Of course, this is just a superficial explanation.

If that guy were really good, he wouldn't have been unmarried for so many years given his family background.

Actually, the cause of his ex-wife's death is still under investigation. According to well-informed people, she died in childbirth because she was pushed by her husband's lover while catching him cheating.

The incident was suppressed because the cotton mill manager arrived in time.

Men are naturally prone to having affairs, and the factory manager's wife is no pushover either, which is why it's difficult for men to find wives.

The Shen family is now extremely nervous, fearing that the Mu family might one day turn against them. Therefore, they are all planning alternative solutions, and marriage is undoubtedly the best and fastest way.

Xu Xinning thought that Shen Ruyi would restrain herself in front of so many people, but she didn't expect her to deliberately bump into Mu Jingshu.

Mu Jingshu plopped down on her bottom, scattering the things she was holding all over the floor. Without even raising her head, she started cursing: "If your eyes aren't working properly, go to the hospital to get them checked out. Why are you letting them out to harm others?"

Shen Ruyi stole a glance at the man and said in a affected manner, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Mu Jingshu was focused on picking up the things on the ground. At this moment, she still didn't look up at the person who bumped into her, only thinking that the person's words were strange.

"I know you didn't do it on purpose, it's just that your butt is doing it on purpose. Why have such a big butt? To cause trouble for people?"

Xu Xinning suddenly felt like laughing; she realized that Mu Jingshu's focus was always so bizarre.

Upon hearing Mu Jingshu's words, the man leered at Shen Ruyi's buttocks.

Shen Ruyi was shy and, in order to maintain her good image and let people know that she had a good background, she deliberately acted as if she had just seen Mu Jingshu.

"Cousin, it's you! I'm so sorry, I didn't see you just now. Did you hurt yourself?"

The man became interested as soon as he heard Shen Ruyi call Mu Jingshu her cousin. He knew that the Shen family had a daughter who married a high-ranking official. Now that he saw Mu Jingshu at the Friendship Store and buying so many things, the man was sure that this must be the daughter of the legendary high-ranking official's aunt.

When the man saw Xu Xinning next to Mu Jingshu, his eyes lit up even more.

Man: "Oh, it's your cousin! Why did you buy so much stuff? Do you need our help?"

Mu Jingshu only noticed Shen Ruyi at this moment.

Seeing Shen Ruyi already made Mu Jingshu very uncomfortable, let alone the man with her. Don't pretend she didn't see it; the way that man looked at her second sister-in-law was like he wanted to eat her alive. She really wanted to slap him twice, but at this moment she didn't want to deal with them and just wanted to go home as soon as possible.

Mu Jingshu said coldly, "Why don't you ever learn your lesson? When will you get rid of this habit of randomly claiming kinship?"

Shen Ruyi, with a thick skin, smiled and said, "You have quite the temper. I only said a few words to you and you still hold a grudge. Do you think you can sever blood ties just by refusing to acknowledge them? Alright, alright, your cousin won't hold it against you anymore. Go home now. Look at all the things you bought. It's not good for you to have such a bad habit of spending money recklessly at such a young age."

As she spoke, she pulled the man inside, leaving Mu Jingshu bewildered in the wind.

Did this woman take the wrong medicine today?

Mu Jingshu thought there would be another war of words, but it ended before she could even get started.

Was it really necessary to be so sudden?

Why do I feel so uncomfortable?

It has to be said that Shen Ruyi has learned her lesson today. She just wanted to increase her bargaining power. If Mu Jingshu were to speak up again, the fact that the Shen family and the Mu family had broken off their relationship would no longer be a secret.

Given her current circumstances, marrying a factory director's son is already quite good. If the Shen family really collapses, then the factory director's son won't be her turn anymore.

Xu Xinning glanced at Shen Ruyi's retreating figure and said to Mu Jingshu, "Let's go!"

When the three arrived home, Grandpa Mu had already returned. He was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, but he had been keeping an eye on the door the whole time.

He was very proud of himself today, feeling that Xu Xinning had made him look good.

The top leader now attaches great importance to Xu Xinning and intends to cultivate her well. Today, he even proposed that Xu Xinning go to university.

Grandpa Mu always felt that his family lacked a scholar. When Mu Jingheng was young, he thought that his grandson should be able to become a scholar, but unexpectedly, the situation changed and fate played a trick on him.

Now the whole family are all warriors, so the only way to change the family's genes is through the granddaughters-in-law.

Look! If Xu Xinning goes to university, won't they have their first scholar?

Having mastered the first one, the second one shouldn't be too difficult.

And his beloved granddaughter, now being cared for by her granddaughter-in-law, is said to have a great talent for medicine; she should be able to become a scholar, right?

Thinking of this, Old Master Mu smiled even more gently.

Aunt Tong watched from afar and felt that the old leader was acting very strangely today.

The next day, Grandpa Mu took Xu Xinning to see the big boss again.

Today, for the first time ever, Grandpa Mu didn't wear his military uniform. Instead, he wore the Zhongshan suit that Xu Xinning had bought for him, and he kept adjusting his clothes as he was leaving.

Xu Xinning still performed acupuncture on the senior leader, but this time it took much longer and the technique was much more complicated.

Old Man Ouyang watched from the side the whole time. He understood some things, but he couldn't understand others.

Xu Xinning didn't keep anything to herself and told Old Man Ouyang why she did it.

The old man was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Hearing your words is better than reading books for ten years!"

Xu Xinning thought to herself, "Ten years isn't enough. It would take at least a thousand years."

Due to the turbulent times, good medical books have long been destroyed. It can be said that Xu Xinning is the most comprehensive living encyclopedia of traditional Chinese medicine that has survived to this day. If she doesn't do something soon, then all the good things accumulated over thousands of years will disappear along with Xu Xinning.

After Xu Xinning finished her acupuncture, Grandpa Mu stood up and swayed back and forth in front of everyone.

Old Man Ouyang was annoyed by Old Master Mu's shaking and said angrily, "Old Man Mu, why are you shaking me like that? Isn't it annoying?"

Grandpa Mu didn't reply. He straightened his clothes and dusted off non-existent dust.

The big boss couldn't help but laugh. He knew his old friend all too well. "Old Mu, that's a nice outfit!"

Only then did Old Man Ouyang notice that Old Master Mu was not wearing his military uniform today.

Thinking that Grandpa Mu usually loved his military uniform the most, why wasn't he wearing it today?

Something unusual must be going on!

Old Man Ouyang was on guard.

Xu Xinning lowered her head and smiled secretly. The longer she spent with Grandpa Mu, the more adorable he seemed.

After hearing what the big boss said, Grandpa Mu proudly tugged at his coat and glanced at Old Man Ouyang, saying, "My granddaughter-in-law bought it for me at the Friendship Store. That child is so filial; she spent quite a bit of money!"

The senior leader was very accommodating, saying, "You have good taste; the outfit makes you look much younger."

Grandpa Mu was overjoyed by what he was said, and his laughter was so loud it seemed to pierce the clouds and reach other planets.
