Chapter 14 The Uninvited Guest at the Wedding
Getting married is such a pain; Mu Xiaowan was dragged out of bed by Zhang Ma at four o'clock.
She lives in this house; it's not like we're coming all the way back to marry her, so there's no need to do it so early.
Today, as the bride, she doesn't have to do anything. She just needs to toast the guests during the meal, and her hair and makeup won't take long.
The makeup artist was also a hairdresser, and her skills were terrible; the hairstyle she created was unbearable to look at.
Mu Xiaowan really wanted to tear it off and fix it herself, but then she thought that since the wedding was fake, there was no need to make a fuss.
However, she can do her own makeup.
It wasn't that she cared about anyone; it was simply because she didn't like her current makeup, which made her face look as red as a monkey's bottom.
Mu Xiaowan applied a light and natural makeup, then picked up the red paper on the table and rubbed it.
Needless to say, the makeup artist did not provide lipstick.
She doesn't deserve it.
Lips touched with red paper taste bitter on the tongue. I really don't know what those authors who wrote about touching red paper and still described their lips as fragrant were thinking.
Chu Zhihui was disturbed and couldn't sleep well. She tossed and turned, and finally glared at everyone.
She muttered to herself, "I should have let you sleep with my second brother last night, then you wouldn't have disturbed me."
He does not mean that.
Mu Xiaowan's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly lost all sleepiness.
How could she have overlooked this?
Starting tonight, he will be sharing a bed with Chu Junbai.
She, being a modern person, didn't care, but she was afraid that Chu Junbai would kick her out of bed.
What if we can't win the argument or the fight?
After tidying up, Mu Xiaowan sat quietly in the room waiting for someone to call her out.
She waited for four hours, until she felt like she was about to turn to stone, when finally someone came to call her.
It's Chu Junbai!
"When we're toasting later, you can choose not to drink." Chu Junbai didn't want Mu Xiaowan to get drunk and say something she shouldn't in front of so many people.
Mu Xiaowan's stomach was growling with hunger.
She hadn't even eaten breakfast all morning.
Chu Junbai's dark eyes swept over her face as he said, "The toasting will be quick; we can eat as soon as we're done."
As expected, a marriage without love is just a mess, and Chu Junbai didn't care whether she lived or died.
As she went downstairs, she ran into Chu Shaoqing, who was utterly amazed when he saw Mu Xiaowan.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to look so beautiful with makeup on."
Chu Shaoqing was holding a bowl with several cakes in it, which made Mu Xiaowan swallow hard.
Seeing that her eyes were fixed on the bowl, Chu Shaoqing quickly said, as if presenting a treasure, "Sister-in-law, I noticed you haven't eaten anything all morning. This is something I specially brought from the kitchen in the yard for you. It's not too hot, the temperature is just right. Hurry up and eat two."
Mu Xiaowan felt a lump in her throat from those words.
Surprisingly, only this immature kid cared about him.
Just as her hand was about to touch the cake, she heard Chu Junbai say, "If you eat now and then go upstairs to touch up your makeup, it will waste a lot of time going back and forth. We can't keep a group of elders waiting."
Gan!
Your mother, I'll remember this grudge.
Mu Xiaowan didn't get to eat a single bite in the end.
She followed Chu Junbai to toast each table, and when she reached the An family's table, Mu Xiaowan saw An Muxue.
Her eyes were a little swollen, so she must have cried a lot.
It's a pity that her brother Junbai was someone who didn't understand love.
An Muxue gritted her teeth as she looked at Mu Xiaowan, who was dressed in festive attire. She hadn't planned to come, but she was unwilling to give up.
Mu Xiaowan, who was following Chu Junbai, suddenly stumbled and lost her balance, crawling forward.
Damn it, An Muxue actually resorted to dirty tricks to trip her up.
Mu Xiaowan quickly grabbed Chu Junbai, who was closest to her.
Just then, Chu Junbai hooked his arm and pulled Mu Xiaowan into his embrace.
The tray he was holding in his other hand remained steady, not a drop of wine spilled.
Mu Xiaowan's nose was pressed against Chu Junbai's chest, and the smell of tobacco and clean soap on his body mixed together to create a hormonal scent that assaulted her taste buds.
It seems that some men who smoke don't smell bad.
She hadn't expected Chu Junbai to lend a helping hand; he must have been worried that she would bring shame to the Chu family.
Anyway, thank you very much!
"Thank you!"
Chu Junbai lowered his eyes, his ink-black gaze meeting Mu Xiaowan's.
This was the first time he had seen Mu Xiaowan up close. Her eyes were like the moonlight on an autumn night, clear and bright, with a charming allure. Even the bloodshot eyes couldn't diminish her captivating beauty.
A sudden jolt ran through him, and he quickly looked away.
Everyone thought that Mu Xiaowan had gotten involved with Chu Junbai, but now it's clear that they are in love with each other!
He just hadn't expected Chu Junbai to have such poor taste. Even though the girl was pretty, there were plenty of pretty girls from good families for him to choose from. He really couldn't see things clearly!
An Muxue realized that her attempt had backfired, and she almost broke the chopsticks in her hand.
Mu Xiaowan sought revenge on the spot.
He stepped back from Chu Junbai's embrace and placed his foot on An Muxue's outstretched foot, applying "slight" pressure.
"Ouch! It hurts so much!" An Muxue cried out in surprise.
Mu Xiaowan covered her mouth in surprise and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see it."
Chu Junbai also noticed the foot. He glanced indifferently at An Muxue.
An Muxue dared not look Chu Junbai in the eye. Her eyes were filled with tears. She glared at Mu Xiaowan and was about to leave in anger when she saw Chu Shaoqing rushing over.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, look who's here!"
Chu Shaoqing's face was filled with joy, which was for Mu Xiaowan.
Everyone followed Mu Xiaowan's gaze toward the doorway.
Bai Jiao'e lifted the tent flap to the side, and then several people came in. They were backlit, so Mu Xiaowan couldn't see them clearly.
"Xiao Wan!"
It wasn't until a harsh, sharp voice called her name that she was awakened to the memories deep within her bones. A chill instantly ran up her spine, and her face changed color.
When An Muxue saw several ragged and dirty people walk in, a mocking smile immediately appeared on her face. It turned out that her family members had come.
She sat down again, waiting to see what would happen.
"Xiao Wan, you silly girl, you didn't even tell your family about such a big thing as getting married."
"Your father and I are not dead yet. Do you even care about your father and me? You unfilial daughter."
Even before the person got close, the shouts and curses continued.
This woman was none other than the original owner's extremely mean-spirited mother.
Mu Xiaowan's knuckles turned white as she held the wine bottle.
Who the hell leaked the information?
She thought she had just finished one task, but she didn't expect there to be a side quest.
Moreover, the exceptional individuals who came weren't just the original owner's mother; there were also the original owner's brother and sister-in-law, as well as the exceptionally talented younger sister who "surpassed her mother."
Mu Xiaowan suddenly thought, could it be that bastard He Yongsheng who did it!
The only person who has their family's contact information is He Yongsheng, that despicable man.
At this moment, she was furious; that son of a bitch was never doing anything good.
Without even asking, it's obvious what these people are here for.
Bai Jiao'e chirped from the side, "Xiao Wan, are you so happy you've gone mad? Why don't you greet your mother and your brothers and sisters? Don't you recognize them?"
