Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

”Sis, what do you mean by that?”

Meng Chengyu froze when he heard what Meng Sijia said. He stared at her, his face filled with disbelief.

”That Lu Cheng guy is just some nobody from the countryside, right? So what if he clawed his way up to a measly group leader position? Don’t tell me our Meng Family is actually afraid of him.”

Even though he had recognized the gap between himself and Lu Cheng when he saw him, Meng Chengyu still didn’t take him seriously in the slightest.

’After all, this world has never been a place where ability is all that matters!’

”It’s true he’s from the countryside, but do you have any idea that he’s the person with the most potential in our entire Security Group—the one we’re investing the most in cultivating? Someone like that has a limitless future! Besides, there’s more to his background than meets the eye.”

Meng Sijia gazed in the direction of the Security Group’s headquarters. It was a man like Lu Cheng who could fascinate her so completely.

”That explains it! I was wondering how my sister could fall for some nobody from the countryside with no connections! Sis, you really are the shrewdest one in our Meng Family! But what did you mean his background isn’t so simple? Don’t tell me he’s the heir to some powerful family?”

Although Meng Chengyu said this, his expression was skeptical. ’After all,’ he thought, ’what kind of heir from a powerful family would be foolish enough to ignore the easy shortcut of their family’s influence and insist on clawing their way up from the bottom of the Security Group on their own?’

”He is indeed from the countryside, that’s true. But from what I’ve gathered recently, the ones standing behind him are the Chu Family.”

”The Chu Family? Sis, you don’t mean... *that* Chu Family, do you?”

Hearing the name ”Chu Family,” Meng Chengyu’s expression instantly changed. If it really was *that* Chu Family, they were a top-tier family that even the Meng Family couldn’t compare to—a family on par with the Qin family, the top-tier family backing them.

”What other Chu Family could there be! Chengyu, while our Meng Family has some influence, there’s still a huge gap between us and the Chu Family. Besides, if we were to antagonize the Chu Family, do you really think the Qin family backing us would be pleased?”

”Sis, is it really that serious? The Chu Family is powerful, sure, but Lu Cheng isn’t actually a member of their family! Would the Chu Family really step in for him?”

”It’s better to be safe than sorry. Although the Chu Family has never openly intervened on Lu Cheng’s behalf, I’m certain that if anyone tried to move against him, the Chu Family absolutely would not stand by and do nothing.”

”Why?”

Meng Sijia sighed as she looked at Meng Chengyu. ’This little brother of mine only ever thinks about having fun. How could he possibly understand all this!’

’Even she had only managed to piece it all together because she had accidentally learned about certain past events.’

”Lu Cheng is building a lot of momentum at the company. If he continues on this path, he’s bound to threaten many people’s positions. Did you think no one would try to make a move against him? In fact, when he was up for promotion to group leader, he faced obstruction from multiple parties, but in the end...”

”Don’t tell me... the Chu Family made a move?”

”Exactly. Not many people know about it; I only found out by chance myself. While the Chu Family won’t proactively help him, they absolutely won’t stand by and watch someone move against him! Therefore, Lu Cheng is someone you must befriend, not offend. Do you understand now?”

”But... if he’s connected to the Chu Family, then Sis, why are you...?”

Meng Chengyu didn’t understand. The Chu Family and the Qin family, which backed his own family, were rival factions. Since his sister knew Lu Cheng was connected to the Chu Family, why would she still want to marry him?
