After getting the certificate, you will be a widow
Chapter 70: Prepare for a Rainy Day
Ru Meng lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and said in a frustrated tone: "I knew you would think so too."
When he first woke up, he said "hmm".
Ru Meng: “…”
Umm...what does that mean?
Does this confirm that I am a money-hungry woman in your mind?
"Madam, you are precious enough, worth 3 million." Chu Xing said. Seeing Ru Meng's mood change, he carefully put her on the dining chair and continued, "I will tell you a secret, but you have to promise me first that you are not allowed to be happy."
"Ah?" Ru Meng was stunned. "What secret is it? And you're not allowed to be happy?"
"In fact, I'm quite poor and stingy. I paid the 3 million betrothal gift to Ru Qinghui in installments. So far, I have only paid 1 million."
Chu Xing's deep dark eyes sank slightly, with a half-smile on his face. He leaned close to Ru Meng's ear and continued, "I only spent 1 million to marry you, but you have to bear the infamy of 3 million betrothal gifts. I was wrong. You can punish me however you want."
"Haha..." Ru Meng couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard his words!
When Chu Xing saw Ru Meng smiling so brightly, he couldn't help but grin, "You broke the rules, Ru Meng."
"Boss Chu, I'm sorry. I didn't promise you not to laugh just now." Ru Meng forced herself to stop laughing. She paused for a moment and continued, "You are indeed very stingy. It is really not kind of you to let me suffer a bad reputation."
Chu Xing opened his deep dark eyes slightly, looking at Ru Meng expectantly: "So you support what I'm doing?"
Ru Meng smiled but did not answer.
Chu Xing put the sandwich and milk he made in front of Ru Meng: "I want to have breakfast, don't laugh when you are full. You won't be able to eat and you will be malnourished."
Ru Meng was pleasantly surprised: "It looks delicious. Thank you, husband!"
Chu Xing saw Ru Meng was happy and couldn't help but grin: "Try the breakfast and see if it tastes good."
"As long as you make it, you can tell it tastes good just by looking at it." Ru Meng raised her head, her watery pupils slightly dilated, and she praised with a happy expression.
She knows very well that men need praise, and she will never be stingy with her praise as long as it makes her happy.
Chu Xing was slightly satisfied, took his breakfast and put it down opposite him, then sat down and returned to the previous topic: "You haven't answered my question just now. What do you want me to do with the remaining 2 million betrothal gifts?"
Ru Meng: “…”
It’s been 10 minutes and the topic hasn’t cooled down yet... Bro, are you addicted to cooking?
Don't you just want to know my opinion on your only paying Ru Qinghui 100 million as a betrothal gift?
If you dream of this, you can't help but find it funny.
After taking a big bite of the sandwich, she slowly said, "You can do whatever you want with it. I thought you gave Ru Qinghui and Li Mei 3 million. My heart is almost broken. Giving them 1 million is too much for me, let alone the million. It's already enough."
"Forget about the 1 million. I've already given it to you. After all, Ru Qinghui is still your father. Just consider it as your filial piety, repaying him for his kindness in raising you all these years."
"I wish I had nothing to do with him. It was my grandmother who raised me. He and Li Mei brought me from my grandmother to the city just to earn dowry for me when I grew up. Since then, I have either been beaten and scolded or locked in a small dark room and starved. Do you think he feels guilty towards me?" Ru Meng gritted her teeth, her tone cold.
After a moment of silence, she continued, "I started working part-time when I was in high school, working during the winter and summer vacations to earn tuition. In my second year of high school, Ruhuan even stole the tuition I earned from working. Do they deserve so much money?"
Chu Xing was very surprised to hear her words, and a complex emotion was revealed in his deep dark eyes. He felt resentment towards Ru Qinghui and Li Mei, mother and daughter, but also pity and sadness for Ru Meng.
He thought of that rainy night 13 years ago when thin Rumeng was wearing thin clothes and huddled under the eaves of a house on the street. Her body was shaking from hunger and cold. If she had not met him that night, she might have frozen to death on the street.
Chu Xing didn't know what Ru Meng, who was hidden deep in his heart, had gone through after Butler Zhang took him away from the police station early that morning, and how she had survived all these years.
Three years ago, when he met Rumeng again at Ke Fei's forum, he saw her standing tall and graceful in front of him. Chu Xing thought she had grown up healthily. He thought Rumeng had run away from home in anger just like him.
It was not until later, when Chen Yi investigated Ru's family situation, that he learned that Rumeng had often been beaten, scolded and bullied by her stepmother and her stepdaughter while growing up.
But he never imagined that things were even worse than he knew. If he had known this earlier, Ru Qinghui and Li Mei would not get a penny.
When Chu Xing thought of this, he couldn't help but reach out and hold Ru Meng's hand. Before he could say anything, Ru Meng spoke first, "How can I eat if you... hold my hand?"
She blinked her clear and lively eyes and looked at Chu Xing with a puzzled look.
Chu Xing curled her lips and smiled: "I just want to hold it for a while, it will be fine in a while."
"You're not going to cheat me and not give me the 2 million betrothal gift, are you?" Rumeng blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at Chuxing with a hint of doubt in her eyes. After taking a sip of milk, she continued, "I changed my mind. I won't be soft-hearted and refuse the million betrothal gift just because you hold my hand tightly. Anyway, I've already been blamed, and I'll be at a loss if I refuse it."
Rumeng suddenly thought of Xu Feifei's provocation. Although she didn't know why Xu Feifei suddenly stopped bombarding Chuxing's phone calls, it might be because she had a car accident, but it didn't mean that she would stop provoking her after being discharged from the hospital.
Wild flowers grow every year without being planted, and worries grow every day without any roots.
Ru Meng sighed in her heart!
So, she thought, in order to deal with the uncertainty of the future, she must prepare for it.
The more money you have and the more security you have, the more choices you have.
Since the plan to run away from home and start a new life has failed, I will reorganize and change my old ideas.
Chu Xing looked at Ru Meng with his deep dark eyes, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes and a strange smile on the corners of his mouth.
Just now he kept saying that he would handle it however he wanted and acted as if he didn't care, but now he suddenly changed his mind.
Before the breakfast was over, two hundred million were abused repeatedly by the same woman.
They say women are fickle, and it’s true.
I am the president of Chu Group. Many women wanted to marry me, but I spent 3 million RMB to marry the woman in front of me. I must be sober.
Is the woman who has been hidden deep in my heart for more than ten years considered as an aged cellar? 3 million is worth it.
Chu Xing muttered to himself, and then he changed the subject: "I will give you the betrothal gift, but I will arrange for the remaining 200 million to be transferred to your account and you can use it at your own discretion. That is what you deserve."
It is said that the more expensive a woman is, the more a man will cherish her. Is that true?
So you asked me to be a widow for three years because the 3 million betrothal gift was not fully paid, so you don’t care?
Some inspirational quotes on the Internet say that the more money a man spends on you, the more reluctant he will be to leave you.
Then I understand!
Like a dream, thinking secretly...
When Chu Xing saw that she was distracted, his deep dark eyes were stained with a layer of doubt, and he frowned and asked, "Any objections?"
"Okay." Ru Meng said, answering promptly and clearly.
She looked at Chu Xing with her clear and lively eyes and said seriously, "I will need to support my husband in the future, which will be stressful. I have to save more money in case of any unexpected events."
Ru Meng and Chu Xing never imagined that her words would come true!
