Chapter 9 Her Great Aunt Is Here

Xiao Yu was very hungry and ate shabu-shabu quickly and in large amounts.

Mu Qingwu ate some clear soup and shabu-shabu, then stopped eating.

I am excited about the free drinks available at the hot pot restaurant.

"Is the drink tasty?" Xiao Yu joked, smiling. "I can tell you're eager for some freebies!"

Mu Qingwu: ...

I really want to hit him, otherwise it's hard to get over it!

"I haven't asked you yet," Xiao Yu said unclearly. "What do you do for a living?"

"I work at a small company," replied Mu Qingwu.

Mu Qingwu gave him a cold look, her eyes clear like a late autumn pond, full of mischief and resentment.

"..."

Xiao Yu felt the urge to hit Mu Qingwu this time.

'You could trade in your supercar for a job at a small company, couldn't you?'

It can be inferred that Mu Qingwu might be the type of woman who is in charge, or a "female boss."

She may also be the type of older woman that younger men desire but cannot attain, often referred to as a "cougar."

"I don't want to work hard anymore, Auntie," Xiao Yu laughed and played a past life meme.

"What?" Mu Qingwu was surprised, but quickly recovered and responded angrily, "Is it entertaining for a man to bully a vulnerable woman?"

"I wouldn't even bully a vulnerable woman, so how could I bully anyone else?" Xiao Yu chuckled and shook his head. "Sister, don't act like you're innocent, I'm not blind."

In reality, both of them are seeking revenge against the other for treating them as mere tools.

"Hmph." Mu Qingwu snorted coldly.

"Tell me how we can work together," Xiao Yu's heart started to feel uneasy. "Your mother... no, I mean Auntie, how is she doing?"

"She's doing alright," Mu Qingwu pondered for a moment, then smirked, "Although she's not particularly fond of me!"

"Same as my mother," Xiao Yu said with a wry smile as he thought about his own mother.

It seems that parents all around the world are often less friendly towards their own children and more fond of other people's children.

'Are you going home tonight?'

'It just happens that the boss is working overtime tonight, so let's spend the night at the office.'

Xiao Yu thought about running away without telling her blind date today.

'If I go home now, my mother will definitely scold me!'

Observing Xiao Yu's expression changing from frowning to fearful, Mu Qingwu became curious and asked, "Is your mother scary?"

Xiao Yu's face became pale and she replied, "I'm afraid you may have misinterpreted the word 'scary.' To describe my mother... it would be more accurate to say she is cruel."

Mu Qingwu was amused, and her eyes, which were previously clear and cold, suddenly became sparkling and soft. "Ha ha, is that so?" she asked in a playful tone.

"It's true," Xiao Yu said with a wry smile. "Although my dad and I have both been subjected to her severe beatings, my mother is still the best mother in my heart."

As Xiao Yu thought about his current mother, warmth spread across his face. She truly is a mother who protects her children.

Despite her tendencies to bully her son and husband, she would not hesitate to take revenge on anyone who dares to harm them.

She is the epitome of a Northeastern woman!

"I'm a little envious." Mu Qingwu sighed.

"It's the same everywhere," Xiao Yu said with a smile. "Mothers envy other people's children, and children envy other people's mothers."

"It certainly seems that way," Mu Qingwu nodded in agreement. She then looked at the man in front of her and asked, "Are you full? Let me take you somewhere."

A small high-end store.

Xiao, kept looking around.

Under Mu Qingwu's command and with the help of the store's employees, Xiao changed into a new outfit, including a belt, shoes, and even got a new hairstyle.

When he came out of the dressing room, everyone present was amazed.

It's true that people judge you based on your appearance.

Wearing the new luxurious clothes, Xiao looked impressive with his tall and straight posture, fair skin, straight nose, and shining eyes. His movements were graceful like a gentle breeze.

Overall, he looked outstanding in the well-tailored casual outfit.

This is the reason why Xiao Yu usually dresses casually and doesn't pay much attention to his clothes, He obviously has an overly handsome face and a model figure.

While good looks may help you in some careers, in the police profession, it's more important to rely on skills and professionalism.

After a while, Mu Qingwu regained her composure and noticed that the female owner and waitress of the boutique were staring at Xiao Yu with great admiration, which made her feel a sudden and inexplicable anger.

She might have questioned herself why she was feeling that way.

Shaking her head, Mu Qingwu said, "That's it."

Without hesitation, Mu Qingwu took Xiao Yu and left the boutique.

In The Car

Mu Qingwu's face turned slightly cold as she said, "Wear this suit to meet my mother tomorrow. You can wear it for once, but you can't wear it again in the future."

"Huh?" Xiao Yu was a little puzzled.

Looks like she's not in a good mood

Mu Qingwu turned to Xiao Yu and gave him a stern look as she asked, "Did you hear what I said?"

"Ok" Xiao Yu shrugged in response.

It's clear that Mu Qingwu has a bad temper and it's best for girls to avoid provoking her.

Later, they discussed the details of meeting their elders the next day while in the car.

Xiao Yu got out of the sports car and went back to the Criminal Investigation Brigade while Mu Qingwu stayed behind for a while, watching Xiao Yu's figure until he was out of sight before driving away.
