The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry

Chu Mu was suddenly inspired by this. She paused, her face adorable, and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, sister-in-law. Yichen and I will have a baby soon. I guarantee you'll have a grandson within a year."

"You are truly our good daughter-in-law. Eat more," said Mrs. Yi, picking up a piece of abalone and giving it to Chu Mu. Mr. Yi also hurriedly ordered the kitchen to quickly prepare a bowl of bird's nest for her to nourish her body.

But it wasn't enough. Old Madam Yi took Chu Mu's hand and put the glass jadeite worth a million dollars on her wrist. "This is a little gift from Mom."

The bracelet was an heirloom passed down from the Yi family and given to the daughter-in-law.

"I can't accept this," Chu Mu declined. After all, his marriage to Yi Yichen was in name only. The two sisters-in-law at the table had been married into the Yi family for over twenty years; they were the true wives of the Yi family.

"If you don't accept it, could it be that you don't want to give birth to a grandson for me?" Old Mrs. Yi's face darkened.

Chu Mu was stunned and looked at Yi Yichen for help.

Old Madam Yi's eyes clenched, and she scolded Yi Yichen, "Could it be that you, a scoundrel, don't want to have children?"

Yi Yichen straightened up slightly, picked up a piece of Australian lobster and put it into Old Lady Yi's bowl. He didn't continue the conversation: "Mom, please eat more. Today's Australian lobsters were just airlifted in from Australia. They are very fresh."

"You interrupt as soon as the child is mentioned." Old Mrs. Yi scolded.

Chu Mu looked at Yi Yichen calmly. He looked relaxed, but there was clearly a hint of anger in his eyes. She knew she had just said the wrong thing.

Not daring to speak anymore, Chu Mu lowered his head and ate the food on the plate in silence.

Old Master Yi looked at the strangeness between the two people at the dinner table and frowned slightly. He withdrew his gaze and said sternly, "They have only been married for half a year. It's okay to postpone the matter of having a child."

When Mr. Yi spoke, no one could say anything more. The topic came to an abrupt end.

But the conversation always focused on Chu Mu and Yi Yichen. Chu Mu responded appropriately, and his every question and answer showed his good manners.

Seeing Chu Mu socializing effortlessly at the dinner table, Lin Jiaojiao felt a sour taste in her heart.

The bracelet on Chu Mu's wrist was even more eye-catching.

She held Yi Fengteng's hand under the table, tears welling in her eyes, but she didn't dare to let them fall. This made Yi Fengteng feel heartbroken.

If Chu Mu hadn't suddenly appeared, Jiaojiao would definitely be the one being pampered at the dinner table.

They couldn't see that Jiaojiao was so innocent and kind. Chu Mu was full of scheming, but everyone liked him very much. Even Zhang Tingyu had a look of approval on his face. He really wanted to kick Chu Mu out of the Yi family immediately.

Furious, he suddenly stood up and pointed at Chu Mu: "Stop acting! You are not my uncle's wife at all, you are his secretary."

Old Master Yi looked at the person involved in the incident in confusion.

Yi Yichen's expression turned cold, his entire body as frosty as ice. The atmosphere suddenly froze, and everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Seeing this, Zhang Tingyu tugged at his son's clothes and said in a low voice, "Feng Teng, what are you doing?"

Could Yi Yichen be someone he'd offended? Even if he brought back a beggar today, everyone present would have to acknowledge him. It's okay for him to be playful on weekdays, but how could he behave so inappropriately in such an occasion?

If Yi Yichen blamed them, the second branch would suffer. But on closer inspection, although Yi Fengteng was willful, he was definitely not an ignorant child.

She turned her gaze to Lin Jiaojiao who was sitting next to her, with a hint of secret joy hidden in her innocent eyes.

It must have been this woman who instigated it.

With anger boiling in his chest, Zhang Tingyu glared at Lin Jiaojiao.

Lin Jiaojiao turned away guiltily.

It would be bad for everyone if he continued to investigate, so Zhang Tingyu had no choice but to push Yi Fengteng to apologize to Yi Yichen: "Apologize to your uncle!"

"Why should I apologize? What I said is all true." Yi Fengteng pushed Zhang Tingyu away.

Lin Jiaojiao, who was standing by, said in a weak voice, "I can testify that what Feng Teng said is true."

This woman dared to exaggerate, and Zhang Tingyu roared: "What do you have to do here? Get out of here right now."

Lin Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said nothing, tears welling up in her eyes for a long time but never falling.

Lin Jiaojiao always liked to play the weakling to gain sympathy, especially now that she looked so wronged. From childhood to adulthood, Chu Mu had suffered countless injustices because of this expression of hers.

Chu Mu also saw her little movements under the table just now, but she said nothing.

"Yichen, what is going on?" Old Master Yi asked in a deep voice. The silence at the table was terrifying. Everyone kept silent, including Yi Fengteng.
