Chapter 22 Jealousy

Could it be that Mu Yuze and the others already had a lead on the person she was looking for?

At this thought, Lu Xue looked up at Mu Yuze with a glint in her eyes, quite different from before.

Mu Yuze still pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

He knew there were many things to be dealt with back at the company, but he was also reluctant to leave Yan Hua alone with Lu Xue here.

At this moment, he took a good look at his assistant for the first time.

He suddenly found that his assistant was quite good - looking. With a tall and slender figure and a handsome appearance, after working by his side for many years, Yan Hua had naturally developed a calm and steady demeanor.

If he were in the marriage market, he would surely be a very competitive candidate.

Thinking of this, Mu Yuze didn't know what secret motive was driving him, but he was even more reluctant to leave.

Just then, Lu Xue suddenly leaned closer to Yan Hua, seemingly wanting to take a closer look at the document in his hand.

Yan Hua widened his eyes, moved nimbly, quickly snapped the document shut, and tucked it into his chest like a precious treasure. Then he turned his back to her and said,

"Lu Xue, what are you up to? This is a company secret. I can't just show it to others."

Lu Xue wasn't very polite to this old classmate. She squinted slightly and let out a cold laugh.

"I saw you just now laying it out on your lap so casually. It doesn't seem to be such a big secret, does it?"

Yan Hua got defensive.

"It's my business to open it. Whether you look or not is up to your self - awareness, right?"

Han Xiaolv and Mu Yuze just watched as the two started to bicker over a small thing, looking like they were at odds with each other.

Mu Yuze didn't know that Yan Hua and Lu Xue were junior high school classmates. So he was extremely surprised that they got along so naturally on their first meeting.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing back and forth, Mu Yuze, for some reason, even felt a faint twinge of envy in his heart.

Han Xiaolv quickly stepped in and said,

"Guys, can you stop arguing? It's just a small thing. If you can't see it, then don't."

But Lu Xue wasn't having it. This old artist was the reason she came back to China.

She had been secretly searching for so long since she returned to China, just to find any trace of this artist. Now that she finally had a lead, how could she just give up?

In a fit of pique, she gave Yan Hua a disdainful look and said,

"Fine, I won't look. Let's go. I'll go back with you."

With that, she stood up and went into the house first to pack her things.

Mu Yuze and Yan Hua were stunned. Just a moment ago, Lu Xue had been so firm that she wouldn't go back to the Mu Mansion. How could her mind change so quickly?

While the two men were still standing there in a daze, Lu Xue had already packed her things and dragged out two big suitcases.

Seeing that they didn't respond, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

"What's wrong? Aren't you welcoming me back?"

After a moment, it was Yan Hua who reacted first. He jumped to his feet.

"Let's go, let's go. Since we're going back, we should hurry up."

Mu Yuze had come here originally to invite Lu Xue back.

Before, Lu Xue had been so determined, but somehow she had changed her mind and was now willing to go back to the Mu Mansion.

After a moment of stunned silence, Mu Yuze also stood up quietly and said,

"Okay, let's get ready to go back now."

Seeing that the situation was about to end happily, Han Xiaolv was also quite happy. She quickly stood up and said to Lu Xue,

"Lu Xue, let me help you with your stuff. You can't handle all these things by yourself."

With that, she happily went inside.

Mu Yuze and Yan Hua looked at each other. They were a bit confused.

Lu Xue's luggage should have only been a few pieces of personal clothing. What on earth were there that one person couldn't handle and needed two people to help?

Ten minutes later, the two finally found out what Lu Xue's luggage was.

They saw Lu Xue carry out several thick easels and drawing boards, painted clay sculptures, many half - finished sculpture models, and a big bucket of paint from the old house.

The paint was so heavy that one person simply couldn't carry it.

Yan Hua wanted to step forward to help, but as soon as he picked it up, he almost sprained his ankle.

Han Xiaolv waved her hand impatiently and urged,

"Don't make things worse. You don't have the experience. I'll handle this."

With that, Han Xiaolv skillfully took out a cloth bag from inside, put all the paint into the bag, and tied the opening tightly to prevent the paint from spilling in the bumpy trunk.

Finally, she somehow magically produced a folding cart and placed all of Lu Xue's work tools on it.

The two men watched in amazement as the two tall buckets of things were neatly stacked onto this small and portable cart.

It felt like trying to stuff an adult into a small trash can, yet all the things were stacked so neatly.
