In the taxi, Mu Liuyun and Shi Hengyu sat together in the back seat.
As she watched Shi Hengyu tell the driver their destination, Mu Liuyun was reminded of something that happened when she was a child.
That was shortly after the two had met, and also when Mu Xiaoxi had just arrived at the orphanage.
Because of her lack of security, Mu Xiaoxi would make a fuss about going to see her family every few days. As for Xiaoyu, he usually acted like an adult, never mentioning these things, and often helped comfort Mu Xiaoxi.
As a result, within two days, the child's true nature was revealed, and he started crying and making a fuss along with Mu Xiaoxi.
Mu Liuyun didn't dare to take the two children so far, after all, although he had the brain of an adult, his body was not as good as that of children of the same age.
Out of desperation and exasperation, Mu Liuyun asked the old man for about ten yuan and took them in a taxi to find her family.
At that time, Mu Xiaoxi was too young to remember where her home was, so her final destination was often Xiaoyu's former home.
However, every time he went to that area, Xiao Yu would just stare blankly at another villa, which was probably Lin Jianglu's former home.
Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun's face showed a nostalgic expression: "Brother Xiaoyu, were you and Long Haochen really childhood playmates?"
"Huh? Ah, I think so."
A hint of panic flashed across Shi Hengyu's face, but he quickly suppressed it.
Fortunately, he was facing the driver, so Mu Liuyun didn't notice what was happening.
"Um, so you two were really close back then?"
Hearing Mu Liuyun's strange tone, Shi Hengyu frowned: "If you have any questions, just ask them directly. Don't be so sarcastic."
"Hey, I wasn't being sarcastic at all. I was just curious why, even though I accompanied Xiaoyu home so many times, I never saw Xiaohao back home when he was crying and begging to go home?"
Shi Hengyu didn't say anything, but just looked at Mu Liuyun with disgust.
Seeing that her sarcastic remarks had no effect, Mu Liuyun straightened her expression and asked, "So, is Lin Jianglu your white moonlight?"
"So the reason you can pass through a sea of flowers without a single petal clinging to you is because you want to forget your white moonlight but can't?"
"So, you suddenly went to work in Shaxian because there's someone there who looks a lot like your white moonlight?"
A barrage of questions left Shi Hengyu utterly astonished: "Holy crap? You're that smart?"
Shi Hengyu thought he had hidden everything well, but he didn't expect that Mu Liuyun had already seen through everything.
Mu Liuyun shook her finger: "I had no idea! I already know who your white moonlight substitute is!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Hengyu felt a chill run down his spine, as if someone were blowing cold air on his neck from behind, chilling him from his back to his heart.
If Mu Liuyun really finds out, regardless of whether he can accept it or not, their relationship can never go back to the way it was.
Thinking of this, she lowered her head in frustration: "You still found out... I'm sorry, I thought I could handle it."
"It's that beautiful female boss from Shaxian, isn't it!"
This unexpected answer brought Hua Hengyu, who was about to turn against him, back to the embrace of light. He wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said in a monotone tone, "Oh, you really figured it out. Xiaoyun is so smart."
Mu Liuyun tilted her head back triumphantly, as if the troubles she had recently encountered were nothing: "Are you kidding me? Who do you think I am? I am Lady Mu Liuyun!"
"Wow! Lady Mu Liuyun is amazing!"
Immediately afterwards, Mu Liuyun's expression turned serious: "But I still suggest that if you really like someone, go for it. If you're just using someone as a substitute, it's best to let go sooner rather than later."
"After all, being a stand-in isn't a pleasant experience."
Looking at Mu Liuyun's serious yet slightly hurt expression, Shi Hengyu felt like he was a bastard, the worst kind of bastard.
So many years have passed, and he can no longer figure out how he really sees Mu Liuyun.
Is the person sitting next to him his good brother Mu Liuyun, or his first love Lin Jianglu?
Okay, I understand.
I know nothing!
Shi Hengyu glanced at the red dot on his phone, the location of which was named Lin Jianglu, and cursed himself inwardly.
Twenty minutes later, the two returned to Qianxiao Commercial Center.
As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Long Haochen waving frantically at him.
"Brother Mu, Brother Mu! Hurry, hurry!"
Although he looked excited, Long Haochen didn't make a sound; it was Shi Hengyu who translated the sentence for him.
Mu Liuyun quickly went over, and under Long Haochen's influence, she whispered like a spy making a rendezvous: "What big news is it that makes you so excited!"
Long Haochen's dark circles were even worse than in the morning, but the light in his eyes was brighter than ever.
He excitedly took out his phone, opened a photo, and placed it in front of Mu Liuyun.
"Brother Mu, look at this!"
Mu Liuyun looked down and saw that the photo was undoubtedly of Liu Kun. He was standing at the entrance of Mama's Taste, surrounded by several young boys and girls, and several bodyguards.
"What's wrong with that?"
Mu Liuyun couldn't quite understand. These people clearly looked like adults, and they seemed very happy. Even if they went in with Liu Kun, it wouldn't have much of an impact.
"Brother Mu, what are you thinking about? Take another look at this!"
As he spoke, Long Haochen opened a recruitment website, which displayed job openings for foreign workers.
This is a perfectly normal thing, but what's suspicious is that the wages offered here are several times higher than those for domestic workers, and they even say that if you work for a certain number of years, you'll get a local house as a gift.
With such benefits, if Mu Liuyun hadn't become Chu Yaqin's secretary, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist.
More importantly, the interview location in this job posting is none other than "Mom's Taste" right here in front of us.
"Brother Mu, those guys went in and never came out. I'm sure they're going to be sold to a brothel!"
Long Haochen could barely control his voice; he had been in a state of excitement ever since he saw the job posting.
No wonder, no wonder the Liu family, which used to be on par with the Long family, was able to rise to prominence in such a short time. So that's what they relied on!
