Chapter 9 How Dare You Come for Dinner Dressed So Shabbily

"Director, let my assistant do it for me."

The director had completely lost his temper. She had even prepared substitutes for such a simple scene, but this was the only way to save time.

The assistant changed her clothes and had her hair styled. The scene of falling into the water was successfully filmed.

The scene of the ugly servant was completed.

Liu Yuan walked towards Muyin with a bouquet of flowers in her arms and said, "Here, I wish you a happy completion of filming."

Muyin took it with a smile and said, "Thank you. When you return to City M, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Let's take a picture."

"Okay, I'll remove the makeup on my face." After filming, she didn't want to stare at her ferocious face and take photos.

She borrowed makeup tools from the makeup artist. Ten minutes later, her face was clean and she went to find Liu Yuan with satisfaction.

"Come on."

Muyin stood beside Liu Yuan with a smile on her face. Tiantian raised her phone and froze for a moment.

Liu Yuan still had scenes to shoot, so Muyin didn't stay any longer. She left after exchanging a few words with her.

After returning to the hotel, Muyin thought for a moment and sent a message to Wang Feng, telling her that she had finished her work and would return to the M City tomorrow.

After logging out of the chat with Wang Feng, Muyin clicked on Shen Huai on WeChat.

After more than ten days, Shen Huai only replied with an "okay", and the rest were all messages sent by herself.

She sighed, opened Weibo, switched to her alt account "Did you succeed in divorcing today?", wrote "No", and then sent it out.

The next day, the Mu family sent a driver to pick her up. After getting off the plane, Muyin did not go home directly, but ordered the driver to go to a coffee shop in the city center.

A few days ago, Wang Yiyuan's assistant came to her and said that she wanted to apologize to Wang Yiyuan face to face and talk about the compensation. Hearing An Suwan talk about it, Muyin readily agreed.

According to the appointed time, Muyin arrived at the coffee shop.

Ten minutes later, a man came in. He looked ordinary, with black-framed glasses, and carrying a briefcase. He walked up to Muyin.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Mu?"

"Yes, I am." Muyin nodded slightly.

The man pulled out a chair and sat down. Without saying anything, he opened his briefcase, took out a stack of documents, and handed them to Muyin.

Muyin didn't take it. She stared at him coldly and said, "Is this the face-to-face apology Mr. Wang said?"

The man put the document on the table and pushed it to Muyin. He adjusted his glasses and said, "Mr. Wang's identity is special, so it's not appropriate for him to appear in public. I hope you can understand. I'm sorry for the damage caused to you by the car accident. This is the compensation plan. If you're satisfied, we'll compensate you according to it."

"There's no need." Muyin stood up and looked down at the man opposite her. "The professionals will handle the professional matters. As for the compensation, you can talk to my lawyer."

Muyin picked up the phone on the table and turned to leave.

At first, Muyin went to the appointment to check whether Wang Yiyuan was the one in her previous life. But now, she was sure that he was.

A face-to-face apology was just an excuse to ask her out. Since she sat in the cafe, he might have been observing her in some corner.

Oh, saying that his identity was special and it was not suitable to show up, he could simply find a secluded place. Doing so was just to hide himself in the dark.

She had to thank him for what he had done today, which confirmed his identity.

When Muyin returned to the car, the driver asked respectfully, "Miss, where are you going?"

"Let's go home." Anyway, Shen Huai was not at home now, so it was meaningless for her to go back to Maple Villa.

"Yes."

When she returned to the Mu family, it was just in time for dinner.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? There weren't many dishes," An Suwan complained, but her face was full of smiles.

Muyin was dragged to sit at the dining table. She looked at the dishes on the table and turned to look at An Suwan in confusion. "You didn't make many dishes?"

Spicy crab, boiled shrimp, steamed fish, braised beef, and a few vegetable dishes... What did she mean by not making many dishes?

"Although there are many dishes now, but they will be consumed in a while."

Muyin didn't understand what she meant. The servant took a few food boxes and put the food in them. After that, she walked to the door and handed them to the driver.

"What's he doing??"

"It's all because of your brothers. They often don't eat when they're busy, so I had to ask the driver to take the food over and watch them eat."

So that's how it was.

Now there was only a little food left on the table. It was barely enough for three people to eat. The couple was not willing to let their daughter suffer, so they proposed to go out and eat.

Muyin would do whatever An Suwan asked.

The two drivers at home had gone to deliver the food, leaving only the driver assigned to Muyin.

They took a car to a French restaurant.

After coming to the modern world, Muyin basically ate boxed meals and occasionally had Chinese food at home. She had never tried anything else.

"Yinyin, what would you like to eat?"

Muyin took the menu from An Suwan. She looked at the menu and calmed herself down, trying not to look surprised.

French snails? Can snails be eaten?

Mustard mixed with cucumber? What was mustard? A green object appeared in her mind. Muyin shook her head. "No."

Crab roe, living shrimp? Was she going to eat living shrimps?

Muyin flipped through the menu and finally ordered a few dishes that looked normal.

She thought that she had seen a lot of novel food while watching short videos, but she didn't expect that she hadn't seen so many yet.

They had a good time during the meal, but Muyin felt a little embarrassed because she was unfamiliar with knives and forks.

Before leaving, she went to the toilet and asked Mu Yan and An Suwan to wait for her in the car.

Unexpectedly, she met a distant relative.

"Sister!" The woman, who was wearing a long red dress and holding a small silver bag in her hand, walked over in high heels when she saw Muyin.

Muyin was impressed to see her walking briskly in high heels.

"Sister?" Muyin recalled that she didn't have a younger sister. Her father was the only child, so she didn't have a cousin. Her mother had an elder brother, but he also gave birth to a son. How could she have a younger sister?

"Sister, don't you recognize me? My aunt is your aunt." Bai Lianlian looked aggrieved and didn't dare to approach her.

Hearing her words, Muyin remembered that her aunt's niece was indeed called Bai Lianlian, but she didn't look like her in her memory. She only knew that there was such a person.

"It's you. But it's not appropriate for you to call me sister. We're not related by blood."

The Bai Lianlian hated it the most to see Muyin was so arrogant. Muyin just relied on her good family background. She herself was a nobody. A trace of resentment flashed through her eyes, and then they became misty.

"I'm sorry, Sister... No, Sister Yinyin."

"Lianlian." A man in a suit walked over. Seeing that Bai Lianlian was about to cry with grievance, he put his arm around her waist and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

"No! I just met my sister... No, I met a friend, so I came to say hello." The Bai Lianlian quickly denied.

However, in the eyes of the man, she was being bullied but did not dare to say anything. He turned his head and was about to vent his anger on Muyin. He was stunned and stared at Muyin motionlessly.

Seeing his expression, the Bai Lianlian secretly cursed Muyin for being a vixen.

She stretched out her hand to pull the man, then put away her aggrieved expression and asked with a smile, "Why do you have time to come here for dinner?"

After that, she didn't wait for Muyin to answer. She pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, I forgot. You haven't worked since you became an actress. Your agent has gone too far. It's been several months, and he hasn't arranged for you to work! How about I ask the director to give you a chance?"

Suddenly, she felt a little embarrassed and said, "Please don't think the pay is too low. My ability is limited, so I can only do my best to introduce job opportunities to you"

When the man next to Bai Lianlian heard this, the obsession on his face instantly turned into disgust.

"You don't have to be so humble in front of her, Lianlian. You don't know what you're capable of, so you don't deserve to be treated so well by her. She comes to such a place for dinner when she has no money. I think she's here to hook up with a rich man." As he spoke, he looked Muyin up and down and said disdainfully, "You're dressed so shabbily. Why don't you rent designer clothes before you come here?"

Muyin looked at her clothes. Although they were not as grand as the Bai Lianlian's, they were still from famous brands. "Shabby... shouldn't be the case, right?"

"Forget it..." The Bai Lianlian took the man's hand and wanted to leave.

However, the man did not give up. "What are you talking about? I won't allow anyone to bully you!"

Bai Lianlian was extremely annoyed. She just couldn't stand Muyin trying to vent her anger, but she didn't expect that the man's words would become more and more ridiculous. She was just talking about work, but this man was talking about a sugar daddy. If the Mu family was present, his business would be ruined. She asked me to leave, but he didn't leave. What a stupid teammate!

"Which eye of yours watched me bully her?" Muyin quietly watched the Bai Lianlian acting. Now the Bai Lianlian felt that things were out of control and wanted to retreat, but it depended on whether she was willing or not.

"You didn't bully her. Why does she look like she's about to cry?"

"She's an actress. It's normal for her to cry at any time, isn't it?" Muyin sneered at Bai Lianlian, who lowered her head and said nothing.

She thought that as long as she did not speak, she could put all the blame on the man.

Muyin continued, "You said I'm here to hook up with a rich man?"

"Isn't that the case?"

Muyin ignored him and called the waiter over.

"Do you know me?"

"Yes, you're Miss Mu."

Seeing that the waiter was so respectful to her, the man frowned.

"Tell him how much money I saved up in your store."

It was the first time Muyin came to this restaurant. Seeing that she liked the food here, Mu Yan applied for a card in her name and deposited money in order to make it convenient for Muyin to consume. Unexpectedly, Mu Yan's love for his daughter had become an important part of Muyin's counterattack.

"Miss Mu, you saved a million yuan in our store today."

This French restaurant belonged to high-end consumption. If you don't drink alcohol, a meal will cost you thousands of yuan, and if you do, it will be much more expensive.

"One... one million?" One could deposit one million for eating, let alone anything else.

The man looked at Muyin in disbelief, then turned to question Bai Lianlian, "Since you know her, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

"I didn't know that she had deposited one million!"

"But you're saying that she doesn't have money!" The man said angrily. He had made a fool of himself.

Bai Lianlian hated it when men lost their temper at her, especially useless men. She did not pretend to be innocent and retorted, "It's obvious that you misunderstood. I pulled you away, but you were unwilling. Why are you blaming me now?"

"If it weren't for you..."

Muyin looked at the two quarreling and smiled. She was in a good mood again, and even her steps were light.

On the way back, Muyin mentioned the cafe shop in the morning and asked Mu Yan to find a lawyer for her. Mu Yan readily agreed.

The family chatted for a while after returning home. After dinner, Muyin called Shen Huai with the phone of An Suwan.
