This time, he had experience.
Don't be fooled by his wife's bright and generous face and lavish spending.
But her money is the hottest, and she is very good at calculating all kinds of things.
As expected of a businessman, he is really not as good as her in business calculations. No wonder she can make so much money.
Moreover, his words are not trustworthy, and neither are her words.

It was late at night and the lights in Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian's bedrooms were off.
When Steward Yuan finished his work and returned to his room, he subconsciously stopped and looked at the young master's wife's room a few more times.
He always felt that something was wrong with the young master recently.
Manager Yuan has watched Wu Weian grow up for more than ten years, and he knows Wu Weian very well.
His son is good in everything except wealth.
Given the young master's complicated mind, it is not difficult for him to do business, but he will always encounter various unexpected events.
Maybe God is fair and will not let one person take all the good things.
Later, the young master gave up and let things take their course. He never interfered in business matters again.
But what the young master wanted to accomplish was both energy and money. Over the years, he had been living in poverty, often without a penny. He couldn't even afford candy and had to rely on the second young master for support.
There is actually a slight difference between a young man who has no money and a young man who has money.
No one else noticed, but Yuan Guanshi, who had watched Wu Weian grow up, could.
Just like tonight's dinner, there are the sweet and sour pork ribs that the young master likes, and the chopped pepper fish head that the young master doesn't care about.
If the young master had no money, he would eat both.
But tonight, he happened to have some chopped pepper fish head left.
Yuan Guanshi was like an old father who was worried about his child. He was afraid that the young man, who was heavily in debt, would secretly save the money and spend it without paying off his debts first.
Coincidentally, Baofu, who had finished his work, also planned to go back to his room to rest.
Baofu liked the old steward of his son-in-law's family very much, because the old steward was meticulous in his work and everything was well organized.
Baofu likes people who can do things in a down-to-earth manner, so it is difficult for her to like her brother-in-law.
When Manager Yuan saw Baofu, something suddenly clicked in his mind.
Now, who else can give money to the young master except the lady?
Of course, he couldn't possibly ask the lady how much she gave to the young master, but this girl might know.
And anyone with eyes can see that this girl doesn't like his son, isn't that just perfect?
"Baofu." Manager Yuan called out, "Can I ask you something?"
Baofu nodded: "Sure."
Manager Yuan asked: "Madam, have you had any unaccounted-for expenses recently?"
Baofu's expression changed instantly. She frowned and said, "Manager Yuan, why are you asking this? I won't tell you anything about the young lady! Don't even think about coming to me to inquire about her on behalf of your young master!"
Manager Yuan explained, "You misunderstood. I'm not trying to find out about the Madam. I actually want to know if the Madam has given my son money again, and if my son has any hidden money."
Baofu was stunned: "Huh?"
Manager Yuan betrayed his son without any guilt. He was telling the truth anyway: "My son is good in every way, but he's a bit greedy. You know how hard the Wu family is. The son often uses his lack of money as an excuse to withhold household expenses. So I want to know if he really is broke."
Baofu was shocked. The steward worked diligently for the family and even used his own money to subsidize the family, but the master's family didn't give him any household expenses?
Baofu immediately thought hard and said, "I still can't tell you anything else about you, Miss. I can only tell you how much money you have lost."
Her daughter likes to keep accounts. There is a trace for the whereabouts of every penny of her money, and there is very little money that goes unaccounted for.
However, ever since the young lady met her brother-in-law, she has often had expenses of unknown origin.
The old man's face changed: "How much?"
Baofu said, "There was one recently, two thousand and fifty taels."
As the night deepened, the clouds in the sky grew thicker, blocking the moonlight and stars.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, and soon it began to rain heavily.
In summer, put ice cubes in the room to cool down, and cover yourself with a thin blanket to keep the temperature just right.
But tonight there was a sudden rainstorm, the temperature dropped sharply, and Wu Weian was left without a quilt again.
He was cold and subconsciously curled up, and felt something emitting warmth inside.
This thing was very familiar. It had appeared beside him for some time. He had tried it before and found no danger.
Because he felt very safe around him, Wu Weian showed no signs of waking up while he was sleeping. He just moved quietly towards the thing.
Step by step, closer and closer, until they were close together.
He slept next to her for a while, but he was still very cold.
Wu Weian reached out, tore open the skin of the thing, and tried to squeeze himself in.
Chapter 52 Can You Stop Kicking Me?
Almost at the moment when Wu Weian pulled off Ji Yunxi's quilt and tried to get in, Ji Yunxi kicked him without hesitation!
Wu Weian reacted quickly as well. Almost at the moment when Ji Yunxi kicked him, his body paused slightly. In an instant, he retreated outwards. His toes lightly touched the mattress, and he flew up, retreated all the way to the bottom of the bed, stood in mid-air, and then landed on the ground.
But he felt too safe in his dream and was not on guard. He retreated half a step too late and was kicked on the right side of his waist, which hurt slightly.
Wu Weian covered his right waist and stood barefoot on the cold ground, looking at the bed with five parts sleepiness, two parts confusion, two parts vigilance and one part pain.
Ji Yunxi had also sat up from the bed, grabbing the quilt. Her long hair was slightly disheveled, and her very pretty face showed annoyance at being woken up.
There was a violent storm outside, and the night was extremely dark and gloomy.
The room was also pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
