Huang Hao grimaced, took out his phone, opened a text message, and handed it to Xu Mu.
Xu Mu took the phone. The number was not saved and was a virtual one.
It contained only one sentence.
"Ye Tong of the Ye family is in your market."
Xu Mu returned the phone to Huang Hao. He already had a suspect in mind.
That was Lin Yan.
Meng Wanyue had been by his side, and her purpose was to protect Ye Tong and Ye Yu, so she definitely wouldn't do such a thing.
Xu Mu's expression grew increasingly grim. He hadn't actively provoked Lin Yan.
Even at the Su family, it was fair competition.
But if the other party investigated Ye Tong and targeted his woman, then he wouldn't be merciful.
"Is there something wrong with your head? He's clearly using you as a pawn."
After speaking, Xu Mu got up and walked towards Ye Tong and Ye Yu.
He noticed that not only Ye Tong, but also Ye Yu's favorability was continuously increasing.
"Let's go."
Xu Mu smiled at the two.
"Okay."
Ye Tong nodded gently.
Meng Wanyue looked at Ye Tong and Ye Yu's gaze towards Xu Mu and felt that the rumors were too exaggerated.
She had previously heard that Xu Mu treated these two women very poorly.
But seeing it with her own eyes today, she realized it was a lie.
Since the two of them were living quite well, she naturally had no need to inform the Dragon King.
Huang Hao's eyes were full of malice.
He clenched his fists, fiercely thinking that Xu Mu, that bastard, had gone too far.
Their Huang family followed the Feng family, and this matter absolutely couldn't be let go.
If he didn't get revenge, how could he hold his head high in the circles of rich second-generation heirs in Jiang City in the future?
Xu Mu took the others into the car, and Meng Wanyue proactively sat in the driver's seat.
Ye Tong and Ye Yu, meanwhile, sat in the back.
"Are we still going to scout the market today? I'm free, I'll accompany you."
Xu Mu turned to look at the two.
Ye Tong's heart was filled with gratitude at this moment. She took a deep breath, "Thank you."
"We're family, why thank me?"
Xu Mu waved his hand with a smile, "Besides, I said this morning, if anything happens, remember to find me. What do you think your man is for?"
Hearing this, Ye Tong blushed and lowered her head.
[Favorability +20]
"Brother-in-law, who is this sister? She's so amazing! A girl, and she kicked that bastard flying."
Ye Yu asked curiously.
"Oh, this is my secretary and bodyguard, Meng Wanyue."
Xu Mu introduced.
"Hello, I'm General Manager Xu's newly hired secretary."
Meng Wanyue turned around and gave a polite, artificial smile.
"Sister, when you have time, can you teach me? I also want to be able to fight, so that no one will dare to bully us anymore."
Ye Yu shook her little fist, her bright, watery eyes glancing at Xu Mu in the front seat.
"Okay, I'll teach you when I have time." Meng Wanyue nodded.
"Your important task now is to study, what are you thinking about all day?"
Ye Tong tapped Ye Yu's forehead.
Ye Yu stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Xu Mu had Meng Wanyue drive the car to another mall, then asked Meng Wanyue to leave the car and go back to work.
Today, Xu Mu planned to continue cultivating the favorability of these sisters.
Especially Ye Yu, her Fate Level was one level higher than Ye Tong's.
Through observation with the Eye of God, after several days of effort, Ye Yu's favorability had already reached -100.
Before, her favorability was -160.
Once Ye Yu's favorability became positive, he could start 'milking' these sisters for resources.
He needed to continue to increase his strength.
"Let's just look around in this mall."
Xu Mu looked at Ye Tong and said.
"Okay."
Ye Tong was still immersed in what Xu Mu had said when he saved her earlier.
She didn't even dare to look into Xu Mu's eyes.
She took Ye Yu's hand, and they walked into the mall together.
The group looked from the first floor to the second. Ye Tong kept observing which type of stores had more foot traffic.
She even took out her phone to make notes.
Ye Yu, meanwhile, stood by the clothing section, unable to move.
Seeing this, Xu Mu walked over and placed his hand on Ye Yu's shoulder, "Which one do you like? I'll buy it for you."
"Brother-in-law, I haven't spent the money you gave me yet."
Despite her inner skepticism about Xu Mu's change, Ye Yu no longer felt the aversion she once had.
"Save your money for emergencies."
Xu Mu rubbed Ye Yu's head, "Speaking of which, I've never bought you a gift before. Let your brother-in-law show off for once."
[Favorability +5]
Ye Yu nodded gently and walked into the store with Xu Mu.
"Hello, which one are you looking for?"
The store assistant walked over with a smile.
She looked to be in her thirties, with heavy makeup on her face, roughly an average beauty.
She looked at Xu Mu, dressed in designer clothes, but with so many fakes around, no one knew what was real or fake.
But what if he was rich?
So she rushed over first. If it was a big sale, the commission would be substantial.
"How much is this dress?"
Ye Yu pointed to a black dress hanging nearby.
"Oh, this dress is the most popular style this year. The original price is six thousand five hundred, but today there's a store discount, so you can get it for six thousand two hundred."
The assistant introduced with a smile.
"Six thousand? No, no."
Ye Yu shook her head in a hurry. If it were in the past, she wouldn't have hesitated over such things.
But with the Ye family's bankruptcy, she and her sister had relied on each other and endured several years of hardship, which had matured her considerably.
As long as the quality was good, any clothes could be worn.
Spending thousands on a single dress was simply not worth it to her.
"Brother-in-law, let's go."
Ye Yu pulled Xu Mu's hand, preparing to leave.
"It's fine, trying it on doesn't cost anything."
Xu Mu said to the assistant, "Let us try it on."
Hearing this, the smile on the assistant's face gradually faded.
As an assistant, she had seen all sorts of people.
From the girl's panic after hearing the price, she could conclude that she had no money.
To put it bluntly, she was broke but liked to show off. The assistant had seen many such people before.
They would wear designer clothes, secretly take photos, and then post them on social media, making it seem like the clothes were theirs.
So why waste her time? She might as well sit there and play on her phone.
Especially in their store, there was a rule: if she served this customer, the next one who came in would be assigned to someone else.
She knew she couldn't make money from this customer, so it was better not to serve them and waste a slot.
So, she turned around and called out, "Xiao Zhao, you serve these customers. I'm going to the restroom."
Xu Mu watched the heavily made-up woman. As she left, her face still carried a look of disdain.
"Okay, Sister Wang."
A young woman sweeping the floor in the distance replied.
She put the broom aside and walked over with a smile.
"Hello, what are you interested in?"
The woman smiled warmly.
Xu Mu observed the woman. She looked very young, pure like a girl next door, with black hair cascading like a waterfall.
Her small, straight nose bridge gave her face more definition, and her eyes held a tenacious spirit.
"What the hell?"
Xu Mu was surprised. Through the Eye of God, he observed that this one was also extraordinary.
Name: Zhao Yingying
Character: Student, heroine of "The Strongest Son-in-Law."
Favorability: 10
Fate Level: 8 (Max level 10)
Another heroine appeared, and correspondingly, there must be a son-in-law protagonist.
No wonder she looked young; she was still a student. Today was Sunday, so she was likely working part-time to help with her studies.
Xu Mu pointed to the black dress and said, "We'd like to try this one."
"Okay."
Zhao Yingying took down the dress, looked at Ye Yu and smiled, "Sir, your girlfriend is so beautiful, anything would look good on her."
Hearing this, Ye Yu's body trembled, and then her cheeks flushed.
"Please follow me, our fitting rooms are here."
Zhao Yingying invited with a smile.
"Uh... okay."
Ye Yu secretly glanced at Xu Mu and immediately followed her inside.
A moment later, Ye Yu came out.
Xu Mu carefully observed, then clapped, "Good, it's too beautiful, this dress is nice."
The black dress, combined with the design, gave Ye Yu a princess-like aura.
Of course, it was mainly because Ye Yu was already beautiful.
"It's truly beautiful."
Zhao Yingying also smiled from the side.
At this moment, Sister Wang, who had just returned, was sitting there playing on her phone, not even looking at Xu Mu and the others.
"Let her try that beige pleated skirt too, I think it's good." Xu Mu pointed to another skirt.
"Okay."
Zhao Yingying nodded with a smile.
But Sister Wang, across the way, frowned and stood up, "Sir, that skirt is our store's signature item. It costs fifteen thousand."
