Chapter 26 How do you know so much about me?
Xiao Nuan quickly ate the rice in the bowl without picking up any vegetables or speaking, for fear of saying something wrong. She just wanted to help Mu Yuting finish the scene and get away.
Seeing that Maodan only picked up food for himself and didn't pick up food for his wife, the old lady glanced at him and gave him a look.
Mu Yuting also understood what his grandmother meant, and obeyed obediently, picking up a piece of pork ribs and putting it into the small warm bowl.
"Thank you." Although she knew she was acting, Xiao Nuan still blushed.
Grandma saw it and was happy.
Fortunately, during this meal, the old lady just asked her to eat more and didn't ask any questions. She only asked her name and then kept praising her nice name.
Pass easily.
…
After dinner, the old lady pulled her into the living room, took out an old-fashioned jewelry box from her bag, opened it, and inside was a hollow butterfly gold hairpin with a green gem as the pendant.
The hairpin doesn't look new, but it's exquisitely crafted, and it's obvious that it's not a simple handicraft.
Without saying a word, the old lady inserted the hairpin into Xiao Nuan's bun, looked at it carefully, and found it perfect.
"This is our first meeting, and grandma doesn't have anything to give you. This hairpin was given to me as a dowry by my parents when I got married. There were two of them, and I've been saving this one for my granddaughter-in-law. Today, I'm finally giving it to you."
This hairpin is obviously extraordinary. Xiao Nuan was just helping with the acting, so she didn't dare to accept it.
She frowned and looked at Mu Yuting for help, signaling him to confess quickly and get leniency, as she really couldn't go on pretending anymore.
Mu Yuting, however, acted as if nothing had happened and calmly massaged his grandmother's shoulders.
"Girl, why are you looking at him? This is given to you by grandma. It has nothing to do with him. Keep it."
The old lady thought Xiao Nuan was afraid of her grandson and didn't dare to accept him.
"Grandma, I really can't have this."
The old lady was anxious. "Xiao Nuan, this item is a bit old. It's said to be from the Qing Dynasty, but it's a gift from grandma. You can't despise it."
The Qing Dynasty...
That was even more unacceptable. Xiao Nuan quickly took off the hairpin and handed it to the old lady. The old lady pushed it to Xiao Nuan, and the two of them passed it back and forth.
Mu Yuting took it and took a closer look. "It's really a good item. Don't give it to me."
When the old lady saw that Xiao Nuan was determined not to accept it, she said, "That's fine. If she's embarrassed to accept it, you can keep it for her and put it on her personally on the wedding day."
Xiao Nuan fulfilled her duties as an actor, lowered her head and dared not speak. Mu Yuting looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
The old lady saw it and was delighted, and decided to strike while the iron was hot.
"Maodan, didn't you say you'd get married within three days? I think we should get the certificate today. I checked before I got here, and today is an auspicious day."
Get a certificate?
Xiao Nuan was stunned and confused.
She just agreed to do a favor for the nouveau riche and play the role of his fiancée, but she didn't expect it to become such a big deal. Getting a marriage certificate is no joke.
I thought Mu Yuting would explain it clearly to grandma, but who knew that Mu Yuting would say, "I know, grandma."
Xiao Nuan thought to herself: Since he agreed, maybe his fiancée will be here soon. Anyway, I'm just performing temporarily, it's none of my business.
…
After the old lady left.
Xiao Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Mu Yuting, "I've helped you with what I should have helped you with. You can handle the rest by yourself. I have to go back to school. Goodbye."
Mu Yuting acted as if he hadn't heard anything and said domineeringly, "Come to the study with me."
The tone was not one of negotiation, but of command, which did not give you any chance to refuse. He turned and went upstairs before he finished speaking.
If Xiao Nuan hadn't considered him her savior, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.
She angrily chased to the study on the second floor and glared at the cold and arrogant Mu Yuting. If eating people was not against the law, she would be the first to eat this upstart.
"Tell me, what's the matter with you?"
This woman looked cute when she was angry.
A hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed across Mu Yuting's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
He looked at Xiao Nuan's face with deep eyes, opened his thin lips slightly, and uttered four words lightly: "Marry me and continue to play my wife."
Lin Xiaonuan was so surprised that she began to doubt her life. She thought there was something wrong with her ears and stared at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Get married? Keep acting? Are you addicted to acting?
It would have been fine if I just helped you play the role of your fiancée, but you are now asking for more.
Mu Yuting didn't care about her reaction. He picked up a stack of documents from the desk with his slender fingers and handed it to her, saying slowly:
"You came to Jiangcheng to attend university at the age of seventeen. Hoping to have someone to rely on, you went to your uncle, Lin Qingshan, but in their eyes, you were worse than a maid. You borrowed 800,000 yuan from them to pay for your mother's surgery. Zhang Liyun took advantage of the situation and made you sign an agreement that effectively sold your body.
You endured it silently to pay for your mother's medical expenses, but your cousin Lin Xuanxuan treated you like a thorn in her side, bullying you openly and stealing your boyfriend secretly. Your boyfriend, or more accurately, your ex-boyfriend Lu Yuan, was no good either. To please that young lady, the two of them conspired to drug you.
To make matters worse, in order to get a loan of 500 million yuan, Zhang Liyun used the agreement to threaten you and asked you to marry Mayor Ma's cerebral palsy son, which actually meant marrying that old pervert.
Then you desperately escaped, fainted on the side of the road, and I found you..."
This amount of information is exactly the same, exactly the same.
Xiao Nuan's dark eyes were filled with shock. "How do you know so much about me?"
"Your appearance at the hotel that night was so strange. I must investigate thoroughly to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future."
Mu Yuting didn't tell the whole story, and left out an important factor: he was attracted to you at first sight, so he checked you out.
But this guy just insisted on being stubborn and avoiding the important issues.
Xiao Nuan shook herself. "Go ahead and investigate. I haven't done anything illegal. Nothing's wrong with a clean conscience. Besides, what does this have to do with marriage?"
This little woman is quite tough.
