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

He ran a few steps before he saw the license plate number.

Unexpectedly, it was Liu Weiguo.

Why did Mu Xiaowan go out with him?

Is this home?

Ye Jincheng looked at the chestnuts in his hand. He had bought them earlier that day while patrolling the streets from a disabled old man selling chestnuts. Feeling sorry for him, he bought some, but finding peeling them too troublesome, he decided to bring them to Mu Xiaowan. It seemed he wouldn't be able to give them away.

After getting out of the car, Mu Xiaowan didn't even look at the restaurant's name and followed Liu Weiguo into the restaurant. As night fell, the temperature plummeted, and it was no exaggeration to describe it as freezing cold.

It wasn't until she entered the restaurant and saw its tasteful and elegant decor, along with the knives and forks used by the other diners, that she realized Liu Weiguo had brought her to a Western restaurant.

On the way here, he let Liu Weiguo choose his own restaurant, and Liu Weiguo had a rather unique one in mind.

I never imagined that development would be so rapid after the reform and opening up, and even Western restaurants have opened.

The restaurant also has a pianist; it's hard to imagine that such a unique place could exist in this drab era.

"Mr. Liu!"

The waiter greeted Liu Weiguo warmly, clearly recognizing him as a regular customer.

Indeed, in such an elegant place, a dish must be expensive; how could the average person afford it?

"Mr. Liu, your private room is ready."

The two followed the waiter into a private room and sat down.

Liu Weiguo is a very thoughtful person. She asked the waiter to give Mu Xiaowan a menu with pictures so she could order.

Mu Xiaowan took the food and handed it to Liu Weiguo, saying, "Mr. Liu, please do it. This is my first time in a place like this, how would I know anything about the dishes?"

Where had the original owner ever seen these things?

Liu Weiguo looked at Mu Xiaowan. She was sincere, and that sincerity was truly precious.

"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony. Here we have Russian cuisine, English cuisine, French cuisine, and Western cuisine with Chinese flavors."

I didn't expect that the Western food here is actually Western cuisine; calling it that doesn't make any problem.

"Either is fine, I can accept either."

Liu Weiguo took the menu and handed it directly to the waiter, saying, "Red wine steak, well-done, not bloody; tomato meat sauce spaghetti, creamy corn chowder, fruit salad, grilled clams, and grilled salmon with cheese, two servings of each of the first four."

"Bring a few more varieties of desserts from here later."

Mu Xiaowan was indeed hungry, but she couldn't finish all of this. "Mr. Liu, this is too much. It'll be a waste if we can't finish it!"

"Take away any leftovers!"

"drink wine?"

Liu Weiguo was quite a gentleman.

It would be a waste to eat steak without some red wine, she thought. She glanced at the menu and saw that every item was quite expensive!

Forget it, I'll grit my teeth and be generous this once.

"Okay, give me some!"

"Bring me a bottle of your smooth, low-alcohol red wine."

Mu Xiaowan could tell that Liu Weiguo took good care of her.

But perhaps because this person is too decisive in doing business, he gives people an uncomfortable feeling, as if everything he does is purposeful.

She's a rather lazy person and doesn't like dealing with these kinds of people; it's too much of a mental drain.

The food was served quickly.

Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good.

Liu Weiguo didn't move at first. He wanted to see what Mu Xiaowan would do. After all, she didn't seem flustered when she found out that this was a Western restaurant. He wanted to see how she would react to unfamiliar tableware.

To his surprise, this was another unexpected turn of events.

Mu Xiaowan used it with ease.

"Your technique is quite skillful. Have you eaten here before?"

"No, this is the first time." Mu Xiaowan pointed to the people eating next to her. "Eating isn't difficult; one look is enough."

Liu Weiguo liked her unpretentious nature.

“This city is developing so fast. I didn’t even know such a place existed. Everything is changing.” Mu Xiaowan took a sip of red wine and said casually, “I heard that the government is going to develop a park on that piece of land in the west of the city. This city is going to undergo a big change.”

Liu Weiguo paused slightly as he was cutting his steak. He knew this piece of land all too well; Mu Xiaowan not only knew the latest news about it, but also that he intended to bid for it.

It seems he misjudged her; Mu Xiaowan may not be as simple as she appears.

Liu Weiguo looked up at Mu Xiaowan, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes. "I didn't expect you to be so well-informed."

Mu Xiaowan feigned surprise, "I heard my family mention it, but I thought everyone knew about something so important."

Liu Weiguo's eyes changed slightly. He had already made plans for that piece of land in the west of the city. If it was really requisitioned by the government, then his bid would be invalid. Why didn't he know such important news?

Regardless of how Mu Xiaowan found out, he always felt that Mu Xiaowan was deliberately reminding him, doing him a favor. "Really? This news is quite sudden."

Liu Weiguo took a sip of red wine, put down his glass, and said, "Excuse me, I'm going to make a phone call."

Mu Xiaowan watched Liu Weiguo's hurried departure, put a piece of beef in her mouth, chewed slowly, and savored the faint aroma of wine in the beef.

Liu Weiguo walked to the restaurant bar, dialed a number, and said in a low and urgent voice: "Check for me immediately whether that piece of land in the west of the city is going to be requisitioned by the government. I need the fastest and most accurate information!"

After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. When he returned to the dining table, his eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Mu Xiaowan.

After finishing the meal, Liu Weiguo immediately had someone pay the bill and packed up the remaining three desserts for Mu Xiaowan.

Liu Weiguo escorted Mu Xiaowan home.

The living room was quiet, except for a light in the hallway. Mu Xiaowan knew that her mother-in-law had left that light on for her.

She picked up the kettle on the table, poured herself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp, then dragged her somewhat tired body upstairs.

Back in her room, Mu Xiaowan immediately noticed Chu Junbai's coat hanging on the hanger and several sheets of paper spread out on his desk. Chu Junbai was back? Where had he gone? She wasn't usually unkempt; it seemed he'd left in a hurry and hadn't had time to tidy up.

Mu Xiaowan didn't think much of it. She smelled the alcohol on her clothes, went straight to the wardrobe, changed into a comfortable set of home clothes, and picked up the washbasin to wash up.

As Mu Xiaowan passed Chu Shaoze and An Muxue's room, the door was ajar, revealing a narrow crack. She quickened her pace instinctively, but just as she was about to pass, a soft gasp came from An Muxue inside.

Mu Xiaowan stopped in her tracks and quickly pushed open the door to check.

Judging from the sound, An Muxue had fallen.

result……

The sight before her made her freeze in place, her blood seemingly turning to ice.

An Muxue was tightly hugging Chu Junbai's waist. When they heard the door open, they both looked over, their faces filled with panic and confusion. A flicker of panic flashed in Chu Junbai's eyes, and his body involuntarily stiffened.

Mu Xiaowan's worldview was shattered. She quickly regained her composure and said, "Sorry to bother you!"

She opened the door and closed it just as she did.

Chu Junbai: "..."

Besides panic and shock, there was also a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Because Mu Xiaowan remained unmoved!

An Muxue: "..."

Shouldn't Mu Xiaowan be furious?

This way, Chu Junbai will see her ill-mannered side.

But she...

Is this good-for-nothing afraid that if she causes trouble, the Chu family will abandon her?
