Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Chapter 17 Deliberately Making Things Difficult

"Li Meili, shut up!" Lu Fen roared angrily. She had trained Li Meili to be her confidante, not to be used to anger her.

Li Meili curled her lip dismissively, not thinking she had said anything wrong.

“Listen to your cousin and move in with me. It’ll just be me and the old lady living here. As long as you behave and listen to me, no one will dare to make things difficult for you. But if you dare to make any decisions on your own, I won’t let you off the hook.”

Lu Fen warned that Li Meili was her cousin's daughter, not her biological brother's. She said that when they handed Li Meili over to her years ago, they disregarded her life and death, which was tantamount to selling the child to her so that she could do whatever she wanted.

If it weren't for the need to use her, there would be plenty of women like her, so why would she have to be the daughter-in-law?

Li Meili nodded. She would listen to her. If she didn't, she would have already caused a huge uproar.

"Auntie, you have to think of a way for me, otherwise I'll have no hope left once Shen Menghan is really pregnant." Li Meili was still unwilling to give up and wanted a solution all at once.

Lu Fen glared at her, as if she were Shen Menghan, and said in a cold tone, "Do you think she can just give birth to the baby just because she's pregnant? It also depends on whether your aunt agrees."

Upon hearing this, Li Meili immediately beamed and echoed, "Auntie is the best, I love you to death!"

"Wipe away your tears. I get annoyed by your constant crying. Spend your time reading books and learn some tricks of the trade. Don't expect me to give you advice on everything."

"Well, I will definitely do it."

The night passed, and when Shen Menghan woke up the next day, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the water bucket in the middle. The bucket was long gone, but Li Zhicheng was also nowhere to be seen. She subconsciously reached out and touched her clothes, which were intact, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, a sound came from the bathroom: the sound of running water. Was Li Zhicheng taking a shower?

She rolled out of bed, opened the closet full of designer clothes, and found herself struggling to choose.

Although she is a wedding dress designer, her favorite is the wedding dress she designs, and she doesn't know much about everyday clothes.

After that, a single brand-name garment would cost over a thousand yuan, which was too much of a burden for an ordinary working-class person like her.

She wanted to find an opportunity to return the pile of things she bought yesterday, otherwise she would be even more in debt.

She looked around and picked up a strapless dress with a cinched waist; the white pleated skirt made her skin appear even whiter.

Li Zhicheng also got her a dozen or twenty pairs of shoes, high heels, flats, all sorts of styles. She, a woman, usually doesn't pay attention to these things when she goes shopping, but with him, she felt like she was tightly surrounded by material things, and she could hardly breathe.

A pair of shoes costs over a thousand yuan, some even tens of thousands of yuan, and her heart can hardly take it!

She is 1.65 meters tall, and wearing high heels makes her look much taller. She has her long hair tied back, with a single fringe on her forehead, and her curved eyebrows make her big eyes even more vivid.

After Li Zhicheng came out, she rushed in immediately, thinking that she had to hurry or she would be late for work!

But the bathroom was filled with the smell of his recent shower, along with the smog, and she couldn't help but fan her nose several times.

After hearing a series of crackling sounds, Li Zhicheng saw her come out.

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, his eyes were filled with amazement. She was the kind of girl who was very pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't find any fault with her from any angle.

It's also thanks to that idiot Li Guowei not recognizing her beauty, otherwise where would he have found this treasure?

"Which car can I borrow? Give me the keys." She asked hurriedly, grabbing her bag as if to run downstairs.

"You don't wear makeup?" Li Zhicheng asked curiously, finding it strange that many women would wear makeup before going out, while she was bare-faced.

Although she was already stunningly beautiful without makeup, he didn't mind her wearing heavy makeup.

“Only when it’s natural do I feel at ease.” Shen Menghan turned around and glanced at him.

"Okay, here's the garage key. Go take a look and drive whichever one you like."

Li Zhicheng tossed her the garage key and walked alone to his wardrobe to change his clothes.

Shen Menghan caught the keys and ran away.

"Xiaohan, where are you going to have breakfast? Let's have breakfast together before we go out." Li Zhicheng finally remembered something relatively normal.

He almost forgot he hadn't had breakfast yet.

"I'll just buy a steamed bun downstairs at the company. Please help yourself!" Shen Menghan didn't care about breakfast at all. As a new driver, she had to drive very carefully and was worried about scratching his car.

Li Zhicheng didn't stop her; he had another idea.

Shen Menghan was extremely cautious the whole way, driving as if she were on a battlefield, constantly worried about hitting the car in front of her and blocking the way for the cars behind her. What should have been a long drive turned into a long and drawn-out process, and she didn't arrive at the company until 9:30, half an hour late.

When the boss, Xu Yingying, saw her, she gave her a cold shoulder and embarrassed her in front of the other colleagues: "Shen Menghan, you can forget about your bonus this month because you were late."

"Mr. Xu, I know, the bonus is gone." Shen Menghan replied calmly. Being late was not her intention. The company's rules and regulations were in place. Since she was late, she couldn't expect a bonus. She hadn't said anything. Mr. Xu probably just wanted to embarrass her.

“You’ve taken four days off this month, you haven’t had a break.” Xu Yingying seemed determined to find fault with her.

“No, Mr. Xu, we have a two-day weekend every week. I’ve taken four days off in a row, so I still have four days left.” She had worked at this wedding dress design company for two and a half years, and she knew all the rules and regulations very well.

However, Xu Yingying was not the president before; she had just been parachuted in less than half a year ago.

Many people expressed their unwillingness to accept her, but for the sake of making a living, many others had no choice but to stay.

Everyone else craned their necks to look in their direction, also wanting to know the specifics. If the original two-day weekend had been changed to a one-day weekend, then they definitely wouldn't stay any longer.

"Shen Menghan, I said there's no vacation, so there isn't. Are you the company president or am I? If you don't obey the company's arrangements, you can always find another job!" Xu Yingying became more and more annoyed with Shen Menghan.

Look at all those designer brands she's wearing! Even she wouldn't dare dream of wearing them all!

She's just a small-time designer, what right does she have to wear designer brands?

When jealousy takes hold, people are prone to becoming irrational.

Shen Menghan tried her best to suppress her anger; Xu Yingying was simply too unreasonable.

Based on her unreasonable attitude alone, she shouldn't continue working there. But if she doesn't, she'll have to find a new job, and she can't afford to waste time on that.

"Mr. Xu, I'm very sorry, but I cannot accept the change from a two-day weekend to a one-day weekend. If you want to fire me because of this, fine, let's follow the labor law."

Even if she wanted to endure it, she had already reached her limit.
