Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Who did the two hundred million go to

Author: Joe Mai Machine Translation

Dongfang Yingwu had gone to America. Aunt Gu was an old lady, but she dressed like she was at the forefront of fashion trends. She would go shopping every day, and she rarely stayed at home.

Even thought Dongfang Yu and Xi Muxue were already married, Dongfang Yu's philandering habits had not changed. He would leave early and go home late. He often stayed out all night. He would often be seen at bars or other gambling hot spots.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Jun still went to school every day. It was said that he was going to study abroad in France at the end of the year. He had only a few months left, and he was busy with the exams.

Xi Muxue was often not at home. Aside from being the second young mistress of the Dongfang family, she was also a student at Binhai Arts School. She sang and danced well, and when she married, Dongfang Yu did not forbid her to go to school. She was still free to go anywhere she liked.

Only Mu Ru had no freedom. Because she was the first young mistress and was forbidden to go to school by her own husband, she would obediently stay inside the house the whole day.

Every morning, when everyone had left, she could only go around the house with the maid, Ah Min. She helped with chores. She watered the plants in the yard, pruned the leaves, and helped Mother Liu prepare dinner.

After Dongfang Yu got married, the house had been very quiet for a week. However, this peacefulness was disrupted by Xi Muxue's screams one fine Sunday morning.

Mu Ru was helping Mother Liu prepare the soy milk in the kitchen when they heard Xi Muxue's shrill cry from the dining room.

"Dongfang Yu, what do you mean? Accompany me to Guiyang. Leave tomorrow and the day after that vacant for the trip. I've been married to you for a week and you're not even willing to come with me," Mu Xue wailed.

"Mu Xue, what are you saying?" Dongfang Yu answered coldly.

Dongfang Yu was clearly not in a good mood either.

"Guiyang, Guiyang...You make it sound so simple. Are you going back empty-handed? I don't even have money now. How can I accompany you back?" he said.

He continued, "Do you even have money of your own to spend? How much would you even need?"

Xi Muxue was obviously not satisfied with Dongfang Yu's explanation.

"Didn't I tell you? Twenty million will do—"

Dongfang Yu quickly said, "Twenty million? Where am I going to find that?"

Dongfang Yu was very unhappy with Mu Xue's persistence.

He angrily continued, "Dongfang Corporation is in a critical period right now. My brother said that he wouldn't allow anyone to shell out a single cent for no valid reason. Twenty million? I don't even have twenty thousand!"

"What?" Mu Xue asked in shock.

Xi Muxue looked very surprised.

"Why? Didn't your brother pay you? He married as well, and Mu Ru stayed with him. Didn't he give ten million as well? Why—"

Dongfang sharply said, "But when I married you, the Xi family was paid two hundred million!"

Dongfang Yu reminded her of the cold truth.

"That wasn't for me," Mu Xue quickly answered.

Xi Muxue somehow felt embarrassed.

She continued, "That was for Xi Muru. If she hadn't gone to save Nangong Xun many years ago, this wouldn't have happened. This sum of money—"

"Second Young Master, the eldest young master instructed you to go to work early today," someone suddenly said.

Uncle Liu just happened to walk in and reminded Dongfang Yu in a friendly manner, thereby interrupting Xi Muxue.

"I'm going to work," Dongfang Yu said coldly.

Dongfang Yu reached out to grab his suit jacket.

Dongfang Yu said, "My brother said that from now on, I have to earn every cent I spend on myself. To put it bluntly, I'm earning my salary by working at the company. If you want to go somewhere, just use your own money first. It's my first day of work today, and I won't be getting my salary until after a month."
