Chapter 438: Rich Wives Are Not Easy
Fu Shangbei changed his clothes and came to the baby room. He saw his two sons turning their heads and looking at him with bright eyes. After looking at him, it seemed that they realized that it was not their mother who came, and the light in the eyes of the two little guys gradually dimmed.
Fu Shangbei walked barefoot onto the mat, sat down cross-legged, and held his two sons in his arms. They held onto their father's strong arms to stand steadily, and then began to eat the buttons of their father's clothes.
The childcare teacher who watched all this finally felt relieved. "The children weren't so sad anymore after seeing their dad."
After hearing the nanny's judgment, Fu Shangbei felt relieved. When he came in, he was quite afraid that his sons would only want their mother and not their father. He didn't want to force his wife to wake up for these two guys.
Since the nanny said that the two of them did not take a nap and were still crying, Fu Shangbei played with them for three hours until 9:30 in the evening, when they finally fell asleep. Now they can sleep until tomorrow morning and have enough energy to wake up.
After putting the child into bed, Fu Shangbei left the nursery and sat at the dining table for dinner. He drank a sip of soup and called out to Yan Ma. Before he could even open his mouth, Yan Ma understood, "Don't worry, my dear son-in-law, the young lady's dinner is kept warm in the kitchen. She can eat it anytime she wakes up."
Fu Shangbei nodded, "That's good. You and Jiang Ma should go and have some rest."
Mother Yan hesitated for a few seconds and couldn't help but say, "Son-in-law, the young lady went to work at her father's company today. Did she encounter any difficulties?"
God knows how distressed Yan's mother was when she saw the young lady being carried home by her brother-in-law because she was so tired.
Fu Shangbei had always known how much Yan's mother truly loved Yan Nuo. A faint smile spread across his handsome face. "You're worrying too much. Actually, everything went smoothly for her today. The reason she's so tired is because she's been busy, cutting the ribbon, attending meetings, and planning a competition to recruit new designers. Not only does the company have Mr. Jing, who has always been loyal to my father-in-law, but we also have Dajiang, a top bodyguard, who's always roaming around the company. If anyone makes things difficult for Nuo Nuo, I'll be the first to know."
"That's good." Yan's mother was relieved. "Son-in-law, wait until you finish eating, I will wash the dishes before going to bed."
"No need, you go to sleep. I'll put the dishes in the dishwasher after I finish eating." Fu Shangbei said.
The man of the house had spoken, and Yan's mother did not object. She obediently went back to her room to rest.
Yan's mother shared a room with one of the nannies. When she returned to her room and lay down, the nanny came to chat with her, "Yan's mother, how come Mr. Fu is the president of the Fuhuang Group, but his wife still has to go out and work hard for her career, making herself so tired?"
Mother Yan: "My uncle is working hard to build the Fu family's business, so my young lady naturally has her own business to take care of. No matter whether my uncle is rich or poor, my young lady will go out to work."
The nanny said, "Mother Yan, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean anything else. It's mainly because Mr. Fu's family is a wealthy family with a deep and profound background. I thought that as the mistress of the house, the wife only needed to be busy with household affairs every day. Many wives in other families do the same."
"You don't understand. Those wealthy wives may seem idle, but in reality, none of them are truly homebodies. They either have invested heavily in assets that don't require their personal care, relying solely on annual dividends, so they don't have to go out to work every day. Furthermore, they attend gatherings within their social circles to build relationships with the wealthy wives around them, so that these connections can come in handy if their families need to collaborate on their businesses in the future. When they interact with wealthy wives, it's not like we interact with each other, where we just go out for a cup of coffee at a cafe or take a photo at a free park and become friends. Their social activities involve art exhibitions, flower arranging, performing arts, and tasting new products at top restaurants. For these activities, for example, flower arranging requires a solid theoretical foundation, art exhibitions require an artistic eye, and a performance requires you to avoid falling asleep. You have to showcase your knowledge to avoid being looked down upon. Let me ask you, if someone doesn't have this knowledge base, can they really interact with people in this circle?"
The nanny shook her head. "Of course not. Now that you mention it, I do have some impression of it. I used to work part-time for a few wealthy wives. Although they stayed at home most of the time, they still talked to their husbands about their careers. They also went to the flower arranging and art exhibitions you mentioned."
"Right. Outsiders think it's easy to be a wife of a wealthy family, but in fact, they have to know everything. Why? Because wealthy families want to maintain the family's current status for a long time, and the hostess must not be a naive and innocent woman who does nothing. Nine out of ten wives of wealthy families are not easy to deal with. If the remaining one makes you think she is ordinary, then she must be pretending."
The childcare teacher was shocked. "Once you enter a wealthy family, it's like entering a deep sea. It's really not just a saying."
"Yes. Happiness also requires one's own efforts to maintain, otherwise it will not last long. My young lady has a career that she loves, and my son-in-law is also a career maniac. Not only do they have common goals in life, they also have things to talk about in their careers. How great is that." The more Mother Yan thought about it, the happier she felt.
The childcare teacher said, "The status of a wealthy wife can only be held by a daughter of wealth. For example, if our wife were replaced by an ordinary person, she would probably be depressed by this oppressive atmosphere. After all, the daughter of a wealthy family has received an elite education since childhood and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has all kinds of artistic talent since she was a child. How can ordinary people like us have such leisure time?"
"That's not so absolute. My lady's best friend is just an ordinary person, but she married into a wealthy family."
"Are you talking about Miss Xu? My goodness, Miss Xu is a top student, and she's known my wife since she was a child. She's no ordinary person. She has such a good relationship with my wife, so her vision and ability must be on par with my wife's."
"All I know is that Miss Xu's father is a retired soldier, and that she's very talented in computers. When she was in college, she often won first place in important competitions..."
"Mom Yan, stop talking. This is not an ordinary person!"
"All right."
The night passed silently amid the chatter of Yan's mother and the nanny. Around five o'clock the next morning, Yan Nuo finally woke up.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt an empty feeling in my stomach, which was very uncomfortable.
"Uh..." Rubbing his hungry stomach, he inadvertently made some noises.
"Are you awake?" Fu Shangbei stood up immediately, which inevitably scared the woman.
"Husband, why did you wake up suddenly?" Yan Nuo looked at the man who opened his eyes in surprise.
"You were so tired that you went to bed without eating dinner. I was worried that you would be hungry and your sleep would become shallow." In fact, he slept in a daze that night and did not enter a deep sleep. His brain and body were waiting for his wife to wake up at any time.
