Ye You Ran left the hotel and returned home. On the way home, she realized that she had done something wrong on the spur of the moment. How was she going to explain her relationship with Mu Jin Yang to the manager?
The next day when she went to the company, her heart was in turmoil. She was afraid that the manager would ask about her relationship with Mu Jinyang, but everything was different from what she expected. The manager treated her like usual.
Ye You Ran let out a sigh of relief. She was secretly glad that she had met a pretty good manager, but she didn't know that the manager wasn't gossiping at all, instead she didn't dare to ask. Last night, after she was taken away by Mu Jinyang, Liu Jian had specifically talked to the manager, implying that the manager should treat her better.
This was a great thing. With Liu Jian protecting him, his performance would definitely go up by a level. The manager wasn't an idiot. Earning money was the way to go. As for gossip, that was the way to go!
At lunchtime, Ye You Ran received a call from Tian Wan Rou. He realized that the jade pendant on his neck had been missing because that beast Mu Jin Yang had ripped it off when he was taking off her clothes in the bathroom. The jade pendant must have been left behind by her mother.
Ye You Ran went to the coffee shop beside the company and met with Tian Wan Rou, who passed the jade pendant to Ye You Ran. Ye You Ran thanked her and took the pendant and was about to put it in her bag when Tian Wan Rou suddenly reminded her, "Sister Ye, don't you want to take a look?"
"What are you looking at?" Ye You Ran was stunned.
"Aren't you afraid of being swapped out by me?" Tian Wan Rou asked half-jokingly.
"Miss Tian, you must be joking. I believe in Miss Tian's character."
Tian Wan Rou asked again, "This jade pendant looks very valuable, it should be very valuable. Is it a family heirloom?"
Ye Yulan smiled, "It is not worth much, but it is indeed very valuable for me. After all, this is my mother's inheritance. Thank you so much, Miss Tian."
The words' mother's inheritance 'moved Tian WanRou's heart, "Sister Ye's mother is from Southern City, right?"
"A native of Southern City!" Ye Yulan answered.
"Where is South City from?" Tian Wan Rou asked again. Ye You Ran told her the name patiently. Tian Wan Rou became addicted to it. "Sister Ye's mother, do you have any relatives in the Southern City?"
Ye You Ran was annoyed by the question about the household registration. She was grateful that Tian Wan Rou returned the jade pendant, but it didn't mean that she liked Tian Wan Rou and wanted to talk about family matters with her.
The two of them were currently lovers of Mu Jinyang. It was disgusting to think of the two lovers drinking tea and chatting together. He then said impolitely, "If there's anything urgent, I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, Miss Tian!"
Ye You Ran left hurriedly with the jade. Tian Wan Rou frowned as she didn't expect Ye You Ran's jade was her mother's inheritance. Why would Ye You Ran's mother's inheritance be the same as her own? Was there a connection between her mother and Ye You Ran's mother?
Ever since her adoptive parents told her the secret of their past, she had never given up trying to find her biological mother. Although she was upset that she left her in an orphanage, Tian Wanrou had always believed that she had her own difficulties. Mother love was great, and no mother would be willing to abandon their children.
She hadn't given up searching all these years, but her ability was limited, and the only clue she had of her mother was a jade pendant. The world was so big, and she had always felt that it was so remote.
However, she had not expected to discover such an important clue. The two identical pendants were left behind by her mother. Could it be that she had something to do with Ye You Ran?
Not long after Tian Wan Rou returned to the company, Mu Jinyang called her and told her to go to his office. He had an ugly expression on his face, "Why are you looking for Ye You Ran?"
"I …" Tian Wan Rou hesitated. Should she tell Mu Jin Yang about this?
Having known Mu Jinyang for such a long time, he had never asked her about her situation. Furthermore, she had never taken the initiative to tell him that today's matter was a little tricky to deal with, and it wouldn't be easy for her to find out the truth.
Therefore, Tian Wan Rou told Mu Jin Yang about the jade pendant. Mu Jin Yang was obviously surprised, as he had gone to find Tian Wan Rou because she looked very similar to Ye You Ran. Now that he had heard Tian Wan Rou say this, he looked at her more carefully, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was similar to Ye You Ran.
Was Tian Wan's relationship with Ye You Ran really that simple? He had to investigate this matter properly.
When Ye You Ran got home from work, there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine coming from the house. She had been married to Mu Jinyang for three years and drank enough of the Chinese medicine, so she almost vomited upon smelling the smell. She tried to control her nausea and asked, "Aunt Lan, who is sick?"
Liu Shufen, who was sitting on the sofa, replied, "No one is sick. It's Fei Fei who is drinking the tonic."
Then he added, "Jin Yang said Fei Fei was too thin, so he went to look for a famous doctor to prescribe some tonics."
Ye You Ran was not a fool. She went upstairs with a faint smile and heard Xia Fei Fei instructing Aunt Lan, "Look carefully. Jin Yang said that he had spent a lot of energy on this herbal medicine. It's hard to get a thousand gold."
Ye You Ran sneered in her heart. She closed the door and shut off all of Xia Fei Fei's ostentation. She didn't feel sad, but her heart was still moved.
She sat on the sofa in her bedroom and let out a heavy sigh. Her phone rang and Ye You Ran picked up. Mu Jin Yang's voice came, "When did you move over?"
Ye Yulan was silent for a moment before replying, "Tomorrow."
She had already missed a chance. This time, she had to make the best use of her time. No matter how disgusting she felt when she saw that surnamed Mu, it couldn't compare to the Chinese medicine in the room that made her feel uncomfortable.
After such a period of marriage, she had already developed a deep fear of the taste of Chinese medicine! Mu Jinyang was quite satisfied with her reply and his tone was very gentle. He told her to tell him when she was moving house that he was coming to pick her up.
Ye You Ran replied that there was no need to go through so much trouble. It was just that being sentimental wasn't necessary to get married. He didn't need to personally step in. All he needed to do was for Liu Jian to deliver the key to her company.
Mu Jinyang was infuriated by her reply, so he ended the call.
Ye You Ran moved into Xiangshan Valley the next day. When they moved out of the Xia family, she told Xia Zhengang that she was going back to accompany Ye Wen Hui for a few days. Xia Zhengang didn't stop her and told her to stay for a few days before coming back.
Liu Shufen and her daughter were all smiles when they saw her leaving. Now that the eyesore was gone, their home could finally be at peace for a while.
The Xiangshan Valley had once been the topic of conversation among the people of Nancheng after the construction of the villa. However, Ye You Ran didn't know that when Mu Jin Yang was building the villa, she had been troubled by her daily life and wasn't in the mood to pay attention to it.
After opening the door, the scene inside shocked her. That Mu girl actually brought such a beautiful place for her to take care of her. This was such a big deal.
Ye You Ran had only brought a few change clothes and personal belongings. When she came here, she had already thought that if she was lucky, she would be able to stay here for a month.
Opening the shoe cabinet, she saw the fluffy cartoon slippers. A mocking smile appeared on her face. Back in the day, when she and Mu Jinyang were living together, she loved to buy cartoon items.
Slippers and pajamas, including cups, all liked cartoons. At one point, Mu Jinyang protested, thinking that things that liked cartoons were too childish. Now that he saw the cartoon slippers in the shoe cabinet, Ye You Ran thought he was seeing things.
After all these years of wandering, she was no longer the girl who loved dreams and fantasies, but an experienced woman. Life was so cruel that it forced her to change her habits and her personality.
Ye You Ran didn't use Mu Jin Yang's slippers. Instead, he changed into his own. Mu Jin Yang was so dirty. Who knew if his things were clean or not?
Ye You Ran carried her luggage upstairs and opened the suitcase. She took out her clothes and hung them up in the closet. Opening the closet, she was startled to see that it was a cartoon pajamas.
Ye You Ran smiled bitterly. He picked a place to hang his clothes, then put his toiletries in the bathroom. Looking at the cartoon cup in the bathroom, she shook her head. Life is like a fucking farce.
After putting her things away, she prepared to tidy up her room. However, she heard the sound of brakes from outside. It was very clear that Mu Jinyang had arrived. This Mu Jinyang had arrived rather quickly!
Mu Jin Yang came in. He seemed to be in a good mood, but after seeing the big grey slippers on Ye You Ran's feet, his expression changed. "Don't you have slippers in the shoe cabinet?"
The man surnamed Mu was really funny. Was he supposed to care what she wore? Ye You Ran was not happy with the response. He replied in a stiff tone, "Get used to using your own things."
Ye You Ran was clearly challenging him. Mu Jin Yang suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said, "Let's go eat!"
Ye You Ran didn't say anything as he walked towards the door. Mu Jin Yang was stunned for a moment as he followed her. After getting in the car, Mu Jin Yang naturally reached out his hand to buckle her seat belt while Ye You Ran tied it in front of him. Feeling embarrassed, he placed his hand on the steering wheel and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever." Ye You Ran replied indifferently. His gaze was fixated at the window. Mu Jin Yang frowned, "There is no such dish."
"Whatever Mister Mu eats, I'll eat. I'm not picky with food." He started the car, and found a tasty Sichuan cuisine nearby. Although Ye You Ran wasn't a picky eater, she still had a soft spot for the Ma La. Thus, they decided to eat their first meal tonight.
As the car drove on, the atmosphere inside the car was very quiet. Ye You Ran kept looking at the street outside, without even looking at Mu Jin Yang. This was a huge contrast from how it used to be.
Mu Jinyang felt bad and was about to speak when his phone rang. Mu Jinyang picked it up and heard Xia Feifei's gentle and coquettish tone, "Jin Yang, this medicine is so bitter!"
Mu Jinyang's voice was very gentle, "Good medicine, drink it obediently. This medicine is to heal your body …"
Ye You Ran didn't want to hear his tender words, but since they were in a car, it was impossible for them to avoid it. Hearing Mu Jin Yang gently let Xia Fei Fei drink the medicine, she felt like her heart was missing a piece.
