Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001: The Wedding Arrives as Scheduled Part 1 (1)

Inside the studio:

Mu Wan’s cold eyes fixed on Wang Xue and Jingjing, with a clear determination to not back down.

They could insult her verbally, but they must not insult Mu Qingqiu...

Much less lay a hand on her.

Wang Xue and Jingjing, seeing Mu Wan’s imposing stance, couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.

Though Dongyue wasn’t particularly prosperous, it was enough to keep the mother and daughter living comfortably in a wealthy household. If... Mu Wan really persuaded Qin Mu to do something to Dongyue, the Wu Family would collapse.

And the mother and daughter would be left to fend for themselves, struggling to survive.

Wang Xue looked at Mu Wan’s serious and resolute expression and awkwardly spoke.

"Haha... Mu Wan, do you think you can scare me? I... The Qin Family wouldn’t act so recklessly... And Dongyue isn’t a pushover."

Mu Wan: "..."

Really, not shedding a tear until they see the coffin, huh.

Mu Wan pulled her lips into a faint smile, carefully supporting Mu Qingqiu, and immediately retorted, "Oh, is that so? Dongyue has been languishing in mediocrity these years, while you and Jingjing squander without restraint. So, as for the Wu Family’s financial state right now, I think you know best."

All these years... Ever since Mu Qingqiu found out that Wu Kun was a married man, she severed all ties with him.

Which meant... All these years, Mu Wan had been raised single-handedly by Mu Qingqiu, who endured hardship and toiled for her daughter.

Wang Xue: "..."

Wang Xue swallowed hard. Mu Wan’s sharp, unyielding words left no room for rebuttal.

Jingjing, however, placed her hands on her hips and pointed at Mu Wan’s nose, cursing angrily.

"Mu Wan... Stop spouting nonsense!"

"I’m not spouting nonsense... Everyone knows the truth in their hearts... Comparing the Wu Family’s assets to the Qin Family’s is a stark contrast. Although I don’t know precisely how much the Qin Family owns, the fact that they chose me means they must acknowledge my mother. I personally don’t care about the Wu Family, and I doubt the Qin Family would bother either."

After a pause, Mu Wan spoke firmly, enunciating every word: "Most importantly, my surname is Mu, not Wu. Wang Xue, if you continue to press me so aggressively, I’m sorry... I couldn’t care less about the fate of the Wu Family."

Wang Xue: "..."

Jingjing: "..."

Wang Xue and Jingjing were once again frozen in place by Mu Wan’s words, their entire bodies stiffening, as a chill seemed to creep up their spines.

Suddenly... The false bravado and forced smiles they had been displaying collapsed entirely.

"You... You..."

"Apologize!"

Mu Wan’s eyes were filled with icy resolve, leaving no room for leniency when it came to the matter of an apology.

She hadn’t forgotten the slap Wang Xue dealt earlier, which had sent Mu Qingqiu crashing to the ground, accompanied by curses wishing both her and her mother dead.

Such a person must not be forgiven or overlooked.

Now... With words exchanged to this point, Wang Xue found herself with no choice but to apologize, unable to find a way out of the situation.

Jingjing reached out her small hand and tugged at Wang Xue’s sleeve, whispering, "Mom, a wise person knows when to back down. Just apologize now, or else this Mu Wan... She’s capable of doing anything."

Wang Xue: "..."

Hearing Jingjing’s well-intentioned advice, Wang Xue reluctantly said, "Fine, I’ll admit I was in the wrong this time. Sorry..."

"That’s your attitude when apologizing?"

Mu Wan, who usually kept her silence, instantly transformed into a sharp-tongued thorn whenever Mu Qingqiu suffered grievances, unwilling to let anyone off lightly.
