You're over 20 years old and all you do is waste time sitting around being a parasite. Your father and I are completely embarrassed because of you. Mom, I’m not even using your credit card. Besides, it’s not like I’m starving to death. My brother's monthly sports car maintenance could pay for my takeout for an entire year. You still have the nerve to mention your brother? Your brother is out socializing and meeting partners, while you just rot at home waiting to wither away. I am ashamed for you. Just thinking about it is humiliating, stop arguing with her. From today on, the Shen family will not support a good-for-nothing. Are you going to get out of here right now? I don’t give a damn about anything. If I step back into this house—fine, I’m leaving, don't you guys...Why be so angry? Don't come begging me to come back later. If you starve to death out there, good for you. What happened today? I heard you were kicked out of the house. Finally decided to stop being a burden to your parents, right? You dare to laugh at my pain. Do it right now. Right now I only have enough for a proper meal, don't say I have no loyalty. My uncle is Bo Yanzhou of the Bo Group, and he’s currently looking for a wife with a high salary. Who cares about wealthy family rules? If you won’t go, then I’ll go be the parasite, it includes room and board. A monthly salary of 100,000, full social insurance and housing fund, plus a 100,000 year-end bonus. Send me the address immediately, right now! No, I need to find a clothing store to change into something else first. Hello, Mr. Bo. I'm here to interview for the position of chairman's wife, but I have to ask first: is there a pay cut during the probation period? No probation, you are hired officially right away. Bring your household registration book tomorrow morning to meet me. Meet me at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9:00 to get the marriage certificate. Don't you think this process is a bit too rushed for such a major life event? Well, Mr. Bo, I’m someone who only talks business. When will you pay the fixed salary of 100,000 yuan? It must be on the first of every month, no delays allowed. Do I get weekends off? If I have to meet your elders on holidays, will that be counted as triple overtime pay? Also, does this position require providing emotional support? Like morning and night greetings, loving hugs and kisses every day, or doting wife-style care? I don’t need an actress. Your only responsibility is to cooperate with me when necessary, play the role of Mrs. Bo, and help me block trouble. As long as you don’t cause the Bo family to lose face, I will never interfere in your private life. Does that mean I don’t need to fulfill marital obligations, right? You're overthinking it. I’m not starving to the point of eating just anything. So it turns out you aren't a picky eater. That’s good, that’s good. Final question. If you meet the love of your life later and need me to step aside, will the contract severance be monthly or a one-time lump sum payment? In the Bo Corporation's dictionary, there is no such word as " resignation," only "dismissal." Do you understand, boss? Alright, rest assured , as long as the money is handled fairly, I will be your firmest shield. Okay, boss, I'll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9:00 AM tomorrow. I definitely won’t be late. Young Master Bo, have you truly decided to choose Miss Shen? It seems she only sees this marriage as a job. I have waited for this day for six years, and I have never intended to choose anyone else. Hmm. Congratulations on your marriage. This is legal, right? Waving his hand, he gave 1 million. This is just a little pocket money, feel free to spend it as you please. Boss, rest assured, this money will be spent wisely and will definitely not tarnish the reputation of Mrs. Bo. Now I am a salaried employee with a 1 million dollar allowance. I will take care of you, boss, from now on. Do you have any instructions now, boss? Pack your bags tonight and move to the hillside villa. Mrs. Bo, it’s time to take up your post. Mr. Bac, if the lady considers this a job, should we add a term limit to that secret contract? Assistant Lin, have you ever seen me lose in a business deal? What I want has never been just one year. Oh my, if this lamp breaks, a million dollars wouldn't even cover these glass panels. Madam, Mr. Bac has an online meeting tonight, so he will be home late. Dinner is already prepared in the kitchen. Would you like to dine now or wait for Mr. Bac? Hurry up and serve the food, I'm starving to death. Flower. I didn't expect the Bac family's food to be this simple. I thought you all ate white truffles and caviar every single day. Madam, you're joking. This was specifically requested by the boss. *Cough, cough. *He specifically told the kitchen to make simple, quick dishes since he didn't know the new employee's taste. The boss is right. Boss, the standard for employees here is just amazing. After this meal, I'm ready to work overtime for you tomorrow. No complaints at all. Huh? What are you looking at? Looking so closely, it turns out there really is a "white moonlight" here. Ngon Chau is usually very clean, why is there the smell of cheap fast food in the house all of a sudden? What's going on? Who are you looking for? Hello, Madam. I am Tran Man Vien. You are the woman Ngon Chau randomly brought home to deal with his elders, aren't you? Dressed in such cheap clothes and daring to sit on the Bac family's sofa, you really have no shame. Know your place. The Bac family is not a place just anyone can enter. Everyone in our circle knows that only I am a match for Ngon Chau. What good does it do for your circle to know that ? Does the Civil Affairs Bureau know about this, I wonder? What are you implying? I am the one holding the legal marriage certificate with Bac Ngon Chau. Compared to your empty reputation in the circle, he only has this red marriage book. That's impossible. How could Ngon Chau possibly register a marriage with you? You must be acting. What are you doing here today? If you break it, you have to pay for it. You're just an outsider, what right do you have to demand an inspection? Our marriage certificate. Who do you think you are, acting like the lady of this house? Wait until Yan comes back, I'll see who he protects. Since when is my wife someone you can lecture? Ms. Chen, who gave you the nerve? Daring to yell at my wife on my turf here in Yanzhou. What did you call her? Yanzhou, aren't our two families old acquaintances? I was just worried you were being deceived by a mediocre woman. She's not worthy at all. So whether she is worthy of me or not is for me to decide. Chen Si is the lady of this house. What you just said has crossed the line. Apologize to her. You want me to apologize to her? I don't like to repeat myself. Or should I personally call Chairman Chen to ask how the Chen family upbringing works? I'm sorry. Don't get too smug. Boss, your moves just now were amazing. When you protected someone, you looked so cool. Don't worry, based on your performance today, I'll definitely give you full marks for being a husband this month. Evaluating husband performance, huh? Mrs. Bai, tell me, what are the criteria for a perfect score? It's that the boss must be a truly good person, emotionally stable, and able to protect his own. So, for now, I can only say the boss is a very good person. Mr. Bai , Mrs. Bai. There are two people outside claiming to be Mrs. Bai's parents, saying they want to see you. My lady, oh my dear daughter, I've missed you to death. You kept it well hidden. Getting married without saying a word to the family. Just a few days ago, you had me thrown out on the street with a suitcase. Have you seen a ghost or something? Si Si, why are you talking to your mother like that? That was just talk in the heat of the moment . Now that you've married President Bai , the Chen family and the Bai family are now in-laws. That's right, that's right, Si Si. My brother wants a pre-paid house for his wedding and a management position at the Bo Group. That amount of money is nothing to you, right? You just need to say a word to CEO Bo and it'll be done. Mrs. Liu Mei, buying a house and arranging a manager position, too? Are you still not awake yet? Did you raise me just to be a blood-sucking tool for your son? Chen Si, you really are an ungrateful wretch . We gave birth to you and raised you up until now. Now that you've become a phoenix, what's wrong with helping your brother a little? From childhood until now, who really raised me? I even earned my own tuition fees by working part-time. Don't even dream of getting anything. Not a single cent from me for you two. Get out of here right now. You unfilial daughter. Do you want to make us angry to death, huh? Today I'm going to beat you to death. Mrs. Chen, Mr. Chen. You dare touch my person on my own territory? Do you think I, Bo Yanzhou, am someone you can easily push around? My wife is not a commodity for you to trade for houses or jobs. Butler , show them out; there will not be a next time. Without my permission. The Chen family is not allowed to step foot in here ever again. CEO Bo, what do you mean by this? We are Xi Xi's biological parents. Do you not understand the rules? If Mr. Chen keeps lingering here , the Chen family's finances might run into some trouble. Are you hungry yet? The hot pot from earlier is cold; eat a little more with me. Of course I'm hungry. Scolding others takes a lot of energy, after all. Eat up, my lady, don't let yourself get hungry. Here. I folded this for you. What is this? Thank you for standing up for me earlier and sending those people away, so I decided to give you a performance bonus. As your employee, this is also a recognition of your professional competence as a boss. A cash bonus, huh ? I don't need money. Then what do you want? I want a different kind of reward . Mrs. Bo, what are you planning to reward me with? Boss? Calm down, I think bonuses or some words of encouragement would be better. So, let me treat you to a meal tomorrow. No need, no need, I already have plans. I'll just grab something nearby. You're so busy, don't waste your time on me. Hmph. Tran Tay, you've already promised me. I have to get ready for tomorrow. I absolutely cannot let that devil catch me. Where have you been to be so happy? Boss, why did you get off work so early today? Didn't you have a social engagement? The engagement has been called off. I am asking where you went and who you met this afternoon. I was just out shopping. I picked up a few outfits along the way. After all, it's for your reputation, Boss. I went shopping all by myself. I heard that this afternoon, the lady was so busy chatting with someone that she didn't even want to come home. Is that what you mean, Boss? Oh, that was just a coincidence. I just ran into a senior from college. Back in university, he treated me to a cup of coffee. He even fed me a piece of cake right to my mouth. It even went that far, huh? Boss , isn't this crossing the line a bit? Our contract clearly states that we won't interfere in each other's private lives. If the media catches you getting cozy with another man, who is going to step up to handle the PR crisis? What are you talking about? There's nothing going on! We are just old classmates who happened to run into each other. He is a very gentle and thoughtful person. He knows how to keep his distance and would never pry into other people's business. Gentle and thoughtful, you say? Tran Tay, are you blind? My judgment of people is just that bad. He is just an incredibly normal senior. So what if he's nice to me? A normal senior, huh? Does a normal senior stare at you without even blinking like that? Does a normal senior like you for so many years like that? How do you know he likes me? Boss, I seriously reflected on myself last night just as you told me to. This is the performance review report I stayed up all night to finish. Please review the details of daily expenses and the progress of maintaining relationships with the wives 'circle. What exactly is going on in your head all day long? You're not thinking about how to do this job well, are you? You were right last night, Boss. As Lady Bo, I must pay attention to my image. I have reviewed my entire recent schedule. Flip to page 3. The second to last paragraph, that meeting with my senior had nothing to do with work and offered no benefits. I didn't use company funds and kept a safe distance of at least 0.5 meters. Chen Ci, are you writing this reflection just to coax me? I promise to proactively report in the future and ask for your permission. Are you truly clueless or just pretending to be? Is my concern really about you not reporting to me? Then what are you worried about? Are you afraid? Didn't I pay for his meal? What I care about is that you are getting too close to another man. Xu Jiangning, any man would understand that look in your eyes . But we only have a master-servant relationship, Boss. This isn't written in the contract. Chen Ci, if I want to manage you, it's not your work I'm managing, but you yourself. Looking at how handsome you are, this aura, this look, is worth adding a zero or two. It’s not good to ask the Grim Reaper for an advance on my salary just after starting, is it? I need to find some side jobs; it would be a waste not to use such high-quality resources. Exclusive high-end male companion, 1.8 m tall, cold and celibate aura, essential for major parties, accepting quotes now. If you are serious about buying, please DM me with your price so I can place the order. 30,000. Big trouble. Boss, you're done for. You're being overly attentive again. There we go, bringing trouble upon myself again. I came here to report to you, Boss. There is a very important dinner party tomorrow evening. Why didn't anyone tell me about this? Those are my family's elders. As for the elders, they keep asking to see you, sir. Fine, I'll set aside two hours tomorrow night to go with you. Sir, you really are so generous. You're the best! Tomorrow, just dress up handsomely, and leave the rest to me. Mrs. Bac is back from the party. Big Boss, you did an amazing job tonight. Mrs. Vuong was singing your praises to the high heavens. Then come here and explain to me what this so-called "appearance fee" for a high-end male escort is. Sir, I was wrong. I shouldn't have exploited your commercial value without permission. But it was all for the sake of our family. So you put me up for sale online. Did all the money go straight into your pocket? We can split it 50/50 , or if you need to, 30/70 is fine too. You take 70%and I take 30%, but it can't be any less than that. After all, I'm the one managing and handling customer service. Tran Tu, are you that obsessed with money? In your eyes, am I just a toy for rent so you can trade me for a worn-out bag? Sir, in my heart, you're priceless. Isn't it because that wealthy lady offered such a great price ? Besides, you didn't expose me tonight , did you? And you even cooperated perfectly to keep the elders happy! If I hadn't cooperated, should I have told everyone that the wife of the Bac Group chairman is so poor she has to rent out her husband by the hour? Do you have any sense of shame left? Huh? Mrs. Bac? Just how many more women do you plan to sell me to?*Cough cough cough*Sir, Madam, the official invitation for the city-wide elite charity gala will be delivered to the Bac Group by 7 PM tomorrow. The Bac Group is the organizer for this year's gala. The organizers require that both of you attend together. Understood? Formal attire is mandatory tomorrow night. Mrs. Bac. Oh, I understand. Yes. Charity gala organizing committee. This time it's finally done. I don't even know which hand holds the knife and which holds the fork. Ah! Hmm. Everyone, please give Mrs. Bac a round of applause as she shares the Bac Group's charity philosophy with us. So many business titans are watching. Don't embarrass the Bac family, don't worry, you might lack other things. But you've got thick enough skin. Hello everyone, I am Tham Tu. Ms. Tran just asked me to share our charity philosophy. Honestly, I don't really understand those big, fancy words. Anyway, everyone already knows my biggest dream before was just to idle away my life in luxury. My husband , Bac, is usually a man of few words, but he always follows through, so today I am announcing on his behalf that Bac Group will lead the way by donating an additional 5 million to tonight's children's lunch program. If any of our distinguished guests here donate less than us, it would be quite embarrassing . Right? You were just lucky earlier, but a crow will always be a crow; it can't turn into a phoenix. Name your price, take this money, and leave Bac Ngon Chau. Ten, hundred, thousand, five million. Are you trying to bribe me to leave? Mrs. Bac, my fixed monthly salary for this position alone is already 100,000. Isn't this buyout fee a bit stingy? You think it's too little ? 5 million is enough for someone like you to spend for a lifetime. Do you really think Ngon Chau will keep you by his side forever? Once he gets bored of you, you won't get a single penny. You're right, the workplace is like a battlefield, I really need to think about my future. Boss, someone is planning a hostile takeover. Your key staff member is Ms. Tran, for the price of 5 million. The cash flow of the Bac Group is not yet exhausted, it is not the place of outsiders to set a price for a member of the Bac family. The position of Mrs. Bac will never be yielded to anyone else. If anyone intends to bother my wife with these despicable tactics, they are going against the entire Bac Group. Hmm, I'm sorry. I should have taken the check first before telling you about that 5 million. Even if you dig it up for me, you still have to give me my share, right? Didn't you once say you'd take the money and run? Does that mean your worth is only five million? You can take the money without running away; the money is still yours, and I'm still yours. That way it's a win-win, and you're still you. Understand? Huh? It means I won't betray you. If she gives me 100 million tonight instead of 5 million, I'll invest 50 million in some project, put 30 million in a fixed savings account, and give you the remaining 20 million as an information fee. So you should just take it first. Why wouldn't I take it? Besides, this is just between the two of us, no one else. You don't need the money. If I take it, it's mine. So, if I don't let you go. Boss, I have a lunch appointment tomorrow. Eating steak. You're not busy with anything. Right? You're not busy, are you? Then I'm leaving. Wait. Actually, I've always wanted to tell you this. Ever since we were in college. Former boss, why are you here? It's just that you haven't heard people say I'm too broad-minded. Are you here reminiscing with someone else again, President Xu? Tu Tu and I are just old classmates having a normal meal, aren't you making a scene over nothing? You're controlling her freedom too much. What? Since you called her Tu , you should know her current identity is Mrs. Bo, Shen Tu. Are you done eating? If you're finished, let's go home. Senior, I'm sorry, let's stop here for today. Hey Bo Yanzhou, what are you angry about? I'm angry that I met you too late. He took four years of your college memories. I'm not angry at you at all. If you're not angry at me, then who are you acting superior toward ? What are you going to do about the 100 million you owe me? The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Bo Yanzhou, but the agreement clearly states that we won't interfere in each other's lives. I was just going out for a meal. Why did you rush in here like you're catching an affair? Did I scare you? Shen Ci, do you really need him to explain everything to you? Only now do I know what "avoiding" really means. What suspicious thing? He is my senior, he helped me when I was at my poorest and lowest. Do you not know what basic social etiquette is? Where is your dignity as a husband? Husband, you say? Bo Yanzhou, stop acting so hard, you are just my boss. This is just a job. Go ahead and deduct my pay, I don't even want today's salary anymore. I'm going to a hotel to cool off, stop right there. It's so late, where else do you want to go? Stop meddling in other people's business, let go. I'm sorry, I crossed the line. What did I do to make you this angry? Compensation for emotional distress. Fine, since the boss is so generous, I'll reluctantly accept this money. Butler. Chen, call Doctor Chen here immediately, hurry up. Yes, sir. Out. Bo, the 9:00 AM appointment has been canceled, and cancel my entire schedule for tomorrow, even if the sky falls, don't bother me. Di Zhen, come in here, change the lady into dry pajamas, and bring in a basin of warm water. Oh, wow. Boss! Why are you doing a nurse's job in the middle of the night? Does this count as overstepping, Boss? Will I be reimbursed for the medicine costs? You're this sick and still thinking about the books? Open your mouth. Bo Yanzhou, what's wrong? Are you...still feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Why are you so good to me? You treat me even better than my own parents. From now on, I will always treat you this well. Boss, to thank you for saving my life. Your employee is here to bring you some warmth. Huh, is the boss not here? Hehe, this is really perfect timing. Just finished and it's ready right away. Boss, I don't even know who sent this. Hmm, what is this? Isn't this from my sophomore year when I was working part-time? How did this embarrassing photo, which even I don't have, end up on his desk? Don't you know you should knock before entering someone else's office? Boss, I brought your coffee. But that's not the point. The point is, why is there a photo of me eating a steamed bun in the university cafeteria in your office? Boss Bai, you better come clean right now. Are you suffering from some weird control freak syndrome or what? I had to trust my wife to take over the work, because this position has a base salary of 100,000 yuan, and we're recruiting key personnel, so of course I had to background check thoroughly to understand the employee's stress tolerance and family situation. There's nothing hard to understand about that, Boss; you overdid the background check. You even know exactly which stall I bought the steamed bun from. Hello, Tu Tu, I can't take it anymore. I'm in sharp pain and having trouble breathing . Where are you? Hurry home to see me one last time. Mom, don't panic, I'm coming right now! Mom, what's wrong with you? I called 120 for an ambulance , but no one answered. Mom, didn't you say you were dying? Oh, daughter, if I didn't say that, would someone like you , who just became the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bai family, even bother to come back? Come on, sit down. *Ahem*Tu Tu, since you're back, let's get straight to the point. Your brother just started dating a girl from a very good background. She said your brother needs a decent car before she'll agree to get engaged. This luxury car isn't even that expensive, only over 2 million yuan. Now that you're the eldest lady of the Bai family, just a little pocket money from you will be enough. That's ridiculous! It's over 2 million yuan, and you call that just a little bit of pocket money, Mom? You faked being sick to trick me into coming back just to buy a sports car for your golden child, didn't you? Why are you using that tone with me? He is your own flesh and blood brother. Since you're living so well, you should know how to support your family. After all, you are already the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bo family. From childhood until now, have you ever thought about me even once? When you kicked me out of the house, I only had exactly 120 yuan. Everything I have now , I earned myself with my own dignity and freedom. Let me tell you all, even if I threw all my money into the water just to hear it splash, I would never buy so much as a wheel for him. Do you want me to be a bloodsucker for you? Keep dreaming, get out of my house right now, you ungrateful, cold-blooded wretch. Get out. Cough, cough, cough, I wish I could. Get out of my house right now. You ungrateful, cold-blooded wretch. Get lost. Get in the car, I'll take you home. Young Master Bo, the Shen family is here to cause trouble again. I am already aware of this. The person I cherish so dearly that I can't bear to touch, they actually dare to insult. Young Master Bo, do you need me to teach the Shen family a lesson? If a lesson isn't enough, should we support Shen Hong? A distant rival will keep him busy enough that he won't have time to bother you anymore. Then I'll go take care of it. Doing this right away is so satisfying. Your father's company lost three major clients today; the whole family is scrambling to fix things for the next half month. I heard that my uncle helped you. Bo Yanchu, why are you so good to me? Is it just because of that 100,000 yuan per month contract? What if I say that's exactly right? Only I am allowed to bully the employees of the Bo family. What kind of boss is so dedicated to their employees? Everyone, look over there. The magnificent CEO Bo of the Bo Group is being sold on a second-hand app by his poor wife for just 30,000 yuan. What a joke. How did this screenshot get leaked? This time, not only is his job in danger, I'll probably have to pay a contract termination fee. It's over, it's over, it's really over. 30,000 yuan, really. Was my price as Mrs. Bo set a little too low, boss? Boss, let me explain first. This is just a misunderstanding. Chen Manyuan did this to set me up on purpose. I'll leave the group right now and write. What exactly are you even auditing? Does my wife, Bo Yanzhou's wife, really need to apologize to those busybodies? I am Bo Yanzhou. All of my assets belong to Chen Zi. She can spend them however she likes. If anyone has a problem, come directly to the Bo family . Whoever dares to gossip behind my wife's back, I will immediately send a lawyer's letter to hold them accountable. What's wrong? Are you so touched that you're speechless? Boss? Your acting skills in protecting your family are truly top-notch. But does this count as a workplace injury? Can I please actually withdraw those 30,000 yuan? Chen Zi, you are truly a money-obsessed person. The contract doesn't say that. Since cash withdrawals aren't allowed, there's nothing wrong with me trying. I'm just a shield so his grandfather could force him to get married. Even if I'm the one who stayed by his side during his hardest times, so what? Being a shield is fine, I already received the compensation anyway. I am just a cold-hearted employee, I must absolutely never overstep my boundaries . What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking, or did someone upset you again? It's nothing. Thank you for your concern. "Mr. Bo"? Yesterday you called me "boss," today it's already "Mr. Bo." You're hiding something from me, aren't you? CEO Bo, we are just in a partnership, mutually beneficial. If your "white moonlight" comes back, just give me a heads-up and I'll pack my bags and leave without hesitation. My stomach hurts a little, let's not worry about that for now. I will investigate myself to see who sent her those things today. If I can't find out, don't bother coming to work tomorrow. CEO Bo, I've investigated the person who did it ; it was Miss Chen Manyuan. She hired someone to photoshop a picture of the two of you together from the past and sent misleading messages to your wife. She is truly digging her own grave. Yanzhou, why did you suddenly call me? Tran Man Vien, this is my final warning to you, you had better stop now. Stop those games of deceiving yourself and others. Yen Chau, I really don't understand what you are talking about. I just feel that she is completely unworthy of you. Whether she is worthy or not is not for you to judge. Assistant Lam, immediately terminate all operations in the south of the city and withdraw all investment capital. I want all of high society to know what the consequences are for messing with the wife of this Bo Yen Chau. Understood, Mr. Bo, I will handle it. At once, what are you doing? Tran Tu, what is wrong? Looking at me like that again, there is no "white moonlight" here, and no old ties of friendship either. That photo is just a composite image. In this life, whether as a shield or anything else, the only woman who can stand beside this Bo Yen Chau ......can only be you, Tran Tu. You are so good to me. Aren't you afraid that I will take it for real? And then stick to you and refuse to let go? What if I want you to take it for real? Crazy, crazy, truly crazy. What does he mean? Giving me money and then what? Now even his gaze is as affectionate as spinning silk. Sis, what kind of misunderstanding do you have about your own charm? Or do you think my uncle is so free that he spent millions of yuan just to play house with you? He only sought me out to deal with the marriage pressure from his family. I'm just a tool that is both economical and obedient. Tran Tu, is there something wrong with your head? Do you think the Bo Group has such low standards? If they only needed a tool, Tran Man Vien would have lined up all the way to France. Why did he have to choose you? Because I am cheap and easy to control. Because that person is you. My uncle has lived for nearly 30 years and hasn't even let a female fly get close to him. He is always as cold as an iceberg. Have you ever seen him care about anyone like this before? He stood up for you against Tran Man Vien and solved your company troubles for you. Now he’s even personally explaining silly rumors to you. Wait, I’m asking you this sincerely. Answer me honestly. Do you really think this high-paying job offer is just a coincidence? What do you mean? What are you talking about ? Everyone in the industry knows Bo Yanzhou never suffers a loss; this business fox has set such a huge trap. He even specifically instructed me to deliver this job offer to you through me. Do you still not get it? Do you mean he has been watching me for a long time? I didn't say anything, remember. Don't worry, I'm here. Chen Zi, you are truly like a ghost that won't go away. Oh, isn't this Mrs. Bo? This dress suits you very well. It's just a pity that a pheasant, even with peacock feathers attached, can never turn into a phoenix. Miss Chen, why do you keep coming here to stir up trouble? Don't get too smug yet, Chen Zi; do you think no one knows about your shady deeds? Today, I will expose your true face to this entire city. Everyone look here, Chen Zi is not Mrs. Bo at all; she is just clinging to Bo Yanzhou, did you force me to marry you? How did you get in here? Chen Manyuan, who gave you the guts to do this? You dare to touch my people on my own turf. And you even bought a dozen security cameras and bribed servants to secretly film my wife's personal belongings. Huh, Chen? Manyuan, is this how the Chen family taught you to conduct yourself? Yanzhou , I am helping you expose this scheming woman. She is only after your money, that's for sure. I am Bo Yanzhou; if I don't let my wife spend my money, should I burn it for others to see? This marriage certificate is not only real, but I have already signed it. Perhaps you still don't know how hard I had to work to bring my wife home. Since she likes to bring up money so much. I will use all my wealth to protect her. It's not that she's eyeing my assets; it's that I'm afraid I don't have enough money to keep her by my side. Chen Ci is my legal wife and the treasure I cherish the most. Today, anyone who dares to look down on her or even make a joke about her is insulting the Bo Corporation. Someone get Miss Chen out of here for me, and while you're at it, notify the legal department to sue her for privacy infringement and corporate espionage. Bo Yanzhou, were the words you said on stage tonight true? Was it just to save face for the Bo family, or did you mean it? What if I told you I meant it? Hmm. Boss, your acting tonight was truly top-tier. You really deserve an Oscar for such a performance. Do you have any self-awareness left as the head of the Bo family? Bo Yanzhou, I’ve discovered that aside from your hot temper and stinginess, you actually look quite handsome. Shen Zi, you’re drunk. Do you even know what you’re doing? Bo Yanzhou, you said on stage tonight that I am the treasure in your heart; I heard it all. Then I thought about what Xiang Wan said—that you never do anything that would make you lose out. So why did you have to marry me? There are so many high-value tools out there, why did it have to be me? Could it be that you’ve actually been secretly in love with me for a long time? Just like what Xiang Wan said, you must have been plotting this for a long time. Isn't that right? Hey you, what if I told you that was true? Hmph, you heartless jerk, go to sleep already . You'll understand later—could it be that you’ve actually been secretly in love with me for a long time? Just like what Xiang Wan said. You’ve been plotting this for a long time, haven't you? Ha ha. Shen Zi, have you lost your mind? Drunk and you dare to molest your own benefactor? You, stay right there! Boss, I...I just remembered I have a shopping date with Xiang Wan today. That’s right, shopping, I’ll be going now. Okay? Boss, wait—aren't you supposed to be in the study? This house is mine, after all. It's my right to decide where I want to appear. Are you really the Lady Bo? You don't want to take responsibility for my performance last night? Take what? I was so drunk I lost my memory. I don't remember anything at all. I wouldn't mind helping you recall last night. But you were the one who asked if I did that on purpose, right? Don't say that, I was just rambling while drunk. But I, on the other hand, took it seriously. Su Su, Su Su, Su Su. Dad begs you, please save your mother. I am begging you. What trick are you trying to pull now? You previously faked an illness to demand a car and a house but couldn't get money. Are you playing the victim now? Su Su. This time, the Tham Group is truly going bankrupt and being liquidated. The company's cash flow has completely dried up. Now that you are the Lady Bo. You only need to say a word. Just ask President Bo to spare some mercy and invest to save the Tham Group. You only realize I'm your daughter now? When you kicked me out of the house, did you ever think this day would come? It was my fault. I was possessed by the devil. Su Su. Even if you hate. The Tham family so much, this is still where you were born and raised . You can't just watch your family's life's work go down the drain. That is your own karma. What does that have to do with me? Leave, I don't have any money. Bo Yanzhou's money doesn't just fall from the sky. I don't have the nerve to ask him for help. Su Su, you can't just stand by. Can you watch your father die? Why are you so heartless? That's 20 million yuan. How many years would I have to work at the Bo family to pay that off? But if I don't lend it to those two old people, isn't that moral kidnapping? Bo Yanzhou, the Tham family is a bottomless pit. What are you doing this for, after all? How many times have you taken a bullet for me like this? I don't even know how to repay you. I already said it, your business is also my business. What about how to repay you with my body to become Lady Bo? Don't you understand this simple logic? Tian Qian, my uncle is away on business, so tonight we won't stop until we're drunk. Ha ha ha. I'm sorry, Uncle, I didn't know you were home. I mean, Uncle, you finally succeeded. You've had a secret crush on her since high school and went through so much trouble to fake a job offer just to lure her home. And now, you're finally about to kiss her. I'll head out now, you two make yourselves at home. What did you just say? A secret crush. Bo Yanzhou, with a fake job offer and a salary of 100,000 yuan since high school? So you’ve been trapping me from the very beginning. Qian Qian, let me explain. It's not what you think. Don't touch me. Where do you think you're going at this hour? Do you really think everything I've done for you was fake? Don't you think that's important? So all this time, in your eyes, I was just a foolish fish caught in a trap. Don't you think that's ridiculous? Tian Qian, if you walk out that door today, you'll lose your salary and your status as Mrs. Bo. Mr. Bo, I resign. Keep your 100,000 yuan monthly salary and use it to lure some other fish. Tian Qian, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to let this slip. But I swear my uncle truly loves you. He drove the entire legal department crazy just to set this trap for you. He dared to deceive me; he’s nothing but a cunning old fox, a massive con artist . I will never speak to him again. Check all the surveillance cameras in the city for me right now. Even if you have to turn every inch of this city upside down, you must find her. Notify security immediately. He’s not only devious and cunning, but he’s also completely shameless. But who else could it be? He even knows exactly whose house my favorite steamed buns come from! I thought I had met a man of my dreams, but who knew he was such a manipulative person. Grandma, you can scold me all you want, but can you reply to your grandson's message first? He's already called me several times. I feel like he's searching everywhere to find me. Forget it, don't answer, let him worry his head off. Why should I listen to him? Just because he's leading me by the nose? Today, I am absolutely not giving in. Do you think you can make me surrender that easily? No way. Su Su, I'm begging you. Can you two stop flirting with each other? That's my precious baby. Scared just by seeing one beat-up car? So he was just trying to scare you? Did he really come looking for you? It's over now. What happened? Who would come all this way to visit in the middle of the night? J, good luck to you. I really can't help but open the door. Where is Chen Xi? She's hiding inside. Young master, please calm down. He's furious over there. Chen Xi, please open the door, can we talk for a bit? What does President Bo want to talk about? Talk about your top-notch acting skills or about me? You had me spinning in circles. Bo Yanzhou, you liar. You really tricked me. But Chen Xi, if I hadn't used the high salary to bait you back then, with your guard up, would you have willingly come to my side? Do you think that high-paying recruitment was my only desperate move? Open your mouth. President Bo, you're quite something. Your service attitude is not professional at all. Did you peel the shrimp shell off before putting it in my mouth? I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time. Just eat it. My little ancestor. Bo Yanzhou, don't think that peeling two shrimp for me will settle things. You didn't just trick me into marriage, you also violated my image rights. Sneaking around hiding so many photos of me, this is a very serious matter. Madam, you're right; Little Bo knows he was wrong. That sounds reasonable, but what is going on here? An exhibition? This is my entire fortune. Thirty percent of the Bo Group's shares. All real estate and personal funds have been transferred to your name. Bo Yanzhou, have you gone mad? I said I'm giving all my money to you. This matter is very serious; you must compensate me. From today on, I am entrusting myself to you as well. Are you satisfied with this apology from your boss? Work. Yanzhou, I heard that Chen Ci fought with you and left home. That cheap woman doesn't appreciate your kindness at all. Your concern has nothing to do with me. Get out of here now. Yanzhou, stop being so stubborn. You only married her to deal with the elders anyway. Now that the contract has been exposed. Why don't you take this chance to divorce her? What makes me inferior to her? That useless Chen Manyuan, whom even her own parents don't care about? I am only saving face for you out of respect for our families' long-standing friendship. Don't be so shameless. I will say this one last time. My marriage to Chen Ci is not a performance. My wife can only be her. If you continue to play these dirty tricks behind my back. The Chen Group will be completely wiped out. Bo Yanzhou, you are truly heartless. I admit defeat. So, you've managed to coax me. I have returned, but I absolutely cannot easily forgive that old fox. I stood in line for two hours at the bun shop south of the city. It’s your favorite dish. Eat it while it's hot, but don't think a box of buns can buy me off. Now, whenever I see you , I’m reminded of your cunning schemes. Is one box of buns not enough? Then from now on, I will work like a slave for you every day. Is this enough to make amends to you? I don't care about your mistakes anymore. Reflect on them yourself. That winter of my sophomore year in college, I worked part-time in the school cafeteria. Your hands are injured, yet you still reach out to feed the stray cat a sausage. For years, I have quietly watched you being alienated by your family, hiding behind a cold shell. I wanted to run to you and protect you more than anyone, but I was afraid of scaring you off. Chen Ci, I am not in need of anyone to shield me. Bai Yanzhou, I only want you . You sacrificed so much for me in this lifetime; don't you think you're being foolish? Chen Ci, you can scold me, you can hit me, do whatever you want, just come home with me. I can go with you, but as you said, how do you want to handle this debt? Just deduct it from my salary. Fine by me. Deduct it however you want, Mom and Dad are here to visit you, what are you two...doing here? Short on money again? Was the money Bai Yanzhou gave you last time not enough for you to squander? No, it's not like that, Ce, it’s not about the money. Since President Mo invested last time, our company has managed to recover. We just came here today to see how you are doing. These are the osmanthus cakes from the old town in the west, your favorite. When you were small, we were biased; whenever we could only afford one, we always saved it for your brother. Yesterday, I bought you a whole box because I happened to pass by and waited in line. But what is the point of bringing this now? I was kicked out of the house, and in your eyes, I was just a useless person. Isn't that right , Mom and Dad? We were so foolish back then. After this bankruptcy, we finally realized that in times of trouble, everyone turns their back, except for you. The daughter we once treated so poorly was the only one willing to help us. Ce, Mom and Dad know we were wrong, we truly realize our mistake. Please, get up. I'll accept this box of osmanthus cakes, is that enough? Bai Yanzhou, I'm so lucky to have you by my side now. I will always be here for you . Hey. President Bo, I hear you've transferred all your assets to your beautiful wife. Since you love her so much, why not pay 50 million in cash to save her life? Just arrive within half an hour. Hmph, if you're a minute late, I'll slash her face to pieces. If you dare touch a single hair on her head, I guarantee your entire family won't even have ashes left. I'm coming right now. Bo Yanchu, why are you here? They're over there. Run quickly! Don't be afraid, I'm taking you home. I've changed my mind. Kill her, and we'll get even more money. Bo Yanchu, are you stupid? Don't move. Please. Bo Yanchu, hang in there. If you die, I won't bother burning a single cent of paper money for you. I can't bear to die yet. My wife hasn't even increased my allowance yet. Wife, my shoulder hurts so much. I'll only feel better if my wife gives me a kiss. Bo Yanchu, that’s enough. The doctor said it was just a scratch. Stop pretending like that. You were paralyzed from the waist down, so how dare you show your face here? Bo Yanchu, tell me immediately what happened. I knew you would be the first to suspect me. But I, Chen Manyuan, am not that stupid. It’s not worth me going to jail just out of jealousy. Hmph, this is the accomplice from outside. They saw the news reports saying you gave all your assets to Shen Zi. They were greedy, which is why they kidnapped her. I used the Chen family's connections to find her. I am handing this person over to you just to prove my own innocence. How do you want to deal with me? As you wish. I have never lacked anything since I was a child. I thought you were just a low-class country girl, unworthy of Bo Yanchu. But when I knew Bo Yanchu risked his life to save you, I knew I had lost. Not to you, but to his heart. Miss Chen , feelings cannot be measured by whether someone is worthy or not. You brought me here, so thank you. But there is no need for thanks. I, Tran Man Vien, can pick it up and I can also put it down. Even if I lose, I must lose with pride. I will never appear in front of you two ever again. You two are such an eyesore. I wish you both a hundred years of happiness. What are you looking at? Hurry up and drink your wine. Look at the grand scene that I have prepared for this wedding. Now the whole world knows you hold all of my assets. Wife, the love rival has gone. The bad guys have also been caught. So can I ask if you have completely forgiven me now? What kind of games are you playing? Where are you taking me at this late hour? Are you trying to sell me off? What selling? We are almost there. Shh! We are almost there. Hurry up, my leading lady. Why are you making such a big deal out of this? Whatever you do is fine, right? Why are you spending money so wastefully like this? This is the 255th day since I met you. The day after this photo was taken years ago, I wrote in my diary that I must marry this girl named Tran Tu. Tran Tu, I know I used a very despicable way to trick you into being by my side. I initially wanted to approach you slowly, but I can't wait any longer. I don't want to face you as your boss anymore. I also don't want to use a high salary to tie you down anymore. Tran Tu, are you willing to tear up that employment contract to become my contractual wife, the lawful life partner of Bac Yen Chau? Boss Bac, I accept this job, but we must agree on one thing beforehand; no matter what your conditions are, I agree that you will be my lifelong partner. This child , Bac Yen Chau. You're about to get a raise, aren't you? She has suffered a lot at home before, so since I am entrusting her to you, you must treat her well. You can rest assured, Dad. This entire life of Bac Yen Chau belongs to her. From now on, no one will be able to make her suffer. Not even the slightest bit of grievance. My uncle has finally ended his bachelor days. My tea ship has finally reached the shore. Do you, Bo Yanchou, take Tran Tu to be your wife, to love and cherish her in times of prosperity or hardship, in wealth or poverty, in sickness and in health, until death do you part? I do. Father, you don't need to read any further. I do. I’d take her even for 100,000 a month, so only a fool wouldn't agree to this. Ha ha ha. Mrs. Bo, must you keep mentioning money in such a sacred moment? Is this what you call staying true to your original intentions? Then I must exercise my authority as a lifelong boss. Flowers. A moment of bliss is worth its weight in gold. Mrs. Bo, what are you doing on our wedding night? Signing a contract? Take a look at this draft of mine. It's a lifelong maintenance contract with a domineering CEO. Article one: after we marry, I will manage our finances. Article two: my annual salary will increase by 50%based on this amount. Article three—hey, what are you doing ? The contract isn't finished yet. There's no need to discuss this anymore . I am your credit card. However you want to swipe me, just do it; spend my money and use me as you please. Now, it's the wife's turn to fulfill her duties. Hey, the black stockings, darling.
