"Mu Jingshu!"
After being discovered, Mu Jingshu was quite frank. She looked directly at the eldest daughter of the Shen family, displaying a very dignified demeanor.
This was the first time Mu Jingheng had seen Mu Jingshu in public, and he was very pleased. He was truly worthy of being a member of the Mu family.
When the woman saw Xu Xinning, she gritted her teeth and shouted, "It's you?"
Xu Xinning was completely confused. Did they know each other?
Xu Xinning searched her memory, and she was absolutely certain that she had never met this person before.
But she soon got her answer.
Shen Ruyi (the eldest daughter of the Shen family) pointed at Xu Xinning without any decorum and said, "What a fickle woman! Yesterday she was with Brother Jiang, and today she's with the second-generation rich kid of the Mu family. She's shameless."
Mu Jingheng leaned back in his chair, stared directly at Shen Ruyi, and said coldly, "Say it again if you dare?"
Mu Jingshu stood up angrily and roared, "What are you pointing at? Who's as shameless as you? Brother Jiang? Does my brother Juecheng even know you? You're like a toad trying to eat swan meat, always dreaming."
Shen Ruyi's scheme to make a move on Jiang Juecheng could not escape Mu Jingshu's notice.
It would be a miracle if she got what she wanted.
Shen Ruyi was furious. Her adrenaline surged, her mind went blank, and she began to shout out her true feelings: "Mu Jingshu, you little bastard, get your facts straight! You are the granddaughter of the Shen family. As long as you are the granddaughter of the Shen family, you can only serve the Shen family."
Mu Jingheng suddenly stood up and said in a voice that sounded like poison, "I didn't know the Shen family had become so powerful that they even have my Mu family's children serving them."
Shen Ruyi felt a chill run down her spine from the sound. She usually flaunted her power because her aunt was a member of the Mu family, and many people at work gave her face. No one ever said a word to her when she was late or left early. She never expected to show off her skills in front of Guan Yu today and cause such a crisis.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Ruyi's friends pulled her away and walked outside.
Actually, today is Shen Ruyi's birthday. In order to show off, she said she was going to treat her friends to dinner. Someone had been unhappy with Shen Ruyi for a long time, so they deliberately provoked her to come to Qijude.
But they arrived too late, and there were no seats left. However, in order to have a taste of the roast duck they had been longing for, they waited outside for someone to finish eating and give up their seats.
Unexpectedly, Mu Jingheng and his group went inside as soon as they arrived, which made Shen Ruyi feel embarrassed, hence the scene just now.
Now let's talk about Shen Yuqin.
The four of them walked for more than an hour before they reached the vicinity of the Wang and Shen families.
On the way, Shen's mother and sister-in-law had already been subtly hinting at it, and Wang Yanping had also made it clear that he wanted to marry Shen Yuqin. Shen's mother and sister-in-law couldn't stop smiling.
They thought bringing Shen Yuqin back would be a big problem, and they were even thinking about how to find her another job. But unexpectedly, a new job popped up on its own. There's nothing more gratifying than this.
Wang Yanping was afraid that Shen Yuqin would feel too disappointed, so he promised Shen's mother and sister-in-law that he would follow the normal procedures.
There was no reason for Shen's mother and sister-in-law to refuse. This dowry was like a pie falling from the sky; only a fool would refuse it.
Shen Yuqin was actually conflicted.
When she married Mu Zhenting, they obtained a marriage certificate and then she moved into the Mu family home. That very night, Mu Zhenting left without consummating the marriage. It was only much later that the people in the compound learned that she was Mu Zhenting's second wife.
This result was largely due to her own intentional or unintentional promotion to others; otherwise, it might have taken three to five years for anyone to find out.
A wedding is even more out of the question.
In fact, every woman longs for her own wedding, and Shen Yuqin is no exception.
She thought she would never have a wedding in her life, but now that Wang Yanping said he wanted to give her one, Shen Yuqin was really tempted.
It must be said that Wang Yanping understands the Shen family and Shen Yuqin.
When Wang Yanping suggested that Shen Yuqin move directly to the Wang family home, Shen's mother and sister-in-law hesitated.
After all, Shen Yuqin brought back so many things from the Mu family. If she were to move them directly to the Wang family, wouldn't those things have nothing to do with the Shen family anymore?
However, if she doesn't agree, Shen Yuqin has nowhere to live in the Shen family. If she is asked to squeeze in with the children, they might not agree, and it would be a laughing stock for them, which would not be good for their reputation.
Mother Shen and Sister-in-law Shen were caught in a dilemma.
Shen Yuqin knew exactly what her mother and sister-in-law were thinking; deep down, she didn't want to go back to the Shen family.
She has saved a lot of money over the years. Actually, she would be more comfortable living alone, but she is afraid that her family will come to ask for money frequently if they know she has money, so she can only pretend to be poor.
She also had concerns about marrying Wang Yanping. The current Wang Yanping was not the same as the Wang Yanping of the past. Could he give her the life she wanted?
While Shen's mother and sister-in-law were undecided, Wang Yanping leaned close to Shen Yuqin's ear and assured her, "Qin'er, I promise you will live a better life than you did in the Mu family. When we get home, I will give you all my savings, and then you will know whether what I said is true or not."
Shen Yuqin knew that Wang Yanping's salary was not low before. When the two were together, Wang Yanping would buy her gifts from time to time. Compared with Mu Zhenting, Wang Yanping was really a man who understood women very well, and he was always very generous.
Shen Yuqin didn't know how much money Wang Yanping had saved. If he hadn't ever contributed to household expenses, it should be quite considerable, since he didn't usually have any expenses.
Thinking about it this way, marrying Wang Yanping wouldn't be a bad thing. With my savings, our lives wouldn't be too bad.
Shen Yuqin was well aware that given her current situation, it wouldn't be easy for her to find someone with better conditions than Wang Yanping, especially since she was carrying Wang Yanping's child.
Shen Yuqin nodded, and Wang Yanping's anxious heart finally settled down.
Mother Shen and Sister-in-law Shen seemed to have come up with a solution. Just as they were about to speak, Shen Yuqin spoke first: "Mom, Sister-in-law, I won't go home. Anyway, Yanping and I are getting married soon, and it's too much trouble to move around."
Sister-in-law Shen immediately said, "You two aren't married yet. If people find out you've moved in together before you're married, what will your reputation be like? After all, everyone in that alley knows each other."
Shen Yuqin smiled and said, "If we don't tell you, who will know? Besides, I'm pregnant right now, so it's really inconvenient for me to go home."
Shen Yuqin's thunderous remark stunned Shen's mother and sister-in-law, leaving them momentarily speechless.
Wang Yanping was the only one present who was very excited. He knew that the child in Shen Yuqin's belly must be his, because Shen Yuqin had never shared a room with Mu Zhenting except for him.
Wang Yanping is the only son in his family. His family has been urging him to get married, and now that he finally has a child, Wang Yanping feels that his parents' wishes have been fulfilled.
