Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Mu Qing is calling me! He’s calling me!’

Although Ye Xin was still trying to decide if she should answer the call, her fingers instinctively pressed on the phone to answer the call. She tried her best to keep her voice calm as she said, “Hello?”

“My mother has invited guests over tomorrow. Did she tell you about this?”

Mu Qing’s icy voice caused Ye Xin’s heart to turn cold. She said tremblingly, “N-no…”

“My mother is having guests over, but she didn’t tell you. Don’t you think there’s a problem? Did you make her unhappy? Is that why she longer trusts you and doesn’t want to see you?” Mu Qing asked.

Ye Xin was confused. “No…”

“No? My mother asked Liang Zhou to help her entertain the guests tomorrow, and she said there’s no need for you to be present. Do you think that’s normal? You’re the Young Madam of the Mu family, and what’s Liang Zhou’s identity? She doesn’t want you to entertain the guests, but she invited Liang Zhou to do so. Shouldn’t you reflect on yourself and be more alert?” Mu Qing asked. His voice was very stern.

Ye Xin was filled with grievances. Nevertheless, she said coldly, “Perhaps, the Old Madam plans to accept Liang Zhou? With that, won’t you be able to openly return to the Mu family? Isn’t that what you’ve been waiting for? You’re really capable, trying to use me as a stepping stone to gain your mother’s favor. Sorry, I’m not capable. I’m not even as good as a woman from the streets…”

Mu Qing interjected angrily, “Ye Xin! Are you done with acting crazy?”

“No! I’m crazy! So what?” Ye Xin seemed to have forgotten she was on the street. She squatted down and began to cry.

Mu Qing was so angry that he almost threw his phone. He suppressed his anger before he finally said, “Go home now!”

Ye Xin’s anger rose upon hearing these words. She yelled, “I don’t have a home! I don’t have a home!”

After saying that, she disconnected the call. She hailed a cab and asked to be brought to Cloudy Peak.

Her tears continued to fall as she sat in the cab. Not only did Mu Qing not apologize to her, but he even yelled at her. She clearly had no place in his heart at all. However, she foolishly offered herself to him and devoted herself to him. Even then, he did not treasure her at all.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When the cab turned into the familiar street of Cloudy Peak, Ye Xin instinctively wiped the tears off her face. She could not continue to cry. Otherwise, she would be seen through. She felt mentally drained. She had to lie every day, and she had lied so much that she did not even know if she had been exposed or not.

As soon as Ye Xin walked in, she saw the helpers tidying up the garden. The garden was specifically used to host parties. It seemed like Mu Qing was right. Jiang Jin planned to host a party but did not even inform her of it. With that, the flames of fury rose in her heart again.

Coincidentally, Jiang Jin walked over at this moment.

Ye Xin approached Jiang Jin and asked, “Grandma, why didn’t you tell me you’re hosting a party?”

Jiang Jin smiled. “It’s only a small party for the elderly. There’s no need to trouble you.”

Ye Xin pouted. She said, aggrieved, “Grandma, you didn’t ask for my help but asked for Ms. Liang’s help instead. You clearly favor her more even when she bullies me. Do you know she called me just to brag about this? She wanted to show off how good you are to her!”

Jiang Jin looked surprised. “When did she call you?”

Ye Xin simply said, “Not too long ago.”

“I… I don’t have the Young Madam’s mobile phone number,” someone said softly.

Then, Liang Zhou timidly stepped forward from behind Ye Xin with a confused and skeptical expression on her face.
