Marrying a disabled man in exchange for a bride, the fake daughter had two children in three years

His relaxed posture made him seem like an old acquaintance of the Cheng family, and the old man laughed heartily at his pretentious remarks.

Cheng Fangfei looked at him with the innocent admiration of a young girl who had just fallen in love. "Brother Shi'an only knows how to tell jokes. I can't even count the number of girlfriends you've dated on my ten fingers."

Mu Shi'an tilted his head and smiled at her, his peach blossom eyes carrying a charming charm, "Then count with your toes."

Cheng Fangfei was so fascinated by his handsome and unruly appearance that her face turned red. She scolded him, "I can't even count on my toes. You're too fickle!"

Old Master Cheng smiled and said, "You and Shi Yan are only one year apart in age. He's already married, so it's time for you to settle down too."

Mu Shi'an sat down on the chair below Mu Shiyan, his posture a little casual and not as straight as Mu Shiyan's. "I will try my best to catch up with my cousin's progress."

Su Yunxi was not surprised by his tone of comparing himself with Mu Shiyan in everything. There were countless cases of brothers competing with each other.

Several more waves of guests came later, all of whom were familiar with Mu Shiyan. Su Yunxi was introduced to them and she handled them with ease.

The birthday banquet was not as grand as that of Mr. Ye, but the Cheng family also prepared it carefully. The banquet dishes were exquisite and rich, and the specially invited opera troupe had excellent singing and a unique artistic conception.

Su Yunxi sat at the main table with Mu Shiyan and Old Man Cheng, while Cheng Shuangxue, a member of the Cheng family, was arranged at another table.

When she arrived at the Cheng family, Su Yunxi clearly felt that the Cheng family's attitude towards Cheng Shuangxue was very cold, a kind of neglect that was different from the love they showed to Cheng Fangfei.

Su Yunxi was suspicious, but didn't dare to ask, because it was the Cheng family's affair after all.

Mu Shiyan took good care of Su Yunxi during the meal. He didn't forget to pick up some food for Su Yunxi even after the old man and others talked.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the couple had a good relationship and whispered about Su Yunxi's gossip.

Mu Shi'an did not sit at the main table, but sat at the same table with Cheng Shuangxue. Cheng Fangfei was a junior and did not squeeze the main table. In addition, she had some thoughts about Mu Shi'an, so she sat to the right of Mu Shi'an.

In this way, Mu Shian was caught between the two of them. Cheng Shuangxue was quiet and speechless, but Cheng Fangfei was very lively and kept talking to Mu Shian. Mu Shian was very indulgent towards her and dealt with her patiently.

Cheng Fangfei was called away by Madam Cheng, and Mu Shi'an finally found some peace. He tilted his head to look at Cheng Shuangxue, who was as quiet as if she didn't exist, and asked, "Is the food so delicious?"

Cheng Shuangxue looked at him and said, "It's delicious."

Mu Shi'an laughed meaningfully and approached her, "I thought you couldn't taste the food and couldn't eat!"

Cheng Shuangxue clearly saw the teasing and mockery in his eyes. In fact, she really didn't taste anything, but it would be even weirder to just sit there like a fool without eating.

She didn't say anything. Mu Shi'an touched her thigh and she stood up in shock.

The action was so abrupt that people at the entire table and even the neighboring tables looked at him suspiciously.

Cheng Shuangxue's expression was ugly for a moment. Madam Cheng came over and asked her, "Shuangxue, what's wrong?"

A lady from a noble family is very particular about etiquette, and the harsh sound of the chair scraping against the ground when she suddenly stood up seemed very rude.

"Maybe there are bugs. I'm afraid of bugs," Cheng Shuangxue found an appropriate reason.

It was originally outdoors. Although it was already autumn, there were many flowers, plants and trees in the garden, as well as many mosquitoes. Even if it was treated, some would inevitably slip through the net.

Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "You kid, you're so old and still afraid of bugs. You're making a fool of yourself."

Mu Shi'an's peach blossom eyes were full of smiles, and he said meaningfully: "Girls are more or less delicate, so it's not surprising that they are afraid of insects."

To outsiders, it seemed that he was helping Cheng Shuangxue out of trouble, but Cheng Shuangxue knew the hidden meaning in his words.

Compared to insects, she was more afraid of Mu Shian. He was a cold and poisonous snake.

Cheng Shuangxue took the opportunity to find an excuse to go to the bathroom and left the table calmly.

A small episode, but it drew people's attention to Cheng Shuangxue.

Someone whispered, "This Miss Cheng is the daughter of Mrs. Cheng and her ex-husband, not Mr. Cheng's biological child. She's usually very low-key. If you hadn't met her, you wouldn't know she's a member of the Cheng family."

The people nearby responded, "She doesn't have the blood of the Cheng family. The Cheng family is willing to accept her and let her change her surname to Cheng. They are already very tolerant of her! I heard that her biological father is a scumbag."

"Really? What's going on?"

"Her father was a domestic abuser and murderer, and he's still in jail!"

This person spoke in a serious manner, as if he knew all the secrets of the Cheng family.

She wanted to continue speaking, but she felt a sharp gaze falling on her. Meeting the man's gloomy expression, she shut her mouth immediately.

It was really impolite to discuss the Cheng family's right and wrong on the Cheng family's territory. Seeing that she didn't want to continue, they exchanged glances and stopped talking.

Cheng Fangfei returned to her seat and said in a contemptuous tone, "She's the only one who's making a fuss. She's just a bug. Is she really going to embarrass herself in front of the guests? She's just a rude and uneducated person at heart!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the wine glass fell on her skirt. She pulled up her skirt and stood up, but it was too late. The wine spread all over her body, leaving a wet mark.

She felt so distressed about the new dress she had bought at such a high price. A sorry voice came from the side, "Fang Fei, I'm sorry, I accidentally bumped into the wine glass. I'll compensate you with a dress."

It was Mu Shi'an who knocked over the wine glass, but it was Cheng Fangfei who made a fool of herself. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cheng Fangfei's ugly expression quickly changed and she became reasonable.

"It's okay, Brother Shian, you didn't mean it."

Wearing a dirty skirt was not only impolite but also uncomfortable, so Cheng Fangfei had to leave the table and change her clothes.

As soon as she left, everything was completely quiet.

Cheng Shuangxue didn't want to go back. She wanted to find a chance to talk to Mu Shiyan, but there were so many people around, and with Su Yunxi next to him, it was difficult for her to find a chance.

She was sitting absentmindedly on a rock beside the koi pond. Someone was approaching, but she didn't notice. She just felt someone push her and she fell directly into the pond.

She reacted a little late, struggling to float on the water, her face covered in water, looking miserable. Standing by the pool was Cheng Fangfei.

Cheng Fangfei looked down at Cheng Shuangxue and asked her arrogantly, "Are you trying to seduce Brother Shi An?"

Cheng Shuangxue frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Cheng Fangfei held a long stick in her hand and poked Cheng Shuangxue, "Brother Shi'an looks at you differently. Do you think I'm blind? He even spoke for you. If you two have no relationship, why would he speak for you?"

Wherever Mu Shian was, she would always follow him. She watched every move and every look of Mu Shian.

Cheng Shuangxue soaked in the water, her face cold, "You're asking me, why not ask him! Don't you know who I like?"

"I know!" Cheng Fangfei said confidently, "But he's already married, so it's impossible for him to marry you. Maybe you're just settling for second best. Anyway, you just want to marry into the Mu family. Brother Shi'an is also a member of the Mu family. Marrying him can make up for your regrets!"

Cheng Shuangxue sometimes admired her insight and rigorous logical thinking, even though she seemed impulsive and stupid most of the time.

"I don't have the habit of looking for substitutes," Cheng Shuangxue grabbed one end of the stick and pulled it hard.

Cheng Fangfei jumped straight into the pool, and Cheng Shuangxue swam to the shore and climbed out.

After getting ashore, I took two steps and saw Su Yunxi who had been standing by the rockery for who knows how long.
