If someone else did it, they might not be able to do it so perfectly.
The two men were visibly shocked. Yan Hua even had an illusion.
He thought these two girls must have traveled far and wide and were already used to the way of just packing up and leaving.
Otherwise, how could they have packed up all their belongings in such a short time without any hesitation?
Han Xiaolu impatiently turned back to call the two men.
"Are we going or not? If we don't go now, we'll miss lunch."
As a health - conscious person, how could Han Xiaolu tolerate missing a meal in a day?
Yan Hua quickly came to his senses and eagerly ran to the front to drive.
Mu Yuze called a tow - truck company to deal with his stalled car.
During the journey, the four of them were sitting in the enclosed car. Yan Hua in the driver's seat and Mu Yuze in the passenger's seat were silent. On the contrary, the two girls in the back row chattered all the way.
They talked about the latest beauty looks and the revenue target of Han Xiaolu's Taobao store for the next quarter. Their conversation was illogical and extremely jumpy, but it almost lasted the whole journey.
Mu Yuze had too many questions in his mind but couldn't ask them, so he silently looked out of the window.
At noon, the car arrived at the old mansion.
Yan Hua was very attentive and helped Lu Xue carry down those painting tools as tall as a half - person, paint, and half - finished pottery items.
The aunts in the old mansion were very surprised and ran out to greet Lu Xue when they saw her coming back.
Aunt Chen stood at the front. She was the most enthusiastic. She grabbed Lu Xue's hands and said in surprise,
"Miss Lu, you've finally come. I specially made a few more snacks. Are you hungry? Haven't had lunch yet? You must try them later."
Ding Muyun and Mu Ziyue, who heard the news last, walked out from behind the house and stood at the back of the crowd with extremely subtle expressions.
Mu Ziyue was so angry that her face turned blue when she saw Lu Xue coming back safe and sound.
Ding Muyun silently observed the attitudes of the servants towards Lu Xue repeatedly. Finding that Lu Xue was quite popular in the old mansion, she felt a bit jealous.
After Yan Hua helped Lu Xue carry the things into the house, he seemed to remember something and asked,
"By the way, you have so many things. Where should I put them?"
Seeing this, Aunt Chen quickly said enthusiastically,
"There are still some empty spaces in a few storage rooms in the house. I'll move the other things aside and put these personal items in the storage rooms."
Mu Ziyue snorted. Although she didn't say anything, her face was clearly unpleasant.
There was such an extra person in the house, and they even had to make a separate storage room for her to put these strange things.
Ding Muyun's eyes fell on the small cart that Yan Hua was pushing.
The things on the cart were taller than a person and were tightly covered with a large piece of brown cloth. No one knew what was placed under it, but it had edges and corners.
Just by looking at the dust on the black cloth and the large splotches of paint, one could tell that the things under it couldn't be very valuable. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been left without careful maintenance.
Ding Muyun was also a bit unhappy.
Since this little girl from the countryside was going to live in the Mu family, she should have thrown away all her shabby and worthless things and adapted to a new set of living items here to have the demeanor of a young lady.
But she actually brought all those dirty things here and treated them like treasures.
Wasn't she afraid that others would look down on her even more?
After hearing what Aunt Chen said, Yan Hua just figured out the location of the storage room and was about to push the cart in that direction when Lu Xue, who had just stepped into the house from outside, called out to Yan Hua.
"Don't put these things in the storage room. The storage room is too damp. It will damage them."
Lu Xue said this so naturally, almost blurted it out.
But to Mu Ziyue and Ding Muyun, these words meant something else.
Mu Ziyue stamped her foot and whispered in Ding Muyun's ear,
"It's already good enough that we can make room for her in the storage room. She's so ungrateful. One day when I'm in a bad mood, I'll throw all her junk away!"
Although Ding Muyun didn't voice her agreement, her eyes subtly landed on Mu Yuze, wanting to see his reaction.
To her disappointment, Mu Yuze showed no reaction and didn't show the unpleasant expression that Ding Muyun had expected.
Yan Hua had pushed the cart back. Just now, he also thought that it was really not suitable to put paint and pottery in the storage room.
He asked Lu Xue,
"Then where do you think we should put them?"
Lu Xue pointed to the second floor.
"Make an empty room for me among the bedrooms upstairs. It'd better have good lighting, face the sun, and have a view of the greenery outside from the window."
Aunt Chen looked back at Mu Yuze's expression. Seeing Mu Yuze nod slightly without showing any emotion, as if giving his support, Aunt Chen immediately beamed with joy.
