Alice pushed her glasses up. “I’m sorry. You managed to see through me.”
“Wow!” Mu Yuan clapped his hands. “A big show!”
The two of them seemed to have been insulting each other for many years. Alice rolled her eyes inelegantly. Mu Yuan said, “Our Ye Chu is very innocent. Your impure self should not interact with her that much. Otherwise, you will bring her trouble.”
Upon seeing how they were going to argue, Ye Chu had a little headache and massaged the area between her eyebrows. Alice gave up arguing with Mu Yuan and did not want to put her in a tough spot. “I’ll ask you out another day, okay?”
“Alright.”
Alice looked at the bunch of people behind her and was afraid that bad rumors would spread, especially into her grandfather’s ears. She nodded her head slightly to give her regards before leaving with everyone else to tour the shopping mall. Mu Yuan looked at her back and said blandly, “Stay far away from her.”
“Why?”
“She must not have good intentions to get close to you.” Mu Yuan was an upright gentleman. He never insulted people or spilled secrets behind other people’s backs. This was a little abnormal. “She’s a spy.”
Ye Chu did not know what a spy was, but she could understand its meaning. “You are overthinking.”
“Tsk. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Ye Tingyun.”
“She may be my sister.”
“…” Mu Yuan was speechless.
Until they reached the top floor of the MISS building, Mu Yuan could not keep his surprise. He maintained a stunned expression when he looked at Ye Tingyun. It was only until Ye Tingyun recounted that story that he seemed to have a huge revelation. This must be a misunderstanding. Ye Chu and Alice did not share anything in common. From where could they tell that they were sisters? This must be a misunderstanding.
Although Mu Yuan and Alice rarely saw each other, they had known each other for a few years. It was because of Jack every time. She was Jack’s most trustworthy business spy and had contributed a lot to him. A lot of the international cases had Alice’s contributions, but everything had been wiped off by Jack. Hence, her identity was very mysterious and special. Very few people knew about it.
He had a couple of unhappy experiences with Alice; hence, their relationship was very shallow. It could be considered as a hostile relationship. Mu Yuan thought that there was a motive behind Alice and MISS Building’s business collaboration and had warned Ye Tingyun long ago. He never thought that there was this issue as well.
“The Tang En family has a bad influence,” said Mu Yuan, feeling uneasy. These ancient elite European families always hid a lot of dark secrets. “It’s not a good place.”
“I know.” Ye Tingyun was very knowledgeable about the Tang En family. No matter how dark, unlucky, and shady it was, it was still the place where she was born. It was the source of her life.
Mu Yuan had not even cleared up all these matters. He was still entangled in a lot of duties, so he could not be bothered with Ye Tingyun’s issues. As long as he knew about Alice, it was good enough.
“I can’t help but say something. The Tang En family is famous for not caring about kinship. They have betrayed a lot of their relatives and friends. While Alice’s reputation is still decent, she is still, deep-down, a member of the Tang En family. I don’t know if she came to MISS and cooperated with you to get Ye Chu, or if she was acting under the orders of someone else. You have to keep some of your cards hidden.”
Ye Tingyun held onto his forehead and laughed. “How much do you dislike Alice? Why don’t you just say directly that the ‘someone else’ is Jack Anderson?”
“Get lost!” Mu Yuan became annoyed. “I can’t be bothered with you.”
Mu Yuan returned to the country. Ye Chu was still quite unwilling to let him go. After all, they shared a revolutionary relationship after the journey back. On the other hand, Mu Yuan was very suave.. He claimed that he would go to New York again to play with her.
