Mu Ziyue let out a sneering laugh and jeered.
"Her? Our company has very high requirements. Even for an intern position, only those who graduated from top - tier universities are eligible."
The dinner table fell into silence again. Ding Muyun seemed a bit embarrassed. She glanced at Mu Yuze and then at Lu Xue.
Finally, Lu Xue finished the rice in her bowl and had eaten most of the delicious dishes on the table.
Satisfied, she stroked her round belly and let out a sigh. She thought it was time for her to go back to her room and sleep.
The barbed exchanges between these two women were starting to bore her.
Lu Xue casually pulled out her chair, stood up, and walked upstairs, leaving behind a single sentence.
"I'm going back to my room first."
Seeing Lu Xue acting so arrogantly, Mu Ziyue was on the verge of losing her temper.
"Brother, take a look at her! Aren't you going to discipline her? Does she think... does she think we're begging her to be a rich young lady?"
Mu Yuze had remained expressionless throughout. Only after Lu Xue went upstairs did he raise his eyes and fix Mu Ziyue with a somewhat intimidating look.
Under her brother's gaze, Mu Ziyue's arrogance immediately waned, and she dared not act rashly anymore.
Mu Yuze silently finished his dinner, wiped his hands with a napkin, and stood up.
"Lu Xue was specifically mentioned in Grandpa's will. Since she's come to our family, she'll live with us from now on. The next time you meet her, you'd better change your attitude towards her."
After saying that, Mu Yuze went upstairs, leaving Mu Ziyue with a cold back view.
Mu Ziyue held it in for a long time before finally breaking down into loud sobs.
That night, Ding Muyun originally planned to go back to her own home.
Although she was familiar with the Mu family members, she only came over for frequent visits and didn't live in this villa.
But when she was about to leave, Mu Ziyue hugged her and cried, refusing to let her go.
"Sister Ding, I'll sleep at your place tonight. I really don't want to live next to that little girl. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick."
Ding Muyun said she understood. She gently comforted Mu Ziyue and took her back to her own home to sleep with her.
Mu Ziyue had staged this scene in an attempt to anger her brother. But unexpectedly, Mu Yuze turned a blind eye and pretended not to know anything, showing no reaction at all.
Mu Ziyue, full of resentment, had no choice but to stay at Ding Muyun's place.
That night, the two girls huddled under the covers but couldn't fall asleep.
Mu Ziyue was filled with too much grievance during the day, and the pent - up anger in her heart had nowhere to go.
As for Ding Muyun, the appearance of Lu Xue, a person with a delicate status, made her feel that her position might be shaken.
In the middle of the night, Mu Ziyue turned over and asked.
"Sister Ding, are you asleep?"
Ding Muyun let out a soft grunt. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, too preoccupied to sleep.
Mu Ziyue whispered.
"Are we just going to let her stay in our house and be the young lady of the Mu family? Shouldn't I be the only young lady of the Mu family?"
Ding Muyun smiled.
"Silly girl, she can't be compared with you. Instead of saying she's the young lady of the Mu family, it's more like everyone is treating her as the future Mrs. Mu."
"That's even more unacceptable! Just thinking about her becoming my sister - in - law in the future makes me so angry that I'm about to explode. I'd rather you be my sister - in - law. You're so good to me."
Mu Ziyue's casual remark became a thorn in Ding Muyun's heart.
She forced a smile on her face, but her heart sank.
Even Mu Ziyue was more willing to accept her than Lu Xue, which showed that she was more suitable to be Mrs. Mu in every aspect.
She came from a prominent family, had a good education, was highly knowledgeable, and had been childhood friends with Mu Yuze. It was only natural that she should be with Mu Yuze.
But this girl from a small village, who knew nothing and could do nothing, had unknowingly taken all the natural advantages.
Looking at the dark night outside, Ding Muyun secretly made up her mind that no matter what, she must find a way to drive Lu Xue away.
She had originally planned to use Mu Ziyue to anger Lu Xue and drive her away. That's why she secretly sneaked into Mu Ziyue's room and messed up some things.
She knew Mu Ziyue well on a daily basis, and it was really easy to sow discord.
The things she chose to mess up were all Mu Ziyue's most beloved possessions, which would definitely make Mu Ziyue fly into a rage.
But unexpectedly, Mu Yuze protected Lu Xue so much that he didn't even ask about the incident and firmly stood by Lu Xue's side.
Ding Muyun secretly calculated in her mind what methods she should use to drive Lu Xue away in the next few days. Before she knew it, dawn broke.
During the day, Mu Ziyue refused to go back to the Mu family and lingered at the Ding family. Ding Muyun pretended to be kind and advised.
"If you don't go back, your brother will use force to order you to go home. You don't want to make him angry, do you?"
Mu Ziyue pouted and complained.
"My brother doesn't even notice me now. I'm afraid he won't even realize if I don't go back for ten days or half a month."
