I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 392: Being a scumbag by order! Confessions from both families!

Fireworks soar into the sky, another year begins.

The room was filled with the aroma of food. Xu's mother and Liu Rushuang were chatting and laughing as they prepared the New Year's Eve dinner.

Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue were setting off fireworks in the yard.

In the villa yard, balls of fireworks rose into the sky, blooming into brilliant shapes in the air.

The sound of firecrackers gives us the feeling of Chinese New Year.

The two of them looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky without saying much. For them, this was the day they had spent together every year since they were young.

The smell of sulfur and gunpowder in the air made Yao Mingyue cough.

Xu Musen glanced sideways at Yao Mingyue's delicate profile, which was occasionally illuminated by the fireworks. It was so white that it even seemed a little unnatural.

But her eyes were beautiful, the blooming fireworks were reflected in the depths of her eyes, and those phoenix eyes seemed to really slowly bloom with brilliant flames.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Yao Mingyue calmed her breathing, but her gray-haired face showed a proud look at the moment, as if she was trying to cover up her physical weakness.

Xu Musen didn't look away, and smiled: "You look good, but can't people look at you?"

Of course I like to hear good words, especially good words from him.

Although she had heard it countless times, Yao Mingyue still smiled sweetly.

She raised her beautiful face, allowing Xu Musen to see half of her slender, snow-white neck clearly.

"I, a beautiful lady, will be merciful and let you look at me for a few more times. After tonight, some people won't be able to look at other beauties so openly."

"I can watch it if I want."

Xu Musen stretched out his hand, and just like the mischievous gesture he made when they were at the airport, he stretched out his hand and gently placed it on her smooth neck along her collar.

Xu Musen's hands are always warm and a little rough like a boy's, but they always give Yao Mingyue the sense of security that she needs most.

"Let go..."

Just being "grabbed" by the neck like this still made Yao Mingyue feel a little itchy, and this action is okay for girls to do.

When boys do this, it's like they're trying to touch a girl's breasts.

Xu Musen loosened his hand a little, but gently scratched her chin as if teasing a cat. The girl's skin was white and smooth, with a touch that even a cat could not give her.

The tingling sensation made Yao Mingyue hum in the second half of her words, and her whole body couldn't help shaking.
It's like a pet cat begging for a pat.

"So cute."

Xu Musen laughed.

"Are you sick!"

Yao Mingyue's cheeks turned red. This guy actually dared to tease her like this. Did he think he was some cute white rabbit like An Nuannuan who pretended to be cute in front of him every day?

"Not honest at all. If it were Nuannuan, she would definitely be squinting her eyes and enjoying it." Xu Musen pinched her face. Yao Mingyue's cheeks were more delicate, while An Nuannuan's were soft.

"Then go find her! This beauty just doesn't understand romance, ugh!"

Yao Mingyue got angry and opened her mouth and stuck out her pink tongue to spit at him, but Xu Musen found the right opportunity and flicked her little tongue with his finger.

"You... just fired a shot without washing your hands. Xu Musen, you are so annoying!"

"Hahaha…"

Chasing and beating, she chasing and he running away, seems to be a must-do activity every year for this pair of childhood sweethearts.

Of course, it is impossible for Yao Mingyue to catch up with Xu Musen in terms of physical fitness, but every year Yao Mingyue always manages to catch up with Xu Musen and beat him up.

"Cough cough..."

But this year, Yao Mingyue's pace in catching up with him was even slower, and the cold air made her cough after every few steps.

Xu Musen would also stop on his own initiative and did not try to comfort her, as if he did not notice, waiting for Yao Mingyue to slowly come over, and then punch him as he wished.

Liu Rushuang appeared at the door and looked at the two people in the yard. She really seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago. Her expression was complicated.

It would be great if it could always be like this...

Unfortunately, after tomorrow, all this might really change.

Liu Rushuang was happy that Xu Musen found a girl suitable for him, but she was also sad for her daughter.

Even she has moments when she feels powerless.

It all depends on themselves.

She sighed silently, and the breath quickly dissipated in the cold night. Finally, she shook her head and smiled, then shouted to the two people in the yard.

"It's time to eat."

New Year's Eve dinner.

They toasted each other. Liu Rushuang brought a few bottles of red wine, and Xu's mother also drank a lot with them, which was a rare occasion.

"It's great to be back here again. We haven't had New Year's Eve dinner here together for many years. This table is from the past. Look, there are still traces of the fork that Xiao Sen used to poke on it..."

Mother Xu couldn't help but speak. In this familiar villa, they seemed to have finally returned to their previous life.

"Yes, I've been thinking about it for a long time. Finally, we can come back here to celebrate the New Year together. The children have grown up in the blink of an eye."

Liu Rushuang sighed, but the person on her left would never come back, and there was inevitably sadness in her tone.

Both Xu's father and mother looked at the empty seat and sighed in silence.

If it weren't for that incident, their two families would definitely be better off than they are now.

Yao Mingyue bit her lips slightly. Looking at her mother's sad expression, a sour luster appeared in the corners of her eyes.

Xu Musen took out a tissue and handed it to her, and Yao Mingyue handed it to her mother.

"Look at me... I'm still talking about this on New Year's Day. I'm really getting old. I can't help but talk about the past when I drink a little."

Liu Rushuang took the tissue, wiped her eyes and smiled, looking at her daughter and Xu Musen, feeling sad but also relieved: "But if Lao Yao could see the children grow up, he would definitely be very happy. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Sen is going to get engaged and marry."

Liu Rushuang looked at Xu Musen and smiled: "The little brat in my memory has now grown into an adult who can stand on his own feet. Come, have another drink with me. I wish you success tomorrow in advance!"

Liu Rushuang picked up the red wine glass, her eyes were still a little moist and the wine dyed half of her cheeks red.

"Mom, please drink less..."

Xu Musen raised his glass, looked at Liu Rushuang who was already a little drunk, and tried to persuade her in a gentle voice.

But Liu Rushuang had already raised her glass and drank it all, and her face looked even more drunk.

"How can wedding wine be drunk separately? One sip of wine for each wife. How many more sips do you want to drink?"

Liu Rushuang shook the empty wine glass and smiled at Xu Musen with narrowed eyes.

Yao Mingyue looked at the wine glass and then looked at Xu Musen.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu also pondered over this sentence silently and looked at their son.

Xu Musen coughed dryly.

"Alas, Xiao Sen is getting engaged, and we don't know what to do with Xiao Ming Yue. She has been spoiled by Xiao Sen since she was a child. I don't know if other boys will be able to stand her temper in the future."

Liu Rushuang turned her conversation to her daughter.

Yao Mingyue's cheeks flushed. Why did her mother speak so strangely today? "Mom, you drank too much, and... I'm not as bad-tempered as you say!"

"Look, my baby is also very stubborn. Sometimes, even though he likes you very much in his heart, he still doesn't forgive you..."

As Liu Rushuang spoke, she reached out and patted Xu Musen on the shoulder.

"It's all because of you, Xiao Sen, who spoils her. If Ming Yue can't get married in the future, it's all your fault. You have to take responsibility, don't you understand?"

“Mom…you’re really drunk.

Yao Mingyue stood up and wanted to interrupt her mother. This was the first time she saw her mother like this.

Liu Rushuang's words made the atmosphere at the table even more awkward. Xu's father and mother looked at Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue with complicated eyes, not knowing how to respond.

"Mom, don't worry." Xu Musen's voice rang out at the silent dining table, and Yao Mingyue paused in her action of trying to stop her mother from speaking.

Xu's mother and father were also looking at their son.

Liu Rushuang's drunken eyes were now somewhat sober as she looked up at Xu Musen.

Xu Musen looked at Yao Mingyue. He reached out and gently held her wrist. "I am willing to spoil Mingyue. She will not be unable to get married. Even if she is really spoiled, I, as her childhood sweetheart, will be responsible."

Yao Mingyue didn't drink any alcohol, but her cheeks were even more drunk than Liu Rushuang's, and her hand, which was held by Xu Musen, was trembling a little.

Does this guy know what he is talking about?

He is getting engaged tomorrow, and this may be the last New Year's Eve reunion dinner for their two families.

Obviously, all I need to do is go through it happily.

She didn't want to plant a hidden danger that might tear the two families apart in the future because of her uncertainty...

She tried to break free, but Xu Musen held her hand even tighter.

The corners of Xu's mother's mouth twitched, and she wanted to say something, but looking at the empty seat next to Liu Rushuang, she didn't say a word.

Father Xu, who had been silent all this time, was stunned for a long time. Finally, he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Liu Rushuang: "Yes, they are all our children. Mingyue is also my half-new daughter. What's the point of spoiling her? We are willing to spoil this girl for the rest of our lives. We will always be a family. There will always be a place for you in this family!"

It was as if Mr. Xu's words had been officially certified.

Yao Mingyue looked up at Xu's mother, who had a serious and warm smile on her face. She sniffed lightly, without any other factors.

But this feeling has long surpassed the warmth of blood ties.

Liu Rushuang's eyes were red. She had deliberately gotten drunk today because she saw her daughter forcing herself to smile every day. She was clearly already feeling very sad but still pretended to be calm and congratulated her favorite person on his engagement with another girl...

But what about herself, this silly daughter, is the one whose body is the most vulnerable to strong pressure.

She knew that there was no right or wrong in this matter, but Yao Mingyue was her only relative in this world.

She couldn't change anything, but at least, she wanted to take advantage of this day to hear the recognition and promise from Xu Musen's parents in person.

Tears welled up in Liu Rushuang's eyes.

"Okay... I'm relieved now. Brother Xu, Sister Jie, Xiao Sen, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Mingyue in the future. I... thank you on behalf of our Lao Yao."

As Liu Rushuang spoke, she staggered to raise her red wine glass again.

"Mom, it's time for you to rest."

Yao Mingyue took down the wine glass and sat next to her mother to help her wipe the corners of her eyes.

Liu Rushuang gently held her daughter in her arms: "Xiao Mingyue...I'm fine..."

Her drunken murmurs sounded like the lullaby she used to sing to put Yao Mingyue to sleep when she was a child.

But the one who was sleeping at this moment was her.

For so many years, a widowed woman has been supporting such a large enterprise alone, and the pressure she has to bear is no less than anyone else. After being suppressed for so long, it seems that she can finally let go of the burden for a short time.

Xu's father and mother also felt bitter, but they both had the answer in their hearts...

The fireworks take off into the sky, brilliant and colorful.

New Year’s wishes will definitely come true.

Liu Rushuang was drunk, so he arranged a room for her to rest at home.

Xu Musen accompanied Yao Mingyue to her home to get pajamas for the mother and daughter.

When I went out, I could hear the sound of firecrackers outside and the flashing lights could illuminate the road even without street lights.

The cold wind outside the door made people's thoughts clear up a lot in an instant.

Yao Mingyue paused slightly and wiped her red eyes.

"My mom...she drank too much today. Don't take her words seriously."

"When she's drunk, that's what she really wants to say. With such a strong personality, she has to rely on alcohol to say it. She must have wanted to seek justice for her only precious daughter."

Xu Musen shook his head and chuckled, looking at Yao Mingyue.

"What justice are you seeking?"

"Of course it's because I, a scumbag, kept pestering her and refused to give her a fair name."

Xu Musen pointed at himself.

"So you knew that too, you damn scum." Yao Mingyue couldn't help but smile despite her red eyes. She took a breath and kicked him with her foot.

"But I don't need any status. If you want to pester me, I'll pester you. If you want to dump me, I'll dump you first..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Musen flicked her forehead lightly: "You, what mom said is absolutely right. You clearly don't think that way in your heart, but you say one thing and mean another. You are such a tsundere."

Yao Mingyue bit her lip lightly: "It's already now, what's the point of saying one thing and thinking another? Anyway, you're going to see your Nuannuan tomorrow."

Xu Musen looked at her depressed expression, then he raised his head and looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky.

"You heard what my parents said just now. This is not a decision made by me alone. They don't want to see such juicy cabbages that they watched grow slip away from their hands. It would be better to leave them to their own pigs."

Xu Musen smiled, lowered his head, and gently stroked her cool face, his eyes were particularly serious: "And your mother also agreed to hand you over to me. I am now a scumbag according to the imperial decree of my parents. You have to consider me. You can't let me be labeled as an unfilial person, right?"

"you…"

Yao Mingyue's eyes widened, and her already sour mood was ruined by his behavior.

How can this person be so unreasonable?

What else…being a scumbag by order?

He is obviously a scumbag, yet he speaks so righteously.

Is there anyone more shameless than him?
But of course Yao Mingyue also remembered what Xu's father had said just now, and she knew that it was not what they called politeness.

It is true acceptance from the bottom of your heart.

It is no longer just the perspective of a daughter-in-law or a daughter, but a real relative, the deepest bond that cannot be changed by anything.

Of course she understood that her mother drank and lost control for the first time today just to wait for this sentence.

After all, they have been a family for a long time.

A wave of warmth surged in Yao Mingyue's chest, venting throughout her body, and finally dripping warmly from the corners of her eyes.

"Okay, you're crying now. If you really marry me in the future, you will faint from joy."

Xu Musen smiled and reached out to wipe her tears.

Seeing his shameless look, Yao Mingyue reached out and held his cheeks, and poked his nose with her fingers to make it into the shape of a pig's nose.

"You're a pig! This cabbage... Bah! This beauty doesn't want you to rub against her. At most... I'll give you some cabbage leaves to eat."

"Hooho~"

Xu Musen imitated the squeal of a pig and the tone of Zhu Bajie, then turned around and squatted down: "My dear, let me, the old pig, carry you home to the bridal chamber~"

"puff…"

Yao Mingyue looked at him and couldn't help laughing. The tears in the corners of her eyes were reflected brightly under the fireworks.

She gently lay on Xu Musen's broad and warm back, stretched out her arms and gently hugged his neck.

"Hold on tight, let's go!"

Xu Musen stood up slowly, feeling the familiar touch and fragrance behind him. He stood up and it was only a few meters away from the door, but he walked for a long time unsteadily.

Being carried on someone's back is probably the safest thing for a girl.

My father carried me on his back since I was a child, and later he started to carry me on his back, and he did so for the rest of my life.

No, two lifetimes is enough...

Here it comes, it will take up a little time, and I will add the second chapter tomorrow, with the turning point and ending.
