Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Jian Yufei said the name of the company with a smile, then mentioned her position.

Ruan’s mother frowned slightly, a trace of contempt in her eyes that she couldn’t hide.

“I’ve never heard of this company… You should quit as soon as possible. What future could a small accounting role offer you?”

It was impossible for Jian Yufei to quit this job.

She diverted the topic with a smile: “Mom, have you had dinner yet?”

“We ate long ago. Everyone would have to starve if we waited for you.”

“I was wrong. I forgot to tell Uncle Zhong that I could be home late. Mom, I’ll often be home late from now on, so you don’t need to wait for me for dinner.”

Jian Yufei kept smiling, as though she wouldn’t mind whatever you said.

Seeing her like this, Ruan’s mother didn’t want to give her a hard time anymore.

“Go and eat your meal quickly. Your food has been kept warm for you.”

Jian Yufei’s smile became brighter, “Thank you, Mom.”

She walked into the kitchen, where the voice of Yan Yue could still be faintly heard.

“Auntie, Xu Man’s family bought a 50 million villa, and she’s invited us over tonight for a BBQ party. Why don’t you come with us?”

“I’m old. If I go, I might dampen the spirits of you young people. You and Tianling can go together, have a good time, and be happy.”

“Should we ask Yufei to join?”

“It’s a gathering of childhood friends. Why would you invite her? She doesn’t even know the rest of them well…”

Jian Yufei sat at the kitchen table, eating her meal quietly. She planned to take a bath after dinner, then go online to learn more knowledge concerning her work, then sleep.

Thinking of how she could go to work the next day made her feel energetic and full of drive.

Actually, going to work was great. She didn’t have to face people she’d rather not. For a while, she could leave many of her frustrations aside and let her mind relax.

If she’d known work had this effect, she would have started working earlier.

Jian Yufei ate a bowl of rice and then stopped. She heard Yan Yue’s voice again as she was washing up.

“Auntie, we are leaving. See you later.”

“Have fun.” Ruan’s mother replied with a smile.

Jian Yufei had a strange feeling of amusement.

She understood that her mother-in-law favored Yan Yue as her daughter-in-law, but was she not afraid that letting Yan Yue and Ruan Tianling be together would lead to a scandal?

Or was it that she knew that she and Ruan Tianling were destined to divorce, so she was making preparations in advance?

Shaking her head with a smile, she finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, then went upstairs to do her own things.

That night, Ruan Tianling did not return until late. When he came back, Jian Yufei was slightly aware of his return before she fell into a deep sleep again.

Next morning at six-thirty, she got up on time. The man lying next to her opened his eyes in annoyance and said gruffly, “You are not going to work anymore!”

Jian Yufei paused for a moment, then got out of bed as if nothing had happened and went to the bathroom.

She came out of the bathroom fully dressed, with simple make-up. She grabbed her bag and left the house.

When she arrived at the company ready to start a new day’s work, the manager called her into his office and told her to go home and not to come back.

“Why? Did I do something wrong?” Jian Yufei asked in surprise.

“It’s not that you did something wrong. It’s just that the company’s been going through a tough time lately and plans to make cutbacks. Since you’re new and haven’t signed a formal contract yet, we can only apologize.”

Such an excuse hardly sounded convincing.
