Yuchi Jin hummed and squinted his eyes. “Who?”
Duanmu Xue coughed, and she uttered gently, “When I went to the company today, I found a woman who uses work as an excuse to pester Shen.”
Hearing that, Yuchi Jin wasn’t surprised. “My grandson is so outstanding; it is not surprising that many women pester him. Xuan won’t be attracted to them, so we don’t need to be bothered by this matter.”
He waved his large hands, showing that he didn’t take this seriously.
Previously, he used to be worried, but his men kept bringing him news that Ye Moxuan was pestered by ladies all the time, but he always ignored them.
Therefore, Yuchi Jin was not worried about this grandson of his, because not any woman could catch his eyes. Hence, he didn’t take Duanmu Xue’s complaint seriously.
Duanmu Xue bit her lower lip. “Grandfather Yuchi, I think that this person is not the same; she is very good-looking and pretty.”
Of course, these words didn’t come from the heart. Duanmu Xue thought that she herself was the most beautiful person, and a woman like Han Muzi certainly wouldn’t have the qualification to compete with her beauty.
However, Yuchi Jin didn’t know that Duanmu Xue had known Ye Moxuan before this, and she even came into contact with Han Muzi. She didn’t dare to expose the truth directly, so she could only use this method to attract Yuchi Jin’s attention.
But unexpectedly, Yuchi Jin waved, ignoring her concerns. “It’s alright. You are very pretty too, yet Xuan isn’t attracted to you, not to mention other people. Xue, you don’t need to worry at all.”
Biting her lower lip, Duanmu Xue begrudgingly said, “Grandfather Yuchi, this is truly different. Besides, Shen treats her differently.”
Yuchi Jin hummed in curiosity.
As expected, these words made Yuchi Jin take her seriously. Raising his thick and rough brows, he asked, “Xuan treats her differently?”
Duanmu Xue felt that her heart was racing, and she nodded her head forcefully.
“Yes, Shen treats her differently although she keeps pestering him. Based on Shen’s personality, do you think that this woman could continue working in the company?”
“No.” Yuchi Jin shook his head.
“But she could!” Her hands were put down by her side, tightly squeezing on the corner of her clothes. Unclear of whether she was nervous or mad, she growled in a trembling voice, “She keeps pestering Shen, but he didn’t throw her out; instead, he let her enter his office as she pleases.”
All of this was made up by her. She didn’t stay in the company for a long time, so nothing had happened. However, when facing an enemy, one should nip them in the bud.
It would become a trouble if that enemy was given time to grow.
“What did you say?” As expected, Yuchi Jin started to take the matter seriously and furrowed his brows deeply. “Xuan allows the woman to enter his office as she pleases?”
His expression became serious immediately.
How is this possible? When he just entered the company, I sent people to watch over him for a period of time. And every time this sort of matter occurred, Ye Moxuan behaved coldly and indifferently. How is it possible that he allows a woman to enter his office as she pleases?
Upon having such thoughts, Yuchi Jin instantly squinted his eyes, and his dark eyes, which were old and cloudy, became fierce. “Are you telling the truth? Not even a word of deception?”
Duanmu Xue’s face became pale, and then she immediately stood up with her hand raised. “Grandfather Yuchi, I don’t dare to lie to you, and I have no reasons to lie to you too. Shen treats the woman differently, and I’m… worried that Shen would be charmed by her, so I’m telling you about this.”
As she looked as though she wouldn’t dare to lie to him, he stopped staring at her and hit his walking stick heavily on the floor. In a cold voice, he said, “Alright. You shall go home first.”
“Grandfather Yuchi?” she called out.
“Xue, I’ll ask the housekeeper to send you home.”
“But…” Duanmu Xue was still hesitating. Did Grandfather Yuchi take my words seriously? Does he believe me? Will he investigate this matter?
“Go home first.” Yuchi Jin reached up to rub on the sore spot in between his eyebrows. “Don’t worry, I’ll set things straight for you. You are the future wife of my grandson that I personally acknowledge, so there is no one else except you who is worthy to have this position. Are you reassured now?”
Since Yuchi Jin said so, Duanmu Xue had nothing to worry and nodded excitedly.
“Thank you, Grandfather Yuchi. I will go home first. Please take care of yourself.”
Duanmu Xue left with a smug apparent on her lips.
Heh, Han Muzi… Regardless of the identity you used to stay by Shen’s side, with only my words, I can make your plan go in vain without any chance of a comeback.
Yuchi Jin’s acknowledgement really saved her a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, she would’ve needed to take effort to deal with Han Muzi herself. That would have been troublesome!
It seems that I’ll need to treat Grandfather Yuchi better.
As long as Grandfather Yuchi finds out that the person is Han Muzi, he would definitely take action.
When Duanmu Xue reached home, she was in high spirits while she held the hem of her skirt and hummed while dancing her way forward.
Her steps were light as she had learned to dance from a young age. She was a great performer, but she wasn’t interested in competitions, so she danced just for fun.
It was rare of her to be in a good mood, so she couldn’t hold back herself and started dancing.
“Xue.” A man’s voice was heard from the front. Duanmu Xue stopped dancing and looked in the direction of the voice. “Zhe?”
Duanmu Zhe was surprised. This was the first time in many years he saw his sister so happy, humming while dancing.
While his thin lips were twitched into a smile, he walked up to Duanmu Xue and gently asked, “Did something good happen?”
Probably it was because Duanmu Zhe disagreed with her plan to be together with Ye Moxuan, so when he asked her the question, she felt guilty all of a sudden and avoided his eyes.
“Zhe, why are you here?”
She was extremely happy before her brother appeared, but after she saw him, the smile on her face became forceful, and she even avoided making eye contact with him. Feeling that she was acting weird, he raised his eyebrows. “What, now? I can’t stay at home now? Are you still angry with me for the incident that happened that day?”
Immediately, Duanmu Xue shook her head. “Of course not. You are my brother; even if I’m mad at you, I won’t stay mad for so long. Also… I injured your hand that day. How is your injury? Is it better now?”
Feeling pleased that his sister had become thoughtful and considerate, he reached out his large hand to pat on her head. “I’m alright. As long as you can be cheerful, it’s fine for me to get hurt a bit. But—”
The long tone at the end of his sentence made her feel even more guilty. Hence, without letting him finish his sentence, she cut him off. “Zhe, I have something else to do. I will go back to my room first.”
And immediately, she passed by his side and left.
Duanmu Zhe hadn’t finished his sentence, but the girl ran off. He couldn’t help but let out a resigned smile.
This girl… Why is she behaving like a mouse that saw a cat, or a thief who felt guilty for stealing?
