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

"Mu Xiaowan, don't push your luck. You framed Yongsheng, hurt Yongsheng, and now you want to extort money from him?"

Even snakes and scorpions aren't as venomous as you.

Ge Qingran glared angrily at Mu Xiaowan. She had never seen such a vicious and ruthless woman in her life.

"Thank you for the compliment. So, are you going to pay me or not? If not, I'll leave now and come back tomorrow. If you settle the payment in one lump sum, you'll have more free time in the future, won't you?"

Ge Qingran looked shocked.

How can there be such shameless people in the world?

"Mu Xiaowan, aren't you afraid I'll report you to the police?"

"Then go ahead and see if the police believe me or He Yongsheng." Only an idiot like you wouldn't believe me.

They even thought they were very clever.

Never judge a book by its cover, and never underestimate any enemy, or you won't even know how you died.

"Mu Xiaowan, don't think that just because you have Chu Junbai and the Chu family, you can do whatever you want."

He Yongsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mu Xiaowan hadn't exposed him. It was better to get rid of this troublesome person as soon as possible.

"Qingran, no matter what we say now, we're at a disadvantage because I'm a man."

Ge Qingran looked at He Yongsheng with heartache and even a sense of guilt.

Why would she have such thoughts these past two days?

What man in this world could be more sincere to her than He Yongsheng?

Even in his current state, he's still thinking about her and making plans for her.

"Yongsheng, you're so foolish. It's not worth it for a woman like that. If only you had met me sooner, you wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble."

Mu Xiaowan: "..."

Love-struck to the core!

She prayed to heaven, hoping that the two of them would be bound together for all eternity.

He Yongsheng hadn't finished acting yet; he looked at Mu Xiaowan with pleading eyes.

"Give me two days, and I will definitely give you the money. Please keep your word. I also beg you, please don't let this matter implicate Qingran; she is innocent."

……

This has absolutely nothing to do with Ge Qingran.

She used her to gain favor with Ge Qingran.

However, this cleverness is indeed suitable for Ge Qingran.

Unfortunately, she wasn't a kind person either.

She naturally wouldn't say anything.

"Mu Xiaowan, all you want is money, right? I'll give it to you."

Ge Qingran helped He Yongsheng sit down and comforted him, "Yongsheng, don't worry, I'm here for you. I'll give her the money right now, and I promise I won't let anything happen to you."

Ge Qingran glared at Mu Xiaowan, then opened the door and ran out.

As soon as Ge Qingran left, Mu Xiaowan clapped her hands twice.

"So that's how you tricked Ge Qingran into your hands, amazing!"

"It seems you'll have no problem catching her in the future. Remember to hold on tight; she's your only lifeline. Even if you're crippled, you're not dead. As long as you're alive, you still need to eat and drink."

"Mu Xiaowan, you bitch, you..."

“He Yongsheng, this matter isn’t over yet. If you keep using such foul language, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

"If Ge Qingran finds out you lied to him, do you think it's better for you to die now, or to be despised by the world in the future?"

"you……"

"So don't mess with me, I'm someone you can't afford to mess with."

He Yongsheng was seething with anger, but he dared not lash out.

A short while later, Ge Qingran returned.

She was holding a handful of loose change in her hand.

There were large sums of money and small share of the profits, but she didn't mind any money involved.

Back then, every penny counted, unlike now where nobody cares about a dime.

"Mu Xiaowan, here's the money. From now on, we're even. I hope you stay away from Yongsheng and stop hurting him. You've ruined his life."

Mu Xiaowan took the money and started counting it.

Ge Qingran was angered again.

"Who do I think I am? Besides, I've already spent hundreds, why would I be short of a few measly coins?"

"This money is different from other things; it's best to count it in person, otherwise no one will be able to explain it later, right?"

……

Mu Xiaowan counted the money and put it in her pocket.

My mood immediately improved.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. I won't disturb your sweet talk any longer!"

Mu Xiaowan left the ward completely, and thoughtfully closed the door behind her.

Once the door is closed, no matter how disgusting they are, they won't be able to disgust her anymore.

When Mu Xiaowan walked out of the hospital corridor, she saw An Muxue on the other side. She glanced at her, then looked away as if she hadn't seen her and walked straight on.

She went to the shop.

He's received a windfall today and he absolutely has to spend it, otherwise he's afraid he won't be able to keep it.

Mu Xiaowan used part of the money she received to settle accounts with the workers.

I bought them a few more packs of cigarettes.

Seeing that Mu Xiaowan was in a good mood, Chu Shaoqing asked, "Sister-in-law, did something happy happen today? Tell me about it, so I can be happy too."

"I closed a deal today, and your sister-in-law will treat you to Peking duck this afternoon."

"Or you can eat whatever you want, it's all on me. Just eat to your heart's content today."

Chu Shaoqing thought it was related to the shop.

He was overjoyed, "Sister-in-law, you're amazing! What kind of business did you negotiate?"

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, but you deserve credit for this."

Mu Xiaowan inspected the newly painted wooden windows. The craftsmen were really meticulous; the paint was very glossy.

Cabinets are being built in the house right now, and the workers are doing their best.

According to the construction schedule, it should be able to open by the end of this month.

Shops are different from residences; no one lives there, so there's no need to worry about formaldehyde.

Once everything is installed, we can open for business.

"Shaoqing, I went to check out the goods at a few wholesalers yesterday. Come with me later and see if we know anyone there who can negotiate a lower price for us. This is our first time doing business, so they're bound to raise the prices. That way, we won't make much money."

"Moreover, when a new store opens, we have to lower our prices compared to other grocery stores, otherwise why would people buy our products?"

"Of course, even if we know someone, it doesn't mean we can't let them make money. It just means we'll give them a little benefit in the initial stage."

In fact, you can make money no matter what business you do in this era.

At first, they were clueless about the process and worried about being scammed.

The best way is to find someone you know.

The acquaintances of today are different from those of modern times; they genuinely want to help you.

Especially the people Chu Shaoqing knows; although he seems to be idle and irresponsible, the people he befriends are all quite loyal.

Moreover, Chu Junbai said that he has a wide network of connections, so he must be quite good.

"Okay, I'll have someone ask about it tomorrow."

The two stayed in the shop until after 5 p.m. before leaving.

They went to the grocery store first and noted down the prices.

The two then went to eat roast duck.

This roast duck restaurant is a branch owned by a boss from Kyoto. It's very popular. They called to make a reservation this afternoon, otherwise there definitely wouldn't be any seats available if we went now.

In fact, the food of this era is by no means backward; it is very authentic and the portions are large, making it particularly satisfying to eat.

Besides her love for technology, Mu Xiaowan's only other hobby is eating. Before even entering the restaurant, she could smell the aroma of roast duck, and her stomach started rumbling.

The two were led up to the second floor by a waiter.

Mu Xiaowan didn't expect that the roast duck restaurant was so high-end, and that she could see the roast duck in person and even choose one herself.

The ducks were suspended by iron hooks. Eight or nine ducks hung in the roasting room, which was about one and a half meters high. The duck oil sizzled as it was rendered, and the air was filled with the aroma of roasted duck.

"Big brother!"

Mu Xiaowan's eyes were shining as she looked at the ducks in the roasting room when she heard Chu Shaoqing's voice.
