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

Chapter 23 Mengshi
But she asked to stay, so kicking her out now seems a bit unfair.

Just as Yuska was curling up her toes uncomfortably under the covers, feeling that the light overhead was too bright and made her feel like she had nowhere to hide, suddenly, she felt the lights in the whole room dim.

At the same time, Meng Weiyuan's slightly low and calm voice also reached her ears.

"Go to sleep. You've had a long day. I'll leave after you fall asleep."

Yusjia hugged the soft blanket, her chin hidden in the fluffy bedding, only revealing a pair of large, somewhat round eyes.

The overhead chandelier was off; the room's light came mostly from the hazy LED strip lights near the floor.

However, this did not prevent her from clearly seeing Meng Weiyuan, who was now sitting on the sofa near the door.

The latter was holding his phone, his body slightly turned towards her.

The light emanating from the phone screen seemed to soften the man's silhouette.

Yu Sijia vaguely thought that being alone with Meng Weiyuan in a bedroom didn't seem so dangerous or ambiguous.

She didn't think Meng Weiyuan was looking at entertainment gossip or playing games on his phone; after all, such things seemed completely out of character for him. You Sijia figured, most likely, Meng Weiyuan was handling work.

A man who is focused on making money would never have any ambiguous or uncomfortable feelings for her.
No wonder he's recognized by Chairman You as the man who makes the most money.

After this thought popped into Yuska's mind, she drifted off to sleep.

Perhaps because she knew there was someone else in the room with her, she didn't feel scared or uneasy and slept very well.

However, Yu Sijia misunderstood; Meng Weiyuan was actually not dealing with work matters at the moment.

Although the Meng family is a century-old family, they keep a low profile in Beijing.

For example, Meng Weiyuan himself had difficulty finding a clear-cut photo of a man on social media platforms, even when You Sijia wanted to.

Even when participating in events, members of the Meng family rarely allow the media to publish photos of them.

It's both a way of keeping a low profile and a way of protecting privacy.

The Meng Group has a large marketing and public relations team that not only handles the group's affairs on a daily basis, but also pays attention to the privacy issues of the big boss on online platforms.

Meng Weiyuan is looking at a photograph.

It was not long ago that Sang Qi came here.

[Sang Qi: Although there are no photos of your face, several photos of you and Ms. You have appeared in the comments section of this blogger's post, some showing your profile. Would you like to delete these?]

Sang Qi brought up the photos, along with the link to the Xiaohongshu post that had become a hot topic.

The photo was taken casually, but perhaps because the sycamore trees in the background were so lush and the midday sun was just right, it had a kind of summer wonderland atmosphere.

Although it was just a photo of his back, Meng Weiyuan clicked "save" almost without thinking.

Clicking the link, Meng Weiyuan finally understood why these photos of people's backs were also suggested to be deleted.

The photo taken at his doorstep has probably been viewed over a million times, with nearly 600,000 likes and over 100,000 comments.

"My goodness, this is the first time I've ever seen someone walk out of a courtyard house like this. Even a native of Beijing would be utterly astonished."

"Is that Vtiaa haute couture that the young lady is wearing? I saw a picture of the model in the comments section, and at first glance I thought I was seeing things. How can someone wear haute couture when they don't walk the red carpet or attend events?! If it were someone else, I would definitely think it's a fake, but this young lady walking out of a courtyard house next to the Forbidden City, I think it's real!"

"I thought these places were cultural relics, protected by special people. I never imagined they were actually someone's home." "In ancient times, these would have been places only royalty and nobility could live in, right?"

"I need their contact information within one minute! I also want to see what a courtyard house at the foot of the capital looks like!"

"There's a rumor, but I can't be sure it's true. I only heard it after being passed around a few times. It says that the courtyard houses here were bought by the Meng family some years ago..."

Meng Weiyuan scrolled through the comments, not knowing how long he had been reading them. He realized that the person in the bed was already fast asleep, so he quietly got up, opened the bedroom door, and went out, while dialing Sang Qi's number.

"Delete it."

Meng Weiyuan said.

"Be polite when you contact them."

After ending the call, Meng Weiyuan glanced at the bedroom door one last time before turning and leaving Sixi Courtyard.

Yang Yi, the blogger who posted the rose wall of the courtyard house today, never expected that she would have any connection with a group like the Meng family in her lifetime.

When Yang Yi saw the private message with the blue label in the background, she thought she was seeing things.

When I clicked on the other person's profile picture and entered their homepage, I almost threw my phone away when I saw the verification section below their name.

She screamed.

Her boyfriend, who lived with her, turned around from his game screen and asked, "What's your name?"

Yang Yi jumped out of bed, shoved her phone in front of her boyfriend's face, and exclaimed, "Look! People from the Meng Group have contacted me! Oh my god!"

She herself never expected that the flower wall of the courtyard house that she casually posted today, and the Xiaohongshu account of the courtyard house's owner, would suddenly become a viral sensation.

Yang Yi spent the entire night refreshing the comments in the backend.

She also saw in the comments section that several people had already revealed who the owner of the courtyard house she posted about was.

She had heard of the Meng Group, but didn't know much about it.

When Yang Yi searched for those four words online, she was stunned.

This is a truly prestigious family that has been rooted in Beijing for over a century.

The Meng family in Beijing can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. Several of their ancestors were very famous, even featured in textbooks.

Later, during the Republic of China era, the Meng family used their family property to establish schools and sponsor talented students to study abroad.

Going back a little further in time, during the most chaotic period, the patriarch of the Meng clan divided the entire family into two groups. One group went south to Southeast Asia, partly to preserve their lineage and partly to raise funds to support those with aspirations in China. The other group remained in Beiping to protect more people.

Later, after the world stabilized, the branch from Nanyang migrated back, while the branch from Beiping reorganized the clan's assets and donated most of them to the state.

Even though such families are very wealthy now, it's really hard to feel any ill will towards them.

Moreover, the Meng family seems to have never publicized any remarkable deeds their ancestors had done, and has always maintained a low profile.

And now, people from the Meng Group have actually contacted her.

Yang Yi's boyfriend also turned around curiously, "Contacted you? What did they say?"
