Mu Yuze knew the disappointment in Lu Xue's heart, but somehow, at this moment, a slight sense of subtle relief welled up in his heart.
He was relieved that they hadn't found Mr. Chen so smoothly this time, so he could continue to help Lu Xue and provide her with more clues.
Mu Yuze spoke up.
"I'll have someone find out Mr. Chen's contact information as soon as possible. If we can make an appointment with Mr. Chen in advance next time before coming to visit, our chances of success will be much higher."
Lu Xue nodded and got into the car.
Mu Yuze drove back the same way. By the time they returned to the Mu Mansion, it was already getting dark. The two of them got out of the car wearily.
Aunt Chen had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing them come back, Aunt Chen immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Master, Miss, what would you like to eat tonight? Miss Mu Ziyue is back too, and she brought Miss Ding Muyun with her. The house is bustling again. I'll cook some nice dishes tonight."
As soon as Lu Xue heard that Mu Ziyue and Ding Muyun were at home, most of her good mood vanished.
She didn't even need to think to know how Mu Ziyue would pick on her and be at odds with her both openly and secretly.
Lu Xue looked listless and said indifferently.
"In that case, I'll go back to my room first."
Aunt Chen was a bit surprised.
"Miss Lu isn't going to have dinner with everyone?"
Lu Xue let out a soft hum and said.
"I'm a bit tired. I want to go back and take a nap right away."
Aunt Chen quickly said.
"Okay then. I'll make some more snacks and send them to your room later."
Lu Xue thanked Aunt Chen and went upstairs.
Mu Yuze stared thoughtfully at Lu Xue's back. After a while, he also said softly.
"I'm a bit tired too. I'll go upstairs to rest first."
Aunt Chen asked in confusion.
"Isn't Master going to have dinner with the two young ladies?"
Mu Yuze shook his head and went upstairs.
He didn't even need to think to know that when he sat across from Mu Ziyue, his hot - tempered sister would start complaining and whining to him.
To be honest, he would rather stay with Lu Xue than deal with these two girls.
Thinking of Lu Xue, more doubts filled his mind.
How on earth did Lu Xue find out Mr. Chen's address?
And for what reason did she have to find Mr. Chen?
Based on the simple background information about Lu Xue that Mu Yuze had managed to find out on his own, it was hard to find an entry point to dig out the connection between Lu Xue and Mr. Chen.
Downstairs at the dinner table, Mu Ziyue and Ding Muyun were waiting for Mu Yuze.
After waiting for a long time, they only heard a word from Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen said apologetically.
"Master drove all day outside today. He seems a bit tired and has gone to bed early."
Ding Muyun fell silent, while Mu Ziyue slapped the table and jumped up.
"Doesn't my brother know that I'm back today? I've been away from home for so many days. He doesn't even care about me. I finally came back today, but he doesn't even come to see me."
Aunt Chen said timidly.
"Master must care about Miss in his heart. He might really be tired today."
Ding Muyun then took over the conversation and quietly asked.
"What did Master do today?"
Aunt Chen immediately replied.
"Master drove with Miss Lu Xue outside all day. They just got back not long ago."
Mu Ziyue curled her lips and immediately showed her dissatisfaction.
"I thought he was working overtime in the company and was too tired. It turns out he was out playing with that Lu Xue all day! For Lu Xue, he doesn't even care about his own sister!!"
Saying that, Mu Ziyue was about to smash things around the house again.
Ding Muyun grabbed her arm to stop her and said to Aunt Chen.
"Got it. Then just the two of us, Mu Ziyue and I, will have dinner tonight."
This dinner was obviously not a pleasant one. The two girls had their own thoughts at the dinner table. One was itching for a fight, thinking about how to deal with Lu Xue.
The other was deep in thought, wondering how far the relationship between Mu Yuze and Lu Xue had developed.
After a while, Ding Muyun suddenly spoke up.
"You've lived under the same roof as Lu Xue for so long. Have you found any dirt on her?"
Mu Ziyue looked up.
"Dirt? She's full of dirt in my eyes. She doesn't pay attention to personal hygiene. Her clothes are always covered in mud. She messes up my room, acts arrogantly, and gives me the cold shoulder..."
Ding Muyun shook her head.
"I'm not talking about these things. Is there anything more serious that would make your brother fly into a rage as soon as he finds out?"
Mu Ziyue thought for a long time and then shook her head in confusion.
Ding Muyun sighed. It seemed that she had to pay more attention to this matter herself.
Ding Muyun didn't go straight back to the Ding family. Instead, she found an excuse to stay at the Mu Mansion with Mu Ziyue for a few more days.
During this period, she observed Lu Xue's every move at home all the time and found that Lu Xue was simply a reclusive strange person.
