Ji Yang bawled when she heard this. “They must be fuming right now. Speaking about that, aren’t they courting their deaths by exposing your relationship with Shi Beiyu?”
It was Shi Beiyu after all. He was known in the capital for being a ruthless man, so he definitely would not go easy on them.
Mu Siyin snorted lightly. “This will give them something to worry about for now! Otherwise, they will come to pick a fight with me whenever they want. It’s really annoying!”
“It seems like that now, but an anxious dog will always jump over the wall. Be careful and look out for yourself.”
“Okies, I will! How are you? How has work been the past two days?”
Ji Yang sounded dejected. “Like usual.”
Mu Siyin raised an eyebrow. “What kind of job did your leader assign you to?”
Was she still… wiping out prostitutes?
Ji Yang’s voice was low when she said, “Thanks to you, I’m still in the anti-prostitution team.”
Mu Siyin could not help but chuckle. “What’s wrong with busting prostitutes?”
Ji Yang retorted, “I am a cop from the Criminal Investigation Department! A detective! It really is a waste of my talent if they send me to arrest some prostitutes.”
Mu Siyin tutted. “You can always be transferred to another operation someday. Why don’t you gain some experience first? That way, you’ll be at the top of your game when you get transferred back.”
“Everything sounds nicer when you say it. It’s not as if I can object to it anyway.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow night. To thank you for the huge sacrifice you made for me.”
Ji Yang asked quick-wittedly, “Why not tonight?”
Mu Siyin paused. “Uhm… I’ve got a thing tonight.”
“Dating, you mean?”
Mu Siyin chuckled in response.
“See, I told you that you are a ‘h*e before bro’ kind of person!”
“Yangyang. That’s not it. I really have something important tonight. So I’ll see you tomorrow night, okay? I won’t leave until you show up!”
“Fine, fine. I’ve seen through you now.”
Mu Siyin ended the call and let out a helpless sigh. Shi Beiyu was a dictator. If she flaked on him again, he probably would eat her alive!
Mu Siyin was going through some atlas at 3:00 p.m. when Mu Heyuan called her to his office.
She raised an eyebrow and sneered to herself.
He definitely wanted to reprimand her for what happened.
She would like to see just how thick-skinned the man really was!
Once Mu Siyin arrived at the highest floor, she pushed open the door to the Chairman’s office. Her eyes instantly landed on Old Madam Mu and Li Tongzhi.
She snorted. Was this a court trial or something?
“Why are you here too, Grandma?”
After she closed the door, she raised her eyebrows and asked. She completely disregarded Li Tongzhi’s existence.
Li Tongzhi’s face stiffened as rage burned in her eyes. Glaring at Mu Siyin, the woman roared, “You have completely destroyed the Mu family’s reputation! How dare you question us about our presence here?!”
Mu Siyin frowned before she snickered. “Your precious daughter was the one who ruined the Mu family’s reputation. Why are you putting the blame on me instead? Also, I’m obviously talking to my Grandma. Did I address you?”
Li Tongzhi’s face paled in rage.
“Mu Siyin! Why does the Mu family have such a shameless, ungrateful prodigal like you?”
“Do you have Alzheimer’s, Auntie Li? Mu Xingyu is the prodigal here, not me! Stop pushing her mistakes onto me! I refuse to be the scapegoat for her wrongdoings!”
Mu Siyin’s wits made Li Tongzhi choke from anger. The latter pointed at Mu Siyin and looked at Old Madam Mu, who was seated next to her, saying, “Look at her, Mom! No matter what kind of mistake Xingyu made, we should always be able to solve it within the family. Instead, we have now become the talk of the town. She has disgraced the honor of the Mu family!”
