A spoiled brat at max level transmigrates into the male lead's vicious ex-girlfriend.

Seeing that she had been allocated this much, he spoke up: "This much is fine."

Meng Mian quietly let out a breath.

Fortunately, he spoke up; otherwise, even if she was reluctant, she would probably have considered whether to give him two more skewers.

After all, he's the God of Wealth.

Ji Silin was taken aback when he saw her quietly exhale.

The next second, his eyes softened, a rare occurrence for him.

It seems she's reached her limit.

To make her happier, Ji Silin gave her a skewer of grilled squid, letting her have more than him.

"I'll only eat two skewers of this squid."

"Hmm." Sure enough, Meng Mian's eyes immediately curved into a smile.

The sense of satisfaction has been greatly enhanced.

Ji Silin then picked up a skewer of lamb and began to taste it.

Fortunately, the taste was indeed alright.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to bite the bullet and eat it.

The maid brought in two glasses of water.

One cup was placed with utmost respect in front of their husband, and the other with utmost respect in front of Miss Meng.

Ji Silin habitually reached out with one hand and touched the side of Meng Mian's glass of water with the back of his hand.

Seeing that the temperature was indeed suitable for Meng Mian to drink, they put it away.

Meng Mian was used to Ji Silin feeling the water temperature this way, and when she saw Ji Silin's hand with its distinct joints and extremely slender and beautiful shape, she withdrew it.

She knew then that the water was indeed drinkable immediately.

She immediately picked it up and took a sip.

She was really craving it, but the barbecue hadn't cooled down to a temperature she could eat yet, so she could only drink some water first.

Ji Silin ate two more bites of the lamb skewers, and when he felt they were warm enough, he said to Meng Mian, "They're ready, you can eat now."

"Okay!" Meng Mian immediately started eating.

As expected, her colleague wasn't lying; the skewers at this barbecue stall were delicious.

After eating all that, Meng Mian also ate a small bowl of rice and a lot of dishes for dinner.

Ji Silin was quite satisfied.

After dinner, Ji Silin went upstairs to his study.

Meng Mian didn't go upstairs; instead, she returned to the living room and watched TV.

At nine o'clock, the maid reminded her according to the instructions: "Miss Meng, you can take a shower now."

Another maid said, "I've already adjusted the water temperature for you."

"Thank you!" Meng Mian immediately got up, turned off the TV, and went upstairs.

One of the older women followed behind and asked, "Miss Meng, what would you like for breakfast tomorrow? So the kitchen can prepare it."

"No need to trouble yourself. I'll just ride my electric scooter to buy breakfast outside tomorrow. I see there are many breakfast vendors around this neighborhood."

The auntie quickly replied, "It's no trouble at all. This is what the chefs do. Just tell me."

Meng Mian then told the truth: "Hehe, actually, it's not that I'm afraid of troubling the chefs, it's just that I prefer to eat breakfast outside."

The auntie paused for a moment, then smiled: "The chefs outside can make breakfast too. They can make all kinds of cuisines from all over the country, Chinese food, Western food, snacks and desserts... whatever you want, the chefs can make it. Usually, my husband just orders whatever he wants and tells the kitchen to make it."

Meng Mian asked in surprise, "How many chefs are there?"

It can do everything.

"There are five head chefs, and the rest are their apprentices, about twenty chefs in total."

Meng Mian was shocked.

I don't understand the world of the rich.

How much money would it cost to support so many chefs?

but……

"Then I won't be polite!" Meng Mian said with a smile. "Tomorrow morning I want to eat preserved vegetable and pork patties, a mild spicy soup, pan-fried buns, and tea eggs."

Seeing Meng Mian so happy, the aunt also felt good: "Okay, I'll tell the kitchen right away."

Then the aunt stopped following Meng Mian and went to tell the kitchen.

……

The next day, in the morning, as expected, the chefs made preserved vegetable and pork patties, spicy soup, pan-fried buns, and tea eggs.

Meng Mian took a bite first, and it tasted even better than what was sold outside.

No wonder it was made by so many master chefs!

Meng Mian couldn't help but curl her toes under the table as she ate.

Seeing that Ji Silin's breakfast was the same as hers, Meng Mian swallowed the meat pie in her mouth before asking, "Didn't you tell the kitchen what you wanted for breakfast?"

"I don't have any particular requirements for breakfast. I'll just eat whatever you eat."

Ji Silin was telling the truth.

He has always been particular about lunch and dinner.

He sometimes doesn't even eat breakfast.

This wasn't the first time Meng Mian had breakfast with Ji Silin.

Previously, Ji Silin always seemed indifferent to breakfast.

Naturally, they also felt that what Ji Silin said was true.

I didn't ask anything else.

After the two of them left together, got into the car, and went to work, Ji Silin still glanced at Meng Mian's slender left forearm.

It's faded again.

I estimate that it will fade to the point of being completely invisible by tomorrow, blending in with the surrounding skin color.

……

At noon, Meng Mian was taking a lunch break and was going to eat at the company cafeteria with her colleagues.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

It was her landlord who called.

"Is this Meng Mian? The apartment I rented to you was just burgled. Although the thief was caught on the spot by the patrolling security guards, it's still possible that you didn't lose anything. You should come back and check quickly. If anything is missing, you should tell the police as soon as possible so they can help you get it back."

She did indeed have some things left unpacked and untaken from that house.

Meng Mian had no choice but to skip lunch and hurry back to Tingyi Community to check on things.

When Meng Mian returned to her rented apartment, the landlord was still there.

The landlord told her:

"That thief lives in this neighborhood; he's a resident of the building opposite this one."

"He saw that you used to come and go in luxury cars, and he also saw that a lot of high-end home appliances were brought into the house. He also saw that you seemed to have moved out, but the home appliances did not seem to have been moved out."

"He also observed his house; it's been dark for the past two days, you haven't turned on the lights, and you haven't come back."

He was certain that no one was living in the house now.

"He was short of money lately, so he came up with this idea and broke into the house."

"I want to see if there are any valuable small items in the house that he can steal and sell."

He told the police that he hadn't stolen anything yet when the security guards discovered him and arrested him.

"But who knows if he's telling the truth or not? Just take a good look."

Meng Mian quickly took a look.

Nothing was missing from the house.

Seeing that nothing was missing, the landlord said, "That's good. I'll talk to the police for you. The locks have been changed; here's the key. Keep it safe."

"Okay, thank you." Meng Mian took the keys.

The landlord left, and Meng Mian tried the new key before locking the door. She was about to go downstairs to get back to the company.

And she hadn't had lunch yet, she was really hungry.

To my surprise, I had only taken two steps downstairs when I heard something right in front of me—

"Meng Mian, what a coincidence, I see you again."

Meng Mian subconsciously stopped in her tracks before looking up and seeing that it was Xu Yanlin.

Although she didn't understand why Xu Yanlin was here, the original owner wasn't actually familiar with Xu Yanlin except for having borrowed money from him and being from the same village.

Besides, Meng Mian herself didn't care at all why Xu Yanlin was here.

She has already paid back Xu Yanlin the money.

Meng Mian simply responded with an "Mm" and continued downstairs.
