Chapter 1543 - 1533: Disappointment

Chapter 1543: Chapter 1533: Disappointment

In front of her was a middle-aged woman who appeared to be about fifty years old, slightly plump, round-faced, with small eyes, looking kindly and gentle.

She saw Mu Yan and smiled, "Madam, you’re back. The meal will be ready soon, you should rest for a while first."

Mu Yan snapped back to reality and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the new maid, here to take care of your daily needs. My last name is He, you can call me Mrs. He. If there is anything you’d like to eat, you can tell me." Mrs. He squinted her eyes into slits as she smiled, looking quite cheerful.

Despite Mu Yan’s significant mood swings at the moment, she couldn’t bring herself to be cold to her.

"Just make whatever you see fit." Mu Yan nodded and turned towards the living room.

After taking just a couple of steps, she suddenly turned around, unwilling to give up, and asked Mrs. He, "Has my husband been back?"

Mrs. He looked at her somewhat perplexed, "Husband? He hasn’t been back."

Mu Yan frowned and said, "Then who hired you?"

"It was arranged by Assistant Lian." Mrs. He looked at Mu Yan anxiously, "Is there something that you’re not satisfied with?"

"No." Mu Yan shook her head, "You can go about your work."

She stepped towards the staircase and went straight up to the second floor.

Seeing her leave, Mrs. He went back to the kitchen to continue preparing lunch.

Once in her bedroom, the grievances that had accumulated in Mu Yan’s heart over this period erupted like a flood, overwhelming her in an instant.

So this is what it feels like for hope to fall through.

At this moment, she realized she really didn’t know him well enough.

In the past, he couldn’t bear to be apart from her even for a moment.

But now, he’s finding every way to avoid her.

Could it be that his injuries from Beijing have worsened? A wave of worry surged in Mu Yan’s heart.

No, if they had really worsened, he wouldn’t be able to contact Lian Jun, and Lian Jun wouldn’t be so calm.

She quickly calmed down, but then she was back at a dead end.

Is there something that can’t be explained face-to-face? He didn’t even give her a chance to explain.

Could it be that he’s still upset about what she said that night?

Or, does Mu Chen’s death really have something to do with him?

No, she doesn’t believe it!

But if not, why won’t he see her?

The more she thought about it, the more painful Mu Yan felt inside.

She looked at the blooming sunflowers on the wall by the bed, and a flash of inspiration hit her mind.

Just then, her phone rang.

She took her phone out from her bag, it was a call from Luo Yao.

Their last contact was a week ago; she shouldn’t be in Hawaii now.

"Hello, Luo Yao, how have you been lately?"

"Hmm? You’re back, why didn’t you tell me?" Mu Yan was a bit surprised, "Where are you now?"

"Okay, I’ll come over right away."

Mu Yan hung up the phone, placed it back in her bag, washed her face, and then went downstairs with her bag.

Mrs. He came out from the kitchen and said, "Madam, lunch is ready, but you..."

"I’m sorry, something came up suddenly, and I can’t have lunch at home. Thank you for your effort." Mu Yan looked at her apologetically.

Mrs. He looked a bit surprised, and somewhat at a loss, and asked, "Where are you going at this time of day?"

Mu Yan didn’t answer and walked straight outside.

Watching her back, Mrs. He knew she overstepped, but she was also a bit anxious. She walked to the living room and dialed a number.

"Madam didn’t have lunch at home, she went out, but she didn’t say where..."

"I’m going to see my sister-in-law." A woman’s voice came from the doorway.

Mrs. He was startled and dropped the receiver in surprise.

She looked towards the door, seeing Mu Yan take a pair of sneakers from the shoe cabinet and slip them on.
