She walked over and said, "They said they didn't take any money. Now, let's see if anyone went into the bedroom before?"

“My mom and grandpa have left. Come with me to tell them what happened. I'll apologize on their behalf.”

Chu Junbai glanced at Chu Shaoqing, who was leaning against the corner of the wall smoking.

It's not too late to ask later; there's no rush.

He and Mu Xiaowan went into the tent together. Mu Xiaowan explained what had happened and apologized.

Grandma Chu was overjoyed that they had left. It would have been a disgrace to the Chu family to sit and eat with them.

So she said a few nice things about Mu Xiaowan.

Bai Jiao'e was very unhappy when her plan fell through, and her enthusiasm for entertaining people disappeared.

Those useless bunch of good-for-nothings.

All talk and no action. They thought they had some real ability, but they were easily dismissed by Mu Xiaowan.

Jiang Yinglan was also satisfied with Mu Xiaowan's approach.

However, this does not mean that she has feelings for Mu Xiaowanrong.

The wedding was like a suspense drama, full of twists and turns.

it is finally over.

Mu Xiaowan had just untied her hair and was about to remove her makeup and wash her face when she heard a knock on the door.

Mu Xiaowan thought it was Chu Junbai, but when she opened the door, she saw Chu Zhihui instead.

"Mom is looking for you!"

"Okay, then I'll wash up and go downstairs."

"You'd better not stay too long, your grandparents are waiting in the living room too."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaowan abandoned her idea of ​​washing up.

"By the way, Zhihui, you said you saw Chu Shaoting enter our room today. Were you alone at the time? Did anyone else see her?"

"No, she came out of your room and rushed downstairs. If I hadn't seen her come out of your door, I would have thought she came out of the next room."

Chu Zhihui suddenly remembered something else.

"Oh, I also heard her telling Zhang Ma not to let anyone else into the bridal chamber. Your betrothal gifts are still inside. She told Zhang Ma to keep an eye out. There are a lot of people today, so don't let thieves take advantage of the situation."

Mu Xiaowan said, "She was saying it on the second floor, and her voice was really loud, right?"

"Yes, I could hear her talking clearly from outside in my room."

Mu Xiaowan sneered; it seemed her new house had indeed been burgled by several groups of thieves.

Chu Shaoting did this to get her family to steal money, and then escalate the matter to embarrass her.

This also made the eldest son's family a laughingstock, and they were ridiculed by the world.

Another point is that Chu Shaoting wanted to take advantage of the situation.

She wanted to kill two birds with one stone; she not only wanted someone to disrupt the wedding, but she was also tempted by the money.

Chu Shaoting just thought too much of her.

This morning, her eyelids started twitching badly as soon as she woke up, and she had a feeling that something was going to happen.

She was worried, so she asked Chu Shaoqing, the only person she trusted at the moment, to help her deposit the money in the bank. She only kept fifty yuan.

She simply stuffed the fifty yuan into a sock and tossed it carelessly into the corner of the wardrobe.

Surprisingly, the money inside survived several waves of thieves without being stolen.

If she hadn't entrusted the money to Chu Shaoqing today, she probably wouldn't have been able to hide it.

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

Did you lose something?

"It's okay, you've had a long day, go to sleep."

After Chu Zhihui left, Mu Xiaowan buttoned up her clothes and prepared to go downstairs.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Chu Junbai, who was about to open the door, when I went out.

Chu Junbai started unbuttoning his shirt as soon as he entered, saying as he walked in, "No need to go."

Mu Xiaowan: "?"

"The elders wanted to talk to you because they wanted to know about your mother and the others leaving, and why they suddenly came here. I've already explained it to them."

Explanation? How did Chu Junbai explain it?

He knows nothing.

And doesn't he dislike her? So why is he helping her?

"Don't look at me like that. After we get married, you will be my wife. I understand the principle that we share both prosperity and adversity."

"Of course, I have my reasons for doing this. I help you solve your problem, and you help me get what I want from you, so we're even."

Mu Xiaowan didn't care, as long as the result was good.

"So how did you explain it?"

“Your parents favor sons over daughters and sell their daughters for personal gain. Their thinking is outdated. Your reluctance to let them come is also for the good of the Chu family.”

Chu Junbai's room was not far from the guest room where the Mu family was staying, so their loud shouts reached Chu Junbai's ears.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a cruel mother.

She actually wants to marry her daughter off to an old bachelor, all for a mere 20 yuan.

He finally understood why Mu Xiaowan hadn't informed her family; it wasn't that she was materialistic or prejudiced against the poor.

As she said, she simply didn't want them to disrupt the wedding.

Ultimately, this is all for the good of the Chu family.

So he told his elders the truth and naturally gained their understanding.

His mother didn't want his second aunt to laugh at her, so she didn't investigate further.

"Come over and sign the contract."

He walked to his desk, opened a drawer, and took out the contract he had written.

"Do you need me to read it again?"

"No need, I've already seen it."

"Is there anything you'd like to add? You can say it. If it's reasonable, we can write it down. If it's unreasonable, we can discuss it. This is a fair deal; there's no coercion involved."

Chu Junbai discovered that Mu Xiaowan still had a rebellious streak. If he forced her to do something, and she developed a rebellious attitude, then the information he obtained would be of little use.

First, it's untrue; second, it's unreliable.

So, the reason he helped Mu Xiaowan resolve this matter was that he wanted Mu Xiaowan to genuinely do things for him.

"I have one request: whatever I want to do in the future, you have to support me unconditionally, and if necessary, you have to cover for me."

"Of course, what I do will not violate morality, nor will I commit murder or arson."

Chu Junbai straightened up and looked at her.

"You might as well just say it directly. That way we can cooperate better; otherwise, I can't agree to it."

Mu Xiaowan said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to start a business. I don't know if my family will agree. I need your help, and I don't have that much capital. I need your investment. Don't worry, I'll definitely give you the money I make later. If you're not comfortable with that, we can sign a contract."

"Or we can sign a loan contract, and you can just calculate the amount for me based on the interest."

Mu Xiaowan had her own plans.

Chu Junbai raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "You want to do business?"

"Well, I can't just stay in the Chu family and retire, I want to open a shop."

Chu Junbai frowned.

At this moment, he actually felt as if he was gradually falling into Mu Xiaowan's trap.

Mu Xiaowan must have already thought it through.

She wouldn't have said such things if she hadn't been prepared.

"So what kind of business do you want to do?"
