Chapter 749 Xu Zhiyi's Plan
Chapter 749 Xu Zhiyi's Plan
“That’s right, Meng Jie must have another reason. I’ll ask Uncle San right away.”
Meng Size seized the opportunity to make amends.
He blurted out something he shouldn't have.
This made Xu Zhiyi, the second sister-in-law, change her expression.
He picked up his phone, dialed his third uncle Meng Huaiyu's number, and put it on speakerphone.
"Si Ze, what made you suddenly decide to call your third uncle?"
On Meng Huaiyu's side, it seemed he was attending some kind of drinking party; you could hear the sounds of several men drinking coming from the other end of the microphone.
"Third Uncle, are you still socializing?"
"Yes, didn't the conglomerate just sign a contract with the Kyoto Yu Group? I'm entertaining people from the Yu Group."
"Oh, Third Uncle, has my sister returned?"
"You mean Jie'er? No, she's been studying banking and financial management abroad."
"Third Uncle, has something happened between you and my sister?"
Meng Size asked tentatively.
"How did you know? She didn't listen to me and your third aunt. She wanted to go back to China and didn't want to study banking and finance. We had a fight, and she gave in. She's been abroad for the past few years and rarely contacts us."
"Okay, Uncle, I understand."
"Wait, why are you bringing up your sister? You two aren't close, you rarely see each other, right? Did something happen to your sister abroad?"
Meng Huaiyu's tone became urgent.
"No, Uncle, I was just asking casually. My sister is fine."
"That's good. Si Ze, if your sister comes back to China, how about we let her work for the conglomerate and learn from you?"
"Well... Uncle, you can arrange it, but shouldn't we also ask for my sister's opinion?"
"She doesn't have the final say; things have to go according to my plan."
Meng Huaiyu's attitude was very assertive.
"Suit yourself! I'm hanging up now. Uncle, you should drink less alcohol, it's bad for your health."
"understood."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Size was 100% certain that his second brother's chief secretary was his cousin, Meng Jie.
I also found out that she must have had a falling out with her third uncle, which is why she secretly returned to China, concealed her identity, and joined her second brother's group.
After listening to the whole thing, Mo Erchen and the others understood.
Xu Zhiyi's complexion finally improved.
It seems that Meng Jie truly had no designs on her husband; she simply returned to China secretly because she was dissatisfied with her father's arrangements, and happened to get a job at her husband's company.
No wonder her husband kept explaining that Meng Jie had never done anything improper to him.
There was no excessive behavior.
I have always worked diligently.
She seems to be a good girl.
Seeing his wife's complexion improve, Mo Erchen breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's wonderful! My future daughter-in-law has great character!"
Zhuang Ziyan beamed with joy.
It's as if Meng Jie is about to become her daughter-in-law.
"Aunt, it's not even close to being settled yet. Have you forgotten that Erhao said he wouldn't like Meng Jie?"
Mo Erchen timely poured cold water on the situation.
"That's just the brat being stubborn. I won't let such a good future daughter-in-law go."
Zhuang Ziyan's face was full of determination.
She was already starting to plan how to help her son win over Meng Jie.
"Si Ze! You have to help your aunt."
Zhuang Ziyan's first ally was Meng Size.
“Aunt, as long as Erhao truly loves my sister and my sister loves him too, I don’t mind helping him out.”
Meng Size was also pleased to see this happen.
"Honey, haven't you asked your sister's opinion yet?"
Wanwan reminded her husband.
"I'll try to bump into Meng Jie at the company another day and see what her attitude is."
"Brother-in-law, I'm afraid it might be a bit difficult."
Merschen poured cold water on the idea again.
"How could that be? If they both have the same idea, I'd be happy to make it happen."
Meng Size looked puzzled.
He was unaware of what had happened in Merschen's office.
"Brother-in-law, I haven't told you yet, have I?"
"What should I say? Second Brother, you tell me."
Mo Erchen then recounted everything Meng Jie had overheard about Mo Erhao in his office, as well as what had happened between the two of them in the conference room.
"Haha, poor Erhao, he's in love but doesn't even realize it!"
Wanwan smiled happily.
"This is awkward, Auntie. It seems Erhao is about to face a nightmare of trying to win back his wife."
After hearing this, Meng Size looked full of regret.
How can he possibly provide an assist under these circumstances?
Meng Jie's younger sister must have been heartbroken after hearing those words.
Even if she had feelings for Erhao, she would be hurt by his words and ignore him.
Girls all have self-esteem, and besides, he knew his sister Meng Jie's personality.
Mo Erhao, you're in big trouble!
Meng Size thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."
"Si Ze, I've decided that your sister will be my daughter-in-law. Can you find a way to help your brother?"
Zhuang Ziyan also became anxious.
What if I lose such a beloved daughter-in-law just because my son said something so stubborn?
"Aunt, please don't make things difficult for me. At most, when I see my sister, I'll put in a good word for Erhao with her."
Meng Size suddenly didn't want to get involved in this mess anymore.
This is clearly asking for a beating in front of his sister!
As Uncle Meng Huaiyu said, their relationship was indeed not close.
We have very little contact, so how can he help?
"Yes, Auntie, helping is just an assist; everything depends on Erhao's own attitude."
Mo Erchen reminded his aunt.
"Alright, I'll figure something out. I'll make sure that brat knows how he feels."
Zhuang Ziyan sighed.
"Aunt, I do have a solution."
Xu Zhiyi suddenly spoke up.
"Tell me, Zhiyi, if your plan succeeds, your aunt will give you a big red envelope."
Zhuang Ziyan looked intently at Xu Zhiyi.
"First, I'll have to rely on my brother-in-law's help."
"I?"
Meng Size pointed to his nose, his face full of confusion.
"Yes, you use the name of the Meng Group to hold a banquet to invite young talents and business elites from Country C, so that Meng Jie can come into contact with those young talents. Ideally, you should arrange for a man who is excellent in all aspects to come into contact with Meng Jie. Of course, this is to provoke Erhao's younger brother, not for real."
"and then?"
"Then we had that talented young man pretend to pursue Meng Jie, so that Erhao's younger brother would quickly realize that Meng Jie was the woman he liked, change his attitude, and seriously pursue Meng Jie."
"This is acceptable? Wouldn't this expose my sister's true identity? My sister might not be happy about it."
Meng Size still felt it was too simple; given his sister's personality, he feared the plan would not work.
"Why don't you try it and see? It sounds a bit cheesy, but as long as it works, that's fine. Of course, before that, you have to find out if your sister has feelings for Erhao."
"This is a bit tricky. How should I probe?"
"It's very simple. Just tell her that your family is planning to arrange a marriage between her and Erhao's younger brother, and you'll know what to expect from her attitude."
"Alright, no need to hold a banquet, and no need to find talented young men to pretend to pursue me. I'll just have my third uncle test the waters."
Meng Size readily agreed.
"No, having someone pretend to pursue Meng Jie is a crucial step. Brother-in-law, think about it carefully."
"We also think it's feasible."
Xu Zhiyi's plan received support from most people.
Especially Zhuang Ziyan.
