182: Rub It In

Rub It In

As he was about to get back into the car, Mu Feichi saw a brown medicine bottle with a sticky note attached on the driver's seat.2

"Medicine for bruises. Just rub it in."

The handwriting was neat and strong and demonstrated the earnestness of the writer.

Mu Feichi shook the bottle in his hand, and he couldn't help but smile. There was a hint of tenderness on his cold yet handsome face.

Back at the Mu family mansion...as soon as Feng Rui and Qi Yuan had heard the news about what had occurred at the foot of the mountain, they'd hurried back from training in the forest.

Han Wanling, that brazen, foolish rascal, had actually had the guts to run down to the foot of the mountain and cause trouble. It seemed as if she wasn't going to shed tears until she saw her coffin.

"Boss, do you need me to take care of the Han family?"

Upon seeing Young Marshal Mu get out of the car with a gloomy expression, Qi Yuan asked nervously.

Mu Feichi snorted in reply. "No, I've already warned her. Whoever doesn't heed my warnings will suffer the consequences."

"Indeed." Qi Yuan glanced at the medicine bottle in Mu Feichi's hand and realized that it looked familiar.

Feng Rui, who was oblivious to subtleties and tactless, also realized that the glass bottle was Yun Xi's and shouted out immediately.

"Young Marshal Mu, that seems to be Yun Xi's medicine bottle. Why do you have it? That girl had bruises all over her body because of that devil. How pitiful..."

Before Feng Rui could finish speaking, Qi Yuan kicked him.

Realizing that he had said too much, Feng Rui coughed and scratched his head, not daring to continue.

"Notify Grey Wolf. Ask him to send me copies of all the public and hidden information on all the wealthy families in Jingdu."

"Huh? Boss, what do you want that for?"

Probably no one knew the situations and inside stories of the wealthy families in Jingdu better than Grey Wolf.

This was all insider confidential information. A special-level firewall had been set up by Grey Wolf, and even top hackers wouldn't be able to hack into it.

This was also their source of information on the battlefields.

"Send it to that girl. Han Wanling had asked someone to kidnap her. She acted as if she didn't care on the surface, but I could see that she was already thinking about a plan to deal with Han Wanling. Yun Xi has just returned from the countryside and doesn't know much about Jingdu yet. Only by knowing her enemies well enough, as well as knowing herself, will she win the battle."

Feng Rui couldn't help but quip, "Boss, you simply want to see how Yun Xi will deal with Han Wanling and her no-good fiance, right?"

After he spoke, Qi Yuan kicked him again.

"Don't rub it in!"

Sure enough, Mu Feichi's cold eyes shot daggers at him.

Feng Rui shivered and stepped back toward the door of the car behind him. He said nonchalantly, "I didn't mean anything...forget it. I'm going to notify Grey Wolf."

Mu Feichi turned his head coldly and issued further instructions to Qi Yuan, "Tell him to bring an encrypted laptop with him also."

"Will do."

...

As soon as Yun Xi got home, she saw Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling unpacking things in the living room. There were a lot of paper bags and paper boxes stacked on the sofa.

As soon as they saw her return, Yun Ziling couldn't resist the urge to show off.

Probably because she was afraid that Yun Xi wouldn't pay attention to her, she rushed forward to block Yun Xi's way.

"You've returned, eldest sister. Today, the second young master accompanied us on a shopping trip, and we bought a lot of clothes, all of which are brand-name goods. Would you like me to give you a set of clothes?"

Yun Xi gave Yun Ziling a withering glance and said nothing. Knowing Yun Ziling's selfish temperament, not to mention their difference in body shape, even if she was able to fit in them, there was no way Yun Ziling would be willing to give her any.

"Yun Ziling, before you say such silly things, you should look at your figure and then look at my figure."

Since Yun Ziling had wanted to show off so desperately, Yun Xi couldn't be blamed her for firing back without mercy.

When Yun Ziling heard this, her face immediately darkened.

Her eyes burned with spiteful fury as she glowered at Yun Xi, and she could hardly resist the urge to rip her apart.

Her figure had always been one of her major shortcomings.

After so many years of pampering, plus the lack of exercise, not only did she have a bad complexion, but she was also rather chubby.

Calling her chubby was simply a euphemism. In reality, she was practically obese.
