After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 11 The Usefulness of Men

Yu Sijia clicked on Meng Weiyuan's profile picture and looked at it. It looked familiar. She searched it up and sure enough, it was the logo of the Meng Group.

Yustia: "..."

When Meng Weiyuan opened the man's Moments, he saw that unlike young people today who set their Moments to be visible for only three days, he could see all of his Moments posts.

Yusijia suspected that the other party simply didn't know how to set it up.

Even though everything was visible, Yuska only glanced through it a couple of times before losing interest.

Almost all of them were forwarded news articles about the Meng Group, and she thought she had clicked on official media.

Yusjia was soaking in the bathtub with a face mask on. The room was filled with a faint fragrance from the aromatherapy candles. She scoffed to herself, thinking how old-fashioned she was, even her social media posts were so boring.

Like her father's WeChat Moments, at least her father's Moments would occasionally feature her mother, herself, and their second child. In Meng Weiyuan's Moments, his family members, including himself, never appeared.

It is indeed a very "dedicated" official media account.

Meng Weiyuan's message came in at this time.

Yusjia was almost startled, thinking that her "stalking" had been discovered from afar.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she opened her messages with Meng Weiyuan.

At the dinner table today, Meng's mother said that she took Meng Weiyuan to see the night view of the southern city. When she goes to the capital city later, she will ask Meng Weiyuan to make good arrangements and take her to have a good time for a few days.

Meng Weiyuan is now asking her if there's anywhere she wants to go.

You Sijia rarely travels within China because she dislikes traveling alone, and the only person she can truly connect with is Jiang Lingyu. Jiang Lingyu is a die-hard island enthusiast, loves all kinds of extreme sports, and enjoys diving. You Sijia is someone who's open to going anywhere, so she rarely ventures into inland cities within China.

Yusjia posted a meme of a cat deep in thought.

Although Meng Weiyuan had no experience accompanying people on trips, he was clearly used to making decisions.

Seeing that Yusijia was hesitant, Meng Weiyuan sent her a list of several attractions near his home, along with concise notes on the recommended times and attractions.

Finally, Meng Weiyuan added a sentence.

[Meng Weiyuan: Once we arrive in Beijing, let's go check out the wedding home first. We can buy anything you need then. The house is ready for immediate move-in. If you want to visit all these attractions, you can stay here and go whenever you want.]

Yu Sijia blushed, whether it was because the bathroom was a bit warm or because she saw the word "wedding room" mentioned in Meng Weiyuan's message.

Yu Sijia knew that the Meng family had already prepared a wedding room for her and Meng Weiyuan. Tonight at the dinner table, Meng's parents mentioned that they would see when she had time to go and take a look, and if there was anything that needed to be changed, she could bring it up so that Meng Weiyuan could make changes according to her requirements before the wedding.

After Meng's parents finished speaking, her biological father and mother said that next week would be fine.

Yusjia was left bewildered by the decision made by her elders to go to Beijing next week.

Now, when Meng Weiyuan suddenly brought up the topic of the wedding house, she finally had a feeling that "we are really going to get married".

[Yuska: Understood.]

After sending those three words, Yuska put down the phone and stood up from the bathtub.

Her young body was slender yet shapely, fair and firm, almost hourglass-shaped, absolutely perfect.

Soon Yustia picked up the bathrobe, put on the shower cap, and went outside.

It was still early, and Yu Sijia was thinking about the bear head that Yu Kuiqing had mentioned that afternoon. She drew on her tablet for more than an hour before finally preparing to rest.

Yu Sijia was essentially forced into going to Beijing.

As for herself, she wasn't really that unwilling.

The Meng family's suggestion that she first inspect the marital home and identify any necessary modifications was very thoughtful. After all, the new house is where she will likely live for a long time, and as the owner, her opinions and preferences are especially important.

Yusjia arrived in Beijing at the end of July. Her timing was unfortunate; Beijing was hosting a global summit in July, and she arrived just as the summit was beginning.

As the current de facto head of the Meng family, Meng Weiyuan had no choice but to attend.

Yu Sijia didn't mind; Meng Weiyuan had already given her the password to the new house, so she could go and check it out herself first.

"Jia Jia——"

Just as Yusjia stepped out and was waiting for her luggage, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears.

If it were in the past, Yustya would probably have been overjoyed to hear that voice.

But now...

Yusjia slowly turned around and looked at the man who had strode up to her. She seemed surprised. "Gu Yu?" she called out.

Gu Yu was dressed in a sharp suit, accompanied by a man who looked like an assistant, suggesting they were on a business trip.

Yu Sijia suddenly remembered the summit event Meng Weiyuan had mentioned, and realized that the person in front of her was also going to participate in the event.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Yu was also taken aback when he saw You Sijia. He knew, of course, that You Sijia rarely flew to inland cities, and even when she went on vacation, she almost always went to islands around the world with Jiang Lingyu. "Isn't Jiang Lingyu with you?" Gu Yu asked, not seeing Jiang Lingyu.

His tone sounded like that of a considerate older brother next door.

But Yustya couldn't help but feel disgusted upon hearing this voice.

Gu Yu knew she used to like him. If he didn't reciprocate her feelings, why would he put on such a pretentious act? If he had no interest, shouldn't he stay away from her? Just because their families were a good match, did he not care if their names ended up on the same household register as hers?

Isn't that a form of selfishness?
Yu Sijia pursed her lips, shook her head, and then smiled brightly, "I came to see Meng Weiyuan, what is Xiaoyu doing here?"

Gu Yu's smile froze, as if he was just connecting the person in front of him with the name Meng Weiyuan.

Gu Yu had heard his mother mention the You family's desire to form a marriage alliance with the Meng family in Beijing several times in the past few days, but he still felt it was unlikely.

Yu Sijia didn't want to marry far away. Besides, did Yu Sijia even know what Meng Weiyuan looked like or what his personality was like?
But now, seeing You Sijia at the airport in Beijing and hearing her reply, Gu Yu suddenly felt a pang of unease.

“Jiajia, marriage is a serious matter and not something to be taken lightly,” Gu Yu said. “If you have any thoughts, you can talk to me about it.”

Yuska looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Hmm?"

Gu Yu raised his hand and loosened his tie, perhaps because the air in the north was too dry. "You may have some misunderstandings about me and Tang Yayi. I didn't have a chance to explain to you at the dinner table that day. How about I give you a ride and we can talk on the way?"

Gu Yu never imagined that You Sijia would accept the marriage alliance with the Meng family in Beijing. In his opinion, You Sijia was still a young girl, and even if she got married, a pampered girl like her would not be willing to leave home.

He had never taken the Meng family of Beijing seriously, but now, it seemed that everything had fallen apart the moment You Sijia appeared at Beijing Airport.

Gu Yu had originally planned to wait until he was done with his current tasks before going to talk to You Sijia and explaining things properly. He knew very well that the girl next door liked him.

He didn't have much romantic feeling for Yuska, but if he had to find someone in the circle to marry into, he wouldn't refuse a marriage alliance with the Yu family.

There are no secrets in this circle. Everyone knows who messed around while studying abroad and who just obediently went to school.

Even Jiang Lingyu, who was inseparable from You Sijia, was not the same kind of person as her.
These guys can do whatever they want outside, and they can change girlfriends like they change clothes, several times a day, but when it comes to marrying someone, who wouldn't want a clean, blank slate?
Yuska was a rare blank slate in this great dyeing vat.

Gu Yu thought that You Sijia would not refuse. Even if the two families could not be united by marriage, they were still childhood sweethearts.

“No need.” Yusijia shook her head decisively, and when she spoke again, her tone was somewhat smug. “Meng Weiyuan arranged for his driver to pick me up at the door.”

Previously, You Sijia thought Meng Weiyuan was being unnecessary. She wasn't a three-year-old child; how could she possibly get lost in Beijing?

But now, Yuska feels that this man is still somewhat useful.
