Chapter 18 ugly niece-in-law meets aunt

"You can rest assured that Mu Ru is definitely a good girl. I can guarantee that."

Xi Yuancheng shamelessly patted his own chest as he spoke.

"All right. You can take your beautiful daughter back with you first," Dongfang Mo answered.

Dongfang Mo's voice was cold and emotionless.

He added, "Between a beautiful girl and a good girl, I'd choose the good girl. After all, I'm a little mysophobic."

Xi Yuancheng could no longer care about the insults and ridicule that Dongfang Mo threw at him. Although he knew that Dongfang Mo was furious with him, what was important to him at that moment was being able to bring Mu Xue, his beautiful and precious daughter, safely back home with him.

Mu Ru thought that with Xi Yuancheng and Xi Muxue there, she would no longer have to stay with the Dongfang family. She thought she would get to go home. She never thought that her own father would leave her there. He clearly didn't care whether she would live or die.

"Why are you still standing there?" Dongfang Mo asked her.

Dongfang Mo growled when he saw Mu Ru simply standing in a corner.

"Why aren't you preparing breakfast? You didn't even fight back when she slapped you. What an idiot!"

Mu Ru walked towards the dining room in trepidation. She ignored what Dongfang Mo said. After all, she was used to being bullied by Xi Muxue. Furthermore, she couldn't fight back and stand up to Xi Muxue because their father was there.

Mother Liu brought the breakfast to the dining table. Dongfang Mo moved his wheelchair to the seat at the edge of the dining table. Mu Ru sat down next to him. Because she was afraid, she did not even dare to look up at him.

"You won't even dare to look at me. How are you going to serve me at night?" Dongfang Mo asked her.

Dongfang Mo's voice sounded clearer, but it was still very cold. It still made Mu Ru's hair stand on end.

Wait on him at night?

"Ah Mo, who made you angry again?"

The sweet voice of a middle-aged woman could be heard from the stairs.

Mu Ru looked up and saw a tall, voluptuous woman with a mature charm gracefully walking towards them.

She was slightly stunned. She remembered that she had seen that woman at the wedding the previous day. She couldn't remember who she really was. She seemed to be Dongfang Mo's old, unmarried aunt.

"This is Aunt Gu," Dongfang Mo said.

Dongfang Mo's voice was still cold and stiff.

"Give your regards to Aunt Gu," Dongfang Mo added.

"Ah Mo, don't scare Mu Xue," Aunt Gu said.

The mature woman approached the dining table and sat on the seat across Mu Ru. She smiled at Mu Ru.

She then said, "My name is Dongfang Mei. Yes, Aunt Gu. From now on, you can just follow Ah Mo and call me Aunt Gu."

"Hello, Aunt Gu!" Mu Ru said.

Although Mu Ru didn't understand why Dongfang Mo had to call his mother Aunt Gu, Mu Ru sensibly addressed her the way she was asked to.

"Hey, she's so obedient!" Aunt Gu said.

Dongfang Mei was very happy, and she took out a red envelope, which she handed to Mu Ru.

"Mu Xue, this is something that I prepared for you. Don't think it's too little," Aunt Gu said.

"I...This...I..." Mu Ru was a little uneasy and gently pushed the envelope away with both her hands.

"Aunt Gu wants to give it to you. Why aren't you taking it and thanking her?" Dongfang Mo asked Mu Ru.

Dongfang Mo's hoarse voice was still cold and emotionless. Before Mu Ru could react, Dongfang Mo spoke again.

"By the way, Aunt Gu, she's Xi Muru, not Xi Muxue."

"Ah?" Dongfang Mei was confused, so she stared at Mu Ru with wide eyes. "What's going on?"
