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

"You shameless little slut!" The middle-aged woman grabbed Mu Xiao'e's hair. "My husband buys you gold necklaces? Gold bracelets? You're not worthy!"

Mu Xiao'e screamed in pain, her carefully styled curly hair torn to shreds. She struggled to escape, but two burly men held her down by the shoulders.

"Let me go! Do you know who I am?" Mu Xiao'e screamed. "Boss Wang won't let you get away with this!"

"Ha, Boss Wang?" the middle-aged woman sneered. "He's in dire straits himself!" She turned to the doorway and yelled at passersby, "Everyone come and see! It's this shameless woman who seduces a married man and then brags about it everywhere!"

A larger crowd gathered, and the whispering and pointing fingers filled Mu Xiao'e with shame and indignation. She looked pleadingly at Mu Xiaowan, "Sister...sister, save me..."

Mu Xiaowan frowned. However, she had no intention of helping.

Mu Xiao'e could just pack up and leave, but she couldn't; the shop was right there.

"If you want to fight, go outside and fight. Don't affect my business. If you damage my goods, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Sister? She calls you sister. Are you this bitch's sister? You two are equally seductive. This shop was opened for you by a man, wasn't it? Bah! Shameless."

"You worthless sluts, you can't live without men, today I'll take you down on behalf of God, smash them!"

"Let's see who dares to move."

Chu Shaoqing was also getting impatient.

He was thinking of getting rid of Mu Xiao'e so he could get some wine from his sister-in-law, but with all these twists and turns, he wouldn't be able to drink any wine today.

Chu Shaoqing stood up, giving a cold glance, "Let's see who dares to touch this place today?"

"Hmph, a mere brat, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

The middle-aged woman now sees the two Mu sisters as thorns in her side, and she won't rest until she vents her anger today.

"Don't be afraid, smash it!"

Mu Xiaowan's face darkened; all she wanted to do was throw Mu Xiao'e out.

She had been targeted for a long time, yet she still dared to bring people here.

If Mu Xiao'e weren't so clueless, she would have suspected that Mu Xiao'e and this woman were deliberately instigating trouble for her.

But right now, protecting the shop is the priority.

Chu Shaoqing was trained, and even when facing two burly men, he held his own and managed to prevent them from hitting anything. However, Chu Shaoqing did take a few punches.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman also joined in.

Liu Caiwei had been watching her closely. Upon seeing her actions, she quickly stopped him, kicked her to the ground, and then dragged him outside.

Mu Xiaowan was dumbfounded.

That series of movements was so smooth and efficient, so cool!

This girl is also a trained martial artist.

Not only her, but Chu Shaoqing was also stunned when he caught a glimpse of it.

Liu Caiwei is really... cool and capable; she actually trained in martial arts.

"Caiwei, just throw it out so it can't come back in. Don't get your hands dirty."

Mu Xiaowan shouted at Mu Xiao'e, who was standing there in a daze, "What are you waiting for? Go call the police!"

Mu Xiao'e was terrified. Upon hearing the order, she immediately ran outside, but after a few steps, she ran back, saying, "No, I can't call the police."

If the police accept the case, they're sure they can find out what she did.

What if we make her return those gold jewelry pieces?

"Looks like you really did become a mistress, then you deserve to be beaten to death. You're not wronged at all."

Mu Xiaowan grabbed Mu Xiao'e and walked out, then threw her aside as soon as they were outside!

“This Madam Wang is right here. Do with her as you please, it has nothing to do with me. If there is any connection, it is that if she dies and the police come looking for me, I will reluctantly help collect her body.”

"Mu Xiaowan, how could you be so heartless?"

Liu Caiwei shook her head. This fool, she didn't even know Xiao Wan was helping her. Xiao Wan mentioned the police to intimidate Madam Wang, to prevent her from killing someone, and also to tell this fool that the police could save lives and that she herself would hold those responsible accountable. But how could Mu Xiao'e understand?

“Mu Xiao’e, you’ve never done anything decent since you were a child. This is immoral, and if you don’t learn a lesson, it will be an injustice.”

The middle-aged woman noticed Mu Xiaowan's resolute expression; it didn't seem like an act at all. It seemed these two sisters were different.

Since that's the case, she should just settle accounts with the people who destroyed her family.

"You two stop fighting, come out and drag her away, let everyone see this vixen's seductive face."

While they were talking, Chu Shaoqing knocked the two of them down.

"roll!"

With a roar, the two men quickly scrambled out.

Mu Xiao'e was quickly taken away, and the onlookers pointed and whispered among themselves about the shop.

Liu Caiwei came out to shoo them away, saying, "No need to look. You all live nearby, so you know what kind of person my sister Xiaowan is. Besides, she's a military wife. If there were any problems, it wouldn't be your place to talk about them. The military would have resolved it long ago. If you keep talking, that's slandering a military wife, which will land you in jail."

With just a few words, she made the onlookers disperse immediately.

Mu Xiaowan looked at her, inwardly approving.

Liu Caiwei looked at Chu Shaoqing's face and arms with heartache.

"Shaoqing, wait a moment, I'll go find the medicine box right away."

"Sister Xiaowan, do you have a first-aid kit at home?"

Upon learning that there wasn't any, Liu Caiwei immediately ran out to buy some.

When she returned, she carefully examined Chu Shaoqing's injuries and applied medicine.

Noticing Chu Shaoqing's unwavering gaze, Liu Caiwei's face grew increasingly hot.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a doctor, I'm just a good student who follows the doctor's orders."

Chu Shaoqing's heart raced at the thought of that nimble figure.

"How do you know kung fu? Is there anything about you that I don't know about!"

Liu Caiwei felt increasingly embarrassed under his intense gaze and whispered, "My brother made me learn self-defense skills. I had no choice but to learn."

"You've studied quite well."

"You're not going to stop being friends with me because of this, are you?"

Liu Caiwei became anxious.

Chu Shaoqing took the things from his hands and began to deal with them herself.

Before he could speak, the flush on Liu Caiwei's face faded, and her heart began to race.

……

Mu Xiao'e squatted at the entrance of the alley, gazing at the shop signs in the distance. Her hair was disheveled, and her makeup was smudged, but her eyes were frighteningly bright.

"Mu Xiaowan..." she muttered through gritted teeth, "You made me get beaten up like this, I won't let you get away with this!"

She touched the few remaining banknotes in her pocket—her secret stash of money she had hidden from Boss Wang. Now, this money would come in very handy.

The next morning, as soon as Mu Xiaowan opened the shop, she found the window smashed. Glass shards were scattered all over the floor, and the door was also slashed. Chu Shaoqing frowned and crouched down to examine the damage.

In the following days, strange things happened one after another. The goods in the store were damaged, customers kept encountering various "accidents" when they made purchases, and some people even spread rumors that there was a problem with the quality of the general store.

"It always happens after closing time at night, or before opening time in the early morning..." she muttered to herself, "and she always manages to avoid the patrolling security guards..."

Suddenly, she remembered something and hurried to the back door. There were several fresh scratches on the lock, indicating that someone had clearly tried to pick it.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Mu Xiaowan's lips. She should have realized sooner; besides her vindictive younger sister, who else would be so scheming to harm her?

The neighboring house is under renovation, and Chu Junbai is away these past two days and can't come to pick her up, so she went back to her unit to stay by herself.

She thought once or twice would be enough, but now it's never-ending.

She'll be staying at the shop tonight.

Around midnight, a faint noise came from the back door. A familiar figure tiptoed in, carrying a small bottle.

"Snapped!"

The lights suddenly came on, startling Mu Xiao'e so much that she almost dropped the bottle in her hand.

"It really is you." Mu Xiaowan walked out and looked coldly at her younger sister.

Mu Xiao'e was taken aback at first, then revealed a ferocious smile. "So what if it's me? What do you think you can do to me?"

"This is sulfuric acid, isn't it?" Mu Xiaowan glanced at the bottle in her hand. "You want to destroy me?"
