Chapter 23: I’m The Young Mistress of The Mu Family Through A Legal Marriage
Luo Chenxi spoke at an appropriate speed and her tone was not high-pitched either. However, it was precisely her calm and composed attitude that formed a bright contrast to Mu Weiwei's exasperation.
There was no need for words to determine whose upbringing was better.
"Y-you're shameless!" Mu Weiwei was burning with rage. "I'll never acknowledge you as my sister-in-law! My brother married you because he had no other choice, you cunning fox. You're going to get a divorce sooner or later. It's best for you to know your place in this family!"
"My place?" Luo Chenxi was already almost done having breakfast so she placed the chopsticks down and said, "My place is that I'm the young mistress of the Mu family through a legal marriage. The marriage certificate is still in my room. Your refusal to acknowledge me is futile. Also, Tang Tang is still here. Please mind your words when you're speaking, Miss. Mu. Otherwise, it'd a bad influence on the princess, wouldn't it?"
Upon listening to her words, Mu Weiwei was speechless. When she was reminded that Tang Tang was still by her side, she hastily lowered her head to look toward the little dumpling.
Tang Tang's brows were tightly knitted and her little face was furrowed akin to a steamed bun. She immediately raised her little chin when she saw Mu Weiwei looking at her. She said aloud, "Aunt bullies Miss. Aunt is a bad person! Tang Tang doesn't like Aunt anymore!"
Her words were akin to ten thousand sharp arrows that pierced Mu Weiwei's chest.
She placed her hand over her heart. "Tang Tang, how could you take the wicked woman's side?"
The little dumpling's reaction was straightforward. She glared at Mu Weiwei furiously before she turned around and threw herself into Luo Chenxi's arms, refusing to look at her aunt anymore.
"Luo Chenxin! Let go of Tang Tang…" Mu Weiwei still wanted to speak.
"Mu Weiwei!" Mu Yichen's deep voice was heard abruptly. "It's true that you should mind your words! Listen to yourself! Is this how a lady from a powerful family speaks? What have you learned from school? Is this how you usually speak to Tang Tang?"
Luo Chenxi's words reminded Mu Yichen of the little dumpling's 'sex talk' last night.
It was time to teach the girl a lesson! Otherwise, she would lead Tang Tang down a corrupt path if this continued.
"You're grounded for a month from tomorrow onward. Stay at home and do your revision after school. You aren't allowed to go out anymore!"
"Brother!" Mu Weiwei glared at Luo Chenxi. She was infuriated!
It was obviously the cunning fox's fault for being shameless. Why did her brother choose to punish her instead? Could he actually have been bewitched by the cunning fox?
Luo Chenxi glared back at her. The corners of her lips curled into a vague, sly smile.
Her accusation of Mu Weiwei of setting a bad example to Tang Tang was not coincidental. She intentionally wanted to remind Mu Yichen about the incident from yesterday night.
Just as expected, Mu Yichen had a drastic change of expression at once.
Meanwhile, Luo Chenxi's gaze swept across to see the clock on the wall. Startled, she stood up in a haste. The meal had taken more than half an hour without her noticing it. She was going to be late!
"Uh…I'm running out of time. I'm leaving! Tang Tang, thank you for your generous treat. I'll be back to accompany you tonight. Muacks!"
Luo Chenxi hastily gave Tang Tang's little cheek a peck before she placed the girl on the chair and was about to leave. freeweb(n)ovel.co(m)
However, she had just stood up when her wrist was grabbed by a strong, huge palm.
"Where are you going?" She heard the man's deep, sexy voice.
Luo Chenxi's ears went numb and her face was blushing pink.
She wanted to pull her hand away from Mu Yichen's grasp, but she did not manage to do so after giving it a few tugs. She could only say, "Mu Yichen, please let go of me. I really have some important matters to attend to. It's already too late for me to leave now. I'm going to be late for sure!"
Luo Chenxi took a glance at the clock once again restlessly.
