Mu Qing, hounded by marriage pressure to the point of not daring to return home, rented her elder brother's classmate, Ye Junbo, to pretend to be her husband, all for the sake of a peaceful lif...
"Mom, I swear to God, if I dare to disrespect you, I will be struck by lightning."
Mu Qing cried out for justice.
Zhang Guifeng glared at her.
Mu Qing said helplessly: "Mom, to be honest, I don't know what happened. I won't lie to you. My biological mother and I were secretly sent back by my father. Now there is also a Mu Qing and a Chen Yimo in Wangcheng. They are just substitutes for me and my biological mother."
"Junbo is hiding something from me, and I'm mad at him."
Hearing this, Zhang Guifeng fell silent. She thought for a long time and then said, "Mom heard your brother talk about the situation in your Lan family. Maybe something bad is really going to happen. Qingqing, after dinner, you and your mother should take your brother's car back to the city and live with your in-laws. It's safer there than here with Mom."
Mu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'll stay home for a while and spend some quality time with you. Since my dad has made this arrangement, he'll definitely keep the news a secret. With my mom and my bodyguards back in Wangcheng, no one will think we've returned to City A."
"For now, no matter where we live, as long as we are in City A, we are safe."
After a pause, she said, "I'm just worried about Junbo. He didn't even discuss it with me and just helped Dad do this. How could he act on his own? That's my family affair!"
She was worried about both her father and her husband.
No matter who it is, she hopes everything is fine.
Zhang Guifeng sighed, "Junbo's love for you is as deep as the ocean, and he values your life more than his own. Qingqing, don't overthink it, everything will be fine. If you and your mother still want to return to Wangcheng, Mom... will support you too!"
"You and Junbo are husband and wife, and you should share joys and sorrows. In your words, that's your biological parents' family's business. Junbo excluded you from it. Even though he was protecting you, you still feel uneasy."
"However, Qingqing, no matter what happens, the first thing to do is to save your life. Everything else is just material possessions. As long as you are alive, you can always regain what you have lost."
Mu Qing couldn't help but hug her adoptive mother. Her voice choked with emotion, "Mom, I will. If... anything happens, you can just pretend you've never seen this unfilial daughter of mine. If there's an afterlife, I'd like to be your biological daughter and honor you for the rest of my life."
"Ah, bah, that's auspicious, hurry up and spit before you speak."
Zhang Guifeng immediately pushed her daughter away, scolding her for her nonsense. "Mom has already had your fortune told. The fortuneteller said you are destined to be rich and powerful, and you will have a good marriage. You and your husband will live together until old age, and you will have many children and grandchildren."
"Don't say that again. Mom doesn't like it. Go catch the chickens. Take the fattest one with the bigger legs."
Mu Qing wiped away her tears and responded, "You're welcome, I still prefer the free-range chickens raised at home. They're especially delicious."
At the Lan family, they ate delicacies from land and sea every day, but what she missed was still the home-cooked meals of the Mu family.
"That's natural. Free-range chickens are tastier than caged chickens. Do you want boiled chicken or roast chicken?"
"Let's eat boiled chicken. People in City A like to eat boiled chicken."
Zhang Guifeng responded, "Okay."
The mother and daughter caught the biggest chicken and went back to the kitchen to slaughter it.
Shen Yimo didn't know what the mother and daughter were talking about in the backyard. After hearing them talking in the kitchen, she came in to watch. Seeing Mu Qing skillfully helping her foster mother kill the chicken, Shen Yimo's eyes were filled with tenderness.
My daughter seems to be very happy living in the Lan family. Now with the comparison, Shen Yimo knows that Qingqing still prefers life in the Mu family.
After all, this is where she has lived for more than 20 years.
…
Suanyuan Coffee Shop.
Xu Susu sat in her usual seat, stirring the coffee in the cup with a spoon, but her eyes were looking at the street scene outside the window.
After Yang Xi collected the money from the two customers, he saw that no one was about to pay and leave yet, so he walked over and sat down in front of Xu Susu. He smiled and said, "You sit here all day every day, looking outside. What new discoveries have you made?"
"I'm just a few of you good friends. Yuchen is pregnant and treated like a national treasure by her in-laws. Her husband follows her as a bodyguard whenever she goes out. It's difficult for me to find her, and Qingqing is with her biological mother, so I have no choice but to come here to accompany you."
Yang Xi smiled: "You are lonely. It's normal for beautiful women to be lonely. You are really too beautiful, the kind that you have no friends. Only married women like us dare to be friends with you. Otherwise, we are worried that with a friend like you, we will not be able to get married."
Xu Susu laughed, "You sound like you're really ugly."
"You're the only one alone in the group of four."
"Don't rush me into marriage, my sister wants me to stay for a few more years."
Yang Xi smiled, "I'm not rushing you. I just think that the three of us are happy, and I hope you can be happy too. In fact, I really want to know what kind of man is worthy of you."
“Beep…”
Xu Susu received a new message on her phone.
She took out her cell phone from her bag and opened it to look at it.
Yang Xi noticed that her expression was shocked for a moment. After she put down her phone, Yang Xi asked with concern: "What's wrong? I saw that you looked a little strange just now."
"It's just a small matter. The buyer of a painting I sold some time ago was not satisfied with it and wants me to repaint it."
"We exchanged money for goods, and the transaction is complete, but he wants you to redraw it? If you're not satisfied, then don't buy it. Isn't that intentional?"
Xu Susu paints in her spare time, which is something all the four of them know.
Occasionally, a few of her paintings are sold at quite high prices.
"I'll just take the original painting back and paint a new one for him. I can't give him both."
Xu Susu made up a lie.
In fact, it was her right-hand man who sent her a message to tell her that the fourth young master of the Jun family had come to her house and asked their firm to help him find the woman who had been impossible for the fourth young master to find.
The news about Jun Qin spread throughout City A.
Xu Susu naturally knew about it as well. She was also quite gossipy, so she went to find out the news without waiting for Jun Qin to come to her.
It's a pity that she has been active in the detective world for many years and is very famous in this industry, but she stumbled in this matter and not only failed to find out the woman who slept with Jun Qin.
The people she arranged to go out were put into sacks and beaten severely.
It was the other party who discovered her, so he gave her a warning to mind her own business!
Xu Susu understood that he was another hidden master.
I never thought that there would be so many hidden figures in City A.
Of course, it is also possible that they are from outside and just happened to stay in City A for a while.
Having suffered a loss, Xu Susu gave up the idea of going to gossip master Qin.
She didn't expect Jun Qin to come to her and ask her for help.
This is... the rhythm of being put in the sack again.
Xu Susu felt a little sad.
