"Sour smell, I smell a sour smell."
Ye Yu covered her nose, looking at her sister's expression.
"You brat! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ye Tong tapped Ye Yu's forehead, even more afraid to look at Xu Mu.
"Are we going home first, or should we eat here?"
Xu Mu looked at the two and asked.
"Let's go home to eat. It's healthier and saves money. I've learned a few new dishes, and I'll show them off today."
Ye Tong looked at Xu Mu and said.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Xu Mu nodded.
…
Driving back to the villa area, Xu Mu parked the car in the garage under the villa.
Ye Yu, carrying the few clothes Xu Mu had bought for her, immediately ran upstairs.
Ye Tong, seeing this, was also touched.
Come to think of it, she hadn't bought clothes for Ye Yu in a long time.
Even when she did, they were those cheap ones from online, costing dozens of yuan.
"I'll go cook first."
Ye Tong put on an apron and walked into the kitchen.
Xu Mu sat on the sofa and began to check his Fate Points.
He found that after all this, he already had over four hundred points.
Aside from Ye Tong and Ye Yu, this time, Zhao Yingying had provided him with a lot.
Mainly because Zhao Yingying started with positive Favorability.
However, Xu Mu still wanted to save up, to see if he could gather enough for a ten-draw today.
A ten-draw gives an extra reward; he should definitely take advantage of such opportunities.
…
At the same time.
Lin Yan sat with his legs crossed on the second floor of a bar.
This was a private room, only accessible to certain important figures.
The room had sofas, and the walls were adorned with various wines, with a small bar counter to the side.
The soundproofing was excellent; not a single bit of the loud music from downstairs could be heard.
In the dim light, it was like a silent night.
The door was pushed open, and the music from outside instantly poured in.
A woman in a cheongsam, around thirty years old, walked in.
The cheongsam wrapped around her slender, curvaceous figure, especially her perfectly rounded bottom, exactly like an inverted heart.
She had long, wavy black hair and fiery red lips, accentuating her fair cheeks.
Her seductive, peach-blossom eyes seemed to speak, exuding charm.
The woman, named Feng Yue, was the owner of this bar.
She closed the door, cutting off the music from outside. Now, only the sound of her high heels could be heard in the room.
Feng Yue sat opposite Lin Yan, a charming smile on her face, "Who are you, sir? And how do you know my identity?"
"I'm just an unemployed wanderer. I just happened to know."
Lin Yan clasped his hands behind his head, scrutinizing the mature woman before him. She was simply a temptress.
Especially the alluring charm she exuded, she could definitely captivate both young and old.
"You don't need to beat around the bush. Since you've come here on your own, you're here to negotiate, aren't you?"
Feng Yue's smile remained intense.
"That's right. The illegitimate daughter of the Feng family's patriarch in Jiangbei, hardly anyone knows of your existence. You originally came to Jiang City with a mission: to bring down the Xu family."
"But two or three years ago, the Xu family, in order to help the Ye family, invested a great deal of resources, causing them to be severely weakened. The Feng family didn't even have time to do anything and still won."
"You happily returned to the Feng family, but your father didn't even see you. They wanted you to completely bring down the Xu family, and you've been trying hard these past few years but haven't succeeded."
…
Lin Yan smiled as he spoke eloquently. He had used a lot of resources and money to get this information.
Feng Yue still kept her smile, "So, what do you plan to do?"
"Cooperation. We'll work together to bring down the Xu family. You can return to the Feng family smoothly, and I'll have dealt with an enemy."
Lin Yan said with a smile.
"What if I don't agree?"
Feng Yue looked at Lin Yan, "I don't even know your identity, how can I cooperate with you?"
"If you don't agree, I'll tell Xu Shou a few things, for example, about you buying off high-ranking Xu family members."
Lin Yan's lips curled into a smile, "Don't worry, since I've said it, I definitely have proof. Your fate then, is quite imaginable."
"I see, you're threatening me, sir."
"Exactly! I am threatening you, but I'm also doing it for your sake."
Lin Yan smiled as he looked at Feng Yue.
"What should I do?" Feng Yue asked.
"By the looks of it, you've agreed."
Lin Yan immediately beamed with joy, "We'll start with Xu Mu. That kid probably likes you, right? Ask him out tonight. As long as you follow my instructions, I definitely have a way to deal with him."
Feng Yue's smile gradually faded. She hesitated for a long time before nodding gently.
…
Xu Mu was having dinner with his family.
He had to admit, Ye Tong had put in effort today, and the food tasted quite good.
Although it couldn't compare to his own skills as a master chef, for an average family, it was considered top-notch.
"It tastes great, worthy of my wife."
Xu Mu gave Ye Tong a thumbs up.
When Ye Tong heard the word "wife," her cheeks visibly reddened, spreading all the way to her earlobes.
[Favorability +10]
[Favorability +10]
…
Xu Mu looked at the black text appearing above Ye Tong's head and chuckled.
"Sigh, I have to go to school tomorrow. Finally, I won't have to be a third wheel."
Ye Yu, after several days of interacting with Xu Mu, dared to joke around.
If it were before, she definitely wouldn't have dared.
Let alone joking, she wouldn't even be at the dinner table; she would be eating in her doghouse.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ye Tong glared at Ye Yu, "We're a family, no one is extra."
"That's right, Xiao Yu. Anyway, your school allows you to be a day student. How about I pick you up every day after school?"
Xu Mu also said from the side.
"Don't do that. I'll buy her an electric scooter in a couple of days. She can just ride it to and from school."
Ye Tong said to Xu Mu.
"My sister is right. Brother-in-law's car, the gas money for picking me up a few times would be enough to buy an electric scooter." Ye Yu added.
Xu Mu nodded. He was about to speak when he noticed his phone vibrating.
He took it out and looked at it, his eyes gradually narrowing.
Feng Yue.
The owner of Moonlight Bar. Why would she call him?
According to his memory, the previous Xu Mu liked this woman. Every time he went to a bar, he would choose to go to hers.
To get Feng Yue's attention, he would pay for everyone's tab.
But Feng Yue was a very smart woman; to put it bluntly, she was a master of playing games with men.
She neither accepted Xu Mu's pursuit nor rejected it, and she accepted all the gifts Xu Mu bought and the money he gave to the bar.
Commonly known as, "I accept gifts, but it doesn't mean I agree."
"Why aren't you answering?"
Ye Tong, beside him, asked.
"It's the bar owner. Maybe I haven't been spending money there recently, and she's getting anxious," Xu Mu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ye Tong and Ye Yu's expressions both turned a little sour.
[Favorability -1]
[Favorability -2]
Seeing the black text appearing above their heads, Xu Mu was a bit speechless. Were their reactions that quick?
"So, are you going to go?"
Ye Tong ate her food, trying to sound nonchalant.
"Let's see what she wants."
Xu Mu answered the phone, placed it on the table, and put it on speakerphone.
"Young Master Xu, are you busy?"
Feng Yue's captivating voice came through.
Hearing this, Ye Yu muttered, "Vixen!"
