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

Jiang Yinglan spoke softly, her brows exuding an elegant and intellectual beauty. "Last night, your grandma was scolded by your grandpa, and she knows she was wrong. But she is, after all, an elder, and it's not right for her to swallow her pride and apologize to you."

"You probably understand why we're here. We won't force you." Jiang Yinglan's meaning was clear: they were acting out of necessity, and Mu Xiaowan didn't need to pay any attention to them; she should just do as she pleased.

Chu Huaizhi was a bit too filial, and he said, "Your grandfather often praises you for being a good child, saying that you are tolerant and generous and don't hold grudges against Shaoting. If you don't go back, he will worry about you."

What Chu Huaizhi said is true, but it is somewhat of a moral blackmail.

Just as Mu Xiaowan was about to state her position, a voice rang out along with the sound of the door opening.

“Mom and Dad! I’ve applied for housing in the team’s office. It should be approved in the next couple of days. There are a lot of people in the family, so it’s enough for the two of us to go back and stay once in a while. There’s no need to go back every day, since our home is quite far from here anyway.”

Chu Junbai entered with a gust of cold wind. As he took off his gloves, he glanced at Mu Xiaowan. Seeing no displeasure on her face, he then looked at his parents.

"Then, then tonight..." Jiang Yinglan thought she should at least give the old man some face.

However, she also felt that Mu Xiaowan was wronged. She couldn't force her husband to do something against his will, and she wouldn't allow him to do it either. She would leave it to them to decide. If they really didn't want to go back, she wouldn't force them. The old lady was indeed wrong to hit her.

Ultimately, it was the old lady's bias that led her to hit someone without asking any questions.

Slapping Mu Xiaowan is no different from slapping their faces.

So what if Mu Xiaowan comes from a poor background? She has never embarrassed them since she got married.

She is also polite, measured, and discreet in her actions.

On the contrary, the second son's children are all troublesome, and they don't even care about Chu Shaoqing, who is good.

"Dad, Mom, I'll be back first thing tomorrow morning. Thank you for making the trip today." Mu Xiaowan had her own ideas.

If we don't go back, it will make my in-laws lose face in front of my husband and wife.

Her in-laws treat her very well, and she has to give them that courtesy.

However, it's not the right time to go back. If I go back now, the old lady will definitely think I'm throwing a tantrum and won't come back unless someone invites me.

I'll definitely give her a piece of my mind when I get back.

It would be better to go back tomorrow morning and have Chu Junbai mention moving out.

She must take this opportunity to move out and make money instead of getting involved in all this messy stuff every day.

"Alright, then you two come back tomorrow."

After agreeing, Jiang Yinglan didn't linger any longer and stood up to leave.

Chu Junbai said, "I'll take you and Dad back."

Mu Xiaowan saw them to the door.

Chu Junbai was worried and reminded him, "Make sure the door is closed. I'll be back soon."

Mu Xiaowan: "?"

Is Chu Junbai staying here tonight?

We didn't sleep together last night, so how about tonight?

On the way, Jiang Yinglan looked at her outstanding and handsome son and sighed slightly.

"Junbai, you and Xiaowan haven't had a fight, have you?"

"no!"

“This child is a good child. She didn’t pursue the matter even though Xiaoting did such a thing. On the contrary, she got slapped by your grandma, and she must feel wronged. If she gets angry, just bear with it. This time it’s our fault.”

“When choosing a wife, it’s important to choose a virtuous one. I used to think she wasn’t good enough for you, but now the more I look at her, the better I think she is. She’s broad-minded and generous, and she doesn’t always compromise or suffer in silence. She can express her opinions promptly. Even in a family like ours, she doesn’t indulge us. This shows that she is a woman with her own opinions and ideas. She’s not the kind of person who can be easily manipulated.”

Chu Huaizhi said, "Your mother is right. She is very smart, reasonable, and knows when to advance and retreat. She is truly admirable."

How could Chu Junbai not know this?

The longer I spent with Mu Xiaowan, the more I realized that she was a rough gem, her brilliance gradually revealing itself.

After Chu Junbai dropped the two people off, he also got out of the car.

He went straight to the two elderly people.

Seeing that Mu Xiaowan hadn't returned, Old Madam Chu let out a heavy snort.

"That country bumpkin is putting on airs! Even your parents couldn't get her to come back, does she expect me, this old woman, to go and beg her myself?"

"She's a nobody. Giving her a little face makes her think she's all that. If she doesn't come back, then she shouldn't come back at all. Even if Junbai gets divorced, it won't be hard for him to find someone with better conditions. There are plenty of girls eager to come to our Chu family!"

"grandmother!"

"Shut up!"

Chu Junbai and Old Master Chu spoke in unison.

Chu Junbai frowned; his grandmother's words made him very unhappy.

“Grandma, she is my wife. I know what I should do.”

"Junbai, are you bewitched? What tricks did that little girl use to make you so infatuated?"

The old man shouted, "Shut up! You can't stand to see the children doing well, can you? You're practically on your deathbed, why can't you behave yourself? If it weren't for you, would this have happened? You shouldn't have sent the eldest son and his wife today; you should have gone to pick up Xiao Wan."

Chu Junbai explained with a straight face, "Grandpa, it's not that Xiao Wan isn't coming back, but there are some accounts to settle at the shop. Shao Qing isn't here, and she still needs to check the goods. By the time she finishes, it will probably be past midnight. I also have to go back to help in a bit. She will be back tomorrow."

"Alright, alright, you can arrange your own time, don't listen to your grandma."

"Grandpa, Grandma, we definitely won't be staying here for long. I mentioned before the New Year that I would apply for housing in the military, and now that we have a place, we'll be moving out in the next couple of days. We'll come back to visit you whenever we have time."

The old lady was at it again. The anger that had just been simmering after being scolded by Old Master Chu suddenly flared up again. "What? Your parents are getting on in years. Shouldn't you be by their side to take care of them? If anything were to happen to us, you would be there for them. Is Mu Xiaowan trying to find some peace and quiet? Junbai, you're really bewitched by her."

“Look at this courtyard, which family doesn’t have a daughter-in-law taking care of them? Aren’t you afraid people will laugh at you for neglecting your elders like this?”

Chu Junbai kept a dark face throughout. "Grandma, you're not our only granddaughter-in-law. Even if it were our turn, it wouldn't be us, would it?"

"I'm leaving now." Chu Junbai didn't want his grandmother to say anything bad about Mu Xiaowan anymore, so he came in to explain.

I never expected Grandma to become so senile and difficult to deal with.

At the same time, he was also glad that Mu Xiaowan had her own fangs, otherwise, with her background, she would have suffered a lot in a family like theirs, and he couldn't possibly be by her side all the time.

Chu Junbai drove back to the grocery store. He didn't get out of the car immediately, but instead sat in the car and lit a cigarette.

The lights on the first and second floors of the grocery store, as well as the streetlights outside, were on.

For some reason, he felt a sense of warmth.
