Chapter 404 - Guidance

Liang Zhou felt a little impatient, but it was not obvious when she asked, "So, are you still going to look for Ye Xin?"

Gao Wen looked at Liang Zhou, clearly at a loss.

Liang Zhou continued to say, "The Young Madam of our Mu family is treated like a queen in the family. The Old Madam pampers her, her husband loves her, and the helpers respect her. If I were you, if Ye Xin is really with the Mu family in Cloudy Peak, I won't look for her. Let her enjoy her life. What do you think?"

At this moment, as though a bolt of lightning had struck her back to her senses, Gao Wen hurriedly said, "No! Liang Zhou, have you forgotten what the master said?!" 

Liang Zhou feigned a puzzled expression.

"Master said that the people around Ye Xin now are insincere and that they hate her," Gao Wen said.

Liang Zhou nodded. "You're right. I remember now."

"In that case, I should bring Ye Xin back with me. The Mu family doesn't really care about her and that place isn't good for her. Master said Ye Xin is being manipulated by someone as well," Gao Wen said.

Liang Zhou nodded again. "That's right. The master did say that. She said that the people around Ye Xin don't care for her at all." She hesitated for a moment before she said, "However, Gao Wen, we don't know for sure that the Young Madam is Ye Xin…"

Upon hearing these words, Gao Wen calmly said, "No, I have a strong feeling that Master was talking about the Mu family."

Lu Zhou remained silent.

Gao Wen remained silent as well.

After a while, Liang Zhou took the initiative and broke the silence first. She asked, "Gao Wen, I… What do you plan to do? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Gao Wen's gaze grew more and more determined as she said, "Liang Zhou, only you alone can help me."

Liang Zhou hesitated for a moment but still nodded in the end. "If it's within my capability, I'll definitely help you."

…

When Liang Zhou arrived at the Mu family house, Jiang Jin and Ye Xin were both present.

Liang Zhou handed a box to Sister Yu with a smile before she said to Jiang Jin, "I bought a new toy for the baby."

Jiang Jin beamed and said, "The baby already has so many toys." Then, without waiting for a reply, she said to one of the helpers, "Unwrap the toy and pass it to Nuan so the baby can play with it."

Following that, Jiang Jin said to everyone, "The baby has been very curious recently and is fascinated by new things."

"I'll send the toy up," Sister Yu volunteered.

Jiang Jin nodded.

Liang Zhou smiled as she watched Sister Yu climb up the stairs. She had already realized that Jiang Jin and Sister Yu had already alienated Ye Xin from the baby. It was clear the duo did not allow Ye Xin to get close to the baby at all. However, it seemed like Ye Xin did not mind it at all.

Liang Zhou looked at Ye Xin furtively. Ye Xin did not seem to be paying attention to their conversation and was engrossed with reading the document in her hands. Upon seeing this, she asked curiously, "Young Madam, what are you reading?"

Jiang Jin did not say anything and just took a sip from her teacup.

Meanwhile, Ye Xin turned a deaf ear to Liang Zhou's words. Instead, she set the document down before she looked at Jiang Jin and said with a sigh, "Grandma, Zhuang Ji keeps losing money… We can't let it continue like this, right?"

Liang Zhou's heart skipped a beat. 'Zhuang Ji? Losing money?'

Jiang Jin calmly said, "You've just taken over Zhuang Ji so it's normal for you to lose money. It takes a lot to manage a business. Even if you're smart, it's impossible for you to learn everything in such a short time. Don't worry. Take your time."

Ye Xin nodded solemnly.

At this moment, Liang Zhou said with a hint of envy, "The Young Madam is really lucky to receive the Old Madam's guidance."

Ye Xin pursed her lips, reaching out for her teacup. Then, she said, "I want to be of use, unlike some women. I don't want to depend on my husband and only go shopping every day or have tea every afternoon with my friends.. I don't want to embarrass the Mu family, after all."
