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

Chapter 242 The Grand Finale (Part 4)

Upon hearing this, Mother You's smile widened.

She brought up the fact that her daughter was causing trouble, just to see Meng Weiyuan's reaction.

Needless to say, Meng Weiyuan's reaction speaks for itself; she was very satisfied.

As someone who's been through it all, Mrs. You knows how difficult pregnancy is. Doesn't she know her daughter well enough? She's always been a pampered child, and this baby in her belly is probably making her suffer more than she's ever experienced before. If You Sijia were to lose her temper with her son-in-law, she, as her mother, would naturally stand up for her daughter.

However, it now seems that Mrs. You felt her worries were somewhat unnecessary.

"Good child," Mother You nodded. "You've worked hard these past few days."

Meng Weiyuan dared not accept such a hardship so easily, "It's all my duty."

Mother You: "If there's nothing else here, you don't need to settle us in. Go back and stay with Jiajia. If she wakes up halfway through and finds you're not here, she might get worried."

Meng Weiyuan appeared to be accepting instruction.

Actually, he came here just to double-check everyone's accommodations. The relatives from Nancheng all have businesses in Beijing, so they don't necessarily need to squeeze into his courtyard house. However, Meng Weiyuan was prepared to persuade Mr. and Mrs. You, as well as You Kuiqing, to stay.

After all, if Yusijia wakes up tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the first thing she sees is her family, she'll be overjoyed.

When Meng Weiyuan offered his opinions, he went directly to You Kuiqing.

After all, many parents still feel it's inconvenient to live here. It's their daughter and son-in-law's home, and as parents-in-law, they should have some boundaries.

But You Kuiqing is different. Ever since the last time You Sijia ran away from home, Meng Weiyuan chased after her to Nancheng, only to be met with a barrage of sarcastic remarks from his sister-in-law. He knew that his sister-in-law always put You Sijia first.

He only needed to bring up Yu Sijia and say a few words, and Yu Kuiqing readily agreed.

You Kuiqing also felt that since they were coming to Beijing for the New Year, why should the family stay separately? Last year, You Sijia had fewer opportunities to return to Nancheng because she took over Tenglong Film and Television. It was rare for the family to have time to spend the New Year together and be together day and night. Why bother going so far to a villa that they rarely stayed in for several years?
After making these arrangements, Meng Weiyuan left the banquet.

He was worried about leaving Yusijia alone in Sixi Courtyard.

That night, it snowed in Beijing at some unknown time, and by the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was already a thin layer of snow outside the courtyard.

When Meng Weiyuan went out for exercise, the housekeeper was arranging for someone to clear the snow from the yard.

"Wait a minute." Meng Weiyuan stopped them. "Just sweep the snow off the bluestone slabs, and leave the rest piled up like this."

The butler was taken aback.

Meng Weiyuan spoke again, but this time, his words sounded more like a soliloquy.

"She should like it."

After Meng Weiyuan had already run out to exercise, the housekeeper belatedly realized that Meng Weiyuan's earlier remark, "She should like it," referred to his own wife.

Last year, Yuska was excited about even a little snow at the hot spring resort. He didn't understand the people of Nancheng, or rather, he didn't understand Yuska's fondness for snowflakes, but that didn't stop him from taking care of what she loved.

When Meng Weiyuan returned from his run, there was another person with him.

Chairman You also woke up early in the morning. The courtyard house was located in the alley, and the atmosphere of the New Year was particularly strong. So, early in the morning, Chairman You was taking a walk outside when he happened to meet Meng Weiyuan, who was jogging.

"Why don't you buy some of this tofu pudding to take home?" Mr. You asked, looking at the steaming hot tofu pudding on the cart.

Meng Weiyuan: "She eats home-cooked meals. Recently, we've been able to eat at home, so we eat there. Dad, if you want to eat something, just tell me, and I'll cook it."

Chairman You looked at Meng Weiyuan with surprise. Of course, he knew that his son-in-law could cook. When Meng Weiyuan went to Nancheng to visit his daughter, he would cook for the whole family when he had time in the mornings. However, at that time, Meng Weiyuan was still a new son-in-law, and it was understandable that he wanted to make a good impression on his in-laws.

But now, listening to Meng Weiyuan's words, it seems that he cooks at home quite often?

"Don't we have a cook at home?" Chairman You asked.

Meng Weiyuan touched the tip of his nose, looking a little embarrassed, and replied honestly, "Jiajia sometimes wants to eat my cooking, so..."

Chairman You understood.

He knew his eldest daughter's character very well.

"She wants to eat it, so you'll make it?" Chairman You asked leisurely.

He didn't think his daughter's request was excessive. In his view, his daughter had always gotten whatever she wanted since she was little, and even his second son couldn't help but spoil her. There was no reason for his eldest daughter to marry into the capital and not be able to do as she pleased and have her desires fulfilled as she did when she was a young girl.

Meng Weiyuan: "If there's time, that's how it is."

Chairman You's wrinkled face immediately broke into a smile, making the wrinkles appear even deeper.

"We don't need to spoil her too much," Chairman You said, though his words didn't reflect his true feelings.

Meng Weiyuan seemed oblivious to Chairman You's insincerity, and smiled, "This is just a small matter."

Since it's a minor matter, there's no reason to indulge Yuska.

Upon hearing this, Chairman You's smile became even more genuine.

He patted Meng Weiyuan on the shoulder, "You don't need to cook today, I'll show you what I can do."

Meng Weiyuan: "???"

It wasn't that he doubted her, but rather that in all the time he had been with You Sijia, he had never actually seen Chairman You cook.

However, at times like this, he only needs to follow his father-in-law's arrangements.

When Meng Weiyuan arrived home with Chairman You, he originally intended to stay and help his father-in-law.

The father-in-law wanted to show off his skills, so the son-in-law couldn't just sit idly by and wait to eat.

But as soon as Meng Weiyuan proposed the idea, Chairman You pushed it out of the large kitchen.

“You’re just getting in the way. Go check if Jiajia has woken up yet. Go take care of her. What are you doing watching me?” Chairman You said.

Seeing that Chairman You was so determined, Meng Weiyuan knew that if he said he would stay, it might displease his father-in-law.

Meng Weiyuan went to Sixi Courtyard to wake You Sijia up.

Yu Sijia went to bed early yesterday. Even though she is pregnant now, she is prone to drowsiness, and Meng Weiyuan wants her to eat three meals a day on time.

While still asleep, Yuska felt something prickly poking her face.

She raised her hand, somewhat impatiently trying to slap him away, but unexpectedly, the soft hand slapped Meng Weiyuan across the face.

Neither light nor heavy.
