Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 165: What Gave You the Confidence to Cause Me Trouble?

“You… You…” Sister Lan looked at the broken door and then at Mu Jingzhe, feeling completely stunned.

“What about me? I told you I could open it.” Mu Jingzhe sized Sister Lan up. “It’s all you. I was wondering who you were. You’re a waitress, so how could you do something like this?”

Panic appeared in Sister Lan’s eyes. “You… You’re a monster.”

“What gave you the confidence to cause me trouble?” Mu Jingzhe grabbed Sister Lan’s neck from behind. “Let’s go. We’ll meet your boss together. I don’t mind you talking tough in front of me, but I mind you being unprofessional and using your position to take revenge.”

An ordinary person would be at a disadvantage.

“Let go of me.” Sister Lan was finally afraid, but how could she escape from Mu Jingzhe’s hand? She was quickly pushed outside.

Ji Buwang, Mu Han, and Shao Nan had noticed that she had not returned and had come looking for her. They saw her immediately. “Sister, what’s wrong?”

“This girl locked me in the bathroom and wouldn’t let me out. I tore down the door, but I’m not going to pay for it. I plan to make her take responsibility for this. I was just about to look for the person in charge of this restaurant.”

Ji Buwang’s eyes darkened as he looked at Sister Lan. “What gave you the guts to do that?”

Sister Lan broke down when she saw Ji Buwang’s cold expression. “Ji Buwang, how could you do this to me? I waited for you for four years. I waited here for you for four years.”

Ji Buwang: “???”

He instantly felt many gazes on him, especially those of Mu Han and Shao Nan, which were filled with infinite coldness.

Ji Buwang quickly explained, “No, don’t get the wrong idea. It’s not what you think. You… I remember you. There’s nothing between us. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Upon hearing Sister Lan’s words, Ji Buwang finally remembered this person.

He had originally thought that it would be safer to eat in his own restaurant, but now, he had been slapped in the face. He wanted to explain, but Mu Han had already pulled Mu Jingzhe away.

“Mr. Ji, you handle these matters yourself. My sister and I will leave first. Don’t worry; I’ll take them back.”

Mu Han hadn’t expected such a thing to happen. His attitude toward Ji Buwang instantly changed.

His sister had already gotten married once and ended up being a widow. It was already easy for people to criticize her to begin with. Besides, now, he was a scavenger. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with working in this industry, but there were many people who despised him for picking up rubbish.

In the future, he only wanted to work hard to earn money and support his sister. Since his sister was also capable herself, why did she have to find a rich husband? Men were too much trouble, so it would be better for her to be free.

Ji Buwang watched helplessly as Mu Han pulled Mu Jingzhe away. When he looked at Sister Lan again, his gaze had changed and become extremely icy.

Meanwhile, Shao Qihai waited and waited until the flowers wilted. Just as he started suspecting that Mu Jingzhe and Shao Nan wouldn’t be returning, they finally got back.

When they got out of the car, both mother and son were holding something in their hands. Ji Buwang was also holding something. The blissful look of the family of three deeply hurt Shao Qihai, who was peeking out of the window.

Not only that, but Ji Buwang actually followed them up.

Shao Qihai felt wretched. Why was he following them upstairs? Could he even want to stick around and sleep with them? Many bloody, violent scenes flashed through Shao Qihai’s mind as he leaned against the door to listen for any movements.

“Sis, if there’s anything else, you can look for me again. I’ll head back first today.”

“Okay. Be safe.”

Shao Qihai froze in surprise. Sis?

Thinking carefully about the figure he had seen just now, Shao Qihai finally realized that the person who had followed them back wasn’t Ji Buwang, but Mu Han.

Shao Qihai had also heard about Mu Han. However, Mu Han had changed too much in the past year, and it was a little dark downstairs. He had been too agitated just now and had misjudged the situation.

Shao Qihai heaved a sigh of relief and silently praised his brother-in-law in his heart as he listened to him leave.

By eavesdropping, Shao Qihai realized that the thing Mu Jingzhe and the others were holding was candied hawthorn.

Shao Qihai listened as the mother and son entered the room, then leaned against the window and listened again for a moment. In the end, he couldn’t hold back and went downstairs to buy a stick of candied hawthorn himself.

He wanted to pretend they were having candied hawthorn together.

Shao Qihai took a bite. The first bite was sweet, but as he chewed, his expression froze.

The hawthorn was so sour that he felt like his teeth were going to fall out.

In the meantime, Ji Buwang was swift and decisive. He fired Sister Lan without any hesitation. “Now that I saw you treat a customer that way, I believe we can’t afford to have a manager like you.”

Sister Lan was heartbroken. “You’re going to treat me like this just because of her? I waited for you for four years…”

Ji Buwang was speechless. He remembered Sister Lan a little. Before the incident, he had been able to tell that she seemed to have that kind of intention, so he’d wanted to stay away from her. He hadn’t expected that something would happen later.

He hadn’t expected her to create such a mess. After returning home, he couldn’t help but ask Old Master Ji if anyone had wanted to marry him while he had been unconscious.

Old Master Ji nodded. “Yes, but I didn’t let any of them.”

Perhaps some people might think that his grandfather should be very grateful that a girl had been willing to marry Ji Buwang while he was unconscious. However, that wasn’t the case.

He hadn’t acted foolishly. Regardless of whether the girls were sincere or not, he’d rejected all of them. Firstly, Ji Buwang might not necessarily be willing. What if he woke up with a wife he didn’t like? Secondly, to put it bluntly, considering the benefits that one could reap by marrying into the Ji Family, some people would never be able to earn that amount of money in their entire lifetime.

He wasn’t old and muddle-headed.

Ji Buwang hadn’t expected it to be true and found it ridiculous.

The next day, Ji Buwang wanted to look for Mu Jingzhe and Shao Nan, but he was stopped by someone the moment he stepped out. It was none other than Sister Lan.

After Mu Jingzhe and Shao Nan got up, they went shopping.

“Mommy, I’ll buy you a woolen sweater and a coat. When you wear it, you’ll be like the girls in the capital.”

The last time they had gone to Ocean City, Little Bei had bought her a dress to dress her up like a lady of Ocean City. Now, Shao Nan had said that he wanted to help her transform into a lady of the capital.

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but reflect on herself. Was she sponging off her kids? This child was still very young, yet he was already buying her things.

“Little Nan, save the money for yourself. I’ll shop by myself.” Mu Jingzhe, who was deeply reflecting on herself, discussed this with Shao Nan.

Shao Nan refused. “Why don’t you want me to buy stuff for you? Little Bei and my older brothers can buy you things, but I can’t? Mommy, do you feel that I’m not able to make a lot of money? I’ll make a lot of money in the future.”

“No, that’s not what I meant. I just think you kids are still young. As an adult, it’s not a good idea for me to keep accepting gifts from you.”

“What’s wrong with that? In any case, you have to accept it. Otherwise, I’ll be angry.” Shao Nan wasn’t joking. The reason he worked hard to earn money was because he didn’t want to be a burden. Also, he wanted to buy things for his mother, maternal grandparents, and siblings.

If she didn’t let him buy these things, he would really get angry.

“Alright then, but you can only buy two things. Any more than that and I won’t accept them.”

“Alright then. Mommy, you can pick what you want.”

“Mm.”

This big city was indeed different. According to a wise old saying, fashion trends were repeated every few decades. When she looked at these coats and woolen shirts, she felt that they were quite vintage and fashionable.

When Mu Jingzhe put on the woolen coat, it felt a bit like she had gone back to the modern age.
