Mei Shouren has solid evidence of commercial fraud and insider trading. However, now is not the time to confront him directly.
I held back my disgust and brought soup to Mei Shouren again after a month.
“Shouren, I specially made this for you, give it a try.”
Dressed lightly, I pressed my frail body against Mei Shouren and pulled him into my room.
Zhou Mingming was furious and called me a seductress when she greeted her mother-in-law.
I shot a glance at my mother-in-law, “Mom, did you hear what Sister-in-law just said?”
“I am legally married to Shouren, while she shares a bed with Brother-in-law. Isn’t that more inappropriate?”
“Besides, Sister-in-law can’t have children. I need to hurry and give birth to a son to carry on the the Mei Family lineage.”
I deliberately brought up the topic of offspring, and sure enough, my mother-in-law stopped supporting her and turned to scold Zhou Mingming.
I became increasingly reckless, even pulling Mei Shouren away during dinner with him and Zhou Mingming.
“Shouren, will you accompany me tonight?”
I blinked my eyes, looking at him pitifully.
Mei Shouren couldn’t refuse.
Zhou Mingming stood barefoot on the ground: “Shouren, do you dislike me because I can’t have children?”
“Pah!” I retorted sharply, “Even if you could have children, they wouldn’t be worth anything!”
“Your deceased elder brother’s elder brother has been gone for many years; if you were pregnant, it would bring shame to the the Mei Family!”
Zhou Mingming’s expression was ambiguous as she stared intently at Mei Shouren.
Mei Shouren looked at her, then at me.
“Shouren,” I tugged at his arm, acting coyly.
With a determined bite of his teeth, Mei Shouren followed me.
During dinner that night, I ate slowly.
When Mei Shouren arrived, I intentionally said, “The family has been spending a lot lately; I still have a few shops. Why not contribute to the household expenses?”
"Oh, last time my mother-in-law asked me for that high-end cosmetics store in the city center. I didn't dare to give it to her, after all, it was given by Second Aunt. If I easily handed it over, I feared the the Mei Family would be gossiped about."
Mei Shouren looked shocked, "Mom asked you for a store?"
I nodded innocently.
He didn't eat his meal, threw down his chopsticks, and went upstairs.
I guess he went to negotiate with my mother-in-law.
The assistant was puzzled, "Madam, you clearly can handle the Matriarch, why stir up trouble?"
I chuckled lightly, "Just wait, it's like fishing; you have to be patient."
This waiting brought about the the Mei Family's extravagant shopping spree.
It led to my mother-in-law no longer asking me for a dowry.
It resulted in my p Ren ts uncovering important information.
It brought about my mother-in-law's accusations against me.
When I saw my mother-in-law in the morning, she pointed at me and scolded, " Ren't you the one who complained to Ren? Now he doesn't listen to me."
"Look at how petty you are. The the Mei Family isn't short on money. Just look at what I'm wearing and what I'm adorned with; isn't everything good?"
"Do you really think that just because I said I had no dowry last time, I would covet your dowry?"
I pretended to be wronged, wiping away tears: "Mother-in-law, you've misunderstood me. Seeing the family so wealthy makes me happy too."
The Matriarch proudly took out her bankbook: "You should keep this dowry for yourself; I don't need it."
I flattered her even more: "Mother-in-law, you're truly impressive. Unlike me, who can only rely on a dowry."
Even Zhou Mingming wore a smug expression lately.
She had become increasingly arrogant.
Even her clothing and style were particularly ostentatious.
I tried to avert my gaze from her, fearing I might laugh out loud.
Let her be arrogant.
Only when one is excessively arrogant does one easily fall.
The office lights are getting turned off later and later.
His secretaries have been complaining to me that Mei Shouren hasn't taken a break in a long time. They even hinted that Chief Secretary Zhou Mingming is disrespectful to them.
I comforted them, saying, "There are too many company matters, and manager Nie is anxious and stressed. We, as subordinates, need to be more understanding."
"Why not pay more attention to manager Nie's health?"
Upon hearing this, they all expressed their intention to take good care of Mei Shouren's well-being. Zhou Mingming, of course, was not willing to back down either.
