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

Mu Xiaowan didn't want to come, but she wanted to see if Mu Xiao'e was there.

When Mu Xiaowan saw that the person who opened the door was Mu Xiao'e, her face instantly turned as cold as ice. She thought to herself, "Mu Xiao'e is really something, she actually won't listen to advice."

Ignoring Mu Xiaowan's coldness, Mu Xiao'e's face beamed with a radiant smile. She affectionately took Mu Xiaowan's arm and said in a sweet voice, "Sister, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long."

The old woman standing in the yard asked sternly, "Who is she?"

Bai Jiao'e came out of the house as soon as she heard the voices.

"Mom, I was just about to introduce you to her today. This is Xiaowan's younger sister, Xiao'e. She is very clever and well-behaved."

Mu Xiao'e immediately greeted the elders politely.

Old Mrs. Chu slightly raised her eyelids, which were as thin as withered tree bark, her eyes filled with disdain and disgust. She looked at Mu Xiaowan and said very rudely, "Hmph, she's only been married for a few days and these poor relatives are already coming to her door. She's so young, and she doesn't know how to be independent. She just wants to rely on her husband's family."

In Old Mrs. Chu's mind, Mu Xiaowan was a nuisance; it was Mu Xiaowan who made the Chu family lose face.

It was a disgrace to the Chu family; she wished she could get rid of it as soon as possible.

Therefore, he naturally couldn't feel happy seeing Mu Xiao'e.

Because their whole family is quite resourceful.

Mu Xiao'e pretended not to hear, still smiling, and called out affectionately, "Grandma, when my sister got married, she originally wanted to go and pay her respects to you, but she left in a hurry and didn't have time."

"I apologize to you here."

Seeing that Mu Xiao'e was very polite, the old lady glanced at Mu Xiaowan and thought that this one was better than Mu Xiaowan.

Who are you trying to impress by pretending to be aloof like a poor country bumpkin?

"Mom, come in first, I'll tell you."

Bai Jiao'e wanted to curry favor with Mu Xiaowan, so she naturally spoke in Mu Xiaowan's favor.

“Mom, it’s not Xiao’e’s fault. I found it myself. Relatives should look out for each other. I met Xiao Wan’s sister on the street looking for work. I thought we were short-handed at home, and since it’s profitable for anyone, why not let my own family earn money?”

Mu Xiao'e tactfully said, "Please sit down first, I'll help Aunt Han serve the dishes."

As Mu Xiao'e walked out, she turned back to look at Mu Xiaowan and gave her a sweet smile.

Mu Xiaowan nodded slightly to her. With the Chu family present, it wasn't appropriate for her to break off relations.

Jiang Yinglan pulled her aside and asked.

"What's going on here? Why didn't you tell me?"

Jiang Yinglan thought that Mu Xiaowan and Bai Jiao'e had gotten together.

Otherwise, Bai Jiao'e is the kind of person who doesn't act without a reason, so why would she help Mu Xiaowan for no reason?

"Mom, to be honest, I didn't know about this. I did run into them yesterday, and I told my sister not to work here, but she wouldn't listen."

"You're good at doing the work, but it's best not to cause any more trouble. You've already caused the Chu family a lot of problems. I don't want you to drag Junbai down with you."

I don't know what Bai Jiao'e said to the old lady, but she didn't say anything sarcastic.

Mu Xiao'e did not sit at the table during the meal; she ate in the kitchen with Aunt Han.

Aunt Han was the nanny for my second uncle's family. She had to leave, and Mu Xiao'e came to replace her.

Mu Xiaowan knows Mu Xiao'e's true worth better than anyone else.

Mu Xiao'e is incompetent; she does all the housework.

Mu Xiao'e definitely won't last long here.

She was just worried that Mu Xiao'e was dishonest and that her second aunt's family had many valuable items, which Mu Xiao'e would find hard to ignore.

This is very disadvantageous for her.

Since Mu Xiao'e couldn't be persuaded, she had no choice but to try her luck with Bai Jiao'e.

Mu Xiao'e ate her meal quietly.

At the dinner table, Bai Jiao'e kept praising Mu Xiao'e for being diligent, capable, and quick-witted.

Mu Xiaowan remained silent.

The old lady gave Mu Mu Xiaowan a cold look.

He increasingly felt that the marriage should be dissolved as soon as possible.

Mu Xiao'e would come over from time to time to add rice, ladle soup, and pour hot water for them while they were eating.

They even went out of their way to help the old lady pick out the fish bones.

"Xiao'e, sit next to your sister and eat together. We're all family, so don't avoid eating."

"Second Aunt, I can eat anywhere, it's fine."

Although Mu Xiao'e said this, her eyes were always on Mu Xiaowan.

But Mu Xiaowan said, "My sister is just that serious. She does things in a very particular way and doesn't like breaking the rules. Second Aunt, don't force her, otherwise she won't feel at ease even if she sits here."

Mu Xiao'e: "..."

This truly dashed her hopes of sitting here.

Mu Xiaowan is truly heartless now!

She didn't really want to work here as a nanny.

She wanted to use the Chu family's status to either find her a job or help her find a husband's family like the Chu family.

But they actually let her sit in the kitchen to eat.

She's not like a nanny.

Mu Xiao'e felt extremely insulted.

Seeing that Mu Xiao'e wasn't leaving, Mu Xiaowan put down her chopsticks and stood up to avoid making the situation awkward.

"I went with Xiao'e to the kitchen to boil some water. Grandma and Grandpa like to make tea after meals. He doesn't know how strong the tea is, so I reminded him."

When no one was looking, Mu Xiaowan pulled Mu Xiao'e into the corridor.

“You ignored what I said. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. The Chu family is no ordinary family. With your intelligence, trying to gain any advantage is just wishful thinking.”

Mu Xiaowan saw through Mu Xiao'e's thoughts at a glance.

Mu Xiao'e was stubborn and refused to give up until she hit a wall. She said nonchalantly, "Since my sister doesn't care about me, I naturally have to survive. What else can I do if I don't earn money myself?"

Suddenly, Mu Xiao'e's gaze fell on Mu Xiaowan's hands.

"Sister, your watch is so beautiful, I can't take my eyes off it. Can I hold it and take a good look at it?" Mu Xiao'e's eyes were full of longing and expectation, but behind that expectation was a subtle calculation.

This is the watch that Chu Shaoqing helped Mu Xiaowan fix.

It's more accurate to say that the two collaborated, with Mu Xiaowan providing guidance and Chu Shaoqing handling the tasks.

But you always need a pretext when dealing with external parties.

Mu Xiaowan quite liked this watch; it looked very high-end and sophisticated.

Unexpectedly, after wearing it for only a few days, Mu Xiao'e noticed it.

"It's just a timekeeping device, what's so interesting about it?"

Seeing that Mu Xiaowan wouldn't give it to her, Mu Xiao'e cursed inwardly.

The Chu family was so big that she could easily get some pocket money, so she didn't fight for it.

After meal.

Mu Xiaowan found Bai Jiao'e and said bluntly, "Second Aunt, I don't want my sister to work here."

“I know her abilities. She can’t do laundry or cook, and Mu Xiao’e is rather careless. If you really want to help me, then find her a job outside. I will remember your kindness.”

Bai Jiao'e thought Mu Xiaowan would be very happy, but now it seems that she wasn't.
