They didn’t hear the na Jing Qing from any of these people, and they didn’t even hear about a woman. Qin Mu leaned into his embrace after listening and asked in a low voice, "Do you know this Jian Da’an ntioned by the person?"
"I will know him very soon!"
He said.
That night, Qin Mu cuddled with Huanhuan in her own bed, trying to soothe Huanhuan to sleep, and then suffered from insomnia until after midnight.
Mu Yichen had not returned all evening.
It wasn’t until after one or two in the morning that the door to the room was gently pushed open again.
----
The man nad Xian Da’an had left the city as soon as the incident occurred yesterday. Mu Yichen had people pursue him along several routes, chasing him for most of the night before finally managing to catch him in an ordinary hotel in Lin City.
When that man ntioned the Jing Family, Mu Yichen already knew who the person ntioned in the sentence Qiao Yi said yesterday was.
At breakfast, Mu Yichen shared the details with the whole family at the dining table. Mu Zihao and Feng Fanghua were incredulous: Why would the old master of the Jing Family get involved?
"For the sake of his own granddaughter."
Mu Yichen glanced at his mother who had asked the question.
"Ah, the old master’s lifeti of renown, just ruined like this."
Mu Zihao sighed unconsciously and shook his head.
"So, what do you plan to do?"
Feng Fanghua asked another curious question.
"I plan to take the loss."
Mu Yichen and Qin Mu exchanged a glance, and Qin Mu gave a serious answer.
"What?"
Feng Fanghua looked at her in disbelief.
"It’s not because I’m afraid, but because imdiate revenge won’t bring the result I most desire. If Jing Qing remains in the shadows, then I will always be at a disadvantage. This ti, I’ll take the loss."
Feng Fanghua listened but did not understand, frowning while staring at her.
"She must already know that we are aware of the origins of this affair and will expect imdiate retaliation from , especially since Yichen overturned their new house last ti. So even if we let the police detain her for questioning today, the Jing Family must have already co up with a counterasure. We can do nothing to her, therefore, I’ll take this loss."
"Then won’t she bully you even more in the future?"
"I have you all, and my head isn’t so easily bullied by her. However she tornts , I’ll make sure she gets back double in the future."
Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao exchanged glances, not understanding a word of their daughter-in-law’s plan.
But Mu Yichen, not asking a single question, ate his breakfast with the trusting look of soone who believes in her completely.
Before nine in the morning, she arrived at the studio and then knocked on Xiaoi’s desk.
Xiaoi, who was buried in sorting files, looked up to see her.
"Did you keep the phone number of the actress from Jingshang Entertainnt last week?"
"Yes!"
Xiaoi thought for a mont and answered half a beat slow.
"Call her and notify her that I will design her gown!"
"But didn’t you say you wouldn’t take orders from Jingshang Entertainnt?"
"I’m taking them now!"
Qin Mu flashed a bright smile, then turned and went upstairs.
Xiaoi’s curious eyes followed Qin Mu as she went upstairs, then instinctively glanced at her colleague beside her: What’s gotten into her?
The colleague shrugged, and Xiaoi blinked, unable to make head or tail of the situation before resuming her search for the business card. But there were so many cards in the drawer that it took her quite a while to find the right one.
At noon, the actress ca to their studio and took a seat in Qin Mu’s office.
After serving up coffee, Xiaoi sat next to Qin Mu. Knowing that Xiaoi’s curiosity got the better of her, Qin Mu didn’t scold her, and instead spoke to the relatively elegant actress sitting across from her: "Our collaboration should be kept secret."
"That’s exactly what I had in mind. I heard the last ti you secretly designed a gown for another one of our actresses. Are you and Jing Qing sworn enemies?"
The woman was obviously too smart, but Qin Mu did not hide it: "Exactly."
The actress picked up her coffee, chuckled, and then sipped.
"The coffee at your studio is not bad."
"I heard Miss Wen is Jing Qing’s biggest rival at Jingshang, is that true?"
Xiaoi had been following this actress’s historical drama, so she was quite curious about her.
"I intend to compete with her, but with my abilities..."
Miss Wen intelligently didn’t flatter herself, shaking her head involuntarily as she spoke: The difference between our backgrounds is not a negligible margin.
"She has the Jing Family, but don’t you have President Zhang?"
Xiaoi imdiately spoke up bluntly, and Qin Mu instinctively looked at her, realizing that this girl knew more than she did.
"Heh, I’m Miss Wen’s thermoter."
Xiaoi imdiately responded with a laugh when she noticed Qin Mu’s gaze.
