"Mom, hurry up and pass me my breakfast. I'm going to be late," a young man said as he ran in and rushed towards the dining table in a hurry.
He stretched out his hand to take two egg rolls and two steamed buns and was about to leave.
"Ah Jun, look at you. You don't have any manners at all," Dongfang Mei said as she glared at her son.
She lovingly handed him a cup of fresh milk.
"You only leave after drinking a cup of milk. Egg rolls and steamed buns are not nutritious enough."
"Oh."
The young man, Ah Jun, hurriedly put down the steamed buns in his hand and took the glass of milk. Just as he was about to drink it, he saw Mu Ru. He was slightly stunned, but he managed to smile at her.
"You're my new sister-in-law, right? What's wrong with your face?" he asked Mu Ru.
Mu Ru was still holding the porridge spoon in her hand. She lowered her head and did not make a sound. Dongfang Mei, on the other hand, took over the conversation.
She said, "Mu Ru, this is Ah Jun, my child. His full name is Dongfang Jun. He is the youngest among us. You can call him Third Brother."
Mu Ru did not understand why Dongfang Mei's child bore the surname Dongfang, nor did she understand why she had a child. She thought that Dongfang Mei had never been married.
Although she was very confused, she remembered what Dongfang Mo had just said to her. She should not be curious about things that she should not know, so she immediately suppressed her curiosity.
Mu Ru smiled and looked at the handsome, sunny Dongfang Jun.
She nodded and said, "So you're Third Brother. I'm also a freshman. My name is Xi Muru."
"Wow. You're Xi Muru? The city scholar?" Dongfang Jun asked.
Dongfang Jun spoke excitedly, but he was looking at Mu Ru with confusion.
"Are you really Xi Muru? Isn't my sister-in-law Xi Muxue?"
Mu Ru bit the corner of her lips. Before she could say anything, Dongfang Mei, who was beside her, pulled Dongfang Jun's hand and softly reprimanded him.
"Ah Jun, you're talking to your sister-in-law. Don't be rude. Remember to call her Sister-in-Law in the future," Dongfang Mei said to Dongfang Jun.
"But—"
Dongfang Jun looked at Dongfang Mei and frowned.
He continued to ask, "Mom, didn't you say yesterday that my brother married Xi Muxue?"
"Xi Muxue and I are twin sisters," Mu Ru answered.
Mu Ru stood up to explain that she was going as well. Dongfang Jun seemed to be waiting for what she had to say.
"Are you going to school now?" Mu Ru asked him.
"Yes, I have to hurry. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be late," Dongfang Jun answered.
Dongfang Jun nodded as he answered.
He was confused, but he asked, "Sister-in-Law, you mean—"
Mu Ru cut him short. "Wait for me. I'll go with you."
Mu Ru turned around and was about to go upstairs.
"Sister-in-Law, where are you going?" Dongfang Yu asked.
Dongfang Yu just happened to come down from upstairs. He had an elegant smile on his face and was wearing a casual white suit. He looked handsome and elegant, like a prince.
"To school," Mu Ru answered casually.
Mu Ru was not in a very good mood. She remembered how Dongfang Yu spoke to her at the wedding when he found out she was not Mu Xue. She remembered the rough and deceitful way he treated her. She still felt very uncomfortable about it.
"Going to school?" Dongfang Yu asked in surprise.
He could not help but laugh out loud when Mu Ru answered him.
He approached Mu Ru and warned her in a low voice. "Sister-in-Law, don't blame me for not reminding you. Big Brother is not as patient as I am. You married him only yesterday, but you want to go to school today. Did you even tell him? Did he agree to it?"
