Chapter 11: What Do You Think of Me?

"Young Mistress, what's the matter?" Papa Mu's secretary was asking after Mu Tangxue.

"I'm fine. Is it done yet?"

"Almost!" The secretary replied.

Mu Tangxue thought then that she could now attend Eaton to slowly find out the truth.

She just didn't know that Eaton had suddenly suspended the arrangement, even phoning Papa Mu's office directly.

"What? My daughter can't transfer over? That's not what you said before!"

Papa Mu Was beside himself with rage. "I don't care. Weren't you asking for money? I have as much as you need."

"It's not a question of money, Mister Mu. I'm really sorry, but our places are full, and it turned out to be an issue with the administration."

"I doubt your honor as a first-class academy!"

"Sorry for causing trouble!"

In truth, Eaton's administration thought nothing of it.

Papa Mu was left embarrassed, but what could he do? Since Van Gogh was fine too, he made a call to his wife and informed her that the transfer was a failure.

Mama Mu was surprised, but she accepted the outcome and relayed the news to Mu Tangxue after returning home from her gathering. "Baby, your dad just called me. He told me that Eaton is full, so it's impossible for you to transfer."

Mu Tangxue's face fell dramatically!

That wasn't right. The secretary just told her that it was almost done—why would the transfer be canceled suddenly?

It must be Mu Qiqi! Mu Qiqi must have stopped her somehow.

"But I really want to go, Mommy."

"Your father tried your best, and Van Gogh's fine too! You're going to take your entrance exams soon, and you might have trouble adapting if you transfer schools now..."

Unable to tell her family the truth, Mu Tangxue pouted miserably and burst into tears as she returned to her room.

She wasn't feeling upset that she couldn't transfer, but because Mu Qiqi was actually attending a better school.

No... She didn't want that. She couldn't allow her disowned sister to have a better life than her own!

With that in mind, Mu Tangxue planned to meet Mu Qiqi personally.

However, since she couldn't afford to have her family find out, she sneaked out unnoticed by her mother and went to the café outside Eaton.

She would question Mu Qiqi and find out the truth!

Naturally, Mu Qiqi was herself surprised by Mu Tangxue's appearance. Troubled inside, she was barely keeping herself together.

She certainly did not want to return to the Mu family or be bullied by Mu Tangxue once again, but most importantly, she did not want to cut ties with Sheng Xiao!

She really wanted to tell Sheng Xiao how she felt, but with him busy playing the role of Huang Yao's Crown Prince, he did not have the time to care about her frivolous matters.

Even so, she really wanted to do so.

As such, she would write down her thoughts into her diary. It would at least keep her grounded inwardly, and she could think of it as having told it to Sheng Xiao.

She certainly did not know that her good sister was waiting at Eaton's main gates!

With the day's work done, Sheng Xiao glanced at his luxurious watch.
