Mu Xiaowan looked at Bai Jiao'e. It seemed that Bai Jiao'e was also involved, otherwise these people definitely wouldn't have been able to get in.

She has observed the relationship between the two families over the past few days.

Bai Jiao'e was jealous of Jiang Yinglan, not only because of her considerate husband and outstanding children, but also because of Jiang Yinglan's indifferent nature and her status in the family.

Bai Jiao'e said she would let Chu Junbai inherit the Chu family, but in reality she was very afraid.

The person spreading rumors at the hospital this time is probably Bai Jiao'e; she doesn't want the first wife's family to have an easy time.

If she were to act ruthlessly and confront her awful family right now, they would simply walk away, and she would be in for a rough time later.

Moreover, if she makes a scene, it will only lead to the people present mocking the Chu family and despising her even more.

She didn't really care, but things would get complicated from now on, and she hated trouble the most.

She prefers to spend her time making money.

Mu Xiaowan withdrew her cold gaze and handed the wine bottle to Chu Shaoqing.

The next second, a warm smile appeared on her face. She quickly walked over and grabbed her mother Liu Guilan's hand, "Mom, brother, sister-in-law! Little sister!"

Mu Xiaowan's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. "Mom, really! You said you got carsick and weren't coming, but you were going to surprise me!"

"If I had known you were coming, I would have waited for you. It was my fault, I'm so sorry!"

She had to make those people believe that Liu Guilan was angry because she almost missed her wedding, not because she hadn't notified them.

The general public doesn't care about the real reason; they'll just think she's a snob.

“Last night, Grandpa said it was a pity you didn’t come. They will be very happy to see you here today.”

Overwhelmed with emotion, Mu Xiaowan sobbed a few times before embracing Liu Guilan and her son with deep affection.

"I've put the betrothal gifts in the bedroom. There's a lot of money. I'll get it for you in a bit. You should talk to them first, and then we'll go get the money."

Mu Xiaowan whispered in Liu Guilan's ear.

She coaxed and threatened at the same time.

"Stop making trouble, or you'll ruin my wedding. Not only will you not get any money, but you'll also never be allowed to enter the Chu family again. Old Master Chu cares a lot about his reputation."

"I also want the Chu family to find my brother a job in the city."

Mu Xiaowan sensed the change in Liu Guilan, stepped back, and wiped away her tears with a smile.

Liu Guilan was so captivated by Mu Xiaowan's empty promises that she momentarily forgot the purpose of her visit and stared blankly at Mu Xiaowan.

Seeing Mu Xiaowan dressed so beautifully, and the red suit she was wearing, was enough to drive He Yongli insane with jealousy.

When the marriage was arranged, her mother was afraid that Mu Xiaowan would make demands when she got married, so she didn't let her make any requests to the Mu family.

But now Mu Xiaowan has married someone else in the blink of an eye, and found such a good family.

Even the wealthiest families in the city can't compare to theirs.

She was determined to make a scene today and squeeze some money out of Mu Xiaowan.

"Xiao Wan! You..."

She'd start a fight at the slightest provocation.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaowan grabbed his fingers and then hugged him.

Mu Xiaowan followed suit, saying, "Sister-in-law, I bought Niu Niu a gold lock and you a pair of gold earrings. I'll give them to you in a bit."

He Yongli was stunned when she heard the name Jin Suo.

Then she realized that no matter what her aunt had, she always put her first.

Presumably, even if they don't come this time, they will still mail it back; otherwise, she can forget about ever visiting her parents' home again.

That saves her from making a fuss; she can ask Mu Xiaowan for some money later.

Mu Xiaowan is very clear about the food chain in her family.

Her mother favored sons over daughters and listened to her son, while the son listened to his wife, so He Yongli had to appease her.

No one likes a painted cake, but no one doesn't love money.

Especially those few money-grubbing vampires in the family.

Mu Xiaowan saw Chu Junbai radiating coldness, walked over and took his hand. His hand was dry, but his palm was warm, which felt very comfortable against her cold hand.

Chu Junbai was taken aback, his gaze falling on that hand. His first impression was that her hand was really small and thin.

Mu Xiaowan pulled Chu Junbai to Liu Guilan.

"This is my man, Chu Junbai."

Chu Junbai frowned, somewhat displeased, but his good upbringing prevented him from saying anything.

Mu Xiaowan then introduced the group to Chu Junbai.

Seeing her son-in-law, who was so handsome and talented, Liu Guilan couldn't help but sigh that Mu Xiaowan had gotten incredibly lucky.

"This is my son-in-law! He's wonderful!"

The younger sister, Mu Xiao'e, had her eyes shining brightly, staring intently at Chu Junbai.

That damned Mu Xiaowan! No wonder she kept it a secret. If she had told her family earlier, she would have come sooner and might have been the one to marry into the Chu family.

With Mu Xiaowan's stupid and clumsy appearance, she doesn't deserve it.

But it's not too late now; as long as she stays, she'll have a chance to meet such a handsome man.

Chu Junbai noticed the ill-intentioned gaze, his eyes turned cold, and he stared directly at Mu Xiao'e.

Upon meeting that sharp, razor-sharp gaze, Mu Xiao'e shrank back in fright and quickly looked away.

I'd better not, it's too scary.

Just as Chu Junbai was about to speak, Jiang Yinglan walked over, pulled Mu Xiaowan aside, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say your family wasn't coming? What's going on?"

Seeing that Jiang Yinglan's usual gentleness had vanished and her face had darkened, Mu Xiaowan knew that she had crossed Jiang Yinglan's bottom line.

Jiang Yinglan never does anything unprepared, and this unexpected situation clearly displeased her.

This will cause gossip and bring shame to the Chu family, making them appear as snobs who favor the rich and despise the poor.

"Mom, I'll explain everything to you now. Don't worry, I'll handle it. It's all my fault today. I'm sorry."

Mu Xiaowan took Jiang Yinglan's arm and led her to Liu Guilan, forcing Jiang Yinglan to follow her.

Mu Xiaowan introduced the two to each other.

Jiang Yinglan was very well-mannered. Even though she was displeased, she still extended her hand with a faint smile on her face.

"Welcome to our home, in-laws. We are also delighted that you can attend the children's wedding."

Liu Guilan's clothes were not only patched and torn, but also filthy, and her hands were extremely dirty.

Look at my in-laws in front of me. Rich people are different. They wear suits made of fabric I can't identify, their jet-black hair is tied up at the back of their heads, and they wear beaded necklaces. They are fair-skinned and look like they are in their thirties.

Liu Guilan suddenly felt inferior, but then she changed her mind.

So what if he's rich? He still married her daughter, and everything here will be hers from now on. She'll be the one enjoying all the good life.

Suddenly, she seemed to have transformed into a wealthy woman, and no one else in the room caught her eye.

She grabbed Jiang Yinglan's hand and held it tightly.

"My dear in-laws, if only this unfilial daughter had told me sooner, I wouldn't be in this predicament..."

"Mom, you must be tired from your journey. Let me take you to wash up and rest first, and then I'll introduce you to Grandpa and Grandma later."

Mu Xiaowan quickly stepped forward and took Liu Guilan's arm.

Liu Guilan thought Mu Xiaowan was eager to give her money, and once she thought of money, nothing else mattered.

“Yes, Mom, let’s go wash up first.” He Yongli was also concerned about her things and quickly echoed Mu Xiaowan.
