Yan Qianyi looked at Yun Mu, "Then let take a look at your wounds before we head back."
Hearing this, Pei Yuexuan, who was standing on the side, quickly said, "Madam, I haven’t subjected Yun Mu to heavy punishnt, he’s not... not injured..."
Pei Yuexuan felt a cold sweat in his heart.
He didn’t expect Princess Chu Hua to like Yun Mu so much, and the Madam to care so deeply about Yun Mu as a friend.
Fortunately, he had not privately inflicted heavy punishnt on Yun Mu before.
Yan Qianyi said, "Deputy Officer Pei, there’s no need to be nervous, I just see that he looks very haggard."
"Qianyi, I really don’t have any injuries," Yun Mu said. "I just haven’t eaten much these last few days, so I’m a bit weak. I’ll just need to eat sothing and rest well when I get back."
Yan Chuhua chided, "Who told you to not eat by yourself? I think Deputy Officer Pei should take the opportunity to let you suffer a bit more, and see if you dare to not cherish your own life in the future."
Yun Mu tugged at the corner of his mouth, feeling sowhat embarrassed.
He indeed hadn’t expected to walk out of that dark cell alive.
Even less so, he hadn’t expected that, though Mu Yunlie’s appearance seed cold and heartless, he was actually a very approachable and kind person.
At this mont, he truly felt glad that he had not done anything to hurt them before.
"It’s ti for us to go back," Mu Yunlie said as he stood up. "Deputy Officer, please escort them down."
On the way back, Yan Qianyi leaned her head on Mu Yunlie’s shoulder and said with a light heart, "Ah Lie, I really thank you for the matter with Yun Mu."
"You’ve thanked many tis today already, really, it’s not a big deal. What I did, I did it for myself as well."
Yan Qianyi looked up at him, "For yourself?"
"Because as long as you’re happy, I am happy too."
Hearing this, Yan Qianyi’s heart lted, and she leaned in to kiss Mu Yunlie’s cheek, "Ah Lie, why are you so good?"
Mu Yunlie smiled slightly, "But I also really did want to remove Xue Yang. This ti, by forgiving Yun Mu and telling him that as long as he makes notable contributions, I’ll help him and Yan Chuhua, he will be even more loyal to in the future. This is how to properly utilize people."
Yan Qianyi pouted, "I was feeling touched, you didn’t need to tell that."
"I don’t want to hide anything from you," Mu Yunlie stated truthfully. "I hope you feel the sa way."
"I don’t have anything to hide from you either."
"Are you sure?" Mu Yunlie asked.
Looking into his questioning eyes, Yan Qianyi felt a bit guilty and quickly changed the subject.
"Oh, by the way, I have sothing to tell you. Yan Ruyi is truly not Yan Hong’s biological daughter, Doctor Xu has already shown the paternity test results."
Mu Yunlie replied indifferently, "Isn’t that what you’ve always believed?"
"Yes, but there was no evidence before, right? Initially, I didn’t want to bother with Yan Ruyi anymore, but then I heard from Doctor Xu that Yan Hong had taken her to the corporation. So, I checked Yan Hong’s personal bank account and found he actually transferred money to Yan Ruyi three tis, almost two million in total! Isn’t that infuriating?"
"Really?" Mu Yunlie was a bit surprised, "Yan Hong, who values money so much, how could he be willing to give her money to spend after learning about what Yan Ruyi and Han Yarong did? This is sothing I didn’t expect."
"Yan Ruyi probably sweet-talked him into being happy."
"No, it must not be that simple," Mu Yunlie reminded. "He also took Yan Ruyi to the corporation, I suspect they might be planning sothing. Think about it, Yan Ruyi’s reputation is already tarnished, if she wasn’t still of use to Yan Hong, he wouldn’t be willing to give her money to spend."
Yan Qianyi furrowed her brows and pondered for a mont before nodding, "You seem to make a lot of sense. Yan Hong is indeed a very selfish person. When I was of no use to him and might even be a burden, he didn’t hesitate to sever ties with as his daughter."
And Yan Ruyi didn’t grow up by his side, so there shouldn’t be much of a father-daughter relationship between them.
As far as I know, he hasn’t visited Yan Ruyi or Han Yarong once since they were imprisoned.
Yet now, he’s generously giving money for Yan Ruyi to spend, and that’s definitely not sothing she could coax out of him with just a few nice words.
They might really be plotting sothing!"
Mu Yunlie reassured her, "But there’s nothing to worry about. With here, they can’t stir up any trouble. Yun Mu’s issue has been resolved, and dealing with Xue Yang isn’t an overnight situation. You should rest well and not worry about anything."
Yan Qianyi said, "But I still need to tell Yan Hong, and I also need to do it in front of Yan Ruyi, to make her look bad. I’ll rest tomorrow, and the day after, I’ll make a trip to the Yan Family."
Mu Yunlie smiled, "Alright, as long as you’re happy."
Yan Qianyi asked, "Do you have ti the day after tomorrow? Want to join to watch the show?"
"I’d rather not go. You can bring Aunt Xue with you."
"Alright, then. I’ll share with you when I get back."
Thinking about Yan Ruyi’s expression at that ti, Yan Qianyi couldn’t help but laugh.
So satisfying!
...
Yun Mu returned to the dormitory at the Military Academy.
When Xue Xiaoguang saw him, he rushed over and gave him a big hug.
"Yun Mu! Where have you been these past few days? We’ve all been so worried!"
Yun Mu was taken aback; before he left, he and Xiaoguang had been giving each other the cold shoulder, with neither willing to speak to the other.
He had thought that after that night, he could no longer be Xiaoguang’s friend.
He hadn’t expected Xiaoguang to still care about him so much.
At this mont, Xiaoguang’s surprised and happy expression at seeing him return was genuinely sincere, without a hint of pretense.
Pacing Yun Mu on the shoulder, Xue Xiaoguang said, "Glad you’re okay. You’ll have to tell where you ran off to later, I’ll go tell my sister and Chu Hua right away."
Yun Mu said, "They already know. I was just with Chu Hua earlier."
Xiaoguang’s smile stiffened for a mont, and he forced a smile, "Oh, well... Good to know."
"Xiaoguang, I’m sorry."
"Huh, why are you apologizing to ? I was the one who threw the first punch that day, so I should be the one apologizing to you."
"I like Chu Hua too. The reason I rejected her that day was because of unavoidable difficulties."
"Oh," Xue Xiaoguang nodded, his eyes flickering slightly, "Liking soone is liking them. It’s just fair competition between the two of us."
"We’re already together."
Hearing this, Xue Xiaoguang paused for a mont, his face still maintaining a forced smile, "Then congratulations, I wish you two happiness... Really, it’s good..."
Saying that, Xue Xiaoguang turned to tidy up his desk, not wanting Yun Mu to see his disappointed and sad emotions.
Yun Mu watched Xue Xiaoguang’s back and asked, "Xiaoguang, I’m sorry, can we still be good friends?"
Xiaoguang stopped, lifted his head and blinked hard, then took a deep breath, and turned around with a smile to look at Yun Mu:
"Nonsense, of course, we’re still good friends! Chu Hua likes you, and she’ll be very happy with you. I genuinely wish you both the best. But, you have to promise , you can’t let her down or mistreat her. If you dare to do anything bad to her, I’ll still beat you up!"
