Chapter 65

"Even if you came to work in Fuen, how could you do such a job?" Yu Muyu furrowed her fine eyebrows and said, "Does Shaoting know about this? Oh no," she had just figured it out and continued, "you came here to clean his office, right? So, he is aware of this? He has gone too far."

With that, she smiled shyly and said, "By the way, you may not know it since you were away for many years, but I... am with Shaoting now."

"..." Looking at Yu Muyu, Sheng Xi'an was not moved at all, instead, she felt even more awful. Even though she had found about it from Huo Shaoting three years ago, she was still stung by these words being said by Yu Muyu.

It was she who knew Huo Shaoting first, and it was she who was his wife now, but there was nothing she could say when Yu Muyu showed up in front of her. The most ridiculous thing was that she was standing while Yu Muyu was seated, even in Huo Shaoting's chair. She was in a cleaner's uniform while Yu Muyu was dressed stylishly and appropriately. What's more, she had to hear her say that she was with Huo Shaoting.

"As soon as Shaoting gets here, I'll ask him to arrange a new job for you. How could you do such things?" With a look of disapproval on her face, Yu Muyu walked toward Sheng Xi'an, held her arm, and said to her in a rather cordial tone, "Don't do it today either."

Sheng Xi'an opened her mouth but found it difficult to utter any words.

At this very moment, she felt that she could not breathe smoothly, as if something was stuck in her heart.

When Yu Muyu touched her, she shook her hand away instantly as if she had gotten an electric shock, then she stepped back.

"Xi'an?" Yu Muyu shot her a sad glare and asked, "What's up with you?"

"Nothing." Taking a deep breath, Sheng Xi'an managed to force a smile and say, "Sister Muyu, please don't mention this to Huo Shaoting. I'm willing to take this job, and I'm also very happy at work." Even though she wanted to change to another job, she would hate it if she got it due to a favor from Yu Muyu, then she would feel even more miserable.

"But Xi'an..." Yu Muyu replied with a sigh, "I heard that the Sheng Group had some problems a few days ago..." She continued after some hesitation, "Is that why you came to work in Fuen? But even so, you don't need to do..."

"Sister Muyu, thank you for your concern. My family is fine."

Yu Muyu nodded with a smile. "That's good to hear." She then pointed at the couch opposite them and asked, "Shall we go over there and talk?"

"... I'm afraid I have to say no." Sheng Xi'an shook her head and said, "I'm here to work. It wouldn't look good if I sat there."

"Xi'an, what happened to you?" Yu Muyu frowned slightly and asked. "We've been out of touch since you went abroad. You were so heartless that you didn't even give me your contact information. But we've known each other for years. We were good friends before, right? I haven't seen you for so long, let's sit down and talk, okay? I do want to know how you have been over the past years. If you're worried that Shaoting may accuse you later, please rest assured, I'll talk to him."

"Sister Muyu," Sheng Xi'an replied in a relatively cold tone, "it suddenly occurred to me that I forgot some of my supplies. Let me go get them." She feared that she might fall apart if she stayed there any longer.

"Xi'an!" Yu Muyu reached out to grab her by the arm. "Are you mad at me?"

"No." Without looking back, Sheng Xi'an said, "Please let go of me. I really need to get those tools."

"Can't you spare a moment to talk with me?"

"I have to work now." After that, Sheng Xi'an raised her arm and quickly broke free from Yu Muyu's hand.

"Ah!"

Turning around, Sheng Xi'an found that Yu Muyu had fallen to the ground, her hand covering her left ankle and her face looking rather pained.

"Are you all right?" The shocked Sheng Xi'an thought that she did not give her a hard push just now, but she still reached out to Yu Muyu when seeing her in pain. "Let's me pull..."

But before she could finish the sentence, the office door was pushed open, following by a panicked shout of Huo Shaoting...

"Muyu!"
