This box was rather peculiar. It seemed to be a new item that had been moved into Mu Ziyue's room just in recent days. Its surface didn't let much light through, so it was impossible to tell what was inside. But there was a small door visible at the bottom.
Lu Xue stood in front of this black box, lost in silence. What on earth could be in this small box? It would be understandable if the item had been found on the cabinet or beside the bed, as those were places where personal belongings were likely to be lost. But...
Just as she was hesitating, Ding Muyun called again.
"Lu Xue, have you found my thing?"
Lu Xue hesitated before speaking.
"I've seen this box, but are you sure your thing is really inside?"
Ding Muyun replied firmly.
"Yes, my thing is in this black box. You'll see it once you open it."
Lu Xue hesitated and walked around for a while. Finally, she decided to open the black box.
She pressed a switch on the side and then flipped a button down. Soon, the small door popped open.
Almost the moment the door opened, a bunch of white things fluttered out of the box.
Before Lu Xue could even figure out what they were, she was knocked down to the floor. Then these white things flapped their wings and flew around the room chaotically.
Only then did Lu Xue realize that the things flying out of the box were white pigeons.
Lu Xue never expected this. By the time she came to her senses, the pigeons had found the ventilated window and rushed out one by one. Soon, they disappeared into the sky.
Lu Xue stared blankly at the open - mouthed black box and the empty room. She was in a daze for a moment.
Ding Muyun had already hung up the phone. All that was left on the other end was the beeping busy tone.
Almost at the same time, there were hasty footsteps coming up the stairs from downstairs.
Mu Ziyue rushed upstairs like the wind and all the way to the door of her room.
When she saw Lu Xue lying on the floor and her empty black box, she finally let out a scream.
This scream alerted even the aunts and bodyguards.
Everyone in the Mu residence gathered together and surrounded the two of them in a semi - circle, looking rather at a loss.
Mu Ziyue pointed at Lu Xue with a trembling finger and then at her black box. It took her a while before she roared,
"Why did you touch my box? Why did you let my pigeons go? Who gave you the permission to break into my room?"
Lu Xue remained silent. She knew she was in the wrong this time.
Mu Ziyue rushed over and was about to grab Lu Xue on the floor and pull her hair. Fortunately, Aunt Chen and several other bodyguards rushed over to stop Mu Ziyue.
Aunt Chen even stood directly in front of Lu Xue, blocking Mu Ziyue's oncoming attack. The room was in an uproar again, and the scene was even more intense than last time.
While trying to rush at Lu Xue, Mu Ziyue shouted angrily,
"These were the nineteen white pigeons I carefully prepared for a whole week. I raised them meticulously every day, and you let them go. Did you do it on purpose to cause trouble?"
After roaring for a while, Mu Ziyue sat on the ground and wailed. While crying, she shouted,
"Tonight is my male god's birthday party. I was all set to give these pigeons to him and confess my love. But now the pigeons are all gone, and you've ruined the whole birthday dinner!"
Lu Xue sat there stupidly, looking at Mu Ziyue with a hint of guilt in her eyes.
At the same time, she knew that she had been trapped by Ding Muyun this time.
Lu Xue always thought that Ding Muyun and Mu Ziyue had a good relationship, like sisters. But she never expected that Ding Muyun would use her to deal with Mu Ziyue.
Ding Muyun had not only harmed Lu Xue but also stabbed Mu Ziyue in the back.
Lu Xue wanted to explain the whole thing to Mu Ziyue, but in the end, she remained silent.
Finally, after everyone's hasty consolation, Mu Ziyue's emotions were a bit more stable.
She was supported by Aunt Chen and walked downstairs, but her resentful eyes still fell on Lu Xue.
"Don't be too complacent. I'll call my brother tonight and ask him to kick you out. If he refuses, I'll do it myself tonight. I'll turn this family upside down if I have to, but I'll definitely kick you out of my Mu family!!"
Aunt Chen looked worriedly at Lu Xue and Mu Ziyue and gently urged,
"Miss, calm down now. Let's go downstairs and have some water..."
Mu Yuze rushed back home after getting the news.
As he pushed open the door, he saw Mu Ziyue with red - rimmed eyes standing in the middle of the living room.
Seeing her brother coming back, Mu Ziyue immediately rushed over, hugged Mu Yuze, and cried loudly.
"Brother! You must kick Lu Xue out this time. I can't stand living under the same roof as her anymore..."
