Chapter 6 Get Me Out of Here, Quick!

Mu Nuannuan looked at Xiao Chuhe with a pair of stone-cold eyes. “Apologize? No way!”

As far as Xiao Chuhe could remember, this daughter of hers was pretty when she was little, but somehow, she grew up to be ugly and dumb. Getting such a callous stare from Mu Nuannuan for the first time, she could not help but feel a chill travel up her spine.

She swallowed, turned to her elder daughter, and whispered, “Wanqi, maybe we should just let it be. Don’t force her up against the wall, otherwise…”

Mu Wanqi was not finished with her, but she let it slide. Mu Nuannuan could do something stupid to enrage the Moo Family and get the Mu Family into trouble. She still wanted to live the life of Riley.

Knowing that she had successfully unnerved them, Mu Nuannuan went up to her room and retrieved her belongings, not that she had a lot to take. In fact, she had been living like a guest under someone else’s roof in the Mu Family for the past twenty years.

When Mu Nuannuan carried her luggage downstairs, there was no one in the living room. She hesitated for a second, then left via the backdoor. She did not understand why Moo Tingxiao’s “cousin” was interested in her, but she knew that it was a good idea to keep a distance from him.

After waiting for a long time outside the Mu Family residence, Moo Tingxiao started to get worried. Based on what he had learned about Mu Nuannuan’s background, a little alarm went off in his mind. Was the Mu Family bullying the ugly woman again?

Moo Tingxiao reached out to touch the side of his face, which Mu Nuannuan had slapped, and a wry smile spread across his face. She did not seem like an easy bullying target.

“Would you like to come in and have a cup of coffee?” A soft voice came from outside the vehicle. Moo Tingxiao looked out of the window and saw a beautiful woman next to his car.

When Moo Tingxiao turned to look at her, Mu Wanqi was stunned. When she spotted Mu Nuannuan and a man kissing in the car from upstairs, she did not expect the man to be so good-looking. How could such high-quality material be interested in a dumb and ugly hick? She was right to check him out.

However, Moo Tingxiao could read her mind through her eyes. He scoffed. “Who are you?”

“My name is Mu Wanqi. I’m Nuannuan’s elder sister,” Mu Wanqi replied as if Moo Tingxiao’s cold response did not bother her.

Mu Wanqi? The name rang a bell; she was one of the two daughters in the Mu Family. She had to be the one who was supposed to marry him. Men in the streets may have found Mu Wanqi pretty, but Moo Tingxiao thought otherwise. He found Mu Nuannuan even more pleasing to the eyes.

Stone-faced and not in the mood to talk, he asked, “Where is Mu Nuannuan?”

“She… She should be in her room packing up her belongings. She asked me to let in.” Mu Wanqi did not want to let this opportunity slip away. The man was related in some way to the Mu Family. More importantly, he seemed to be wealthy and definitely good-looking.

Again, he saw through her and sneered. No way Mu Nuannuan would invite him to go inside. She had likely snuck out through the backdoor.

Moo Tingxiao wound up the window and sped off without a glance at Mu Wanqi. Never once had a man ever treated her that way. Mu Wanqi instantly blew a blood vessel.

Mu Nuannuan was back in her rented house. She stayed in a dormitory during her university years, but after graduation, she moved out and rented a house. If Xiao Chuhe had not confined her and forced her to get married, she would have joined the Mu Family. Now, since Moo Tingxiao was not staying in the mansion and he seemed to despise her, it made no difference if she did not return.

By the time she sorted out her stuff, it was afternoon. She wanted to do some shopping.

The place where she lived was a notorious slum in Huyang. Transportation was lacking, and the crime rate was high there. When Mu Nuannuan entered one of the alleys, she heard a loud bang, which sounded like a gunshot. Looking ahead, she saw an out-of-control white van driving at high speeds, flying in her direction. Mu Nuannuan dodged it and barely cheated death. As the van flew past her, its door suddenly opened, and a man jumped out of the vehicle with his hands covering his head. He rolled on the ground before Mu Nuannuan and said, “Get me out of here, quick!”

When Mu Nuannuan looked up and saw the man’s face, she was shocked. “Moo Jiachen?”
