After Being an Improper Control Group as an Abandoned Wealthy Wife, She Effortlessly Came Out on Top Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Video Call

Out of curiosity, Meng Chuyuan stepped forward to take a look.

The thing was placed next to the pen holder, with a pile of documents stacked high around it. If Meng Chuyuan hadn't just walked over to look at the floor-to-ceiling window, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

It was an old retro pocket watch. Its appearance had lost its luster. It seemed to have been around for some time. It seemed out of place on this desk, so it caught Meng Chuyuan's eye.

She had never seen such an old thing, so she picked it up carefully and looked at it. She gently pushed the cover open, but she didn't expect that the second hand inside was actually moving.

“What are you looking at?” Just then Mother Lu came over.

Seeing Meng Chuyuan holding Lu Qingye's pocket watch, Lu's mother's expression suddenly became a little sad.

She took the pocket watch from Meng Chuyuan's hand, her eyes slightly reddened, and she sighed and said, "This is a relic of Aye's grandfather."

She is an unfit mother.

　　This husband is busy working outside every day, and she feels tired looking after the children at home. Unable to rest, she often takes Lu Qingye back to her parents' house to visit. Every time she goes back, she always complains to her father about the hardships of married life.

Father Lin asked her to find something to do instead of acting like a resentful woman every day, and he was willing to take care of her children.

So Lu Qingye was basically raised by his grandfather when he was a child. Not only was he smart, he was also more sensible than other children of the same age. His grandfather taught him many things in private.

“My father died of cancer the year I gave birth to my third child. During the period of my postpartum depression, it was Aye who took care of me and his younger siblings..."

As Mother Lu was talking, she suddenly smiled bitterly, "He was not even ten years old at that time."

Lu Qingye was still a child at that time. He knew that his grandfather was gone. He was sadder than anyone else at that time, but in front of his mother, he was so sensible and heart-warming.

Every day he has to put his younger brother to sleep and comfort his newborn sister. When he sees his mother crying secretly alone, he will go over and wipe her tears.

Mother Lu: "My dad said that I shouldn't be like a resentful woman, do whatever I want, and live a happy life."

So she still maintains the state of a girl now, as she did when she was young, eating, drinking and having a lot of fun.

As for the role of mother, it is probably her biggest failure in life.

"Mom, I very much agree with what grandpa said, to live a happy life." Meng Chuyuan put his hand on Mother Lu's shoulder and comforted: "But we can't always dwell on the past, advancing with the times is our life. That's the way.”

“Advancing with the times?”

"Yeah, you can't just live like this, right? Go do something meaningful, and you will find the value of your life."

Mother Lu has been playing for most of her life. Now that her children have grown up, she is almost at the age to enjoy a happy life. Although she cannot get back her lost youth, she can still live a fulfilling life in the remaining days.

Meng Chuyuan read the monthly report for the entire morning on behalf of Lu Qingye, while the secretary explained the corresponding data to her attentively.

Mother Lu chose to display it because she couldn't understand it. She started to feel sleepy staring at the data in the table.

“Mom?” Meng Chuyuan called her several times before she came back to her senses.

Mother Lu squinted her eyes and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

“Do you understand what Secretary Zheng said just now?”

Hearing about work-related matters, Mother Lu asked in confusion: "What did he just say?"

She really wasn't listening.

Meng Chuyuan feels that some things cannot be forced and must be allowed to take their own course.

She and Lu's mother were both on their first day at work, so they had to get used to it.

But Meng Chuyuan already understood it, and she could basically understand the data on the report, and she probably knew the company's business performance last month.

She was busy until noon, and Mother Lu was already hungry. She picked up her mobile phone and ordered takeout, and also ordered one for Meng Chuyuan.

After the takeaway arrived, Secretary Zheng left the office temporarily and let them eat in peace.

Mother Lu opened the takeout and took one for herself. She opened the lunch box and took a mouthful of rice with her chopsticks, and said vaguely: "When will we go back?"

“Mom, we haven't stayed long. It's not appropriate to go back now. Please don't worry, okay?”

“It's so boring here.” In these few short hours, it seemed like a century had passed.

Mother Lu thought for a while and said, "How about I go back later and you stay here?"

She doesn't know anything anyway, so there's no use staying here.

Mother Lu looked at Meng Chuyuan with expectant eyes, hoping that she would agree to her request.

Meng Chuyuan showed a helpless expression, and she said lightly: "If you want to go back, then go back."

Mother Lu smiled happily: "Then I'll leave it to you. I'll go back and catch up on my sleep."

After the lunch break, Secretary Zheng returned to the office again and found that Meng Chuyuan was the only one in the room.

Secretary Zheng: "Madam, Mr. Lu asked me to tell you that we will have a meeting in the conference room in half an hour."

Meng Chuyuan didn't understand: “Should I open it?”

She didn't understand anything when she first arrived, and she didn't even recognize the representatives of some departments, so she just let the meeting go?

Secretary Zheng probably noticed her confusion and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu will be connected via video in a moment. You just need to be there."

“So that's how it is.”

Originally, Lu Qingye's original intention was to have his mother and Meng Chuyuan go to the conference room together, and organize a small meeting for the heads of various departments to introduce their identities to everyone and actively cooperate with the rest of the work.

Who would have thought that Mother Lu would run away early after lunch, leaving Meng Chuyuan here to clean up the mess.

Half an hour later, Secretary Zheng reminded Meng Chuyuan to go to the meeting: "Madam, it's time for the meeting."

"Okay." Meng Chuyuan put down the documents in his hand and followed him to the conference room.

I heard that Meng Chuyuan would participate in this meeting, and the employees who came to the meeting were very energetic, mostly hoping to leave a good impression on the boss's wife.

At this time, Meng Chuyuan was rushing here. Everyone immediately fell silent when they saw her figure.

She was wearing a small white suit today, with a low ponytail, her skin was as white as a porcelain doll, and the light makeup on her face made her deer eyes even more bright and attractive.

The moment Meng Chuyuan walked in from the door, everyone's attention was attracted to her.

She looks fair, thin, and young. She actually looks a bit like a strong professional woman in that little suit.

After Meng Chuyuan came in, he greeted politely: "Good afternoon, everyone."

Seeing how enthusiastic Meng Chuyuan was, everyone responded in unison: "Hello, Mrs. Lu."

Secretary Zheng thoughtfully pulled out a chair for Meng Chuyuan, and when she sat down with everyone, the meeting officially began.

Lu Qingye was holding on for time, waiting for Secretary Zheng to send a message that everyone had arrived. His video call popped up on the public screen after a while.
