"Get out of the car!" Dongfang Yu said angrily.
He clearly didn't want to hear what else Mu Ru had to say. He walked around the front of the car and opened the car door to let her out.
"Sister-in-Law, can you please hurry up?"
Mu Ru could only obediently get out of the car. It was an international shopping mall. She had never been to such a high-end place before. She was so intimidated by the sight of all the expensive-looking and luxurious shops that she couldn't move.
"Hurry up. Go in and choose something. I'll pay for it. Stop acting so coy about it," Dongfang Yu said.
Dongfang Yu was very unhappy with her dilly-dallying. He reached out and pulled her wrist. He dragged her towards a high-end bag boutique.
When they entered, the shop assistant had a fawning smile on her face. She nodded and bowed as she asked Mu Ru what style she liked. The assistant strongly recommended the new model that had just been released that year.
Mu Ru was actually dazzled by all the bags around her. Everything looked so luxurious. She felt quite uncomfortable that those were products she could never afford. Dongfang Yu could only make the decision himself and chose a new design for her. He had chosen the design that had just been released that year. It cost him more than thirty thousand yuan.
Mu Ru had already fallen in love with Dongfang Mo. When she saw Dongfang Yu taking out his card to pay for the bag, she could not help but worry. Her heart ached. She remembered what Dongfang Jun said about Dongfang Yu spending his money on eating, drinking, and partying. As she thought about it, heart hurt even more for Dongfang Mo.
The Dongfang family relied on Dongfang Mo to support them, and Dongfang Yu was squandering away Dongfang Mo's hard-earned money. She knew it wasn't easy to earn money, and she sympathized with Dongfang Mo.
When they returned to the car, she composed herself and her thoughts. She wanted to say it out loud.
She turned to Dongfang Yu and said, "Don't buy such expensive things in the future. It's not easy for your brother to earn money. You spend a lot of money on eating, drinking, and having fun all day, and now you're buying me a bag and even spent so much money on it. The family's wealth won't last long if you don't manage your finances well."
Dongfang Yu was slightly stunned by what she said. Then, a meaningful smile appeared on his face. He could not help but tease her.
He grinned and said, "Sister-in-Law, you really feel sorry for my brother, huh?"
"He's my husband. I want to live with him for the rest of my life. If I don't feel sorry for him, then who will?" Mu Ru answered.
Mu Ru's expression was very calm, and there was no hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.
She had already learned to accept her fate. Since destiny has decided that she would be married to Dongfang Mo and be his wife, she felt it was her responsibility to look after his best interests.
Dongfang Yu looked at her meaningfully. He did not say another word and just focused on driving. Fortunately, he was a skilled driver and traffic flow wasn't very heavy on that day. It was noon when they arrived at the Xi family home.
It was Saturday, so Xi Muxue did not have to go to school. She was dressed beautifully and was about to go out when she saw Dongfang Yu drive in. She was stunned for a moment, but she happily welcomed him.
"Aiya, sister is back," she exclaimed.
Xi Muxue saw that Mu Ru was wearing designer clothes and holding a designer bag in her hand. She immediately knew that she must have passed the test the previous night, so she secretly sighed in relief. She held Mu Ru's hand affectionately and called out to her parents.
"Dad, Mom, Sister is back," she said.
"Mu Ru, you're back?" Du Xinyue asked as she went out to welcome Mu Ru.
Du Xinyue's heart ached as she pulled Mu Ru's hand.
"Mu Ru, it's been hard on you."
Mu Ru stood there awkwardly. Although she knew her mother had said those words out of guilt, she was still moved because she rarely heard her mother speak to her like that.
