Chapter 44 Utterly Disappointed with Rong Muchen
"This matter is between Mu Yan and the Shen family. It has nothing to do with you or me, and we have no right to point fingers at the Shen family. Mu Yan has been indebted to the Shen family for twenty years, and she should repay them. Alright, Fu Sinian, you don't need to pretend to be a good person here. Mu Yan can't see this anyway."
Rong Muchen gave Fu Sinian a perfunctory response, but in his heart he felt a great deal of contempt for him.
Isn't he just trying to show off while Lin Muyan is down on her luck? Anyone can see that, but Lin Muyan isn't here, so who is he putting on this act for?
Fu Sinian clenched his fists in anger, a storm brewing in his eyes. If glares could kill, Rong Muchen would have been torn to pieces by now.
"You don't deserve Mu Yan's affection. I'll show her what kind of person you are and make her open her eyes!"
"Tch, Mu Yan hates you the most. Do you think she'll listen to anything you say?" Rong Muchen's thin lips curled into a disdainful smile, his heart filled with extreme confidence.
"Aren't you going to leave? If you don't go, Aunt Shen is going to call the police."
At this moment, Mrs. Shen, who had been silent until now, spoke up.
"Young Master Fu, please leave. It's none of your business to interfere in our family affairs. Lin Muyan wanted to leave on her own, and she agreed to pay child support herself. None of us forced her."
Shen Jiaojiao's eyes darted around, and she spoke at the opportune moment.
"Or perhaps Mu Yan said something to you that made you misunderstand? Daddy and Mommy have always been grateful for the twenty years of raising Mu Yan. Their feelings for her have always remained. She is an adult now, and any decisions she makes are her own. Did Young Master Fu hear something and misunderstand?"
As soon as Shen Jiaojiao finished speaking, she looked up and saw Fu Sinian waiting for her coldly. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head.
Rong Muchen gritted his teeth and stood in front of Shen Jiaojiao.
He always felt that Fu Sinian was his sworn enemy from several lifetimes ago. No matter which girl he wanted to get close to, Fu Sinian would always try to interfere.
Outside the door, Lin Muyan witnessed everything. Her face remained calm, but her heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.
Rong Muchen's words and actions disappointed her greatly; this was no longer the Muchen she remembered.
Fu Sinian, on the other hand, came to her defense without saying a word. Could it be just because he likes being a judge? Or is he just trying to get involved in the drama?
Just as Rong Muchen said, no matter how indignant Fu Sinian was for her, she didn't know that people always have something in mind. What was Fu Sinian after?
[Young Master Fu truly is a romantic; men who quietly support their partners are the most charming!]
[Fu Shao's affection for Lin Muyan is indeed overwhelming. Looking at it this way, Rong Muchen's so-called liking is truly pathetic. I think he likes himself the most.]
[Jiaojiao, you absolutely must keep your eyes open and not let Rong Muchen steal you away! That scumbag doesn't deserve her at all!]
[How come I never noticed Rong Muchen's true colors before? Not long after the apocalypse, he moved into the Shen family because of Lin Muyan, and only then did I gradually discover Lin Muyan's true nature. He also developed feelings for Jiaojiao over time, but now it seems he's not much better than Lin Muyan.]
The barrage of comments fell into self-confusion, seemingly because the female supporting character they all hated had awakened, and everything had changed.
Lin Muyan silently turned and left, feeling a pang of unease upon seeing the comments on the screen.
She couldn't completely believe what the comments said, like that Fu Sinian was super in love with her; she didn't think that guy would really like her.
Even if we assume they know each other, they are not close at all, not even nodding acquaintances, and rarely have any contact. They are practically strangers.
How can you say you like someone?
Lin Muyan didn't bother with the Shen family's affairs. Since she was already there, she decided to go and check on the safe house.
The progress bar on the contract has already moved to the exterior wall renovation. Although she's not allowed in yet, the exterior wall renovation should give us some clues.
When Lin Muyan arrived at the mansion, she could only see the tall fence, with what appeared to be light inside, but she couldn't hear anything.
The men in suits who had been standing guard outside the fence a few days ago were still standing there meticulously. When they saw Lin Muyan arrive, they only nodded slightly, showing no intention of backing down.
Lin Muyan once again felt intensely curious about the golden shovel. This contract was truly mysterious. She even suspected that these people might be some kind of high-dimensional life form, just looking human. They made no sound when they started working, and the guards always maintained the same posture standing outside.
These days, she joined the owners' group of the hillside villas and secretly spied on them under a different guise. Many owners were gossiping about the progress of her mansion renovation, and some even tried to sneak a peek, climbing up to a high place with binoculars but finding nothing.
"She's blocking it so tightly, what do you think she's trying to do? If there's anything illegal in it, I'll definitely report her."
"Of course, a mere young girl like her, what special treatment does she think she can get? With her abilities, even after being kicked out of the Shen family, she still won't settle down. I never realized she was so capable. I heard she's being kept by someone, and the house was a gift from him."
'Tsk tsk tsk, relying on her youth and beauty, she has no moral bottom line. Mrs. Shen is incredibly unlucky to have raised such a thing for nothing.'
The group chat was mostly filled with criticism of Lin Muyan, just like the previous bullet comments; they all didn't think highly of her.
Lin Muyan didn't care about this and let them talk. The more enthusiastic they were now, the more they would regret it later.
However, to Lin Muyan's surprise, a small number of people in the group also mentioned the recent doomsday rhetoric, and some people had already started stockpiling supplies at home.
Wealthy people have plenty of money and manpower, and they are also more likely to value their lives. At the slightest sign of trouble, they will spend money to alleviate their anxiety.
It's not difficult for them to stockpile supplies, and even if they stockpile too much and let it get moldy and then throw it away, they won't feel it's a waste.
Only ordinary people care about whether it's worth it, whether it's a waste, or whether they've spent money for nothing.
Of course, most of the homeowners in the group still didn't believe in the apocalypse, and Lin Muyan just watched from the sidelines without ever making a comment.
She's not some saint; she has no obligation to tell others that the end of the world is really coming.
Even if she did speak out, most people would just think she was creating panic and trying to grab attention, and might even report her and convict her.
People only believe what they want to believe, and Lin Muyan doesn't do things that are thankless and difficult.
Since she couldn't see the progress of the safe house renovation, Lin Muyan simply found a corner and took out her golden shovel.
She hasn't unearthed any particularly valuable items lately; most of her finds are things that can be easily monetized, which she quickly sold off. She's not short of money now.
With a shovel strike, numerous green orbs of light burst forth and burrowed into her body.
Lin Muyan was startled. By the time she realized what was happening, the green space in her mind had expanded to three acres.
The fact that the arable farmland had increased so many times over filled Lin Muyan with joy.
The corn that was planted earlier has been harvested. It's soft, sweet, and delicious, much better than the corn sold in the market, and the kernels are also quite large.
This made Lin Muyan realize that the quality of the space farmland far exceeded that of reality; no matter what was planted, it would grow better and yield a greater harvest.
However, since she only had 50 square meters of land at the time, and the crops couldn't be planted too densely, she couldn't plant much in total, so she wasn't in a hurry to plant more.
Now that we have these three acres of land, it's time to make some good plans for it.
