Going back to being twenty, taking her heartbroken son to a massage parlor.

After seeing the technician off, Su Mu even paid some medical expenses.

The door closed.

The living room returned to silence.

Su Mu and his three brothers sat back down at the dining table.

The wine on the table was rearranged.

Xia Qingwu casually tied her hair up with a hair tie, then turned and walked into the kitchen.

Su Mu sat in the main seat, his gaze passing over the glass sliding door to the busy figure in the kitchen.

The light shone on her shoulders, outlining their soft lines.

The rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables came from the cutting board.

笃.

笃.

笃.

This experience is truly peculiar.

Having lived for thirty-eight years, this was the first time he had experienced such a down-to-earth atmosphere.

It feels very reassuring.

It even has the feel of home.

Just as Su Mu was about to speak to break the silence, a large face suddenly appeared in front of him.

The fourth brother, Brother Shu, stared with his large, bell-like eyes, his face full of indignation.

"Boss!"

"This is what you mean by 'ordinary'?"

"Is this the rustic countrywoman you were talking about?"

Brother Shu lowered his voice, pointed towards the kitchen, and spat everywhere.

"You're completely deceiving your brothers' feelings!"

"How could you marry such a beautiful wife!"

"She looks like a big star, and her aura is so strong!"

"How are we supposed to live like this?!"

Su Mu secretly rejoiced at his brother's envious and jealous remarks.

What man doesn't want his woman to make him look good when he goes out with her?

But he habitually waved his hand, feigning modesty.

"Oh well, it's nothing special."

"Having long legs can be a plus."

"In terms of looks, I'd say I'm only about second best among the people I know."

In the kitchen.

The chopping sound abruptly stopped.

Dangerous signals filled the air.

Su Mu felt a chill run down his spine, his survival instinct kicked in, and he raised his voice to try and salvage the situation.

"My mom is number one!"

"My mother was a renowned beauty in the surrounding area when she was young!"

The kitchen was silent for two seconds.

Then.

笃.

笃.

笃.

The sound of chopping vegetables resumed, much faster than before.

Su Mu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Is this yandere's hearing like radar?!

You could hear it clearly even through the glass door!

The third brother, Zhang Chi, raised his wine glass and clinked it against Su Mu's.

The cups collided, making a crisp sound.

"Boss, let's have a drink."

Zhang Chi drank it all in one gulp and wiped his mouth.

"It's obvious that your new sister-in-law has a bit of a temper."

"The way he stabbed someone with the hairpin just now was really scary."

"but!"

Zhang Chi gave a thumbs up.

"They care about you!"

"That's what a good woman should be like to live a good life."

"He'll save face for you, and he'll even cook snacks for the brothers to enjoy with their drinks."

"Congratulations, boss! Your hard work has finally paid off!"

Su Mu picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and nodded with deep feeling.

"That's right."

"She's so much better than Jiang Yiyao."

In the kitchen.

Xia Qingwu stopped slicing the braised beef.

She tilted her head, listened to the conversation outside, and nodded in satisfaction.

You're smart to know your place.

She plated the sliced ​​beef and turned to open the refrigerator.

Let's cut some more fruit.

Cut a cantaloupe.

Su Mu sat outside, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught Xia Qingwu taking fruit out of the refrigerator. His lips twitched.

How could I not eavesdrop!

The second son, Liao Tianci, kept frowning and staring at the direction of the kitchen.

He touched the stubble on his chin, his face full of doubt.

"Boss, why does my new sister-in-law look so familiar?"

"That aura was too strong; it was definitely not something an ordinary person could have."

"Where does she work?"

Liao Tianci couldn't help but feel that Xia Qingwu looked familiar.

That condescending air, that oppressive feeling that comes with looking at people.

Only those who have long held a high position have it.

But no matter how hard I racked my brains, I still couldn't figure out who it was.

Su Mu chuckled and gave a perfunctory reply.

"They used to work for the same company as me."

"But she works for the head office."

He didn't dare tell the truth.

If you told these guys that the woman cutting meat in the kitchen was Xia Qingwu, the billionaire female president of Muqing Group.

All three of them were so scared they wet themselves on the spot.

Liao Tianci suddenly realized and slapped his thigh.

"oh!"

"So he's a senior executive!"

"No wonder he has such a strong presence!"

When the topic turned to work, Liao Tianci put away his joking thoughts, looked at Su Mu, and spoke seriously.

"Boss, after you quit your job, is it easy to find another one?"

Su Mu picked up a peanut, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it with a crunching sound.

"It's alright."

"I'm not short of money right now, so I'm not in a hurry to find a job."

"Let's rest for a while first."

Upon hearing this, Liao Tianci frowned even more deeply.

He owns his own company and knows the current job market all too well.

Thirty-eight years old.

An older programmer.

I'm way past the age of optimization.

Which company would want a seasoned veteran who's almost forty?

The eldest brother clearly can't find a job, but he's just stubbornly clinging to his pride.

Liao Tianci sighed and patted Su Mu on the shoulder.

"Boss, why don't you come work for my company?"

"Don't be so quick to refuse!"

"I know you care about your image, but the current economic climate is bad, and jobs are really hard to find."

"Come work for me, and your salary will be the industry average."

"but!"

"You don't need to work overtime!"

"Leave on time, weekends off!"

"We're brothers, how could I possibly mistreat you?"

The third brother, Zhang Chi, nodded frantically beside him, joining the persuasion effort.

"Yes!"

"Big brother, you should just go work at the second brother's company."

"It's better than working overtime and being exploited at those idiotic companies!"

"Look at the kind of life you've been living before!"

Brother Shu slammed his hand on the table, causing the wine in his glass to spill out.

"that is!"

"Look at all the idiot bosses you've been dealing with!"

"You actually made me work overtime until midnight before going home!"

"Isn't this bullying an honest person?!"

"They treat you like a beast of burden!"

As Su Mu listened to his brothers cursing more and more enthusiastically, cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.

He quickly waved his hand, trying to stop this dangerous topic.

"Hey, let's not talk about this."

"It's all in the past, let's drink."

Who was his real boss before?

Isn't that Xia Qingwu, the one cutting cantaloupe in the kitchen?

You called her an idiot in front of her.

Do they have a death wish?!

The fourth brother, Brother Shu, completely failed to grasp Su Mu's good intentions and instead became even more enthusiastic.

"What's wrong!"

"Are you afraid of that idiot boss?"

Brother Shu rolled up his sleeves, revealing the muscles on his arms.

"I'm telling you, next time you see him, just beat him up!"

"I've already quit my job, what's there to be afraid of!"

"At worst, your brothers will stand up for you, put a sack over his head, and you can give him a good beating!"

The kitchen door was pushed open.

Xia Qingwu came out carrying a large tray.

The tray contained sliced ​​braised beef, fried peanuts, and a plate of neatly sliced ​​cantaloupe.

She walked lightly to the dining table and placed the plates down one by one.

"Eat something before drinking."

She pulled out the chair next to Su Mu and sat down, resting her chin on her hand and looking at Brother Shu with a smile.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's so lively."

Brother Shu was in the middle of his rant when he blurted out a line of dialogue.

"Let's talk about getting the boss to mess with the previous idiot boss!"

"That bastard is a complete scoundrel!"

The third brother, Zhang Chi, echoed his sentiments, filled with righteous indignation.

"right!"

"This idiot boss makes the boss work overtime until midnight every day!"

"This is absolutely inhuman!"

"Even capitalists would weep upon hearing this!"

Liao Tianci waved his hand, his heroic spirit soaring to the heavens.

"That's fine!"

"I'll take care of it myself another day!"

"I'll go beg my great-grandmother..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Xia Qingwu picked up her chopsticks, took a slice of braised beef, and put it into Su Mu's bowl.

His tone was flat and monotonous.

"I'm the boss."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Silence reigned.

Brother Shu's hand, holding the wine glass, froze in mid-air.

Zhang Chi forgot to chew the peanuts in his mouth.

Liao Tianci swallowed the rest of his sentence, almost biting his tongue in the process.

The three of them stared at each other, wide-eyed.

My head was buzzing.

What's going on?

Has he hooked up with a rich woman?

Was she kept by her former boss?

Liao Tianci was the first to react, his face full of confusion.

"That's not right."

"Isn't the boss of Muqing Games a fat guy?"

"And it's a man!"

"I met him once before when I went to discuss cooperation."

"That guy called Boss Yu."

Xia Qingwu ignored Liao Tianci's doubts.

She stretched out her slender arms and naturally wrapped them around Su Mu's neck.

I rested my head on his shoulder.

A pair of phoenix eyes swept over the three people opposite.

"Brother Su Mu."

Aren't you going to introduce me to them?

She just had to stand up.

She needs to make sure all of Su Mu's friends know who she is.

Who is Su Mu's rightful wife?

Those slovenly women don't even have the right to get close to Su Mu.

Su Mu got goosebumps all over from her calling him "brother".

This yandere is acting up again.

He sighed helplessly, looking at his three stunned brothers opposite him.

"Alright."

"Since we've come this far..."

"Let's get to know each other again."

Su Mu pointed to Xia Qingwu, who was leaning on his shoulder.

"Your new sister-in-law is indeed my former boss."

"But she's not that fat girl from Muqing Games."

"She is the president of Muqing Group."

"Xia Qingwu".

Clang.

Brother Shu dropped his wine glass on the table, spilling wine all over the floor.

Zhang Chi spat out the peanuts he was eating.

Liao Tianci sprang up from his chair, his knee hitting the table leg. He winced in pain but didn't bother to rub it.

His eyes widened as he pointed at Xia Qingwu, his fingers trembling.

"You...you are Xia Qingwu?"

"The richest woman in Jiangcheng?"

Liao Tianci was so excited that he became incoherent.

He owns a company, how could he not know about Muqing Group?

That's a behemoth in Jiangcheng's business world!

Xia Qingwu's name is practically a legend in Jiangcheng's business district.

Swift and decisive.

Decisive and ruthless.

In just over a decade, Muqing Group has reached an unparalleled height.

That was a top-tier big shot who was on par with his great-grandmother!

just now.

This legendary female CEO with a net worth of hundreds of billions is leaning on her brother's shoulder.

He even personally cut braised beef for them?

Liao Tianci pinched his thigh hard.

pain.

It hurts.

It's not a dream.
