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

Mu Xiaowan had to put on a good show, since everyone sitting here was someone of importance.

She bowed to everyone in apology.

"I'm sorry to have disturbed your meal. I hope you all enjoy your food and drinks and have a good time. Junbai will stay and keep you company."

When acting, you have to go all the way.

Mu Xiaowan patted Chu Junbai's spotless chest affectionately, "You stay here and greet everyone, I'll go settle my family in."

Then she went out.

Chu Junbai stared at her retreating figure thoughtfully for a moment before going to greet the guests.

The farce that had begun ended quietly with the departure of these people, leaving those who had been watching feeling somewhat disappointed.

However, I never expected that such an ignorant little girl would be so polite and poised.

He also bears some resemblance to Jiang Yinglan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the main wife, in his manner of doing things.

In order to flatter Old Master Chu and Old Madam Chu, some people praised Mu Xiaowan for being tactful and understanding.

Old Master Chu agreed outwardly, but inwardly he was thinking that he should have a serious talk with Mu Xiaowan later. If she really was the kind of heartless person, then this was the only excuse he could use to make Chu Junbai break off the engagement.

The old lady cursed Mu Xiaowan to death in her heart.

She disagreed in the first place, and now look what's happened, the Chu family has completely lost face.

Of course, the ones most eager to make things bigger include An Muxue and Bai Jiao'e.

Chu Shaoting sat next to An Muxue and muttered, "I thought there would be a good show this time, but it was all for nothing. But Mu Xiaowan's family looks like beggars, so filthy."

Even so, your second brother is still willing to marry her.

An Muxue couldn't sit still any longer and stormed off.

Chu Shaoting quickly nudged Chu Shaoze behind her, signaling him to follow.

Chu Shaoze understood and left as well.

Seeing Jiang Yinglan looking at her, Bai Jiao'e felt guilty and gave a dry laugh, saying, "Sister-in-law, our in-laws are here. This is a good thing. Shouldn't you go and greet them?"

Jiang Yinglan scoffed, "You were so enthusiastic just now, why aren't you greeting them now?" With his enthusiasm just now, anyone who didn't know better would think she was the in-law.

Such a low-class person, at his age he still doesn't understand what it means to consider the bigger picture.

Regardless, let's take good care of the guests first. Mu Xiaowan said she would give her an explanation, and they'd see how she explained herself later.

Jiang Yinglan went to help her son and husband greet the guests.

Home.

Mu Xiaowan led the group to the guest rooms.

He closed the door as soon as he entered the house.

He really wanted to just tell them to get lost!

But if you actually do that, in front of so many people, it could really give others cause for gossip.

"You must be tired and hungry after such a long drive. I'll get you some food in a bit, and you can take turns washing up."

A person's cleanliness and tidiness really have nothing to do with being rich or poor.

This group of people is really disgusting, they're all lazy, good-for-nothing, and just waiting for a windfall.

If it weren't for the original owner's memories, he would have really thought these people were beggars who had begged their way here.

"Xiao Wan, you broke off your engagement on your own and then secretly married someone else without telling us. We are all your family, why did you keep it from us? Are you afraid that we, your family, will tarnish your reputation, or are you afraid that we, your poor relatives, will drag you down?"

Mu Baogui, who hadn't had a chance to speak until now, seized the opportunity to glare angrily at Mu Xiaowan. Mu Xiaowan's behavior was extremely disrespectful to him.

He was the eldest son in the family, and his parents had to consult him before making decisions. How dare this brat make decisions on her own and not respect her older brother at all?

Mu Xiaowan suddenly laughed, "Big brother, you knew that He Yongsheng had other women a long time ago, right? Why didn't you tell me? And you let the villagers slander my reputation?"

"Although your sister-in-law is He Yongsheng's older sister, you are my older brother. Why don't you mention this?"

They really have the nerve to be so arrogant.

She was lucky she didn't slap him.

When the truth came out, He Yongli was quite embarrassed.

"Sister, we don't really know much about my brother's situation. He mentioned before that there was an official's daughter who was always bothering him, and he was forced to do so for the sake of his future."

"He has his reasons, you should understand him."

"To put it bluntly, you two are just not meant to be."

Mu Xiaowan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Xiao Wan, what are you laughing at?"

Is that brat mocking her?

"Sister-in-law, what you said is so true. If it's the same as you say, shouldn't I thank your brother?"

He Yongli said matter-of-factly, "Of course! If it weren't for him, would you have been able to marry into such a good family? Don't worry, we don't blame you for choosing someone else. But you shouldn't have gotten married so quietly. We're your family, so we should at least help you make a selection."

He Yongli's lecturing became more and more enthusiastic.

"Marriage is a huge event, it only happens once in a lifetime, and there are many things you don't understand. If we were here, the Chu family wouldn't dare to fool or bully you. Besides, if you get married without any of your family members, wouldn't people laugh at you? They'd think your family members were all dead."

"If you don't have any family members on your side to support you, your in-laws will definitely bully you after you get married. Who will respect you?"

Mu Xiaowan clapped her hands immediately.

“Sister-in-law, you’re right, you’re right. Actually, I didn’t want to tell you because I was afraid the Chu family would ask you for a dowry. Since you’re protecting me like this, I’m relieved. It’s all my fault, so please don’t hold it against me.”

"Now that you're here, please settle in comfortably. I'll go get you some food right away."

Mu Xiaowan was stopped by Liu Guilan before she could take a step.

The white marks on her forehead wrinkles were squeezed together.

"What did you just say? What dowry?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guilan's shrill voice almost attracted the attention of the people downstairs.

"Dowry? You receive betrothal gifts, so naturally you should give something in return. We have these customs where we're from too," Mu Xiaowan said innocently.

"You brat, what kind of family is the Chu family? Do you think they would even care about the dowry we're offering? I bet you're just deliberately trying to avoid giving any dowry money."

"It hasn't been that long since we last met, and you've already become more and more cunning."

"If you don't bring out the betrothal gifts today, I'm going to argue with the Chu family's relatives."

As Liu Guilan spoke, she raised her hand to hit Mu Xiaowan.

Mu Xiaowan grabbed her hand, her face gradually turning cold.

"It's only right that others give betrothal gifts and you give dowry. If you want to make a fuss, go ahead and make a fuss. I can't stop you anyway."

Mu Xiaowan let go of her hand, pointed to the door and said, "Anyway, the wedding isn't over yet. It would be best if you made a scene and ruined the marriage. Then I'll go back with you. After all, who would want a woman like me who's been rejected so many times?"

"That's for the best, I really didn't want to leave you guys."

Liu Guilan and He Yongli both looked at each other.

When did Mu Xiaowan become so amazing?

They've even learned to manipulate people with their words.

The mother and her children all looked incredulous.
