After my divorce, I became a lucky super-rich person.

Chapter 95: Too Ruthless

Chapter 97: Too Ruthless

Chen Jiang's task was naturally to help Shen Meiyu pretend to be her boyfriend.

He originally thought he would have to wait at least two days before he could use his services, but to his surprise, Shen Meiyu sent him a bunch of messages early the next morning.

When Chen Jiang opened his phone, he found that in addition to Shen Meiyu's own situation, she had also sent him a general overview of her family's situation.

For example, simple family information, the identities of relatives who might appear at a family dinner, the names, ages, hobbies, etc. It doesn't seem like an introduction to one's own family situation, but rather like a background check.

Chen Jiang was speechless after seeing this and replied with a message: "What's the point of sending all this stuff?"

Shen Meiyu replied, "Of course I want you to see it. You're my boyfriend now, how could you not know me?"

"To be honest, my family members are all incredibly perceptive, and one of them is an expert in interrogation techniques. They've also studied some psychology. If you don't perform well, they'll expose your identity in no time!"

"Well... if you didn't know better, you'd think I was in an interrogation room!" Chen Jiang sighed, but he wasn't satisfied with her information either: "Even so, there's something wrong with the information you gave me."

"Something's not right?"

Shen Meiyu glanced at the information she had sent and felt it was quite detailed. She had sent information about her entire family of more than ten people. How much more detailed could it be? She couldn't very well give him his ID card, bank card password, and other personal details as well.

Chen Jiang was utterly speechless: "I meant your detailed situation, sister... Besides telling me about your work personality, you didn't give me any detailed information about yourself."

"I'm just pretending to be your boyfriend. I only need to know your situation. I don't need to know what your uncles and aunts do for a living... Besides, you said they are all very smart and very vigilant."

"If I go to your house and tell you all about your relatives, are you sure they won't think I'm a bad guy and arrest me?"

"this..

""

Shen Meiyu slapped her forehead, finally realizing, "That's right... I was going in the wrong direction!"

Seeing her expression, Chen Jiang shook his head slightly and said, "Alright, it's not as difficult as you think. I'll just temporarily act as your boyfriend. It's normal that we don't know each other very well since we've only been dating for a short time."

"Just explain your situation clearly, and I'll have a general idea."

Shen Meiyu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then... what else do you want to know about me?"

Chen Jiang replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's some of your habits... your more private hobbies... or things like 3D, what you like to eat and what you don't like to eat."

"As a boyfriend, it's normal not to know about your family, but if he doesn't even know what you like or dislike, then he's really unqualified!"

"Aren't you right?"

"That makes a lot of sense..." Shen Meiyu nodded subconsciously in agreement with Chen Jiang's words, but then blushed a little, mainly because these things were indeed a bit private: "The things I usually like... are shooting, riding a bike... or other sports, I like them all."

"I like a lot of foods, but I especially love fruit... My favorite fruit is oranges."

"As for my private hobbies..." Shen Meiyu hesitated for a moment, but still felt embarrassed to say, "Let's not talk about them, since my mom and the others don't know anyway."

Upon hearing this and seeing Shen Meiyu's embarrassed expression, Chen Jiang knew that there must be something she was ashamed of, otherwise she wouldn't be blushing so much. He immediately laughed and said, "Alright, if you don't want to say, then forget it."

"But you can't talk about your private hobbies, so you have to tell me about something more obvious like 3D, right? You're not telling your family that we're in a platonic relationship, are you?"

Shen Meiyu rolled her eyes immediately: "Why do I feel like you're the one who wants to know?"

Chen Jiang shrugged: "What, as her boyfriend, am I not allowed to know even this little thing?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Meiyu sighed. Compared to her embarrassing personal hobby, a set of 3D measurements was indeed insignificant. She simply stated, "My measurements are 88, 62, 95..."

'

It's roughly like the picture below.

"oh??"

Chen Jiang's eyes lit up as he looked at Shen Meiyu in the video on his phone, his gaze filled with inquiry: "You look ordinary, but I didn't expect you to be so talented."

"Mind your own business!"

Shen Meiyu felt a little uncomfortable under Chen Jiang's aggressive gaze. She instinctively covered her chest with her hand and said irritably, "I treat you like a buddy, don't try to take advantage of me!"

"Since you've already called me 'bro,' what else can I say!"

Chen Jiang looked away and quickly patted his chest to assure her, "Don't worry, since you've asked me for help, I'll make sure to arrange everything perfectly for your aunt and uncle, so they'll accept me and you'll be determined to marry no one else!"

"No need for that~~"

Shen Meiyu rolled her eyes: "I still want to find a partner in the future... Alright, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and pack your things, then we'll meet up and see if there's anything we can compare."

"If you don't have any suitable clothes, let's hurry up and buy some, and also get you some gifts for our visit, otherwise my mom will definitely nag you!"

"Oh right, we also need to rent a car. Your car has too many flaws."

Chen Jiang quickly said, "I have suitable clothes, and I've already changed the car, so it shouldn't embarrass you now... so buying some gifts will suffice."

"Let's talk when we meet."

"Great! It's only been a short time since we last met, and you've not only got a girlfriend but also changed your car, right?" Shen Meiyu said with a smile. "Then let's get going. I'll send you my address, and you can come pick me up."

"I'd better hurry and put on some makeup too... Come to think of it, it's been ages since I've done a proper makeup session..."

""

Chen Jiang smiled and didn't say anything more. He hung up the phone and casually tossed it aside.

He found the custom-made cashmere suit, put on the watch Gao Wen had given him, and looked in the mirror. A mature and handsome man appeared in the mirror.

While not perfect, he should generally meet the expectations of mothers-in-law for their sons-in-law.

Nodding in satisfaction, Chen Jiang picked up the keys to the Aston Martin that hadn't been driven for a while and went downstairs to head towards the location Shen Meiyu had given him.

On the other side, Shen Meiyu also quickly finished her makeup.

She's been a tomboy since she was little, so she's not really good at makeup. But luckily, she has a good foundation and her face doesn't take makeup too much, so she just applied a simple concealer and whitening cream, drew some eyeliner, and put on a little lipstick.

His face immediately brightened up.

But after finishing her makeup, she struggled with what to wear. She felt that since she was going to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend with Chen Jiang, they should at least look well-matched, even if they didn't wear matching outfits.

Otherwise, if Chen Jiang were dressed in a suit and tie while she was just wearing some ordinary clothes, they wouldn't look like a couple at all.

She just forgot to ask Chen Jiang, and now she doesn't really want to keep calling to ask.

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to just throw on something. I figured I was going to the mall to buy things later anyway, and I could just buy a different outfit then, instead of spending ages choosing something that didn't fit.

After finishing my makeup and getting dressed, I glanced at the time and felt it should be about time.

Shen Meiyu didn't have the habit of keeping people waiting, so she went downstairs by herself and stood by the roadside at the entrance of the residential area to wait for O.

While waiting, I suddenly lost my focus... Thinking about my own situation, I suddenly felt a little sad... Logically speaking, with her qualities, even if she wasn't the kind of universally loved school beauty goddess, she shouldn't have been single since birth.

However, she couldn't resist the influence of her family from a young age. When she was one year old, she immediately set her sights on her father's gun during the lottery. Sure enough, when she was three years old, she became extremely fond of playing with knives and guns.

From a young age, she practiced Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) and free fighting with her father, which made her a fearsome female tyrant in kindergarten.

She was a tough girl throughout elementary and middle school. When she finally got a boyfriend in high school, she was determined to become a police officer and studied like crazy, so the relationship didn't work out.

After graduating from university, she entered the Public Security University, where the management was strict and the competition was fierce, so she still had no interest in it.

After finally graduating, her family started opposing her becoming a police officer... Although they couldn't stop her in the end, before she had even served two years as a junior officer, her father was suddenly promoted and happened to become her superior's superior...

Although there are no explicit regulations in China that prohibit immediate family members from working in the same organization, when both parties are immediate family members and are in a superior position, they will be subject to quite strict inspection and supervision.

Although it wasn't entirely unavoidable—for example, by transferring her to another unit or even changing her career altogether—Shen Meiyu herself chose to give up on that option, opting to resign in order to avoid affecting her father.

Two years as a traffic police officer had left her somewhat physically and mentally exhausted. She realized that although she liked the job, she might not be suited for it.

However, it may be because of her resignation and the fact that she is getting older that her mother started urging her to get married, hoping to take advantage of this period of inactivity to settle down.

But she discovered that she was actually living a pretty unsuccessful life.

The goal I've been striving for since childhood turns out to be unsuitable for me. I've spent so much time and energy on it, only to simply leave in the end, which has resulted in me not being able to find many friends my own age now.

Now she even has to find someone to pretend to be her boyfriend; her life is really quite pitiful.

And inevitably, I feel lost about what I should do in the future... I can't just find any man to marry and become a housewife, can I?

Beep beep!!

Suddenly, while Shen Meiyu was still lost in thought, two short car horns snapped her out of her daze, and she instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.

She then saw a beautifully designed car, but she didn't recognize the brand, which had stopped next to her at some point.

The car window on her side slowly rolled down, revealing Chen Jiang's face. He was looking at her with a smile. When he saw that she had finally noticed him, he asked, "What are you standing there for? You weren't moving at all. I drove right up to you and you didn't even notice."

"Why are you so afraid of this family banquet today?"

Shen Meiyu sighed, walked to the passenger door, opened it, and got in. "I'm not scared, I'm just a little sad right now... Never mind, what's the use of telling you? Just drive ahead. There's a large supermarket about a kilometer ahead, we can go there to buy things."

"Fine, don't tell me then..." Chen Jiang glanced at her, "But seriously, your outfit is way too casual. I specially wore a formal suit, and you just dressed like this?"

"Although you are very beautiful, this is just too shoddy."

"Even if we don't mention long dresses, black stockings, and high heels, it still has to be acceptable."

Although she was happy to be complimented on her looks, Shen Meiyu still rolled her eyes: "I was planning to buy another outfit at the mall... I really don't have any suitable clothes at home, mostly sportswear or jeans. I don't usually wear black stockings or anything like that, so I don't have any to wear anyway."

"Let's talk about it when we get to the mall. I'll buy whatever suits me."

"I've brought my entire year's salary savings for this game, so it shouldn't be too much for me, right?"

It's hard to say... Chen Jiang shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything more. He stepped on the gas and gradually accelerated, heading towards the shopping mall she had mentioned...

Upon arriving at the mall, the two got out of the car separately, intending to first browse the gift section.

Chen Jiang asked Shen Meiyu, "Does your dad like to drink? Does he smoke? What brands does he like?"

Shen Meiyu nodded: "He likes both. When he was working at the grassroots level, he often stayed up late to handle cases, so he inevitably smoked to stay awake. However, since he was diagnosed with a lung problem a few years ago, he hasn't smoked much, although he hasn't completely quit."

"He usually only drinks at home... I'm thinking of buying him a bottle of Moutai. I don't know much about liquor, but I've heard of it; it's supposed to be the national liquor, right?"

I guess so...

'

Chen Jiang nodded.

Shen Meiyu's father enjoys drinking, and giving Moutai as a gift is standard practice. It might not be exactly what he wants, but it certainly won't leave anyone dissatisfied. This stuff has strong social currency attributes, which is indeed quite suitable for what to give when a son-in-law visits for the first time.

The problem is that this wine is limited to two bottles per person per day, but fortunately, things that can be solved with money are not problems.

Chen Jiang asked the counter staff and learned that it was possible to circumvent the purchase limit, but the price would increase to an additional 2,400 yuan per bottle...

...It's a bit pricey, but still acceptable.

"Alright, then I'll send you Moutai. Two cases to start!"

"Huh...what is that?"

Startled, Shen Meiyu blurted out in her Northeastern accent and quickly grabbed Chen Jiang, saying fearfully, "Are you trying to kill me? This stuff costs several thousand yuan a bottle, and you want two cases right off the bat?"

"My annual salary isn't even enough!"

"Look at how stingy you are..." Chen Jiang rolled his eyes and pulled her hand away. "I didn't say you had to pay... I'm just being a son-in-law and showing respect to my father-in-law, so I'll pay!"

"That's even worse, it's way too expensive!" Shen Meiyu couldn't accept it anymore.

"It's not expensive, just a little money... Besides, even if I didn't pretend to be your boyfriend, it's normal for a friend to visit your uncle and bring him a gift. Just don't talk nonsense."

Chen Jiang was too lazy to waste words with her and simply asked the staff at the counter to pack his things and deliver them to his car later.
