Seeing Sister Wang's strange expression, Mu Liuyun also scratched her head awkwardly.

The farewell that took place just a few days ago was quite dramatic, and the parting even had a romantic, cinematic feel to it.

As a result, they met again just a week later.

It feels like a waste of emotions?

Could it be that Sister Wang didn't actually want to see me, and was just being polite at the time?

Was I just being presumptuous?

Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun lowered her head even further.

Mu Liuyun looked embarrassed with her head down and her cheeks flushed. Her pitiful appearance made Sister Wang laugh out loud. She scolded, "You came all this way, but you didn't even bring anything."

"Sister Wang, would you like a sweet potato?"

Sister Wang's joke made Mu Liuyun realize that she didn't take it too seriously, so she replied with a smile.

"Sister Wang, weren't you going to open a convenience store? Why are you selling these... uh, fried food?"

"There's no one at the convenience store in the morning, so my mom is watching it. Since she has nothing else to do, she came out to the morning market to sell some things."

"Hey, did I not tell you? My parents raise silkworms, and these silkworm pupae are all from my own farm. Try some."

As she spoke, Sister Wang scooped a piece out of the oil, blew on it to cool it down, and handed it to Mu Liuyun's lips.

Mu Liuyun didn't mince words and took a bite. The "meat" inside burst open in Mu Liuyun's mouth. The slightly salty and savory flavors combined to give her a special feeling, which made Mu Liuyun unable to resist chewing it heartily.

But after chewing for a short while, Mu Liuyun's expression changed. She felt that the outer shell was impossible to chew and had a strange taste.

How does it taste?

When Sister Wang asked her the question, Mu Liuyun hesitated for a moment.

"Good, delicious."

"Haha, what's so delicious about it? You can't eat the outer skin!"

"ah!"

Mu Liuyun quickly spat the peel out of her mouth onto the ground, but because she had chewed it too finely, the strange taste lingered in her mouth.

"vomit."

Seeing Mu Liuyun make her want to vomit, she thought, "She's so cute." Sister Wang, who had been trying to suppress her laughter, burst into loud laughter and handed Mu Liuyun a bottle of "Jingshui" (a type of Chinese liquor) with a picture of a martial arts star on it, so that Mu Liuyun could rinse her mouth.

After the sweet soda entered her mouth, Mu Liuyun felt that the taste in her mouth had become much less intense. She looked up at Sister Wang, who was about the same height as her, with a hint of resentment: "Sister Wang, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Sister Wang looked at Mu Liuyun with a smile in her eyes: "No one would have thought that you would just put it in your mouth and chew it."

"Hey, where are that old man and Little Xi? Why didn't you bring them along when you came out to play?"

Sister Wang was very clear about Mu Liuyun's family structure, so she always admired this young man who had shouldered the burden of his family at such a young age.

"Grandpa went abroad for medical treatment. Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi is still in school."

When the stream was mentioned, Mu Liuyun hesitated noticeably. Wang Jie, who had previously worked in the sex industry, naturally didn't miss this scene.

"What happened? Did you have a fight with Xiaoxi?"

"Well, it wasn't exactly an argument."

Mu Liuyun tilted her head and thought for a moment. It really wasn't a quarrel between her and Mu Xiaoxi. It was just that she didn't want to be taken advantage of anymore, and she didn't want people to look at others through her eyes anymore.

"I see."

When Sister Wang saw Mu Liuyun's slightly confused expression, she knew that something must have happened between him and Mu Xiaoxi. Otherwise, this gentle, almost saintly little brother wouldn't have shown such an expression.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Xiaoyun, how many days are you staying this time?"

How many days will you stay?

Mu Liuyun really hadn't made any plans; she just acted on impulse, only thinking about leaving Jincheng.

If he hadn't talked to Sister Wang beforehand, he wouldn't even know where he was going.

"About a month to a year?"

Anyway, since Old Man Mu said he wouldn't be back for a year, Mu Liuyun would have to stay away for at least a year.

But they may not stay here forever.

"A year!?"

Upon hearing Mu Liuyun's words, Sister Wang's eyes widened.

Having been away for a year, this is no small matter.

"What about your studies? A year is enough time for the school to expel you countless times!"

"It should be fine with the school, right?"

Afterwards, Mu Liuyun contacted her counselor, Li Hong, but Li Hong was busy with school matters at the time and was unable to come to see her.

Since Liu Kun died, the former president of Jin University was not only dismissed from his post, but also had the money Liu Kun gave him recovered. If it weren't for his advanced age and sincere attitude in admitting his mistakes, he would probably be working for the government by now, and could even write a book titled "At Nearly Seventy, I Successfully Reached the Threshold of Success".

After the old principal was removed, Li Hong's father was naturally promoted to the position. Knowing Mu Liuyun's situation, he believed that Mu Liuyun's absence from classes and internships would not affect his studies.

Mu Liuyun was very grateful to Li Hong and her father for such preferential treatment. It was just a pity that she couldn't treat Sister Li to a meal before leaving.

Let's wait and see.

Seeing that Mu Liuyun didn't seem to be joking, Sister Wang asked gently, "So, where are you staying? Have you made arrangements?"

Mu Liuyun shook her head.

Do we really need to make arrangements for this? He has seven-figure savings; he could easily afford to stay in a hotel.

"Then come to my house. I have a few empty rooms in my yard, but..."

"but?"

"You'll have to dismantle the kang (heated brick bed) yourself then."

Sister Wang chuckled mischievously, as if she could already see Mu Liuyun making herself look disheveled.

...

...

The news of the Liu family of Jincheng being wiped out overnight spread to all levels of society.

No one expected that Liu Kun, the seemingly respectable and virtuous idol, was actually involved in that kind of business behind the scenes.

In the chairman's office on the top floor of the Du Group, Du Ziyan, who was wearing a face mask, watched the news while giving his father, Du Shang, a thumbs-up in admiration.

"Father, it's all thanks to you. You told me not to kick someone when they're down, otherwise it wouldn't be that stupid second young lady of the Shui family being scolded online now, it would be me."

Du Shang's obese body was crammed into the boss's chair, his flesh almost sprawled out.

“You should learn from this, kid. Chu Yaqin and Shen Lanxin both helped Mu Liuyun so much. If we had gone to support Liu Kun back then, no matter what the outcome, our Du family would have been targeted by the Chu and Shen families.”

"But Dad, I've suffered such a great humiliation, are you just going to let him off so easily?"

"Then what else do you want? To let your father go and fight the Chu family and the Shen family?"

"But..."

It was obvious that Du Ziyan still couldn't swallow the anger he suffered at Liu Leyao's concert last time.

Du Shang braced his hands on the armrests of the chair, forcing his large body to move out of the way, walked to his son's side, and patted his shoulder: "Have you forgotten? Back then, didn't that woman Shen Lanxin tell us to send over the adoption papers?"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about it. I haven't taken care of it yet, what should I do!"

"What's the rush? Son, I have something to ask you."

"Can Shen Lanxin really make all the decisions in the Shen family by herself?"

"ah?"

Du Ziyan stared blankly at Du Shang, not understanding what Du Shang meant.

"Bang bang bang".

Just then, there was a knock on Du Shang's office door, and a young man with a wicked and arrogant smile walked in. Du Shang immediately went to greet him.

"Young Master Gu, it's been a long time."
