Capítulo 1363: Chapter 502: Ice and Fire
After 6 p.m.
Lin Muxue swiped her card to enter Lanfeng International High-end Apartnt, the click of her high heels on the marble floor ringing crisply.
She casually tossed her bag onto the custom shoe cabinet at the entrance and walked barefoot toward the floor-to-ceiling window.
Outside the window was the brilliant night view of Yan City, the towers of the financial center brightly lit, neon lights flashing, and traffic flowing like a weaving thread.
She stood high above, overlooking it all.
Her mind still echoed with her father’s words from the phone call.
Jujube cake, pebble bread, walnuts, honey sugar…
Those rural-sounding words tugged gently at the mory she had deliberately sealed away.
Scenes from the past surfaced along with these foods in her mind.
Mid-Autumn Reunion Festival, to say she didn’t miss her childhood ho at all would be a lie.
Yet she truly felt wronged and couldn’t get past that barrier.
Their family had two plots of land in the village, one written in her brother’s na, and the other promised for her.
But to buy a house for her brother, her plot was sold outright, fetching 70,000 yuan, plus 200,000 yuan of family savings, all given to her brother.
She still rembered the day her mother brought homade cured at to Yan City to visit her, and at the dinner table produced a mortgage calculation sheet along with a land transfer contract.
“Ding Dong——”
The phone’s WeChat notification sound pulled her back to reality.
{Zhenzhen: “Xue, I just returned ho today, and will go to Yan City with classmates on October 1st, staying at her place. I’ll contact you when I arrive.”}
Lin Muxue thought about it and replied: “Alright, do you need to pick you up at the station?”
{Zhenzhen: “No need, my classmate’s family lives in Yan City, she’s very familiar with the area.”}
After chatting with her cousin for a couple of sentences, Lin Muxue’s gaze turned wistful.
Lin Yuzhen is the child of her uncle and only two years younger than her.
Although she loves playing around, she’s quite good academically, got into a decent university, now in her third year.
Because of the close age, their relationship used to be quite good.
But later their contact dwindled, especially after she went to the South for college, started working, had a fallout with family, and never returned ho.
In recent two or three years, they barely contacted each other.
In her social dia circles, she often screened these groups, mainly wanting to bid farewell to the past.
Her gaze returned to the reflection on the glass—ticulous makeup, expensive attire.
Like a true urban elite.
No, not like.
She really is an urban elite now.
She works in the most prestigious office building, drinks hand-brewed Geisha coffee, lives in a high-end apartnt, uses the best skincare products, and can wear a different new stylish outfit each week.
From a girl who scrimped and saved 500 yuan living expenses at the cafeteria, she has beco what she once dreamt of being.
For soone who loves to flaunt, she indeed wishes her family and relatives to know her current sophisticated life, making them proud of her.
Now that her cousin Zhenzhen unexpectedly cos over, it arouses a bit of her desire to show off.
No matter how you put it, the feeling of returning ho in glory is the most enjoyable for her.
Taking a deep breath.
Lin Muxue picked up her phone and opened the banking app.
[Balance: 53,000 yuan]
This is all from her salary and part-ti earnings.
Besides, she also has 5 gold bars given by Tang Song.
The reason for this small amount, aside from her high expenses, is mainly helping Xu Ning pay off a lot of debts.
However, because the upcoming holiday is Mid-Autumn National Day, Rongliu Investnt will send out the month’s salary in advance tomorrow.
This is the first ti she will receive the salary for the “Chief Assistant” position, with an annual salary of 1.5 million yuan, excluding year-end bonus, monthly take-ho is over 70,000 yuan.
Thinking of this money, the weight in her heart was instantly dissipated.
She is such a worldly person, willing to break with family over money, also enjoying the security and satisfaction it brings.
When her cousin arrives, she’ll probably take her for a shopping spree to showcase her “financial prowess”.
“Buzz Buzz Buzz——” The phone vibrated.
A ssage popped up.
{Lin Tiantian: “Muxue, our team has completed coordination with Imperial College, all materials have passed the inspection. Your admission notice (CAS) will be sent to your email soon.”}
Lin Muxue broke into a radiant smile and quickly replied: “Received, thanks Tiantian!”
The excitent inside made her Emotionally High.
She couldn’t help but recall Tang Song’s words.
{“Go for it, Assistant Lin. Once you matriculate successfully, I’ll give you a special gift that you’ll definitely like.”}
Curious about what the “special gift” would be.
Luxury items? Gold bars? Custom couture? Jewelry?
Surely it wouldn’t be so kind of playful toy?
Thinking of that, a hint of bashfulness instinctively flashed across Lin Muxue’s face.
The last ga she played with the beautician seed a bit overboard.
Which makes her slightly embarrassed to et Qianqian now.
Silver-tongued, alluring fragrance.
Can’t deny the beautician is becoming more and more enchanting, no wonder Tang Song likes her so much.
After a while, Lin Muxue rubbed her flushed cheeks, sat down at the desk, and began morizing vocabulary.
…
September 29th, 2023, Thursday, the 14th of August in the lunar calendar.
A faint layer of pale blue erged outside the window, the morning mist had yet to dissipate, and autumn’s chill seeped through the half-open window.
Cheng Qiuyu slowly opened her eyes, her eyelashes gently fluttering.
For so reason, it felt like sothing was missing last night.
