The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

The agent had a wicked grin on his face as he spoke.

Mu Ya'an's face darkened slightly as she looked at the intermediary, her expression becoming even more serious.

The agent then gave an awkward smile, his expression showing some embarrassment.

In the end, Mu Ya'an asked the real estate agent to send her to see the house with a different girl, which slightly eased her displeasure.

It's true that only girls truly understand what other girls want.

After a different person showed her the house, the first house perfectly met Mu Ya'an's standards.

The interior decoration is simple and clean.

Although the house is relatively small, it's still quite nice for her to live alone.

Mu Ya'an quickly decided to rent the house.

After signing the contract with Mu Ya'an, the agent handed over the keys and left.

It was already afternoon when she returned to the hotel and moved all her belongings over.

Mu Ya'an hadn't eaten all noon and felt like she was about to faint from hunger.

Fortunately, the neighborhood wasn't far from the market. After grabbing a quick bite, Mu Ya'an packed her things and went to the market to buy groceries, including a cookbook.

For years, she has lived a life of luxury and ease.

Although Gong Juncheng had never treated her well, he had never shortchanged her in terms of material life.

Now that she has moved out of Gong Juncheng's life, Mu Ya'an knows she needs to start adapting to her own life.

Mu Ya'an finished her work by herself, and it was already evening.

She made herself something simple to eat, and although it tasted terrible, she had no choice but to force herself to eat it in order to fill her stomach.

After cleaning up the dishes, Mu Ya'an began to tidy up her room and put away all the luggage she had brought.

As she was packing, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Mu Ya'an looked slightly puzzled as she walked to the door and looked out through the peephole.

The real estate agent who had taken her to see the house earlier was standing at the door.

Her expression immediately changed.

Mu Ya'an frowned slightly. Although she was very dissatisfied with what the male employee said, she did not say anything to offend him. She simply replaced him with a female employee after returning to the real estate agency, citing inconvenience.

Now that this male employee has come to the door, Mu Ya'an naturally won't open it.

“Miss Mu, I know you’re inside. You’re not going to open the door? No problem, I have a key here.”

Mu Ya'an's expression changed upon hearing the man's words, and she immediately locked the door from the inside.

Fortunately, the door is an old-fashioned design, and it can be locked from the inside, so people outside can't open it.

The staff member at the door was furious when he saw that Mu Ya'an had locked the door from the outside.

“Miss Mu, I lost my job because of you. If you come out and apologize to me now, I'll pretend nothing happened. If you hide inside, then I'll have to be ruthless.”

The man spoke arrogantly, and Mu Ya'an could only tell from his voice that he was drunk.

Lost your job?

She didn't complain about him or say anything bad about him, so how could he possibly lose his job because of her?

He was probably drunk and wanted to vent to someone.

A drunkard.

Mu Ya'an encountered this situation on her very first day after moving out of Gong Juncheng's place. Although she was nervous, she was mostly angry.

The neighborhood here is quite old, with a lot of foot traffic, mostly renters.

Mu Ya'an was not afraid of what he might do.

But after all, this commotion has affected the image and impression of her among her neighbors.

"You'd better leave now, or I'll call the police."

Mu Ya'an stood at the door, holding her phone.

Upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words, the male employee's face turned even uglier, and he began kicking the door.

"You shameless woman, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an frowned and immediately dialed the police hotline.

Less than half an hour later, the investigators came over to check.

Mu Ya'an then opened the door and went out.

After mediation by the investigators, the intoxicated male employee finally chose to leave.

“He has my key on him, so I asked him to hand it over first.”

Upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words, the male employee immediately gave an embarrassed smile and said to the investigators.

"I don't have the key to this place, Miss Mu. I gave you all the keys. I was just trying to scare you."

"I'm just so angry."

Mu Ya'an frowned.

The investigators searched the male intermediary but found no relevant keys, so they spoke to Mu Ya'an.

"Miss Mu, if you're worried about this, you can have a locksmith come and change the lock. That should solve the problem."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an bit her lip lightly.

The male employee looked at her, a fleeting smugness in his eyes.

Mu Ya'an took a deep breath, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Changing the locks is definitely necessary.

After the male real estate agent was taken away by the investigators, Mu Ya'an thought he would be detained for a period of time for provoking trouble. However, in the middle of the night, Mu Ya'an heard the sound of the door opening again.

Because she was wary, she locked the door from the inside early in the morning.

She cautiously peeked into the peephole, only to find that it had been blocked.

There had been no movement at the door for a long time.

Mu Ya'an breathed a sigh of relief, but then, upon hearing the sound of something coming from the window inside the room, her face immediately turned pale.

She held her phone tightly in her hand the whole time. When she heard the sound from the window, Mu Ya'an immediately pressed the speed dial and called Gong Juncheng's butler.

Gong Juncheng's butler was coming out of Gong Juncheng's study when he saw the call from Mu Ya'an, and he answered it.

"Miss Mu."

Mu Ya'an hurriedly gave an address and then spoke quickly.

"Come quick, save me!"

Hearing Mu Ya'an's anxious voice, the butler's expression changed, and he immediately returned to the study.

"Mr. Gong, Miss Mu may be in danger."

Upon hearing the butler's voice, Gong Juncheng's expression darkened, and he spoke arrogantly.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Seeing that Gong Juncheng's expression was full of indifference, the butler left the study, took out his phone, and called one of his underlings in the neighborhood who had given Mu Ya'an the address.

Let them go over and see what the situation is.

Mu Ya'an's personality is such that she rarely causes trouble for others.

Calling him so late at night means he must have really encountered danger; otherwise, he wouldn't have called.

As Mu Ya'an hung up the phone, she indeed saw someone come out of the bedroom.

She immediately reached for the bottle on the counter to protect herself, and looked at the male employee who came out of the bedroom, trying to calm herself down.

"I've already called for help. I don't want to make things difficult for you. You should leave quickly, otherwise, who knows what might happen next."

Upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words, the male employee's expression became more mocking, and he approached Mu Ya'an step by step.

"Miss Mu, do you think I'm a three-year-old child, so easily scared?"

"I didn't want to make things difficult for you either. But Miss Mu made me lose this month's salary and almost cost me my job. If I don't come to you, who else can I turn to?"

"With Miss Mu's looks, if I were to have my way with her, losing a month's salary wouldn't be a big deal."

Mu Ya'an's expression darkened upon hearing the male employee's words, and she immediately spoke up.

"I didn't complain about you. What does it have to do with me that you lost your salary?"

The male employee gave a cold laugh and said.

"Don't you know that changing staff at the last minute means they're dissatisfied with my work?"

"This is a disguised complaint. Ms. Mu, you are good-looking. I would have let you off the hook if you had said a few nice words, but I didn't expect you to have such a temper. Go ahead and report this to the police."

"It's so late, do you think anyone will care about you?"

Mu Ya'an took a deep breath and took a few steps back, trying her best to buy time.

"It's so late. Although the officers have gone off duty, there are still many people out and about at night."

The male employee listened to Mu Ya'an's words with a puzzled expression.
