Chapter 728: Why Doesn't He Understand At All_1

The girls thus moved further away.

Guisu seriously doubted whether what he had just heard was true or not.

Baili Xia, although she was not the biological child of the Mu family, was personally acknowledged as Miss by Sir Mu.

Seemingly every member of the Mu family was willing to spend hundreds of thousands without a second thought.

Yet now she had to devise ways to repay the ten thousand she had taken from Mu Xiaojiu.

He can recall that not long ago, even though he didn’t utter a word, those girls really had been counting up money to buy him a meal.

He ate with peace of mind at the time because he had decided that Baili Xia would definitely ask him to do something in return later on.

Yet never could he have imagined that what she would ask him to do was to live on in a decent manner and not commit any wrong deeds in the future.

No one had ever spoken these words to him before, and no one had ever told him what exactly constituted as a wrongdoing.

Everyone just kept ordering him around, ceaselessly so, regardless of whether the task at hand was right or wrong; he just had to carry it out.

All these “everyone” included Lu Xuening.

Why?

Why was it that the woman he had guarded and been grateful towards for so many years, could ruthlessly hurt him just to save her own life in the end?

Yet the girl he had schemed against again and again, and even almost killed, only hoped for him to live on decently after helping him out.

He didn’t know the answer to this question, nor did he understand anything about it.

He only knew that some of the principles he had been adhering to all along were gradually crumbling down…

…

Baili Xia and Zimo eventually managed to take a bus and successfully reached the Mu Group.

They indeed had an affluent meal at Feixue, with plenty of meat and vegetables, and even desserts after the meal.

It felt just like a heavenly treat.

After having eaten her fill, Xiaoxiao, a big foodie, seemed a bit reluctant to leave.

However, when she heard that they could try for some smaller roles in some drama teams at Feixue Media, both Xiaoxiao and Zimo were immediately pumped.

As long as they could earn money, that was all that mattered.

Regardless of the means, they had to earn back the money to pay off Xiaxia’s debts.

Although money cannot solve everything, in the present society, one would be hard-pressed to make a move without money.

Today, when Mu Lingchuan at Feixue heard that Baili Xia wanted to act, he immediately refused.

“They may act, not you,” he said emphatically from behind his office desk.

Joking aside, Uncle had seriously scolded him last night past midnight.

Now, even if he were given the courage of a lion, he would not dare to let this girl act in any drama.

If Uncle were to find out, he’d probably tear off his head.

“But…” If she wasn’t allowed to act, what could she do to earn money?

“No ‘buts’.” His decision was final, no matter how much she argued.

“Then…” Baili Xia thought for a bit, then said, “Can you assign me some part-time jobs?

I can do chores.”

“Things like photocopying, errand running, serving tea, etc., I am fine with all of that.”

Mu Lingchuan shifted his gaze from the notebook screen and glanced at her.

“What are you best at?”

“Painting.” Other than this, there really wasn’t anything else she was particularly good at.

However, because of the last time she sold illustrations, a situation occurred where even she herself had been “sold”.

Later, due to working part-time as a painter at Shengyi, Uncle had caught her and pushed her into Shengyi’s conference room…

After that, Baili Xia hadn’t done any painting for a long time.

Every time she wanted to paint, she would recall all that had happened.

With a shadow in her heart, the painting wouldn’t turn out well either.

But if asked what she was best at, that would be painting alone.
