Back then, it was Xia Bingqing who harbored ill intentions and tried to push her off the cliff, but she herself accidentally fell down as well. Now, Xia Bingqing is actually shifting the blame onto Yi Yi—how could she not be angry!

"I...I did something foolish because I was so worried about Brother Xun...No...Let's not talk about that. Please, for the sake of the time I saved Brother Xun before, help me this once more and let me stay. I...I will repay you and serve you like a slave..."

"I don't need you to be my slave."

"So you mean you agree to let me move in? Thank you, Yi Yi, you're such a good person. I'm grateful to you, I'll be grateful to you for the rest of my life."

After saying this, Xia Bingqing wiped away her tears, stood up from the ground, and ignored them, going straight into the living room, leaving the others standing there looking at each other in bewilderment. This young lady, although she has changed so much, her uninvited arrival is still the same as before.

"Uh, sir, boss, how about... I just drag her out and throw her into the street?" Xiao Fang volunteered.

The old man waved his hand and said, "No, their family has some connection with ours. If word gets out, it won't look right. Besides, it's true that we brought down her father, but she didn't do anything to harm our family. If outsiders find out, they'll think we're petty and want to wipe them out."

“Dad is right.” Mu Wenya also disagreed with Xiao Fang’s opinion. “Anyway, our house is so big, there are plenty of empty rooms. Since she insists on staying, let her stay for a few days. If you feel it’s inconvenient for her to stay at home, just put her in the backyard and don’t let her come to the front on weekdays.”

Mu Wenya's idea is not a bad compromise.

“Are we just going to let her live here like this? We have plenty of empty space in our house, enough to support ten or eight freeloaders, but…” Mu Nanxun glanced at Yi Yi and continued, “but she hurt Yi Yi before.”

"How about we wait until she's settled down, then find her a job and gradually get her to move out? What do you think, Yi Yi?"

Upon hearing this, Yi nodded, "I think it's fine."

It's just another person in the house. Although she didn't like this arrogant and domineering young lady before, seeing her in such a sorry state now makes her feel sorry for her. Besides, having Xia Bingqing live in the backyard means they won't have much contact on a daily basis, so it won't cause any major problems.

"What do you think, Nanxun?" Mu Wenya asked Mu Nanxun again.

Since Yi Yi had agreed, Mu Nanxun naturally had nothing to say. Moreover, Xia Bingqing was right about one thing: she had saved his life in the jungle after all, and for that reason alone, he wouldn't just let her wander outside unattended.

"Sure," Mu Nanxun replied calmly.

"Alright, let's do it that way." The old man made the decision and pointed to several servants who were waiting nearby, "You guys, hurry up and go to the backyard, prepare a room, and settle Xia Bingqing in later."

"Yes, sir."

The servants nodded in agreement and went to the backyard to tidy up the rooms.

The group continued walking into the villa. Mu Nanxun and Yi Yi had eyes only for each other, and their mood was unaffected by this little incident.

A beautiful day thus came to a close amidst the tender whispers of the two, setting the stage for countless happy and sweet mornings to come.
