A whirlwind marriage! A billionaire CEO lives off his wife with great satisfaction.

Mu Gang got angry too.

He figured that given the close relationship he and his sister had shared since childhood, even if she didn't give him tens of thousands, she should at least give him ten or twenty thousand, so they would have money for their honeymoon.

I really didn't expect it.

Mu Mian will give five hundred yuan.

It would be better not to give it at all!

"Honey, calm down. We can talk about this later. We need to go out and offer toasts now. It'll be embarrassing if we make a scene here. Calm down, calm down..."

The wedding started.

There was no emcee or ceremony; it was just a simple meal between the two parties.

Mu Gang took his wife with him to toast the elders.

Mu Mian and Gu Xiangque did not leave either.

Although Mu Mian was angry, she knew her limits. If she left first, the relatives would start gossiping, and the Mu family would lose face. But she didn't enjoy the meal at all.

It made her realize many things.

You treat them like family, but they treat you like an ATM, even taking everything they ask for for granted.

Unfortunately, they are your closest relatives, with a blood tie that cannot be broken.

Ha ha.

Is it ridiculous?

The wedding is over.

The relatives have all gone back.

Mother Mu and the others also returned to the Mu family home.

And Mu Mian—

"What do you want to do?" Gu Xiangque asked.

He knew Mu Mian was upset.

"Let's go back to the Mu family," Mu Mian said.

She had been holding back to save face for everyone. But that doesn't mean she'll suffer in silence.

Some losses are acceptable, but others are not.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Gu Xiangque drove Mu Mian to Guangming Residential Area.

The car was parked right at the entrance of the apartment building.

Once she opens the car door, there's no turning back; the harmony of the past twenty-odd years will be shattered today.

"Have you thought about it?"

Gu Xiangque asked her.

He felt that Mu Mian was still hesitant; she valued family ties too much.

"I want to ask them about it."

"Do you want me to come up with you?"

"I'll handle it myself."

"I'll wait for you in the car. Call me if you can't figure it out."

Gu Xiangque placed his hand on Mu Mian's head and patted it lightly. For the first time, his eyes showed sympathy and heartache as he looked at her. "Don't forget you still have a husband." Don't shoulder everything by yourself.

"Ah."

Mu Mian went upstairs.

She bought this apartment when she was in college. There is no elevator, and her apartment is on the fifth floor, so she has to climb up one floor at a time.

As she walked down each floor, a light illuminated that floor for her.

And so, step by step, she didn't know how she got to the fifth floor. She had never thought that this stretch of road would be so difficult. She put her hand on the door lock and smiled.

Ha ha.

She almost forgot that the lock on the door had been changed, so she couldn't get in. She had to ring the doorbell like a stranger and get permission from the person inside before she could enter.

Ding dong.

Ding dong.

Ding dong.

Who is it?

The sister-in-law stood at the door and saw Mu Mian standing outside through the security camera on the door. "It's your sister. Why is she back? I haven't settled accounts with her for the wedding today."

She gave her older brother 500 yuan as a wedding gift.

How dare you come back now?

She doesn't consider herself part of this family, so we can't indulge her.

My sister-in-law opened the door, ready to yell at me.

Mu Mian ignored her and instead asked Mu Gang, "Where's Mom?"

Mu Gang pointed with his finger, "In the bedroom."

Mu Mian went to her mother's room.

"Mu Gang, why did you let her in? Mom is counting the money she received as gifts today in her room. Your sister is definitely coming back at this time to try and get the money. Are you stupid?" the sister-in-law yelled.

But Mu Gang saw through it.

He noticed that his sister's condition was not right.

Something wasn't right with me at the hotel today.

"I'll take you outside for a walk." Mu Gang led his wife away.

"What are you going to do? I'm not going..."

**

In Mu's mother's room.

Mu Mian walked in, her body like a walking corpse, her soul seemingly adrift. "Mianmian? Why are you back?"

Mu's mother hadn't finished counting the money yet.

She quickly tucked herself into the blanket.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

It doesn't look good.

Her face is so pale, could she be sick?

Mu's mother raised her hand to check Mu Mian's forehead temperature, but Mu Mian brushed it away with her hand. "Mom, can I ask you a question?"

Tears just started falling uncontrollably.

Mu Mian is usually quite strong and independent.

"what happened?"

Mu's mother was also frightened.

She rarely saw her daughter cry.

In her memory, her daughter was a child who rarely cried.

"Am I your and Dad's biological child?" Mu Mian asked.

She wanted to know if he was her biological child.

If she is his biological child, why has she received such different treatment from her brother since childhood?

Her brother can stay at home and live off his parents, but she needs to work hard.

Her brother always thought he was right, so she had to be careful to be the perfect child in other people's eyes.

She had worked hard to save money to buy the house, but because her brother was getting married, she had to move out. Her brother needed a dowry of 300,000 yuan, which her family couldn't afford, so she had to find a way to pay it.

Although her mother said she would return the house and money to her in the future, it was like a worthless check that could never be cashed. When it really came time to cash it, was she going to kick her family out and leave them to live on the streets?

Mu Mian isn't incapable of accepting losses, but only if her sacrifices are worthwhile and her family loves her.

She might have felt that her family loved her before, but lately she has increasingly felt that this is not the case, and that she is not important in this family.

"Of course."

Mu's mother didn't know why her daughter would suddenly ask these questions.

“You were born after your mother carried you for ten months, how could that be fake? Did someone joke that you were adopted? Mianmian, some people just love to tease children and say that you were adopted.”

When you were little, someone teased your brother, saying he was adopted. Your brother ran back crying and asked me, saying he wanted to do a paternity test.

Have you forgotten everything?

Mu Mian understood.

She choked up, "So, I am my parents' biological child."

"Of course he's my biological son."

Mu Mian's heart ached even more.

If it could be proven that she was adopted, she could at least comfort herself, because she was adopted and not their biological child, so it was normal for her parents to be biased. But her mother said she was their biological child.

Ha ha.

"So you think it's your right to get anything from me?"

"Mianmian, what do you mean by that?" asked Mu's mother.

"Mom, my sister-in-law said today that my brother bought this house and earned the bride price. You told her all this, right? You want to prove that my brother is successful and can support his wife."

Then let me ask you.

What are your thoughts?

Are you trying to maintain my brother's public image, or are you just sure I won't make a scene, and even if he can't pay back the house and the money, I won't have the nerve to ask him for it back?

Mother Mu: "..."
