A scumbag man trying to climb the social ladder? She turns around and marries a celibate military of

Because of her past life's work, Mu Xiaowan was always wary, even when dealing with business partners, let alone someone who was constantly causing her trouble.

She had prepared herself when Chu Shaoting made her move, intending to pull back, but found that there was no movement.

A cold voice rang out from above the two of them, "No manners, no respect for elders, is this how your second aunt raised you?"

Mu Xiaowan felt a chill run down her spine.

Chu Junbai?

When did he stand behind them?

Did he hear what she just said?

Mu Xiaowan quickly recalled what she had just said.

That idiot Chu Shaoting, she should know that An Muxue likes Chu Junbai!

She wanted An Muxue to marry her brother, but she couldn't bear to see her doing well.

If Chu Shaoting were even slightly smarter, she should let An Muxue marry Chu Junbai peacefully and give up on her feelings.

She was already struggling to survive in the Chu family, so she didn't want to always deal with these brainless people.

She decided to make things clear at once, hoping to put Chu Shaoting at ease.

So, she deliberately said some things to provoke Chu Shaoting.

If Chu Junbai overhears this and misunderstands, then it will be troublesome.

Chu Junbai could directly determine whether she would be happy for the next three years. She wasn't asking Chu Junbai for affection. She hoped he would protect her, allowing her to live peacefully and freely, doing her own thing.

"Second...Second Brother!" Chu Shaoting was also frightened, and her voice stammered.

“We’ve already registered our marriage. Whether we have a wedding or not, she’s still your second sister-in-law. If you don’t even understand basic respect for elders, then I don’t mind having Grandma teach you herself.”

Grandma Chu Shaoting has very traditional views. Not only does she favor boys over girls, she also holds the idea of ​​male superiority and female inferiority. In particular, she believes that girls must be well-behaved and polite, otherwise they are considered ill-mannered.

Chu Shaoting was so frightened that she shook her head repeatedly.

If this gets back to Grandma, she'll definitely think her mom didn't raise her properly. If her mom gets called in for a lecture, she'll definitely get scolded and might even lose her allowance, meaning she won't be able to buy pretty clothes and jewelry.

"Second brother, it's not my fault, it's her. She bumped into me and it hurt so much I almost couldn't breathe. I wanted her to apologize, but she just mocked me. You know our family rules are strict. I was just trying to remind her to avoid making the same mistake again."

"It seems you didn't mean to disrespect your second sister-in-law. Since that's the case, apologize to her and let's call it a day."

"Ah? Second brother, I..."

Chu Shaoting wanted to argue, but seeing her second brother's gloomy eyes, she knew she was in the wrong and squeezed out three words through gritted teeth, "I'm sorry!"

Is my second brother deaf?

She clearly said it was Mu Xiaowan's fault, so why is she being asked to apologize?

Did he see the whole thing when she blocked Mu Xiaowan?

Chu Junbai released his hand.

Chu Shaoting rubbed her wrist and ran away.

Mu Xiaowan didn't have pajamas. There were many people in her house, especially other men, so she put on her clothes as soon as she woke up.

She had just washed her face; her cheeks were clean and glowing, and her bangs were wet.

She blinked her large, clear eyes and whispered, "Thank you!"

But then he heard Chu Junbai say sarcastically, "It seems you're in Cao's camp but your heart is with Han."

"what?"

"It seems you don't know what you want yet. Come find me when you've thought it through, and you might get more from me."

Chu Junbai said all he had to say.

He bypassed Mu Xiaowan and went into the washroom.

As the door closed, Mu Xiaowan's heart sank.

What does Chu Junbai mean by this?

Could it be that there's some misunderstanding?

As Mu Xiaowan went downstairs, she was still thinking about which of her words had caused Chu Junbai to misunderstand.

What did Chu Junbai want her to think about?

"Mu Xiaowan!"

The sudden approaching sound startled Mu Xiaowan, and she instinctively threw a punch.

Unexpectedly, her hand was easily grabbed.

It seems that even if she had the will, the original owner's weak body was no threat at all.

"Sister-in-law, why did you hit me so hard? You punched me right in the face. If it weren't for the training my grandfather gave me since I was a child, you would have punched me right in the face."

Mu Xiaowan then realized it was Chu Shaoqing.

What's wrong with this kid?

They're clearly from the second wife's family, so why do they act so heartless?

Well, with his lazy demeanor, how could he possibly notice the struggles between adults, let alone participate?

"Chu Shaoqing, what are you doing?"

Chu Junbai went to get the newspaper from the newspaper box, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Chu Shaoqing's large hand wrapped around Mu Xiaowan's hand.

This guy is really obsessed with Mu Xiaowan's hands. Yesterday he asked her to help him buy gloves, and today the two of them are doing such intimate things?

Chu Shaoqing quickly let go and explained, "Oh, Second Brother, I need to talk to Sister-in-law about something."

"Come out with me first."

Chu Junbai placed the newspaper on the coffee table and walked out.

Chu Shaoqing didn't dare to delay and quickly followed.

As he was leaving, he turned back to Mu Xiaowan and said, "Sister-in-law, wait a moment, I really need to talk to you about something."

Outside the door, Chu Junbai stood in the center of the courtyard.

They live in a detached villa with a large yard.

He wasn't even wearing a coat, just a knitted sweater, and his nose turned red from the cold in less than a minute.

"Brother, why can't you say it at home? It's so cold here."

Chu Shaoqing had taken off his down jacket as soon as he entered the room. Now he was wearing a sweater, and he was shivering from the cold.

"I'm asking you, how did you meet Mu Xiaowan?"

"Is that all you're asking?" Chu Shaoqing scrutinized Chu Junbai, as if trying to get a good look at the older brother in front of him.

"Second brother, there are two versions of the rumors about your marriage to sister-in-law. One is that you slept with her long ago and that you have real feelings for her. Regardless of whether others saw it or not, you will still marry her."

The rumors circulating outside were far less flattering than his own. They said his brother was a hypocrite who would never have married a country girl if he hadn't been caught red-handed, and that he was just a womanizer.

He didn't believe it; his second brother wasn't that kind of person.

"Another version is that your sister-in-law took a liking to your status, so she became attached to you. The incident happened suddenly, and you had no choice but to marry her."

"When I first heard this rumor, my first thought was that your sister-in-law must be clinging to you. You're not the kind of person who would do something so frivolous."

“But now I’ve overturned that idea. I’ll choose the first version, you like your sister-in-law.”

"But second brother, to be honest, I think you made a good choice in marrying your sister-in-law. She's much better than that eldest daughter of the An family. Although she's from the countryside, she's not simple; she's very capable."

"Although your sister-in-law's family background is not good enough for you, and she doesn't have a job, she is beautiful and your looks are a good match. Besides, she is different from other country girls."

Chu Shaoqing leaned closer to Chu Junbai and whispered, "Your sister-in-law is amazing. You haven't seen what she's capable of."
