Ye Qiaoxi had only read a few lines and the contents of the contract startled her. The terms of the contract limited all her personal freedom. "If you're not satisfied, you don't have to sign. Pay 200 thousand, then you can leave." Mu Cangchen said. "I'll sign it." She signed her name with a pen. Although this contract was harsh, she could still repay Mu Cangchen's debt within a year. Furthermore, she could not go home now. If she was to leave Mu Cangchen, she would have to sleep on the street. If she doesn't sign, she's a fool. It wasn't a problem for her to be on call. After all, she’s to live in his house. It's no problem not to get along with the opposite s*x. Even her cherished first love could vanish, so she wouldn't believe in love anymore. Mu Cangchen watched as she signed the contract. Then he recalled and asked, "You grew up in the country?" Ye Qiaoxi nodded, "Yes, I grew up in an orphanage. Three years ago, I was on exchange studies in the country, I went to England for three months. And I found my parents when I returned home." She briefly described her situation. She didn't want to say anything more about her parents. "Have you ever had amnesia?" Mu Cangchen continued to ask. "Huh?" she sighed at his question, "I have never lost my memory." Mu Cangchen's brows sunk. This wasn't the answer he wanted. If Ye Qiaoxi's memories were complete, then he would admit his mistake. However, that’s impossible. He knew every detail of her body, and he recognized her no matter what she looks like. "En, you can rest." he said, and walked out of the room. For three days she lay in bed, nursing her wounds, never getting up except to go to the bathroom. The reason was so painful that she couldn't walk even if she wanted to. The Mu family's servants treated her pretty well. Every day, someone would bring to her room three square meals. The only thing she couldn't stand was Mu Cangchen inspecting her wounds every morning and night. Even though he had seen it many times, she still could not remain calm. On the fourth day, her wounds were almost healed. Mu Cangchen finally let her go to work with him. After staying there for three days, she walked out of her room for the first time. She looked at the luxurious villa and couldn't help gasping. The paintings on the wall were all genuine masterpieces, each one worth several tens of millions. The floor was marble of jade grade. She was afraid to stain the ground when she stepped on it. Her parents were ordinary people who lived in a unit, and when her father came off duty, he started a company with two friends and mortgaged the house. Now she could see that this was a luxury she had never seen before, and the villa was so luxurious that she felt dizzy. She followed the man to the dining room for breakfast, and the man's graceful and noble bearing convinced her that Three Generations had brought up a nobleman. The Mu family was one of the top business leaders in this country. The noble temperament of the Mu family's children was truly extraordinary. As soon as they finished their breakfast, the servant came in to report. "President, madam is here." Mu Cangchen's brows sunk as he stood up and walked out of the dinning room. Ye Qiaoxi also hurried out. Madam should be Mu Cangchen's mother. She followed him into the living room, where a middle-aged woman was sitting. "Mom, why are you here?" Mu Cangchen walked over and sat beside his mother, Yu Yalan. Yu Yalan raised her brows and looked at the girl following behind Mu Cangchen. "This is?" "This is the special assistant I recruited." He answered. Ye Qiaoxi walked forward and respectfully greeted Yu Yalan, "Madam, hello." Yu Yalan's eyes sized up Ye Qiaoxi. "Which school did you graduate from?" Do you have any work experience?" "I graduated from Hua Zhou University. I'm still on my internship, so I don't have any work experience." She told the truth. "Hua Zhou University is a famous university, however, why did you recruit a girl with no work experience to be your special assistant, Cangchen? Your job is a busy one, so you should get a smart and capable girl to help you share some of your work." Yu Yalan said. "No need, how will you know it won't work?" Mu Cangchen. Ye Qiaoxi's face hardens. Why were Mu Cangchen’s words so awkward? What did he mean by she's useful?” Yu Yalan changed the topic. "I don't care you about you getting a special assistance. You can do you see fit." I have something important to tell you today. The girl you are engaged to." I've made an appointment with her to meet you." "As I earlier said, I don't admit any betrothal." Mu Cangchen. "Admit it or not, it's not something you can decide. It’s what your grandfather ordered. You can't disobey your grandfather's orders." This girl's grandfather once saved your grandfather's life. Your grandfather had arranged a marriage between you and her since then. Our Mu family was trustworthy in Hua, so this kind of big matter isn't something you can decide on so lightly. However, I had already met that girl; I called her to the house and got along with her for two days. She’s good-looking and sensible. I would be satisfied if she were my daughter-in-law." Yu Yalan said. Mu Cangchen's expression darkened, "Without my permission, no one can decide anything about this matter." The servant entered the living room and reported, "Madam, boss, there are some guests outside, they said that they have made an appointment with Madam." "En, she should be here. Bring her in!" Yu Yalan ordered the servants. "Yes." The servant withdrew. Ye Qiaoxi curiously looked at the living room's door. She was also curious as to who the girl Mu Cangchen had been engaged to since he was young was. The girl wore a white lace dress, slightly lowered her head, and humbly and respectfully walked into the living room. "Hello, Madam Mu. Hello, President Mu!" She greeted politely. The moment Ye Qiaoxi saw the girl, her face turned pale. She never would have thought that the girl who got engaged to Mu Cangchen would be her sister Ye Yudong. It was her sister and mother who harmed her! Her hands clenched uncontrollably into fists. "Cangchen, this is Ye Yudong, Miss Ye!" Yu Dong, this is my son, Mu Cangchen." Yu Yalan introduced. Ye Yudong raised her head and looked bashfully at the man. Her gaze never left his body. She knew that Mu Cangchen was handsome, but his handsome appearance had already exceeded her imagination. "Professor Mu!" So it's you! Do you remember me? The year before the previous one, when you came to give a speech at Huizhou University, a few classmates and I were responsible for receiving you!" She made a face of surprise and excitement. It was as if she had just discovered that Mu Cangchen was the professor who gave speech at the school. Mu Cangchen nodded, "I remember, thank you for your hard work." "It's not hard work. It's all my duty." Ye Yudong said. "Well, we've met each other before, this is really fate!" "Ha ha-ha, if I have known that you are Cangchen’s fiancé, I would have asked Cangchen to bring you home." Yu Yalan said happily. "Auntie, don't say that." Ye Yudong turned her head away shyly. Suddenly, she stopped moving. Her eyes widened in astonishment. "Ye Qiaoxi, why are you here?"
