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

Perhaps at first Mu Xiaowan genuinely wanted to marry him, hoping to gain something from him.

Later, Mu Xiaowan told him that they didn't have to get married, and he thought that Mu Xiaowan was using this as a way to back down.

In retrospect, what she said back then might not have been a lie.

She only cooperated later because of his needs.

That's why she signed the contract so readily.

Moreover, he discovered that Mu Xiaowan was different from others.

Nine out of ten girls value their innocence and reputation, but these things seem unimportant to Mu Xiaowan.

She only loves money.

He was not important to Mu Xiaowan. She didn't seem to care about his identity, his personality, or his family.

If you care about him, it's because he allows Mu Xiaowan to make money.

If he had no use whatsoever, he was certain that Mu Xiaowan would completely ignore him.

He couldn't understand Mu Xiaowan.

My previous understanding was gradually overturned.

"Are you really alright? If you're alright, I'm going to sleep." Mu Xiaowan rubbed her pillow and turned to lie down on the side where there was no wound.

This direction is directly facing an empty bed.

When Chu Junbai wasn't around, she slept alone in a big bed, rolling around however she wanted.

If Chu Junbai were here, she would definitely sleep on the right side; this seemed to have become an unspoken habit.

Chu Junbai put away his medicine box, glanced at the dressing table, and then sat down on it.

Ye Jincheng learned from the middleman that his second uncle and his group were the masterminds behind the scenes.

"Second Uncle?" Mu Xiaowan quickly understood. "Their purpose in doing this is simply to get that house."

"So what do you plan to do?" Chu Junbai fiddled with the lighter, but his gaze was fixed on Mu Xiaowan.

Her skin is getting better and better, and the roughness of the past is gone. After washing, it is as white and translucent as freshly fired porcelain.

It made her features look bright and beautiful.

At that moment, a scene of her naked white skin inexplicably flashed into my mind.

Chu Junbai felt a sudden "boom" in his mind, and his body became hot.

He quickly looked away and gazed out the window.

Mu Xiaowan forgot to draw the curtains.

There are still people in the house across the street.

He quickly went over and drew the curtains.

Mu Xiaowan didn't notice these details and asked in return, "So what do you mean?"

“It’s not bad to bring this up in the open and give them a warning.” Chu Junbai continued before he finished speaking, “But from now on, the rift between the two families will be in the open. Grandpa won’t want that. What the old man cares about most is that the family is harmonious and everything will prosper.”

Grandma won't let Mu Xiaowan off easy either. She'll think it's all Mu Xiaowan's fault, that she's made life miserable for several families.

"Since that's the case, let's not say it out loud and let them admit it themselves."

Whether in private or in public, there should be an attitude of admitting mistakes.

She saw Chu Junbai looking at her.

Mu Xiaowan explained, "If I don't mention this to Shaoqing, your second aunt will express her opinion after she finds out."

Chu Junbai, however, disagreed.

"Don't take advantage of Shaoqing. He may seem carefree, but he's actually very naive."

"As my partner, he naturally has the right to know about this," Mu Xiaowan said dismissively.

Although she knew that Chu Shaoqing was naive, he was no longer a child; he was capable of taking responsibility.

"This is my own business, I'll handle it, you go about your business."

“If you can’t handle it, I will. Get back to Ye Jincheng as soon as possible; he wants to close the case.”

Chu Junbai went out to wash up.

When he returned, Mu Xiaowan was already asleep.

She really didn't take him seriously.

How could she sleep so soundly while sleeping in the same bed?

On the contrary, he found it quite agonizing every time he slept in the same bed with Mu Xiaowan.

This is one of the reasons why he didn't come back.

Mu Xiaowan originally wanted to use Chu Shaoqing to give her second aunt a warning, but she didn't expect her second aunt's family to come over for breakfast in the morning.

How could she not cherish an opportunity that was offered to her?

What she said to Chu Junbai yesterday was intentional.

Chu Shaoqing is a very sincere person to her, so why would she take advantage of someone who is so kind to her?

When Mu Xiaowan saw her second aunt's family come in through the door, she pretended to pick up the phone.

"Brother Ye, I want to ask, didn't the person who stole my things say that he got the job through a middleman? Has the middleman been caught? I'm not at ease until he's caught."

Mu Xiaowan paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "What? You caught the middleman? Has the middleman confessed?"

"Great, that's wonderful. I'd like to see who's trying to mess with me. In that case, I'll be right there."

Mu Xiaowan hung up the phone and saw her second aunt and Chu Shaoze exchange a glance before looking at her.

"Xiao Wan, who are you talking to on the phone so early in the morning?"

"Oh, Second Aunt, it's a friend from the Public Security Bureau, and also Junbai's comrade-in-arms. Didn't my warehouse get robbed yesterday? Then he caught the thief. I didn't expect that the thief said that someone specifically asked them to do this, and yesterday they also caught the middleman. Oh, this middleman is the one who connected the thief with the job."

"I have to go and see who is so vicious as to do such a heinous thing after I finish eating."

Bai Jiao'e's expression changed.

With a forced smile, he said, "This police station is really efficient."

That day, Chu Junbai was afraid that his family would worry, so he didn't mention that Mu Xiaowan was injured. He only said that the warehouse had been burgled and that Mu Xiaowan was going back to the army with him because it was too late.

Mu Xiaowan wore a high-necked dress and didn't mention that she was injured, so her family didn't know anything about it; they only knew that she had been robbed.

The old lady said, "It's really not safe. I think you should move out and rent a new storage room. That old house is dilapidated and not safe either."

The old lady was preoccupied with Chu Shaoze, and taking advantage of this situation, she wanted Mu Xiaowan to vacate the house.

"Grandma, it's because something happened there that Brother Ye said they would make that place a priority."

“I was thinking that I could stay there if I got busy, but now it seems that it’s even less safe to stay there. I’d better put my things there first.”

If it's not safe to store things here, wouldn't it be even more unsafe for people to live here?

That old lady is really biased.

Jiang Yinglan continued Mu Xiaowan's words, saying, "Xiaowan is right, this place is fine. But it's not suitable for living in. Luckily, Mom and Dad have always lived here. If you went to live over there, Huaizhi and I wouldn't feel at ease."

Bai Jiao'e was worried that the middleman would expose them, so she had no intention of fighting for the house.

"Shaoze, don't you have something to do and need to go to work early? I see the food isn't ready yet, you can go first."

Bai Jiao'e pushed Chu Shaoze as they were about to leave.

Mu Xiaowan said, "Second Aunt, the food is ready. We're waiting for you. Let your brother eat before he leaves. Going to work on an empty stomach isn't good for his stomach."

"Have your older brother buy some food on the way. His work is no ordinary matter; these are all important matters right before the New Year."

Chu Shaoze understood what his mother meant.

"Grandpa and Grandma, I can't have dinner with you two anymore, I have to go now."

Chu Shaoze then went out the door.

"This child has such a strong sense of responsibility that he doesn't even have time to eat," the old lady said with heartache.

After Chu Shaoze left, Bai Jiao'e's eyes darted around and she said, "Look at my brain, there's something I forgot to tell Shaoze."

She made up an excuse for herself and quickly went out.
