Chapter 99

Muyan stared blankly at Yuan Rui, who had just thrown herself into his arms. Muyan had no idea what was wrong with this little girl, why she would do this as soon as they met. Fortunately, his sister wasn't there; otherwise, if Tong Ling saw this, with her current fiery temper, he couldn't even imagine what would happen.

"Rui Rui, what are you doing?" Muyan gently patted Yuan Rui's back and asked softly.

"Brother Yan, I... I..." Only now did Yuan Rui realize that she had thrown herself into a man's arms in public, and she felt extremely embarrassed, not knowing how to respond. After a few "I"s, she actually buried her head in Muyan's chest.

"Rui Rui, is there something wrong with your mother?" Muyan guessed.

Hearing "mother," Yuan Rui thought of the real matter and finally left Muyan's embrace, but her face was still flushed. "No, my mother is fine, it's just that... I..."

Seeing that Yuan Rui couldn't explain herself, Muyan continued, "Did your sister send me here?"

Hearing this, Yuan Rui, who was still blushing, looked at Muyan in surprise and exclaimed, "Brother Yan, do you know my sister?"

"Yes, I work with her. I'm her boss. She had something to do, so I came on her behalf. I didn't expect you to be her sister. Her accent isn't local, so I never thought you two were sisters before," Muyan said, finally resolving a lingering doubt. Yuan Rui was just a commoner, and her mother needed a kidney transplant. Even if they waited in line, they would have to pay immediately, or they would have to wait for the next opportunity. The hospital wouldn't wait for the patient to pay. This was probably due to Tong Ling's current status, who found a way to solve the problem. This little girl probably didn't know that her sister's status had changed. Otherwise, she wouldn't have secretly come out to sell herself to save her mother. Fortunately, she met him; otherwise, this girl would have regretted it deeply.

Hearing Muyan's explanation, Yuan Rui felt a mix of emotions. On the one hand, she was glad that Brother Yan worked at her sister's company and was even her boss. On the other hand, she was sad that her sister was willing to let Brother Yan pay to save someone, indicating a close relationship. Her sister was so beautiful; perhaps Brother Yan and her sister were a couple. Her sister was so good to her; could she really compete with her sister for a man?

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing the girl's fluctuating expression, Muyan asked.

"Oh! Nothing, I just didn't expect that Brother Yan would be my sister's colleague. Are you and my sister a couple?" Yuan Rui asked.

Hearing this, Muyan immediately smiled and shook his head. "Your sister is usually very nice, but if you really upset her, she can be very fierce. Such a wife would be a nightmare to live with, and I don't want that. For me, a girl shouldn't be too weak; she needs to have a strong side. But your sister is too strong, or rather, she has no gentle side. Of course, don't tell your sister this, or I'll be in big trouble!"

Hearing that Muyan and her sister weren't in that kind of relationship, Yuan Rui felt a surge of joy. However, she thought about herself and realized she was too weak compared to her sister. If she wanted Muyan to like her, she needed to be stronger. Thinking about this, Yuan Rui felt a wave of shyness and quickly changed the subject to her sister. "Actually, my sister wasn't always like this. Later, when the three of us women were trying to make a living in Donghai, if my sister wasn't fierce, we would have been bullied even more!"

"Has someone been bullying you all along?" Thinking about how Tong Ling and Yu Jing worked hard for him, yet were still bullied, Muyan couldn't just stand by!

Yuan Rui nodded and sighed. "After my father died, my uncle, who was attracted to my mother's beauty, wanted to take advantage of her. Later, when my mother fell ill and aged, he stopped bothering us. But recently, he has come back, saying he wants to introduce my sister to someone. He just wants to use her to build connections. It's not really a match, and those men just want to take advantage of her. One time, he brought someone who looked at me in a way that scared me. Fortunately, I always live at school, so I don't know how my sister deals with those guys."

"If your uncle causes trouble again, call me. Now, let's take care of the important matters. By the way, I'm here as a company representative to visit the family of a sick employee, so don't tell your mother too much about me. Also, don't tell your sister about meeting Sun Kaiqing yesterday. In the company, most people just see me as an ordinary manager!" Muyan instructed Yuan Rui.

"Ah! Brother Yan, why are you doing this?" Yuan Rui asked curiously.

"Because the company's internal struggles are intense, and I need to stay in the shadows to strike the enemy with a fatal blow!" Muyan said with a smile.

Yuan Rui didn't fully understand Muyan's words but didn't intend to ask further.

After paying the money, the hospital, which had a good reputation, immediately scheduled the surgery for Yuan Rui's mother for the following Monday.

Muyan, as a company representative, met with Yuan Rui and Tong Ling's mother, Liang Cuilan. Although she was only forty-three, she looked much older due to her illness.

The mother was deeply moved by the company's concern but, due to a recent dialysis, didn't have much energy, only managing to express her gratitude.

Seeing that she wasn't in good spirits and that Yuan Rui had classes in the afternoon, Muyan gave some supplements to Liang Cuilan's sister-in-law, who had come from their hometown to take care of her, and then sent Yuan Rui to school.

As Muyan drove away with Yuan Rui, far away in Ronghua Villa, Sun Kaiqing received a call.

"Oh, you mean they hugged as soon as they met, and Muyan came to the hospital to visit the girl's mother, and instead of using the 100,000 yuan from us, he paid with his own card?" Sun Kaiqing asked a series of questions after hearing the caller's description.

"Yes, and before leaving, he left an envelope with 20,000 yuan inside. Boss, should I continue to keep an eye on the girl?" the voice on the phone asked again.

"No need to be so tight, but don't relax. Protect the girl. I didn't expect this little girl to turn into a phoenix and fly to the treetops!" Sun Kaiqing said with a hint of amusement.

Muyan drove to the school entrance, originally intending to let her off there. However, as the car was about to stop, Yuan Rui, who had been silent in the car, suddenly said, "Brother Yan, can you take me directly to the classroom? It's quite a distance from the entrance, and it's almost time for class!"

Seeing that Yuan Rui said this, Muyan didn't hesitate and drove directly into the school. Following Yuan Rui's directions, the car soon stopped in front of a teaching building. Although Yuan Rui got out of the car and waved goodbye to Muyan, some students nearby were looking at him, but Muyan didn't pay attention and drove away.

Entering the classroom, the professor hadn't arrived yet, but most of the students were already there. Fan Qian, who had seen Yuan Rui skip two classes and then be driven back, was furious. Seeing Yuan Rui, he couldn't help but mock her, "Yuan Rui, how did you finish so quickly and come back?"
