"I'll do my best!" she said snappily.
"I'm not trying my best, but I must do it well. Otherwise, this video might appear in my grandfather's hands, or it might even appear on the electronic screen in front of the entrance of the Lin's Building!" Qu Yiming laughed as he raised his phone.
Xu Meiyu was furious, but Qu Yiming just walked away as if nothing had happened.
After a long while, Xu Meiyu finally replied and stomped her foot. She couldn't help but think of a way to get Bai Su to agree!
Not long after, a plan suddenly occurred.
The night was indeed the best cover.
Such an earth-shattering event had happened in the courtyard, but the rest of the place was still as calm as ever.
In the Lin Clan's residence, the lamplight slowly extinguished, and everything returned to calm.
The next day, Mi Xue woke up. The half of the bed beside her was once again empty, and there was no longer any temperature. Evidently, Lin Muhan had already left for a period of time.
Mi Xue rubbed her aching head. The memories of yesterday flashed through her mind, and she thought that it might have been Lin Muhan who had carried her to bed. She could not help but blush.
He got up and saw a note on the bed.
"I'm tired, rest more. I'll give you another day off today!"
The clean and forceful handwriting was something that Lin Muhan had left behind.
The haze over the past few days seemed to have dissipated quite a bit. It was almost ten o'clock, and Michelle had nothing else to do, so she decided to go back to her old dwelling.
After tidying up properly, Michelle went out alone.
Arriving at a familiar place and looking at the tightly shut gate, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, revealing a bit of desolation.
Who bought this place and didn't have a master? Even their identity and information were so mysterious. Michelle watched quietly, and those memories came back to her again.
"Isn't this snow? It's back!" the neighbor asked, looking at Michelle, who was standing by the door.
Michelle nodded awkwardly. She had come back, but this place was no longer her home.
When she had first left, she had not told anyone that she had sold it. In the eyes of the crowd, she might have been an eyewitness, which was why she had moved.
"Aunt Liu, I'm buying vegetables." Michelle greeted her.
"Since you're back, you should stay for a meal. You haven't cleaned up in a long time, come to my house." Aunt Liu pulled Mi Xue away politely.
Michelle shook her head. "No need, I still have to go to the company later. I'm just passing by."
"Aren't you going in?" Aunt Liu asked probingly.
Looking at Mi Xue's appearance, Aunt Liu probably didn't know that she had sold this place, so she shook her head in agreement. "No."
"That's right. Hey, Brother Mi and your mom really …" Aunt Liu wanted to say something, but when she saw Mi Xue's face turn paler, she immediately shook her head. "Look at me, an old woman. Why are you saying all this?"
"No problem, Aunt Liu. You're the only one who remembers them." Michelle whispered.
"Come back and visit when you have time." Aunt Liu looked at Michelle with a trace of sympathy in her eyes.
"I should go." Mi Xue looked at the time. Aunt Liu did not ask her to stay any longer. After seeing Mi Xue leave, she looked at the destitute yard and sighed softly.
After leaving the prescription, Michelle decided that she had to buy the house no matter the cost!
Afterwards, she went to florist and bought a few potted plants, then took a taxi back to the Lin Clan Residence.
Compared to the feelings she had a few days ago, she seemed happier today.
Although the old man didn't understand why she would buy a potted plant, she still happily watched her fiddle around.
In the office of the CEO of Lin's Group, Lin Muhan was busy handling documents.
Secretary Lee stood in front of the desk, "CEO, today, Young Madam went back to her old house."
"Old dwelling?" Lin Muhan raised his head, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
"It's Mi family's old residence." Secretary Lee reported, "After that, he went to another florist and bought a few potted plants. According to the people we investigated, the florist that the Young Mistress went to find is an old acquaintance of hers, the potted plants at the Mi family mansion were all purchased from her."
Hearing these words, Lin Muhan thought back to the abnormality of Mi Xue's during this period of time, and the look in his eyes became even more serene and profound.
"CEO, the Mi family residence has been sold, but the buyer isn't willing to reveal his name. I haven't found any information yet." Secretary Lee reported with an apologetic tone.
Lin Muhan let him go out first, while he quickly linked everything together.
Everything made sense.
Dong, dong, dong!
A knock on the office door interrupted his train of thought. His expression regained its coldness as he casually said, "Come in!"
Meng Yuyan, who was dressed in her professional attire, walked in with a twist of the waist and a cup of coffee still in her hands, "Han, today is my mother's birthday. My family wants to celebrate, can you come over?"
"Sorry, I'm busy." Lin Muhan rejected him without even thinking.
"Han, we haven't met for a long time. Besides, I've already promised my parents that I will consider it as my request." Meng Yuyan blinked her large eyes as she acted coquettishly, almost going forward to pull Lin Muhan's sleeve, shaking his arm.
Lin Muhan raised his eyes, looking at the face that had once fooled him for a long time, he suddenly felt disgusted.
There were some things that had to be done after all!
He took out an exquisite velvet box from the drawer. When he saw this box, Meng Yuyan's eyes lit up.
That was what she asked Xu Meiyu to return to him the last time!
"Take this back." Lin Muhan said softly.
Meng Yuyan was overjoyed, "I'll expose myself first, in the future we can …"
"Just treat it as a gift from me to you and your future husband." Lin Muhan said coldly.
These words, were like a bucket of cold water that completely poured over Meng Yuyan's good mood and hope. She looked at Lin Muhan with disbelief as her body trembled slightly.
"I feel that Li Yijie is not bad, he suits you very well!" Her thin lips opened, as more powerful words came out of Lin Muhan's mouth.
Meng Yuyan's mind was in a mess, her heart aching.
It wasn't because she loved Lin Muhan that much, but because she had already boasted that Lin Muhan would definitely be there today.
In her opinion, with such a small request, Lin Muhan would definitely agree to it.
When she heard Li Yijie's name, Meng Yuyan immediately remembered what happened at the Lin Clan's old dwelling. Looking at Lin Muhan's face, which looked like a thousand-year-old ice mountain, she was sure that this man's anger had something to do with Li Yijie.
"Han, Li Yijie and I aren't related in any way, he's just my friend." She even forgot that this was a company, and ran forward to pull Lin Muhan away, "No, I'm not even friends with him, if you don't want to see me together with him, then I won't see him again … …"
"I think Secretary Meng is mistaken!" Lin Muhan withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, "I think Secretary Meng and Mr. Li are very compatible, treat this ring as a congratulatory gift from me!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Meng Yuyan finally understood.
Lin Muhan was sincere when she said this, not jealous as she thought!
The tree that she had relied on for so long was finally going to fall. In the future, her life would turn into a dull gray.
No, absolutely not!
Thinking about her grandfather's cold and harsh eyes, the ridiculing smiles of her other uncles and aunts, and the face of that cousin of hers, it was even more impossible for her to give up on Lin Muhan.
"Han, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me!" Meng Yuyan suddenly cried.
A clear tear ran down her cheek, the way she looked in the rain and the tears made me feel sorry for her.
Only, she did not know that Lin Muhan hated women's tears the most.
In the past, he could tolerate Meng Yuyan because he liked her, but now, he felt extremely irritated.
"Secretary Meng, it's business time now." Lin Muhan reminded her coldly.
Meng Yuyan's wailing stopped abruptly as she looked at Lin Muhan, who was going through the documents in disbelief.
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
All of these things happened too suddenly, Meng Yuyan felt like suffocating.
"Why, Han, why?" Seeing that Lin Muhan did not have a single expression, and his eyes were cold, she asked him that unwillingly.
"I've never done anything for a reason." Lin Muhan replied indifferently.
With every word, it pierced through Meng Yuyan like a sharp sword.
Now, she finally understood the pain Michelle had once felt.
"I don't believe that you would treat me like this. You once said that you would treat me well for the rest of your life." Meng Yuyan suddenly said those oaths again, seeing that Lin Muhan did not react, she could not help but say: "It must be Mi Xue, it must be her, right?"
Hearing the two words "Mi Xue", the light in Lin Muhan's eyes softened. Although it disappeared in a flash, it did not escape Meng Yuyan's eyes.
He really changed his mind!
And that person was the person she hated the most, Michelle!
Unreconciled, humiliated, jealous …
All her emotions were completely exposed at this moment. She was so jealous that she was about to go crazy!
"Han, you said, you definitely won't fall in love with her. You said that you married her because you wanted to torture her. Are you lying to me?" Meng Yuyan complained with her voice, but it was in Lin Muhan's heart as well.
In the past, he thought so too.
Being with Michelle was just revenge.
But since when did everything change? This was something he was also distressed about.
Seeing that Lin Muhan was still indifferent, Meng Yuyan was even more clear that she no longer had the original position in his heart, but how could she be willing?
Moreover, right now, she had to make Lin Muhan go to her mother's Birthday Dinner. This was specially prepared for him.
"Secretary Meng, this is my personal matter." Lin Muhan's tone became even colder.
Meng Yuyan wanted to retreat, but she knew that there was no way out.
"Han, this is the last time I'm begging you, begging you to join my mother's Birthday Dinner. You know my position in the Meng Family, if you don't go, then in the future …."
Finished speaking, Meng Yuyan secretly shed tears.
Lin Muhan frowned, although he knew that there were some things he could not do, Meng Yuyan's words made ripples appear on his body.
They were also many of the past.
Looking at his shoulders that were shaking, Lin Muhan slightly nodded, "Let's talk after work."
