But then she slacked off and nodded. With his permission, there was no need for her to show much dedication.

With one leg, Mu Jiuyue bounced to her room and she delightfully found that the sheet had been changed.

“Sir, the call from home said that Miss Mu has woken up and looks much better now.” After a call, Qin San reported to Su Feng’ao.

Nodding his head, Su Feng’ao seemed unconcerned.

After only taking one day off, Mu Jiuyue went back to work willingly.

“Oh? Here comes the newcomer! It’s only been a few days, isn’t it? But it’s awesome to be absent from work for no reason.” A piercing voice sounded in her ears when Mu Jiuyue had just arrived at the office. Mu Jiuyue frowned slightly, paused and then walked directly to her position, heedless of the remark.

“Oh? What happened to the leg? How pathetic!”

“Who knows if she just faked it for the purpose of avoiding the matter of her absenteeism yesterday?”

“Ah! Mu Jiuyue! Are you insane?”

Mu Jiuyue dierctly took the two folders on the table and smashed them towards the two gabby persons right on their faces.

Xu Jia and the other blushed at the vague laughter of others. When they intended to hit back, the others stopped them.

“Oh, I thought it was the cry of crows.” Mu Jiuyue looked innocently at them, a hint of cunningness crossing her eyes.

“Mu Jiuyue, don’t get so cocky. You might as well think about how to give a fine explaination of your matter yesterday!” Xu Jia gave her a vicious glare, and the malice in her eyes was obvious.

“Oh? I can’t imagine that you two care so much about me.” Mu Jiuyue showed a sweet smile to them, and they instantly felt a chill on their backs.

“What’s the noise in the morning?” Suddenly, a stern voice came from the doorway. Quickly, all of the people lowered their heads, pretending to be busy with their own business.

Xu Jia and the other were also startled and ran back to their positions in a hurry.

“Mu Jiuyue, bring to me your report.” The director uttered the few words and went back to her office.

Mu Jiuyue froze at once. Gosh! The report was left in Su Feng’ao’s house!

She hurriedly slipped to the bathroom while the director didn’t take notice, and made a call to Su Feng’ao.

“Uncle Su, do you remember the black bag in my hand on that rainning day? Where did you put it?”

Surely, extreme joy begot sorrow!

Frowning slightly, Su Feng’ao replied, “Is it in my hands instead of your room?”

“Ah!” Mu Jiuyue wailed with anxiety. “Fine, then see you later.”

But it was too late to go back and get it now. Resignedly, Mu Jiuyue walked towards the director’s office.

“Knock, knock.”

“Come in,” from inside came the voice of the director. “Leave the report and you go firstly. I’ll call you if there’s a problem.” The director said without even lifting her head.

But the hearer made no reaction. Puzzled, the director looked up and saw that Mu Jiuyue was standing in front but with nothing in her hand. Then the director’s face turned dark.

Glancing at the icy expression of the director, Mu Jiuyue immediately confessed, “Director, I didn’t bring it here.”

“Do you bring your brain then?” The director rebuked her coldly.

Mu Jiuyue’s eyebrows furrowed. She just forgot to take it after finishing the report. Moreover, she had already apologized.

Suppressing her feeling, she explained patiently, “It rained that day, I…”

“I have no interest in your reason.” The director interrupted Mu Jiuyue straightly and the office fell silent.

Suddenly, Mu Jiuyue was in a rage. She could only get such treatment after she got wet in the rain, had a fever and sprained her foot for the damn report?

“Then I won’t say anything.” Mu Jiuyue left the words and was about to leave.

“Mu Jiuyue, what’s your attitude to me?” The exasperated director slapped the table hard.

Mu Jiuyue slammed the door and left, ignoring the angry roar of the director from the office.

Turning a deaf ear to this, she went straight to the balcony on the top floor.

The wind was strong here. She sniffed the air, found the lee side, sat down, pulled out her phone, and dialed a number.

She looked a bit despondent, different from her normal aggressiveness, like a child at a loss for direction.

The call went through, and a kind voice sounded. Mu Jiuyue felt a lump get into her throat and tears were welling up in her eyes.

“Jiuyue, my sweetheart.” Mr. Mu was walking in the garden when receiving the call from Mu Jiuyue in surprise.

Shouldn’t she be working at Su’s company at this time?

“Grandpa.” Mu Jiuyue’s voice was somewhat muffled. Quickly alerted by her abnormal voice, Mr. Mu looked gloomy, but his tone was quite gentle. “Jiuyue?  What is it? Being bullied?”

Finding the outlet of her emotion, Mu Jiuyue spoke out the whole story.

“You see, I have apologized already. What more does she want? I did not do it on purpose! I have always put up with her criticism before! But it was too much to bear today!” Mu Jiuyue kicked at the stones by her feet, expressing her displeasure.

An idea suddenly came up. She couldn’t even wait for Mu Zhengxiong to reply and then said, “Grandpa, I don't want to stay here anymore. Where are you? I'll go and find you.”

Startled by her words, Mu Zhengxiong hurriedly acted dumb and said, “What? Jiuyue? What are you talking about? The signal from my side is not good. Remember to work hard. The Mu Group is depending on you.”

“Grandpa!” Mu Jiuyue shouted at the phone, only to hear the voice, “Beep beep beep...”

A glimmer of doubt flashed through her mind. Where was Grandpa? Was the signal unstable like this?

Was it really her fault?
