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

Wu Jingyi asked doubtfully, "Brother Shaoqing, didn't you make this?"

Seeing this, Mu Xiaowan was afraid that Chu Shaoqing would continue to reveal flaws, so she quickly interrupted, "Shaoqing, it's normal that you don't know what happened after that. That day you made the wiring, and my custom-made casing came back, so I tried to put it in."

"I didn't expect my terrible skills to actually work; I managed to install it."

Chu Shaoqing realized what was going on and quickly said, "Oh, I knew it! Who could be more capable than me?"

"I won't argue with you this time. Just for this night light, it's absolutely unique in the provincial capital." Chu Zhihui couldn't put it down, turning the light on and off, liking it more and more as she looked at it.

What girl doesn't love things shaped like little dolls?

Mu Xiaowan said, "I forgot to mention, this can also be charged. I see a charging port on the bottom."

To cover up his lie, Chu Shaoqing carefully observed as Wu Jingyi turned the desk lamp around, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes, yes, I deliberately left a charging port so that it can store some power when it's plugged in."

"Yes, after all, using batteries is too wasteful."

After Chu Junbai brought his things back, he and Ye Jincheng stood by the counter listening to them talk.

Ye Jincheng pointed over to them and said in a low voice, "Your wife is really something. Although I wasn't here, I could tell that she was busy but organized and methodical today. But I think this lamp looks like it was made by her. Shaoqing seems like an outsider. I even suspect that Chu Shaoqing was dragged here by your wife to take the blame."

Chu Junbai looked at Mu Xiaowan, but he didn't take Ye Jincheng's words to heart.

If Mu Xiaowan really has such ability, she should just admit it openly. Why should she give up such a face-saving opportunity to others?

Everyone got ready and went out for dinner.

Mu Xiaowan didn't leave, so Chu Junbai stayed behind as well.

After Mu Xiaowan took the keys and went out, Chu Junbai followed.

Chu Junbai walked slowly, his eyes following Mu Xiaowan's steps. He noticed that Mu Xiaowan's gait was somewhat abnormal; even though she was walking slowly, she couldn't hide her limp.

"What's wrong with your feet?"

Mu Xiaowan heard the voices. Now she was the only one left. Chu Junbai was talking to her, but he didn't even bother to use a proper form of address.

"Oh, I've been walking back and forth all day, so I guess these shoes are rubbing my feet. It's not a big problem."

She should have bought a pair of cloth shoes or studded shoes back then; those kinds of shoes are very comfortable. She shouldn't have bought these warm leather shoes.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Chu Junbai didn't go in with them, but instead went to the affordable shoe store next door.

After Chu Junbai returned, he took advantage of everyone's inattention and handed the package wrapped in kraft paper to Mu Xiaowan under the table.

Mu Xiaowan looked at Chu Junbai with a puzzled expression.

Chu Junbai's expression became somewhat unnatural, and he looked away.

Seeing that he was still holding it up, Mu Xiaowan finally took it.

Since Chu Junbai didn't show it to everyone in public, she wouldn't open it; she'd look at it later.

However, she didn't believe this was a surprise Chu Junbai had bought for her. First, they had no feelings for each other. Second, Chu Junbai wasn't the type to give surprises.

Chu Junbai frowned when he saw Mu Xiaowan put the shoes wrapped in brown paper into her bag.

However, he did not make any move.

After they finished eating and returned home, their family members were still awake. Seeing the two of them come back together, Jiang Yinglan was very pleased.

"Have you eaten yet? We made dumplings this afternoon, and some of them were frozen, which makes them extra convenient to cook."

"I'm not eating, I've already eaten, I'm going upstairs to sleep." Chu Zhihui was practically crawling on the floor, and as she spoke, she had already reached the elevator.

Mu Xiaowan said, "Everyone was tired after a long day, so we took them out for hot pot."

Chu Junbai only remembered that he hadn't unloaded the things from the car when he saw his mother, so he went out again.

Jiang Yinglan suddenly remarked, "I suddenly realized today that our children have all grown up. They did a great job helping out today."

Jiang Yinglan originally wanted to praise Mu Xiaowan, but he felt that if he praised the children, the two elders would definitely be happy. Their own children were doing well, how could they not be happy as elders?

"That's right, those guys helped me a lot today. If it were just Shaoqing and me, we really wouldn't be able to handle it."

As expected, the old man echoed Jiang Yinglan's words, saying, "It was Xiaowan who provided the platform, and it's also because she taught them well. It's really good to let these children experience it."

"How was the business today?"

"Grandpa, today went well, it was better than expected. Even without counting the net profit, the gross profit was about three thousand. Some units have taken the goods but haven't paid yet, so we need to issue some receipts. I don't have any receipts, so we can only go to their finance department to collect the money after we get the receipts."

Chu Junbai glanced at Mu Xiaowan. If he remembered correctly, the profit margin Mu Xiaowan mentioned was completely different from what she had said in the shop earlier.

She did this to avoid confrontation.

However, she cleverly pointed out that the money hadn't been collected in some places.

Even if the elders find out from the child that it was five thousand, it doesn't matter. They will definitely think that Mu Xiaowan was just trying to take credit and that she didn't actually earn that much money.

"This business is doing quite well."

Grandma Chu, her face covered, said, "What's so great about it? Look at the two boxes Junbai is carrying; it seems Yinglan went to support him too."

"And I heard from our neighbors that the second son's family bought a lot of things today, bringing back box after box. This is all contributed by our own family, what's there to praise?"

That old lady is so unlikeable; she has to kick you a few times before she can feel at ease.

Mu Xiaowan naturally wouldn't directly retort; after all, if she persisted for three years, she would be someone else.

"As long as you can take money from other people's pockets and put it into your own, that's skillful, regardless of whose money it is."

The old lady was silenced by the old man's few words.

"Since you're not going to eat, then hurry upstairs, wash up, and get some rest."

The two then went upstairs.

After washing up, Mu Xiaowan remembered the thing Chu Junbai had given her.

She took out a brown paper bag from her bag, opened it, and found a pair of cloth warm shoes lying inside.

These shoes look comfortable.

Mu Xiaowan smiled, surprised that Chu Junbai was quite thoughtful.

She tried them on and they fit perfectly.

How did Chu Junbai know her shoe size?

She never told Chu Junbai this.

Mu Xiaowan placed the pair of cloth warm shoes under the coat rack by the door, intending to wear them tomorrow.

Mu Xiaowan sat on the bed and glanced at her foot. Unexpectedly, she had a large blister that was now pricking her with needles.

She didn't dare to pop the blister, as it would only hurt more.

She buryed her head in the sand, then simply gave up and went to bed, exhausted.

I was half asleep.

Chu Junbai is back.

Chu Junbai held a tube of ointment and placed it on Mu Xiaowan's bedside table.

Seeing that Mu Xiaowan was half asleep, Chu Junbai thought that if he just left her like this, she would definitely not know.

He then said, "There is medicine here."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "For wiping feet."
