Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 Business Trip

The place where Mu Yan lives is very remote; she rents a small one-bedroom apartment.

The building was constructed several years ago, with no elevator, but the advantage is that the rent is cheap.

No matter how run-down the exterior looks, the inside is made very cozy by Mu Yan.

With warm-colored wallpaper and simple yet complete furniture, the apartment feels like a home.

After entering, Mu Yan threw her bag along with the marriage certificate casually onto the sofa and went into the bathroom.

She hadn't had a chance to properly wash at the hotel; she felt dirty and uncomfortable.

She took off her clothes, stood under the showerhead, closed her eyes, and repeatedly cleaned her body with her hands covered in shower gel.

Unfortunate events had already happened; she couldn't change them, and now she could only think about the future.

Half an hour later, Mu Yan came out of the bathroom, changed into clean clothes, and lay down on the bed to rest.

Not long after, a phone call came in; it was from an unfamiliar number.

She hesitated for a moment, then answered.

"Young Madam, have you packed your luggage?" a stranger's voice came through.

"Who are you?" Mu Yan was a bit hesitant.

"I am Young Master Jiang's chauffeur; you can call me Ah Hui. The young master instructed me to pick you up."

Mu Yan frowned slightly, Jiang Jingheng?

Him sending someone to pick her up was completely unexpected.

However, didn't this prove that her existence as a cover-up was still of value?

She replied, "Okay, I'll pack immediately, please wait a moment."

Mu Yan packed a few clothes, dragged her suitcase, and left the rental apartment.

Ah Hui was a young man, about her age, and his attitude towards her was very respectful.

The journey was silent, and the silence stirred Mu Yan's previously calm heart.

Indeed, she was nervous.

She rarely paid attention to the wealthy circles, but she had heard of the Jiang Family's big name; such a wealthy family must have very complex relationships.

Someone with her status would definitely not be recognized by the in-laws; would the Jiang Family give her a hard time later?

With such apprehensive thoughts, Mu Yan watched as the car entered the gates of Jinxiu Court and finally stopped in front of an independent villa.

Mu Yan got out of the car and looked up at the exquisite and elegant European-style villa in front of her.

She knew the house prices in Jinxiu Court were ridiculously high; only wealthy families like the Jiang Family could afford to live here.

"Young Madam, please." Ah Hui, dragging the suitcase, spoke respectfully.

Mu Yan nodded slightly at him, carrying her apprehensive heart towards the door.

Upon entering, she found that there wasn't a single person inside.

She looked at Ah Hui beside her and asked suspiciously, "Why is there no one here?"

Just as Ah Hui was about to speak, a middle-aged woman walked out from the kitchen and upon seeing Mu Yan, immediately exclaimed, "Young Madam, you've arrived."

Mu Yan nodded slightly to her; although not accustomed to being called Young Madam, she still said, "Hello, Auntie."

"Young Madam, you can just call me Yu Ma, please come in," Yu Ma warmly invited.

Mu Yan nodded slightly and walked in.

She glanced around and realized that the house was indeed very quiet. She asked, "Is there no one at home?"

"The Young Master went to the airport an hour ago for a business trip abroad, didn't you know?" Yu Ma looked at Mu Yan in surprise.

Mu Yan smiled awkwardly; was it strange that she didn't know about this?

If she knew, that would be stranger.

Yu Ma realized she had misspoken and quickly said, "You must be hungry; dinner will be ready soon."

"I'm not very hungry." After saying that, Mu Yan asked again, "Don't other Jiang Family members live here?"

"Are you talking about the Master and Madam? They live in the Jiang Family's old mansion; this is the young master's private residence," Yu Ma explained.

Mu Yan, "..."

It seemed that all her worries during the journey were for nothing.
