"I know," Mu Anxiao smiled, "you don't want to offend your sister-in-law, right."
Just as Mu Anxiao said, although Mu Xiang was disappointed with her sister-in-law, her sister-in-law had been good to her. She didn't want to fall out with her sister-in-law over something like this.
It was precisely for this reason that she chose to leave the reception room with Wan Sha.
"Yes," she nodded.
Mu Anxiao: "As long as you cooperate with me, I'll handle everything perfectly for you."
"Can you really do it?" Mu Xiang repeated the question.
"Of course, who am I? I'm a wealthy businessman," Mu Anxiao said, taking a sip of water.
Wan Sha looked at Mu Anxiao's confident demeanor and thought about Mu Anxiao's uninhibited boasting. She glared at Mu Anxiao, "You're not going to marry her, are you?" she pointed at Mu Xiang.
Mu Xiang was taken aback.
Mu Anxiao knew Wan Sha would think that, so she said, "It's not me."
"Are you really going to do this?"
A Long: "Mu Anxiao, if you do this, your sister-in-law will definitely ask you for a bride price. Then," she frowned, "what will you do?"
Mu Anxiao had also witnessed the snobbery of Mu Xiang's sister-in-law.
Of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough to come up with such a method. In other words, she wouldn't do anything deceptive.
"I didn't say that," she said, looking at Mu Xiang, "you, treat Mu Xi well."
"Why?"
"This way, your chances of getting married will be even lower."
"Mu Anxiao, do you know something?" Wan Sha heard the implication in Mu Anxiao's words.
Mu Anxiao's lips curled, and she shifted her gaze to A Long's face.
A Long: "I had nothing to do, so I went to listen to your conversation." She said righteously.
Wan Sha frowned: "I didn't even sense you."
"...." A Long shrugged.
Wan Sha frowned and looked at Mu Anxiao: "You've been faking it all along."
Mu Anxiao: "There's no need, but," she looked at Mu Xiang, "Mu Xi treats you quite well. Since he's letting you avoid marriage, this incident shows a bit of it." She raised a finger.
"What?" Mu Xiang initially thought Mu Anxiao knew nothing. Now, hearing Mu Anxiao say this, she couldn't help but trust Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao: "Mu Xi treats you not badly, but the prerequisite is that you must be sincere with him."
"Sincere?"
"Yes, your task is to treat Mu Xi sincerely, and then when the time is right, expose him."
"Expose him?" Mu Xiang was startled, "Then I'll be looking for death."
"With me here, and with her," Mu Anxiao pointed at Wan Sha, "what are you afraid of."
"But... he helped me, if I expose him..."
"He can't help you," Mu Anxiao interrupted.
"Huh?" Mu Xiang couldn't keep up with Mu Anxiao's thoughts at all.
Mu Anxiao said, while stroking the rim of the cup, "I now understand Mu Xi's intention. He just wants to live an ordinary person's life. This shows that he will definitely respect your sister-in-law's decision very much, and he will only use sweet talk to persuade you to obey your sister-in-law."
"If I don't listen to him, will he get angry?" Mu Xiang reacted.
Mu Anxiao: "Of course he will."
"Angry," Mu Xiang sensed a crisis again, "Then I'm finished."
"Yes, so, just be good to your brother. As for the marriage, absolutely do not mention it in front of him."
"...." Mu Xiang gave a wry smile, "Sister-in-law is always with him. If I don't mention it, sister-in-law will. This might be difficult."
Mu Anxiao lowered her eyes and smiled, sensing the sound outside the door. She said, "That depends on you. I'll go to the reception room first, and then you, bring the tea. Remember, it must be Longjing." Mu Anxiao said, turning her head towards the door. After counting down five seconds, the door was knocked, and then Mu Xiang's sister-in-law's voice came in, "Rich man, are you washed?"
Longjing was Mu Xi's favorite tea. Anyone who made him Longjing would be considered the most important person to him. Mu Anxiao thought that if Mu Xiang brought him this tea, Mu Xi might trust Mu Xiang even more.
Thinking of this, she replied, "Yes."
Mu Xiang's sister-in-law: "That's good. We have guests here, it's very lively. Do you want to come to the reception room to sit down?"
"Okay," Mu Anxiao agreed readily and gave Mu Xiang and Wan Sha a signal.
Immediately, Mu Xiang and Wan Sha hid behind the screen.
In the blink of an eye.
Mu Anxiao followed Mu Xiang's sister-in-law to the reception room. Obviously, the fake Mu Long's expression changed the moment he saw Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao also happened to catch this scene.
"You are the young master, right?" She walked up to the fake Mu Long.
Fake Mu Long: "Yes, you..." He stared at Mu Anxiao unpleasantly, "Aren't you a beggar."
"Beggar?" Mu Anxiao chuckled, "Young master, you shouldn't speak like that. I am a rich businessman."
"Rich businessman?" Fake Mu Long sneered, "You are clearly a beggar."
"I..." Mu Anxiao didn't want to argue with the fake Mu Long and then looked at her sister-in-law, who was frowning, saying, "Your husband really doesn't know how to speak."
Sister-in-law smiled: "You flatter me."
"It's nothing," Mu Anxiao waved her hand, turned to a chair, and sat down of her own accord. "I've also seen many grand occasions and met many people. They all like to call me a beggar. It can't be helped, I'm just too low-key."
"Indeed." Sister-in-law smiled.
Fake Mu Long said coldly: "Madam, how could you bring this kind of person in? Chase her out."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao frowned. Just as she was about to retort to the fake Mu Long, several servants came in carrying several red chests. Following them, a handsome man in red, looking quite dashing, walked around the chests and stood in front of the fake Mu Long, smiling, "Brother, sister-in-law, I heard it was lively out here. What's wrong?"
Sister-in-law? Brother?
Mu Anxiao looked at the man in red in confusion and frowned.
Fake Mu Long did the same.
On the contrary, only the sister-in-law remained calm. "You're here. I was wondering what you were doing earlier, so you went to get these things." She glanced at the red chests placed on the ground by the servants.
Mu Anxiao was still bewildered.
The fake Mu Long saw this and remembered what his wife had said about giving him a surprise. His mind raced, and he immediately stood up, smiling at the man in red, "Are you the one marrying my sister?"
The man in red smiled, "Brother, nice to meet you for the first time." He smiled subtly.
Mu Anxiao thought the person marrying Mu Xiang would come late. Unexpectedly, he arrived as soon as she stepped in.
It seemed her plan to have Mu Xiang deliver tea and speak nicely might be in vain.
Fake Mu Long ignored Mu Anxiao and smiled, "I just heard madam say there was a surprise. I didn't expect the surprise to be you."
Sister-in-law smiled, "I told you not to worry about Mu Xiang, but you didn't listen. Do you believe me now?" She said, exhaling a sigh of relief, thinking, thankfully he's not an idiot.
