She didn't even use a smartphone and rarely contacted her friends. Her life was incredibly monotonous.
Most of her day was spent in her locked room. No one knew what she was up to in there, but when she came out, there was often dirty mud on her.
This young girl, who had just been brought out of the village and was starting to adapt to a wealthy lifestyle, didn't even think about going to the mall to buy luxury goods, getting a facial at a beauty salon, or finding ways to befriend the local socialites and curry favor with them.
She didn't seem to have any awareness of adapting to her new identity. All she did every day were strange and sneaky things.
All these made Ding Muyun wonder who Lu Xue's friends were.
Apart from Han Xiaolv, she didn't seem to see anyone else interacting with Lu Xue.
But it was impossible for someone to live in society for so long without having any connections. Sooner or later, the clues would surface.
So Ding Muyun decided to stay a few more days.
Four or five days later, Ding Muyun unexpectedly got a lead.
That day, she had an appointment with some girlfriends to get their nails done. But since she was a bit late leaving, she happened to see someone coming to visit Lu Xue.
The man was brought in by Han Xiaolv. Since Han Xiaolv was a frequent visitor to the Mu Mansion, the man she brought along easily passed the security check at the gate.
When the man entered the Mu Mansion, Ding Muyun couldn't help but take a good look at him.
He had an ordinary face, probably in his mid - thirties. He was slightly overweight, well - dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a successful businessman.
Ding Muyun couldn't understand why Han Xiaolv would bring such a man to see Lu Xue.
Could there be some connection between Lu Xue and this man?
Han Xiaolv led the man to sit in the hall and then went upstairs to find Lu Xue first.
At this time, Lu Xue was usually in her studio and didn't allow anyone to disturb her.
Han Xiaolv had to talk to Lu Xue first and then decide whether to bring the man up to see her. While the man was sitting downstairs alone, sipping his tea, Ding Muyun thought this was a great opportunity to use her charm.
She was the kind of beauty that men adored. All she had to do was sit in front of him, casually toss her hair, and have a friendly chat. Maybe she could easily find out why he was here.
Thinking of this, Ding Muyun put on a warm smile, sat down seductively opposite the man, and winked at him.
"Hello, sir."
To Ding Muyun's surprise, the man just glanced at her while taking a sip of tea. There was a hint of disgust in his eyes. Then he lowered his head and continued drinking his tea, ignoring her completely.
The smile on Ding Muyun's lips froze. She didn't expect the man to be so cold to her. Wasn't she attractive enough for him?
Just then, Han Xiaolv was standing by the handrail on the second - floor stairs and nodded at the man.
"It's okay, Mr. Li. You can come upstairs now. I've already informed her for you."
Ding Muyun watched as the middle - aged man's face lit up.
Then he quickly stood up, nervously smoothed out the wrinkles on his suit and shirt, straightened his clothes and collar.
He also touched up his hair, which was fixed with hairspray before he left home, to make sure his appearance was perfect. Then he followed Han Xiaolv humbly upstairs.
He knew that Han Xiaolv was an important person around that woman. If he could get on good terms with Han Xiaolv, it would greatly help him achieve his goal today.
So he was extremely polite and enthusiastic towards Han Xiaolv all the way up, chatting with her occasionally, with a big smile on his face.
Ding Muyun bit her lip secretly, feeling a twinge of unwillingness. She really wanted to know what this man wanted with Lu Xue.
Ding Muyun silently followed them. Taking advantage of their inattention, she trailed behind.
She saw the man standing outside Lu Xue's room, seemingly waiting patiently for something.
Then Lu Xue opened the door and gave the man a cold look. The man immediately put on an obsequious smile and then entered Lu Xue's room.
The door slammed shut. No one knew what they were doing inside.
Han Xiaolv was waiting outside, looking like a lookout.
A sense of doubt welled up in Ding Muyun's heart. She frowned and walked away quietly. Then she secretly told Mu Ziyue about this.
As soon as Mu Ziyue heard this, she immediately said,
"What's so strange about that? I've lived with her here for so long. I've seen this kind of thing several times. There are always some strange middle - aged men coming to see her."
