Mu Yuze retrieved something from Yan Hua's office and walked back. When he passed by Lu Xue, Lu Xue nodded and immediately followed him.
The two entered the elevator and disappeared from everyone's sight.
It wasn't until they left that everyone started to get restless.
"They're actually going home from work together!"
"Are they already living together? Otherwise, why would they go home on the same route?"
"Is the CEO already dating? Have they developed their relationship to this extent? Why do I think they look so well - matched when they stand together!"
The next day, rumors started to spread in the company.
Someone claimed to have seen Lu Xue get into the CEO's car with their own eyes, and the car drove out of the company's underground garage.
Some gossiping colleagues even uploaded photos. They said they had taken a taxi privately and followed the car all the way, only to find that the car had returned to the CEO's own home.
Did this mean that the CEO's assistant was indeed living with the CEO?
...
Mu Ziyue's friend was going to open a fashion studio recently and had invited many well - known figures in the fashion industry to join.
Mu Ziyue was a well - known socialite who knew a lot of young ladies and minor celebrities. At this time, she mobilized all her connections and asked her little girlfriends to go and support her friend's studio.
Although it was her friend's studio, Mu Ziyue was extremely enthusiastic about it and found a great sense of achievement from it.
She was busy all day long with great enthusiasm. When she got home, she saw Ding Muyun sitting coldly on the sofa.
As soon as Ding Muyun saw Mu Ziyue come back, she immediately stood up and said, "I need to talk to you."
Mu Ziyue naturally knew what Ding Muyun wanted to talk about. She wasn't very interested, but Ding Muyun was so determined that she had no choice.
So the two of them sat down at the dining table coldly and talked while eating.
Ding Muyun hoped that Mu Ziyue would rein in her playful attitude as soon as possible and focus all her attention on getting rid of Lu Xue.
"Lu Xue is our common enemy now. Have you forgotten how much you hated her when she first came to the Mu mansion?"
"Yeah." Mu Ziyue said lazily. "But now I don't find Lu Xue that annoying anymore. Why do we have to go through so much trouble to get rid of her..."
Ding Muyun was frustrated with Mu Ziyue's attitude and wanted to persuade her further.
Just then, the door opened, and Lu Xue and Mu Yuze walked in from outside.
As soon as Ding Muyun saw that they had come back together, her eyes darkened instantly.
When Lu Xue saw Mu Ziyue, she greeted her casually.
When her gaze swept over Ding Muyun, she simply ignored her and didn't even want to say a word to her.
Aunt Chen greeted them warmly, "Miss Lu and Young Master are back. Sit down quickly! The meal has just been cooked. Everyone can have a hot meal together. It's been a long time since the whole family sat together like this."
Ding Muyun lowered her eyes and said seemingly casually, "Not everyone here is part of the family."
What she really meant was that Lu Xue was just an outsider and wasn't qualified to sit at this dining table.
But Lu Xue seemed not to understand her sarcasm. She pulled out a chair and sat down nonchalantly, smiling as she said,
"Indeed. Just like Miss Ding Muyun, she's from the Ding family and doesn't have the Mu surname. I wonder what she's doing here every day. Even if she's here to mooch off our meals, there should be a limit."
Ding Muyun's face turned a bit ugly. She hesitated to speak but finally managed to hold back her anger and said feebly,
"Lu Xue, that's not what I meant. You've misunderstood me."
Lu Xue didn't care whether she was misunderstood or not. She sat down to eat and casually helped herself to every dish on the table.
She deliberately picked the dishes from the plates in front of Ding Muyun. In no time, she had emptied several plates in front of her.
Ding Muyun didn't know where to start, and she was so angry that her face turned green.
Mu Yuze and Mu Ziyue were sitting beside them. They both held back their laughter, but their faces remained expressionless.
After the meal, Ding Muyun took the opportunity to ask Mu Ziyue,
"Why has your brother been spending so much time with Lu Xue recently? They came back from outside together again today. Did they go out to play during the day?"
Mu Ziyue shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing.
"I've been busy with my startup every day. How would I know so many things! Why don't you just ask my brother?"
Ding Muyun gritted her teeth. Of course, she was too embarrassed to ask Mu Yuze directly. So she tried to get some information from Aunt Chen indirectly.
Aunt Chen, at Ding Muyun's request, went to ask Yan Hua. Finally, she found out that Lu Xue had found a job in Mu Yuze's company.
Now the two of them almost went to work and came off work together every day. They were inseparable.
After learning this news, Ding Muyun's face became even uglier with anger.
She came to the Mu mansion every day just to build a closer relationship with Mu Yuze.
But Lu Xue was taking advantage of her proximity. She had occupied both Mu Yuze's daytime and nighttime, and at the same time, she had found herself a job.
