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

Chapter 9 "Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

Yu Sijia wasn't very interested in the weekend banquet. Even when Jiang Lingyu sent her a photo of Meng Weiyuan that day in Hong Kong, she still wasn't interested.

When You Kuiqing returned from working overtime at the company at noon on the day of the banquet, he went upstairs to find You Sijia and found her still drawing on her tablet.

Yusja chose fine arts as her major in college.

However, compared to sitting in the studio painting for days and nights, she prefers to hold a tablet or graphics tablet and draw some comic book characters or cute little chibi characters.

"You haven't packed yet?" You Kuiqing walked in from the door and asked in surprise, "I thought you were getting a facial this morning."

Yusjia lay on the bed, her two smooth legs crossed, even swinging in mid-air. "Why are you making that face when you're not going to see anyone?"

"I'm meeting my brother-in-law tonight," You Kuiqing said.

Yu Sijia suddenly jumped out of bed, her face flushed, and with a hint of exasperation, she tried to cover Yu Kuiqing's mouth, "Yu Kuiqing! You're so annoying! Don't yell like that!"

Yu Kuiqing: "..."

The word "brother-in-law" was enough to make Yusjia scream and yell, and she was quite worried about Yusjia's married life.

Can elementary school students get married?
Probably not?
"What are you drawing?" You Kuiqing wisely diverted You Sijia's attention by looking at the fluffy little fox and the little bear on her tablet and asked.

Yusjia hummed in agreement, "Just draw some cute little things, I want to use it as my profile picture."

She has an account where she has uploaded some cute hand-drawn illustrations before. Although she doesn't have many followers, everyone is very cute and the comment section is very harmonious.

Yuska shares her hand-drawn sketches from her spare time for free, and she feels very happy when people like them.

Later, an editor found her online, saying that he really liked her art style and asked her if she wanted to publish a picture book.

Yusjia had never tried this before and was somewhat hesitant.

Later, Gu Yu learned that these things only took time and didn't earn much money, so she shouldn't waste her energy.

In addition, due to external factors such as going abroad, there were always time difference issues when communicating with editors in China, so You Sijia ultimately could not accept the editor's invitation.

Now, when Yu Sijia heard Yu Kuiqing say, "This little bear is so cute, I want it," she couldn't help but smile. Yu Kuiqing's WeChat profile picture is now a little pig drawn by Yu Sijia. "Okay, okay, I'll send it to you in a bit," she thought. If given another chance, she wouldn't refuse the editor who invited her.

Although Yustia wasn't in high spirits at the banquet, when she went out in the evening, she wore a blue satin gown by Vinnie and a vintage 13-carat blue diamond necklace, which made her skin look as white as snow, like an elegant noble lady who had stepped out of the last century.

“This is the real Yu Sijia.” Yu Kuiqing stood next to the back seat of the Rolls-Royce and opened the car door for Yu Sijia.

Yuska raised her chin slightly, looking quite smug.

Tonight, the You and Meng families have booked a rooftop restaurant at the Hengyuan Hotel, a restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the entire southern city at night, and even the distant coastline.

As soon as Yusjia and her parents stepped out of the elevator, she looked up and saw the man standing at the door of the private room.

It's simply because the other person's presence is so strong that it's impossible to ignore them.

He looked even more imposing and aloof in person than in the photos, with sharply defined eyebrows and long, narrow eyes that appeared deep and unfathomable. Whenever Yustia met his gaze, she always felt as if she were being scrutinized.

She felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't want to show weakness, so she glared back at him.

Unfortunately, the man's gaze seemed to only linger on her for a fleeting moment before shifting away. He then took two steps forward, walked over, and greeted her parents.

Admittedly, to outsiders, the other party's words and actions appeared exceptionally polite and well-mannered, leaving no room for criticism. "...Miss You, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me."

Just as Yusjia's mind was wandering, a slightly deep voice fell into her ear.

Yuska looked at the clean, large hand extended in front of her, and her heart began to clench. How old-fashioned! A handshake?
But in the end, she still offered her hand, gently shook hands with the man's large hand, and quickly let go.

“Mr. Meng.” Yu Sijia smiled gently, her demeanor elegant and appropriate.

Seeing that his daughter and Meng Weiyuan seemed to have a good first impression, Yusaide smiled with satisfaction, "Come on, come on, let's go inside and sit down."

Meng's parents came to Nancheng together. Since the two families were preparing for an engagement, the groom's family naturally had to be more enthusiastic and show their sincerity in proposing to marry the other family's daughter.

The banquet was a success, with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves.

"Jiajia." At this moment, Mrs. You suddenly spoke up at the dinner table. She noticed that the two young people had almost finished eating. "I heard that there's a rooftop garden on the top floor of Hengyuan, which has become a popular spot for taking photos in our southern city. Ayuan has probably only come to the southern city for business trips before and hasn't had much time to explore, right? Otherwise, how about Jiajia takes you to see the night view of our southern city?"

Yuska almost couldn't keep her smile on her face.

After a moment, Yustya stood up. "Oh, okay."

Meng Weiyuan readily agreed, saying, "Thank you for your help."

Yu Sijia looked in Yu Kuiqing's direction; she didn't want to be alone with Meng Weiyuan.

At the dinner table, she could tell that her parents were very satisfied with Meng Weiyuan. How could they not be? Although Meng's father hadn't completely retired yet, almost all the affairs of the group, big and small, had fallen into Meng Weiyuan's hands.

This person is exactly the kind of child that elders always talk about.

A man who buttoned his shirt to the very top and whose tie was impeccably tailored was simply old-fashioned. What could she possibly have to talk about with someone like that?
But now You Kuiqing has betrayed You Sijia without hesitation, ignoring You Sijia's pleading look.

After You Sijia and Meng Weiyuan entered the elevator, in the confined space, You Sijia's unease became even more pronounced.

There seemed to be a cool, refreshing scent of pine resin in the air.

Meng Weiyuan had known who You Sijia was before. He recognized her when she accidentally bumped into him at the private restaurant that day.

He didn't reveal his identity because he himself wasn't sure whether the marriage with the You family would work out that day. If it wouldn't, there was no need to point out this little incident.

Meng Weiyuan now realized that the person in front of him probably didn't recognize him at all.

When he came out, he was carrying a bag from the sofa. Now it was just him and You Sijia. Meng Weiyuan noticed that You Sijia was being somewhat evasive, so he took the initiative to hand over the gift bag.

"A small gift to mark our meeting," Meng Weiyuan said.

The moment his voice came out, Yuska looked up in surprise, "For me?" She didn't expect that this person, who looked like an old-fashioned person, would actually prepare a gift.

Meng Weiyuan nodded.

Yustia didn't stand on ceremony and took the unmarked bag from the man's hand.

“Can I see what it is now?” Yustya asked.

She likes receiving gifts, but now she's very suspicious of what Meng Weiyuan is giving her. What kind of old-fashioned man would give her?
