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

He said, "Today is my wedding day, and I don't want to make things too ugly. Xiao Wan isn't the type to hold grudges. Aunt An, just apologize to Xiao Wan, and we'll let it go."

Seeing that Mu Xiaowan was not angry, Chu Junbai knew that he had guessed correctly.

The fat woman wiped away her tears and reluctantly apologized to Mu Xiaowan through gritted teeth.

As they parted, Mu Xiaowan whispered to An Guoli, "Uncle An, you're right. Although that maid isn't from my family, she insulted and beat me, so she might also do something to you. I'm not worried about what happened today, but I'm afraid the An family's reputation will be damaged. In short, I just hope you don't suffer any losses."

If she hadn't said that, An Guoli would have thought she was genuinely afraid of gossip. She wasn't afraid at all; her reputation had never been good, so what was there to be afraid of!

She needed to let An Guoli know that she wasn't stupid, and that her concessions were for the sake of the An family (although that wasn't the truth).

An Guoli watched Mu Xiaowan's retreating figure, his face darkening. How dare a country bumpkin like her give him advice? What a jerk!

The fat woman was sent back.

Aunt Zhang took the food upstairs.

As soon as Mu Xiaowan entered the room, Chu Junbai, who was following behind her, pulled her into an empty room.

"Is something wrong?"

Chu Junbai remained silent, simply staring down at her with deep eyes that always held emotions that others could not decipher.

Mu Xiaowan was very hungry, and she gradually lost patience.

It's almost one o'clock now, and she's really starving.

"If you're busy, could you bring me a bowl of rice first, and we can eat and chat at the same time?"

When she pressed herself against Chu Junbai just now, the scent on the tip of her nose was no longer cool and refreshing. He had drunk quite a bit today, and every cell in his body exuded the aroma of alcohol.

The two were now only a step apart, and the smell of alcohol hadn't subsided; in fact, it had become even stronger.

Looking at her calm and composed demeanor, Chu Junbai slowly spoke, "Mu Xiaowan, you'd better behave yourself here and put away your little tricks."

"?" Mu Xiaowan's heart sank.

Did Chu Junbai see everything she did just now?

That's impossible. He clearly came in from the front. If he heard it with his ears, it could only be the conversation in front. He couldn't possibly know what she was doing.

"Captain Chu, are you drunk? I don't understand what you mean."

"Mu Xiaowan, don't overdo it with your cleverness. Nobody in this family is stupid. I hope we won't cause each other any trouble these three years. Just make sure the contract is in order."

Chu Junbai was outside the back window just now; he not only heard it, but he also saw it.

She happened to see Aunt An hitting Mu Xiaowan, and Mu Xiaowan being choked.

When he saw Aunt An make a move, he wanted to stop her, but then he saw Mu Xiaowan's next move.

He was shocked.

And then there was the smashing of the plates. She didn't even blink. There were at least a dozen plates in that stack. She didn't care at all. Where was the thrifty and frugal demeanor of a country person?

It's clear that Mu Xiaowan was incredibly ruthless in her scheming.

Mu Xiaowan wears many masks; perhaps this is her true face.

But to say he was ruthless is to say he let Aunt An go.

He had just seen An Guoli standing at the kitchen door. He clearly heard them arguing, but he didn't go in to stop them. Instead, when he saw him, he quickly hid in the bathroom and then pretended to have just come out.

That's why he took a tough stance and needed to give an explanation; he just misjudged Mu Xiaowan's thoughts at the beginning.

She thought Mu Xiaowan would use this as an opportunity to vent her anger.

Based on what he'd learned about Mu Xiaowan over the past two days, she was definitely not the type to suffer a loss.

But Mu Xiaowan's sudden change of attitude left him completely bewildered.

All of this seemed to be slipping out of his control.

This feeling is very bad.

"The contract hasn't been signed yet, has it?"

Mu Xiaowan's beautiful eyebrows slowly furrowed.

The person who said he signed was too busy last night to attend to her, and she didn't want to bother him, but now he's bringing up the contract.

"Sign it tonight!"

Chu Junbai is gone.

Mu Xiaowan's watery eyes narrowed.

Chu Junbai is a hypocrite. He clearly made her keep an eye on the second wife at home, but now he won't let her scheme at home.

Divine gold!

Mu Xiaowan was starving. Just as she was about to go out to find something to eat, Chu Shaoqing brought her a bowl of rice and vegetables, and even selected three different cuisines.

"Thank you, Shaoqing!"

Mu Xiaowan quickly took the bowl, closed the door, and sat down on the edge of the bed to eat. She wouldn't leave until she finished the meal.

The biggest thing in the world.

Chu Shaoqing looked at the closed door and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He shrugged and muttered, "If anyone should thank you, it should be my second brother. He's the one who sent this."

That being said, this second brother really cares about his sister-in-law.

Mu Xiaowan quickly finished her meal and then went to make a phone call.

After the call connected, she said a few words quickly and then hung up.

She then went upstairs again.

Fortunately, she let her family eat in the room; otherwise, it would have been a disaster.

The way they ate was absolutely disgusting.

The original owner of this body might get used to it, but as a modern person, she really can't accept it.

In just a short time, the room was filthy, like a pigsty, after we finished eating.

Bones and fish bones were scattered on the ground, along with some spilled rice. Liu Guilan was wiping her mouth and hands with a pillowcase.

Mu Xiaowan had seen it all, yet she was completely stunned.

Mu Baogui took off his shoes and lay on the bed, the room filled with the smell of sweaty feet.

If you can still smell sweaty feet in the dead of winter while wearing cloth shoes, it just means your feet haven't been washed in a long time and have become quite pungent.

Mu Xiaowan almost choked on her breath; it stank!

She immediately opened the door and stood in the doorway.

Upon seeing her return, Liu Guilan hurriedly called out, "Xiao Wan, you're finally back! Where have you been? Quickly bring us your things so we can rest for a while."

"Sister, why don't I keep the things? You can give them to Mom and the others. I won't be jealous. No matter what, you'll always be my best sister." Mu Xiao'e quickly stood up and tried to take Mu Xiaowan's arm.

When Mu Xiaowan saw those greasy hands, she got goosebumps and quickly moved away.

"The restroom is right next to us. Why didn't you go to wash up? I left you towels and soap when I went out earlier."

"Hey, your hands will get dirty after washing them for a while, won't they? You haven't lived in the city for long, but you've already picked up this fussy habit. Tell me quickly, where's the bride price? Give it to me right now." Liu Guilan wouldn't let go until she saw the money.

Mu Xiaowan said calmly, "Mom, you came in time. I've already wired the money. The postman should be able to deliver it to our home in a few days."

"Go back and wait a few days, and you'll receive your money."

"Bullshit, don't try to fool me. If you don't take it, I'll search you. I'll search every room in this house, I'm sure I'll find it." Liu Guilan said, and started to walk out.
