Snap!

The telephone receiver collided with the landline, and Mu Jingsheng hung up the phone after speaking, making quite a noise.

"Okay, it's alright now."

When he turned his head to look at Ye Yun, a warm and gentle smile bloomed on his face again.

Ye Yun's lips twitched.

Since that's the case, she didn't take the matter seriously anymore, and shrugged, saying, "Shall we go eat?"

"Okay, let's go get a big meal!"

With a smile on his face, Mu Jingsheng agreed more enthusiastically than anyone else, and didn't forget to show off: "Daughter, Dad opened a new restaurant called Chunfenglou in your county. I'll take you there to try it tonight!"

What?

Ye Yun's lips twitched.

Goodness, how did this guy open another restaurant without making a sound?

...

As night falls, the night market in Jinqiao County gradually comes to life, filling the air with a lively atmosphere.

To avoid Liu Xiaoyun at the factory gate, Ye Yun and Qin Zheng deliberately chose to leave through the back door of the garment factory, which would also temporarily avoid some entanglements that would only waste their time.

The old iron gate at the back door slowly closed behind them, making a soft sound.

The car turned onto the main road and drove along the wide avenue until it arrived at the bustling restaurant street.

Chunfeng Tower is located on a street corner, brightly lit and with a warm atmosphere.

As the behind-the-scenes owner of Chunfenglou, Mu Jingsheng never showed his face in the restaurant. The staff in the restaurant did not know Mu Jingsheng's identity and treated them with the same attitude as other customers.

Ye Yun chose a spacious private room on the second floor and ordered a fairly lavish meal.

Four meat dishes, eight vegetable dishes, and a sweet soup.

Excluding Xiaochuqi, there were five adults in their group.

Halfway through the meal, Ye Yun and Qin Xiang'e took Xiao Chuqi to the restroom to change her diaper, but they unexpectedly spotted a familiar figure in the lobby.

At the counter on the first floor, Ye Xue was affectionately holding the arm of a young man.

Tonight, she was wearing a white sweater, a long, bright red coat, her hair was permed into soft waves, she wore lipstick and eyeshadow, a scarf, and a pair of red high-heeled ankle boots. She was dressed up in a flamboyant way, like a young girl from the city.

Her outfit must have cost Ye Jian'an a considerable amount of his savings.

The two were talking about something, and Ye Xue covered her mouth and chuckled as she spoke, then playfully patted the man's shoulder.

The man, however, did not seem to be moved by Ye Xue's charm.

Although Ye Xue looked at him with a charming smile, her eyes were shy and timid, as if they were full of hooks that rippled like spring water.

He just gave a perfunctory smile.

A woman who eagerly pursues him doesn't seem to require much of his energy; he only needs to take her out for a meal and smile at her to make her fascinated.

He was a powerful figure in Jinqiao County, so why would he really be interested in a girl who hadn't even graduated from high school?

Oh, by the way, she was expelled from school.

Unfortunately, Ye Xue was thick-skinned and couldn't see through the perfunctory attitude hidden in the man's eyes.

Suddenly, Ye Xue downstairs seemed to sense something and turned to look upstairs, just in time to meet Ye Yun's scrutinizing gaze.

"Ye Yun?" Ye Xue's expression changed immediately.

Looking up at Ye Yun, she opened her mouth, seemingly not expecting to run into Ye Yun in this place.

"What are you looking at?" A voice interrupted from the side. It was the young man next to her, who also glanced upstairs as he spoke.

Upon seeing Ye Yun, a look of amazement suddenly appeared in the young man's eyes.

When he saw the child in Ye Yun's arms, the amazement in his eyes vanished, replaced by a lukewarm amusement.

She's quite pretty, but it's a pity she's a woman who's already had children.

"Know her?" The man had lost interest in Ye Yun, who had given birth, but out of curiosity, he still asked casually.

Ye Xue's expression revealed a hint of nervousness as she bit her lip and said, "I know them, but we're not close..."

"Oh?" The man looked Ye Xue up and down, then glanced at Ye Yun upstairs and clicked his tongue: "You know what, you two do look a bit alike. Could she be the cousin you were talking about who bullies you all the time?"

Ye Xue looked embarrassed, "Uh..."

"Is it really her?" A playful glint flashed in Cui Baoxiang's eyes. He suddenly said, "Let's go take a look."

After saying that, fearing that the world was not chaotic enough, he tightened his grip on Ye Xue's arm and walked upstairs.

Ye Xue was astonished.

"Hey, Brother Baoxiang..."

But by the time she realized what was happening, Cui Baoxiang had already led her upstairs towards Ye Yun.

Ye Xue was anxious. If someone saw Ye Yun, wouldn't she be exposed?

Today's man is Cui Baoxiang, the son of the distillery's director. Given her status, she naturally couldn't get close to such a person; she relied on playing the victim and acting pitiful.

A few days ago, she rode her old bicycle into the city and accidentally hit and injured Cui Baoxiang.

At that time, Cui Baoxiang made her pay compensation.

But where would she get the money?

In desperation, she told Cui Baoxiang that she had run away from home and that her cousin had bullied her and made her suffer a lot. She said that she was so distraught that she bumped into someone, hoping to gain the man's sympathy.

Unexpectedly, the man actually believed her and even felt pity for her.

Later, upon learning that Cui Baoxiang was the son of the winery director, she went to great lengths to cling to this powerful figure, describing Ye Yun as utterly despicable.

But she didn't expect that the other party would coincidentally meet Ye Yun so soon.

Upstairs, Ye Yun looked down at the two people climbing the stairs. She had no interest in dealing with them, glanced at Ye Xue indifferently, said nothing, and then turned around with Xiao Chuqi in her arms to return to the private room.
