“It's fortunate that I, as your client, can help...” On the other end of the phone, Han Xiaolv said to Lu Xue with a hint of concern. “I feel that staying in the Mu Mansion always seems full of crises for you. If it really gets too much, just move out. Actually, we don't really care about their family, right?”
Lu Xue thought for a moment and replied, “I don't plan to stay in the Mu Mansion for a long time. I'm just using it as a transition period. My main goal is to find that Mr. Chen.”
Han Xiaolv asked, “When shall we go again to see if Mr. Chen is at home?”
Lu Xue flipped open the calendar and marked it for a while before making an appointment with Han Xiaolv. She had to find Mr. Chen as soon as possible to break through the bottleneck she had been in for so long.
As for the petty squabbles among young girls like Ding Muyun and Mu Ziyue, Lu Xue didn't really take them to heart. She knew that she would soon move out and wouldn't have much to do with these people anymore.
The next day, Yan Hua suddenly called Lu Xue. As soon as the call connected, he asked,
“Old classmate, how did you like the school for the minor course I found for you last time?”
Lu Xue answered the call. As soon as she heard Yan Hua's voice, she gave a disdainful look before lazily replying,
“I went there.”
“I didn't ask if you went. I even went to the school today, and they said you only showed up on the first day and haven't been there for the following days.”
Yan Hua obviously had done his homework before making this call.
“I originally hoped you'd take the elective courses there... But if you don't like that school for the minor, I'll cancel the enrollment.”
After Yan Hua said this, he thought Lu Xue would decline politely. But to his surprise, she readily agreed.
“Then cancel it!”
Yan Hua was taken aback and said through gritted teeth,
“Alright then. I'll go and cancel it. But have you thought about changing to another school?”
“What do you mean?”
“I can send you to another art college. My boss called me yesterday and specifically asked about you!”
As soon as Lu Xue heard the name Mu Yuze, she straightened her back slightly.
“What did Mu Yuze ask you?”
Yan Hua sighed.
“What else could he ask? He suddenly called me and asked if I knew your hobbies. He also asked if you were interested in architecture, painting, or art creation. I was quite confused at that time. After all, we were only classmates in junior high school and haven't had much contact since then.”
Yan Hua had no idea why his boss would ask such questions.
Seeing that Yan Hua knew nothing, Mu Yuze sighed and told him what had happened the day before when Mu Ziyue had made a big scene and moved Lu Xue's painting supplies to the corridor. Yan Hua immediately understood what Mu Yuze meant.
“Boss, if that's the case, why don't you just enroll Lu Xue in an art college? If she's interested in this field, it wouldn't be a bad idea to send her for further study.”
Yan Hua felt that he was really thinking for Lu Xue.
After all, relying on others for a long - term basis was not a good plan. She should build up more valuable qualifications for herself.
Mu Yuze mainly wanted to get information about Lu Xue from Yan Hua. Since Yan Hua didn't know, he just said a few words and hung up the phone.
But Yan Hua thought finding an art college was a great idea, so he immediately started to handle it.
Lu Xue had a bit of a headache. She talked to Yan Hua on the phone for a while before finally hanging up.
When she went downstairs, Mu Yuze was sitting at the dining table having breakfast. She saw Mu Yuze with a slight smile in his eyes and asked,
“Are you going out?”
Lu Xue nodded. “Yes, I'm going to see Han Xiaolv.”
Saying that, she put on her coat and left.
Mu Yuze's eyes were fixed on Lu Xue's back until she disappeared from sight. Then he lowered his eyes and continued his meal.
He had too many questions about Lu Xue. For example, why did she want to find Mr. Chen? Why was her room filled with sculptures and paint? What were her hobbies?
At this moment, Ding Muyun walked in from outside.
When Ding Muyun passed by Lu Xue, they both took an extra look at each other.
Since the incident with Mu Ziyue, there had been a more subtle hostility between the two women.
Ding Muyun knew that Lu Xue had seen through her true face, so she didn't bother to pretend anymore. She walked straight in without looking at Lu Xue.
Lu Xue also didn't bother to pay attention to Ding Muyun. With a cold and expressionless face, she calmly closed the door and left.
Ding Muyun walked to the dining room and saw Mu Yuze having breakfast. A gentle smile immediately appeared on her face. She walked to the opposite side of Mu Yuze, pulled out a chair, and sat down. Pretending to be casual, she asked,
“Isn't the young master going to the company today?”
Mu Yuze looked up at her, said nothing, and continued to focus on his meal.
