Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

Jiang Lan and Mu Chen stayed at the Mu family home for two days. During those two days, Mu Chen barely had a chance to speak to his girlfriend alone, as his mother and sister were always trying to steal her away from him.

They could talk about anything from hobbies to clothes and jewelry, and then to their favorite idols. For the entire afternoon, he couldn't get a word in edgewise and was even disliked.

After lunch on the weekend, Mu Chen made an excuse to leave with his girlfriend.

"Mom and Dad, I have some things to take care of at the company, so I have to go there now. Lanlan and I will come back to see you next time."

"Brother, you can go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll take Sister Jiang Lan home in a bit," Mu Ting said.

Just as Mu's mother was about to nod in agreement, she looked up and saw her son's resentful gaze. She changed her words, "The weather forecast says it will rain this afternoon. It's better if you go home early."

Before leaving, Mu's mother placed a jewelry box and a thick red envelope in Jiang Lan's hands, saying, "Xiao Lan, this is a gift that your aunt and uncle prepared for you. We hope you like it."

Jiang Lan accepted the necklace with both hands and took it out of the jewelry box, letting Mu Chen put it on her. "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt, I really like the necklace."

"I'm glad Xiao Lan likes it." Mother Mu was overjoyed as she watched Jiang Lan put on the necklace she had chosen. She was growing to like this daughter-in-law more and more.

Jiang Lan sat in the car, playing with the red envelope in her hand. Judging by its thickness, it must contain tens of thousands of yuan!

"Want to open it and take a look?" Mu Chen suggested, seeing her playing with the red envelope.

“Okay.” Jiang Lan opened the red envelope and emptied its contents.

A stack of hundred-yuan bills, and a single one-yuan bill.

Is this what people online mean by "one in ten thousand"?

I used to watch these kinds of videos simply because I found them interesting and the messages they conveyed were meaningful.

Now, however, I feel a sense of joy at being accepted by my in-laws.

Mu Chen knew the meaning behind the red envelope, after all, his parents had asked for his opinion beforehand, worried that simply giving a red envelope would seem like they didn't value him, and so on.

"Are we going to your company?" Jiang Lan looked at the route and felt that it didn't seem to be the way home.

"Don't go to the company, come to my place for a while, I'll take you home tonight," Mu Chen said.

"Okay!" Jiang Lan nodded. Anywhere is fine with me!

Mu Chen's house is near his company; it's a 140-square-meter, four-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, and she's been there many times.

After all, they've been together for so many years and are both adults; they've naturally done everything that couples do.

As soon as they entered, Jiang Lan hadn't even had time to change her shoes when Mu Chen picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. Like dry wood meeting a raging fire, the two kissed passionately and were inseparable.

When the two of them came out of the bedroom again, it was already evening. If it weren't for Mr. Jiang calling several times to urge them, they probably would have been gone for much longer.

"I really want to marry you as soon as possible." Mu Chen hugged his girlfriend tightly, reluctant to let go, but he couldn't disobey his future father-in-law.

"I'm waiting for you to come and marry me."

Jiang Lan patted Mu Chen, signaling him to let go. After all, it felt awkward to be hugging and kissing on the main street with cars coming and going.

"I'm afraid I'll make you feel bad." Mu Chen wanted to give her something better, but the company was just starting out, and he was afraid he would make her feel bad.

Jiang Lan touched the man's face and said with a smile, "As long as I'm with you, I won't feel wronged."

Mu Chen didn't speak, but looked at Jiang Lan for a long time before gently kissing her forehead. "Okay, let's get married."

Two weeks later, Jiang Lan came home from get off work and found her parents studying the old almanac in the living room. After asking them, she learned that her parents had met with the Mu family elders and discussed the wedding arrangements. The wedding date was set for May 2nd, three months later.

So fast?

Is she getting married?

How come she seems to be the last one to know?

When the two families meet, doesn't she, as the bride-to-be, need to accompany them?

"Mom and Dad, how come I didn't know you two met?"

"Xiao Mu said she has a surprise for you, but she doesn't want us to tell you," Jiang's mother said without looking up. She needed to check what May 2nd was like.

In the days that followed, Jiang Lan only went to take wedding photos and try on wedding dresses herself. Everything else was handled by Mu Chen and both sets of parents, so she didn't have to worry about anything.

On the eve of their wedding, Jiang Lan learned that Mu Chen had signed a gift agreement, transferring all his shares, funds, and real estate to her. Now, Mu Chen was essentially working for her without receiving a single penny in salary.

Jiang Lan was deeply moved. This fool, isn't he afraid that he'll only want the money and not the person?

Even after marriage, Jiang Lan remained carefree, taking it easy at work, hanging out with her girlfriends after get off work, and then waiting for her husband to pick her up and take her home.

On weekends, the couple would go back to visit each other's parents, have a meal with them, and if they had time, they would also take them on trips to see different places.

In the third year of their marriage, Jiang Lan became pregnant, and immediately received attention from both sets of parents, who came to visit her with gifts and concern.

Both sets of parents wanted them to go back to live with them, but Jiang Lan and Mu Chen refused. Jiang's mother was worried and went to visit her daughter every day.

Mu's mother was not to be outdone. Because she had to work during the day, she would rush to the young couple's house with all sorts of things that Jiang Lan liked as soon as she got off work.

They refused to stay, and came almost every day.

After a month, Jiang Lan and Mu Chen watched as Mu's mother became noticeably thinner than before, but her spirits seemed to have improved.

Finally, Mu Chen spent a lot of money to buy a villa next to the Jiang family's house, and the whole family moved in.

Originally, Mu's parents were reluctant to move. After all, they had lived in the old house for decades and were familiar with all the neighbors. Moving to a strange place would mean everything would be unfamiliar.

But the thought of a little one being born soon made them immediately forget all their reluctance from the previous second.

A few months later, Jiang Lan gave birth to twin sons.

Mu Chen named them: the eldest son was Jiangxi Rui, and the second son was Mu Xilin.

One took the mother's surname, and the other took the father's surname.

When Mu's parents heard this, they didn't show the slightest reluctance on their faces, because they felt it was only natural for the child to take the mother's surname.

After all, every child is brought to life by their mother.

No matter what the child's surname is, they are all their precious grandchildren.

With two more children in the family, Mu's mother submitted her resignation early to stay home and take care of the children.

Since Jiang Lan became pregnant, Jiang's mother has stopped accompanying Jiang's father to the company and instead spends her days with her daughter. Now, she has been taking care of her grandson instead of her daughter.

Jiang Lan started to feel a little jealous because her mother kept calling her "my darling" all the time. She stopped thinking about her mother's only precious child.

When the two children were ten years old, Jiang Lan took over her father's position and became the president of Jiang's Group. At first, there were some doubts, but after seeing the benefits she brought to the company, the shareholders naturally stopped opposing her.

As for the Jiang family's arch-enemy, he went bankrupt two years ago under pressure from the Jiang Group and eventually jumped to his death under the pressure of his creditors.

Jiang Lan has always hoped that her children would grow up and take over their positions so that they could have time to go out and see the world.

After a long and arduous wait, the eldest son, Jiangxi Rui, took over the Jiang Group, just as his parents had hoped.

The second son, Mu Xilin, is determined to enter the entertainment industry and become the brightest star on stage.

After several unsuccessful attempts to persuade him, Jiang Lan and Mu Chen had no choice but to let him go.

However, a condition was also set: regardless of success or failure, he must return to take over the company after his thirtieth birthday.

Mu Xilin readily agreed to his parents' conditions. If he couldn't complete them in seven years, there was no reason for him to continue.

Jiang Lan privately spoke with her eldest son and Mu Chen, forbidding them from helping the second son, that brat, and telling him to suffer a bit so he would know his place.

Who would have thought that Jiang Lan was wrong this time? Mu Xilin only took three years to go from a complete nobody to one of the most popular male stars. In the same year, he also won the Best Actor Award and the Best Supporting Actor Award.

Mu Xilin announced his retirement from the entertainment industry at the age of 28, when he was at the height of his popularity.

His fans cried, leaving messages begging him not to retire from the entertainment industry, and to rest for a while if he was tired, but not to leave.

In the end, Mu Xilin had no choice but to tell the truth: he had made an agreement with his family that he would return home to inherit the family business, but he would no longer act.

One year, not long after Jiang Lan took over the company, she went on a business trip to City B and ran into Xu Chen outside the airport. He was snuggling up to a woman who was much older than him, smiling obsequiously. When he saw her, his smile visibly paused for a moment before returning to normal.

Jiang Lan glanced at it briefly before getting into her car and leaving.

In this world, Jiang Lan lived to be eighty years old. After Mu Chen passed away, she followed him. Ping An never appeared.
