It disgusted Mu Nuannuan when she saw how mean Mu Wanqi was. Thus, she demanded, “What are you talking about?” “Have I gotten it wrong? You know better,” Mu Wanqi sneered. “You dare say that you’re not into Chuhan?”Mu Nuannuan remained silent with her head low. She knew she could not deny it because Shen Chuhan had been the man she liked all this while.Just then, Mu Wanqi sounded startled. “Chuhan?”Mu Nuannuan looked up and noticed that Shen Chuhan was already back. Her heart skipped a beat. She wondered how much of the conversation he had heard. However, Shen Chuhan looked away, apparently to avoid her eyes. She knew then that he had heard it all.Mu Wanqi was pleased to see Shen Chuhan’s reaction. She smiled and consoled him, “Chuhan, there shouldn’t be any more baggage between us. Nuannuan is married. We can now be together.”That was more like it. Anyone would have reacted the same way before an ugly and dumb woman like Mu Nuannuan. It was a wonder that Moo Tingxiao’s cousin wa

Mu Nuannuan glanced at the bitter-looking “Moo Jiachen” and was shocked to see his hand bleeding. She swore she had added nothing weird to the food, so why did he mutilate himself?Mu Tingxiao ignored her and wanted to walk away. Just then, his phone rang. He peered at the unfamiliar number on his phone and hung up right away before he looked at Mu Nuannuan. “Let’s go back in.”His voice sounded gloomy and depressed. It was apparent that he was emotionally disturbed. Feeling a little scared, Mu Nuannuan quietly retreated into the house. However, she left her hand on the door, leaving it open as she was reluctant to shut the man out.Moo Tingxiao did not notice the dilemma on her face because his phone rang again. Instead of a strange number, it was a call from Shiye. He picked up the call without hesitation in front of Mu Nuannuan. “Why is he calling?”“He wants you to come home with his daughter-in-law for dinner, tonight.”“Hmph!” Moo Tingxiao sneered. “You can just ignore his call t

Mu Nuannuan never imagined that a powerful man as rich as Croesus[1] would be such a nice person. Transfixed for a moment, she said, “I—I’m Mu Nuannuan.” This time, her reaction was genuine; she was dumbstruck.“Be at ease. You’re now part of the Moo Family and also my half daughter.” While he spoke, Moo Qingfeng poured her a glass of water.During her years in the Mu Family, her dad, Mu Liyan never looked her in the eye, while her mom, Xiao Chuhe gave all of her attention to Mu Wanqi and her brother. No elder had ever treated her with such gentleness. She was completely overwhelmed.Mu Nuannuan took the glass of water from him and said, “Thank you.”“You can call me ‘Dad’, the same way Tingxiao calls me.” As he spoke, Moo Qingfeng secretly observed her. In the looks department, she did not earn any score. She was even obtuse. Nevertheless, she was well-mannered and genuine—a good kid.“Dad,” Mu Nuannuan greeted after a moment of hesitation. Moo Qingfeng smiled and said apologetically

Mu Nuannuan stood paralyzed for a second. She then pushed her glasses up her nose and acknowledged him in a silly dimwitted voice, “Oh.” In her mind, Moo Tingxiao had already despised her since the day they got married. So, when he told her she was ugly, she did not feel angry or hurt.“If there’s nothing else, I’ll excuse myself.” Moo Tingxiao did not say another word. Mu Nuannuan turned around, walked out, and closed the door behind her. Moo Tingxiao swirled the chair around, facing the door. Fuff, this ugly woman is full of surprises.…It was still early; Mu Nuannuan had no plans to sleep just yet. In the living room, she sat on the sofa with the TV on. How funny it was that she felt happy about what had just transpired. Despite his disdain for her, Moo Tingxiao was willing to “see” her and did nothing to embarrass her. Just that alone was miles better than the Mu Family’s treatment.After a while, she heard someone whistle behind her. She looked back and saw “Moo Jiachen” saunter

Mu Nuannuan read almost all of the posts. She consoled herself, saying that it was a blessing in disguise. If she had a Weibo account, the entire online community would have swarmed her with nasty remarks. It was hard not to get angry when she read such vicious verbal abuse. Mu Nuannuan could not help but call Mu Wanqi. The phone rang for a long while before Mu Wanqi answered. “What a surprise to have you call me. What is this about?” Her voice was soft and composed, as though she did not know what was going on in cyberspace.Mu Nuannuan sneered, the corner of her mouth cocked at an angle. She fought back her anger and made herself sound natural and cool. “The hot searches on Weibo, and the news online; what’s going on?” She had checked. It was not just on Weibo, but several media outlets had also published news about her. It was all over the place. People generally enjoyed reading gossip, especially family squabbles of the rich. Therefore, the media did not want to miss the opportun
