Chapter Seventeen: The Final Shopping Frenzy
Mu Qingyu wants to empty this place!
The reason she was able to enter the house so easily today was not only because she had a key to the house, but also because none of the Mu family members were home.
Mu Xiangbei was in his mistress's bed, and no one knew what Mu Xiangnan's family was doing. Only two maids and Mu Qingrong were left at home; the maids had long since gone to sleep.
Taking advantage of the space, Mu Qingyu first emptied Mu Qingrong's room, which contained every detail of Mu Qingrong's life and everything he liked. She planned to restore his room when the time was right.
Then, with a mischievous mindset, they began to clean up everything in the main house, and most importantly, to empty the rooms of the Mu family members!
By the end, Mu Qingyu had become so engrossed in the cleaning that she didn't leave anything out, not only the servants' rooms but also the pots and pans in the kitchen! Her main goal was to make the Mu family miserable!
"Sis, if you don't come soon, I'm going to go downstairs to look for you."
As soon as Mu Qingyu got back into the car, Mu Qingrong said anxiously.
At this moment, Mu Qingyu's face was filled with an uncontrollable smile. No wonder mischievous kids always love playing pranks; the feeling can be summed up in one word—爽 (shuang, meaning awesome/satisfying)!
Mu Qingyu reached out and ruffled Mu Qingrong's soft hair before starting the car.
"Sister, what good thing happened?" Mu Qingrong was puzzled. He could see that Mu Qingyu was in a good mood, but he didn't know what she was happy about.
"Yes, I'm so happy to have you here." Mu Qingyu didn't mention the emptying of the main house. "I'm going to secretly hide you away. Your dad will be furious tomorrow if he can't find you!"
No one but Mu Qingyu knows about the matter concerning villas 3 and 4. Where can the Mu family find her?
With only six days left until the apocalypse, even if the Mu family uses their connections to find her, it will likely be difficult to locate her before then. Moreover, if she remembers correctly, a typhoon is coming the day after tomorrow, and floods will inundate the city.
The city's traffic was thus paralyzed, and the prelude to the apocalypse began.
The siblings left the villa area and went to Grandpa Mu's grave that very night as a farewell. Mu Qingyu knew that after this parting, there would probably be no one to even weed the grave anymore.
So Mu Qingyu brought her cousin here to say a final goodbye to this elder with whom she had a shallow connection, but who had been kind to her in a rare way.
At Grandpa Mu's grave, Mu Qingrong wept bitterly. Mu Qingyu offered no comfort or words, but led Mu Qingrong in lighting incense, kowtowing, and burning paper money, silently reciting farewell words in her heart.
As dawn broke, the siblings, soaked to the bone, returned to the car. Mu Qingyu took Mu Qingrong back to Villa No. 3.
"Sister, did you buy this house?" Mu Qingrong was extremely curious about everything here. After all, the walls were so high, the doors so thick, and the windows were all fitted with steel bars... It looked a bit like a high-security prison...
"It's rented, but we can stay for a long time." Mu Qingyu didn't explain much, and led Mu Qingrong to the second floor, pointing to the master bedroom and saying to him, "From now on, this is your room."
After settling Mu Qingrong in, the two of them took a hot shower. Then Mu Qingyu called Mu Qingrong over and brought out all of Mu Qingrong's "assets," piling them on the bed in Mu Qingrong's room.
When they were at the Mu family's house, Mu Qingrong insisted on taking these things with her, but here, she didn't care about them as much: "Sister, if you want these things, you can take them all. Those bonds are bearer bonds. For the equity transfer, just call Lawyer Zhou and we can sign an agreement."
"I don't need any of the jewelry my mom left me, being a man, so you can take it all if you like. I also have a bank card with several million in it, all my savings from over the years. The password is my birthday." Mu Qingrong, who had just showered and changed her clothes, her hair still wet and not yet dried, squatted on the bed and said to Mu Qingyu with sincere eyes like a puppy.
While Mu Qingyu was touched, she was also speechless. Was her cousin being a little too naive and kind?
But that doesn't make sense! Mu Xiangbei has been trying for so many years, and he still hasn't managed to get these things out of Mu Qingrong's hands. And Mu Qingrong, even after the apocalypse in her previous life, wasn't so easily fooled!
Mu Qingyu was completely baffled, so she simply stopped thinking about it. These suddenly extra things were best dealt with as soon as possible—converted into money, then into supplies! Otherwise, when the apocalypse came, they would all be worthless!
So, Mu Qingyu didn't say much and accepted everything. She picked out a few valuable and beautiful pieces of jewelry and put them in a box. In the future, if Mu Qingrong had a girlfriend, she would give these things to her.
Jewelry is worthless in the apocalypse, but it is still a ritual and a memento.
Mu Qingyu instructed Mu Qingrong that the stocks did not need to be transferred to her. She told Mu Qingrong to sell them all as soon as the stock market opened during the day, no matter how much they cost.
Then Mu Qingyu drove out early in the morning! She didn't know that Mu Qingrong had such a large amount of assets. Now that the apocalypse is approaching, she needs to quickly turn all this money into material goods!
She didn't intend to keep these supplies for herself! She only intended to safeguard them for Mu Qingrong. If Mu Qingrong continued to live with her, then whatever she had, he would inevitably have too.
If Mu Qingrong ever decides to leave and become independent, she will find a way to return all the supplies to him.
Mu Qingyu drove straight to the familiar trading center. Now, besides Boss Zhao, she was also familiar with several other bosses there, so she went directly there to pick up her goods.
