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, they seemed to realize 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 firmly, and then began to eat the buttons of their father's clothes.
The childcare teacher who watched all this finally let go of her worries. "The children weren't so sad when they saw 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 just 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. It was not until 9:30 in the evening that they fell asleep. Now they can sleep until the next day to have enough energy.
After putting the child into bed, Fu Shangbei left the nursery and sat at the dining table to eat dinner. He drank a mouthful of soup and called Yan's mother. Before he could say anything, Yan's mother understood what he meant, "Don't worry, my 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 a rest too."
Mother Yan hesitated for a few seconds and couldn't help but speak: "Son-in-law, the young lady went to work at her father's company today. Did she encounter many 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 has always known that Yan's mother is sincere to Yan Nuo, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. "You worry too much. In fact, she had a smooth day today. The reason why she is so tired is that she has been busy, cutting the ribbon, attending meetings, and planning a competition to recruit new designers. The company not only has Mr. Jing who has always been loyal to my father-in-law, but also Dajiang, a top bodyguard who walks around the company at any time. If anyone makes things difficult for Nuo Nuo, I will know it first."
"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 refute him. She obediently went back to her room to rest.
Yan's mother shared a room with one of the childcare workers. When she went back to her room and lay down, the childcare worker 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 for 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 not, my young lady will go out to work."
Childcare teacher: "Mother Yan, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. It's mainly because Mr. Fu's family is a wealthy family with a deep foundation. I thought that as the mistress of the house, the wife only needs to be busy with household affairs every day. Many wives in other families are like this."
"You don't understand this. Those rich wives seem to be doing nothing, but in fact, none of them are really staying at home and eating for free. They either invest in a lot of assets and don't need to take care of them themselves, but only need to wait for annual dividends, so they don't have to go out to work every day. In addition, they go out to participate in some gatherings in their social circles to build good relationships with the rich wives around them, so that if there is cooperation in the family business in the future, these relationships will come in handy. When they deal with rich wives, it's not like we communicate with each other, going out to a cafe to drink a cup of coffee, or going to a free park to take pictures and check in, and we are friends. Their social activities are to see art exhibitions, flower arrangement, drama, and go to top restaurants to taste new products. For these activities, if you want to arrange flowers, you must have sufficient theoretical knowledge of flower arrangement, to see art exhibitions, you must have artistic vision, and to watch dramas, you can't fall asleep while watching. You have to use knowledge to show yourself, so as not to be looked down upon. Let me ask you, if a person does not have this knowledge reserve, can she go out and communicate with people in this circle?"
The nanny shook her head, "Of course not. Now that you mention it, I do have some impressions. The wives of several wealthy families that I worked for part-time before, although they stayed at home most of the time, they were still able to talk to their husbands about their careers. They also went to the flower arranging and art exhibitions that 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 keep the family in its current state for a long time, so the mistress must not be a naive person who does nothing. Nine out of ten wives of wealthy families are not good people, and if the remaining one makes you feel that 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 she loves, and my son-in-law is also a career maniac. Not only do they have common goals in life, they also have something 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 rich wife can only be filled by a rich girl. For example, if our wife were replaced by an ordinary person, she would probably be depressed by this oppressive atmosphere. After all, the rich girl has received an elite education since she was a child. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has 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, and she married into a wealthy family."
"Are you talking about Miss Xu? My goodness, Miss Xu is a top student and has known my wife since she was a child. She is no longer an ordinary person. She has such a good relationship with my wife. Her vision and ability must be comparable to my wife's."
"I only know that Miss Xu's father is a retired soldier. Miss Xu is very talented in computers. When she was in college, she often won first place in some important competitions..."
"Mom Yan, stop talking, this person is not an ordinary person!"
"Ok."
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 my stomach was empty and uncomfortable.
"Uh..." Rubbing his hungry stomach, he inadvertently made some noises.
"Are you awake?" Fu Shangbei stood up immediately, which inevitably scared the woman.
"Honey, 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 even having 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.
