Bai Wanru stopped and looked at Xiaoxue, her red lips curving slightly.

"of course."

"But..." Xiaoxue hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"Let's not talk about unhappy people. Tell me how you've been lately? Although we've been in touch while we're abroad, there are some things that are hard to explain online." Bai Wanru took Xiaoxue's hand.

Xiaoxue's eyes darted away; she just smiled and shook her head.

"I'm fine. It's good that you're back. Now I have someone to rely on." Xiaoxue leaned close to Bai Wanru.

"The apartment you asked me to rent is in the city center, let's go there quickly, I've already cleaned it for you," Xiaoxue said excitedly.

Bai Wanru reached out and hugged Xiaoxue, saying sweetly to her, "Thank you, you're the best."

The two arrived at Bai Xue's temporary residence.

Xiaoxue asked curiously, "Why don't you go home to live? Your aunt and uncle haven't seen you in a long time, they must miss you a lot."

"Stop, I don't want to listen to their nagging. Besides, my target this time is the Mu family, the number one family in Shanghai. I don't want to involve them." Bai Wanru gave a wry smile.

Xiaoxue remained silent for a long time, and Bai Wanru, busy packing her luggage, did not notice Xiaoxue's unusual behavior.

After a long while, Xiaoxue finally spoke: "Wanru."

Her voice was dry.

"Wanru, perhaps I can help you." After saying that, Xiaoxue smiled bitterly.

Bai Wanru turned around curiously and looked at Xiaoxue.

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong? You seem so down," Bai Wanru asked gently.

Hearing Bai Wanru's caring words, Xiaoxue felt a warmth in her heart.

“I said I can help you.” Xiaoxue shook her head.

Bai Wanru tilted her head in confusion and took Xiaoxue's hand.

"I am currently working as a cook in the Mu family."

Xiaoxue mustered her courage, as if she had used up all her strength, and closed her eyes after speaking.

Bai Wanru tightened her grip on Xiaoxue's hand, looking at her anxiously: "Xiaoxue, what happened? How could you... how could you end up having to become a cook?"

Although Xiaoxue's family was not wealthy, they were not so poor that Xiaoxue had to become a cook.

Moreover, Xiaoxue is quite talented, and with her abilities, finding a good job is more than enough.

The concern of a close friend is the most deadly.

Even with her eyes closed, Xiaoxue couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

“My father had an accident, and my mother is seriously ill and we have spent a lot of money. The Mu family pays the cook a high salary, so I…” Xiaoxue’s voice choked with sobs.

"My mother is much better now, but she still needs expensive medicine to stay alive. I can't help it." Xiaoxue covered her face.

Bai Wanru hugged Xiaoxue tenderly and gently patted her back.

"Why didn't you tell me? If you had, I could have helped you. You're my best friend," Bai Wanru said, her voice full of tenderness.

"I don't want you to worry about these things while you're studying abroad, especially since my family is a bottomless pit right now," Xiaoxue said with a wry smile.

She looked at Bai Wanru and said again, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Wanru, if you need, I can help you gather evidence against the Mu family."

Bai Wanru kept her lips tightly closed; she didn't want her good friend to become a tool.

What's more, she didn't even help the other party when they were in their most difficult time.

Xiaoxue seemed to see through Bai Wanru's thoughts and said softly, "It's okay, I'll help you."

"However, Mrs. Mu is actually a very good person. Young Master Mu seems to have changed his ways recently; he rarely comes home these past few months and often stays at the company."

Hearing Xiaoxue address Mu Qingfeng as Young Master Mu, his expression turned even more unpleasant.

"Mu Qingfeng is a wicked man! How could he possibly change his ways!" Bai Wanru's face was filled with anger whenever Mu Qingfeng was mentioned.

Then she looked at Xiaoxue with concern, "He's an extremely lecherous man. He didn't lay a hand on you at his home, did he?"

Xiaoxue quickly shook her head in denial.

"No, he is very friendly to the servants in his house."

Bai Wanru frowned even more deeply.

friendly?

Is this word related to Mu Qingfeng?

When the two of them were together, Mu Qingfeng was gentle with her, but he never had a good temper with the people around him.

"Xiaoxue, since you want to help me, then try your best to keep an eye on Mu Qingfeng's movements." Bai Wanru patted Xiaoxue's hand.

Xiaoxue immediately nodded happily, "Mmm!"

Mu Qingfeng never expected that the cook in his household was actually Bai Wanru's best friend!

Xiaoxue met Bai Wanru on campus; she did not belong to the upper class.

She maintained a good friendship with Bai Wanru, but never used Bai Wanru's status to force her way into high society.

This is also what Bai Wanru likes most about Xiaoxue.

The Mu family...

Mu Qingfeng flipped through her predecessor's diary until seven o'clock in the morning, and finally couldn't take it anymore, so she leaned against the bed and fell asleep.

Mu Qingfeng didn't wake up until noon.

My whole body aches.

He made a phone call to the housekeeper.

"Butler Li, could you please call a cook to come back and prepare some meals today? I won't be going to the company this morning," Mu Qingfeng said in a hoarse voice.

After giving the instructions, Mu Qingfeng went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When it was almost 1 a.m., Xiaoxue rushed to the Mu family's house.

Xiaoxue's feelings were different this time when she returned to the Mu family.

She's back with a mission now.

According to Wanru, the Mu family has many shady dealings behind the scenes.

This completely overturned Xiaoxue's impression of the Mu family.

After all, Madam Mu was usually kind and approachable, and although the head of the Mu family was dignified, he would never reprimand his servants casually.

As for Young Master Mu Qingfeng, he used to be quite arrogant, but recently he treats his servants as well as his friends.

Last time she was scalded by hot soup, Young Master Mu immediately had Butler Li take her to the hospital.

Perhaps Wanru misunderstood Young Master Mu?

As Xiaoxue pondered this, she entered the Mu family's main hall.

As soon as she entered the living room, she saw Mu Qingfeng come out wrapped in a bath towel.

"what!"

Two screams rang out.

Mu Qingfeng put her hands in front of her, and the bath towel underneath was about to fall off.

He immediately freed one hand to cover himself with the bath towel.

Xiaoxue raised her hand to cover her eyes and turned her back.

"Xiaoxue? Why are you here so soon? I thought the cook wouldn't be back for a while." Mu Qingfeng's voice was filled with panic.

"I'm going back to change my clothes first."

There was no time for Xiaoxue's explanation; they were really going to fall off completely soon.

Hearing the clattering sounds and the door closing behind her, Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her hand, and slowly looked behind her.

Only after confirming that no one was around did he let out a long sigh of relief.

Xiaoxue's face turned bright red.

The scene from just now involuntarily flashed before her eyes.

The young master actually has eight-pack abs, broad shoulders, and a narrow back...

Xiaoxue shook her head, patted her face, and shook her head again.

No, I can’t think about it anymore.

She immediately went into the kitchen and washed her face.

Half an hour later, Xiaoxue called Mu Qingfeng out for dinner.

Mu Qingfeng sat down. There were four dishes and a soup on the table, all of which were his favorites.

"Xiaoxue, sit down and eat with us!"

He raised his finger and pointed to the opposite side.
