After leaving the house, on the road leading to the compound gate, the two encountered Chu Junbai and An Muxue. They were standing next to the car and looked like a good couple from a distance.
An Muxue was wearing a white down jacket and a bright red scarf, which made her look stunning. She held Chu Junbai's sleeve with a pleading look in her eyes, "You're not that kind of person. Nothing must have happened between you. Find a few more witnesses and this matter can be clarified."
"You can have your grandfather put pressure on the military, or have him step in to help you. No one will dare to say anything."
In contrast, Chu Junbai pulled back his sleeve, his face as cold and piercing as the weather.
"elder brother!"
Chu Zhihui glanced at Mu Xiaowan, seemingly afraid of causing trouble, and called out to Chu Junbai from a distance.
Upon hearing the sound, the two people in front turned around together.
Wait for approach.
Out of politeness, Mu Xiaowan asked, "Xiaohui and I are going out to buy clothes. Is there anything I can help you bring back?"
"No."
Chu Junbai remained indifferent.
"Then we'll leave first."
Mu Xiaowan was the first to leave, but Chu Junbai called her back.
"Wait, I'll take you there."
An Muxue was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and her eyes instantly turned red with anger.
"Chu Junbai!"
At this moment, she didn't care about maintaining her image anymore; all she wanted to do was vent her dissatisfaction.
Seeing her frantic state, Chu Zhihui instantly felt that it would be better for her brother to marry Mu Xiaowan than An Muxue, at least Mu Xiaowan wasn't so scary.
She grabbed Mu Xiaowan's sleeve and quickly got into the car.
Chu Junbai didn't linger and quickly got into the driver's seat, bypassing An Muxue.
An Muxue remained where she was, watching the car speed away, leaving a fingernail mark on her palm.
Arrived at the mall.
Mu Xiaowan got out of the car first, and Chu Junbai pulled Chu Zhihui aside and said, "Follow her, don't lose her."
Chu Zhihui snorted, "You said you didn't like him, why are you so worried?"
Chu Junbai offered no explanation and drove away.
Big cities are great. Even though they're from a backward era, they have everything in their department stores, including a lot of imported goods, and they're very fashionable.
Mu Xiaowan was afraid of the cold, so she went to choose a down jacket first. Down jackets were a luxury item at the time, and wearing one on the street would definitely turn heads.
"You're so petite, why did you choose such a long down jacket? It's so tacky." Chu Zhihui looked at Mu Xiaowan holding up a long down jacket that reached her calves and pouted in disgust.
She pointed to a mid-length down jacket with a fitted waist, "You'll definitely look good in that. Pair it with skinny jeans and boots, and you'll shed your dowdy look."
"I think this one is fine. In winter, what I need is to keep warm, and I'm afraid of the cold."
Down jackets aren't good to wash too many times, so Mu Xiaowan asked the sales clerk to bring her a pale yellow one. Her skin had become a bit rough and yellowish from living in the countryside for so long. Pale yellow is different from bright yellow; it would brighten her complexion and was also more resistant to dirt than white.
Chu Zhihui was also afraid of the cold, so she didn't refute her.
"It's fine if you don't choose this one. It's your wedding dress, so why not choose red?"
Although the red is eye-catching, it is more resistant to dirt than the pale yellow.
"That's fine."
Just as the sales clerk was about to hand the red down jacket to Mu Xiaowan, it was snatched away by another sales clerk.
When Chu Zhihui saw the sales clerk hand the clothes directly to another stylishly dressed girl to try on, she objected.
"Hey, what are you doing! We wanted these clothes first, don't you understand first-come, first-served?"
"Bring it here quickly."
Seeing that none of them were easy to deal with, the sales clerk serving Mu Xiaowan chose to back down.
The salesperson who snatched the down jacket said, "Wait a minute, someone else might want it."
"Hey, how do you know we won't buy?"
Mu Xiaowan wanted Chu Zhihui to let it go, but at that moment the woman trying on clothes glanced at Mu Xiaowan and said in a disdainful tone, "You're from the countryside, aren't you? With your rustic appearance, you obviously can't afford this. Don't get these clothes dirty. Who knows if you've ever taken a bath in your life?"
Mu Xiaowan: "..."
Even a saint probably couldn't tolerate this.
Although she dressed casually today, wearing a cotton-padded jacket hand-sewn by Chu Zhihui, she didn't wear a coat because she found it difficult to put on, but the cotton-padded jacket was still brand new, with a red background and small black checks, and it looked quite nice.
Could it be because she casually braided a pigtail that hung down in front of her chest?
Surely not from head to toe, right? Isn't the main thing for people these days to be simple and unpretentious?
In short, whether her clothes are unfashionable or not is not important; what is important is that she doesn't want to listen to people's complaints.
Mu Xiaowan pulled Chu Zhihui, who was acting like a fighting cock, and said coldly, "You look down on the working people. How is your attitude any different from that of a landlord?"
Mu Xiaowan was about to curse and let it go when suddenly she saw He Yongsheng appear behind her with a bag, calling out to her affectionately, "Qingran!"
What a coincidence, I never expected to run into this couple here.
Mu Xiaowan showed no mercy and angrily retorted, "Ha, you look down on country folk? If farmers didn't farm, what would you eat and drink? You're just cursing your mother while holding your bowl up. What kind of person are you?"
Seeing the crowd pointing and whispering about her, Ge Qingran felt her face burning; she had never been so humiliated before.
Immediately enraged, he pointed at Mu Xiaowan, about to yell, "You..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? Take off that shirt. Whether I can afford it or not, there's a first-come, first-served rule."
At this moment, He Yongsheng also saw Mu Xiaowan.
Immediately, his face turned ashen, unsure whether to help Ge Qingran or slip away quickly, fearing that Mu Xiaowan would speak ill of him to Ge Qingran.
“Yongsheng, look at this woman cursing me. You are a soldier, and I am your wife. You work so hard to protect the country, and she dares to insult me like this.”
He Yongsheng was held back by Ge Qingran and could no longer escape. He braced himself and tried to say something on Ge Qingran's behalf, but Mu Xiaowan did not give him a chance to speak at all.
"He Yongsheng, I never thought this was the wife you so desperately wanted to find. She's not very good!"
Sweat poured uncontrollably from He Yongsheng's forehead.
Damn Mu Xiaowan, she really has no taboos!
"Why don't you take your wife back and tie her up? Oh, I mean keep an eye on her."
"As a military family member, you have no awareness at all. Instead, you are disrupting public order. I know where your unit is. I'm just sitting here anyway, so I might go and have a chat with your superiors."
There's so much to talk about, and if we bring up their marriage, then his career will be over.
Mu Xiaowan, who used to be completely under his control, has become increasingly incomprehensible to He Yongsheng. He quickly pulled Ge Qingran aside, saying, "Let's go somewhere else. The clothes here don't suit you. Look at all the people coming here."
Ge Qingran grasped the key point: "He Yongsheng, do you know this woman?"
"He Yongsheng, don't pull me. Tell me, how does that woman know you?"
Ge Qingran suddenly realized something, and her eyes widened.
