63: Chapter 63: Mu Xiao’s Threat 63: Chapter 63: Mu Xiao’s Threat The “Double Twelfth” evening event ended perfectly, with shopaholic mothers nationwide contributing billions in transactions to e-commerce in one night, breaking historical transaction records again!
The politicians and business moguls who attended the evening event each had their gains, all beaming with joy.
The only person who probably felt upset was Bai Feifei!
From discovering the assassin to Keller getting poisoned and until the truth was fully revealed, maintaining order throughout the event, Bai Feifei felt completely drained by the end of the night!
“I’m dead tired!” Bai Feifei changed into her casual clothes in the dressing room, ready to go home and sleep.
But when she opened the door, Bai Feifei was startled—Mu Xiao’s curious face suddenly popped up in front of her.
“Oh my god, what are you doing here?
You scared me to death!” Bai Feifei said, patting her ample chest in annoyance, “Spill it, how much of my salary did you spend tonight?” Follow current novᴇls on NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
“How can you speak like that, you ungrateful girl!” Mu Xiao put on an utterly heartbroken expression, “Back in the day, I raised you with immense effort, and now you’ve grown wings?
You begrudge even a bit of your salary, why is my life so hard…”
As she spoke, Mu Xiao’s eyes reddened and her eye sockets started to moisten.
Bai Feifei surrendered, “Mom, your acting skills have improved again.
Not giving you the best actress award at the ‘Hundred Flowers Award’ would be a loss to the entertainment industry!
Also, I wasn’t raised on ‘poop and pee,’ how disgusting!”
Mu Xiao’s expression changed instantly, the previously sad demeanor gone in a flash as she cheerily put her arm around Bai Feifei’s shoulder and said, “Oh dear, Feifei, you’ve gotten smart.
Mom can’t fool you anymore!
Actually, I didn’t spend much money tonight, you know I always insist on rational shopping and reject the ‘chopping-hand’ gang!”
Bai Feifei shrugged, “It doesn’t matter, my salary card is in your hands anyway.
If I end up with no money to get married someday, I might as well stay single!”
Hearing this topic, Mu Xiao’s face instantly grew animated, “Getting married?
Hehe, Feifei, you’re already thinking that far ahead!
I always said, your dad and I got married when I was twenty-three and had you when I was twenty-four.
Look at you, over twenty-four and still no action.
I thought you weren’t in a hurry, but it seems you are worried after all.”
Bai Feifei said helplessly, “Rushing won’t help, I can’t just marry anyone casually, that would be irresponsible to my life!
I would rather stay single than settle!”
A disdainful look crossed Mu Xiao’s face, “Tsk, you mean to say you still haven’t found the one?”
“Not at all!” Bai Feifei was getting sleepy, “Enough, I’m wiped out today, I’m going to sleep first, we can talk about anything else when I wake up!”
Just as Bai Feifei was about to leave, Mu Xiao handed her cellphone over, “Stop hiding it and tell me, who is this guy?”
On the cellphone screen was a photo of Bai Feifei whispering intimately with Ling Feng.
Bai Feifei was taken aback and quickly grabbed for it.
But at that moment, Mu Xiao, as if possessed by Mu Guiying, swiftly withdrew the cellphone and then, brimming with triumph, said to Bai Feifei, “Hmph, I saw through all this long ago!
No wonder you weren’t interested in those blind dates I arranged before.
Turns out you had such a handsome young man up your sleeve!”
“Mom, he’s just a friend of mine!” Bai Feifei said helplessly, “You’ve misunderstood!”
“How could someone as smart as I am possibly misunderstand!?” Mu Xiao said with a chuckle, “Of course, he’s just a friend now, since I still have your household registration book!
Feifei, I know what you’re worried about.
It’s just that you feel our Bai Family is a wealthy family and your little boyfriend isn’t our match in social status, right?”
“What do you mean ‘I’?
Our Bai Family isn’t like those other families.
As long as you like him, we will warmly welcome him!” Mu Xiao said, holding Bai Feifei’s hand, “Although our Bai Family isn’t a top wealthy family, we don’t need the women of the Bai Family to marry for alliances.
Feifei, life isn’t easy for a woman!
Once married to the wrong person, it can ruin her entire life!
You’re still young, although already twenty-four, but your emotional experience is really too naive.
I’m afraid you’ll get hurt!”
Looking at Mu Xiao’s watery eyes, Bai Feifei said with a hint of emotion, “Mom, I understand!”
“Ah, you child, you’ve been stubborn since you were small.
You liked kung fu, wanted to be a police officer, and when have your dad and I ever stopped you?
But you should also know, being strong is good for a woman, but even the strongest woman has her fragile and emotional side!
Speaking of which, how is that boy?”
Thinking of Ling Feng, Bai Feifei said spontaneously, “He’s very capable and powerful.
It seems there’s no problem he can’t solve!
And seeing him, I just feel very happy and at ease…”
“Do you like him a bit?”
“Haha, I knew it!” Suddenly, Mu Xiao dropped her tender tone, proudly saying, “Feifei, that’s you admitting you like that boy, huh?
When will you invite him to our home, huh?
I mean, as your future mother-in-law, I should meet this prospective son-in-law, right?”
Bai Feifei froze, her mouth agape in disbelief, “Mom, all this…
“Hmph, if I hadn’t played this assassin card, how would you have admitted that you liked a boy?” Mu Xiao boasted, “I’m telling you, I have plenty more tricks up my sleeve!
You’re too green to match wits with me!”
Bai Feifei gritted her teeth, feeling genuinely moved at first.
But unexpectedly, all her mom wanted was to trick her into spilling her thoughts!
Mu Xiao pocketed her phone, then slyly glanced at Bai Feifei, “I’ve noted your words, let me tell you, I want to meet my future son-in-law within a week, otherwise, I’ll spread the news about your crush far and wide!
Just think about those aunts and great-aunts of yours, they will certainly love this news!”
Bai Feifei shuddered.
If those nosy gossiping women found out…
she would probably never be able to lift her head again in this lifetime!
“Mu Xiao!” Bai Feifei shouted angrily.
But at that moment, Mu Xiao had already left, “You disrespectful little brat, am I not doing this for your own good!
Remember, you only have one week!”
Bai Feifei leaned against the doorframe, torn between laughter and tears, what to do, should she really invite Ling Feng to visit the Bai Family?
For some reason, there was a small thrill in her heart.
“Sigh, this bothersome girl, finally growing up and experiencing spring (*adolescent affection*), do you think it’s easy for me!” Mu Xiao patted her chest, “But to take our Feifei away, he’d better have the skills to match!”
