I Became the Male Lead’s Stepmother After Transmigrating

“But no matter how much Xiang Xiaoyuan hides her true nature, it has nothing to do with us.” Mrs. Zhang continued, “As long as she is Lu Wanggui’s wife, we have to keep her happy. If she wants to open a shop at the entrance of the residential area, we have to go and support her.”

This was the effect that Xiang Xiaoyuan wanted.

Most of the owners of Repulse Bay Villas were wealthy and had complicated interpersonal relationships. With Lu Wanggui’s current status, they only wanted to be on good terms with her and would not make things difficult for her. This had also laid the foundation for her to open a shop.

The first problem of finding customers had been resolved.

…

Xiang Xiaoyuan was dizzy as she noted down the important points when opening a shop. After she had decided on the interior design of the shop, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten something. Didn’t she have to report to Lu Wanggui about opening the shop?

Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed. This was the disadvantage of being married. She couldn’t do whatever she wanted. Even if she used her savings to open the shop and had nothing to do with Lu Wanggui, their status was not equal. If Lu Wanggui was angry that she made the decision on her own, her plan to open the shop would be completely disrupted.

This was the disadvantage of an unequal marriage.

Thinking of the limitations in her future life, Xiang Xiaoyuan collapsed on the sofa. She had lost all motivation. However, she quickly composed herself. After being a social butterfly for a long time, her ability to withstand pressure also increased. As long as she treated Lu Wanggui as her superior and reported to her superior, it would be fine.

All the best to Xiang Xiaoyuan!

After thinking this through, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s mood improved again. She went downstairs to find the butler and said, “Should I discuss it with Lu Wanggui… I mean, Lu Bei’s father about opening the shop?”

She didn’t know how to address Lu Wanggui. It seemed to be rude to directly address her “boss” by his name. If she were to call him something intimate, such as Wanggui… she wouldn’t be able to get over the weirdness in her heart.

Although she was a person who liked to meet people from everywhere, she was not so familiar with a strange man that she had never met before. So, after thinking about it, she decided to call him “Lu Bei’s father”.

Fortunately, the butler did not care about Xiang Xiaoyuan’s strange way of addressing him. Instead, he smiled and advised her, “At this time, the master should be up.”

Lu Wanggui’s was in a country of a different timezone. The butler meant that it was just the right time to call Lu Wanggui. It would not affect Lu Wanggui’s work.

After understanding the meaning behind the butler’s words, Xiang Xiaoyuan agreed, “Okay. Thank you, butler.”

The butler was very surprised.

From Xiang Xiaoyuan saying that she wanted to open a shop, to making all sorts of arrangements in a hurry, to taking the initiative to call her husband, none of these were like his wife’s personality. In the butler’s impression, Xiang Xiaoyuan was very quiet, even a little introverted, and did not like to communicate with others, causing many servants to often forget that there was a mistress at home.

The housekeeper did not say it, but in his heart, he could not help but wonder, why did their master marry such a wife? With his power and position, he did not need to use marriage to strengthen his own power, so his wife need not have a good family background, or did she have to be good at communicating with others, but she also should not be as timid as Xiang Xiaoyuan. Standing next to the master, it was difficult for people to say that they suit each other.

It was not that the wife was too ugly, she was very beautiful, but she did not suit him. They seemed to be very incompatible. The housekeeper had once wondered what the master liked about his wife, which was why he would marry her in a flash..

It was not until he interacted with the current Xiang Xiaoyuan that the butler wondered, perhaps it was because the wife had just arrived at the Lu family and felt uncomfortable, so she was not being herself. Now that she was familiar with it, she revealed her true nature?

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not know how much impact her actions today had had on the butler. She went upstairs to the master bedroom and dialed Lu Wanggui’s number in her phone contact list.

The moment the contact appeared, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s mind was filled with questions.

[ Mr. Lu? ]

Xiang Xiaoyuan addressed Lu Wanggui so formally? Or was this a private affair between the two of them? Did he like the way they addressed each other?

But none of this had anything to do with her. Xiang Xiaoyuan waited for the call to go through.

…

In the high-end presidential suite of a foreign hotel.

Lu Wanggui came out of the bathroom. While he was washing his face, there were a few more work emails on his phone that he needed to deal with personally. As soon as he finished replying to the emails, he received a call from his assistant.

He already knew what Lu Bei had done. He had caused a lot of trouble since he was young and Lu Wanggui was able to handle it with ease. Many people said that children were so stubborn that they should be controlled. However, Lu Wanggui felt that his son was not a bad person. He never took the initiative to cause trouble. It was just that he was too young, and it was easy for him to be impulsive when solving problems.

However, this was not a bad thing.. A boy should have some courage.
