Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Back when our family was dirt poor.

Meng Jianguo and Zhang Mei were probably eager to find an auspicious date right away.

Let Meng Chuan and Wang Ling get married first.

Meng Chuan is only eighteen? So what if he's eighteen?

These days, while it's not uncommon for rural people to get married at eighteen, it's not unheard of either.

Moreover, given their family's situation, they were already incredibly lucky to have even one girl willing to follow them.

If Meng Chuan disagrees, Meng Jianguo can tie him up and stuff him into the bridal chamber.

After all, there aren't many girls who marry before marriage and are willing to work hard without complaint; you have to hold onto them.

However, Meng Jianguo is now quite wealthy.

With the huge sum of four million yuan given by Meng Chuan.

His mindset has also changed.

My son is still young, so his studies should be the priority.

He's more afraid than happy about this daughter-in-law who seems to have fallen from the sky.

It was already afternoon when Meng Chuan got home.

Meng Jianguo was the only one at home, sitting in the living room sighing.

"Dad? Where's Mom?"

Meng Chuan asked as soon as he entered the room.

"You little rascal, you're finally back! Your mother and wife are in the fields!"

Meng Jianguo immediately started complaining when he saw Meng Chuan.

Meng Jianguo, who has spent most of his life farming, can't actually stay idle.

But now he doesn't even dare to go into the fields.

After all, what kind of situation is it for a grown man to be farming in the fields with his fiancée?

It would be bad if the villagers saw it.

Therefore, to avoid suspicion, he could only stay at home.

"What wife? Where would I get a wife?"

Meng Chuan gave a wry smile.

"Isn't it your wife, or is that other girl coming to visit?"

Meng Jianguo said irritably:

"Son, tell Dad the truth! Did you do anything to that girl?"

Meng Jianguo and Zhang Mei had not received a definite answer from Meng Chuan, and neither of them knew how to face Wang Ling.

It's not right to drive them away, nor is it right to keep them.

In Meng Jianguo's simple mind, if his son really slept with that girl, he would definitely have to take responsibility.

"What do you mean by that? She and I were classmates, and I did pursue her, but we broke off all contact a long time ago."

Meng Chuan said with a wry smile.

"Is that right?"

Meng Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, but after a moment's hesitation, he whispered:

"But son, this girl is really good. She's hardworking, dutiful, and filial. If you..."

"Stop, Dad, don't say anymore. She and I are just not compatible."

Meng Chuan hurriedly said.

It seems the two elders were deceived by Wang Ling and had no idea what kind of person she was.

He got into a car accident because of her, and she didn't even come to see him.

She could still have an ambiguous relationship with Zhao Kuan right in front of him.

She even got involved with Zhao Dazhu, a greasy, fat man who could be her father.

Now that you know you've made it big, you want to come back?

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

However, Wang Ling does have some tricks up her sleeve.

Knowing that she wouldn't pay attention to her, she turned her attention to the two elders.

"Let's go! Let's go to the fields and talk to her about it."

Meng Chuan didn't want to delay any longer.

Meng Jianguo immediately led the way for Meng Chuan.

From afar, Meng Chuan saw Wang Ling, wearing a tattered straw hat, awkwardly but diligently weeding under the sun.

The passing villagers occasionally chatted with Zhang Mei, the old woman's mother.

Mom could only look up and smile in response.

But it's not hard to tell from my mother's expression that she's experiencing both pain and joy.

"Holy crap, they really did it."

Looking at Wang Ling working so hard, Meng Chuan felt as if a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.

I couldn't help but think of the TV series "In the Name of the People" that I had watched in my dream.

The scene of Qi Tongwei weeding in the yard of Chen Yanshi's retired home.

Indeed, art imitates life.

There are still shameless and unscrupulous people in this world.

"Zhang Mei, Zhang Mei, come here."

Seeing Meng Chuan walk over, Meng Jianguo stood under the shade of a tree in the distance and called out to his wife.

Zhang Mei looked up in confusion, but when she saw her son Meng Chuan walking over, she immediately understood Meng Jianguo's intention.

He hurriedly put down the hoe in his hand and walked towards Meng Jianguo.

It's not appropriate for the two elders to be here to handle this kind of thing; let the young people deal with it themselves!

"Son, I like this girl, but you have to make the decision yourself. No matter what, you can't hurt your friendship with your classmate."

As Zhang Mei brushed past Meng Chuan, she whispered something.

Then she walked towards her husband, Meng Jianguo, without looking back.

Zhang Mei couldn't possibly be dissatisfied!

Where in the world can you find a daughter-in-law who does what Wang Ling does?

"How can you be satisfied? You should go and rest."

Meng Chuan was both amused and exasperated.

These two old people are too easily fooled.

Wang Ling also saw Meng Chuan approaching. She stood in the field, sweating profusely, waiting for him.

My whole body was already soaked in sweat.

It's clear that she really put in a lot of effort.

Moreover, there was blood on the wooden handle of the hoe.

For a high school graduate like her who had almost no experience with farm work, her palms were already blistered.

"Wang Ling, you're such a good actress! You have absolutely no morals or bottom line?"

Meng Chuan walked to the edge of the field and looked down at Wang Ling, who was standing in the field.

Meng Chuan truly admired an eighteen-year-old female student who had just graduated from high school for being able to do this.

Don't underestimate Meng Chuan just because he's from a rural area.

But he really hadn't done much farm work.

This kind of farm work is something Meng Chuan absolutely couldn't do.

“Meng Chuan, you’re back. Our parents have worked so hard, and you’ve been too busy to be home, so I thought I’d do something for them for you. I’m not tired at all.”

Wang Ling, covered in sweat, beamed with a pure and innocent smile.

It was as if they hadn't grasped the hidden meaning in Meng Chuan's words.

If Meng Chuan hadn't lived two lives and knew her past clearly, he wouldn't have been able to understand her story.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"You don't pity your own parents for the hardships they endured raising you, but instead you come to pity my parents. That's not a very clever trick."

Meng Chuan looked at Wang Ling with a cold smile.

If Meng Chuan were still eighteen years old, he might have been moved by her.

However, Meng Chuan, who is mentally 28, is like an adult watching a child lying.

Wang Ling felt uneasy watching this.

“Meng Chuan, I know I was wrong. After I was taken to the police station at the hot pot restaurant that day, I have deeply reflected on my actions and understand even more how precious and rare your love for me is.”

Wang Ling looked at Meng Chuan, and tears began to well up in her eyes:

"Meng Chuan, I promise I will love you wholeheartedly from now on. I know I was confused before, I just beg you not to be angry with me anymore, forgive me, and I will repay you by doing anything for you from now on."

At this moment, Wang Ling's emotions were so sincere and touching that they were truly moving.

Any man would soften at this moment when facing Wang Ling.

But Meng Chuan felt incredibly disgusted.

"What I get in return for working like a slave isn't love, it's a transaction. I don't need you to repay me."

Meng Chuan said coldly:

"To me, one act of infidelity means forever. Do you really think you can keep me by winning over my parents? Do you think you can get the whole village's approval and enter my home?"

Meng Chuan said without any mercy:

"Don't be naive. If you leave now, we can still preserve our friendship. If you insist on causing trouble and disturbing my parents' lives, I don't mind exposing your dirty affair with Zhao Dazhu to the public."

“Meng Chuan, Zhao Dazhu and I are not what you think. I was forced. I am a girl and I cannot resist. But my body is innocent. I deliberately provoked you at the hot pot restaurant, hoping that you would come to my rescue.”

Wang Ling said urgently.

"Oh? So, your relationship with Zhao Kuan was also forced upon you?"

Meng Chuan asked with a cold smile.

"Zhao Kuan is Zhao Dazhu's son. I was a guest at Zhao Kuan's house a while ago, and that's when that devil Zhao Dazhu took a liking to me..."

"Holy crap, you've got a father-son feud. Wang Ling, you've really blown my mind."

Meng Chuan was completely defeated.

He really wanted to slap himself a few times.

How could I have been so blind to fall for such a thing?

"Meng Chuan, let me explain..."

Wang Ling still wanted to argue.

"Don't explain, even novels wouldn't dare write something like this. Just leave now, don't force me to call the police."

Meng Chuan lost all interest in wasting time chatting with Wang Ling.

Even breathing the same air made Meng Chuan feel nauseous.

He turned around and went straight home.

“I have to endure it. He’s a billionaire now. If I can get his forgiveness, I can rise to the top and become a rich lady.”

Wang Ling repeated it to herself over and over again.

She didn't chase after Meng Chuan, but resolutely turned around and continued weeding.
