Yun Muxi knew that something was wrong. "Sir, how long has that car behind us been there?"
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and was very suspicious too. "For quite some time, I think. It seems to have followed us all the way. It looks like a normal car, so I didn't notice it at first. It does seem a bit strange."
Yun Muxi said to him nervously, "Sir, please start driving, we'll go in."
The car embarked onto the mountain road and the car did not follow behind. Yun Muxi was finally relieved. Soon, they arrived at the big gate, which opened slowly within a few seconds after the car stopped. The driver glanced at Yun Muxi and she nodded. "Please go in!"
The driver had opened his eyes to a whole new world. He would never have had the chance to see a manor house like this! He glanced at Yun Muxi through the rearview mirror once more. This time around, his eyes were filled with admiration for the rich.
When they reached the big door, the driver could no longer contain his excitement. He exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! This is so grand! Miss, so you're a rich second generation? And not just normal rich, this is reclusive rich!"
Yun Muxi explained awkwardly, "You're mistaken, I'm not some rich second generation, this is a friend's house." She then continued, "Sir, please wait for me here. I'll come out in a moment. I'll need you to drive me back."
The driver was beyond honored. It was such a rare chance for him to see a house like this, so he wanted to admire it more. On top of that, he was also making money later and need not return as 'available'. He could not be happier.
Yun Muxi held onto Niannian's hand and walked towards the big door. Niannian had not seen such a grand house like this too. She exclaimed, "Wow! Mommy, does the grandpa live here? This is like a princess's castle, it's so pretty."
As she spoke, Murong Qingtian had already walked out of the door excitedly. He was beyond surprise at Yun Muxi's sudden decision to bring Niannian here. Once he heard the news, he had been fidgeting all along. He was looking forward to it a lot and had come out to welcome them himself. This was an honor to the guests. There was no one who had received this honor before, Niannian was the first.
This must be the incomparable kins.h.i.+p between these two generations. There were many other elderly who were just like him; they were exceptionally close to their grandchildren and doted a lot. Even if Murong Qingtian ruled the heaven and earth outside, even if he was solemn and fierce at home, he had an ordinary person's heart after all.
Yun Muxi was also very surprised to see him walking towards them with a smile on his face. She brought Niannian in front of him. "Niannian, call grandpa."
Murong Qingtian was not pleased. "What do you mean by grandpa? Call me grandfather (maternal grandfather)!"
Yun Muxi's face became a little stiff. "I think we should stick with grandpa for the time being. I don't want to tell her all these yet. Niannian, call grandpa."
Niannian lifted her head. She smiled very sweetly and her big eyes flickered with delight. She called obediently, "h.e.l.lo, grandpa!"
Murong Qingtian was going to argue, but seeing that Niannian was so loveable, he instantly felt that there was no reason to harp on that. He gave her a vibrant smile and exclaimed, "Ah! What a good kid!"
Yun Muxi said as-matter-of-factly, "I'm just letting her stay here for a few days. I'll bring her back on the weekends. I came in a hurry today, so I didn't bring her stuff. I'll come back with some clothes and things that she uses regularly. I'll inform the kindergarten that she won't be attending school these few days. If you need anything, call me directly."
Yun Muxi sounded somewhat estranged and Murong Qingtian was not pleased. However, his attention was all on Niannian so he did not think about it too much. He said casually, "It's okay. I'll get people to go prepare her clothes, daily items as well as toys. She will not be mistreated here."
Yun Muxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Also, please don't tell her anything. I don't want to let her know yet."
Murong Qingtian's face fell and the hue in his eyes was obvious. He looked at her and asked, "You look down on the Murong family to this extent?"
Yun Muxi replied calmly, "It's not that, this has nothing to do with Murong family. My decision will be the same for any family out there. Don't force me."
He sighed, "Do whatever you want."
Yun Muxi squatted down and pulled Niannian into her embrace. In a gentle voice, she said, "Niannian sweetheart, you must be obedient. I'll come to pick you up in a few days. If you miss me, just give me a call."
Niannian nodded obediently and planted a sweet peck on Yun Muxi's cheeks. "Okay! Mommy, go to work! I'll be good. Hurry up and finish your work so you can bring me back."
Murong Qingtian's heart faltered a little. "You're not staying for dinner? We can eat soon."
Yun Muxi shook her head. She gently caressed Niannian's little head. Her top priority, for the time being, was to settle Gu Yuxuan's situation.
After bidding goodbye to Niannian and Murong Qingtian, Yun Muxi went in the taxi and they drove down the mountain road. Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, they saw the black car again. Yun Muxi got off the car and walked towards it. She tapped gently on the driver's seat's window. The window winded down slowly. A fierce-looking man glared at her. "What?"
Yun Muxi was starting to get angry. "Why are you guys following us? Who are you guys? Where is Xuanxuan?"
The man chuckled at her question, rolled up the window and drove away. Yun Muxi took note of the car plate number and memorized it.
Upon returning him, she quickly took out her laptop and invaded the back end of the Traffic Management Bureau's website. She keyed in the car plate number, hoping to find some clues. However, she was shocked to find out that it was a fake car. The license plate originally belonged to a silver Hyundai instead of a black Audi. Her new spark was diminished instantly.
Just at this moment, Yun Muxi's phone started ringing. She frowned and picked it up. It was a call from Mrs. Mou. Confused, she picked up the call and answered, "h.e.l.lo Mrs. Mou."
As soon as she finished her last word, Mrs. Mou temper could be heard from the other end. "Yun Muxi, you're really a jinx! Isn't it enough that you've harmed your own family? Why must you harm our Mou family too? Are you only going to stop after destroying our family..."
Yun Muxi was dumbfounded at her sudden vitriol. She interrupted her. "Mrs. Mou, by remaining silent, it doesn't mean that I agree to your verbal attacks. I just don't want to have any conflicts between us. I haven't seen Yichen these few days, nor did I contact him. I'm not going to sit back and listen to you bash me for no reason."
Mrs. Mou cried, "Yun Muxi, you're a jinx. Besides harming Yichen, you've also harmed Mou's Group! You've caused so much damage to us! Yichen has also suffered because of you!"
Yun Muxi finally something wrong in Mrs. Mou's continuous string of words. She frowned. "Mrs. Mou, what did you mean by that? Can you explain?"
"How could you still act dumb? The Internet has caused a lot of uproars. How can you still act innocent?"
Yun Muxi quickly went online and found Today's Hot Topic.
"Heir to Mou's Group Reportedly Suffering from Memory Loss, This Is the Woman to Blame"
"Mou's Group Executive Director Hospitalized, Company Is Now in Crisis"
"Mou Family Does Not Accept Cinderella, Mrs. Mou's Slap Reveals Shocking Truth"
"Mou's Group's Stock Plummets, Director Board Demands to Remove Mou Yichen"
Almost all of the topics were about Mou's Group, Mou Yichen, and Yun Muxi. There were also videos of Mrs. Mou slapping Yun Muxi and scolding her speculating around. Reporters were camping outside Mou Yichen's ward, hoping that he could accept the interview and give the public an explanation.
Things were getting worse by the minute. Ever since news of Mou Yichen losing his memory and being hospitalized was released, it had affected Mou's Group's stock immediately. Within a day, they had reached the stock price limit. The board was very unhappy about it and strongly demanded to replace Mou Yichen's role as Executive Director. Within a day, both Mou's Group and Mou family fell into chaos.
Since Mou Yichen held such an important position at such a young age, there were undeniably many people who were jealous. They would take advantage of this incident to bring him down.
Yun Muxi did not expect things to turn out like this. She felt very sorry. Indeed, she had a part to play in this. If she had not triggered him, he would not have run into the accident. Things would have turned out differently.
At this moment, Yun Muxi could only feel a splitting headache. Before one thing got settled, another had risen. She was exhausted.
Yun Muxi was worn out. She leaned against the sofa. All of her energy was already sucked away. She stared at the ceiling like a dead body. She did not move one inch and the sky grew darker with her remaining motionless...
The doorbell rang at an inappropriate time. After what seemed like a whole century, Yun Muxi finally realized what it was and walked towards the door. She was greeted by the sight of a man dressed as a delivery man. He was wearing a cap and hid his features from her. He spoke in a low voice, "Miss, your delivery."
Yun Muxi did not give it much thought. She took the pen and signed. When she closed the door, she realized that she had been lying in complete darkness and turned on the light. Looking at the box, it was wrapped very tightly. There was only her address written on it, she did not find a return address.
Instantly, she felt a bad hunch. She quickly opened the box and found a smaller box inside. She felt even more uneasy. She opened its lid nervously and found a white finger lying in it.
The blood smell gushed into her nostrils. Her eyes widened and she started bawling.
Yun Muxi felt a blunt hitting on her heart. Every time she breathed, the pain deepened. Eventually, it was so painful she could hardly breathe. Her mouth was wide open but no air was going in. She was on the verge of suffocating.
She could clearly recognize that it was Gu Yuxuan's finger. There was a cherry angioma on the pinky and it looked exactly the same as the one Gu Yuxuan had. Yun Muxi could not believe that the person was so brutal. She dared not imagine what the next crazy move could be.
When Yun Muxi finally caught her breath, her phone started ringing...
