Chapter 21 Mother-in-law Sends a Car
In the Xu family's living room, Sun Hong looked at Wang Manli unhappily, "You're pregnant with our Xu family's grandson, and you're still running out at night. How unsafe! What if you hurt my grandson?"
I smelled the hot pot on her and covered my nose with my hands.
"How can you eat hot pot now that you're pregnant? If you really want to eat it, ask the aunt at home to make it. The food outside is unhygienic. What if my grandson gets sick from it?"
Now Wang Manli lives in the Xu family, and Sun Hong is worried that Wang Manli won't be able to take good care of her grandson and that he won't get enough nutrition. After Wang Manli moved in, Sun Hong asked her aunt to cook some tonic food for her every day.
Wang Manli eats those supplements every day, but they are so unpalatable. She is craving for food outside. Today, she went out for a hot pot.
At this moment, Wang Manli was complaining in her heart. Damn old woman, after she married Brother Xu Sun, she would be so angry with her that she would scold her every day and make her so angry. When she got old, she would be thrown into a nursing home and let her fend for herself.
Her heart was filled with dissatisfaction and resentment, but she replied obediently, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I passed by a hot pot restaurant today and smelled the odor so much I couldn't resist. For the sake of the baby, I won't eat it again. I'll eat whatever you say."
Seeing that she admitted her mistake in a good manner, Sun Hong calmed down a lot.
"Go take a shower and go to bed. Going to bed early is good for the child."
Wang Manli sat down next to Sun Hong and whispered, "Mom, I saw Wenxi at the hot pot restaurant today."
Xu Sun wanted to go downstairs to get a glass of water, but stopped when he heard Wenxi's name.
"Don't mention that woman in front of me anymore. I get really angry when you mention her."
"Mom, I think you'll be happy to hear this news."
Sun Hong turned around and asked, "Tell me, what happened to her?"
"I heard her say that her marriage to her current husband was a deal, and that he would divorce her in a year."
"I told you, who would want a woman like her? Sure enough, there's an inside story. Thinking that she'll be a discarded woman in a year, I'll wake up laughing in my dreams tonight. That bitch deserved it!"
Sun Hong was surprised. "I knew that woman had ulterior motives. When she was with Xu Sun, I thought she was after our family's money. Now she's trying to trade marriage for a man. I guess she's after his money again. How could she do that?"
"By the way, don't tell Xu Sun about this for now. If he finds out, he might develop some extravagant hopes for that woman again. I don't want my son to have anything to do with her again. As long as I'm here, she won't be able to enter the Xu family."
Xu Sun retreated silently, his eyes lighting up again. Wenxi and that man were fake, they weren't a real couple, that was great.
He'd already despaired after learning Wenxi was marrying Mu Yansen. Who was Mu Yansen? The president of the Mu Group, worth hundreds of billions, with influence stretching across the country. A single stomp of his foot could shake up Beijing's economy. He wasn't someone he could afford to offend, so it was impossible for him to harbor any ill intentions towards Wenxi.
But now it’s different. His relationship with Wenxi is fake, so he can still pursue Wenxi. After they divorce in a year, he can marry Wenxi.
The next morning, Xu Sun, unlike his usual sluggish demeanor, went to work in high spirits. Sun Hong was delighted but also puzzled as to how his son had suddenly come to his senses.
"Xiao Sun, are you...really okay?"
Xu Sun pretended not to know their conversation and smiled, "Well, Mom, I'm fine. I'm going to the company."
"Oh, okay."
Sun Hong thought, all men are the same: they say they love someone madly, but forget about them after a few days. Didn't Xu Sun's father also say he loved her when he was young, but later on, he had women outside one after another, each younger than the last.
Wenxi had just gotten up when her mother-in-law Song Lixin came over, handed her a pair of car keys, and pulled her out.
There was a red Maserati parked at the door, very beautiful and cool.
"Xiaoxi, this car is a gift from your father-in-law and me. Yanlin said you squeeze on the bus every day to go to and from work. How can that be okay?"
After saying that, he glared at Mu Yansen who had followed him out, "All the men in our Mu family love their wives. Why haven't you learned a thing? You let your wife squeeze on the bus every day. If Yanlin hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known."
Wenxi was very frightened and explained, "Auntie, I wanted to take the bus on my own. I'm used to it and it's comfortable. It has nothing to do with Yansen."
This was the first time she called his name, it felt weird.
Mu Yansen looked at her deeply with his dark eyes.
"Who likes taking the bus? You don't have to speak for him. You'll be driving this bus to and from get off work from now on. By the way, can you drive? Do you want me to assign you a driver?"
"I have a driver's license and have driven a few times." In the past, when Xu Sun was drunk, he would ask her to drive his car to take him home.
"That's good. Oh, and here's a gas card. Take it. You can use this card to fill up your gas tank next time."
Wenxi didn't dare to take it and put the car keys back in Song Lixin's hands, "Auntie, this car is too valuable, I can't accept it."
If her relationship with Mu Yansen was real, she would have accepted it. But since their relationship was fake, how could she accept such an expensive thing? She would feel uneasy if she accepted it.
Song Lixin still hadn't given away any gifts, so she handed the car keys to Kasey Wenxi and said, "Take it! This car is yours from now on. If I find out that you squeeze on the bus again, you and Yansen will move back to the old house. I'll have the driver pick you up and drop you off at get off work every day."
Wenxi was about to say something when Mu Yansen took the car keys and card and said, "Let's go have breakfast. After breakfast, you can take me to the company. I don't want to drive today."
Wenxi had no choice but to go inside with Song Lixin. After the three of them finished breakfast, Song Lixin returned to the old house. Wenxi and Mu Yansen got into the Maserati.
Mu Yansen automatically sat in the passenger seat, obviously letting her drive.
Wenxi fumbled for a long time before she figured out the button, and the car started and slowly drove out. She was a little nervous, her eyes carefully watching the car's progress.
Mu Yansen saw that she was holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, her face was tense and her lips were pursed. She looked cute and funny.
Cute? He actually found her cute, which was unbelievable to him.
"Relax, just drive. Why are you so nervous?"
Wenxi didn't dare to be distracted and kept looking ahead and to the sides.
"This car looks very expensive. What if it crashes?"
Mu Yansen scoffed. "It's just a car. We have plenty of luxury cars in our garage. This one isn't expensive. If it breaks, we can just buy another one."
"You broke it, don't you want me to pay for it?"
A smile appeared in Mu Yansen's eyes, and he couldn't help teasing her.
"Of course I have to compensate you. What if you drive so badly that you crash into my car every day? I'll be at a loss."
Wenxi curled her lips. "So, I have to be more careful. If I damage something, I'll have to pay for it. I already said I don't want it anymore. Taking the bus is so much better. It's energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and I don't have to worry about paying for a car accident. Can I return the car?"
