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

Mu Xiaowan had considered many reasons why Bai Jiao'e tried to justify herself, but this reason truly shocked her.

Bai Jiao'e is planning to drag Mu Xiao'e into the mess.

"Second Aunt, I didn't understand. Could you explain it more clearly?"

"Xiao Wan, I didn't originally plan to tell you about this, but now that things have gotten so big, I can't keep it from you anymore."

“That night I overheard Xiao’e on the phone, but there were some things I didn’t understand. Now that I hear you say it, it all makes sense.”

Bai Jiao'e sighed and said, "I think your sister must have heard what we said that day."

“Xiao Wan, I didn’t know your sister was so stubborn. You said that just because you wouldn’t let him work for me, he held a grudge against you and did something wrong.”

Mu Xiaowan paused for a moment as she put on her clothes.

Bai Jiao'e's excuse was really good; it completely absolved them of any responsibility.

"Second Aunt, no matter who he is, if he wants my life, then I have no reason to show mercy. I'll go to the police station and see what to do."

Mu Xiaowan's expression turned cold.

She grabbed the scarf and was about to leave when Bai Jiao'e saw that she was ruthless and didn't even spare her own sister, and she really panicked.

She quickly blocked Mu Xiaowan's path.

“Xiao Wan, as the saying goes, family scandals should not be aired in public. Xiao E is your own sister. You can just teach her a few words, there’s no need to make such a fuss. You may think it’s nothing, but what kind of family is our Chu family? If this gets out, your reputation may be small, but the reputation of the Chu family will be huge.”

PUA her?

That eloquence must have been honed through working in pyramid schemes!

No wonder he could coax the old lady into giving him whatever she wanted.

"Then, according to Second Aunt's wishes, I won't pursue this matter?"

“Aren’t we all family? Let’s talk things out behind closed doors. Your younger sister is young and doesn’t understand things, so you’re her older sister, so please be more understanding.”

Mu Xiaowan looked at Bai Jiao'e, her clear eyes as sharp as icicles in winter.

Bai Jiao'e's heart pounded, and her eyes flickered.

"Second Aunt, Mu Xiao'e is my sister. If she really did this, she's ruthless to her own sister. She's utterly heartless. If she's not disciplined, she'll only do even bigger things in the future."

"Given the current situation, I can't control her, so it wouldn't hurt to let the police handle it."

Bai Jiao'e became anxious when she saw that Mu Xiaowan was very persistent.

"Xiao Wan, why don't you understand what I mean? If your grandfather and the others knew that your sister is this kind of person, they would inevitably have a bad impression of you. You've only just married into this family, and you still have a long life ahead of you."

Bai Jiao'e, fearing that Mu Xiaowan would still stubbornly refuse to budge, added, "How about this? Your sister was left behind by me, and I also bear some responsibility for what happened. I'll give you a hundred. See if there were any losses to the goods. Use the rest of the money to buy yourself some nutritional supplements, and we'll call it even."

Mu Xiaowan sneered inwardly.

Did Bai Jiao'e think that her 100 grams represented the weight of gold?

You think you can just get rid of her with this little bit of money?

This is a lot of money compared to ordinary families, but if Bai Jiao'e gave it to her, it would be no different from giving her away as a beggar.

“Second Aunt, this isn’t about money. If I let Mu Xiao’e go this time, what if she seeks revenge again? I think we should teach her a lesson.”

"No way! Xiaowan, I think your sister did this on impulse, and she probably already regrets it. She definitely won't do it again."

"How about this, Second Aunt, I'll go see Mu Xiao'e first and see what she has to say?"

Bai Jiao'e quickly covered for them, saying, "We ate here this morning. Xiao'e wasn't busy this morning, so she probably went out. You know her personality; she can't stay at home."

"Should I go back and check? If she's home, I'll make her come over and apologize to you in person, and you can give her a good scolding."

As Bai Jiao'e left, she patted Mu Xiaowan's hand and said, "Don't be impulsive. I'll go back and check on things."

Before Mu Xiaowan could speak, Bai Jiao'e left, as if afraid that Mu Xiaowan would go directly to her door to ask.

After Bai Jiao'e left, Jiang Yinglan came in.

Mu Xiaowan relayed Bai Jiao'e's words to Jiang Yinglan.

Jiang Yinglan said angrily, "Your second aunt has always been like this; even a monkey isn't as clever as her."

"Let's wait and see how she handles this. Actually, it would be better if she didn't know that it was your second uncle and his group who did it. But if she does know, she'll have to consider the Chu family's reputation to some extent."

Mu Xiaowan understood that even if everyone supported her, she couldn't do anything to Bai Jiao'e. She understood, and everyone else understood too.

What she's trying to do is maximize her own benefit.

Bai Jiao'e returned shortly afterward, bringing Mu Xiao'e with her.

The smile on her face showed that Mu Xiao'e had been persuaded.

as predicted.

Upon seeing her, Mu Xiao'e looked guilty and begged for forgiveness.

"Sister, I'm sorry, it was my fault."

"I shouldn't have been angry that you didn't help me, and I did this in a fit of anger."

"I...I was just jealous of you. I just couldn't understand why you wouldn't help me now that you're doing so well. I wanted to help out at your shop, but you wouldn't take me. So I felt resentful and, in a moment of weakness, I did this. Please forgive me."

Bai Jiao'e quickly chimed in, "Xiao Wan, since your sister knows she was wrong, let's give her a chance. She's still young. If she gets arrested and taken to the police station, how will she ever get married?"

Are you treating her like a fool?

Mu Xiaowan sneered, "Mu Xiao'e, I didn't expect that you would have made friends with a bunch of gangsters so soon after arriving in the provincial capital. I just want to know where you got the money to hire them? You didn't steal it from your second aunt's house, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jiao'e quickly waved her hand to indicate that it wasn't like that.

Mu Xiaowan didn't give her a chance to explain. She approached Mu Xiao'e with a cold expression.

"Don't tell me you're close to those people, to the point of being friends, so they'd go through fire and water for you without asking for a penny. If that's the case, then the police really need to come and deal with you."

Upon hearing the word "Police Station," Mu Xiao'e became somewhat frightened and looked at Bai Jiao'e.

Bai Jiao'e smiled and grabbed Mu Xiaowan's arm. "Xiaowan, don't scare your sister. Look how frightened she is! This shows that she sincerely apologizes."

"As for the money, Xiao'e hasn't given it to those people yet. Where would she get any money? She's just fooling them."

Bai Jiao'e was afraid that if she revealed that Mu Xiao'e was rich, she would have to make up for the difference.

She secretly gave Mu Xiao'e a meaningful look.

Mu Xiao'e understood and stepped forward to grab Mu Xiaowan's hand. "Sister, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time! I promise I will never cause trouble again."
