Chapter 277 - 259 Let’s Elope
Her Maybach was still parked in the corner, the high temperature causing the car body to scorch under the sunlight.
She opened the door, sat in the car without turning on the air conditioning, letting the sweat trickle down from her forehead. A streak found its way to the corner of her mouth, making her taste the salty bitterness.
The temperature was too high; her body felt like it was being steamed in a steam basket, each breath a struggle in the stifling air.
Yet her thoughts suddenly became exceptionally clear.
No wonder she felt Qiu Lan was familiar, because she had seen her picture in the old photo album Mu Shuoqian gave her. Back then she was much younger and didn’t look much like she does now.
And the first time she bumped into Qiu Lan at the airport, Qiu Lan had just arrived in Aus City, while she was on her way to City A.
How could it be such a coincidence that she arrived as she left?
And during that nearly one month period, Mu Shuoqian had been acting strangely. Yuan Yi said he was rarely at home, so he must have been spending time with his mother; yet he told her it was work and social engagements, he even lied when she returned to Aus City wanting to give him a surprise and found he wasn’t home.
Moreover, he clearly knew Qiu Yufei, yet he lied to her about that as well.
His transferring her to City A wasn’t to train her, but to get her out of the way because he didn’t want her to meet his mother and sister at all.
She knew that their marriage began just for mutual benefits. Mu Haotian thought she was Ruyan and despised her background, thus forbidding anyone from revealing their married status to the public.
But Mu Shuoqian was never one to acquiesce to Mu Haotian’s ways; on the contrary, he always stood his ground against Mu Haotian. Even if Mu Haotian forbade him from disclosing their relationship, if he wanted to, he could announce it to the world in a minute.
