Chapter 13 Misunderstanding
"Didn't you arrange someone to be my designer assistant last week? She hasn't shown up yet, so I wanted to ask what's going on."
"She hasn't gone yet?"
Song Rui had the impression that Mu Nanyan was a pure female college student who seemed easy to talk to. It was arranged last week, so she shouldn't be late. He didn't know what went wrong.
"Yes, I've been waiting for him downstairs for two hours, but she hasn't shown up."
"You go back to work first. I'll tell Mr. Lu about this and see how he handles it."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Special Assistant Song."
After Song Rui hung up the phone, he went straight to the president's office.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Enter."
Lu Yiran heard a knock on the door and answered it lightly. He looked up and saw that it was Song Rui, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Lu, my wife..."
"I don't have a wife. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Song Rui was interrupted by Lu Yiran before he finished speaking. Seeing that Lu Yiran was unhappy, Song Rui quickly changed his words:
"Yes, Mr. Lu, Miss Mu did not come to the company today."
"Not coming?"
"Yes, the director of the design department just called me and said that no one has come yet."
"Didn't she get up early this morning and dress up beautifully? Didn't she go out with me? How could she not come? Or was she not going to come to the company today? Was she going to meet someone else?"
Thinking of this, Lu Yiran's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Mu Nanyan, you're really great. You were the one who asked me for this position in the first place, but now you're just not coming. You think I, Lu Yiran, am I? It's funny, isn't it!"
Lu Yiran was really angry this time. He didn't expect Mu Nanyan to be such a person. But his face was still calm and he said to Song Rui:
"I understand. You can go out now."
Song Rui was also a little confused now. He didn't know what the president meant, whether to keep the position vacant or to replace someone. Although President Lu did not recognize Mu Nanyan's identity, she was indeed Mrs. Lu now. If they became together in real life in the future, he would definitely be punished if he made a decision rashly now. However, he felt the low pressure around him and did not dare to say anything more. He turned and left the office.
After Song Rui left, Lu Yiran wanted to call Mu Nanyan, but when he took out his cell phone, he found that he didn't have Mu Nanyan's phone number. What a miscalculation.
Then he called the mansion again, and the housekeeper answered the call.
"Master, what are your instructions?"
"Is Mu Nanyan at home?"
The housekeeper was stunned by Lu Yiran's question. Didn't the young mistress and the young master go out together? How could they be at home?
"She's not at home, Master. The mistress went out with you."
"She tells me when she gets back."
After saying that, Lu Yiran hung up the phone, put the matter behind him, and continued to work.
On the other side, Yujing Tiancheng.
The butler was still a little confused when he saw the hung up phone, not knowing what was going on, but he thought that as long as he followed the young master's instructions, he would be right.
Not long after, the housekeeper saw Mu Nanyan coming back and was about to go up to say hello, but Mu Nanyan ignored him and walked straight into the living room, then went upstairs to her room and locked the door. When Mu Nanyan walked past him, the housekeeper saw that her expression was obviously not right, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried, and her behavior today was too strange, completely different from the simple and respectful young lady before.
The housekeeper quickly called Lu Yiran again: "Hello, Master, the young mistress is back. But she doesn't seem very happy."
"What happened to her?"
The butler told Lu Yiran everything he had just seen.
"Okay, I get it. Keep an eye on her."
"I understand, Master."
Lu Yiran hung up the phone and was shocked to hear Mu Nanyan crying because she had never cried in front of him before.
"Why is she crying? Did she go out and meet the guy she likes today and get dumped?"
It's no wonder Lu Yiran thought this way. After all, for a college student like Mu Nanyan who hasn't even graduated yet, he really didn't know what else a young girl like her would cry about besides love. And Lu Yiran had heard before that her boyfriend had suddenly disappeared, and maybe he'd come back today, so she even gave up her job just to see him.
The more Lu Yiran thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct. Suddenly, he had the illusion that he was being cuckolded, and his face darkened again. He directly sent a message to Song Rui:
[Let Director Chi recruit someone new; there's no need to keep him here.]
[Okay, Mr. Lu.]
Song Rui responded quickly and got the matter done.
On the other side, Yujing Tiancheng.
Mu Nanyan returned to the bedroom and locked the door as if she had used up her last bit of strength. She leaned against the door, slowly sat down, and then burst into tears with her head in her hands.
All the emotions that had been pent up in the cafe burst out at this moment. After crying for a long time, Mu Nanyan finally calmed down. She had to find out whether her mother's death was an accident. She took a long time to calm down before she stood up again.
She walked over to the table where she was drawing her designs, sat down, and took out the things she had picked up today, placing them on the edge of the table. She took out a piece of unused drawing paper and a sketch pen and began to write and draw on the paper. She wanted to write down everything she knew and all the questions she had, so that she wouldn't forget.
Lawyer Qin said that the day after her mother made her will, she had an accident. Was this accident related to the will? After her mother made the will and it became known, someone wanted to harm her. However, her will had already been confirmed and would not be changed. Even if someone was harmed, it should have happened before her mother made the will. Thinking of this, Mu Nanyan crossed out this speculation with a pen. This speculation was not valid.
Did her mother write a will because she knew she was going to be murdered? But if she knew, why didn't she choose to save her, didn't she call the police, and instead wrote a will? Mu Nanyan couldn't figure this out, so she had to think about it another way. Didn't her mother know? Or was the car accident an accident? But why would her mother write a will, and then, for no reason, would the accident happen the next day?
Mu Nanyan's thoughts were stuck at this moment, as if she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried. She stared at what she had written for a long time, and finally focused on the word "will".
Why did my mother make a will? I am her only daughter. If she dies, who else can inherit her property besides me?
As a top student at Peking University, Mu Nanyan has some understanding of the law. After Shen Yi's death, her first-order heirs are her spouse, children, and parents.
