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

Chapter 41 "A wedding only happens once in a lifetime."

“Isn’t Mdiade’s perfume a bit too niche? With so many guests, maybe not everyone will like it? The price of this perfume is too high; a bottle of perfume costing five or six thousand yuan won’t be easy to resell on a second-hand platform,” said You Kuiqing.

Yu Sijia took notes in her notebook. "Okay." Then she looked up at Jiang Lingyu on the other side of the screen. "Xiaoyu, do you have any suggestions?"

Jiang Lingyu sat on the sofa that evening, holding a honeydew melon in her hand, her eyes fixed on the computer screen. "I think you could ask your boss, Mr. Meng, whether the gifts we've chosen are more suitable for the ladies attending the wedding banquet, or if Mr. Meng has any other ideas?"

When the name "Meng Weiyuan" suddenly appeared in You Sijia's ears, she was caught off guard and didn't react for a long time.

Upon hearing this, You Kuiqing nodded, looked up from the screen, and glanced at her young mistress. "Yes, I also think we can ask my brother-in-law."

Yustia: "..."

Can she say that she hasn't contacted Meng Weiyuan for more than a month since she returned from abroad?

Why would the other party take the initiative to contact her? She suddenly took the initiative to chat with Meng Weiyuan, and she felt uneasy about it.

"Why ask him?" Yustia said sullenly. "Can't I figure it out myself?"

Through the camera, Jiang Lingyu seemed to be looking into You Sijia's eyes. They had been friends for over twenty years, and she knew You Sijia's guilty expression and tone all too well.

"Did you two have a fight?" Jiang Lingyu asked bluntly.

Yu Kuiqing was also intently watching the screen, looking as if she would rush upstairs as soon as she saw Yu Sijia nod.

Yustya: "...No."

"Then why don't you want to contact him?" Jiang Lingyu didn't give You Sijia a chance to dodge.

Yustia: "..."

Having a childhood friend who knows everything about you is really annoying!

“If you don’t say anything, I’m going to call my brother-in-law,” You Kuiqing said seriously.

Their eldest daughter didn't marry into the capital to be a doormat.

The young lady is all-powerful at home, getting whatever she wants. She should expect the same after marriage. Otherwise, isn't marriage just about enduring hardship without any real suffering?
"No." Yu Sijia, fearing that Yu Kuiqing would actually do what she said, hurriedly replied, "I've just been too busy lately, so we haven't been in touch for a while."

"Isn't now the perfect opportunity?" Jiang Lingyu asked.

Yuska simply flopped onto the bed and rolled around. "He doesn't contact me, so why should I contact him? I won't!"

The other two people in the video: "..."

Jiang Lingyu looked at You Kuiqing and said, "Second brother, let's wash up and go to bed."

You Kuiqing nodded in deep agreement, "I'm sorry you had to see my sister being so pretentious."

Yuska complained, "Hey, you two, I'm still online! Can't you even talk about me behind my back a little more discreetly?"

"Isn't that the truth?"

Yustia: "..."

"Of course not! It's not like I'm afraid to message him!" After saying that, Yusjia picked up her phone in front of the tablet, pointed it at the camera, and said, "Look carefully, I'm going to message him right now!"

As she said this, she had already found the chat window with Meng Weiyuan.

The two hadn't chatted for a while, and their chat box was almost buried at the bottom.

You Kuiqing shook her head helplessly. With her young lady's easily provoked nature, there was no hope for her.

After opening the chat box, Yu Sijia realized that she and Meng Weiyuan were not completely unconnected; in fact, they were.

In the few days after she returned from abroad, Meng Weiyuan messaged her, but she was probably busy and forgot. She glanced at it, intending to reply later, but never did. Meng Weiyuan sent about three or four messages, and then stopped.

Realizing that she had "read but not replied," Yuska felt even more guilty.

Normally, she would have already pretended to be dead. But now, in front of the second brother and Jiang Lingyu, she has already taken out her phone. If she put it back now, wouldn't it seem a bit cowardly?

Yu Sijia braced herself, especially when she saw the message Meng Weiyuan had sent her ten days earlier: "If you encounter any problems with the wedding preparations, contact me." She felt her face burning with embarrassment.

[Yusjia: What are your thoughts on souvenir gifts?]

After sending the message as if resigned to her fate, Yusjia threw her phone onto the bed and collapsed back onto her pillow.

She felt that Meng Weiyuan wouldn't reply to her.

Put yourself in her shoes. If she were to repeatedly try to win someone's favor with a cold shoulder, she would have blocked them long ago and never spoken to them again.

But now...

Yustia sighed.

But before Yusjia could completely exhale, her phone rang.

It wasn't a WeChat notification sound, but a phone call from Meng Weiyuan.

She stared in surprise at the caller ID on the screen, and then she remembered that day when she was still abroad, and Meng Weiyuan explained that making a phone call was more efficient and convenient than sending a WeChat message. You Sijia felt as if she had a lump in her throat again.

This straight man is a killer!

Although I kept complaining to myself, I still had to answer the phone.

"Hello." When Yu Sijia answered the phone, she glanced at the video call of the three people. Yu Kuiqing and Jiang Lingyu had left the video call at some point, leaving her alone in the room.

"It's me, Meng Weiyuan."

The man's voice and the opening introduction always seem to be the same, cold and unchanging.

Yustia said "Oh," and "I know."

Meng Weiyuan: "You're asking me about the wedding favors? Are we finalizing the wedding favors now?"

Yustia hummed in agreement. She sat up in bed, holding the phone in one hand and unable to resist raising the other hand between her teeth to bite her nails.

Yu Sijia was trying to figure out how to explain the repeated "read but not replied" messages, but to be honest, it sounded like she was trying to fool a fool. She wasn't sure if Meng Weiyuan would think she was treating him like an idiot.

"You must have been very busy before? You must have worked hard." Before Yusjia could come up with any excuse, Meng Weiyuan spoke first.

Yustya seemed petrified on the bed. "Huh?"

Even through the phone line, Meng Weiyuan could almost picture Yusijia's stunned expression. "Too busy to look at her phone."

Yuska chuckled awkwardly, "You knew all along? I thought you were going to be angry and ignore me."

“Why are you angry? I know you’re busy with the wedding arrangements too,” Meng Weiyuan said. “But if you’re too busy, you can share the workload with me.”

How could Yusjia possibly accept that?
She was responsible for mostly trivial matters, which was actually much easier than for the average bride. "Do I have to come to you to look at jewelry?"

"can."

"Won't this interfere with your work?"

“A wedding only happens once, but you have many years of work ahead of you. I'll satisfy you first,” Meng Weiyuan said in a calm voice.
