Even though the two of them had never met officially, Yuchi Jin was actually familiar with Han Muzi. The woman had a close connection with his grandson’s life, and she was also the woman who stayed by his side the longest.
However, only Yuchi Jin knew her well while Han Muzi couldn’t even recognize him. That was why when Yuchi Jin first saw her, he knew immediately who she was.
Han Muzi stood motionlessly and smiled at him while blinking her eyes. “Old Master, do you know me?”
Her words pulled Yuchi Jin’s mind back as he glanced at her. A smile was dangling by the woman’s lips while her eyes had a sly look. Then, he darkened his face. “That’s an interesting question.”
Is she actually asking me if I know her? Her face shows that she doesn’t know me at all. Yuchi Jin sneered inside of him. Looks like this girl is more clever than I thought. Yet Yuchi Jin still felt shocked when he saw her.
Before he came, he imagined the girl to be a freshly-graduated college student or some vain woman, so he thought that by giving her cash and warnings, it would be easy to make her leave. However, what he never expected was that the woman was neither a college graduate nor an ordinary person.
I should have considered that, based on my grandson’s weird temperament, he wouldn’t simply fall for anyone. In the past years, his heart has only been moved by one woman. I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect him to fall into her hands again. If that’s the case, then we’re in big trouble!
“Old Master, what’s interesting about my question?” Han Muzi tilted her head to ask him. She knew from the start that Yuchi Jin was familiar with her, but before he admitted it himself, she… could play the fool too. Besides, he didn’t give a word of explanation when he wiped away Ye Moxuan’s memory of her.
Meanwhile, Yuchi Jin gave the woman in front of him a thorough look as he squinted his eyes. Compared to her photos, she was more beautiful in person. Her features were exquisite while her face exuded a classical vibe. Along with the cold aura around her, she was the pinnacle of the beauty of eastern women.
My grandson has a good eye to like such a woman. Nonetheless, deep down, he believed that Duanmu Xue was the only one who was qualified to be his granddaughter-in-law. No matter how good-looking the woman in front of him was, she would never be qualified. Since she wants to play the fool, then I’ll let her be.
Yuchi Jin let out a grunt and retracted his sight. “Since you’ve been clinging on to my grandson, don’t you know who I am? And you still have the guts to ask me if I know you. I can see that you’re quite bold.”
Han Muzi smiled slightly. “Old Master, thank you for your praises, but… I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. What do you mean by… clinging on to your grandson? Ever since I came into the company, I have always been following the rules. It seems that I haven’t done anything that crossed the line, right?”
Yuchi Jin could hear that she was quibbling with him, so he grunted coldly and beat his hand firmly on the table. “How dare you say that you haven’t crossed the line? Do you want me to pull in some witnesses to expose you?”
“I have nothing to be ashamed of. Even if you pull some witnesses over to confront me, I will still have a clear conscience.” She smiled calmly without any nervousness.
Yuchi Jin squinted his eyes. If Yuchi Shen hadn’t told him firmly last night that he would never be engaged with Duanmu Xue and give up the one he loved, he would have believed that the girl in front of him was innocent. But how could he believe her now after what Yuchi Shen said? This little girl is actually stubborn and quibbling with me.
“Little girl, being dishonest isn’t an honorable thing to do.”
“Old Master, I don’t know what I should be honest about.”
Yuchi Jin gave the housekeeper beside him a look. Then, the housekeeper immediately took out an envelope from his pocket and walked up to Han Muzi. “Old Master Yuchi asked me to give this to you.” The housekeeper respectfully took the envelope to the front of Han Muzi. His attitude was kind, and there weren’t any vicious looks in his eyes.
Han Muzi thanked him, but she didn’t take the envelope from his hand.
“There is a check in the envelope. Take it!” Yuchi Jin sneered.
Han Muzi remained stationary as she blinked while looking at the envelope. “Old Master, I don’t understand what you mean. Why do I need to take your check?”
Yuchi Jin was getting impatient with her. “Don’t play a fool. I am the grandfather of Yuchi Shen. Do you want the check or not?”
Listening to him, Han Muzi mumbled in response, and her face showed that she seemed to have realized something. Then, she took the envelope from the housekeeper’s hand and smiled at him. “Thank you, uncle.”
The housekeeper looked at her as if he wanted to say something, but he took a step back at the end. His eyes showed his disappointment as he regarded Han Muzi. Last night, he stood outside the study, so naturally, he heard Yuchi Shen’s words to his grandfather. He was determined not to engage with Duanmu Xue and give up his loved one, and he even used his own identity to threaten his grandfather. At that time, the housekeeper was curious on what kind of a girl could cause the Young Master to be this stubborn, so he wanted to have a good look at her today. That was why when Han Muzi refused to receive the envelope, the housekeeper had a good impression of her, but he never expected her to take it at the end. Sigh, has our Young Master’s heartfelt effort gone to waste?
After she received the envelope, the smile on her face turned brighter as she bent in the direction of Yuchi Jin and thanked him. “Thank you, grandfather.”
The housekeeper was stunned. He thought that he had mistaken her words, then he looked toward Yuchi Jin and asked with his eyes, Did I just hear her calling him ‘grandfather’?
Naturally, Yuchi Jin also heard it. “What did you just say?” he scolded.
Han Muzi held onto the envelope. “I said thank you, grandfather. Didn’t you come to give me this first-meeting gift because you knew Xuan and I are together now? I still believe you shouldn’t spend so much, grandfather, but… since this is your token of regard, I definitely can’t refuse it.” After that, Han Muzi forced a smile at Yuchi Jin. “Grandfather, you need to tell me in advance the next time you visit me so that I can prepare a meeting gift for you too. Otherwise… I’d be embarrassed to receive your red packet without giving you something in return.” Her smile was bashful as her face blushed.
All of a sudden, the housekeeper, Yuchi Jin, and everyone present were rendered speechless. Is there something wrong with this girl? Can’t she see that Old Master Yuchi gave her the check because he wants her to leave Young Master Shen? She actually thinks that Yuchi Jin came to give her a first-meeting gift? Does she even have a brain? What is she thinking?
Yuchi Jin almost passed out because of her words. He pressed a hand on his chest and pointed at Han Muzi. “You…You…”
