Chapter 31 Memory Lost Again

The color drained out of Mu Xinyue's face. She realized they had fallen into Mu Xia's trap once again.

「This girl is not as naïve as we thought.」

The cop reprimanded the mother-daughter duo. They had no choice but to apologize since there were no surveillance cameras around to record the incident.

This incident also marked the fourth time they fell prey to Mu Xia's trap.

「From now on, we have to put our guard up!」

Once the cop left, Situ Qingshan immediately yelled at Mu Xia. "Stop acting, bitch! What a coward!"

Mu Xia shrugged. "What? How could you expect me to confess something I've not done?"

"You are a shameless bitch!" Situ Qingshan cursed.

Mu Xia snorted. "The pot calling the kettle black."

"You!" What Mu Xia said had rendered Situ Qingshan speechless.

Had Mu Xinyue not stepped in to stop her, Situ Qingshan would have thrown a punch at Mu Xia.

Since their car had arrived, Mu Xinyue immediately told Situ Qingshan to get into the car, leaving Mu Xia alone at the airport.

Mu Xia did not intend to travel with them, anyway. She had even thought of making an excuse to get down halfway through the journey home. A corner of her mouth quirked up when Mu Xinyue and Situ Qingshan left without her.

It was difficult to hail a cab at the airport, so Mu Xia had no choice but to wait patiently.

Soon, a black SUV arrived.

Mu Xia put her guard up and took a few steps back. The person sitting at the passenger's seat behind then winded down the window. It was Ye Sijue.

Just when she was hesitating on whether to greet him, Ye Sijue initiated the conversation. "Have you lost your memory again?"

Mu Xia was at a loss for words. "I…"

"Come on, get in," Ye Sijue did not give her a chance to turn him down.

Mu Xia hesitated and rejected. "I think I should get a cab…"

"Are you scared that I might take advantage of you?" Ye Sijue took a sidelong glance at her. The way he looked at her was as if he looked down on her.

Mu Xia did not know how to react to that question. 「Excuse me? I'm not that narcissistic, okay?」

Since Ye Sijue had made an offer, Mu Xia decided not to waste time anymore. She opened the door on the other side and got into the car.

After closing the door, Mu Xia said, "Please drop me at any bank around this area. Thank you."

Ye Sijue kept mum and read the newspaper in silence. It was as if Mu Xia was invisible to him.

Ye Sijue's personal secretary, who sat next to the chauffeur, wondered why he decided to read a newspaper when he never had the habit of doing so in the past. After noticing how he deliberately ignored Mu Xia, the secretary figured what Ye Sijue was thinking.

「He only did it on purpose because he cares about her.」

The secretary believed Mu Xia was someone special to Ye Sijue. He then replied on Ye Sijue's behalf, "We'll drop you at the bank in Sanqiao then. It'll be easy for you to get a cab later too."

"Thank you." Mu Xia expressed her gratitude.

"You're welcome." The personal secretary could not stop himself from smiling at that beautiful lady.

All of a sudden, he saw a hard glint flashed across Ye Sijue's eyes.

Ye Sijue's murderous look sent chills down the secretary's spine. He instantly refrained from talking to Mu Xia.

Half an hour later, Mu Xia arrived at the bank at Sanqiao. When she was about to thank them after stepping out of the car, Ye Sijue ordered the chauffeur, "Go!"

The car then immediately peeled out, leaving Mu Xia stunned in disbelief.

「What's wrong with him? What a weirdo!」

Mu Xia then took out the supplementary card Situ Hai gave her and walked into the bank.

The information the bank provided her took her by surprise. She walked out of the bank a few minutes later.
