Ruan Mingxuan did not move.

Ruan Tiantian was a little embarrassed. "Sister Mingying, please let Xuanxuan take it. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Ruan Mingxuan said, enunciating each word clearly: "This gentleman has not apologized to me yet."

Ruan Tiantian burst out laughing, her laughter as clear and crisp as a silver bell. Ruan Mingxuan didn't know what she had said that pleased her.

"What 'Mr.'? He's just our driver, Lao Ge. He should apologize to Xuanxuan."

Old Ge reluctantly said sorry.

"Your driver?" Ruan Mingying frowned slightly. "Where did you get a driver?"

Ruan Tiantian's silvery laughter stopped abruptly, but she quickly forced a smile, "Sister Mingying, I'm getting married soon. This is the driver my fiancé arranged for me. Aren't you happy for me?"

Ruan Mingying was even more surprised. "Wait a minute, shouldn't you be studying abroad? How's your studies going?"

Although she didn't want to judge people, Ruan Tiantian's makeup and attire gave her a very uncomfortable feeling—

Isn't it said that the supervisor is strict, the academic workload is heavy, and they are busy with research projects every day? How do you still have time and energy to do rhinestone nail art?

The most crucial question is, where did she get the money?

Ruan Tiantian pursed her lips. "Mingying, how about we talk on the text later? I have something to do right now. Since it's a misunderstanding, could you..."

Ruan Mingying nodded. She was soaked to the bone and feeling uncomfortable, so she didn't really want to catch up with people here. She just had too many questions in her mind, so she asked a few more.

She showed her payment QR code, "Fifty."

Ruan Tiantian quickly paid the money and then urged Lao Ge, "Hurry up and leave, don't keep my husband waiting."

Ruan Mingying pulled Ruan Mingxuan into the car amidst the thanks of others, their muddy bodies soaking the back seat.

The driver, Brother Zhang, looked utterly remorseful. "Madam, look at this! My family will kill me if they find out..."

He was driving in the car and didn't get splashed with a drop of mud or water. Unexpectedly, the two sisters even went into the water to help push the car.

Ruan Mingying waved her hand, "It's okay, Xuanxuan and I are both wearing coats, let's go home quickly."

Brother Zhang turned the steering wheel and drove away, then paused and said, "Luckily, I was worried about serious flooding on the roads after it rained, so I specifically chose this old car that I was going to scrap."

After all, the cars in the gentleman's garage are all more expensive than the last. If he uses them to tow other people's cars, his wife would be heartbroken if she didn't care.

——

On the other side, Lao Ge watched the car leave with a disdainful look in his eyes.

"Miss Ruan, why are you so afraid of that woman? And what was her attitude like? Isn't she being a bit too nosy?"

Even if someone is an acquaintance, they have no right to interfere with another person's freedom.

Ruan Tiantian stared at the car, somewhat irritated. "I'm not afraid of her—she found such a useless man, what do I have to be afraid of?"

She just hadn't figured out how to face Ruan Mingying yet.

Old Ge chuckled as he thought of the man sitting in that car earlier.

"You're right, this woman is pretty, but she ended up with a spineless coward. She even has two women get out of the car and push it to make money for him. Tsk tsk, she must be having a tough time."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tiantian lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

——

Mingzhuo had been keeping an eye on the commotion outside the gate. When he heard the car drive into the courtyard, he walked towards the gate.

The housekeeper was already waiting in the yard with an umbrella. When he saw the two sisters covered in mud, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Good heavens, Madam, Second Miss, what has happened? Old Zhang, what kind of work are you doing?"

Mingzhuo took the black umbrella from the maid next to him, quickly walked down the steps, and held the umbrella for Ruan Mingxuan.

The group entered the house. Ruan Mingying and Ruan Mingxuan went upstairs to wash up, while the driver, Brother Zhang, parked the car and came over to report the situation.

Upon hearing that someone had thrown money out of the window, the butler immediately became angry. "What does this mean? Is this an insult?"

Even a wealthy family like the Xu family never mistreats its servants and never thinks that hiring others makes them superior.

Brother Zhang: "That woman seems to know both the madam and the second young lady."

The butler sneered, "She shouldn't act like this if she knows someone. Does she have a grudge against Madam and the Second Miss?"

Brother Zhang: "It shouldn't be. That woman even took out two hundred yuan and said she wanted the second young lady to buy some food. Her tone was quite warm, but her attitude was always arrogant and full of superiority. She also stared at our car several times—I get it!"

He only realized now that the other person was looking down on him for driving a car worth hundreds of thousands.

The butler roared, "Tell me right now, what kind of car did that woman drive that made her feel so superior in front of Madam!"

Brother Zhang: "It's a car worth over a million."

"Take Madam out for drives these next couple of days, and remember to always drive the best car in the garage!" The young mistress of the Xu family must have a grand presence!

Mingzhao: "..."

She put down her book. "Let's stay home these next couple of days. The heavy rain hasn't passed yet."

Butler: "What the Third Miss says is true. Then let's wait until the rain stops before taking Madam out for a walk."

Mingzhuo really wanted to tell the housekeeper that it would be difficult to run into the person in question if they ran around aimlessly in the streets, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Ruan Mingying has been staying at home all day lately, and hasn't even gone to her favorite shopping streets. I don't know what she's been busy with. It would be good for her to go out and relax.

Due to the continuous heavy rain, the whole family has reduced going out and is working and studying from home.

When Mingzhuo came downstairs, he saw Gu Xu and He Wangyao sitting on the sofa in the living room.

I went to my hometown in Hezhou a couple of days ago. The bayberries on the mountain had a bumper harvest. Luckily, it hadn't rained yet, so the villagers rushed to harvest a batch before the downpour and then sent several baskets to Hezhou.

He Zhou knew that his son was only alive today because of Gu Xu and Ming Zhuo, so he asked He Wangyao to go home and get two baskets to give away.

The two people came to deliver bayberries today.

"Boss, hurry up and try it to see if it's good." He Wangyao quickly called out.

Gu Xu watched Ming Zhuo finish eating a bayberry before speaking, "If you like them, I have another basket of them."

Mingzhuo was surprised that the bayberries tasted very good, not too sour, but rather quite addictive. "Isn't this a bad idea?"

Gu Xu: "There's nothing wrong with it, I can't eat that much anyway."

Mingzhuo didn't stand on ceremony. There were too many people in her family. She thanked Gu Xu and then noticed He Wangyao next to her.

"Did you go to get your hair done?"

He Wangyao: "Yeah, my hairstyle looks alright, right? By the way, I hope I haven't broken any taboos?"

He lowered his voice to ask the last question, knowing he wouldn't dare be so arrogant if Mingzhuo had any requests.

After all, I have learned the Dao from Mingzhuo, so I should listen to my master.

Mingzhuo: "There are no taboos. If you like it, that's fine. I have no objection."

Seeing He Wangyao's hair reminded me of her "emo" days... How come other people's hair dyeing looks fashionable, but my hair dyeing looks awful?

Mingzhuo calmly thought that Pei Di's taste was probably bad and it had nothing to do with him.
