"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie."
It was rare for Bai Yingying to be so arrogant in the Su family. She smiled and looked at the Second Madam with a provocative gaze.
The second wife saw this and was so angry that she clenched her teeth tightly. But for the sake of the bigger picture, she swallowed her anger and gritted her teeth.
"Hehe, we'll be family soon, so don't be so formal. For so many years, I, as your aunt, have been hoping that Su Mu could get married and have a wife. Now my wish has finally come true. Don't worry, once you and Su Mu get your marriage certificate, I will definitely treat you like my own daughter. In the future, just tell your aunt what you want to say, don't be shy."
The second wife was a pragmatic woman. Since her son was disappointing, she, as his mother, had to be more cunning.
Even if they don't get an important position in the company or the right to inherit, they still need to make more money for themselves and their son. As the saying goes, money is a good thing.
When it comes to thick skin, the Second Madam is second to none. She was the one who bullied Bai Yingying the most before, and now she's the one fawning over her. Luckily, the other party is Bai Yingying. Facing the Second Madam's flattery, she was filled with pride and enjoyment: "Thank you for your kind words, Second Madam."
"Alright, alright, stop standing here and go inside to eat."
Grandpa Su was very pleased to see the peaceful scene before him.
He's been in power his whole life, and none of his decisions have been wrong, and this time is no exception.
Taking in his grandfather's confidence and arrogance, Su Mu's deep eyes suddenly changed, but quickly returned to normal.
It's okay, time will tell, and it will also tell him what is right and what is wrong in this world.
During the meal, Bai Yingying was treated like the darling of the whole family. Everyone surrounded her, flattering her and serving her food. They even discussed some details about Su Mu and Bai Yingying's wedding at the table.
“Although you both want to keep it low-key, I think the wedding must be exquisite, at least worthy of Yingying. Yingying is marrying into our Su family to enjoy happiness, not to suffer.”
The second wife made the suggestion.
Immediately, someone else seconded the motion.
"Yes, yes, Second Madam is right. I know a really good and high-end wedding planner. I'll contact them now and have them make a few plans so Yingying can choose the best one."
"I know a wedding dress designer. Her wedding dresses and gowns are all very beautiful, and the fabrics she uses are also very good. They suit Yingying's temperament perfectly. Yingying, if you need them, just tell your cousin and I'll contact her right away and ask her to make time for you."
"Yingying, don't think that your aunt is old now. If there's anything I can help you with, just ask. I promise I will do my best to help you and make sure you and Su Mu have the most perfect wedding."
Looking at the fawning smiles on these people's faces, Bai Yingying felt like she was floating on clouds, which was exactly what she had always wanted.
"Thank you all for your love for Yingying. Actually, I don't have any requirements for the wedding. As long as the groom is Su Mu, I don't care about anything else. Brother Su Mu, you've lost weight these past few days. Come and eat some of this. It's very nutritious and good for your health."
In front of everyone, Bai Yingying used her chopsticks to serve food to Su Mu. At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Su Mu, waiting to see his reaction.
"Thanks."
Su Mu's voice was cold and indifferent, as if he were doing a task. He put the food that Bai Yingying picked up into his mouth without any emotion, as if chewing wax.
Bai Yingying was overjoyed.
At that moment, she was certain that her position in the Su family was secure.
In the past, Su Mu would have been extremely disgusted and would have thrown away all the tableware in front of him.
They even kicked her out.
After the dinner, Su Mu, on the orders of his grandfather, personally drove Bai Yingying home.
An hour later, Su Mu's car came to a steady stop in front of the Bai family's house. The Bai family's house had long lost its former liveliness. Although it was still prosperous, it looked like a ghost house, appearing lifeless.
It gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.
Bai Yingying didn't want Su Mugang to change his opinion of her just because the family atmosphere had returned to its old state, so she couldn't help but urge him to go back: "Brother Su Mugang, you've really had a hard day. I'm home now, so you should go back and rest too. Remember to send me a message to let me know you're safe when you get home, or I'll worry."
"I'm not tired. Won't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"
Su Mu spoke, and what he said was unexpected.
"this……"
Bai Yingying wanted to refuse, but in the end she nodded and agreed: "From now on, this is also Brother Su Mu's home. It's just a cup of tea, of course you can come in."
Su Mu deliberately slowed his pace, carefully memorizing every blade of grass and tree in the entire villa. To his surprise, this large villa was only inhabited by Bai Yingying and her father, without a single servant. Not to mention that he was already half-buried in the ground, could the pampered Bai Yingying possibly get used to living without servants?
The answer to this question remains unanswered.
From the moment Su Mu stepped into the villa, Bai Yingying's eyes never left him. Sensing Su Mu's confusion, Bai Yingying explained directly, "It's like this, ever since my mother passed away, my father has been immersed in grief, and his temper has become somewhat irritable. He often throws things and even shows no respect for the servants. So, after careful consideration, I finally decided to dismiss all the servants. Apart from having some cleaners come regularly to clean, I've also learned to cook all three meals a day myself."
"Brother Su Mu, don't worry. Now that I've decided to marry you, I'll change all my spoiled ways. I'll try my best to be a good wife and support you, so as not to cause you any trouble."
This Bai Yingying really seems desperate to get married, seizing every opportunity to express her love for Su Mu.
What was special this time was that Su Mu responded to her in a rare way.
"Those spoiled young ladies really should change their habits; it will be good for your future life."
Su Mu spoke in a cold, calm tone, making it impossible to discern the true meaning behind his words. Bai Yingying, in her narcissism, interpreted it as she imagined it to mean, and was overjoyed.
She thought Su Mu was genuinely committed to living with her.
After she understood the implied meaning of Su Mu's words, she was filled with remorse.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Fortunately, Bai's father was not home at the moment, which made Bai Yingying breathe a sigh of relief and relax a lot. Su Mu was a man of his word; he said he wanted a cup of tea, and he stayed for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
