“No.” Han Muzi shook her head. “It was not me who was injured.”
Hearing that, Leng Yueyue widened her eyes doubtfully. “I heard from Yan that you were not injured, but I also heard that Lin Qingqing splashed sulfuric acid. That woman is really terrifying. We must never take clients like her in the future.”
“Client?” Han Muzi whispered the two words before showing a faint smile. “Of course not. Even if she wants to be our client in the future, she probably won’t stand a chance.”
Lin Qingqing had hurt people using sulfuric acid this time. Even though she was not injured, Ye Moxuan was.
According to Ye Moxuan’s temperament, he would definitely not let her go. Besides, even if he didn’t take any revenge, Han Muzi would not let her go. The thought of Ye Moxuan’s injuries on the back had infuriated her inexplicably.
“What do you mean by this? Have you figured out a way?”
“She has hurt people deliberately, so she deserves to go to jail. Without me doing anything, I’m sure someone will settle the score with her.” After Han Muzi finished speaking, she suddenly felt a little pain in her eyebrows, and she reached out her hand to pinch her eyebrows hard.
Upon seeing this, Leng Yueyue said softly, “Did you not sleep well last night? I have some medicated oil here. You might feel better after dabbing a little on your forehead.” With that, Leng Yueyue opened her bag, took out a bottle of medicated oil, and handed it to Han Muzi.
After glancing at the bottle of medicated oil, Han Muzi’s eyebrows wrinkled subconsciously. She did not like its smell. Hence, she didn’t reach out to pick it up. Instead, she just smiled at Leng Yueyue. “Thank you, but I’m fine. I’ll be fine after a while.”
Leng Yueyue stared at her for a while before asking quickly, “You don’t like the smell of this, do you? Don’t worry. I didn’t like it at first too, but this is really good. Let me apply it for you.” After speaking, she opened the lid of the oil directly and then wiped a bit on her hand before walking forward to dab on both sides of Han Muzi’s forehead.
Han Muzi was quite annoyed at such behavior since she was not so close with Leng Yueyue, and yet the latter was so brazen with her actions.
However, although Han Muzi was annoyed, she still didn’t show it on her face. She knew that Leng Yueyue meant well, so if she showed her impatience at this moment, it would be very hurtful.
When Leng Yueyue retreated, she smiled at her. “Try it. You’ll probably be fine after a while.”
Han Muzi also smiled at her. “Thank you.”
Leng Yueyue looked away shyly. However, she suddenly thought of something and uttered indignantly, “T-This doesn’t show that I care about you. I-I’m just worried that your mind is not clear, and you can’t work properly.”
At exactly this time, the elevator door opened, and Leng Yueyue rushed out.
Han Muzi fell silent.
When she returned to the office, Yan happened to be working at her desk. When she saw that Han Muzi had come back, she immediately stood up. “My God, I thought you were going to stay in the hospital for the entire day. So you do know when to come back.”
Hearing her teasing, Han Muzi couldn’t help glaring at her. “What? Don’t you feel sorry for me for staying in the hospital for the entire day? And you’re even making fun of me?”
“Oh, I wouldn’t dare.” Yan grinned from ear to ear. “You were only staying in the hospital; you’re not the one who feels the pain yourself. So why should I feel sorry for you?”
“Oh, don’t you think that I’ll be at least tired?” With that, Han Muzi stretched out her hand and squeezed her neck and shoulders. After sleeping on a chair last night, she felt sore all over her body. Until now, her spine still felt uncomfortable.
“Alright, I was just joking with you. If I didn’t feel sorry for you, I wouldn’t have been in your office to handle the work for you. You can go back today. Just leave everything to me and take a good rest. I know you will definitely go to the hospital in the evening.”
Han Muzi didn’t know what to reply. She had a shrewd feeling that she was being tricked. Thinking of this, she put her hand in the pocket and narrowed her eyes at Yan.
Yan smiled. “What now? Am I wrong? He took the bullet for you like this. So when are you going to say yes to—”
“Yan!” Before she could finish her sentence, Han Muzi interrupted her solemnly.
Yan stuck out her tongue and uttered nothing else. After a long time, she spoke, “Alright, alright. I will take care of the things here, and I will also take care of Little Bean. You should go back and rest first. I have already made your bed last night. When you reach home, you can straightaway shower and sleep.” With that, Yan walked over and gave her a key. “This is the key to the lock that was recently installed; I haven’t given it to you. You’ll keep this pair. Later, I will send you the passcode via WeChat. Delete it after you read it.”
Han Muzi nodded. “Okay, have the police been here today?”
“No. It’s still too early. But, they called President Han last night. I don’t know exactly what they said, but… I believe Lin Qingqing’s path does not look too well.”
Han Muzi remained quiet upon hearing that. “Alright, then. I’ll go back to shower and rest. If something comes up, just call me.”
“Don’t worry.”
After Han Muzi finished giving them some orders, she left the company. She originally wanted to go back to the Han Residence, but now that she had her own house, she would go back there instead. Besides, she figured that Han Qing might still be sulking.
The new house was very quiet. As there were no maids, she was the only one in the empty house.
Han Muzi went upstairs to her room and opened her wardrobe. After taking out a set of pajamas, she took a bath.
After taking a hot bath, she felt that the soreness in her whole body had disappeared a lot. Later, when she was drying her hair with a towel, she realized that her phone was vibrating. She glanced at the caller ID and realized it was Lin Xinghuo. Why is this girl calling me?
Thinking of this, Han Muzi answered the phone. “Hello?”
“Oh, Muzi, you’ve finally answered the phone!” Lin Xinghuo sounded anxious.
Han Muzi frowned slightly, but she did not stop towel-drying her hair. “What’s up?”
Lin Xinghuo spoke anxiously, “I heard what Lin Qingqing did. Are you fine?”
“Yeah, I’m all good.” Han Muzi gave her a direct answer.
Hearing that, Lin Xinghuo was finally relieved. After a while, she became nervous again.
“I called my cousin, but she didn’t answer at all. I told you the other day that she was up to no good and asked you to beware of her.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Lin Xinghuo continued, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t expect that you and her would have such a grudge. It was all my fault that this happened. If I hadn’t introduced her to you as a client, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Hearing this, Han Muzi quickly recapped about everything that had happened before and replied gently, “It’s not your fault at all. Even without you, as long as she has a blind date with Ye Moxuan, she would have still found trouble with me.”
After all, a leopard never changes its spots.
