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

Chu Junbai looked at Mu Xiaowan without speaking, his cold eyes narrowed, as if deep in thought.

Aunt Zhang frowned and said, "How could you be so careless? Breaking a plate on such a joyous day is so unlucky. If the old lady finds out, she'll definitely be angry."

The fat woman immediately panicked, "No, Captain Chu, Sister Zhang, it was her, she smashed it, it was her..."

The fat woman pointed at Mu Xiaowan, spitting as she spoke.

"She has no manners at all. She just grabbed vegetables from the bowl with her hands and ate them. I said something to her, and she got angry and even pinched me."

The overweight woman was full of grievances and tried too hard to defend herself, but ended up rambling incoherently.

"It wasn't me, she smashed the plate!"

“She, if you don’t believe me, look at her mouth. She was eating the meatballs with her hands just now, so there must be some taste in her mouth.”

"Auntie, I know you're afraid of losing these plates, but you can't use that as a shield."

Mu Xiaowan lowered her eyebrows, looking aggrieved.

"I didn't mention this earlier because I felt I had done something wrong, and I was afraid Junbai would be angry with me. I wanted to get a few meatballs myself, but Auntie said my hands were dirty and I would get the meatballs dirty too, so I had to eat the ones I had touched."

"I come from the countryside. Although I don't know the rules, I know that we shouldn't waste things, and it would be a pity to throw them away."

"It seems I've made a mistake again."

Mu Xiaowan's face, now painted with rouge, was filled with guilt, and no one could bear to blame her.

The fat woman was shocked and, in a fit of anger and speechlessness, lost her temper and blurted out, "That bitch! She's shameless! She's lying! She's acting! She's deceiving you! Don't believe her lies! She even pinched me!"

Chu Junbai's eyes suddenly turned cold and deep. "Aunt An, the Chu family came to ask you for help today because of our relationship with the An family. If you don't want to do it, no one will force you. Since you are so dissatisfied, just leave now. No one will stop you."

"Even without this wedding today, Mu Xiaowan is still my legal wife, Chu Junbai's wife. How is your insulting her any different from slapping the Chu family in the face?"

Chu Junbai's voice was like poison, which frightened the fat woman, but she also felt wronged.

"Captain Chu, I...I...it really wasn't me! It was that country bumpkin Mu Xiaowan..." Under Chu Junbai's sharp eyes, the fat woman stopped abruptly, "It really was her, there are definitely marks on my body from when she pinched me."

"Junbai, what's wrong?"

An Muxue's father, An Guoli, went to the restroom and came over when he heard his nanny crying.

Mu Xiaowan quickly said, "Uncle An is here too, he can be a witness, so don't say I wronged her. You just said I pinched you. You still have marks on your body, so show them to everyone."

Mu Xiaowan's voice changed from soft to firm, "If it's my fault, I will definitely admit it. If it wasn't me, even if a knife is held to my throat, I won't admit it."

The fat woman thought of the spot where she had been pinched and immediately cursed Mu Xiaowan in her heart for being so cunning. How could she show that spot to others?

Not to mention that An Guoli was also present at that time.

She had to swallow this bitter pill.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she felt cheated. Her anger consumed all her reason, and at that moment, all she wanted was to kill Mu Xiaowan.

"You wicked and cunning bitch, I might as well beat you to death today, so that Mu Xue can accept this wedding."

There was a stove behind Mu Xiaowan, so she could only dodge forward. Unexpectedly, Chu Junbai took a step forward and the two collided. Both of them moved quickly, and Mu Xiaowan, being weak, was the one who was hit. Just as she was about to be thrown away, she felt a pain in her lower back, and her nose hit Chu Junbai's chest again.

Chu Junbai held Mu Xiaowan's lower back with one hand and grabbed the fat woman's wrist with the other.

He looked down at the woman nestled quietly in his arms. This woman was so frail; she had no presence at all in his embrace.

Although this body was raised doing rough work in the countryside, it definitely wouldn't be able to withstand a slap from those rough, fat hands.

A cold glint appeared in Chu Junbai's eyes. "Aunt An, what are you doing?"

Father An was also stunned, then quickly came to his senses and scolded, "Sister-in-law An, what are you doing? Can't you talk things out properly? Who is Junbai? He would never wrong you. You've given people something to talk about for no reason."

Although An Guoli didn't like Mu Xiaowan either, it was still difficult for him to explain that she had scolded Chu Junbai's wife in front of him and even hit her.

Aunt An was their servant and also a relative in the clan. Every word and action of Aunt An was inseparable from the An family.

The Chu family will definitely think that he condoned it, wouldn't that make him an enemy?

Mu Xiaowan glanced at An Guoli. This man had a slicked-back hairstyle and was wearing a Zhongshan suit. He looked quite sanctimonious.

It was clearly their own maid who was in the wrong, but now she's saying it's her fault and even passing on a message to Chu Junbai, afraid he'll be biased.

But Chu Junbai wasn't buying it.

“Uncle An, she is a member of your family, and I am very grateful for your help. But one thing is one thing. You have to give me an explanation for this. No matter who it is, to speak to a bride on her wedding day with insults or even physical abuse shows a complete disregard for me and the Chu family. Since Mu Xiaowan has married me, as long as she is my wife, I cannot wrong her.”

An Guoli was still thinking about how to explain things and smooth things over, after all, Aunt An had been in their family for more than ten years.

But judging from Chu Junbai's expression, he didn't seem to be listening to what he said at all; he was clearly taking it seriously.

"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me, it was..." The fat woman tried to defend herself again, but was interrupted by An Guoli's angry shout.

"say no more!"

The fat woman then shut her mouth and began to cry in grievance.

“Junbai, today is a joyous occasion, and it’s really not good to make such a scene. I think we should talk about this after today. If people find out that the bride had a fight with a maid, Xiaowan might be talked about.”

Mu Xiaowan sneered inwardly.

However, his words reminded Mu Xiaowan.

Today is indeed her big day. If people find out, they will think she is aggressive and it will give them something to talk about. It's better to take the opportunity to give An Guoli some face.

If this gets out, she'll gain a reputation for being magnanimous.

Anyway, this old woman isn't from the Chu family, and he won't see her much in the future. It's better for her to stay with the An family. If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Who knows when this nanny might offend someone powerful? And then it won't just be her who gets implicated.

Thinking about it this way, Mu Xiaowan was no longer angry. She let go of Chu Junbai and gently touched his arm.

Chu Junbai glanced down at Mu Xiaowan, who was so close to him, and suddenly understood her thoughts.
