I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

Yueying didn’t know what Jiang Youchen was thinking. If she knew the scumbag had such thoughts, she would beat him so hard that even his mother wouldn’t be able to recognize him.

Knowing that grandma was inconvenient, Jiang Youchen took the initiative to get out of the car and carried her down. He saw Yueying naturally took grandma's arm, and the two of them held each other's arms and slowly walked towards the elevator.

Jiang Youchen watched the scene from behind and couldn't help but smile. This feeling seemed pretty good.

Grandma Jiang's birthday party is coming up in a few days. Yueying remembered that in the original text, Grandma Jiang had prepared a dress worth millions for the original owner, intending to solemnly introduce her daughter-in-law's identity at the birthday party.

As a result, the store sent both Jiang Youchen and the original owner's dresses to the company. Yuan Simeng wanted to wear it herself, but Jiang Youchen sent the dress back to the villa for her own good.

Before the assistant took the skirt away, Yuan Simeng was naughty and cut a lot of the seams at the waist, causing the original owner to make a fool of herself at the banquet.

Later, when the elders of the Jiang family investigated the matter, Yuan Simeng said that she thought the dress was for her. Because it didn't fit, she tried to take it apart a little bit, but found that it still didn't fit, so this misunderstanding occurred.

The original owner questioned Yuan Simeng about the loopholes in her words, and the other party pretended to be sick and fainted.

The situation that should have been that the person who destroyed the dress should apologize, was turned into that by Jiang Youchen, the original owner had to apologize and needed to give Yuan Simeng a blood transfusion.

Yueying contacted the high-end brand store that prepared the dress two days in advance and emphasized the importance of the dress to her. If she was not the final recipient, neither the Jiang family nor the Bai family would cooperate with them again.

She thought that the brand store would take it seriously and she would receive the dress on time, but she didn't expect that Yueying would still receive the cut dress sent by Jiang Youchen's assistant after noon.

"Why did you send it?"

Yueying looked at Assistant Chen who appeared in the villa and felt a little annoyed.

"The store sent your clothes and the president's clothes to the company today."

Seeing that the lady didn't say anything, he took the dress with a cold face, opened the bag directly, and started checking every part of the dress.

Assistant Chen felt a little embarrassed about the direction of the situation and didn't know whether to leave. Then he saw Yueying turn over and find the marks of cutting inside.

This is a big deal.

Having followed the president for several years, he was naturally very clear about the brands and prices of these dresses, especially what this dress meant today, he understood it even better.

"Madam, this... please wait a moment."

Assistant Chen quickly contacted the high-end store and then called Jiang Youchen to inform him of the matter.

Jiang Youchen, who was being pestered by Yuan Simeng to have lunch together, received a call from his assistant. He stared at the woman who was happily eating opposite him with eyes so sharp that they seemed to shoot through her.

"Is it too late for them to send someone over now?"

"I'm not sure about the details, but Mingjia said the designer will personally bring someone over to take a look, and they should be here soon."

"Tell them to bring the most expensive dress in the store, just in case they are late and have a backup."

When Yuan Simeng heard Jiang Youchen's words, she raised her head unexpectedly and met his unfriendly gaze. She swallowed.

After hanging up the phone with his assistant, Jiang Youchen looked at Yuan Simeng, who seemed a little guilty, and remained silent.

Being stared at by such sharp eyes, how could a person who had already done something bad remain unmoved?

"Youchen, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"My wife's dress is ruined."

Jiang Youchen always called Yueying by her full name, and when he suddenly said the word "wife", Yuan Simeng was not able to react at first.

The air was still for about half a minute before she came to her senses and forced an awkward smile.

"Mrs?"

"Yes, today's grandma's birthday party is to formally introduce my wife to the famous family."

"Then who am I?"

Yuan Simeng bit her lower lip, tears in her eyes about to fall, it was really heartbreaking.

"I made it clear to you a few days ago. From now on, I will only treat you as a sister. If you have any difficulties in life, I will still help you solve them."

Jiang Youchen originally wanted to get angry, but when he saw Yuan Simeng's expression, his tone softened.

"What sister? I don't want one!"

"So what do you want? Mrs. Jiang's position?"

When Yuan Simeng heard Jiang Youchen raise his voice, she knew that she couldn't use force at this time, so she could only shed tears and soften her attitude.

"You Chen, you know that's not what I mean. I just don't want to share you with others."

Seeing the other person crying, Jiang Youchen felt a little confused. He did feel heartbroken, but he could also clearly feel annoyed.

"Okay, grandma and the others have chosen me as their wife, and that's something that can't be changed. Since I can't give you marriage, I naturally can't delay you."

"No, Youchen, I really like you. It's okay if we don't have a formal relationship. You just need to let me stay with you."

"Si Meng, who do you think I am? A scumbag who keeps the red flag flying at home but flies colorful flags outside?"

Even though the couple lived in the apartment with their grandmother these days, and although they lived in the same room, Yueying was busy with work from morning till night, so Jiang Youchen had basically no chance to develop feelings with her.

Now he could imagine that Yueying's dress was ruined, and what kind of cold stares he would face when he returned home today. It was possible that another divorce agreement was waiting for him.

"I don't."

Jiang Youchen's expression became more and more ugly in Yuan Simeng's eyes. She clenched the knife and fork in her hands and answered unwillingly.

"Remember this, Bai Yueying will always be my wife, you can't touch her things, other than that, you can tell me anything you want."

"it is good."

Yuan Simeng didn't know what went wrong. It was obvious that Yueying was weaker than in her previous life. She hadn't even done anything before the other party evaded and withdrew. Why did Jiang Youchen change instead?

Is it really because what you can't get is better?

She had to do something, otherwise if Jiang Youchen continued in his current state, she would have no chance.

"Youchen, although my life abroad was difficult, I have completed my studies at Odin College. Jiang's just acquired the clothing brand Jinzhixin. I want to work as a director in the design department. Is that possible?"

She wanted Jiang Youchen to see her abilities and that she was the good wife who could help him.

"Jinzhixin is not a small brand. After the acquisition, there were basically no changes in management personnel in the design department. It is difficult to force a director to go there. You can go in as an ordinary employee first, and I will help you arrange it later."

"okay."

Yuan Simeng picked up the drink on the table with a faint smile, lowered her eyes, and looked at the knife in front of her with hatred. She had just said that she could give you anything you want, but now she was making excuses when it came to the position of design director.

Thinking of how Jiang Youchen had previously instructed his assistant on the phone to have someone repair Yueying's dress, Yuan Simeng had originally wanted to embarrass the other party so that she wouldn't need to compare anything, but now she felt that she had to pick a dress that would outshine all the other girls.

Although she has been back in China for more than two months, Yuan Simeng has attended many parties, big and small. Every time she accompanies Jiang Youchen, the clothing expenses that Assistant Chen gives her are basically controlled at tens of thousands of yuan.

She mentioned it to Jiang Youchen vaguely twice, and later she just raised the standard from a few tens of thousands to a large tens of thousands.

I still remember when I was arguing with Assistant Chen, the assistant said that the president's wife's clothing expenses for each banquet she attended were basically around hundreds of thousands, and she was barely able to break even.

Today, she bought Bai Yueying a high-end custom-made item worth one million yuan. She couldn't swallow this insult when she thought about it.

Half an hour before the banquet, Jiang Youchen brought Yuan Simeng, who had changed into a high-end outfit worth more than 200,000 yuan.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw Yueying, who was wearing a warm-colored cheongsam and had her hair combed into a gentle woman's bun, standing next to the old lady, chatting and laughing with the guests.

Yueying first raised her eyes and glanced at the couple, then pretended not to see them and continued talking to the guests.

When Old Mrs. Jiang and Jiang's mother saw the person coming, their faces instantly fell.

"What the hell! Are you trying to piss me off to death and turn the birthday party into a funeral?"

Grandma Jiang scolded her grandson, then turned away and said, "out of sight, out of mind."

"Bah, bah, bah, grandma, don't talk nonsense."

Before Jiang Youchen and Yuan Simeng could speak, Yueying spoke first.

"Come in when you come."

Jiang's mother glanced at them coldly and then greeted other guests with a smile.

Yuan Simeng held the gift in her hand and wanted to wish someone a happy birthday, but no one paid any attention to her.

In the past, Jiang Youchen might have defended her and argued with her grandmother or mother, but today he saw Yueying wearing a relatively elegant cheongsam, which was certainly not as good as the million-dollar haute couture dress that was destroyed.

He had a feeling that if he said a few more words, the old lady would grab the incident of destroying the dress and kick Yuan Simeng out at the door.

The banquet began, and Yueying helped Grandma Jiang go on stage to speak.

Because Yueying had always accompanied the old man to welcome guests, many people already knew that the girl in the light pink magnolia cheongsam was Madam Jiang.

"This is the eldest daughter of the Bai family. I'm sure everyone knows her, but today I want to introduce her to another identity. She is my granddaughter-in-law."

Although Yueying knew that the old lady was going to introduce herself as the granddaughter-in-law of the Jiang family, she never expected that the old lady would introduce her in this way, leaving her no room at all.

"Also, I know the Bai family may not be interested in her, but this is the attitude our man's family should have. Witness me, today I will transfer 30% of the shares of Jiang's Group in my hands to my granddaughter-in-law."

Yueying's little face twitched instantly. Why did this old lady always launch surprise attacks?

Although she is the beneficiary, 30% of the Jiang family's shares is an astronomical figure no matter where you look. It was given to her so suddenly, which must have caused great hatred for her.

It took all of Yueying's strength to maintain her facial expression.

Grandma Jiang of Jiang Group holds 40% of the shares, Jiang Youchen and his mother hold 20% in total, his two aunts hold 16% each, and the remaining 24% is in the hands of outsiders.

The promise of giving Yueying 30% of the shares would be like handing a knife into her hand if she had ambitions to take over the Jiang family.

"mom!"

"grandmother!"

As expected, no one in the Jiang family was willing to speak.

Although Jiang Youchen wanted to continue his marriage with Yueying, he was also the leader of a company and the heir to the shares. As a president, he only held 20% of the shares. His first reaction was shock.

The most jealous outsider was Yuan Simeng. She was obviously a little irritated and felt that the shares should belong to her. The look in her eyes when she looked at Yueying was filled with naked hatred.

"Grandma, why did you give me so many shares?"

Yueying didn't want a nice birthday party to turn into a vegetable market where people were fighting over property, so she quickly refused.

"It's not much. This is a little gift from grandma to her grandson's wife."

Grandma Jiang patted Yueying's hand, took a document from the housekeeper, and insisted on putting it in her arms.

Instantly transformed into the largest shareholder of Jiang Group, if jealousy could take shape, Yueying felt that she would have been stared at like a sieve by everyone in the audience by now.

"This is only Jiang's, not including the companies that were subsequently acquired and listed in recent years. Why are you in such a hurry? Bai's helped Jiang's so much over the years. This is what Xiaoying deserves."

Grandma Jiang pulled Jiang Youchen's arm, glared at him, and whispered to him.

"understood."

In fact, Jiang Youchen felt a little regretful after he spoke up, mainly because his grandmother did not discuss it with him and he was caught off guard.

The contradiction lies in that on the one hand, he has to give it to his wife, but on the other hand, from the perspective of a business manager, he feels that the risk has increased.

"Mom, how can you give all your shares to an outsider at once!"

Jiang Youchen's aunt Jiang Lening saw that her sister-in-law and nephew were silent, so she had to move forward.

"What is an outsider? This share should have been given to Xiaoying when she came in to take care of Xiaochen."

Jiang Lening saw that the old man was angry. After all, it was her mother's birthday party, and all the people sitting there were important people. She had no choice but to shut up and accept this.

After the important matters were announced, the banquet naturally began.

Yueying and Jiang Youchen, as the legitimate grandson and granddaughter-in-law, naturally performed the opening dance.

"Just give me 3% of the shares as a reward for taking care of you for three years. I will return the rest to you. Now celebrate grandma's birthday."

According to the current market situation of Jiang's company, 3% is more than 1 billion. Yueying thinks it is a good deal.

"No, really."

Hearing Yueying discussing the shares with him seriously, Jiang Youchen wanted to bite off his tongue. How could he have grown a mouth and make that extra shout just now?

It was obvious that grandma's decision would not change, and he was not opposed to giving her the shares from the bottom of his heart. Now it seemed that he had offended his wife instead.

After the dance, Yueying walked towards the group of girls. Seeing Rouyi breaking free from his hands, Jiang Youchen couldn't help but clench his fists.

What should he do if his wife misunderstood him? He wanted to follow Yueying to explain, but was stopped by Yuan Simeng who came over.

"Youchen, I feel a little dizzy, can you help me up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately softened.

Jiang Youchen had no choice but to catch the person, but he was obviously more anxious to find Yueying to explain, and for some reason, his body's reaction was to pick up Yuan Simeng and walk towards the door.

"That, that brat!"
