CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 436: EMERGENCY IN THE JIANGHU, SAVE MY LIFE——

"No, I have to call Xingfeng, otherwise my Mu Family will be ruined by him. If things go wrong, by the time we start work next year, I’ll be left with nothing."

Mu Wanxin said as she fumbled for the phone and dialed.

At the same time, on the other side, Liu Hu, who had accompanied Mu Xingfeng on a ten-kilometer weighted run since morning, was cautiously reporting the situation at home.

Looking at the man with a gloomy face in the seat, Liu Hu thought his boss was even more terrifying than the Cold-faced Yama back in the army.

"Boss, just now while you were in a meeting, Miss An called me. She asked if Young Master Gu could buy a plane ticket to Nan’an for her. If that wasn’t possible, she wanted to know if I could take her to Nan’an."

After speaking, Liu Hu carefully glanced at the man in front of him.

Indeed, the man’s face turned even darker.

"What did you say?"

"I said, it’s the end of the year, and we can’t buy a ticket now. To get one, we have to wait until after the New Year. Besides, the company is busy these days, and I can’t get away to drive her." Liu Hu said in one breath and swallowed.

"Hmm, you may leave now." Mu Xingfeng rubbed his temples and said.

"Yes, sir," Liu Hu responded as if granted amnesty and trotted out of the office, trembling as he took out his phone in the hallway.

"Lin Tou, I’m in dire need of help—save me—"

Yujing Garden Villa

An Ran got up and went downstairs while Nanny Chen was making soup for her. Although her acclimatization issues had long been resolved, the soup was a daily must.

All because Yuan Ye once said she was malnourished, Mu Xingfeng couldn’t bear to let her miss a single bowl of nutritious soup.

"Good morning, Miss An," Nanny Chen greeted An Ran as she saw her.

"Nanny Chen, has Instructor Mu not returned from his morning run yet?"

Mu Xingfeng’s schedule was always very punctual, he wouldn’t have slept in at this time. It seemed Instructor Mu was really angry, not even forcing himself out for the run.

"Young Master went to the company early this morning. He asked me to let Miss An rest well," Nanny Chen said.

"Oh," An Ran responded, sipping her porridge absent-mindedly. Since arriving in the Imperial City, it was her first time having breakfast alone.

After breakfast, An Ran started working on her winter vacation homework when she heard an annoying voice outside.

"Tuzi, your Brother’s here to see you."

Ever since An Ran insisted on calling Lin Junyang her brother, and Mu Xingfeng hadn’t opposed it like he did with Sun Wangbei, Lin Junyang had contentedly addressed himself as brother to An Ran.

An Ran put down her pen and greeted him, "Brother Junyang, you’re here."

From last night until now, she was on the verge of suffocating from boredom. Finally, someone came to keep her company.

"Hmm, you seem to be in good spirits. I thought you’d get a scolding from Second Brother when you got home last night. It seems you hold a special place in his heart," Lin Junyang said, eyeing her up and down.

"What do you mean? Who said Instructor Mu didn’t scold me? He criticized me so badly. I was going to leave, but I couldn’t get a ticket to Nan’an. Brother Junyang, can you help me buy a train ticket? If not, a plane ticket will do," An Ran looked at Lin Junyang with sparkling eyes, and the latter unnaturally cleared his throat.

No wonder Second Brother made Liu Hu suffer so much. It turned out Tuzi wanted to leave. However, asking him to buy a ticket? During the New Year, he wasn’t about to risk his own life.

"Tuzi, listen to me. Second Brother said those things for your sake. You don’t have to take it so hard and leave just because he said a few words, right?" Lin Junyang wasn’t good at comforting people, but since it was about Boss Mu’s happiness, he could only brace himself and continue.
