A single punch shook the bulletproof glass, making the driver look at her as if she were a god.
Chuchu seemed to realize that the window glass was no ordinary material, so she gave up. She lowered her head and clutched her phone, trying to hide the fact that her eyes were brimming with tears.
It hurt!
It really hurt.
The pain was so intense that tears uncontrollably escaped her eyes.
No matter how powerful her strength was, she was still made of flesh and blood; when it was time to feel pain, she felt it.
How hateful, it was all that shut-in girl’s fault.
Just because she said to go back, I have to go back?
She even locked me in the car. What right does she have to do that?
With tears in her eyes, Chuchu rubbed her right hand, constantly complaining about Mu Qingxue in her heart.
That smelly woman. Don’t let me find an opportunity, or else I’ll show you.
What was clearly a delicate, jade-like hand was now swollen like a pig trotter, burning with pain.
She carefully blew on it twice, hoping to alleviate the fiery sensation.
Consequently, when she looked up, she noticed the driver in the front seat was secretly peeking at her.
Resentment flared in Chuchu’s heart, and she suddenly barked, “What are you looking at? Is there something worth seeing?”
Tch, a lapdog for a capitalist.
The driver broke into a cold sweat from her shout and hurriedly retracted his gaze.
She looks so cute, but her temper is so violent…
Thinking of this, the driver recalled the terrifying punch Chuchu had just delivered.
Yeah, she’s also a freakishly violent person.

After going up to the third floor, Chen Xiaoyan kept staring at Mu Qingxue’s back, her small mouth slightly open as if she wanted to say something.
But she didn’t know how to say it.
At that moment, Mu Qingxue suddenly stopped.
Caught off guard, Chen Xiaoyan walked right into her, her forehead nearly hitting the back of Mu Qingxue’s head.
“What is it?” She took a step back, looking at Mu Qingxue in confusion.
Mu Qingxue turned around with a helpless expression, looking at her with a complex gaze. “I’m telling you, if you have something to say, just say it. You’ve stared a hole right through my back.”
“Do you have eyes in the back of your head?” Chen Xiaoyan smiled thinly.
“That’s not the point, okay?” Mu Qingxue gave her an annoyed look and continued, “Just say what’s on your mind. It’s not good to keep things bottled up.”
“Then…” Chen Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to ask, “Did you buy this apartment building for me?”
Mu Qingxue couldn’t help but smile faintly at the question.
“Isn’t that obvious? Did you even need to ask?”
“Why for me?”
Mu Qingxue curled her lips, looking at her with a playful gaze. “You want to know?”
Chen Xiaoyan nodded. “Yeah, I’m a bit curious.”
“I! WON’T! TELL! YOU!” Mu Qingxue said, emphasizing every word.
Chen Xiaoyan rolled her eyes and gave Mu Qingxue the middle finger.
Seeing the gesture, the playfulness in Mu Qingxue’s eyes grew even stronger.
She walked up to Chen Xiaoyan, leaning over slightly to bring her face close.
“Oh, you’re looking down on me now? Xiaoyan, have you forgotten your current situation?”
“Right now, I am your boss and your landlord. I control your salary and your home.”
“Landlord Auntie didn’t say she would definitely sell it to you,” Chen Xiaoyan muttered stubbornly.
“Then how about we make a bet?”
“No,” Chen Xiaoyan refused without a hint of hesitation.
Dealing with this inhumanly rich Miss Mu, anything that could be solved with money probably wasn’t an issue.
Only a fool would bet with her.
Seeing that Chen Xiaoyan wasn’t falling for the trap, Mu Qingxue was very disappointed.
Sometimes she really wished Xiaoyan were a bit stupider—how nice would that be?
Afterwards, Chen Xiaoyan did not follow Mu Qingxue to find Landlord Auntie.
This matter was already set in stone; it made no difference whether she went or not.
After returning to her room, she immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Chuchu.
Chen Xiaoyan: Little cutie, wait a moment, I’m coming down to open the door for you right now.
Chuchu: Sorry, esteemed user Chen Xiaoyan, your little cutie is offline.
Chen Xiaoyan: Tencent Customer Service, right? I am ordering you to tell the little cutie to get online right now.
Chuchu: Connecting to user… Sorry, esteemed user Chen Xiaoyan, due to your low credit score, the call cannot be connected. Please top up your credit in time.
Chen Xiaoyan grinned.
This girl was really getting into the role.
Chen Xiaoyan: Don’t you want to know what Qingxue is doing right now?
Chuchu: I don’t. I don’t want to know anything right now.
Chuchu: Sister Xiaoyan, I am so disappointed in you. You actually followed that woman without even looking back. Do you know that you have deeply hurt the purest, kindest little cutie in the world?
Chen Xiaoyan: I am guilty, I repent.
Chuchu: Now you know how to repent? It’s already too late.
Chuchu: [Image]
Chuchu: Look at my hand, it’s turned into this.
Chen Xiaoyan tapped on the image. The sight of a bright red pig trotter left her stunned.
Chen Xiaoyan: When did you go out and buy a pig trotter? Did you not get enough to eat at the Sichuan Restaurant?
Chuchu: (Pulling out a knife).jpg
Chuchu: I’ll give you one more chance to rephrase that.
Chen Xiaoyan: He-he!
Chuchu: He-he your big head.
Chen Xiaoyan: I’m not joking anymore, I’m coming down right now.
Chuchu: (Son, Mom is very satisfied with you).jpg

Chen Xiaoyan ran down at top speed, but she didn’t go to the second car; instead, she went to the first one.
She knocked on the passenger side window.
The window rolled down, and Sanyue Buxiaxue poked her head out to look at her.
“Big Boss Xiaoyan, is something wrong?”
“Where’s Qiuxue?”
“The Big Boss was called up by Miss Mu to handle some matters regarding the contract.”
“I see. Then please tell the driver to go to the nearby hospital.” Chen Xiaoyan pointed at the car behind them.
“To the hospital?” Sanyue Buxiaxue sized up Chen Xiaoyan and asked, “Um, Big Boss Xiaoyan, are you injured somewhere?”
“It’s not me, it’s Chuchu. The cartilage area on the back of her hand is swollen. I want to take her to the hospital to get it checked out.”
Sanyue Buxiaxue was stunned for a second. She turned back to say something to Qianrenxue in the back seat and then got out of the car.
“I happen to know a bit of basic first aid. Let me take a look.”
“Alright.”
Chen Xiaoyan led her to the second car and made a gesture to the driver.
Then, just as she was about to turn around and have Sanyue Buxiaxue ask the driver to open the door.
To her surprise, the driver got out of the car himself and opened the rear door.
Chen Xiaoyan gave him a surprised look before sliding into the car.
“Chuchu, let me see your hand.”
Chuchu tucked her right hand under her left armpit and turned her head away, putting on a front like she didn’t want to talk to anyone.
“Bring it out and let Sanyue Buxiaxue take a look.”
Chuchu didn’t answer.
“Chuchu!!!” Chen Xiaoyan sounded a bit angry.
“Why did you come down? Wasn’t it nice playing with Mu Qingxue up there?”
Chen Xiaoyan sat down heavily beside her. “We’ll talk about that later. What’s important now is your hand.”
Chuchu bit her lip and hesitatingly extended her right hand.
Chen Xiaoyan instantly grabbed it and gave it a gentle pull, causing Chuchu to fall right into her arms.
Chuchu was dazed.
Then, Chen Xiaoyan stretched Chuchu’s right hand as far out of the car as possible and spoke to Sanyue Buxiaxue.
“Look, it’s swollen like this.”
Sanyue Buxiaxue leaned in for a closer look.
“It’s not a big problem. This always happens the first time you use extreme force to hit something.”
“Extreme force?” Chen Xiaoyan murmured, looking down at Chuchu in her arms.
