C30 Scrub Beginning

Mu Yangyang was stunned for a moment and immediately understood Gu Xiu's intention to not let her get up. She directly laid on Gu Xiu's body and burrowed into his neck. Her voice contained a hint of a spoiled child: "Hubby, I'm so tired …"

"Good girl, let's go to sleep later." Gu Xiu raised his hand and caressed Mu Yangyang's hair. The doting tone of his voice made Mu Yangyang absent-minded. She almost believed that he was telling her that.

If she didn't know her identity, she would have thought Gu Xiu was facing the woman she loved the most.

This man was truly terrifying.

Mu Yangyang sneered coldly in her heart, but Gu Xiu didn't seem to notice it. He turned his head and looked impatiently at Liu Jiao, "Is something the matter?"

Liu Jiao felt cold all over her body. Seeing the two people who seemed to love each other, she shivered a little and felt the coldness in Gu Xiu's eyes. She was stunned for a moment and then said with a trembling voice, "The old lady said to rest when she asks you to eat something. Don't miss the time tonight."

"Mm, I understand. You can go now."

After hearing that, she waved her hands to chase him away. Liu Jiao's face turned pale as if she was very wronged, "Little Xiu, you haven't come back for a long time. Can't Mom even talk to you here?"

Mu Yangyang had already got off Gu Xiu's body and sat to the side. Hearing Liu Jiao's tone, she raised her eyebrows in interest.

Gu Xiu sat up and looked at Liu Jiao with a mocking smile. "You are not my mom. My mom died more than ten years ago."

Liu Jiao froze for a second, her face turned as white as paper. Gu Xiu seemed to be unaware of his words, he got up from the bed and walked over to Liu Jiao with a sneer, saying softly, "Do you think that if my mom knew, would she come and take your life?"

Liu Jiao's body shuddered as she forced a smile. "Little Xiu, what nonsense are you talking about? Sister Lan, she …"

"Get out."

Before Liu Jiao could finish her sentence, Gu Xiu spat out the three words emotionlessly.

Liu Jiao was stunned for a moment. She looked at Gu Xiu in disbelief. "What did you say?"

"I said get out." Gu Xiu glanced at her and said expressionlessly: "You don't deserve to call me mom and sister."

"You …"

Liu Jiao's face was pale. She looked like she wanted to say something, but when she saw Gu Xiu's cold eyes, she forced herself to stay silent and turned around to leave.

Gu Xiu closed the door with an expression of grief that Mu Yangyang had never seen before.

Subconsciously feeling that Gu Xiu's untouchable wound had been touched, Mu Yangyang slightly frowned. She wanted to say something to comfort him, but maintained her rational silence.

The room became quiet just like that. The two of them stared at each other without saying anything.

After a while, Gu Xiu seemed to have gotten rid of his emotions. He turned around and looked at Mu Yangyang blandly, saying, "Aren't you sleepy?" "Let's sleep for a while."

Mu Yangyang raised her eyebrows and weighed the possibility of her asking what she wanted to ask. After getting beaten to death, she probed, "What is the relationship between your mother and your stepmother?"

Gu Xiu seemed to have predicted that Mu Yangyang would ask such a question. He looked at Mu Yangyang and said calmly, "They were good sisters in the past."

Mu Yangyang nodded. She already had an idea of how the two sisters would fight over a man in a melodrama, but she tactfully kept quiet. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Then let's sleep. I'm also tired."

After walking around for a while, Mu Yangyang finally understood what Gu Xiu meant by telling her to eat more. He had digested all the food in her stomach, if she didn't get some sleep now, she would have to lie on the ground hungry before dinner time.

Mu Yangyang's body had been ravaged because of her previous job as a alcohol hostess in Japan. Especially when it came to eating, she couldn't eat too much. If she was too full, her stomach would hurt. When she was hungry, she didn't get a timely supplement, but instead, she would suffer a lot because this made her miserable for a long time. Finally, it ended with her letting nature take its course.

After walking so far, Mu Yangyang was also tired. She didn't have time to worry about Gu Xiu lying beside her and fell asleep very quickly. Looking at the quiet Mu Yangyang, a dim light flashed across Gu Xiu's eyes. He reached out his hand to caress Mu Yangyang's face and muttered to himself, "Mu Yangyang, don't betray me. Please don't …"

When Mu Yangyang woke up, she yawned comfortably as she had never felt so relaxed before. Gu Xiu was dressing himself as he saw Mu Yangyang had woken up. He said calmly, "Get up and change your clothes. We are going over."

Then he turned and went into the bathroom.

Feeling helpless, Mu Yangyang climbed up to the bed and looked at her messy makeup. Sighing helplessly, she started to repair it patiently. Finally, when she came out of the washroom, she stood beside him.

The makeup was exquisite and not impetuous, giving off the impression of a lady from a noble family. However, her beautiful face gave off a piercing feeling. "Mu Yangyang had also purposely painted herself into this state. If she hadn't guessed wrongly, then that Liu Jiao wouldn't have let him off so easily. She still had a battle to fight tonight.

If he wanted to win, he had to first surpass the other party in terms of momentum.

With a confident and proper smile on her face, Mu Yangyang naturally took Gu Xiu's arm and they walked towards the dining hall together.

When Gu Xiu saw Mu Yangyang's slightly sharp makeup, he slightly raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything. Mu Yangyang was a smart woman who knew what to do and what not to do, so he was more assured that he would hand over most of the power of controlling the situation to her.

By the time the two of them arrived, more than half of the people had already gathered around the dining table. They were holding teacups and laughing as they talked. When they saw the two of them enter the dining room, they immediately quietened down.

Mu Yangyang was keenly aware that there were many among them who weren't friendly with her, and some of them didn't even look at her.

Ye Zichen smiled. She wasn't the kind of woman who was afraid of being ignored by others. It was great that she didn't want Gu Xiu to say anything in front of her, so she wouldn't be able to fight back.

Gu Xiu was a cold person, so no one said anything. He didn't say anything and just led Mu Yangyang to his seat. He glanced at Liu Jiao, who was sitting diagonally across from him, and warned her in his eyes.

Liu Jiao quickly shifted her gaze and whispered something to her son. From time to time, she raised her head to look at Mu Yangyang.

Mu Yangyang sat up straight with a confident smile on her face. No one could find anything wrong with her.

People would always pay attention to what they paid attention to out of habit. Seeing that Gu Xiu and Mu Yangyang didn't have any intention of talking or doing anything, Ye Zichen couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. These random relatives simply turned their eyes away again, as if they didn't see these two, and started to chat with others.

"Your family is really strange. They're all family members, yet they still want to build connections?"

Mu Yangyang's ears pricked as she heard these words. She poked Gu Xiu's arm out of curiosity. Gu Xiu smiled with a hint of sarcasm: "Although we are all from the same family, but we all have our own thoughts. It's easier to do things if we have more connections."

Mu Yangyang smiled but did not nod or shake her head. After all, she didn't understand what Gu Xiu was trying to express.

Although Mu Yangyang knew that merchants would get along with each other for benefits, she had never experienced such things personally. She still didn't understand why the Wu family was so distant from them.

Before Mu Yangyang could think about it, she suddenly heard everyone quieten down and looked up. The old lady, supported by Gu Xun, had a kind smile on her face but didn't seem sincere. Only when she saw Gu Xiu and Mu Yangyang, did her eyes show more sincerity.

"Grandma, sit here."

This was the main seat. Mu Yangyang calculated in her heart. According to seniority, Gu Xiu and it didn't have the qualifications to sit here. It was probably due to the fact that Gu Xiu was liked by the old lady.

"Sigh, good. Gu Xun, go sit down. No need to support me."

The old lady waved Gu Xun back to Liu Jiao's side. She walked up to Mu Yangyang and saw the bracelet on her hand. With a smile, she said, "Good child, I knew this bracelet would be very suitable for you."

Mu Yangyang quickly stood up and helped the old lady up, smiling. "Grandmother's insight is great. It's just that I've received such a big gift, so I'm a little worried."

"We're all family, what's there to be worried about?" The old lady glared at him and looked around in a circle like a warning, "If anyone is dissatisfied, then just let her come find me!"

The crowd trembled in fear. This old lady's attitude clearly showed that she wanted to protect Mu Yangyang.

Gu Xiu also smiled and supported her on the other side, "Grandma, let's sit down and talk."

The old lady nodded. She waved away Gu Xiu and sat on the other side of Mu Yangyang. Gu Xiu had no choice but to sit at the seat of honor.

At this moment, the expressions of everyone present changed.

"Old lady, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate, right?"

"What's wrong with it? "My wife is getting old. It's time to let her go."

Gu Xiu smiled and looked towards the person who spoke, "Third Aunt, do you have any objections?"

"No, no …"

However, the man beside him still had a face full of dissatisfaction. After seeing that his woman didn't say anything, he stood up and frowned while looking at Gu Xiu: "Gu Xiu, how shameless, apologize to your aunt!"

Bullying others.

This was the first thought that came to Mu Yangyang's mind. She used her identity as a senior to suppress the juniors. Gu Xiu's expression became a lot uglier, but he couldn't say it out loud.

No matter how much the other party disliked him, he was still a member of the clan and was his third uncle. If he were to be called unfaithful or unfilial, it would greatly affect his future plans.

The old lady lowered her head and drank her tea as if she hadn't heard anything, waiting for them to deal with it. Gu Xiu didn't even have time to say anything, before Mu Yangyang suddenly stood up with a cold expression and stared at the man: "Third Uncle, we salute you as elders and call you Third Uncle. Now I can be considered a member of the Gu family.

The man's face stiffened as he glared coldly at Mu Yangyang. "You little girl, what right do you have to say that you're a member of our Gu family?"

"Gu Xiu and I have already received our certificates. Are you saying that Gu Xiu is not of the Gu family's bloodline?"

Mu Yangyang sneered as she threw out a bomb without batting an eyelid, causing the man's expression to change.

The atmosphere was tense.
