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

Before Mu Xiaowan could react, Liu Weiguo's wrist had already been grabbed by Chu Junbai.

Instantly, Chu Junbai exuded a bone-chilling coldness. The flames in his deep eyes were like oil splashed on them, yet they were covered by a layer of icy frost. Wherever his gaze swept, it seemed as if the air itself would freeze.

"Captain Chu, what are you doing?" Liu Weiguo asked innocently.

Chu Junbai remained silent, but his eyes exuded a strong sense of oppression.

Liu Weiguo pursed his lips before slowly saying, "Oh, sorry, I was abrupt. But Captain Chu, please don't misunderstand. Comrade Mu has a hair on his shoulder. I'm the kind of person who likes to dwell on details, and I feel very uncomfortable if I see it and don't deal with it."

"Captain Chu, please don't take offense!"

Chu Junbai then released his grip.

There really was a hair on Mu Xiaowan's shoulder.

Liu Weiguo's last move was an attempt to test Chu Junbai, and now he understands everything.

It seems the rumors are indeed unreliable.

Liu Weiguo is gone.

Chu Junbai's face remained gloomy.

Mu Xiaowan glanced at him; this person was acting strangely today.

She put the 1000 yuan into her pocket.

"Xiao Mu, Liu Weiguo is a businessman. No businessman is without guile. This is a huge sum of money. Aren't you afraid that Liu Weiguo will try to negotiate with you?"

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a solution." She had already devised equivalent terms, which is why she dared to accept such a large order.

Chu Junbai's eyebrows were furrowed high.

"Liu Weiguo is a very cunning person. He is very shrewd. Otherwise, how could he be ranked so highly in the provincial capital at such a young age?"

“His parents died early, leaving him to take care of his younger sister. He didn’t even go to university. If he didn’t have some ability and ruthlessness, how could he have gotten to where he is now? You have to be careful when doing business with him.”

"Ok!"

Chu Junbai looked at Mu Xiaowan, seemingly very worried.

He had initially thought that Mu Xiaowan would get drunk after drinking a couple of glasses of wine, especially since she had left with a strange man. He hadn't expected her to be so clear-headed.

……

Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, gently illuminating the large and luxurious wedding bed. An Muxue slowly awoke; Chu Shaoze was still fast asleep beside her. His profile, outlined in the morning light, was as gentle and refined as jade, not much less striking than Chu Junbai's.

But which one can be compared?

Her intimate relations with Chu Shaoze disgusted her, yet Chu Shaoze relentlessly demanded more, which was like hell for her.

When will these days end?

An Muxue sat dejectedly in front of her vanity for a while, then her eyes softened as she thought of Chu Junbai. She opened her jewelry box, carefully did her makeup, and put on a wool suit skirt, paired with ankle boots and a beret—export goods that Chu Shaoze had asked someone to buy for her. Standing gracefully beside Chu Shaoze, they looked like a match made in heaven.

The main hall of the Chu family was spacious and grand. The old master and matriarch of the Chu family sat in the highest seats, their expressions both dignified and kind. An Muxue and Chu Shaoze stepped forward together, preparing to offer tea to the two elders according to the Chu family's customs.

This situation was exactly the same as the day Mu Xiaowan served tea.

Moreover, they were all forced into marriage.

The only difference is that Chu Shaoze cherishes An Muxue dearly.

They signed contracts and "started working" instead.

An Muxue and Chu Shaoze knelt respectfully on the prayer mats, steadily holding the teacups in their hands and offering them to Old Master Chu and Old Madam Chu.

"Grandpa and Grandma, please have some tea." Their voices were clear and respectful.

Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu smiled with satisfaction. They took the teacups, took a sip, and then each picked up two thick red envelopes from the table and handed them to An Muxue and Chu Shaoze.

"Good child, I wish you and your husband a happy and harmonious life together, and that you will soon have a son." The old lady's voice was so kind and gentle.

An Muxue and Chu Shaoze quickly thanked them and accepted the red envelopes. Chu Shaoze looked very happy.

He then helped An Muxue to her feet.

Mu Xiaowan sat at the dining table, holding a glass of water, drinking it with a faint expression on her face.

When she served tea back then, she didn't even offer a penny, let alone a red envelope. Now, An Muxue has received such a generous gift; this differential treatment is undeniable proof of favoritism.

"We've prepared a new house for you here. Stay here often and keep Grandma company." The old lady especially liked An Muxue and held her hand tightly.

“Okay!” An Muxue glanced at Chu Junbai, seemingly casually.

During the meal, Chu Shaoze was called away by a phone call.

All I heard him say was something.

Mu Xiaowan remembered that she had overheard Chu Shaoze mentioning a piece of land one day. If she remembered correctly, the newspaper had reported that there were people willing to bid for the land, but now it seemed that something had changed.

As Mu Xiaowan was pondering a problem, a steamed bun suddenly appeared in front of her.

She looked up and saw that it was Chu Junbai, so she took it.

I took a big bite.

I had just finished eating the steamed bun when they handed me an egg.

Mu Xiaowan caught the egg again. She broke the egg in half, ate half the egg white, and then put the yolk of the other half of the egg on the small plate that Chu Junbai had handed over earlier. Then, she ate the egg white and he ate the egg yolk.

Mu Xiaowan didn't like to eat it before, but she forced herself to. Later, Chu Junbai noticed this and, in order to prevent her from being criticized, he asked her for the egg yolk.

After a while, she got used to doing it that way.

An Muxue sat at the dining table, her eyes fixed on the two people, her nails unconsciously digging into her palms.

I felt a churning in my stomach, and the food in my bowl instantly lost its flavor.

"Sister-in-law, why aren't you eating?" Mu Xiaowan asked with a faint smile, but in An Muxue's eyes, that smile was incredibly irritating.

"I'm not very hungry." An Muxue forced a stiff smile and replied perfunctorily, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Chu Junbai again.

Chu Junbai seemed oblivious to An Muxue's strange gaze and ladled another bowl of soup for Mu Xiaowan.

An Muxue felt as if a thousand needles were pricking her heart, causing her great pain.

Now, Mu Xiaowan, this unexpected troublemaker, has not only easily gained Chu Junbai's favor but has also become his sister-in-law. Every time An Muxue sees the two of them so close, the fire of jealousy in her heart burns fiercely, and she can't suppress it.

After finishing their meal, An Muxue saw that Chu Junbai was going to take Mu Xiaowan home. She quickly said, "Junbai, I'm going to town too, could you give me a ride?"

"Sister-in-law, you should stay home and keep Grandma company today. You're going back to your parents' home tomorrow. What kind of new bride runs off on her first day of marriage?" These were the words of Chu Shaoting.

"Second brother, can you give me a ride on my way to work?" Chu Shaoting, carrying a small leather bag and wearing high heels, quickened her pace as she walked towards the car.

"Take the bus yourself." Chu Junbai refused without making any excuses.

Chu Shaoqing was about to get into the car when Chu Junbai stopped him, saying, "A real man should exercise more. Go by bicycle."

Chu Shaoqing: "..."

"Hey, so only my second sister-in-law can sit here, right?"

Chu Junbai didn't care about any of that and started the car as soon as Mu Xiaowan got in.

Mu Xiaowan was somewhat proud.
