Chapter 26 How is my son-in-law

Xi Yuancheng walked out and extended his hand to welcome Dongfang Yu. Dongfang Yu immediately handed him the check for ten million, just to avoid shaking hands with him.

"My brother asked me to hand it to you. He said it was a return gift from sister-in-law," Dongfang Yu said.

Dongfang Yu sounded very indifferent and emotionless.

Xi Yuancheng's face blushed slightly, but he warmly invited Dongfang Yu to sit down. He loudly ordered his wife, Du Xinyue, to quickly make tea.

He sat down and chatted with Dongfang Yu, telling him how good Mu Ru was. He told Dongfang Yu that she was gentle, obedient, sensible, and smart. He also told him that she was the top scorer in the college entrance exam.

Mu Ru couldn't stand hearing her father. She went to the kitchen and helped Mother Wang with the chores. Mother Wang walked up to Mu Ru and held her hand affectionately.

"Is my son-in-law good to you?" Mother Wang asked.

She was quite conflicted about what she had to say. She thought, 'Of course not. Dongfang Mo is like a devil. How could he be good to me? He even insulted me the other night.'

However, she couldn't say it out loud to Mother Wang, who deeply cared about her.

She only said, "He's very good. His face looks a little scary, but once you get used to it, you'll be fine."

"Oh, that's good, that's good," Mother Wang said as she nodded in relief.

Mother Wang originally wanted to ask Mu Ru if he was good in that aspect, but she remembered that many people already talked about what happened to him, and she was afraid that her question would make Mu Ru feel uncomfortable. She tactfully didn't ask about it.

Mu Ru and Dongfang Yu had lunch at the Xi family's house. For the first time, the Xi family treated Mu Ru as an important guest, and she was given an important seat. Xi Muxue was the first to sit beside Dongfang Yu. She was constantly putting food into Dongfang Yu's bowl to please him.

Mu Ru lowered her head and didn't say anything. She had never had good relations with her own family, so she buried herself in her bowl and ate quietly. When she finished eating, she went back to the kitchen.

Actually, she had grown up in the kitchen, so she knew everything about the kitchen. Her favorite thing to do was cooking. She missed cooking her specialty dish, lion's head pork meatballs, and Mother Wang once told her that she was better than her at making it.

She had cooked lion's head that afternoon for Dongfang Yu, but she still wanted to make more to bring back to Dongfang Mo.

Dongfang Mo would not go out to eat because of how he looked, so Mu Ru was sure he had not eaten other dishes aside from what Mother Liu would prepare for him. She wanted to bring back food from their household so he could get to try it.

The Xi family originally wanted them to stay for dinner, but Dongfang Yu told them that he had something to do that afternoon and would not have enough time to come back for Mu Ru. He told them he would be back an hour after dinner.

Naturally, Mu Ru had to go back with Dongfang Yu too. Xi Yuancheng gave her a red envelope for the first time. He told her that he had set aside five hundred thousand for her as a wedding gift, so she could go buy herself some jewelry.

Du Xinyue took off the bracelet that she had worn on her wrist for more than twenty years and forced Mu Ru to wear it.

She said to Mu Ru, "Mu Ru, I'm sorry."

Xi Muxue pulled Mu Ru aside. She glanced at Dongfang Yu, who was not far away, before she spoke to Mu Ru.

"Mu Ru, does Dongfang Yu have a girlfriend? When did he come back to the country? What position does he currently hold at Dongfang Corporation?"

Mu Ru could only shake her head helplessly.

Mu Ru really didn't know anything. It had only been three days since she married into the Dongfang family. In the past three days, she had no chance to get to know Dongfang Yu.
