When Mu Lingyan's hand was distracted, he came to a place where he shouldn't have come, which caused Xingyue's body to be sour and numb, but Xingyue's strength was not comparable to Mu Lingyan's at all, and she struggled to no avail.

"Mu Lingyan! You bastard! ”

But her struggles were in vain.

Seeing that Mu Lingyan was about to break through the last barrier, Xingyue struggled, and in despair, she pleaded hoarse and painfully: "Please, please, Mu Lingyan please, don't." ”

Xingyue cried silently, and successfully pulled Mu Lingyan's consciousness back.

He just looked down at her weeping eyes.

"Do you remember what I said to you when I was in the United States?"

Mu Lingyan asked without emotion.

Xingyue was still trembling with fear, and her red eyes avoided his gaze.

"I said there would be no next time."

Mu Lingyan stepped out of bed with long legs, grabbed his clothes, and strode out of the bedroom.

An hour later, there was another knock on the bedroom door.

Mu Xingyue, who was already dressed, was startled, and subconsciously protected the neckline of her clothes with both hands.

"Miss Xingyue, is it convenient for me to come in?"

Outside the door, it was Ted.

It was the middle of the night, and there was only one reason why Ted appeared in this villa: it could only be Mu Lingyan who asked him to come.

He didn't say anything else, and handed An Yicheng a bank card.

It's not the previous exclusive card, it's just an ordinary bank card.

"The money in this is more than enough for your living needs. It was the boss who asked me to bring it to you. ”

Xingyue didn't answer, she lowered her head and didn't speak, and Ted couldn't see her expression.

"The boss says that if you don't want to do something, he won't force you. He hopes that you will always be the brightest person smiling at the sun on the Seattle cruise ship. ”

Seattle...... Ted's words reminded Xingyue of that month.

When she was in Seattle, it was Xingyue's happiest day, and from the moment she knew that she was going to return to China, she knew that that kind of happiness would never happen again.

Trying to get rid of the memories of herself, Xingyue shook her head: "I won't ask for his money......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Tyde take out a stack of papers from his file bag.

"This money is not for you. It's lent to you. This is a borrowing agreement. ”

Xingyue looked at the agreement in disbelief.

It says that this money was lent to Mu Xingyue by Mu Lingyan, and Mu Xingyue must repay the loan within three years, otherwise, Mu Xingyue must unconditionally agree to any request from Mu Lingyan.

The softness in my heart just now because of the memories of Seattle was instantly squeezed by this agreement.

Xingyue was by the content of the agreement.

"Mu Lingyan is a bastard! What is not forced, what wants me to be happy, it is all a lie! He's a hypocritical bastard! ”

On the one hand, he said that he would let himself go, and on the other hand, he wanted to bind himself with money and debts!

That's right, he can do this kind of thing when he has Jiang Xinrou's real girlfriend, and he is not a decent gentleman!

Ted could see Xingyue's emotional changes, but he didn't know that Xingyue was shouting and cursing at Mu Lingyan in his heart.

"Star ......"

Ted's words had just begun, but was interrupted by Xingyue's movements.

Mu Xingyue picked up the agreement, held it high above his head, and was about to throw it out!

"No ......"

No!

Ted was about to pick up the thrown paperball, but he didn't see it thrown out.

He looked at Xingyue inexplicably.

The latter held the ball of paper aloft, and the expression on her face indicated that she was thinking quickly.

The thoughts gradually became clear in Xingyue's mind:

"He Mu Lingyan wants to control her with money and debts, and not letting him succeed is the best counterattack for him; But what if he thinks he has succeeded, but in the end, he is made to touch his nose? ”

Thinking so, Xingyue reopened the paper ball and looked at the dense words on it.

"I go out to live, and although I will look for a job and get paid, I also need to pay rent, eat, etc., before I get paid, so I just need a sum of money. Mu Lingyan gave me money, just like me. Moreover, all his bargaining chips are that I cannot support myself and can only rely on his former life; But if I had to start with a small amount of money, maybe 5,000, maybe 10,000, and then I would have been on my own, I would have been able to borrow money in no time. Not only did he successfully get through the initial stage, but he could also slap Mu Lingyan in the face hard! ”

Thinking about it, the feeling of aggrieved in Mu Xingyue's heart dissipated, and was replaced by the pleasure of a successful counterattack. She seemed to have seen Mu Lingyan's dumbfounded appearance when she made Mu Lingyan's abacus fail.

Ted watched in confusion as Xingyue's expression changed from anger to smug laughter, completely confused.

"Miss Xingyue?" He called her tentatively.

Xingyue, who had already sorted out her thoughts, went to a pen, brushed and wrote her name on the agreement: Mu Xingyue, and then stamped a red fingerprint on the signature with the ink in Ted's hand.

Ted didn't expect everything to go so smoothly, and retracted the crumpled agreement with some incredulity, while saying goodbye to Mu Xingyue in a nutshell.

didn't waste time, Xingyue packed her simple luggage overnight, said goodbye to Xiaoyou and them, and left the Mu family villa with her small suitcase.

In the study of the villa.

Mu Lingyan watched with a gloomy face as Xingyue dragged his suitcase out of the door.

He saw that she was in a relaxed mood, and even opened her arms and made a gesture of hugging the air, and his face became even more ugly.

Ted knew that Mu Lingyan was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to stand aside.

"She saw the agreement, signed it without any objections?"

Ted swallowed and foamed at the mouth before saying, "Yes." Originally, Miss Xingyue wanted to break the agreement, but for some reason, she didn't do it. ”

Mu Lingyan pinched his eyebrows with a headache.

He still underestimated Mu Xingyue.

originally thought that she was helpless and could stay by her side honestly; And the so-called debt agreement is just to scare her, letting her know that living independently is not as easy as she imagined.

But...... She was too unexpected for him.

Mu Lingyan watched Xingyue's small figure get into the car and leave.

Ted also didn't expect Xingyue to make such a decision, but at the same time, he secretly admired that the little girl who looked soft and weak on the outside was actually very strong on the inside.

"You find someone to watch her secretly, and if anything happens, report it to me at any time."

Mu Lingyan said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Ted answered and left the study.

In the empty study, Mu Lingyan was the only one left.

He opened the first drawer of his desk and pulled out an old, yellowed photograph from inside.

In the photo, a group of children, ranging in age from a few years old to a teenager, are standing on a park-like grounds, hugging each other and smiling happily at the camera.

Mu Lingyan's eyes fell on a child in the photo and looked at it for a long time.

After a long time, he let out a sigh.

I put the photo back in the hidden corner of the drawer.

***

Living independently is not that simple.

Xingyue dragged her suitcase and found it dark from dawn, but she didn't find a suitable place to live.

It's not that she's picky, she's also found some shared bedrooms.

But the strange thing is that the price of the rental has already been negotiated, and after a while, the landlord regrets it and is unwilling to rent it to her.

After doing so a few times, Xingyue couldn't hold it anymore, and she asked the landlords why they didn't rent the house to her, and several landlords either looked embarrassed and couldn't say it clearly, or they played scoundrels to drive her away.

So, after three days, Xingyue still hasn't found a place to stay.

In order to save money, not to use too much money from Mu Lingyan's bank card, these nights, Xingyue has been carrying luggage, lying on the table in Grandpa Ken's 24-hour store, sleeping on the table for one night, and then getting up early the next day, and then looking for a house.

On the morning of the fourth day, Xingyue dragged her suitcase again and walked out of Grandpa Ken's store in the crowd of people buying breakfast.

"If you can't find a house today, where will you deal with it tonight?"

Xingyue thought sleepily.

Underneath her eyes were dark circles, all thanks to the lack of good rest in the past few days.

She guessed the reason for the failure of renting, it must be Mu Lingyan obstructing her behind her back, wanting to force her to go back and bow her head to him, but she didn't!

She didn't believe it, without Mu Lingyan, she Xingyue wouldn't be able to do anything!

It doesn't matter if she doesn't have memories of the past, she has herself!

After giving herself a few injections, Mu Xingyue began to re-devote herself to the rental business.

RK Group, Office of the General Secretary.

"What?! No place to sleep for days?! Still looking for a place to live? ”

Hearing the report of the person who was spying on Mu Xingyue and coming back, Ted was simply shocked.

originally thought that if Miss Xingyue suffered a little, she would know that she was wrong, and she would come back to them, return to the villa, and be the eldest lady who had no worries about food and clothing.

This is just like many other eldest ladies, when Xingyue used to be an easy orange, wasn't she also a pampered eldest lady?

Where did she get so much energy?

"Ade, what do we do now?"

The one who spoke was the captain of Mu Lingyan's personal bodyguard, Wu Xiuyuan.

"If we let Mu Shao know that we forced Mu Xingyue to sit and sleep in Grandpa Ken's shop for three nights, we might not only lose our jobs, but also be beaten up."

Wu Xiuyuan seemed to recall something in the past that scared him, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"I didn't expect her to be a stubborn girl." Ted was also a little embarrassed.

With Xingyue's cleverness, he must have known that they were secretly making trouble;

But this made her hold her breath, just to prove herself;

If you continue to fight hard, not only will Xingyue continue to suffer, but the most terrifying thing is that the boss will also find out that something is wrong;

And the boss found out that he and Wu Xiuyuan had wronged Xingyue so much...... Ted also shuddered!

He thought about it and bit his ear at Wu Xiuyuan.

Wu Xiuyuan frowned and thought about it, nodded, and now he can only do this.
