At noon, Mu Liuyun, whose stomach was growling with hunger, got out of bed.
Looking at the cold, lifeless bed beside her, Mu Liuyun felt a pang of disappointment, but quickly recovered.
After receiving Chu Yaqin's answer, Mu Liuyun, who was feeling a little sad, was fine after a good night's sleep.
As a mature man who never covets what doesn't belong to him, Mu Liuyun felt that he had crossed the line this time, overstepped his bottom line.
He opened his phone, where he found a message from Shi Hengyu, which briefly described their experience last night and their plans for tonight.
After confirming that Shi Hengyu and the others were not in danger, Mu Liuyun prepared to go to Jincheng Institute of Technology to find Mu Xiaoxi.
On one hand, Mu Liuyun was worried that Mu Xiaoxi would be implicated because of her. On the other hand, Mu Xiaoxi hadn't been coming home for the past few days.
With Grandpa Mu away abroad and not at home, Mu Liuyun has to make full use of her role as an elder.
If Mu Xiaoxi really does find a blond-haired guy with a wild temper as her boyfriend, then Mu Liuyun will have to make sure he's a good person.
If it's good, then so be it.
If it's not good, then let him taste his brother's anger!
Stepping out of the room, Mu Liuyun noticed a paper bag on the table, identical to the breakfast Li Guang had delivered the day before.
Mu Liuyun shrugged and opened the bag without any hesitation.
Previously, Mu Liuyun felt a little embarrassed about being taken care of by Chu Yaqin, but now she doesn't feel that way at all.
"If we each get what we need, then we get what we need. That's actually what I'm best at."
After eating and washing up, Mu Liuyun left home wearing work pants. Because she had been receiving a lot of attention lately, Mu Liuyun planned to call a ride-hailing service.
As he stood at the gate of the courtyard waiting for a ride-hailing car, no one else was entering or leaving the community. After all, the conditions in this community were average, and even on weekends, everyone had to find ways to increase their income.
But a short while later, a familiar figure appeared on the deserted street, causing Mu Liuyun to frown.
"Shen Jing...what is she doing here?"
Although she has encountered many things recently and her relationship with Shen Lanxin has improved, Mu Liuyun cannot forget that Shen Jing conspired with Gu Nan to harm her.
Mu Liuyun couldn't think of any other reason for appearing here at this time except to kick someone when they're down.
With other things to attend to, Mu Liuyun didn't want to deal with Chen Jing and turned to wait for the car in another place.
"Mu Liuyun!"
Mu Liuyun didn't intend to respond to Shen Jing, but Shen Jing grabbed his shoulder. He reached out and slapped Shen Jing's hand away, as if he were brushing off something dirty.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Jing was about to get angry when Mu Liuyun slapped her hand away, but when she heard Mu Liuyun's cold tone, she was stunned.
It was understandable that Mu Liuyun got angry after her rude attitude at the restaurant last time. But why is Mu Liuyun acting like she's on fire the moment they meet today?
Recalling how obedient Mu Liuyun was when she was still Shen Lanxin's stand-in, Shen Jing felt inexplicably disappointed, but she quickly recovered, after all, she had important business to discuss with Mu Liuyun.
"I saw what happened online."
Mu Liuyun glanced at Chen Jing sideways.
With things spreading this far, it would be hard not to see them.
"Your situation has affected many people. President Shen has been so busy these past two days that he hasn't even had time to eat. Brother Nan... Young Master Gu is very worried about her. No matter how he invites her, she refuses. It's all because of you."
Mu Liuyun was stunned. Yesterday, she saw Shen Lanxin chatting with the old man at her house. After chatting, she even stayed for dinner. She didn't seem like she was too busy to eat.
And how could this be because of him?
Shen Lanxin, who is only focused on her work and Ace's affections, would never have time to know what he was going through.
"Yeah, probably."
Hearing Mu Liuyun's casual dismissive tone, Shen Jing thought she had convinced Mu Liuyun: "Hmph, it's good that you know you're wrong. Although Young Master Gu is also angry, he understands you. He wants to invite you to dinner and help you solve the problems you're currently facing."
In truth, Shen Jing was completely helpless regarding Mu Liuyun's troubles. After all, her usual work didn't involve public opinion.
So it was only after Gu Nan told her he had a solution that she invited Mu Liuyun to dinner, and incidentally, she ended Mu Liuyun's feelings for Shen Lanxin.
"You have a point, but let's forget about it. Eating with Gu Nan makes me think of my last experience, and it makes me feel nauseous."
"What do you mean by this! Brother Nan was just trying to help you out of kindness, and you're mocking him!"
Enraged by Mu Liuyun's indifferent attitude, Shen Jing repeatedly berated Mu Liuyun. Just as Mu Liuyun was getting increasingly annoyed, a familiar Ferrari pulled up in front of him.
The car owner rolled down the window, revealing a slightly weathered face; it was Zhang Rui, the Lin family's butler.
Zhang Rui frowned as he looked at Shen Jing and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Brother Yun, are you in trouble?"
"What's wrong with you, Brother Zhang? What brings you here?"
Hearing Mu Liuyun say this, Zhang Rui didn't ask any further questions: "Lulu misses you, and since the boss is home, she'd like to see you too, and also..."
The unspoken meaning is self-evident.
Mu Liuyun nodded. Anyway, there was no rush to find Mu Xiaoxi. She was probably still in class at this time, so it wouldn't hurt to go with Zhang Rui first.
Moreover, he also really wanted to meet Boss Lin, who looked exactly like him.
So, Mu Liuyun got into the Ferrari, didn't even glance at Chen Jing, and left the scene.
Throughout the entire process, Shen Jing didn't say a word, but instead looked as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
As the secretary specially trained for Shen Lanxin by the Shen family, she had memorized almost all the wealthy families in Jincheng from their photos. Apart from the Lin family, who were usually elusive, Shen Jing was confident that she could recognize all the important figures.
As for the Ferrari and Zhang Rui's identity, she naturally recognized them as well.
"Why, why does he know Zhang Rui from the Lin family!"
After Mu Liuyun followed Zhang Rui to the Lin family home, she discovered that Lin Hongmei had left because of an urgent matter. After chatting with Zhang Rui about what had happened to her, Mu Liuyun spent a long time playing with Lulu.
Cargo pants are more durable than other pants, and Mu Liuyun and Lulu are having more and more fun with them.
"Brother Zhang, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
It wasn't until after 4 p.m., when Lulu, exhausted from playing, fell into a deep sleep, that Mu Liuyun got up and left.
Zhang Rui pulled Mu Liuyun aside and said in a consoling tone, "Brother Yun, what you've encountered this time is not so simple. It's not just the Liu family behind it; the Lin family may also be adding fuel to the fire. So, the boss and I can't take action. The only thing we can guarantee is your and your sister's personal safety."
"That's enough."
After thanking her, Mu Liuyun left the Lin family villa and headed towards Jincheng University of Technology.
What he didn't notice was that a wooden sign he had casually put in his pants had fallen out of his overalls and into the pile of toys while he was playing with Lulu.
