Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Li Dahai was furious at his son's lack of manners, lamenting his failure to properly raise his son.

Huang Ju chimed in, "This money is for the children. What do you mean by taking it? No wonder your family is poor. You've probably been hiding all the money."

"Shut up." Li Dahai acted as if he didn't recognize the mother and daughter. He spoke irrationally. Shouldn't they be on the same side at this time? What was he yelling about?

Huang Ju was indignant. She was a sensitive woman, and even though Li Dahai was old, she was wary of anyone trying to swindle him out of his money.

With her help, Li Guowei became even more self-righteous: "That's right, it's for my wedding with Jingjing."

"Go argue at your own home!" Runqiong shouted.

Everyone at the dinner table pursed their lips, all afraid of the old woman. Her shrewd eyes swept over the family, and then she said coolly, "Don't come to Zhicheng to cause trouble again, or you'll have to move somewhere else."

Shen Menghan finally understood her grandmother's intentions. It turned out that she was aware of what Xu Jingjing had been up to these past few days, but she just hadn't found a suitable opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Xu Jingjing quickly tugged at Li Guowei's clothes, telling him not to continue. When an old woman gets angry, who can withstand it? Don't they still want to get benefits from her?

Li Guowei was unconvinced, but now was not the time to make a scene. He suddenly realized that his father was hiding many things, and that he might have other assets elsewhere that he had been keeping from him.

Then he looked at his mother. She had always been on his side and shouldn't have helped him hide the truth; he was afraid she really didn't know either.

Li Dahai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly apologized: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely teach Guowei a lesson."

He was older than Runqiong, and as the eldest brother in the Li family, he had to be mindful of her feelings. He knew this and dared not overstep his bounds, otherwise he feared he would suffer more losses than gains.

Runqiong nodded: "Alright, let's eat quickly."

Shen Menghan glanced at them discreetly. Although Lu Fen and Li Meili didn't say anything, their intentions were despicable, and who knew what they were thinking?

"I'll repeat myself today: if anyone breaks into my house without my permission, don't blame me for being impolite. Xiaohan is my wife. If you have any objections, keep them to yourself. My wife doesn't need anyone else's opinions."

Li Zhicheng was only thinking about his wife and had no interest in other people's affairs. As for Xiaohan, he would never forgive them if she lost even a single hair.

Shen Menghan almost facepalmed. She was just trying to be invisible and eat properly, what nonsense was he spouting?

Turning around, all eyes were fixed on her, and she felt as if they were stabbing her with knives, making her extremely uncomfortable.

"Zhicheng, shouldn't you tell us about Xiaohan's family situation?" Li Lei was quite persistent, seemingly determined to know Shen Menghan's family background.

"Dad, she's not your wife, you don't need to know too much."

cough!

Li Zhicheng's words left even his father speechless with embarrassment, so no one else dared to utter a sound.

Runqiong was quite pleased. With her grandson protecting his wife like this, her great-grandson would be coming soon!

Just as Lu Fen was about to speak, Li Meili quickly grabbed her, saying that now was not the time and she shouldn't upset her cousin.

Lu Fen glanced at her; she had grown up very quickly these past few days and matured a lot.

She'd have to ask the old woman how much money she'd given Li Guowei for his wedding. Since Zhicheng was so insistent on calling Shen Menghan her daughter-in-law, as his parent, she had to ask her for a share. Why not take the money? Who knew how much she'd get after she and Li Lei ended up breaking off all pretense of civility?

Seeing that the group had finally quieted down, Li Zhicheng began to eat quietly. If they continued to chatter, he would kick them out.

After dinner, they all lingered in his living room and wouldn't leave, so he lowered his voice and said to his grandmother, "Grandma, this is Xiaohan's and my home. Don't let them come in so easily in the future. Xiaohan and I don't like noise."

"Yes, Grandma just wanted to give you a chance to speak your minds. Grandma knows that." She also wanted to be left alone so that she could give birth to a great-grandchild sooner.

Shen Menghan wanted to go upstairs, but Lu Fen called out to her, "Menghan, let's have a good talk."

She wanted to refuse, but seeing Lu Fen's kind face, she couldn't bring herself to do so. She nodded, waiting to see what Lu Fen wanted to say.

“Look, you married into our family, Zhicheng, and I didn’t prepare anything. On Sunday, since you don’t have to work, let’s go shopping and see what you want to buy. Mom will buy it for you.”

Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious, and Shen Menghan's alarm bells rang loudly. She didn't want to guess what they were up to, but she was afraid it was something bad for her.

"I don't need anything, thank you." She looked wary, afraid that this woman would stab her in the back. Her mother and grandmother were still safe, but if they wanted to, they might find them and make trouble for them, and she didn't dare to even think about it.

"Well, I'll give you something. You are our daughter-in-law after all. If I don't show my appreciation, our relatives will think I, Lu Fen, am a wicked mother-in-law." Lu Fen still had an irresistible smile on her face. She stared intently at Shen Menghan. The woman in front of her seemed innocent and harmless, but Lu Fen was determined to get rid of her so as not to ruin her plans of many years.

"I really don't need anything, thank you." She wouldn't be bought off because she had been given something in return.

"Sister-in-law, actually, Auntie likes you a lot and wants to get along well with you. I hope you can give her a chance. She only has one son, Cousin. If Cousin doesn't like her because of this, she will be sad for the rest of her life." Li Meili added at the right time, trying to win Shen Menghan's favor at the same time.

They launched a joint offensive against her, trying to break through her defenses in order to gain her approval.

"Oh." What does her sadness have to do with her?

She was just a temporary actress.

If she were an award-winning actress, she would have easily outmaneuvered them. She's just more realistic.

"Sister-in-law, if your company is short-staffed, you can call me over temporarily. I'd be willing to work as a temporary worker." Li Meili pressed on, thinking that no one treated her well elsewhere, so she wanted to make her presence known to Shen Menghan, who seemed easy to persuade.

"We need a cleaner, would you be willing?" Shen Menghan said, glancing at Li Meili. If she dared to go, she would take her in.

Li Meili was treated the same way as Xu Jingjing, and she froze instantly, not expecting Shen Menghan to embarrass her on the spot, and so ruthlessly.

She looked to Lu Fen for help, but Lu Fen pursed her lips and said after a few seconds, "Meng Han, let Mei Li do odd jobs. If you need an assistant, it would be more suitable for her."

Undoubtedly, they were trying to put pressure on her. They had just offered her sweet words, but immediately turned around and revealed their true colors. Shen Menghan had finally seen through these people.

She immediately refused even more bluntly: "We don't need any more people."

Even if Li Zhicheng suggested hiring a secretary for her that afternoon, she wouldn't choose someone like Li Meili or Xu Jingjing, lest she invite a wolf into her house and ultimately bring disaster upon herself.
