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

They never intended to ruin this marriage; the Chu family would be their cash cow, a source of endless wealth.

He Yongli, for example, didn't care who Mu Xiaowan married, as long as she received money.

Liu Guilan's triangular eyes narrowed, and she angrily scolded, "You brat, you're getting bolder and bolder! Were you just lying to us about what you said outside?"

He Yongli was also anxious. She couldn't let the gold she had just gotten her hands on go like this. "Xiao Wan, you can't do this. You clearly said that you bought Niu Niu a gold lock and I also bought you gold earrings. I heard you clearly."

When Mu Xiao'e heard that her sister wanted to buy gold earrings for her sister-in-law and a gold lock for her nephew, she immediately objected.

However, she wouldn't be as tough as her mother and sister-in-law.

Because whenever she pretended to cry, her sister would give her everything she wanted.

Mu Xiao'e lowered her head, sniffed, and when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with tears.

"Sister, you once told me that you would treat me the best. I am your dearest sister. In the past, you always gave me the best things first. Now that you have money, are you going to abandon me?"

Mu Xiaowan curled her red lips into a mocking smile.

Ha! Here comes another one.

Looking at Mu Xiao'e's pitiful appearance, Mu Xiaowan really wanted to slap her to restore her true form.

In the original owner's memories, Mu Xiao'e was a "top-grade tea".

For example, the original owner used the money she saved by digging for medicinal herbs to buy herself a five-yuan floral short-sleeved shirt, which caught the eye of Mu Xiao'e. She first pretended to be wronged and pitiful, and then used all sorts of tricks.

If you give it to her, Mu Xiao'e will turn her back on you and go around telling everyone that she bought the clothes with her own hard-earned money.

If the truth were exposed, Mu Xiao'e would say that the original owner stole the money she had worked so hard to save, belittling the original owner and claiming that the original owner's bad reputation was all Mu Xiao'e's doing.

If it weren't for her good looks, He Yongsheng would have broken off the engagement long ago, and the He family even had designs on Mu Xiao'e.

If she didn't give it to him, Mu Xiao'e would deliberately do something wicked and tear the clothes to pieces, or burn them to the ground. She was extremely vicious.

The older brother is a son, and his love for him goes without saying.

Mu Xiao'e was young and was the one who received pampering. She was the only one no one cared about, a mere tool.

She's trying to pull the same trick again today, but how could she let her have it?

She smiled slightly and said softly, "Sister, what are you saying? We are sisters, even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected. How could I abandon you?"

"Why did my sister give gifts to everyone else but not to me?"

Is Mu Xiao'e deaf or blind?

Wasn't what she said just now obvious enough?

What she meant was that there was nothing there, and you should go back to where you came from.

"Don't worry, you're my own sister, how could I possibly mistreat you?"

"Everyone, let's eat first. I'll go get your food."

Liu Guilan felt a lump in her throat, unable to swallow it.

When did this brat become like this? Now she won't even listen to her.

She was about to call out to Mu Xiaowan, but Mu Baogui stopped her.

"Mom, no rush. We can ask for it after we finish eating. I don't believe she won't give it to us."

After Mu Baogui's persuasion, Liu Guilan finally calmed down.

Mu Xiaowan went downstairs and ran into Chu Junbai, who was picking up the wine.

Chu Junbai frowned. "What's going on? Didn't you tell your family?"

Mu Xiaowan didn't want to hide anything from Chu Junbai.

"No, my family treats me badly. If they found out I married into a family like yours, they would definitely make a scene for everyone. All they care about in this life is money."

"I'd rather not tell you at all than do that!"

A look of surprise flashed across Chu Junbai's eyes. He clearly hadn't expected Mu Xiaowan to be so frank with him.

Is it because of the cooperation that she feels so emboldened?

Or perhaps she simply didn't take him seriously and thought he wouldn't mind.

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner? Or discuss it with me so I could be prepared."

"Prepare what? Now that you know, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

"Even if I had told you earlier, do you think my family should have been invited or not?"

"Or will you dislike me even more, thinking I'm materialistic and a snob?"

"But what does it matter? All you need now is a contractual partner; our relationship is purely based on mutual benefit. Within that framework, we'll do our best to keep the other party satisfied."

Chu Junbai was speechless when Mu Xiaowan asked him a question.

But he felt very uncomfortable.

This woman has sharp teeth and a bit of a sharp tongue.

They always manage to take the initiative.

"How did they know?"

Chu Junbai's gaze was fixed on Mu Xiaowan's face, trying to glean some insight from it.

Could it be that this woman orchestrated this herself to extort more money from them?

To everyone's surprise, Mu Xiaowan was remarkably composed.

She looked up, her watery eyes meeting Chu Junbai's gaze, and said very seriously, "It's He Yongsheng. People like him only want to do whatever they want, but they won't allow others to live better than him."

"If it weren't for him sending a telegram home, I really can't think of anyone else."

Chu Junbai's brow twitched slightly. She needed to investigate this He Yongsheng thoroughly.

"You'd better handle things with your family. It won't look good for anyone if things get out of hand in this kind of situation."

"I know, that's why I'm trying to find a solution."

Chu Junbai left with the wine.

Mu Xiaowan went to the kitchen.

The chef went to eat at that moment.

There are two aunties left here to help serve the food. One is the maid, Zhang Ma, who just went out, and the other is a short and plump auntie.

"Auntie, could you help me get some groceries? I need to take them upstairs."

The fat woman gave Mu Xiaowan a disdainful look.

"The dishes have all been served. If you want more, we'll have to make them again. The chef isn't here. Let's wait until they finish their meal."

Looking at the remaining vegetables in the dish and then at the fat woman's cold and disdainful expression, Mu Xiaowan realized that this woman was trying to make things difficult for her.

"Auntie, isn't there some in this bowl? Take whatever you have. Aren't there still some steamed buns warming in the pot? Just take a few more."

"These dishes are refills. We need to bring these quickly after the others finish eating. I also heard that some important guests are coming. We need to save some for them."

"Besides, even the Chu family members haven't eaten."

Mu Xiaowan was so angry she wanted to laugh. She was being so polite here, but others didn't treat her like a human being.

She was wearing a red dress, such an obvious bridal symbol, she couldn't possibly not know it.

This only shows that this woman also knows the Chu family and is aware of the inside story of their marriage. She feels that he is not good enough for Chu Junbai, which is why she dislikes him.

She is indeed not good enough for Chu Junbai, but that has become a fait accompli.

No one can change anything, so what can she change by doing this?
