— Mu Yinyin: [Investigate the previous matters thoroughly. I need evidence from the time she got married.]
— Meng Tao: [Okay]
Mu Yinyin put down her phone, her expression calm yet a little cold.
The photos just now were all intimate pictures of He Xia with a man, with clear addresses.
However, these were all things that happened after her father passed away.
When her father was still alive, some evidence was still lacking.
When the time came, she would make He Xia infamous.
Time continued to tick by.
It was time for lunch when Jiang Ling woke up. He was afraid Mu Yinyin might be resting, so he sent her a message.
— Jiang Ling: [Are you resting?]
— Mu Yinyin: [You woke up so early? Why didn't you rest longer?]
— Jiang Ling: [Maybe I'm hungry because it's lunchtime. What do you want to eat?]
— Mu Yinyin: [Anything is fine.]
— Jiang Ling: [Then I'll have someone send it over.]
— Mu Yinyin: [Okay]
Mu Yinyin put down her phone again, her eyes holding a hint of complexity. She guessed that Jiang Ling might have deliberately woken up at this time to find her, fearing she wouldn't eat well.
After waiting a while longer, there was a knock on Mu Yinyin's door.
Mu Yinyin walked to the door and opened it. It was Jiang Ling.
Seeing that he was in good condition, Mu Yinyin moved aside and said softly, "You should have slept longer."
"It's enough. I usually don't get to sleep this much." Jiang Ling's lips curved into a gentle smile, looking exceptionally at ease.
Mu Yinyin shook her head helplessly. In this situation, there was nothing she could say.
Neither of them spoke, mainly because they didn't know what to say.
In their situation, the atmosphere was sometimes a bit strange.
After about another ten minutes, there was another knock on the door. Before Mu Yinyin could move, Jiang Ling stood up, "I'll get it."
Mu Yinyin remained silent, her eyes complex. She knew that Jiang Ling still liked her and even wanted to be with her, but... sometimes emotions couldn't be forced. She also didn't want to drag Jiang Ling down.
After all, she was a divorced woman, and Jiang Ling was in the prime of his youth. She didn't want to hold him back.
Soon, Jiang Ling had arranged all the food on the table. He looked at Mu Yinyin and smiled, "Wash your hands and let's eat."
"Okay." Mu Yinyin collected her thoughts and went to the restroom. When she returned, she sat opposite him and they ate together.
In the middle, Jiang Ling spoke, "I have some business to attend to this afternoon and might not be back until tonight. You should stay in the hotel and don't go anywhere."
Mu Yinyin nodded cooperatively, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Jiang Ling glanced at her. Although he was a little skeptical, he ultimately chose to believe her and said again, "Apart from Gao Zhusheng, the others are probably not that difficult. I'm meeting with the head of the Liu Corporation today, and the Li Corporation the day after tomorrow. The Li Corporation might be a bit troublesome, but it's much easier than Gao Zhusheng."
The Li Corporation.
Mu Yinyin's gaze paused. Although the Li Corporation was easier to deal with than Gao Zhusheng, he was also a tough opponent, prioritizing profit above all else, but he wasn't as lecherous as Gao Zhusheng.
"Yinyin?"
Seeing her silence, Jiang Ling felt a bit uneasy.
Mu Yinyin quickly came back to her senses and nodded, "Mm, I'm listening. Don't worry, I won't go out."
Jiang Ling nodded then and said nothing more.
It was already noon, and in China, it was precisely the time when everyone was resting.
And so, He Xia was also in bed.
However...
She was not in her usual home, but in another villa under her name.
This was a place only she knew about, not even Nan Shiqing knew, because she came here when she wanted to do those sordid things.
In the bedroom, besides her, there was a man nearly thirty years old.
The man was handsome and delicate-looking, a typical puppy-dog type, very popular with women.
He was the one He Xia had once falsely claimed to be her cousin.
Tonight was another time for them to meet. Primarily, He Xia couldn't resist seeing him, so she had arranged to meet him again.
As for the puppy-dog Liang Mu, he had always been kept by her, so whatever the woman said, he would do. He just needed to happily accept the money.
He Xia had already taken a shower. Seeing Liang Mu sitting on the edge of the bed smiling intimately at her, He Xia couldn't control the heat within her. She immediately walked over to Liang Mu, sat on his lap, and hugged his neck.
"Baby, sister missed you so much. I really missed you." He Xia's voice was a little weak, but she still exuded a certain charm in front of the man.
Although she was no longer young, she had maintained herself very well, looking like a woman in her early thirties, still quite attractive to men.
As for Liang Mu, besides taking money from her, he also enjoyed himself quite a bit, finding this woman to be quite good and comfortable.
He now hugged He Xia back, looking up with doting eyes and smiling, "Baby, I missed you too."
He Xia, who was called "baby" despite her age, felt no discomfort. Instead, she directly kissed the man's lips, and while kissing, she said, "Since you missed me, show me with your actions."
The man chuckled softly, immediately picked her up, and while kissing her, placed her on the bed.
Soon, the two moved to the main event.
An hour later.
They finally calmed down.
He Xia lay on the bed, panting, and said with a flushed face, "You seemed even more powerful today."
The man curved his lips slightly and pulled her into his arms, "It's all for you, to serve you like a dog."
He Xia couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You naughty boy, talking nonsense again."
"Does sister not like it?" Liang Mu's voice was soft, and his gaze was exceptionally tender.
"I like it, of course, I like it." He Xia leaned into the man's embrace, truly addicted.
This boy was excellent in all aspects. She was truly fortunate to have found such a treasure.
If she could go back in time, she would sigh, wishing she had met this boy sooner.
It was all thanks to Mu Yinyin's father that she was delayed in many things. Only when Mu Yinyin's father was on his deathbed did she dare to get involved with Liang Mu.
"Sister."
Liang Mu's sudden voice brought He Xia back to her senses. She looked at him, "What's wrong?"
"When will you make me official?" Liang Mu said while stroking her bangs, "We've been together for a long time, and it's still like this, sneaking around. It's not good either."
Liang Mu's voice was almost a whisper, but every word struck He Xia's heart, making her feel restless.
She sighed and said, "I want to be with you openly too, but now is not the right time, my baby."
