In the afternoon, Mu Xiaocheng stayed home, brainstorming ideas for a new chapter of her comic. Meng Yun and Meng Xunqian were at the hospital, while Zhou Ningyi went shopping with some of her girlfriends.
A rare moment of peace and quiet at home.
Mu Xiaocheng was focused on drawing when the voice of the butler, Uncle Yuan, rang out from outside the door.
"Miss, there is a Mr. Chi outside looking for you."
Mu Xiaocheng put down her paintbrush, frowned, and asked, "The one surnamed Chi?"
She doesn't know anyone with the surname Chi.
Mu Xiaocheng opened the door and asked suspiciously, "What did he say he came for?"
Uncle Yuan carefully recalled what Mr. Chi had said earlier, and his scarred face.
He said he came to apologize.
Apologize?
Mu Xiaocheng was even more confused now.
"Please let him in. I'll wait for him in the lobby."
"Yes." Uncle Yuan nodded, then quickly walked out.
Mu Xiaocheng poured herself a glass of hot water and sat on the sofa in the living room. As she was drinking it, she saw Uncle Yuan lead a man dressed in casual clothes into the room.
The man's face was covered in scars, with two bandages on his cheeks. Despite his injuries, the basic outline of his face was still visible. He had regular features, fair skin, and was quite handsome.
His eyes were long and narrow, carrying a hint of evil and arrogance.
This person… Mu Xiaocheng was quite certain that she didn’t know him.
As soon as Chi Yan entered, he saw Mu Xiaocheng and quickly walked over, then shouted, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong!"
The sound and tone were so pitiful!
It sounds very sincere.
He was practically kneeling down and kowtowing to admit his mistake.
"Pfft~" Mu Xiaocheng, who was drinking water, couldn't help but spit it out when she heard this.
Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law?
Who is the sister-in-law?
"W-Mr. Chi? Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else? Or perhaps you should get a head CT scan?"
Hearing Mu Xiaocheng ask this question, Chi Yan's lips twitched.
Damn, is my sister-in-law indirectly saying that he's mentally unstable?!
Sigh~
Even though he knew his sister-in-law was scolding him, he didn't dare to do anything. After all, he was thinking about his brother's sharp eyes and the moves he used when he hit him.
Just thinking about it hurts.
We can't afford to mess with them.
Chi Yan lowered her eyes and obediently moved to Mu Xiaocheng's side.
Head bowed, eyes sincere.
Mu Xiaocheng was a little scared.
Is this guy sure he didn't escape from some hospital?
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Chi Yan, and I'm Ji Huaishen's good buddy."
Ji Huaishen's buddy?
"And then?" Mu Xiaocheng raised an eyebrow. Why did this guy apologize right away?
Chi Yan smiled somewhat embarrassedly, her narrow phoenix eyes narrowing slightly with an apologetic expression.
"Um, those two people who robbed you today, I arranged it."
Mu Xiaocheng stood up, frowning unhappily.
"You arranged this? What grudge do you have against me? Or are you...?"
At this point, Mu Xiaocheng stopped.
Looking back on the actions of those two big, silly guys, they seemed so naive and foolish; they didn't really want to kill her.
Could it be for...?
"You want to test me?" Mu Xiaocheng's words hit the nail on the head, her voice suddenly turning cold.
Chi Yan, somewhat embarrassed by Mu Xiaocheng's words, scratched his head.
This sister-in-law is so smart!
I guessed it right away.
"I heard you're going to marry my brother, so I want to see what kind of woman is good enough for him."
"My brother has already reprimanded me, so I came here specifically to apologize to you."
As Chi Yan spoke, her tone even sounded somewhat aggrieved.
Mu Xiaocheng looked at his injuries and realized that he was badly hurt!
"Ji Huaishen beat him up?"
She pointed to Chi Yan's face and asked uncertainly.
Chi Yan nodded reluctantly, "Mmm."
"That was pretty heavy-handed, huh?" Mu Xiaocheng said casually.
Who would have thought that beneath Ji Huaishen's elegant and composed exterior lay such violence!
