“That’s right, Young Mistress Sheng.” The butler glanced at Mu Sheng’s clothing with a look of disdain. “Can you please put on the shoe cover we have prepared so as not to damage the tiles? The tiles are imported from abroad. The moment they are damaged, it will cost a bomb to replace them.”

Mu Sheng glanced inside the villa. Even though it had an exquisite renovation, small cracks could be seen at a close look.

The Mu family was doing well when her mother married the family, but it gradually went into decline. Even though they remained well known in the capital, everyone in the family knew all that remained was a shell.

Zhang Man had sent Mu Sheng an invitation for her birthday banquet and even asked her over to prepare a gown for Mu Sheng.

Since Mu Sheng was not working, she came over with Li Hanchen today to find out what the Mu family was trying to do.

She did not expect an insignificant butler to have the audacity to humiliate her. The original owner of the body probably had a very low status in the family.

“In that case…” Mu Sheng looked at Li Hanchen. “Let’s leave so that we won’t damage their marble tiles.”

The Mu family had sent her the invitation, so the Mu family was bound to get worried if she left.

“Okay.” Li Hanchen nodded and turned the car around as the butler watched them leave in surprise.

“Hey, you.” The butler called after them, but Li Hanchen’s car had already disappeared into the distance.

The butler frowned. “Who do you think you are? How dare they enter the villa driving that jalopy? Even the servants drive better cars than him.”

Zhang Man sat on the couch in the living room drinking tea elegantly. She glanced at the door and said quizzically, “Why isn’t she here yet?”

“Mom, who are you waiting for?” Mu Xiao came downstairs. She looked a little pale and tired.

“My dear daughter.” Zhang Man pulled Mu Xiao’s hand and made her sit beside her. “I told Mu Sheng to swing by today. I prepared a gown for her to wear at my birthday banquet since she accepted the invitation.”

Mu Xiao nodded. “Why do you have to prepare her gown?”

“You silly girl.” Zhang Man smiled. “If I take care of her dress, she will have to wear whatever I give her.”

All these years, she had taken care of Mu Sheng’s wardrobe. Even though she wore designer clothes, Mu Sheng looked cheap in them.

Mu Xiao caught her mother’s drift. “Mom, you are so smart.”

The butler walked in.

“Is Mu Sheng here yet?” Zhang Man looked at the butler.

“Young Mistress Sheng?” A look of contempt swept across the butler’s eyes. “She came in some lousy car. How could we let someone drive into the Mu residence with such a lousy car? I told her to get out of the car and walk in, but she refused and left altogether.”

“What?” Zhang Man stood up. “How could you let her leave?”

“Young Madam, I thought…” He thought everyone in the family hated Mu Sheng, so he assumed Zhang Man did not want to see her and deliberately made things hard for Mu Sheng.

“Never mind.” Zhang Man waved her hand. “You may leave. Just prepare her outfit and send it to her.”

Zhang Man felt it was impossible for Mu Sheng and Li Hanchen to possess any decent designer clothing. She did not want Mu Sheng to embarrass the family by coming dressed in fake goods, so she decided to prepare something using Mu Sheng’s size, but it did not have to be overly exquisite.

Mu Sheng was looking out the car window at the rain outside when she received a text notification. She raised her head and noticed it was from Zhang Man.

[My dear daughter, the butler made a mistake. I just found out you have already left. Since it is raining today, be careful on your way back. Remember to come over for my birthday banquet. I will get someone to send you your gown. Love you!]

The moment Mu Sheng saw the text message, she went speechless.

She swiped through her text conversation with Zhang Man and learned that Zhang Man had sent a lot of text messages just like this one to the original owner of the body in the past. The original owner of the body was stupid enough to trust Zhang Man and thought Zhang Man treated her like her biological daughter. It was clear from the chat history that she liked Zhang Man a lot.

Mu Sheng tapped on the screen and replied to Zhang Man: [Okay.]

A smug look emerged in Zhang Man’s eyes when she saw Mu Sheng’s reply. From the looks of it, she was the same old idiot.

“Mom, I heard Master Ouyang has returned to the country.” An evil look radiated from Mu Xiao’s eyes when she saw the text message Zhang Man had received.

“I heard about it as well. Master Ouyang Is back in town looking for a disciple. Xiaoxiao, you have to work hard and try to become his disciple. The moment you do, I can walk with my head held high in high society,” said Zhang Man as she patted the back of Mu Xiao’s hand.

“Mom, how could I have the chance to get close to Master Ouyang?” Although the Mu family were elites, they had declined vastly and lost a lot of connections in the process, so it was near impossible for her to get close to Master Ouyang

“I have already asked around.” Zhang Man smiled. “Your university has invited him to give a lecture. You just need to perform from somewhere he can hear you when the time comes.”

“Really?” Mu Xiao looked at Zhang Man in surprise.

“Uh huh. News about his lecture will be released in a couple of days, just you wait and see.” Zhang Man felt annoyed that this intel had cost her a high-quality blood jade bracelet.

“Okay.” Mu Xiao nodded. She had to make Master Ouyang accept her as his disciple.

If she could become Master Ouyang’s disciple, she did not have to worry about Li Ming’s mother objecting when she married into the Li family. She would never have to worry about the gulf between their statuses with backing like that.

Li Hanchen went on a drive with Mu Sheng in the drizzle.

Mu Sheng did not conceal her curiosity towards the city sights. Li Hanchen did not ask why a local would act as though she had never seen the city before.

Since Li Hanchen was very knowledgeable, he introduced all the major sights to Mu Sheng and she found it intriguing.

The two of them drove around the Third Ring Road as light rain fell on the car window leaving splashes in the air. Mu Sheng ate candy as she listened to Li Hanchen talk about the history of the stone lions outside before she gradually fell asleep.

After they got home, Li Hanchen called Mu Sheng just as she was about to open the door and get out of the car.

“Yes?” Mu Sheng turned her head quizzically.

“From now on, do not show your curiosity to anyone else.” Li Hanchen looked at Mu Sheng solemnly. “If there is anything you want to know, you can ask me about it.”

How could someone who has grown up in the capital not even know where the city square was? It was fine for her to do this in front of him, but anyone else would immediately feel suspicious about it.

Mu Sheng pursed her lips. To begin with, she felt she probably would not ask someone else about this, but she nodded. “Okay.”

A month had already gone by after the new school term started. Metropolis University always conducted monthly exams, so Mu Sheng went to school to take it when she learned about it.

However, there was something different about the school atmosphere this time.
