Zong Shimeng thought it was better to cancel the engagement, otherwise she might have an illegitimate child before the marriage, which would be disgusting. But when she thought of the Yu family, she spoke with sadness: "If she insists on canceling the engagement, the Yu family will stop her card."

Like them, if their natal family is not supportive, they will be bullied by their husband’s family after marriage and have no place to complain. Thinking of this, I became more determined to do the children’s clothing business.

Lu Jiaxin felt that the wealthy family had no new tricks other than suspending her credit card: "She is now working and earning a salary, and can support herself."

Zong Shimeng was not optimistic: "In the past, a simple bag bought by Meitong would cost thousands or even tens of thousands. Now, with a monthly salary of four or five thousand, how can it be enough?"

Lu Jiaxin thought differently. She said, "You have to give up something to gain something. If you want to live a life of luxury, you have to obey your family and marry Fu Ye, and then you have to put up with his extramarital affairs. If you want to live a comfortable life, you have to work hard to support yourself. It all depends on what Sister Meitong chooses."

However, Yu Meitong has already made her choice by taking the first step to work at Wufu Jewelry. Next, she just needs to overcome the gap from being a rich girl to being an ordinary office worker, and then she can get rid of the control of her family.

Zong Shimeng said: "Meitong was able to make up her mind this time, probably because of your influence."

This surprised Lu Jiaxin: "I didn't do anything because of my influence?"

Zong Shimeng smiled and said, "You don't need to do anything special. Just look at Nie Zhan's attitude towards you and you will know what to choose. Jiaxin, sometimes I envy you. You have done such a big business and you are so confident when you speak."

Although I am envious, I am not jealous. After all, this is Lu Jiaxin's ability, and there is no one else like her in the entire Hong Kong City.

After they had lunch, Lu Jiaxin went back home. Zong Shimeng did not go home, but went back to buy things for the child.

When she got home and knew Hu Zhifeng was back in the room, she went upstairs with her things and saw him changing his clothes.

Zong Shimeng walked up to her and sorted out her clothes while asking, "Zhifeng, I remember you had dinner with Su Heyuan. What was your impression?"

Hu Zhifeng was a little surprised: "He's pretty good, why are you asking about him suddenly?"

Zong Shimeng smiled and said, "Jiaxin told me that Su Heyuan fell in love with Huihui at first sight when he saw her at Fulinmen last time. Knowing that she was familiar with me, he asked her to help introduce me to him. Jiaxin refused several times but finally told me."

Hu Zhifeng was surprised: "Su Heyuan fell in love with Huihui?"

Seeing her expression, Zong Shimeng was unhappy: "Our Huihui is kind and filial, and she graduated from Columbia University. Although Su Heyuan has good abilities, he only graduated from junior high school and has a weak foundation."

Hu Zhifeng chuckled: "Of course my Huihui is good. It's just that I thought Su Heyuan liked mature women, but I didn't expect that he would like Huihui."

Although Su Heyuan only graduated from junior high school, he speaks very good English with an authentic London accent. This shows that he has received a good education, but he just has no diploma.

Hearing his praise for Su Heyuan, Zong Shimeng said, "Then let's invite Jiaxin and Nie Zhan to play basketball together, and let Huihui meet Su Heyuan? Hu Zhifeng said there was no rush for this matter: "I have only met Su Heyuan twice, and I have a good impression of him. But this is a lifelong event after all. I will call Ah Zhan tomorrow to ask."

Zong Shimeng nodded.

Hu Zhifeng thought of what Fu Ye had asked him to do: "Miss Yu wants to cancel the engagement, please help persuade her, after all, we know each other well and have been together for three years."

As soon as she heard it, she knew that Fu Ye was asking for her husband's favor. Zong Shimeng refused outright and said, "Meitong saw him being intimate with a young woman last month, and he didn't apologize and got angry. Zhifeng, it's understandable for a man to have social events and flirt with others, but I can't bring myself to do this to embarrass my fiancée."

"Fu Ye told me this was a misunderstanding."

A hint of disgust flashed across Zong Shimeng's eyes. "Meitong has said this more than once. It's impossible that every time it was a misunderstanding! He humiliated Meitong like that. Now Meitong wants to cancel the engagement. Isn't that what he wants? Why doesn't she cancel the engagement?"

The next morning, Hu Zhifeng called Nie Zhan to ask him about Su Heyuan. He came to Hong Kong penniless and built two companies in four years, which he admired very much.

Nie Zhan understood what was going on as soon as he heard it: "There is no problem with his character, and he is very loyal in his feelings. The only shortcoming is that his family background is not good enough."

Hu Zhifeng understood what was going on when he heard this, and said with a smile, "We haven't gotten together for a while, let's play golf together on Saturday, remember to invite your sister-in-law along."

"Okay, I'll bring Su Heyuan along as well."

Nie Zhan immediately called Lu Jiaxin and told her that Hu Zhifeng had asked her to play golf with him on Saturday. He also joked that the matchmaking should be successful.

Lu Jiaxin laughed and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. It was Brother Su who fell in love with Miss Hu and asked me to be a matchmaker, not me. I'm not married yet, how can I be a matchmaker?"

On Friday, Yu Meitong came to see Lu Jiaxin, and the first thing she said when they met was: "Jiaxin, can you ask Nie Zhan not to fire me?"

Lu Jiaxin's face suddenly turned ugly: "What's going on?"

"Fu Ye threatened me, saying that if I insisted on breaking off the engagement, Nie Zhan would fire me..."

After a pause, Yu Meitong took Lu Jiaxin's hand and said earnestly, "My mother froze my card, and I now share a small apartment with my colleagues. Although life is not as comfortable as before, I feel at ease and sleep well at night. Jiaxin, can you ask Nie Zhan not to fire me? I really like this job."

Although the monthly salary of this job is only more than 5,000, but with the money-saving method of colleagues, this money can support myself. And if Nie Zhan fires me, other jewelry companies in Hong Kong will not hire me again.

Lu Jiaxin comforted her, "Don't worry, as long as you work hard and don't violate the company's rules and regulations, no one can fire you, not even Nie Zhan."

Yu Meitong felt relieved, and then said, "Jia Xin, my friends all think I am asking for trouble and tell me not to be stubborn, but I really like my current life."

She eats lunch boxes that cost about ten yuan, and lives in a room that is not even as big as her previous bathroom, but she no longer has to endure being bullied or put up with her philandering fiancé.

Lu Jiaxin said: "Sister Meitong, you are talented in jewelry design. As long as you keep working hard, you will definitely become an outstanding jewelry designer in the future."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. You have to have confidence in yourself."

Yu Meitong went forward and hugged her, choking up and saying, "Jiaxin, thank you. You are the first person who supports and encourages me."

Lu Jiaxin patted her on the back and said with a smile: "Sister Meitong, you are great. You can live well without relying on your family or men."

Yu Meitong couldn't help but shed tears: "Thank you, thank you Jiaxin."

After Yu Meitong calmed down, Lu Jiaxin gave her 10,000 yuan in cash. Seeing Yu Meitong refuse, she said, "You just started working this month, and your salary will be paid next month. How are you going to get through the remaining half a month?"

Yu Meitong shook her head and said, "I sold the bag I was carrying for 8,000 yuan. After paying half a year's rent, I still have 3,000 yuan left, which is enough for me to pay my salary."
