Qin Ruoyun had noticed her estrangement, but still continued to smile.

"Miss Mu sure knows how to joke around. You're Second Young Master Gu's wife, how can you say you're suitable for this place!"

The smile on Mu Ran's face widened as the mockery on the corner of his mouth grew even stronger.

"Sometimes, a wife is just a decoration, while a woman outside is the best!"

As expected, she discovered that a hint of happiness and satisfaction flashed in Qin Ruo's eyes. She was indeed a woman, and a woman who had fallen deeply in love at that. She didn't even notice the mockery in her voice.

The car stopped at a small, quaint teahouse. The moment the car stopped, Mu Yurou jumped out of the car as if he was escaping. She didn't want to stay a second longer with that woman.

As soon as she stepped into the room, she was greeted by Lin Youde, who was smiling so hard that his face looked like it was about to burst.

"Xiao Yan, you're here. Hurry up and come in to warm up!"

He had never even given her a smile. When he was young, he had only given her a glance because Lin Wencheng loved her. At that time, he had never thought that his son would be so infatuated with her that he would even marry her.

When he grew up, he hated her to his bones because she had bewitched his son. Furthermore, her unpampered status in the Mu family couldn't help his son rise to prominence in the future. Thus, he treated her coldly most of the time.

Mu Yurou was not fooled by his enthusiasm. Instead, she quietly avoided his hand that came to pick up her coat, hung it on a hanger, and sat opposite Lin Yede. Qin Ruoyun did not follow him into the private box, but waited outside.

Mu Yurou lowered her head and took a sip of tea. The warm liquid dispelled the coldness brought by the woman just now. When she felt a little better, she finally raised her head to look at Lin You De.

"Principal Lin, if you have something to say, please get straight to the point!"

To be able to make someone as arrogant as Lin Youde bow to her, she really did not know what kind of thing it would be. She was worried that she would not be able to handle it.

Lin Yezhou didn't show any embarrassment at all when she said that. This was Lin Yezhou. He could do anything that was beneficial to her, but he was colder than anyone else.

However, Lin Wen Cheng and his elder brother Lin Wen Yu were not like him at all. Lin Wen Cheng was upright and Lin Wen Yu was an honest man. Perhaps it was because Lin Wen Cheng had already pushed his selfishness to the extreme, so his two sons were unable to inherit anything.

Linde leaned forward and said with a smile,

"Xiao Yan, do you have any thoughts of studying abroad?"

"Abroad?"

Mu Wenwen was truly astonished. Lowering his head to look at the liquid in the cup, he muttered these two words. She did not expect the Lin Clan to come up with such a method.

If she were to leave the country and travel across the ocean, it meant that she would lose all contact with Lin Wen Cheng. Even if she had contact with him, she wouldn't be able to put his life on the line like this time.

This time, Lin Wen Cheng's selflessness had truly frightened them. Only by sending her far away would they be able to prevent the trouble in their hearts. Hehe, that was really vicious!

When he saw her there, he thought she was thinking, and took out a cheque from his pocket.

"This is one million yuan. It's enough for you to live abroad for two to three years!"

He pushed the check in front of her and looked at her carefully.

"Of course, if you still want to stay abroad after graduation, uncle will continue to provide you with funds!"

His slender fingers held the cheque in front of his eyes and looked at it. There was a million yuan left over, he finally had the cost of replacing all the heating and air conditioning in the orphanage. He would also have the cost of improving the housing conditions for the children and giving Uncle Heng some good medical equipment.

She squinted at the expectant eyes of Lin Youde, her tone surprisingly not so distant.

"Uncle Lin, then..." What country are you going to send me to? "

she asked, her smile growing wider and wider.

"Xiao Yan, what do you think of New Zealand?"

"Hehe!" New Zealand? What a beautiful country! "

Mu Wenwen lowered his head and took another sip of tea. His slender fingers caressed the edge of the teacup. Her skin was white, and the blood vessels on the back of her hand could be seen.

Going abroad? She had never felt this way before. She had never wanted to be far away from everything that was happening to her. Even if the world collapsed on that snowy night that Lin Wen Cheng abandoned her, even if her current life was a little difficult, she had never had the thought of leaving.

She was not a person who enjoyed living in exile. The feeling of not being able to find a home, not being able to find a place to rest, was unbearable to her.

Every time she went out to get some work, she would wish she could finish it that day and quickly come back. No matter what happened during the day, she would feel at ease by taking a bath at night and hiding in her little home.

If she could only hope that her life would be peaceful, she didn't think that any woman would want to lead that kind of life, except for those who were born for the arts.

The most important thing was that this city had carried on for twenty years of her life, her suffering and pain, her happiness and laughter, her friendship, her love, Uncle Heng and the orphanage. If she were to leave, she would really be reluctant …

However, she could not bear to part with this city. She would have left this land one day and lived in a foreign land for four years. If not for that incident, she would have spent the rest of her life in a foreign land.

This time, Linde's suggestion had truly moved her. The sudden change at the birthday party had made her think a lot. She had thought that as long as she was able to live her life in peace, she would be at fault no matter what.

When she used all her strength to love, Mu Lingfeng disliked her. From then on, when she no longer loved and wouldn't forgive her, she had aroused Qin Ruo's resentment. Perhaps she really was an ominous person, and if she left, everything here would return to peace.

The Wen Cheng Brothers would live peacefully with Mu Linfeng, and that man would also concentrate on guarding that Qin Ruoyun. Furthermore, Qin Ruoyun would no longer be so full of hostility towards her, and would no longer have so much trouble.

Finally, with a barely audible sigh, she took the cheque and lightly stood up.

"Uncle Lin, I accept your suggestion, but …" I'll have to trouble you to tell me about Second Young Master Gu then! "

Poor Linde, what would he think if one day he found out that his favorite son had nearly died in the hands of his secretary?

However, she didn't know if that man could let her leave the country. She didn't know what sort of feelings that man had for her. If it was heartless but he was so gentle sometimes, it would be chilling to talk about friendship.

It didn't matter if he let her go or not. She had to get the one million anyways. Lin Youde was just the head of the Public Prosecutor's Office. He could draw a cheque for a million yuan just like that. Just how much money he had obtained was easy to imagine.

In the future, if anyone asked, she would say that he was donating it to an orphanage. Thinking of the joy Uncle Heng and the children would feel when they heard the news, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but curl up into a smile.

When she came out of the box in a good mood, Qin Ruoyun was standing guard at the entrance of the room. When she saw Mu Xueqing come out smiling, she could not help but be stunned for a moment before smiling at her. Mu Yurou was too lazy to care about her pretentious expression, she only gave her a casual glance before leaving in large strides.

Qin Ruoyun had clearly been hurt by her rude appearance. Staring at the figure that had left so casually, a thick anger gradually filled her gentle face.

Today, she finally saw the woman who had stolen her seat. No! It shouldn't be said that she stole it! It should be said that she gave it up herself.

If she had insisted on marrying Gu Mo City back then, he definitely wouldn't have refused her. But now, where could she find a woman that would make her unable to sleep or eat in peace?! If it wasn't to avenge him, why would she suffer so much? She was, after all, the daughter of the King of Oil.

"Secretary Qin —"

Just as she was about to grind her teeth to pieces, she heard Lin Youde's voice from the room. She hurriedly calmed herself down, put on a formal smile, and walked in.

In the box, Linde took her hand with a smile on his face.

"Ruoyun ah, she agreed to leave the country, but she said that we have to settle things with Second Young Master Gu over there. Do you have any good ideas?"
