After Being an Improper Control Group as an Abandoned Wealthy Wife, She Effortlessly Came Out on Top

Married Life

The autumn sun was warm, and there was a hint of refreshment in the breeze.

A beam of light shone in from the window, hitting the ground directly. The curtain fluttered gently in the wind, and the greenery outside trembled.

In the chess room, a group of rich ladies were playing mahjong. From grabbing cards to setting them up, the sound of mahjong tiles was crisp and pleasant.

The woman sitting in the north was wearing a tailored midi skirt. Her thick hair was tied up and she was wearing pearl earrings. The swan necklace around her neck was not only exquisite, but it also accentuated the beauty of her collarbone.

The woman’s skin was fair and she looked gentle. Her makeup made her radiant and captivating.

There was a large diamond ring on her slender fingers. It was so bright that it was impossible to ignore.

Ever since the game started, her mahjong friends chattered about her social status. They had easily made more than hundreds of comments about her.

Until the woman won a few rounds in a row…

“I’m going to play the game seriously this time. I don’t believe I’ll still lose this round.

The lady sat on the opposite glanced at the young woman and said bluntly, “Mrs. Lu, we won’t be giving in to you this round.”

The woman who was dressed exquisitely and had good luck was called Meng Chuyuan. She was 23 years old this year and Lu Qingye’s wife. She was also the Mrs. Lu they were talking about.

Meng Chuyuan had just finished grabbing the next tile. When she saw that it was not what she wanted, she threw it out.

She looked up and smiled lightly. She said bluntly, “It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. As long as you have fun.

“Mrs. Lu’s mentality is really good.”

The mahjong friend sitting opposite her said sourly, “I don’t think Mrs. Lu has a good mentality. It’s probably because her husband is rich and doesn’t return home often.”

These words sounded like a friendly quip, but the lady’s tone was filled with mockery.

She was not stupid and naturally knew that there was a hidden meaning behind those words.

Meng Chuyuan did not show any unhappiness on her face. She smiled and replied, “Mrs. Fang, you understand me the best.”

Mrs. Fang’s eyes flashed, her face abundant with expression. She raised her eyes and winked at the other two people before looking back at Meng Chuyuan, almost as if she had caught a flaw.

“It’s unacceptable that he doesn’t return home. Mrs. Lu, you have to be careful. Don’t let another woman seduce this good husband of yours.”

“Mr. Lu is handsome and rich. One look and you can tell that he’s the type who likes both men and women. Who can resist him?”

“That’s right, Mrs. Lu. Women nowadays are very cunning. You have to keep an eye on your husband.”

Meng Chuyuan’s parents died when she was young. She grew up with her grandmother. After her grandmother passed away, she left her hometown and came to Wei City. She met Lu Qingye when she was in her most pathetic state.

Just half a month ago, she had registered her marriage with Lu Qingye.

Everyone was polite to her on the surface, but they were more or less bitter.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she was a woman with no family background. What ability did she have to make Lu Qingye marry her willingly?

Actually, she and Lu Qingye had agreed to a contractual marriage in private. The two of them did not have any emotional affection towards each other. To put it bluntly, both of them were just taking what they needed.

During the marriage period, she could swipe Lu Qingye’s card as she pleased. She did not need to give birth to the Lu family’s child, nor did she have to fulfill her obligations as a wife. In the future, if the two of them got a divorce, she could even take half of Lu Qingye’s assets.

She only needed to hold the title of Mrs. Lu and occasionally accompany Lu Qingye to some necessary social events to make her presence known.

Why wouldn’t she be happy when such a good thing happened to her?

Even though this marriage was only in name, with Lu Qingye’s qualifications, he satisfied Meng Chuyuan’s needs in both superficial and material terms. Her life in a wealthy family was incomparable to others.

Therefore, Meng Chuyuan did not care about this matter at all and she was not affected by their words. She even said without hiding anything, “But who can refuse a husband who is handsome and rich?”

…

In the afternoon, the bright sunlight shone on the ground, and the temperature outside rose slightly.

In the office building

The man whistled softly and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, playing a game.

The manager suddenly walked in and saw such a vexing scene. She walked up to him angrily. “Lu Jinsen! How can you still be in the mood to play games at a time like this? The variety show is going to start in two days. Have you contacted your brother? Are we still recording this show?”

Lu Jinsen was busy with his team fight and ignored her.

Seeing that he was completely ignoring her, the manager was furious. She reached out and snatched his phone away. “Stop playing. I’m asking you a question.”

Lu Jinsen looked up at her and said irritably, “What are you doing? I’m having a team fight.”

After the manager turned off his phone, she threw it on the coffee table. Seeing that the screen was off, Lu Jinsen turned his head and showed his dissatisfaction on his face.

“Why are you looking for me?” Lu Jinsen sounded impatient.

“Have you contacted your brother about the variety show that’s in two days? The production team needs to go through the process with the both of you.”

“No, I’m not recording it anymore.”

“We’ve already signed the contract. Are you saying that we don’t film it just because of your whims and wishes?” The manager was so angry that her expression changed drastically. She said fiercely, “It’s fine if you don’t film it. You can just pay for the breach of contract.”

Upon hearing that he had to pay the contract termination fee, Lu Jinsen suddenly looked up with a hint of panic in his eyes.

Some time ago, the production team invited Lu Jinsen to participate in a kinship variety show. They requested him to bring a brother or sister to participate together.

Initially, he had planned to participate in the variety show with Lu Qingye but unexpectedly, Lu Qingye was still overseas on a business trip.

After some thought, Lu Jinsen calmed down and his attitude gradually softened. “My brother hasn’t returned from his business trip. There’s no way to record it.”

The manager was silent for a moment. Then she said, “Do you have any other siblings, then?”

“I have a sister who’s still in school and doesn’t have time to film.”

He thought that he was definitely done for this time.

Just as Lu Jinsen was thinking about how to ask his family for money to pay the contract termination fee for the production team, his manager suddenly thought of something. “Since your brother isn’t free, what about your Sister-in-law?”

Lu Jinsen frowned and looked at her in confusion. “What does this have to do with her?”

“Let your sister-in-law do it.”

Lu Jinsen rejected without thinking. “I refuse.”

“The rejection is invalid. Unless you want to pay the high penalty fee.”

The manager’s words made Lu Jinsen shut up obediently. She bent down to pick up the phone on the coffee table and handed it to him. She urged, “Hurry up and call your sister-in-law.”

His gaze was locked on the phone and he did not reach out to take it. He was not familiar with Meng Chuyuan and could not bring himself to do so.

Perhaps because he had hesitated for too long, the manager could not stand it anymore. She picked up his phone and raised it to his face, unlocking the phone and calling Meng Chuyuan on his behalf.

After the call went through, the manager briefly explained the situation to Meng Chuyuan. In the end, she hoped that she could save the situation and participate in the show with Lu Jinsen.

“Sure, no problem.” Meng Chuyuan had just embarrassed the three madams at the mahjong table. They probably wouldn’t look for her to play cards for a long time. Anyway, she had nothing to do, so she agreed.
