Chapter 32 pushes Chu Junbai to his admirer
It wasn't that she was afraid of people knowing she knew these things; she was afraid of being suspected.
She was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world before; she had never even seen a tape recorder, let alone repaired one, and with all these tools, she probably didn't recognize the people in front of her.
What if these people find out that she not only knows how to do it but is also very skilled at it, and they mistake her for a spy?
Mu Xiaowan looked at Chu Shaoqing with a somewhat nervous expression.
"Shaoqing, don't run around outside all day. Don't you know how to help Mom at home?" Chu Shaoze said, showing his usual disdain for Chu Shaoqing.
In Chu Shaoze's eyes, Chu Shaoqing was a hopeless case.
He didn't even want to mention his younger brother in public, because he felt ashamed.
"I'm useless, what help would I be? You didn't go to work today, you're so filial, why don't you help?" Chu Shaoqing snorted coldly, he was equally indifferent to this older brother.
"You're in your twenties and haven't made any progress at all. Look at you, still carrying a girl's bag. What kind of behavior is that!"
Yesterday, Mu Xiaowan bought a large canvas bag on the street to carry her things and to avoid being noticed. The bottom corner of the bag was embroidered with flowers and plants.
Seeing Chu Shaoqing being scolded by his brother in front of so many people, without even basic respect shown to him, it's no wonder Chu Shaoqing dislikes his brother.
Such a kind-hearted child, how could someone as sinister as Chu Shaoze have the right to criticize him?
"That bag is mine. I asked Shaoqing to pick it up for me."
When Chu Shaoze saw that it was Mu Xiaowan, he was very disdainful and didn't even want to say a word to her, as if saying a word would insult him and lower his status.
He glanced at Chu Junbai, ignored Mu Xiaowan, and then invited An Muxue to sit inside.
Mu Xiaowan didn't care. Since there was no conflict of interest, what others thought of her was none of her business.
An Muxue didn't rush to leave, but smiled at Mu Xiaowan in a friendly manner, "If Xiaowan comes along, we can have a chat."
Mu Xiaowan understood that An Muxue was pretending to be virtuous and gentle in front of Chu Junbai.
But she really didn't have time to chat.
She looked at Chu Shaoqing, who immediately understood, "I have something to discuss with my sister-in-law."
"Then I'm sorry, let Junbai keep you company while you chat."
Mu Xiaowan was worried that Chu Junbai would still follow her, so she might as well just hand him over to An Muxue. Anyway, An Muxue would definitely be happy, and this way she could also help him keep Chu Junbai by his side. As long as Chu Junbai was there, Chu Shaoze would definitely not leave An Muxue's side.
In the past two days, she has come to see through the feelings between the group.
Chu Junbai stared at Mu Xiaowan with his dark eyes, his gaze filled with a hint of inquiry.
Mu Xiaowan knew perfectly well that An Muxue liked him, yet she still so generously pushed him away.
The contract clearly stated that they would fulfill their respective roles and responsibilities in public.
Is this something a wife should do for her husband?
Although it's a contract, I feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
Mu Xiaowan didn't have time to think about all that.
She followed Chu Shaoqing upstairs quickly.
"I asked you to retrieve these things because they're not safe with me. You're the only person I trust in the Chu family, and only you can help me."
"Sister-in-law, thank you for earlier!"
His eldest brother always criticizes him, and his second brother usually protects him when he's around. He never expected that this time it would be his sister-in-law, whom everyone looks down on, who would protect him.
"I didn't help you with anything."
"I think there's something wrong with your older brother's eyes. You're clearly so outstanding."
"Sister-in-law!" Chu Shaoqing was somewhat moved.
Mu Xiaowan said, "Calling me sister-in-law won't help. You have to prove those who don't believe in you wrong with your own abilities."
"There's another reason I asked you to fetch these tools. Help me fix Zhihui's tape recorder. As you can see, my right hand is injured, so don't expect me to do these delicate tasks."
“You saw how I did it last time. These two tape recorders are exactly the same, and the parts that need to be replaced inside should be similar. I’ll guide you from the side, and this time you’ll be in charge.”
Chu Shaoqing said in surprise, "Sister-in-law, I don't know how. I don't have the talent, and I've never learned it. What if I break it and we have to spend money to buy parts?"
“I’m not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Since you’re going to work for me from now on, you need to learn a skill. I don’t need anyone to mind the shop.”
Mu Xiaowan's firm tone gave Chu Shaoqing immense courage.
It feels good to be recognized.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Chu Shaoqing's words were tinged with excitement.
"First, if you want to learn how to repair something, you have to learn how to take it apart. You must concentrate and not be distracted. Take these parts apart first. Remember their positions during the disassembly process."
"Then, while disassembling, check to see where the problem is?"
"Can I start now?"
Mu Xiaowan wanted to hear those words from him.
She could only do it secretly if she could get this silly boy to focus.
"The food isn't ready yet, but you can start if you want."
Chu Shaoqing may seem carefree, but he's incredibly serious when it comes to getting things done.
When he was helping her yesterday, he wasn't distracted at all by the deafening music outside.
That's why he dared to tamper with things in front of Chu Shaoqing.
Chu Shaoqing was at the other end of the table.
Mu Xiaowan chose this end of the table.
She pulled her handbag to the middle to block the view, then quickly took out the necessary tools and disassembled the bag.
Luxury goods are different; the craftsmanship is exceptionally exquisite.
However, this thing also needs maintenance. She has to take it out periodically after inserting it, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is discovered.
Suddenly, another idea popped into her head.
She runs a general merchandise store with after-sales service. She can simply have Chu Shaoqing bring the lighter over, and she can do the maintenance for him. After the maintenance, she can put the listening device in, right?
I wonder what information Chu Junbai wants to get from Chu Shaoze.
I don't know exactly when?
What she did was somewhat illegal.
Mu Xiaowan is incredibly fast.
However, the price she paid was that her arm hurt a lot.
She glanced up at Chu Shaoqing, who was engrossed in his work and didn't even look up.
They probably won't notice.
After Mu Xiaowan finished, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I'm going to the washroom. You continue. I'll be back to check in a bit."
She then went outside and took a look from the ground floor.
Hearing An Muxue's captivating laughter, she quickly headed towards Chu Shaoze's room.
After putting the lighter down, she noticed her fingerprints on it and quickly picked it up and wiped them on her clothes.
He then quietly left the room and returned to Chu Shaoqing's room.
Mu Xiaowan had just sat down when she heard the doorknob turn. She saw Chu Junbai come in through the door and was startled, her face turning pale.
As soon as Chu Junbai entered the room, his gaze accurately landed on Mu Xiaowan, his eyes deep and intense.
Mu Xiaowan's heart soared.
Could he have seen it?
But when she came back just now, she glanced at the stairs, and there was no one there.
