Chapter 224: Once I’m Done With This

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Youjuan was sitting opposite Lu Qingye and Meng Chuyuan. She could see their every move clearly.

Lu Qingye would take the initiative to put food in Meng Chuyuan’s bowl. It did not look like he had married her for nothing.

However, she was a little worried as once they got married, the couple had been living separately. If this continued for a long time, their relationship might fade one day.

If only they had more time to spend together.

Lu Quanyu suddenly lost half of his appetite when his wife called him out to go on a business trip.

“I’m not going.” Lu Quanyu put down his bowl and chopsticks and snorted. “I haven’t even settled my project yet. Why should I help him with his?”

“Can’t you suspend your project for our son’s sake?”

Lin Youjuan had come back with him, so she naturally knew the reason for his return. Even if the jade artifact was useful, it would not be able to achieve results overnight. It would take a lot of time for the two companies to sign a contract and allocate their funds to the project.

She believed that Lu Quanyu could replace Lu Qingye during this period of time.

“He has hands and feet and can fend for himself. Why do you need to worry about him?”

Meng Chuyuan and the others saw that the atmosphere between the two of them was not right. No one dared to say anything and get involved in the matters of the elders.

Lin Youjuan snorted and expressed her dissatisfaction. “I don’t want Little Meng to follow my path.”

It didn’t matter if this man went on a business trip, but the gossip outside couldn’t be stopped.

Back then, Lin Youjuan relied on her family’s power. Indeed, no one dared to offend her, but she knew that many people were mocking her behind her back.

Now, it was Meng Chuyuan’s turn. In the eyes of outsiders, she was nothing. As long as her husband was not around, it was as if the label of an abandoned woman could not be removed.

At the mention of the past, Lu Quanyu knew what he had done wrong. His expression suddenly softened as he agreed softly, “I’ll listen to you. I’ll go on his behalf the day after tomorrow.”

However, Lu Qingye did not obey his mother’s arrangements because he had always been in charge of the work there. No one was more familiar with that project than him.

“Dad, you’ve just returned to the country. Rest for a while. I can handle my own matters.”

When Lin Youjuan heard this, she kept winking at Lu Qingye. Seeing that he didn’t understand what she meant, she said frankly, “How can that do? It wasn’t easy for me to convince your father.”

At this moment, Meng Chuyuan broke the stalemate. “Let him go.”

For Lu Qingye, it was not as simple as a job. He held shares and was one of the company’s shareholders. He had a social responsibility and obligation to lead the company’s development.

So, he didn’t just work for himself.

However, Lin Youjuan could not understand all of this. After being undermined time and time again, she looked a little disappointed. “Xiao Meng, why are you causing trouble too?”

“We naturally understand your good intentions, but now is really not the time to talk about love.” Meng Chuyuan acted methodically. She was not only helping Lu Qingye out of the predicament, but also expressing her opinion on this matter.

Meng Chuyuan could still tell which was more important.

If Lu Qingye handed over his work to his father tonight, she might really look down on him.

Perhaps her words had touched Lu Qingye’s heart. His eyes were gentler than usual, making him admire Meng Chuyuan more.

“Good girl, you’re so understanding. No wonder you’re so popular.” Lu Quanyu was also surprised by her outlook. He looked up and smiled at Meng Chuyuan. “After I’m done with my work, I’ll choose an auspicious day to hold your wedding with Ah Ye.”
