As Chi Mu Jiu dragged her weary body home, the night had thickened like impenetrable ink.
Looking at the wound on her hand, her thoughts drifted back to the hospital. Before she left, the doctor had solemnly advised her not to let the wound touch water for a week, or else it would leave an unsightly scar. Chi Mu Jiu sighed lightly; she truly had no extra energy to think about anything else. After a quick wash-up, she lay down to rest.
In her drowsy state, she could still catch a faint whiff of sandalwood lingering on the sheets and duvet. How could a male model smell like sandalwood? Chi Mu Jiu thought this but was too deeply under the spell of sleep to ponder further.
For the next two days, Chi Mu Jiu quietly stayed at home watching dramas. Whenever she wanted to play games, she found herself slowing down due to the pain from her wound. During these two days, Du Heng Yan reported in like clockwork, occasionally calling to ask if she was eating well. At first, Chi Mu Jiu managed to hide her injury from him, but during their video calls, Du Heng Yan's keen eyes caught sight of it.
She thought he wouldn't notice.
That afternoon, a crisp doorbell suddenly rang. The full-time housekeeper that Du Heng Yan had hired remotely had arrived. Her presence injected a burst of energy into the quiet home. The housekeeper neatly arranged bags of fresh ingredients one by one. It must be said that not only was she an excellent cook, but she also handled all household chores with ease.
The home was tidy and spotless. Her service attitude was as warm as fire; after Chi Mu Jiu finished her shower, the housekeeper stood at the door and insisted on applying medicine to her wound before she would leave for the day. Her spirits were remarkably high; every morning she arrived with a smile, and when she left in the evening, she wore a satisfied grin.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Chi Mu Jiu asked the housekeeper about her employment. The housekeeper chuckled and revealed that Du Heng Yan had paid five times the usual rate to have her take care of Chi Mu Jiu and even provided her with a car for convenience.
Hearing this, Chi Mu Jiu felt a wave of darkness wash over her. This guy really thought things through! The more she considered it, the more she felt that Du Heng Yan's money didn’t come from modeling but rather seemed like something scavenged from a garbage heap.
That night was no exception. After taking a shower, Chi Mu Jiu found her aunt waiting at the door with medicine in hand. Once she had changed and taken her medication, her aunt finally left with a sense of relief.
Chi Mu Jiu could still hear the engine of that new car worth nearly three hundred thousand revving up in the courtyard. Just as she was about to call Du Heng Yan, a message from her family member popped up on WeChat.
Looking at the message on her phone screen, a mix of emotions surged within her. Here it came.
【Mu Jiu, have you rested yet?】
【Not yet.】
Just two brief words without any honorifics. Chi Mu Jiu lightly tapped the screen without hesitation and sent the message.
The other party quickly replied.
【Is your hand feeling any better?】
【It's fine now, don’t worry.】
After sending her reply, Chi Mu Jiu didn’t exit the chat interface. She knew that her family member wasn’t one to casually check in without reason. Sure enough, her phone vibrated again.
【The collaboration meeting between the Chi and Ye families will be held tomorrow. All the media and various figures from the business community will be there.】
Reading this message, Chi Mu Jiu understood the implication behind those words. All the prominent figures in the city would attend this collaboration meeting, and as the eldest daughter of the Chi family, if she didn’t show up, it would surely attract a lot of attention. Who in the business community wouldn’t want to collaborate with the Ye family?
