The old lady smiled and said to Mingjing Shan, “Jingshan, we’re family now. Jingxing is a junior. You can just call him by his name. There’s no need to be reserved.” Mingjing Shan’s gaze was smiling, but he did not show it. He still looked at Liu Jingxing cautiously. “I’m afraid that’s not appropriate…”

Liu Jingxing nodded slightly and said, “You can call me Jingxing.”

Ming Jingshan was happy, but his expression did not change. “Aiya, it’s because my identity has suddenly changed. I haven’t had the time to get used to it. Jingxing, if Ming Yue makes you angry, tell me. I’ll help you discipline her.”

Ming Yue bit her lip. Her father’s words sounded really harsh.

Liu Jingxing’s eyes flashed with mockery. Ming Jingshan had worked for his family for many years, and Liu Jingxing knew him best. This was also one of the reasons why he did not even want to investigate what happened that night and directly blamed Ming Yue. He had known Butler Ming’s character from the very beginning, but he did not bother to take it seriously. However, this time, when he heard Ming Jingshan’s words, he was inexplicably unhappy. He did not understand. As a father, how could he say that his daughter was worthless just to please him? He glanced at him coldly and said indifferently, “Butler Ming, how do you want to discipline my wife?”

Ming Jingshan had worked for the Liu family for many years, so he could tell that the young master was unhappy. He quickly put on a smile. “I was just joking. You two should live your own lives happily.”

After the two of them sat down, they began to eat. The old madam kept asking Ming Yue questions, caring about every aspect of her daily life. No matter how she looked at this granddaughter-in-law, she was satisfied. She was obedient, sensible, and beautiful. After the meal, the old madam gave Ming Yue a card, saying that it was for her pocket money. No matter how she rejected it, she could not dissuade the old madam. Liu Jingxing glanced at it indifferently and said, “Grandma gave it to you, just accept it.”

Ming Yue had no choice but to keep it. However, she thought to herself that she would not spend the money in this bank card. However, the old madam smiled and said, “This card has a monthly limit of one million yuan. Yue Yue, you have to use up the limit.”

Ming Yue stood rooted to the ground. A shrewd glint flashed across Ming Jingshan and his wife’s eyes. Ming Yue immediately felt that Liu Jingxing was not wrong when he said that she was a country bumpkin. She was really inexperienced. Spending a million yuan a month? How was that possible? For the first time, Ming Yue felt that spending money was such a difficult thing

The card in her hand immediately made her feel a little pressured. “Grandma, this is too much…”

Unexpectedly, Old Madam Liu lowered her head halfway through her words. When she spoke again, her voice was filled with tears. “I have always treated you as my biological granddaughter. If you don’t listen to me, I will be very sad. Yue Yue, did I do something wrong that you won’t use my money? Just say it. I will change.”

“No, no, grandma, I didn’t mean that.” Ming Yue was so frightened by the other party’s pitiful accusation that she didn’t know what to do. She admitted that she was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. She really didn’t understand the world of the rich. Moreover, she and the young master weren’t really husband and wife.

She looked at Liu Jingxing anxiously, hoping that he could help persuade the old madam. In the end, Liu Jingxing did not even look at her. Instead, he said casually, “Just take it if it’s given to you. Otherwise, you will be reluctant to spend money on food or clothes. If word gets out in the future, people will think that our Liu family is abusing you.”

Ming Yue was stunned. Why was he not helping her?! This was his family’s money! It wasn’t like he didn’t know that the two of them were only married by agreement. Didn’t he use to say that she was a woman who would do anything to get to the top for money? Why did he act as if she didn’t know what was good for her if she didn’t spend his family’s money now?

Liu Jingxing did not know what Ming Yue was thinking. After saying that, he got up and went to the company. Ming Yue stayed to chat with the old madam at the old residence. The old madam had not seen Ming Yue for a long time and could not bear to let her go. Later, the driver at the old residence would send her home. He had to hurry to get back to work at the company, or he would have to work overtime again.

Ming Yue had no choice but to obediently accept the card from the old madam. Only then did the old madam let her go home. As she walked out of the old residence, she felt that the surrounding pedestrians seemed to be eyeing her covetously, coveting the million-dollar card in her arms.

The driver of the old residence was waiting by the roadside. Just as she was about to walk over and get into the car, she saw a dark and strong high school student carrying a school bag walking towards the old residence. He was tall and carried a basketball in his hand. It took her a glance to tell that he was someone who often exercised. It was her father and Auntie Lin’s son. His name was Ming Lang. He was a third-year high school student. He was 18 years old and practiced sports.
