As she approached the table, Meng Xueyou finally had a clear view of the person’s side face in front of her. Even though it was only from the side, she was still able to recognize the person’s sharp eyes and distinct features.
After taking a look at that person, Meng Xueyou was surprised and almost released what she was holding in her hands. How could it be Ye Muxuan?
Could he be the gorgeous-looking man whom Shen Yiyi and Su Qin were talking about? However, did they not just meet a couple of days ago? Why was he here again today?
Could it be that… he no longer wanted her to be here anymore?
When thinking about this, Meng Xueyou turned pale. When she was about to run off subconsciously, a familiar female voice came out.
“Xueyou?”
This voice had caused Meng Xueyou to freeze in her footsteps. She gradually lifted her head and looked toward the source of that voice.
A beautiful face with sharp features appeared before Xue Mengyou.
Meng Xueyou’s blood ran cold, and the plate that she was barely holding onto had finally dropped to the floor.
Clang!
A plate of steak had gone wasted just like that. When the gravy spilled, some of it even spattered on Meng Xueyou’s shirt, face, and neck.
Han Muzi and Ye Moxuan were a good distance away, so they were not injured by this.
At that particular moment when the plate was dropping, Ye Moxuan had swiftly stood up and shielded Han Muzi from it.
Compared to Han Muzi, who was being protected, Meng Xueyou looked particularly pathetic.
“Are you okay”? Ye Muxuan turned his head and asked.
Han Muzi looked at him, confusingly, as he came and shielded her first thing when the incident took place, protecting her from the dirty things. How could she possibly not be okay?
Even if he did not do what he did, given the distance, she would not get hit either.
So Han Muzi shook her head.
Seeing this, Meng Xueyou felt miserable.
Five years ago she was the Young Lady of the Han Family, high up in the air, and Han Muzi was just a daughter who was not being favored in the Shen Family. She was nothing but trash in her eyes back then.
But five years later, things had completely turned around.
She was the one turning into trash now, even… to this extent.
While Meng Xueyou hated her, she was also afraid of seeing her, as she really did not want her to see what she looked like now.
Thinking of this, Meng Xueyou turned around and was about to walk off.
When Han Muzi saw that she was leaving, she quickly stood up and tried to stop her.
“Xueyou, did you do something to all the packages and takeouts previously?”
Ever since last night after Ye Moxuan told her that she would be disappointed when she found out who that person was, there was the image of the face of a person inside Han Muzi’s head. She felt that before she saw that person, she should not be prejudiced against anyone.
But today when she finally saw the person, the face of the person in front of her was actually the same as yesterday.
Xueyou…
Five years ago they were such close-knit sisters. Who knew she would…
Meng Xueyou was originally thinking of running away because the state that she was in right now would only become a laughing stock for them, but Han Muzi’s words managed to stop her. She never looked back, but just stood there.
“Why?” Han Muzi stared at her back, trying hard to utter that question.
She did not know what she did wrong. Why had Xueyue suddenly changed and even attempted to kill herself in front of Han Muzi?
This word seemed to have provoked Meng Xueyou, who had been standing there. She suddenly turned around and looked at Han Muzi with a cold smile.
“Why? Do you really not know why I am against you? Young Lady Han, what are you trying to do now? Did you come to this restaurant to laugh at me? To make me look bad?” Meng Xueyou threw a quick glance at Ye Moxuan, then shot a fierce glance at Han Muzi.
“And even brought someone to support you? You want me to look bad? Let me tell you, that is impossible.”
After finishing her sentence, Meng Xueyou was still able to keep her back upright. Her eyes were full of resentment, staring at Han Muzi.
The resentment in her eyes was so full that it almost overflowed. Han Muzi could not believe it. Her pink lips moved but she could not say a single word.
“Back then… it was you who did something bad to me.”
Now, how could she act as though she was in the right? Han Muzi considered it for a moment and turned next to Ye Moxuan. “I would like to have a word with her privately.”
Before Ye Muxuan was about to oppose, Meng Xueyou immediately yelled, “Who wants to talk to you privately? Now, you are Young Lady Han, and there is nothing more to say between us. Also, both of you upper classes, please use the exit on your right. This restaurant will not serve you today.”
Meng Xueyou turned around and left right after she finished talking. All she left for Han Muzi was the view of her back.
Han Muzi’s countenance changed, and she bit her lips, wanting to chase after her.
But she was grabbed in the arm by Ye Moxuan. “Stop chasing after her.”
“But…”
“You came here today just to see who that person is. Do you really want to catch up with her?”
When Han Muzi heard it, she became quiet immediately. She slowly dropped her eyes and was then brought out of the restaurant by Ye Moxuan.
After getting in the car, she spaced out and even forgot to fasten her seat belt.
It was Ye Moxuan who reached her to help her fasten her seat belt.
Han Muzi was deep in her thoughts the whole time.
She never thought she would see Xueyou again, even under such circumstances.
Xueyou used to pass herself off as Han Muzi. Now that she was no longer the Young Lady of the Han Family, did she… go back to her gambler father?
Did she work at the restaurant? Why was she dressed like that?
Han Muzi recalled the low-cut top and mini skirt that Xueyou wore and the black stockings.
While she was at it, she closed her eyes tightly. Her mind was all messed up.
Why? Why did she turn into this?
Even though Han Muzi had ended her sisterhood with her back then after she found out Meng Xueyou was also going after Ye Muxuan, Han Muzi still felt bad after seeing how pitiful she looked right now.
After all… she used to be such a great friend.
Back then, Xueyou meant so much to her.
“Don’t think so much. She completely deserved the situation that she is in today.”
A dead voice came through. Han Muzi came back to her senses and opened her eyes.
She saw that the car had come to a stop at the light, and then Ye Moxuan turned around and looked at her.
“She deserved it?”
“Seeing how pitiful she has become, why are you even feeling bad?” Ye Moxuan asked.
Han Muzi did not respond. But, undoubtedly, she was feeling uneasy within.
“Why don’t you think about the things she did to you? Two times of stalking, two times of threats—they were all her doings.”
“But…”
“But what? Do you wanna be a Holy Mother?” Ye Moxuan suddenly looked stern. He stared at her firmly. “You knew well how she became the Young Lady of the Han Family, didn’t you?”
These words hit home and dismantled all the restlessness Han Muzi had been having in her heart.
That was right. She remembered how Meng Xueyou became the Young Lady of Han Family back then—initially she approached Han Muzi with an ulterior motive, and later she had been nice to her because… she had already stolen her identity and she was feeling guilty, and that was why she treated her extra nicely just so that she could fill less guilty.
