Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Panda Novel

This marriage prospect was indeed quite good, but Mu Jingzhe didn't think of accepting it.

It would be too hasty to marry someone she had only met once.

She did not plan to get married for the time being. Her future career plans didn't involve selling bus tickets or driving.

Speaking of that, she felt ashamed. Previously, she had been focused on looking for Little Bei, but now that she thought about it, she had driven despite not having a driver's license. This behavior was really unacceptable.

"Mom, I don't want to get married yet."

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? You must marry this eligible man."

Li Zhaodi was beaming with joy. She raised her eyebrows and let out the pent-up frustration that she had been holding in for a long time. "Mom hasn't been sleeping well recently and has been worried about your marriage prospects. We can't miss this opportunity."

Back when Shao Qihai had died, as his mother-in-law, Li Zhaodi had been even more upset than his biological mother, Zhao Lan. She had cried for several days, upset that her daughter would have to remarry and fretting over her daughter's future.

"The young man's mother seems a little dissatisfied. I'll find an opportunity to secretly tell them that you're still a virgin. This way, you won't face any problems after you marry him."

"Mom, I really don't want to marry for the time being. Didn't we agree to make steamed buns together?"

"Marriage is more important. Don't be stubborn." Li Zhaodi thought for a while. "Do you feel that he's not as good as Tang Moling? Jingzhe, don't think that you'll be inferior to Mu Xue just because of this. You've already been married once, so do not compete with her anymore. This time, let's settle for this, alright?"

"It's not…"

Although Mu Jingzhe refused, she was still forced to go back by Li Zhaodi.

Mu Jingzhe was embarrassed, but the young man was very excited. Old Madam Mu's countenance became much better.

If both her granddaughters married well, it would reflect well on her too.

Very quickly, everyone in the village learned about this.

Apart from feeling shocked, many people couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. They felt that she had been truly blessed to get to marry someone so eligible despite being married once before.

Many people said that Mu Jingzhe had been treating the children well because she wanted to improve her reputation.

Zhao Lan and Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao saw this as an opportunity to clear their names and prove that they had been right.

The villagers believed that Mu Jingzhe would definitely agree to marry someone so eligible.

Zhao Lan and Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao felt the same way. They felt both happy and bitter, as they thought that Mu Jingzhe wasn't worthy.

After hearing that, they quickly expressed her opinion—Mu Jingzhe could get married, but she was still a member of the Shao Family. Thus, if she wanted to get married, she could forget about taking back the dowry she had brought with her.

The two of them had a good plan and soon came to camp at the old house.

Zhao Lan sneered when she saw Shao Dong and the others' grim expressions.

"What's with that bitter expression? Your stepmother is about to get married. Aren't you close to her? Hurry up and tell her that you can't bear to part with her. Maybe you can follow her over there.

"The guy who came to propose marriage comes from a well-to-do family. They are from the city. As long as they let you follow them, you will be able to live a good life."

Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao chuckled and pulled Zhao Lan back. "Mom, don't joke around. She might not necessarily bring them along even if they were her biological children."

While looking at Shao Dong and the others, she put on an act and sighed. "Why did you have to believe an outsider and go against your grandmother, who raised you? Tell me, if we didn't care about you and gave you away, what would you do?"

Zhao Lan interrupted her impatiently. "Why are you telling them so much? They're all ingrates. Even if they kneel and beg me, I won't care about them."

Shao Dong didn't say a word. He held back the fuming Shao Xi and tidied up before leaving the house.

"Look what you've been taught by Mu Jingzhe. You don't even greet your grandma. You just go out without a word…"

Zhao Lan's voice was soon lost, but her heart was getting heavier.

Little Bei lowered her head and looked at her shadow. When she thought about the fact that no one would hug her to sleep in the future and no one would cook for them, make clothes for them, or comb her hair, she felt sad.

"Brother, will Auntie really marry?" Her tone was filled with reluctance.

Shao Zhong abruptly raised his head and looked at Shao Dong upon hearing that.

Before Shao Dong could say anything, Shao Xi sneered, "What else could happen? Surely she won't refuse to marry and stay behind to take care of us? Little Bei, don't even think about it. She's been good to us because she wanted to give herself a good reputation. Look, isn't someone proposing to her now?"

Shao Nan's expression was ugly. "So much for observing. What is there to observe?"

He thought of something and looked at Shao Dong. "Big Brother, she betrayed us. Are we going to let her go just like that? I have a way to make her stay…"

Shao Dong took a deep breath. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

He kept a straight face, not revealing too much emotion. "She's only twenty. There's no way she won't marry. It's perfectly normal for her to choose to marry, so…"

He looked at his younger siblings seriously, especially Shao Nan and Shao Xi. "Don't resent her for it, and don't say such words. We have no right to stop her."

If even their biological grandmother and uncle treated them so badly, what right did they have to ask Mu Jingzhe, who was no blood relation of theirs, to stay?

Mu Jingzhe didn't know that the news had spread, nor did she know that a storm was brewing.

After the awkward meeting, Li Zhaodi and the rest naturally had no objections. However, in the end, Mu Jingzhe still resisted the risk of being strangled by Li Zhaodi and made her attitude clear.

Mu Jingzhe's refusal was unexpected. The matchmaker that had come along was very surprised.

She had thought that this trip would go completely smoothly.

Li Zhaodi squeezed out a smile and sent them away. She implied that she would persuade Mu Jingzhe.

After she sent them off, Li Zhaodi's expression changed.

Mu Jingzhe was quick-witted and used this opportunity to escape, but in the end, she still ended up getting caught by Li Zhaodi.

"Mu Jingzhe, what's wrong with you!?"

"Mom, I've only met him twice. How can I marry him? I really don't want to get married."

Li Zhaodi didn't know what to do with Mu Jingzhe. She thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Mu Jingzhe, tell me honestly. Have you fallen for Tang Moling?"

Mu Jingzhe was shocked. "Mom, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

Mu Xue had to attend class, so Tang Moling, who had just returned from school, stopped in his tracks when he heard his name.

Was Mu Jingzhe rejecting the proposal because of him?

Tang Moling couldn't help but let out a laugh. His slightly different impression of Mu Jingzhe instantly reverted to its original state.

So, it was only because of this that she had turned over a new leaf.

He speculated as the conversation continued.

"I'm not spouting nonsense. If you're not interested in Tang Moling, why aren't you willing to accept such a good proposal?"

Li Zhaodi sighed. "If you really like him, you can snatch him. He looks alright. Although he's rude, he has a car and money.

"That girl Mu Xue is just lucky. She saved a random guy on the street and he turned out to be a rich person with a car. Since that girl has taken a fancy to him, he shouldn't be too bad. If you want to snatch him, just go ahead and try. If you fail, Mom will go back and find that driver. I think he's quite interested in you."

Mu Jingzhe was shocked.

"No, no, definitely not. Mom, are you trying to scare me to death? Why would you say such a terrifying thing?"

That was the male protagonist. The male protagonist who only had eyes for the female protagonist. If she, the supporting character, tried to snatch him, wouldn't she be courting death?

The female protagonist's man couldn't be touched casually.

Her attempt to get involved with the female protagonist's first love, the male supporting character of Shao Qihai, had already resulted in this outcome. If one provoked the male lead, one might die before one knew it.

"Mom, don't say such things again in the future. I would never fall for Tang Moling."

The eavesdropping Tang Moling was left speechless.
