Mu Ya'an glanced at Madam Rui, then spoke softly.

“Juncheng has always been a person who values ​​loyalty and righteousness very much. The matter concerning the Gong family is something the Mu family has wronged him about. I am willing to stay by his side to atone for my sins.”

When Reina heard Mu Ya'an say that, her expression immediately turned angry.

She looked at Mu Ya'an, took a deep breath, and said sarcastically.

"I think you don't want to atone for your sins. You just want to get close to Juncheng now that he's successful."

"Don't you know that Juncheng already has a fiancée? You're still clinging to him like this, it's disgusting."

Mu Ya'an listened to Reina's words without refuting them.

Madam Rui's face darkened, and she glanced at Rui Na with displeasure.

"Rina, when did the Rui family produce someone as ill-mannered as you?"

Gong Juncheng glanced indifferently at Mu Ya'an, then said in a deep voice.

"Since you've come to atone for your sins, then be polite to my guests. No one is allowed to sit at the dinner table tonight."

Upon hearing this, a hint of grievance flashed in Mu Ya'an's eyes. She bit her lip lightly and then nodded.

"it is good."

Seeing that although she had been criticized by Madam Rui, Mu Ya'an had not gotten any good results either, a hint of joy flashed in Reina's eyes.

Seeing that Reina's happiness was written all over her face, Madam Rui shook her head slightly.

Mu Ya'an may seem gentle and weak, but she is not an easy person to deal with.

If Reina displays all her emotions and feelings on her face like this, she'll probably soon incur Gong Juncheng's disgust.

Moreover, it's impossible for Gong Juncheng to be completely unaware of Rui Na's ulterior motives towards him.

Instead, Reina accused Mu Ya'an of being shameless, which completely blocked her own path.

This girl is still too young.

“Mr. Gong, we have spoiled Reina since she was a child. You don’t need to hold a grudge against Miss Mu. This matter is Reina’s fault. Reina, apologize to Miss Mu.”

"mom......"

Reina was very dissatisfied. She didn't quite understand what Mrs. Reina wanted to do now, and looked at Mrs. Reina with great resentment.

"I'm not going to apologize to her. What's there to be afraid of about a young lady from a fallen family?"

Reina spoke without thinking at all.

Mu Ya'an was walking towards the restaurant when she heard Reina's words. She paused slightly, glanced in Gong Juncheng's direction, and finally continued walking away.

Gong Juncheng watched Mu Ya'an's departing figure and recalled what Reina had just said; his expression immediately darkened.

The Gong family also fell into decline.

Reina's words just now not only looked down on Mu Ya'an, but also stung Gong Juncheng.

He, too, was once looked down upon, just like Mu Ya'an.

Seeing that Gong Juncheng's face had darkened, Madam Rui gave Rui Na a hopeless look.

Reina was completely unaware of her mistake and sat at the table, happily enjoying her meal.

Mu Ya'an spent the entire night in her room.

After Mrs. Rui and Reina finished their meal, Reina wanted to take a look around the Orchid Garden.

However, Madam Rui noticed that Gong Juncheng's mood was not very high during the meal, and he didn't even talk much. It was obvious that his mood had been affected by Reina's words. So she pulled Reina's hand and said in a deep voice.

"It's getting late. Mr. Gong has official business to attend to tomorrow, so we should head back now."

"Mr. Gong, thank you for your hospitality."

Reina looked at Gong Juncheng with a dissatisfied expression and pleading eyes.

"Brother Juncheng, I'd like to visit your yard some more. Could you take us back later?"

Gong Juncheng looked at Rui Na's sincere expression with indifference.

"Rina, it's getting late tonight, and there's not much to see around here. I'll have the driver take you back to your hotel."

driver?

Reina paused for a moment.

"Juncheng, aren't you going to see us off?"

Gong Juncheng shook his head.

"If I take you to your hotel, it might cause some unnecessary trouble if reporters take pictures. It's already late, and I'm a bit tired. I'll take you to other places to play another day."

How could Reina not know that what Gong Juncheng was saying now was just polite talk?

Gong Juncheng, who had been so polite just moments before, suddenly changed his attitude, which inevitably led Reina to place all the blame on Mu Ya'an.

She wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Rui grabbed her hand and led her into the car.

After getting into the car, Reina gave Mrs. Reina a disgruntled look.

"Mom, what exactly do you mean? Why are you stopping me from spending time with Juncheng? If it weren't for you..."

Mrs. Rui's face darkened when she saw Reina speaking so recklessly in the car, and she then glanced in the direction of the driver.

Reina immediately understood, glanced at Madam Reina with displeasure, and fell silent.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Reina got out of the car and walked straight inside, completely ignoring Mrs. Reina behind her.

Mrs. Rui maintained her composure, slowly alighting from the car. Seeing that Rui Na had already left, she shook her head helplessly, then politely thanked Gong Juncheng's driver.

"Thank you for taking us back so late."

The driver smiled politely and was very respectful.

"Mrs. Rui is too kind."

Mrs. Rui smiled slightly, watched the driver leave, and then turned and walked into the hotel.

Throughout the entire process, she demonstrated her knowledge, humility, and politeness to the fullest.

In comparison, Reina had no advantage whatsoever, and the driver simply treated her as a spoiled young lady.

......

Inside the house, Mu Ya'an heard the sound of a car leaving and assumed that Gong Juncheng had driven Reina and Mrs. Reina away.

Thinking about Gong Juncheng's attitude towards Rui Na and Madam Rui, Mu Ya'an felt a little sad.

He was too polite to them, but he was not polite to her at all, and often spoke ill of her.

Deep down, she was actually quite envious of Reina, who was able to speak so freely in front of Gong Juncheng.

If she were to say those words, Gong Junchen would probably want to grind her to dust.

Mu Ya'an took a deep breath and was about to open the door to go out when the door was opened from the outside.

She paused for a moment, took a few steps back, and saw Gong Juncheng standing at her room door, speaking in a cold voice.

"Let's go out for a meal."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an's earlier disappointment completely vanished.

These are things that servants could easily do, yet Gong Juncheng is now personally inviting her to dinner. Clearly, the dynamic between them is changing.

Her perseverance over this period of time has finally paid off.

"it is good."

She forced a faint smile, looked up, and stared at Gong Juncheng's icy face.

Gong Juncheng merely glanced at her indifferently before turning away, turning to leave, and walking to sit down on the sofa in the living room.

Mu Ya'an left the room and headed towards the dining room.

The tableware that Reina and Mrs. Reina had just used had been completely removed, and all the food had been prepared anew.

When the maid saw Mu Ya'an approaching, she quickly pulled out a chair for her and whispered something.

"It's clear that the gentleman is thinking about Miss Mu. After you went back to your room, he barely ate anything. Even when the two ladies and young lady were talking to him, he seemed very restless."
