Yuan Shuangrui nodded and said, “Of course.”
After answering Han Mubai, Yuan Shuangrui’s blood was boiling. She was really pissed off that her people were beaten up while her opponents were left unscathed. Furthermore, she still had to promise to interact with them peacefully. She could almost throw up in rage!
However, she couldn’t act up in front of everyone, nor go against her promises. In the future, she couldn’t openly challenge them anymore.
Otherwise, she would be labeled as someone who made empty promises.
Han Mubai looked at Lu Suyan and asked, “What do you think?”
Lu Suyan’s head was spinning because of his beauty, so she naturally agreed without any hesitation. “Yeah, sounds great.”
Han Mubai said to everyone, “Since everything is settled, everyone should disperse. Go get busy. We’re leaving too.”
As he spoke, he and Yuan Shuangrui prepared to leave.
Yun Bixue heaved a sigh of relief and straightened her back. Just as she was about to tidy her hair, she noticed Han Mubai turning around again. She immediately shut her eyes and continued covering her face.
Han Mubai looked at that pair of eyes and felt that sense of familiarity washing over him again.
At that moment, Yuan Shuangrui grabbed Han Mubai’s hand and hurried outside. “Mubai, we won’t be able to make it if we delay any longer. There’s an auction going on, and there’s a beautiful antique painting. It’s something that you’ve always liked.”
Collecting antique paintings was Han Mubai’s only hobby. Therefore, he pushed what happened here to the back of his mind and went with Yuan Shuangrui to the auction.
In the car, Yuan Shuangrui thought about how Yun Bixue had responded earlier. She thought that Yun Bixue must have been afraid of the Han family’s power.
Yun Bixue must have been frightened by Han Mubai’s reaction and mentioned the Qin family intentionally.
Fortunately, Han Mubai didn’t know anything. To him, the Qin family was a thing of the past.
In the past, the Yuan family wasn’t that powerful in the capital. It was only during that time that they had ridden on that great opportunity and slowly progressed to where they were now.
It was also because of her hard work and effort all these years that her family had acknowledged and made her as their heir. Moreover, she was also pleased that she was engaged to the most outstanding man in the capital, Han Mubai.
All of these were what she wanted to see. However, she only felt anxious today.
Even though she had forgotten everything, the past still exists. It was like thorns, trapping and prickling her.
She didn’t know how Yun Bixue knew. But since Yun Bixue came from Ning An City, she must know at least a little.
The key lies in the Qin family and Qin Huailing. Qin Huailing was still alive, and that was the greatest threat to her. If she could…
Yuan Shuangrui broke out in a cold sweat. She had actually harbored thoughts about killing Qin Huailing!
That young man used to treat her so well. However, to the noble families, money and power reigned, and love only came second to them.
She had had countless dreams at night, and they were all about that wonderful young man.
Yuan Shuangrui shut her eyes, refusing to think anymore.
This was the first time Han Mubai saw how depressed Yuan Shuangrui looked. He could feel that she was troubled by something.
Nevertheless, he didn’t ask her.
…
After they left, Yun Bixue tidied her hair and took a deep breath.
Tian Xiaojuan, Lu Maimai, and the rest worriedly held Yun Bixue, gravely afraid that something was wrong with her.
After experiencing that episode earlier, the six of them had completely regarded Yun Bixue as their most important friend.
Yun Bixue said in a low voice, “I’ll tell you while we’re eating. Let’s go to the rooftop.”
When the seven of them arrived at the rooftop, Yun Bixue finally said, “I know Han Mubai. I hid my face because I didn’t want him to recognize me for now. I don’t want another problem to complicate our issue now. You don’t have to be afraid of Yuan Shuangrui too. She wouldn’t dare to do anything to you guys.”
