Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 223: The Potential of the Female Lead

"Don't look down on me!"

As Yun Xiaoyue walked towards the kitchen, she rubbed her sore neck with her hand and whispered, "I've been staying up late for three or four days, working overtime and reading books. I didn't learn how to cook, and I've already gotten a stomach disease from hunger."

Upon hearing "stomach disease from hunger," Li Mubai couldn't help but smile. If there were any material benefits to being reborn, then not having to endure the pain of a stomach disease should count for something.

Li Mubai snapped back to reality and continued watching TV. After a while, he heard the sound of a mobile phone ringing from the room to the west.

Li Mubai called out in the direction of the kitchen, but seeing no response, he knew that Yun Xiaoyue had closed the kitchen door and turned on the range hood, probably not hearing him.

The ringing continued incessantly, so Li Mubai finally walked into Yun Xiaoyue's room and saw her vibrating phone on the table. He picked it up and answered the call.

The caller ID showed Lin Meizhu.

Before this cheap mother-in-law could greet him, Li Mubai directly said, "Auntie, Xiaoyue is in the kitchen. If you have something urgent, I can bring it to her."

Lin Meizhu snapped back to her senses and smiled, saying, "Oh, it's Mubai. No need, there's no urgent matter. I just wanted to ask if you two are free this weekend to come over for dinner. It's been a long time since we last met."

Li Mubai silently smiled.

He had guessed that someone from the Yun family would come looking for him these days, but he didn't expect it to be done in such a roundabout way.

Clearly, this old fox couldn't bear the trouble in front of her and wanted to ease the relationship with him, but she couldn't bring herself to do it directly, so she used Lin Meizhu as a pretext to invite him.

But, could he be so easily swayed without actually getting any delicious food?

"Sorry, Auntie, I have other plans this weekend. How about letting Xiaoyue go home first, and I'll find time another day."

"Ah? So busy..." Lin Meizhu was indeed disappointed, but she couldn't express her dissatisfaction. She could only politely say, "Then you go ahead with your business. When you two have time, come back."

Li Mubai naturally agreed.

"By the way, I just heard that you and Xiaoyue have moved to a hotel." Upon learning that this couple had moved to the China Resources Hotel, Lin Meizhu breathed a sigh of relief, but still had some concerns. She said, "Just now, don't blame Auntie for nagging. Xiaoyue has been independent since she was young, and sometimes she takes things too seriously. If you two have any conflicts in your life, try to bear with it more."

By asking him to bear with it, it was clear that she was asking him not to bully or mistreat her daughter.

"Don't worry, Auntie, we're doing well now. Xiaoyue is cooking for me in the kitchen." Li Mubai didn't care much, but considering Lin Meizhu's vanity and the fact that she rarely worried about her daughter, he kindly comforted her a few more words.

"That's good, that's good..." Lin Meizhu said with relief...

After chatting for a while, Li Mubai hung up the phone and looked at the business materials of the foundation on the table. He noticed the notes and markings, and smiled.

These days, he had been observing Yun Xiaoyue's work at the foundation.

She didn't disappoint him. The potential of this female lead was truly great. With a very serious attitude, she delved into every detail.

As long as he polished and guided her a bit more, she might be able to take on greater responsibilities.

At this moment, he heard some noise outside. He picked up his phone and walked out of the room, coming to the living room and saying, "Your mom just called."

Yun Xiaoyue directly pulled her head out from the apron she was wearing and saw Li Mubai sitting on the sofa again. She reached out and took the phone from him, asking, "What did she say?"

"She asked us to come over for dinner this weekend." Li Mubai continued to watch TV boredly. "But I refused."
