Suddenly slapped by Xiong Er, Xiong Da's body lurched forward uncontrollably. After regaining his balance, he immediately became angry, "Why did you push me!"

"What do you think?" Xiong Er rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. "They're guests. Even if you're unhappy about something, you should keep it to yourself."

"..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Mu Qingyun roughly understood what was going on; the older man clearly didn't like her very much.

"Uncle, what are you doing? This is my brother Mu. What's wrong with you?" Xiong Ruoyou was also very puzzled. Her uncle was the most innocent and easy to get along with. What was wrong with him?

"I just don't like him."

"Bang—" Xiong Er swiftly struck, knocking Xiong Da unconscious. He held Xiong Da in his arms and smiled at Mu Qingyun, "Sorry, he's just being sarcastic. Don't take it to heart."

"Guests are welcome, please follow me." Xiong Lingfeng was also speechless. They all knew that Xiao You liked Mu Qingyun, and Xiong Da's actions would only backfire.

"Brother Mu, I'm sorry." Xiong Ruoyou didn't expect the uncle to say that, so she quickly walked to her side and put her arm around her. "Don't be angry."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun didn't say anything, but simply nodded slightly.

She hated feeling unwelcome; in her past life, until she finally ascended the throne, she lived in an environment where she was disliked by others.

She had had enough of being disliked by her father, by officials from different factions, and by her brothers.

If she isn't welcome here, she won't stay any longer.

"Let's go."

Xiong Lingfeng frowned at his daughter's actions but said nothing. Instead, he turned and led the three people inside.

The security company was extremely large. Mu Qingyun looked at the elevator, which quickly reached the 23rd floor in just one minute, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The technology here is truly impressive.

As they approached the company and pushed open the glass door, they arrived at a place to eat.

There are many ornamental plants here, so realistic that they could easily be mistaken for real ones. If it weren't for the fact that her plant-related abilities weren't working, she would have really thought those plants were real.

A table a meter long was filled with all sorts of delicious dishes.

The daughter of a wealthy family.

Mu Qingyun came to this conclusion in her heart, but upon closer reflection, it seemed that everyone around her was a young master or lady from a wealthy family.

Fan Xuanye's family also has assets to inherit, and the Su family seems to be very wealthy as well. Although he is not very capable, he seems to be the only child in the family.

And then there's Kazel. Although we don't know his background, judging from his usual demeanor and upbringing, and the fact that he can get schools of fish in the ocean to work for him, he's probably a man of great hidden talent.

Wait a minute, logically speaking, the original owner of this body also had a good background, being a princess of the empire. If Mu Jingfeng hadn't refused to acknowledge her, her background would have been far superior to everyone else's.

He chuckled softly. Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together; those gathered here all seem to have some kind of background.

"Brother Mu, Xuan Ye, please sit here." Xiong Ruoyou invited them to sit down with great enthusiasm.

As soon as they sat down, the aunties standing around them rushed over to pour them tea and offer them tissues.

Mu Qingyun was quite used to it until a steak was served.

The original owner had never eaten this before, and she had no idea about table manners for something that was obviously foreign.

She glanced at Fan Xuanye out of the corner of her eye. Fan Xuanye seemed to notice her embarrassment as well, and quickly picked up his knife and fork, slowly eating his steak while demonstrating to her.

With Fan Xuanye's help, although she had never eaten before, she did not lose any of her manners.

Xiong Lingfeng observed silently, and nodded in satisfaction when he saw her skillfully using the knife and fork.

He had the steak deliberately served; people from Garbage Planet rarely eat it, so he wanted to test her reaction.

After all, he's the person Xiaoyou likes. If there aren't any major problems, he can agree. The happiness of the younger generation is something they have to fight for themselves.

After dinner, Xiong Lingfeng invited them to stay at his home.

Fan Xuanye had no objections, but Mu Qingyun hesitated. After thinking for a moment, she finally spoke up and said, "I wonder if you would be willing to lend me some money."

"Huh?" Xiong Lingfeng was clearly surprised by her words. "You don't need to borrow money. You can eat and drink here. We even said we wanted to reserve the manager's position for you."

"I have some things I want to do." After listening to Xiong Lingfeng finish speaking, Mu Qingyun neither agreed nor disagreed directly.

"I'd like to borrow the money. It won't be long; I'll pay you back double in three months," she said earnestly, looking up at Xiong Lingfeng.

However, Xiong Ruoyou frowned and grabbed her arm, "Brother Mu, aren't you going to live with us?"

"I have something to do." She smiled at Xiong Ruoyou, which was a way of indirectly responding to Xiong Ruoyou's question.

"Oh, can I come with you?"

“It’s not very convenient,” she shook her head and decisively refused. “It’s more convenient for me to do this alone; it would be more inconvenient to bring you along.”

Fan Xuan Ye, who was standing to the side, looked up at her and suddenly asked, "When will you be back?"

"It won't be long. I'll definitely be back once I've finished my business." She didn't give a specific timeframe, because she herself couldn't guarantee when she would return.

“No problem,” Xiong Lingfeng glanced at Xiong Ruoyou and chuckled, “Given how you took care of Xiaoyou during the trial, I can lend you any amount of money. Just pay me back the original price, no need to double it.”

"Thank you." She nodded and said thank you.

But Xiong Ruoyou turned to look at her, her eyes filled with sorrow and sadness. Didn't she promise to stay here with her? Why did she suddenly leave?

Turning her head away to avoid eye contact with Xiong Ruoyou, Mu Qingyun lowered her head and waited for Xiong Lingfeng's assistant to bring the money over.

"This is a black card. You can spend unlimited amounts of money in it. Just pay back whatever you spend." Xiong Lingfeng took the card, stood up, and handed it to her.

"Thank you." She thanked him again and took the card.

"By the way, what's your contact number? Let's add each other as friends." Xiong Lingfeng picked up his phone from his pocket and held it up to show it to others.

"Oh, right, my phone! I almost forgot!" Xiong Ruoyou seemed to wake up from a dream after being reminded, and reached out to ask Xiong Lingfeng for her phone.

"I'll give it to you later," Xiong Lingfeng said, looking at her again. "If you don't have a phone, I'll go buy one later."

As he spoke, he took a piece of paper from his assistant, wrote down his contact number, and handed it over.

She took it and put it away, then thanked her again.

Xiong Ruoyou then gave them a tour of the company, and afterwards stood at the entrance with Fan Xuanye, waving goodbye with tears in his eyes.

"Brother Mu, you must come back soon."
