She didn't bring any luggage with her since this was an unplanned schedule that was forced upon her.
However, when she went through the stuff in her handbag, she found a stash of cash, a few credit cards, and her identity card inside.
But she didn't have her passport.
She would typically bring cash and a card when she went out, but only the amount that was enough for her to use.
Muchen must have prepared the extra cash and card. Since she was still in a daze this morning, she didn't even realize when Muchen had left them inside.
She couldn't have imagined that Muchen had all these details planned out from the very beginning.
Muchen had mentioned to her before that no one could be fully trusted in this world.
Despite her suspicions, could she have taken precautions over his deliberate plan to send her home?
It was impossible.
If she could prevent it from happening, Muchen would no longer be the Muchen she knew like the back of her hand.
Even if years passed, she still wouldn't be up to par to be an opponent on equal standing grounds with Muchen.
Ziyue sat leaning on the car window as she was engrossed in the familiar views passing by swiftly.
…
The car stopped at the Cloud Bay Hilltop Villa.
Chuan exited the car to open her car door and respectfully uttered, "Mrs. Qin, we're here."
After they left, the villa was left empty. But they weren't away for long, and people still came to tidy up the house, so it didn't feel abandoned.
Ziyue stood still at the entrance of the villa. Then, after a short moment, she went in.
A maid was cleaning up the garden when they went in. When she heard the sound from outside, she immediately went out to inspect the noise.
However, Ziyue was already entering the villa when the maid took the first few steps in.
The maid's eyes widened as she called, "Mrs. Qin?"
Why didn't anyone inform them that Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin were coming home?
Ziyue nodded at her and went inside right away.
She wasn't in the mood to talk.
There was not a single person living inside the villa.
Muchen was still in Country J.
Zixi and Beef were still with Jingshu.
Ziyue turned around and looked at Chuan as she said, "Let's go to Jingshu's place."
It was a weekday. Jingshu should be in the office, and since Xia was his secretary, she would also be there.
Chuan nodded and informed the bodyguard to drive to Yunteng.
…
The receptionist at Yunteng was someone new.
Ziyue walked in and noted the unfamiliar face of the lady at the reception.
However, when the receptionist saw Ziyue, she suddenly cried out, "Mrs. Qin!"
Surprised at the unexpected identification, Ziyue thought they must've met before.
"I'm here to find President Bai. Is he here?" Ziyue smiled respectfully at the receptionist.
"Yes, he's here." The receptionist nodded repeatedly, like a little chick bobbing their head.
"Thank you. I'll go straight up then." Since the receptionist knew her, she could save the hassle of identifying herself.
The bodyguard stayed on the ground floor while Chuan followed behind her.
Since she got on the private jet from Country J, Ziyue had been carrying a heavy burden in her heart. But knowing that she would see her son soon, she felt relieved and excited.
Both of them went directly toward Jingshu's office.
