Chapter 146 Her in-laws came to pick her up and take her home.
"It's none of your business how we do things."
Chu Junbai originally wanted to say a few words to Ye Jincheng, but upon hearing this, he kicked the coffee table, which scraped against the floor with a screeching sound.
"Ye Jincheng, you don't need to keep an eye on Mu Xiaowan anymore."
"As long as we don't get divorced, she will always be my wife, and no one, not even a brother, can get close to her!
Chu Junbai turned and walked towards the door.
Ye Jincheng stared at Chu Junbai's resolute and cold back, and shouted unwillingly, "You have no feelings for him. Why do you keep her by your side? You two are fundamentally incompatible. You made a mistake before, are you going to make that mistake for the rest of your life?"
"Who says I have no feelings for her?"
Only he can decide whether it's right or wrong!
Chu Junbai left a message and strode out. His resolute demeanor reflected the determination he had made in his heart.
Ye Jincheng's hands involuntarily clenched and tightened.
Yes, Chu Junbai came running around like a madman early in the morning because of Mu Xiaowan. How can you say there's no affection between them?
Ye Jincheng glanced at the messy room, changed his clothes, and went out.
He was riding his sidecar motorcycle past the grocery store when he saw the door was locked. He didn't stop and drove on.
When Mu Xiaowan woke up again, it was already nine o'clock. Chu Shaoqing hadn't come, so Mu Xiaowan had to clean up by herself.
At noon, Chu Junbai kept his word and brought Mu Xiaowan's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, as well as a bucket of chicken soup.
After delivering the food, Chu Junbai didn't rush to leave. He found a ladder, went up to the roof, replaced the broken tiles, and wrung out the loose electrical wires.
They swept the road in front of the door with a broom and even helped move the pots and pans that hadn't been moved inside to the outside.
Just as Mu Xiaowan was halfway through her meal, Ye Jincheng arrived.
When Mu Xiaowan saw Ye Jincheng, her face softened.
"Brother Ye, have you eaten yet? There's a lot of sweet and sour pork ribs and chicken soup from home that I can't finish. Let's have some together."
Ye Jincheng glanced at Chu Junbai, who gave him a sidelong look before lowering his head to continue working.
Ye Jincheng snorted, but turned back to Mu Xiaowan and said softly, "No, I've already eaten. I came to talk to you about Chu Shaoting."
Mu Xiaowan didn't speak to Chu Junbai, so she didn't know how her family dealt with Chu Shaoting afterwards.
"Chu Shaoting went to have an abortion last night, but we raided the illegal maternity clinic. Chu Shaoting couldn't have the procedure done, and we even arrested her."
Mu Xiaowan wasn't too surprised; those who did illegal things were bound to get caught sooner or later.
As for Chu Shaoting, it's hard to say whether she was lucky or unlucky.
She was unlucky enough to save her uterus. Otherwise, in this poorly equipped place, it's hard to say whether she could have survived.
She's lucky, though; her pregnancy can't be kept secret any longer!
Mu Xiaowan was curious about who the man was who got Chu Shaoting pregnant.
When Chu Shaoting's pregnancy was discovered, she secretly tried to find a solution, never considering contacting the man. She figured the man who had gotten her pregnant wasn't suitable for a marriage alliance with the Chu family; otherwise, Chu Shaoting wouldn't have had to bear such immense pressure alone.
"Where is Chu Shaoting now?"
"He wasn't feeling well, so the Chu family took him to the hospital again."
Now let's see how Chu Shaoting tries to argue her way out of this.
She must have planned to have surgery last night. She was vehemently denying it today. Little did she know, everything would fall apart because of her.
"But Chu Shaoting won't say anything, and those people who were arrested are also tight-lipped; we can't get anything out of them. We need to interrogate them again."
After fixing the stool, Chu Junbai saw the two chatting intimately, so he came over and sat down, pouring himself a glass of water.
Mu Xiaowan had no idea that the two had quarreled that morning. Seeing that they were ignoring each other and looking like they were having a fight, she raised an eyebrow.
"What happened to you two?"
"It's okay!"
They spoke in unison, then neither looked at the other.
This doesn't seem like nothing's wrong.
They look like two children having a tiff.
Mu Xiaowan ate a few bites of food and was about to look for her water glass when, unexpectedly, their long arms grabbed her water glass together.
Mu Xiaowan frowned when she saw that both of them had their hands on the water glasses and neither was giving way.
Something's definitely going on between these two; they don't look like they're alright at all.
“If you have something to do, go ahead and do your business. I still have to run my business.”
"I'm not busy these two days, I'll stay and help you." Chu Junbai glanced at Ye Jincheng and said confidently.
Ye Jincheng returned the glance, not to be outdone.
"I have something to do, so I'll go take care of it now. I'll let you know when I have any updates."
Ye Jincheng was so busy that he barely had time to breathe. He took some time to come and see Mu Xiaowan, and also to check if Chu Junbai was still going crazy.
He didn't know what had happened, but that kid just deserved a beating.
After Ye Jincheng left, Chu Junbai also went out halfway through. Mu Xiaowan thought he wouldn't come back, since he wouldn't be going home to stay that night anyway.
Around nine o'clock, just as she was about to close the door, Jiang Yinglan and Chu Huaizhi arrived unexpectedly.
This was Chu Huaizhi's first time visiting the shop.
He instructed the company to purchase the goods; he never actually came to the site.
Seeing that the layout and arrangement here were quite good, he nodded approvingly.
Mu Xiaowan quickly invited them to sit down.
"Mom and Dad, why are you here?"
She actually knew the general reason why the two elders had come.
I don't know what Chu Junbai said to his family yesterday.
"Xiao Wan, Mom won't beat around the bush with you. Your dad and I came here today because we want you to go back home and stay there."
It seems that her guess was correct.
Mr. Bi believed that his wife had hit him, so she stubbornly refused to go back and asked her in-laws to come over, which was already giving her a great way out.
“Yesterday Junbai called and said he was very tired and didn’t want to go anywhere, so he wanted to stay at the shop with you. But this shop is nothing like home. It’s much more comfortable at home, with food and drink.”
Unexpectedly, Chu Junbai used him as an excuse.
“This is a shop, it’s not convenient for the two of you to live here.”
Mu Xiaowan thought, what's inconvenient about living alone? It's actually inconvenient when so many people live in the house.
Chu Huai said, "Yes, no matter how warm it is here, it's not as good as home. Your mother and I are worried about you and Junbai living here. You should go back home."
Mu Xiaowan, however, leisurely invited the two to sit down and even brought out her homemade health-preserving tea.
“Dad, Mom, we’re family now, so I won’t hold back anymore. Ever since I found out that Shaoting had ulterior motives towards me, I’ve been worried about something. I’m always afraid that someone will do something to my little shop. It feels like a knife is at my throat, and I don’t know when it will fall.”
"I don't feel at ease if I don't keep an eye on the shop."
Jiang Yinglan took Mu Xiaowan's hand, sighed, and said, "Mom knows what you're thinking. We've watched that child grow up since he was little, but we never expected him to be so vicious. Your grandmother shouldn't have protected him without even knowing the facts. Your father and I also can't stand her actions."
