure you want to do this to her?]
Qi Jingming wasn’t suddenly going soft or having a conscience—lawless maniacs never reform!
It was just that with Qin Yushu pulled into the Happily Married Family Group, and the parents’ secret subgroup he could now join at his age…
From recent developments, little Shuang and that Omega President Qin’s relationship was progressing nicely—no need for such methods.
Qi Jingming worried it might backfire and hurt Lu Ningshuang instead.
Lu Ningshuang: ?
Oh.
She remembered now—her cousin was still misunderstanding!
Lu Ningshuang: [Brother Facai, you got it wrong!]
Qi Facai: [?]
A quick explanation from Lu Ningshuang let Qi Jingming know this wasn’t for use on Qin Yushu~
Brother Facai let out a long sigh of relief.
It was truly like being a big brother in childhood, only to worry about the little couple’s relationship issues after growing up—being a brother was hard.
Since it didn’t affect those two’s relationship, Qi Jingming let Lu Ningshuang handle it as she pleased. After all, it didn’t involve his own family; she could make as much noise as she wanted outside!
Qi Jingming asked again: [Which one do you want?]
Lu Ningshuang: [The gu worm, still.]
Qi Facai: [Alright, looks like Little Shuang still trusts our family’s folk remedies more, not worshiping the foreign and fawning over outsiders…]
Lu Ningshuang scratched her head.
[It’s not exactly for that reason.]
She was still a bit embarrassed. [I don’t know if it works or not, but it’s probably useless anyway. But a gu worm is still a bug, right? Eating it down would be even more disgusting?]
Qi Facai: […………]
A moment later.
Qi Facai: [You’re right about everything.]
Qi Facai: [I’ll have someone send it over to you. Do whatever you want with it then, just cover it tightly and be careful not to get it on yourself.]
Lu Ningshuang: [Mm-hmm.]
Lu Ningshuang: [Don’t worry, Brother Facai, I’m not that stupid!]
Qi Facai: […………]
Qi Facai hesitated to speak.
Sigh.
Forget it.
A sister had her own blessings. After all, the kid was married now, so she was grown up and should have some sense… right?
He just didn’t know who it was that made their obedient Little Shuang hate them so much. If he found out, he would definitely—
At his desk, a cold glint flashed across Qi Jingming’s glasses, a surge of menace brewing.
After chatting with her cousin like this, it was time to check on Lu Fugui’s progress.
To be honest, Lu Ningshuang was inherently quite laid-back, without much drive. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been content being a live-in son-in-law A.
So after assigning those two tasks, she had let them develop on their own without following up. But today, suddenly remembering and combining it with what she had heard from Housekeeper Nangong, a not-so-good thought surged up in her.
She edited a message to Lu Chengyue halfway, then deleted and retyped it.
Lu Ningshuang: [Be honest with me, you didn’t go and handle it personally just for this bit of money, did you!!!]
She had been careless!
Lu Fugui didn’t reply.
Hah.
Lu Ningshuang sent a one-yuan red envelope: [Talk.]
Ten seconds passed.
Lu Fugui hadn’t claimed the red envelope for so long?! This was obviously very wrong!!
Lu Ningshuang: [???]
Lu Ningshuang: [Where are you right now?]
[Lu Fugui has claimed your red envelope.]
Lu Fugui: [I know you’re anxious, but don’t be first.]
Lu Ningshuang: [???]
Lu Fugui: [Don’t worry, I didn’t do it personally.]
Lu Fugui: [There might be news in a few more days, don’t rush me.]
Lu Fugui: [I’m very busy here, gotta go.]
Lu Ningshuang: [???????????]
Lu Fugui had finally emerged, and the tone was indeed hers without mistake. But the reward for the task she had assigned wasn’t low to begin with, and Lu Fugui resisting the temptation was already off. Plus, this time she had reached out proactively…
Lu Fugui hadn’t asked for her “sell-body money” (?), nor told her to keep clinging to introduce rich lady sisters…
Help—
This wasn’t just off!
This was extremely off!!!!
While Lu Ningshuang was panicking helplessly, Housekeeper Nangong was chatting with Qin Yushu about this.
Mostly, Housekeeper Nangong was telling the latter about how Lu Ningshuang had been at the villa during this time…
Mm.
A dutiful housekeeper had to keep adding bricks and mortar to the cause of shipping her most beloved CP!
Qin Yushu occasionally chimed in with a word or two.
Over here, Lu Ningshuang was tapping away at her phone furiously, not even glancing sideways once.
Hah.
The little phoenix man A who had been so clingy that morning was now perfectly content playing by himself.
“You mean the wife once asked you to get a cat, but you refused?”
Qin Yushu’s tone was faint. “Mm.”
The reason she had refused back then was simple.
She kept Lu Ningshuang, this little dog, precisely to relieve her own boredom, to please herself. How could she then get another cat for the little dog to play with?
If the little dog’s attention was entirely stolen by the new cat, she only had that much time at home after work. What would that leave for her, the original owner?
Even if the time spent teasing the little dog wasn’t much, a dog she had brought home to raise should be watching her at all times.
All its attention fixed on her, this “owner,” occupying its mind, no longer looking elsewhere.
She raised it, so it had to provide enough emotional value to her. Otherwise, why keep a little dog?
Here, it could also be swapped for “her.”
Qin Yushu was a businesswoman, not a philanthropist.
She was very cold in dividing interests and needs.
All of the above were considerations from her own interests, but undeniably, if she gave the little dog an extra cat, Qin Yushu would naturally feel a sense of crisis.
At first, she hadn’t known the path ahead, merely instinctively resisting and rejecting.
But now…
She perhaps understood a little. The origins of all this interest-maximizing were, at root, nothing more than possessiveness at work.
So—
Even less possible.
No way!
On the other hand, Housekeeper Nangong fell into thought after hearing this, silently reciting in her heart once: “This is the first time I’ve seen the young lady care so much about someone.”
Then, drawing on her rich experience immersed in CEO literature for many years, she offered a fresh and reliable guess.
“The wife said she wanted a cat—could it be that she’s hinting you spend too little time with her?”
Qin Yushu: ?
