Chapter 170 - Rejoiced Too Soon

Chapter 170: Rejoiced Too Soon

Old Lady Mu was giddy with joy as she looked at the car. She then realized what Mu Xue had meant when she’d said that there was no need to hurry. As it turned out, they had met again.

Mu Xue listened to Old Lady Mu’s hushed, excited voice as she looked at the figure walking over under the setting sun. She bit her lips as her heart beat faster.

While his back was facing the setting sun, she felt that his body was basking in golden light. When he reached her, Mu Xue hurriedly asked, “Why are you here?”

Ji Buwang was also very surprised. “I didn’t expect to meet you again, but it’s very nice.”

He took his wallet out of his bag and said, “I’ve got to thank you for paying for the cost of replacing the tire. Since I ran into you here, I’ll return the money to you now. Thank you.”

Mu Xue saw that he was polite, and her gaze fell on his slender hand. She hesitated for a moment before taking the money. “It’s nothing. I was just afraid that they wouldn’t come. It’s not much money, but I’ll take it since you’re returning it.”

After saying that, Mu Xue laughed heartily and looked up at Ji Buwang. “Why are you here?”

“I’m looking for someone.” Ji Buwang tapped his fingers on his wallet before asking, “Do you know where Mu Jingzhe lives? I have some business dealings with her. It’s the New Year, so I came to visit her and give her a New Year’s gift.”

This was Ji Buwang’s first time there, and he had made ample inquiries. He knew that there were many people doing business with Mu Jingzhe now, so he had come up with this excuse. This way, he wouldn’t cause Mu Jingzhe any trouble and he could also show his stance.

After parting with her on an unpleasant note in the capital previously, Ji Buwang couldn’t wait for Mu Jingzhe to come to the county city.

Ji Buwang didn’t notice that Mu Xue’s expression changed slightly when he mentioned Mu Jingzhe. The smile on her face froze, and even the light in her eyes dimmed greatly.

Behind Mu Xue, Old Lady Mu, who had been pretending to be invisible as she listened secretly, pulled a long face.

Mu Jingzhe? Why was he looking for Mu Jingzhe? Wasn’t this Tang Moling’s uncle? How did he know Mu Jingzhe?

Mu Xue didn’t speak for a while, but Old Lady Mu couldn’t help but jump out. “How do you know Mu Jingzhe? Do you also know Tang Moling?”

When Ji Buwang heard Tang Moling’s name, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Xue. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something. “Are you the Miss Mu who was previously engaged to Xiao Ling?”

Ji Buwang nodded at Mu Xue and Old Lady Mu. “Hello, I’m Ji Buwang, Xiao Ling’s uncle. Xiao Ling has a childish temper and he troubled you guys. I’m sorry.”

Old Lady Mu hadn’t expected him to really be Tang Moling’s uncle. Ignoring his apology, she just tried to discover more. “You haven’t answered yet. How do you know Mu Jingzhe?”

“I’ve known Jingzhe for a long time. I have some business dealings with her now.” Considering that Old Lady Mu was fuming, Ji Buwang didn’t expect her to tell him Mu Jingzhe’s address. He calmly explained, nodded, and left.

He went to ask someone else instead.

Old Lady Mu looked at Ji Buwang’s back with a dark expression. “What did he mean by business dealings? Mu Jingzhe only sells hair ornaments. Don’t tell me he’s involved in selling hair ornaments?”

Old Lady Mu immediately saw through this excuse. This guy was there to look for Mu Jingzhe. Look at the things he was carrying. This was very similar to how Tang Moling had looked when he’d previously gone to the Mu Residence to look for Mu Xue. It was obvious that he was there to please Mu Jingzhe.

Old Lady Mu hadn’t expected Tang Moling’s uncle to like Mu Jingzhe. No wonder Mu Jingzhe had said that she didn’t like Tang Moling. It turned out that there was someone better.

Since she had the uncle who had snatched Tang Moling’s successor status, what would she need Tang Moling for?

Old Lady Mu’s face turned green from anger. “She sure can hold things in. She didn’t even say a word.”

When Mu Xue heard Old Lady Mu’s words, she didn’t show anything on her face. However, the money that she had just taken from Ji Buwang was crushed into a ball.

Her thoughts were a mess, and she held her breath. She had just told her grandmother that they weren’t from the same world. She felt that she wasn’t worthy of such a person, but in the end, he’d turned around to look for Mu Jingzhe. Not anyone else, but her old enemy, Mu Jingzhe, who had been married before and had five children.

If even Mu Jingzhe was worthy of him, then she…

As she was thinking about this, she heard Old Lady Mu say, “What’s wrong with all of them? First, there was Tang Moling, and now, there’s his uncle. Besides, it’s Mu Jingzhe. What kind of drug did she use on them to make them so obsessed?”

When Mu Xue heard the words ‘Tang Moling’ and then ‘Uncle’, she suddenly laughed out loud.

At that moment, Mu Xue knew very well that the possibility of Tang Moling getting together with Mu Jingzhe after breaking off his engagement to her was almost zero.

Tang Moling had been willing to abandon her for Mu Jingzhe, but he would never get his wish in this lifetime. With such an uncle, why would Mu Jingzhe choose him?

Upon thinking that Tang Moling loved a woman he couldn’t have and he would be forced to call the woman he loved ‘Aunt’, Mu Xue laughed even harder.

“Ha ha… This is retribution. Retribution.”

Seeing the person he liked be in a loving relationship with his uncle had to cause him a lot of pain. He would now understand the pain she’d gone through when she couldn’t accept him and Mu Jingzhe being together.

Old Lady Mu was startled by Mu Xue’s reaction. “Xiao Xue, what’s wrong with you? Don’t be so angry. If you’re really angry, we can snatch that uncle for you. They’re not married anyway. You’re really good. As long as he has eyes, he will definitely choose you…”

As Mu Xue listened to Old Lady Mu’s words, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. After thinking for a while, she suddenly remembered that this seemed to be what Li Zhaodi had told Mu Jingzhe before.

She had accidentally heard Li Zhaodi comfort Mu Jingzhe this way once.

When she’d heard that, she had sneered. At the time, she had been angry and had felt that the two of them were pitiful and unredeemable. How could they have led such a life?

She hadn’t expected to hear this from Old Lady Mu one day, from the Old Lady Mu who thought of her as her treasure and Mu Jingzhe as grass.

Was she going to end up like the old Mu Jingzhe in the future? No, no, definitely not!

Mu Xue felt a chill down her spine and interrupted Old Lady Mu sternly. “Grandma, how can you say such things? I’ve never thought of snatching Mu Jingzhe’s things. How can I possibly snatch her things?”

This was a form of humiliation to her, a rejection of sorts. She definitely couldn’t take this path of no return.

If she snatched this, she would completely switch places with Mu Jingzhe. She couldn’t do that. She would never allow herself to become such a pitiful person, nor would she allow herself to become such a joke.

“Grandma, don’t say such things in the future. No matter who Mu Jingzhe marries or how her life is, I just want to live well. I’ve never lived my life according to how others live theirs.”

Mu Xue spoke firmly, and Old Lady Mu didn’t dare continue.

However, there were some things that couldn’t be ignored just because one didn’t want to look at them, especially when that person’s life was getting better and better, and it was becoming increasingly impossible to ignore these things.

When Ji Buwang arrived, it was just as everyone was about to get off work. Many people saw him and even heard Old Lady Mu’s conversation with them. Soon, everyone in the village knew that Mu Jingzhe was acquainted with Mu Xue’s ex-fiancé’s uncle.
