"Mu Xiaowan, my younger brother Yongsheng and Qingran have held their wedding, and they are now a legally married couple," He Yongli said with great pride.

Mu Xiaowan raised an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm playing on her lips: "Did they only have one meal for their wedding, without inviting anyone or having any guests?"

Unexpectedly, they actually got married, and everything went according to her plan.

He Yongli frowned and replied somewhat displeasedly, "None of that matters. What matters is the fact that they've become husband and wife."

Mu Xiaowan sneered, her eyes full of disdain: "You're really stupid. This is the Ge family leaving themselves a way out."

He Yongli's heart tightened, and a look of doubt appeared on her face: "What do you mean by that?"

Mu Xiaowan shook her head and slowly said, "What kind of family is the Ge family? How could they allow their daughter to marry someone with no future and no background? The reason Ge Qingran's father agreed to their marriage was because they had already registered their marriage. If he didn't agree, he would lose face. By holding a simple ceremony like this, outsiders won't be able to say anything when they get divorced."

Mu Xiaowan didn't have much time to do good deeds. She told He Yongli because she wanted him to pass on her message to He Yongsheng, hoping to get He Yongsheng and Ge Qingran to fight.

He Yongli was a little angry and retorted, "Don't talk nonsense. Qingran really likes my brother."

Mu Xiaowan snorted: "Sincerity? Do you think sincerity is worth anything?"

He Yongli's face turned red with anger, and she said loudly, "You're just jealous. You're jealous that my brother found happiness, and jealous that Ge Qingran married my brother."

Mu Xiaowan smiled coldly: "I'm jealous of him? I just don't want to see you kept in the dark."

He Yongli looked at Mu Xiaowan with suspicion, but she couldn't let Mu Xiaowan see it. "I think you're just trying to sow discord between them."

Mu Xiaowan looked at He Yongli and said coldly, "You trust the Ge family that much? Don't you think they're suspicious? Given their situation, even if they don't have relatives, they have comrades-in-arms. Why don't they ask for help?"

He Yongli gritted her teeth and said, "I believe Qingran, and I believe my brother. They are truly in love, and that's enough. Even if you slander my brother, the Ge family still managed to find him a formal job."

Unexpectedly, Chu Junbai was so efficient, and he got Ge Qingran's father to arrange a job for He Yongsheng so quickly.

"It's in the countryside, right? I'm guessing it's your hometown." Mu Xiaowan could tell from He Yongli's change in expression.

He Yongli asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"It's not hard to guess. If it were me, I would do the same. Send He Yongsheng to the countryside. That way, Ge Qingran and He Yongsheng will have less time together, and a lot of things will happen in between. After a while, it will be time to separate. Once the marriage is over, Ge Qingran will have no trouble finding a good family."

"No, Ge Qingran values ​​my brother." He Yongli's words lacked conviction.

Mu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "You're too naive. You'll find out the truth behind this marriage sooner or later." With that, she turned and left, leaving some things unsaid.

As He Yongli watched Mu Xiaowan's departing figure, the seed of doubt in her heart, once planted, would take root and sprout. Could it be that the Ge family was really doing all this as Mu Xiaowan said, in order to get rid of her brother in the future?

He Yongli returned home and told He Yongsheng everything Mu Xiaowan had said. Upon hearing this, He Yongsheng's face instantly turned gloomy. He went back into the house and looked at Ge Qingran, who was tidying up clothes, his eyes filled with anger.

"Qingran, are you hiding something from me?" He Yongsheng's tone was icy and his voice was deep.

Ge Qingran was bewildered by this sudden question. She stopped what she was doing and looked at He Yongsheng with a puzzled expression: "What is it?"

“Is your dad planning to kick me out, make it impossible for me to stay in the city, and then marry you off to someone else?” He Yongsheng shouted.

Ge Qingran's eyes widened instantly as she stared at He Yongsheng in disbelief, her face filled with shock and anger: "What nonsense are you talking about! How could my dad do this? We're already married."

He Yongsheng snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and said angrily, "Hmph, no wonder your dad didn't find me a job in the city, he wanted to kick me out."

"You're talking nonsense!" Ge Qingran retorted loudly, her face flushed with anger. "Do you think you can find a stable job with your current qualifications? It's hard to find even a job in the countryside, let alone the city. My dad pulled so many strings to get me a job as a mail carrier. You have no conscience."

"I have no conscience?" He Yongsheng laughed angrily, took a step forward, and stared directly at Ge Qingran. "Then come with me to the countryside. Do you dare?"

"Go to the countryside?" Ge Qingran thought it was a joke.

Her brows furrowed. "He Yongsheng, are you crazy? My current job pays well and offers great opportunities for advancement. Why should I go to the countryside? He Yongsheng, you can't be so selfish. You have to drag me down with you when you suffer."

Looking at Ge Qingran, who was both strange and familiar, He Yongsheng immediately realized that his sister was right; Ge Qingran and her family had long planned to abandon him.

Ge Qingran couldn't listen to He Yongsheng at all. She was agitated, her eyes were red, and her voice trembled as she said, "You are simply unreasonable! My father has done so much for us, yet you slander him like this."

The two argued back and forth, neither willing to give in. The argument grew louder and louder until finally He Yongsheng angrily turned and slammed the door shut as he stormed out, leaving Ge Qingran alone in the room crying.

……

With the opening of the business approaching, Chu Shaoze and An Muxue's wedding is also drawing near.

Mu Xiaowan finally understood what a marriage alliance between wealthy families was.

Bai Jiao'e dared not wrong An Muxue, so she prepared the best things for her.

People often bring things to our home.

The wedding was held in the old courtyard, and the new house was arranged in the newly purchased house.

However, a room was also prepared for them in the old house, which was Chu Shaoze's previous house.

Everything was replaced with new ones.

Compared to when she was young, it's like night and day.

Since her family had been busy these past few days, Mu Xiao'e naturally had a reason to stay and help.

However, Mu Xiaowan learned something else.

Mu Xiao'e also changed her household registration to urban.

It seems that this is why she agreed to Bai Jiao'e's request.

At that time, urban household registration was highly sought after, but only if one could establish a foothold in the city.

Mu Xiao'e is ambitious, but as long as she is content, she can make a living with her little bit of cleverness.

That day, Chu Shaoqing still hadn't arrived at the shop by noon.

Mu Xiaowan originally wanted to go to the warehouse to sort the goods, but she could only wait. Although the shop was not open, she was forced to open for business for the convenience of the people living nearby.

She was serving a customer when she heard the caterpillar hanging on the door say, "Welcome!"

She looked up and saw Chu Shaoqing enter through the door, his face full of anger.
