Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: The Wedding Arrives as Scheduled Part 1 (2)

“Hmph… What more do you want from me? I’m Mrs. Wu, after all, lowering myself to apologize to someone like her is already degrading my status…”

Mu Wan: “…”

Mu Wan’s eyes turned cold. She stared at Wu Jingjing for a moment before decisively raising her hand and delivering a sharp, resounding slap to the woman’s face.

With a loud “smack”… the sound echoed powerfully.

Mu Qingqiu, Wang Xue, and Wu Jingjing were all visibly stunned.

Mu Wan, however, calmly said, “I’m sorry…”

“You, you, you…”

Wu Jingjing had never experienced such humiliation in her life. Getting slapped directly like that, she raised her hand in rage to point at Mu Wan, but before she could retaliate, Mu Wan raised her hand again and delivered another forceful slap to Wu Jingjing’s face.

“Hmm… I’m sorry…”

Mu Wan pressed her lips together, mimicking Wang Xue’s earlier tone as she said flatly, “Hmm, this time, it was my fault… I’m sorry… I, as the Qin Family’s young mistress, lowering myself to apologize to someone like you is already giving you face. What? Not satisfied?”

Wang Xue: “…”

Wu Jingjing: “…”

Wang Xue and Wu Jingjing hadn’t expected Mu Wan to repeat their words verbatim, reenacting the situation so perfectly.

For a moment… they were speechless.

They didn’t know what to say.

Mu Wan glanced coldly toward the direction of the door and said icily, “What now… still not leaving? Planning to get slapped a few more times?”

Wu Jingjing: “…”

Upon hearing Mu Wan’s words, Wu Jingjing’s face turned pale. The two consecutive slaps had already reddened her cheeks, and she glared at the woman in front of her with hatred filling her heart.

In her mind, Wu Jingjing vowed never to forgive her.

Mu Wan, just you wait.

“Mom, let’s go…”

“Hmph… You better wait and see…”

Mu Wan: “…”

…

Mu Wan watched as the pair reluctantly, grumbling and cursing, finally left. She clenched her small fists, supported Mu Qingqiu, and helped her sit down on the chair before quickly closing the door.

“Mom, your face is very swollen. I’ll go find some ice to help reduce the swelling.”

Mu Qingqiu: “…”

Mu Qingqiu looked at the busy Mu Wan, then reached out and held her wrist.

Having been slapped and fallen to the ground earlier, Mu Qingqiu had sustained some bruises. Her complexion was not good, her face pale and looking unwell.

“Xiaowan, Mom has something to say to you.”

Mu Wan: “…”

What had to come would inevitably come.

Mu Wan slowly knelt down before Mu Qingqiu and said softly, “Mom… I’m sorry, it’s all my fault today. I caused them to come trouble us again… and also, I was wrong for not telling you about such a major event as my marriage beforehand… I’m sorry, all the blame is on me… Today should have been a happy day for us to share a meal together; instead, it turned into this mess.”

Mu Wan kept blaming herself, not daring to raise her head to look at Mu Qingqiu.

Just moments ago, she was like a bristling little porcupine. Now, in front of Mu Qingqiu, she had turned back into a child admitting to her mistakes.

Mu Qingqiu: “…”

Mu Qingqiu looked at her daughter, who was clearly delicate yet had put on a brave front against those two women earlier to protect her. Her lips tightened before she asked, “Tell me… Do you love him?”

Mu Wan: “…”

Mu Wan clenched her small fists. Love him or not…

Mu Wan forced a faint smile onto her lips.

“Mom, if I said… I love him, would you believe me?”

“Of course… Because I believe that my daughter isn’t someone who chases vanity, nor someone who would compromise herself for a so-called commercial marriage. So… if you chose to marry him, it must be because you love him.”
