Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

——The eighth day of the Lunar New Year

Chen Mu returned to W City early. He could no longer refuse the Guo family's Hongmen Banquet, and he didn't want his entire family to be ridiculed like him, so he came alone.

-Guo Family

Guo Shanshan got up.

"It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Guo Shanshan usually sleeps until she wakes up naturally, but today she got up at ten o'clock.

Guo Shanshan sighed, "I haven't seen Chen Mu for more than a week. I want to get up early and wait for him to come." She was afraid that Chen Mu was still angry.

After the engagement banquet on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the two never met again.

"Is it really impossible to get a private room today?" Could it be that his father didn't want to make one?

Zhan Chunmei shook her head. "Hotels are all fully booked these days. Make an appointment at least a week in advance, and see if there are any cancellations."

"But the three of us are just average cooks, which isn't a good idea." She usually eats nutritious meals for pregnant women.

Her parents specially asked someone to deliver three meals a day to her alone, right in their community.

Guo Xi and Zhan Chunmei were used to being fooled and could accept it now. Most of the time, the three of them ate out at cleaner restaurants.

Zhan Chunmei paused while wiping the table. "Don't worry, your dad knows what to do. He'll ask the restaurant to send two or three more dishes. Isn't it enough for him to just stir-fry two more dishes?"

Guo Shanshan nodded.

"Is he precious?" Guo Xi complained.

The first time I invited Chen Mu to our house for dinner, wasn’t it he who cooked three dishes and a soup, and did we enjoy the meal?

"Dad, can you please pay attention to your attitude? How can I get along with him in the future if you continue like this?" Guo Shanshan had been holding back these words for a long time.

"So what if our family is rich? We're not super wealthy. This money is all yours. Have you given me any? How can he benefit from it?"

Guo Xi was stunned for a moment. "I mean, we're all family from now on. There's no need to make any special arrangements. Do we have to treat you to three meals a day if you marry him?"

"What does this have to do with money?" He said a few harsh words after drinking too much, but he wasn't that neurotic.

-Outside the community

Chen Mu is already very familiar with the residential complex where the Guo family lives. Due to the special circumstances these days and the large number of people coming to pay New Year's greetings, all cars can be parked in the complex.

Most of them are short stops, no one stays for long, so there is no trouble.

He did the same and parked his newly bought car in a vacant space not far from the Guo family's apartment building.

Two cars had just come down from Unit 2 after paying New Year's greetings and were preparing to leave the complex, so there was just enough space.

He took out some New Year gifts from the trunk and carried them up.

Chen Xiaolong was still planning to give expensive gifts, but was rejected. Just give normal gifts. If he gave expensive gifts, Guo Xi would not be in a good mood.

——Guo family

Hearing the knock on the door, Guo Shanshan was about to open it, but was stopped by Zhan Chunmei.

"Just sit here, I'll go open the door." She was afraid that Guo Shanshan would do something in a hurry.

It makes me feel uneasy just looking at it.

Zhan Chunmei took the things from Chen Mu's hand with a smile on her face, "You kid, just come and eat. Why are you being so polite and buying so many things every time?"

"No, we are the younger generation. It is troublesome for you and uncle if we come here to pay New Year's greetings or have dinner. How can we come empty-handed? If we really come empty-handed, my parents will definitely say that I am not decent." Chen Mu's words were very smooth.

Not buying anything?

If I buy too little, you will laugh at me as ignorant country folk. If I buy too much, your family really can't afford it.

"Come in and put on some shoe covers." Zhan Chunmei pointed to the disposable shoe covers on the shoe cabinet.

Guo Shanshan frowned and said, "Mom, didn't I buy Chen Mu a new pair of slippers last time? Why didn't you take out the shoes?"

Zhan Chunmei said nonchalantly, "Your dad's shoes are not warm anymore, so I just put them on him first. I'll buy Xiaomu's shoes next time."

"How could you do this?" Guo Shanshan looked at Guo Xi, and it was indeed the pair of slippers she bought.

She originally wanted to give herself and Chen Mu a pair of new slippers, and now it’s done.

Zhan Chunmei nodded at her and turned to Chen Mu, saying, "Don't worry, Shanshan is naive and we've spoiled her. Now that she's pregnant, she has a bad temper. I was just like her when I was pregnant with Shanshan. You have to bear with her."

Chen Mu smiled wryly, "What's the big deal? I won't take it to heart."

"Uncle, Happy New Year." Chen Mu still greeted him politely.

Guo Xi nodded and said, "Sit down."

Guo Shanshan pulled Chen Mu to sit next to her and said, "You are so brave that you haven't come back for so long." She pretended to be angry.

Chen Mu said with a doting look on his face, "I've been a bit busy lately. Besides visiting relatives and friends and soliciting investment, I also found time to buy a car for my dad yesterday."

Hearing this, Guo Shanshan asked again, "You bought a car, and you didn't tell me about such a big thing?"

"Didn't you say yesterday afternoon that you wanted to play games and go to bed after you were done, and asked me not to disturb you? How could I have the chance to talk to you about buying a car?" Ha, the little money I have is worth their concern.

Guo Shanshan only knew that he earned money from investing to pay for tuition and living expenses, but she didn't know that he had earned a million.

He transferred the 30,000 yuan that Guo Shanshan had given him to Chen Xiaolong and also received a bag of equal value in return.

Guo Shanshan suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. It took Chen Mu an hour or two to drive here this morning. If he sent her a message or called her too early, she would definitely get angry.

"Having a car is also good. It can also take me to prenatal checkups. My parents have to work on weekdays."

It turned out that Guo Shanshan didn't take what he said to heart at all, and just made arrangements according to her own ideas.

This car was originally bought by Chen Xiaolong for occasional stocking, and also for picking up and dropping off Chen Xuyan every day.

He didn't want to see Chen Xiaolong squeeze into the subway every day, and being looked down upon when he took a relative's car when he returned to his hometown to show favors.

They said that it was useless for him to support his two children's education, and it would be better to send him to work earlier. Now he can build a house in the village like them and even has grandchildren.

Every time Chen Xiaolong just smiled and said nothing.

"My younger brother has tennis training every day, so it will be convenient for my dad to pick him up and drop him off, and it can also be used for household chores. Don't worry, I will buy another car for myself soon." Chen Mu was telling the truth, he also had to buy a car.

"During the prenatal checkup, if my dad's car isn't available, I'll ask him and my mom to accompany you. If he's busy, I'll take time off to go with you."

Guo Shanshan nodded and said, "I believe in you. Go for it."

Guo Xi disagreed, saying, "What's the big deal if we miss a day of training?" Buy another one? He was probably waiting for me to pay for it.

What a good idea! This is the plan.
