“You!” Yuchi Jin glared at him. When his eyes met with Ye Moxuan’s pitch black eyes, he was deeply shocked.
This was the first time he saw this look in his grandson’s eyes. They were dark, cold and as deep as a trench. Along with those eyes were his words—“What if I don’t?”
Yuchi Jin squinted his eyes with dangerous intent. “Are you disobeying my words?”
“Grandfather, if what you want is a grandson who is at your mercy, even with his marriage, then I’m afraid I can’t be that grandson.”
Yuchi Jin raised his eyebrows as they were filled with murderous spirit. “Is this a threat?”
No matter how much Ye Moxuan said, it seemed pointless, so he gently quirked up the corners of his thin lips. “How could I dare to threaten you, grandfather? I’m just trying to tell you that I won’t marry Duanmu Xue because I won’t give up the one I love.”
“Are you really not going to listen to me?”
“It’s late in the night. Grandfather, get some early rest.”
After that, Ye Moxuan turned to leave, but Yuchi Jin was so angry behind him that he scolded, “Y-You stop right now and come back!”
No matter how hard he tried to call Ye Moxuan, it seemed as though he didn’t hear a word. Soon after, he disappeared into the study. Yuchi Jin’s face turned green due to rage, and he started coughing heavily. “Cough—”
After seeing that Ye Moxuan left, the housekeeper quickly came in and supported Yuchi Jin. “Old Master Yuchi, are you fine?”
Yuchi Jin was still furious. “That brat. I’m doing this for his own good, but what kind of an attitude did he show me? Huh? Should that be the attitude he has toward his own grandfather?”
Listening to him, the housekeeper resignedly let out a sigh. “Old Master Yuchi, Young Master Yuchi didn’t grow up with you after all. Some matters—”
“What are you saying? Why can’t I take control of his marriage just because he didn’t grow up with me? You saw what happened to his mother. I don’t want my grandson to follow in her footsteps!”
As he mentioned Yuchi Xin’s predicament, the housekeeper’s face was suddenly filled with sorrow. At the end, he could only sigh. “Old Master Yuchi, I’m afraid Young Master Yuchi’s temperament is worse than Miss Xin’s.”
“Then I’ll set him straight myself. If he doesn’t want to do it, then I’ll do it for him myself!”
George was holding onto a glass of wine when the phone rang all of a sudden. He took a peek at it and was surprised. Quickly, he slipped outside. What’s going on these two days? He calls me everyday at this time. Is there some bad blood between the Yuchi grandfather and grandson?
“Yuchi?” George found a quiet place to answer the call.
A cold voice of a man came from the phone. “Duanmu Xue came to the company today.”
“Huh? What?” George almost had goosebumps just by listening. “I thought she’d never gone to your company before. Why would she suddenly go there today? Are you calling me because…” George took a big gulp. “She ran into Muzi?”
Nothing came from the phone as it was as silent as the dead of night.
George suddenly felt a headache. He racked his brain trying to figure out why Yuchi Shen was calling him. “Then… what do you want me to do?”
Ye Moxuan thought carefully about Duanmu Xue’s reaction during the day before saying in a cold voice, “She may have a mental breakdown, so I’m worried that she will harm Muzi.”
What the hell? Duanmu Xue having a mental breakdown? When did that happen?
“Go find Duanmu Zhe.” Ye Moxuan paused. “And tell him to look after his little sister.”
George reacted after a while. “Do I just need to find Duanmu Zhe?”
“Yes.”
After that, Ye Moxuan ended the call swiftly and left George standing there in a daze while blinking his eyes. How could such a beautiful person have a mental breakdown? It all just doesn’t seem… to make sense.
George couldn’t explain the feeling inside of him, but he just felt unhappy about it. He then took out his phone and texted Duanmu Zhe, whom he hadn’t contacted for a while.
…
The second day.
When Han Muzi came into the company, she could see a group of people on the bottom floor whispering to each other. She didn’t know what they were talking about, but from the looks of their faces, it seemed they were gossiping. They kept on talking while looking toward the elevator.
This weird scenario had never occured in her long tenure in the company. Along with the fact that she met Duanmu Xue yesterday, she became alerted of the situation.
There’s definitely something wrong. Is Duanmu Xue back? As she thought about the possible outcome later, she entered the elevator.
When she came out of the elevator, she went toward the secretary room.
As she was about to reach there, she was halted by the sight of several tall men wearing leather suits guarding the secretary room. All of them looked fiendish.
Han Muzi showed a serious expression on her face. By the looks of this… I don’t think it’s just about Duanmu Xue. She had a guess inside her while she tightened her fist at each side. Will I bring trouble to Moxuan if I approach him now? But… we have to meet eventually, right? Ever since she came into the company, she had predicted that this day would come.
Just when she was about to make a decision, a man guarding the door saw her and walked toward her quickly. “Are you—”
Even though the man looked terrifying, his tone was unexpectedly courteous. Before he could utter Han Muzi’s name, she cut him off. “I’m the secretarial assistant. Are you looking for me?”
The man nodded, but seeing her pretty face, he blushed. “Our Old Master Yuchi wants to see you.”
Old Master Yuchi… As expected. Han Muzi quirked up the corners of her lips slightly. This woman, Duanmu Xue, really is impatient. I thought that she would hesitate at least for a few days before going to Yuchi Jin to voice her complaints. I never expected her to find him on that day.
The man thought that she wasn’t willing to cooperate since she stood there stationary, so he raised his voice. “If you don’t cooperate with us, don’t blame us when—”
Han Muzi raised her eyebrows. “Who says I’m not cooperating? Let’s go.” She took the initiative to walk toward the secretary room.
The other party came to her fiercely, and she didn’t know if they had figured out her true identity. She didn’t change her name, so it would be easy for them to know who she was. At this point in time… Ye Moxuan won’t be here for work for another half an hour. Looks like the Old Master timed his arrival right.
However, at the moment, Han Muzi wasn’t afraid at all. Even though she didn’t have Ye Moxuan beside her, she still had the courage to meet the old man. She wanted to ask him why he erased the memories Ye Moxuan had with her.
Han Muzi entered the secretary room while being surrounded by them.
Yuchi Jin was sitting on the couch and felt impatient waiting for her. Just as he was about to lift his head and ask whether she came or not, he heard a voice coming from the door. “Old Master Yuchi, she is here.”
Hearing the footsteps, Yuchi Jin lifted his head to glance toward her. “It’s you?”
