Chapter 1 — Invincible Stepmother

When I was thirty years old, I finally saved up a million yuan. So, I waved my hand and quit my job! "Don't do it anymore! This lady wants to retire and take care of her old age!" My difficult boss — the person everyone calls an "administrative beast" — just slowly raised his head, eyes half-closed and half-open: "Let me introduce you to another job. No need to keep time, no need to go to work, monthly salary is a million." Hearing this, my eyes lit up like LED bulbs and I immediately agreed without thinking. It's just... I didn't expect that job to be... Becoming my boss's wife and stepmother to his three children. 1 “…Huh?” I stood in front of a luxurious villa like in a movie, my head dizzy, feeling like I had just been thrown straight into a role-playing game with no "rewind" button. I am thirty years old this year, and was originally just the secretary of general director Manh Canh Tu. Working day 007 — 0 hours at work, 0 hours off shift, 7 days/week. Big and small things in the company must all be arranged properly, because... the boss is extremely difficult. So, after buying a house and saving a million, I decided to quit my job. But at that moment, Manh Canh Tu spoke again: "I can introduce you to another job. No need to go to work, no need to keep track of time, high salary, you can work from home." “What job?” – I was wary but still asked. "It's not difficult, just keep an eye on my children, don't let anything happen to them. Anyway, it's a bit inconvenient to have no guardian at home." Hearing that, I was immediately moved. Just stay at home, no meetings, no reports, no boss nagging... who can say no? But I didn't expect this job to come with the clause of becoming his wife! But after thinking about it... I had to accept it, because the money was too much! He transferred three billion yuan directly into my account, one million each month for pocket expenses and other living expenses separately. It is said that there are three children in the house: • Manh Tu - 17 years old, in 11th grade, the real age of rebellion. • Manh Hanh – 13 years old, is at his most mischievous stage. • Manh Quang – 11 years old, in 5th grade, seems to be the "easiest target". I took a deep breath and told myself: "For the sake of a comfortable retirement, even if a volcano boils over, I still have to risk it!" 2 After parking the luxurious "steed" of the YADEA electric vehicle, I happily smiled as bright as a flower, pushed open the door and entered the house. Before he could react, a basin of water was thrown straight down from above his head. The water was horribly rotten, causing the makeup I had meticulously applied all morning to turn to ash. I tried to open my eyes, but before I could take a breath — a giant, colorful spider dropped from the ceiling and fell right in front of me! Out of breath, I took two more steps, then... "BAM!!!" The shiny marble floor... was smeared with oil and was as slippery as grease. I lost my balance and fell in pain, beautifully falling into a surreal performance. On the stairs, three children stood there laughing happily: "Don't think that by seducing the three of us, you can own this house. This is just a warning!" …Ha! I almost burst out laughing out of anger, it was really too funny to bear. I grabbed the remaining bucket of stinky water and threw it straight at the three kids. Then, before they could recover, they grabbed the colorful spider and stuffed it straight into Manh Quang's shirt. The boy screamed loudly, his face white sick: "Brother! Sister! Save me! Quickly save me!!" I slowly walked forward, kicked out my leg, and kicked all three of them to the floor. Oil was all over their clothes, they looked like three fish out of water. Manh Tu - the 17-year-old eldest sister, her face turned red with anger, screaming loudly: "You evil woman! I will tell dad! Let him kick you out of this house!" I shrugged my shoulders, my face calm as if I were discussing the weather: "Oh, it depends. Anyway, I accepted the three billion. At most, I don't need monthly pocket money, I still live healthy, live beautifully, and take care of my old age comfortably." 3 Entering the spare bedroom on the second floor, I almost thought I was walking into the wrong nobility. The room is vast, with a private dressing room and private bathroom. The wardrobe is filled with all the latest models of this season, handbags are also arranged shelf by compartment, each item costs the same as several months of my previous salary. "Is this... a noble lady's treatment? Oh my god, it's so luxurious!" I was as happy as a flag in my stomach, quickly showered, and then tried on each outfit one by one. Every time I wear it, I feel like a noble lady, wondering: "Wow, should retiring early be this happy?" What about those three difficult little devils downstairs? Sorry, not on my to-do list. It's okay to work, difficult things have ways to deal with difficult things. I didn't really come here to be a stepmother and take care of my children, I came here to... retire and take care of my old age! It's just a pity... I wanted to lie still but these three kids kept insisting on causing trouble. Early in the morning, they knocked loudly on my door, saying they wanted me to make a "breakfast of love" for them. Sorry, I'm busy sleeping! Last night I read novels all night long, slept like death, and didn't hear anything. Listening to the housekeeper, they went to school hungry. I smiled faintly: "Hey, everyone has a lot of pocket money, don't you know how to order food? If you don't buy it, then go hungry, who cares if you die?" At 12 midnight, Manh Tu knocked on the door and asked me to give a lesson: "Miss, this lesson is too difficult, please teach me!" Me: "I don't have time. Leave it there, if you get scolded in class tomorrow, you'll have to bear it." Manh Hanh would come over every three or five days: "I don't want to go to school today, can you write down the reason for my leave?" I ignored it, pretending to be deaf: "Yeah, you can just... ask for your bed." As for Manh Quang, the youngest child, his voice was soft and coy: "Miss, please take me to school~" I calmly waved my hand: "The housekeeper is free, please ask him to take me." The three children looked at each other in bewilderment: "Huh... does she really not want to please us?" Perhaps finding it difficult to anger me, they began to move on to a new plan. Whispering to each other, half-hidden and half-revealing: "First... pretend to be friendly, please her, wait for the right moment, then... the plan to eliminate the stepmother will start... Ha... ha... hah... ha..." The three kids sat with their heads together whispering to each other, letting out a series of "villainous laughter" that sent shivers down their spines: "Hehehe... just wait... the hateful stepmother... our plan is about to begin!" Plan 1: Ingratiating - Complete failure That evening, I was watching TV on the sofa, Manh Tu suddenly walked over with a glass of water, so polite that I thought she had lost her brain: "Drink... drink water." I glanced at the glass of water and flatly refused: "No, I like to drink soft drinks." 4 Manh Quang grinned and ran over, pretending to be obedient: "Miss, let me massage your feet!" I leaned forward to avoid it seriously: "Don't touch me, I'm ticklish." Manh Hanh didn't want to be outdone, picked up a piece of french fries, put it in my mouth: "Miss, eat a piece~"{Read full on Van Ha Tuong page} I frowned, my voice was as cold as ice: "Have you washed your hands? If not, then... it'll be dirty." The three children stood dumbfounded. The "friendly to please" plan failed miserably. At this moment, big words must be appearing in their heads: "This person... salt and oil will not enter!!" Plan 2: Use a third person to sabotage After being "friendly" failed, the three kids were quiet for two days and then started... a new plot. After all, their father is Manh Canh Tu's son, and he is both a single diamond, with both money and beauty, even though he has been married, he is still extremely expensive on the market. So, the three of them brought home a sour and shrewd girl, surely carefully selected with the criterion: causing trouble as quickly as possible. As soon as she walked in, she confidently stroked her newly permed hair, showed off her glittering stone-studded nails, and smiled contemptuously: "You are Manh Canh Tu's new wife? Do you look... that boring? You don't have a figure, and your beauty is nothing. Can he take you out? I'm dying of laughter! If you know better, then... divorce yourself." Oh, sorry, I'm taking care of my old age, but that doesn't mean letting people stand in front of you and point your nose at you to insult you! I worked as my boss's secretary for many years, dealing with dozens of dramas even bigger than this, something as small as her pink fingernail, as easy as breaking a toothpick. I grinned and said a fatal blow: "What's wrong, jealous? I can't help it, my husband just likes the natural type like me. He said that every day when he sees me eating and drinking, his heart is as happy as Tet, so happy that he cries. As for single people like you... it must be difficult to understand this happiness~" Having said that, I went even deeper, took out my phone and immediately called Manh Canh Tu, especially turning on the speakerphone so she could hear clearly. text: "Hello, dear husband~ There is a girl who came to my house to provoke me, and said that you don't love me. Tell her, am I the smallest treasure in your life?"
