His Beloved Treasure

Qingxin Mu sure has a way with words, and she’s super good at beating around the bush.

Secretly, Qin Mu gave her a thumbs up in his mind.

”There was a famous lady overseas who was abandoned by a man, and that man married Qingmei as his wife. The famous lady immediately bullied Qingmei with all sorts of despicable tactics. Do you think this woman is very shameful?”

While holding onto Jing Qing’s hand, Qingxin Mu continued to speak while looking at Jing Qing’s face, as if narrating a movie.

Jing Qing gave an awkward laugh, guessing in her mind, then whispered, ”Where did you hear all this nonsense? Maybe that famous lady is actually the victim?”

”But whether a man loves someone or not, it’s apparent in his eyes. Wait until my brother comes out, I’ll definitely be able to tell from his eyes that his true love is you. This woman is practically a robber, robbing my brother, the robber.”

Qin Mu...

It was rare to meet such a sister-in-law, but Qin Mu thought that what Qingxin Mu had said was simply too satisfying.

Because of Qingxin Mu’s status, Jing Qing dared not do anything to her, but Qin Mu felt like it would have been better if Qingxin Mu had been even harsher, more direct.

Only when Jing Qing heard Qingxin Mu say that Qin Mu had stolen Yichen Mu, calling her a robber, did Jing Qing’s expression soften a bit, but Qingxin Mu always managed to say something else the very next second, leaving her on edge.

Suddenly, Jing Qing regretted this entire gathering, feeling that Qingxin Mu had changed from before. She recalled how Qingxin Mu used to follow her around, calling her ”Sister Jing Qing,” and now, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly, ”Qingxin, how many months has it been?”

Upon hearing this, Qingxin Mu immediately covered her stomach, laughing: ”Haha, aren’t you surprised? I can have kids too! Haha, Sister Jing Qing, you should hurry and find a man to have one too. I’m telling you, being pregnant feels so peculiar.”

”I’m afraid I’m not that fortunate!”

Thinking of Yichen Mu’s attitude towards her, Jing Qing felt her heart cool even further.

”Why not? Three-legged toads might be hard to find, but men with two legs are all over the streets. With your looks, what man can’t you hook? As for my brother, he can just stay with that wicked woman. The two of them are terrible, a matched pair of baddies!”

Qingxin Mu even gave Qin Mu a cold snort, but with those words spoken, there were those who were excited and some who were disappointed.

”I suddenly feel a bit unwell. You’ll be staying here for a few more days, right? Can I arrange to meet with you alone another day?”

”Sure! But about your dress, why don’t you let Qin Mu compensate you with another one? After all, Huanhuan is part of our family; she is Huanhuan’s mother, not an outsider. Don’t be polite, just order her around. Her compensation is as good as Huanhuan’s since Huanhuan can’t afford it right now, hehe.”

”No need!”

Jing Qing said, and without waiting for Feng Fanghua to emerge, she hurriedly left.

When the two men came downstairs, they saw Jing Qing’s hastily retreating figure, Jiang Yan whispered, ”Isn’t that woman the fabled fiancée of yours?”

”You seem to not wish for my sister to leave with you, do you?”

Yichen Mu hated it most when others paired Jing Qing with him, especially when they mentioned that ghost story of a fiancée.

”Just kidding, you better not take it seriously, big brother-in-law.”

Jiang Yan immediately chuckled mischievously.

Yichen Mu headed downstairs but couldn’t help but frown, wondering what that woman was doing here so late.

”Brother, what were you two doing upstairs? It took you so long to come down.”

Qingxin Mu was a little heartbroken that her brother hadn’t witnessed her skillful, clean takedown of Jing Qing, that deceitful woman.

”Yeah, but you missed a great show.”

Qin Mu chimed in, helpfully reminding her.

Yichen Mu smiled, sat on the armrest of the sofa next to her, and looked at his silly little sister, asking, ”How did you ’deal’ with her?”

”Hmph! I won’t tell you, but Qin Mu, you better not forget what you promised me!”

Qingxin Mu spoke while also extending her finger.

Yichen Mu ordered with a cold face, ”Put your finger down!”

Qin Mu didn’t mind and asked out of curiosity, ”Are you talking about designing the wedding dress?”

”Yes!”

”That’s not even a request. Even if you don’t consider me your sister-in-law, since you accept Huanhuan as your niece, it’s my duty.”

Qin Mu declared.

”And it’s free!”

Qingxin Mu’s eyes practically popped out in excitement.

Jiang Yan stood across from her, shaking his head helplessly, ”Was she also like this at home?”

”Exactly!”

Yichen Mu responded helplessly.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh, thinking he had to win over this sister-in-law; it was essential to bribe the sister-in-law.
