Chapter 10:

"Jo Minghe seems to mistake me for Mu Yue," Bai Xiaoe said. "Mu Yue, that's a nice name. Do you two look alike?" Bai Lao asked with a furrowed brow. "Maybe!" Bai Xiaoe nodded slightly. "But it doesn't matter. With his power, he'll soon find out that I'm not the Mu Yue he knows." Bai Xiaoe suddenly didn't want Bai Lao to get involved, fearing that it would cause trouble for him. "If you need anything, be sure to call me. I'll find a way to come up with the money for your villa," Bai Lao said on the phone. "You probably don't have enough money over there!" Bai Xiaoe knew that Bai Lao had made some money from dealing with medicinal herbs a long time ago, but the advertising company he started recently had not yet taken off and funds were tight. "Don't worry, I'll find the money and buy that villa back," Bai Lao said before hanging up the phone. Unknowingly, Bai Xiaoe had arrived at the front of the main mansion of this private estate. The main mansion was built grandly, like a palace-style building, showing the identity and wealth of the owner. Bai Xiaoe was a little curious. When did her stepmother have such a super-rich cousin? She was about to turn around and leave when Bai Zichi suddenly walked out of the magnificent main mansion. "How did you get here?" Bai Zichi saw Bai Xiaoe outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, feeling unhappy. This place was not a place where a person like her could come casually. "Just came to take a look!" Bai Xiaoe replied lazily and didn't want to bother with her anymore. Bai Zichi sneered behind her and reminded her in a low voice, "We are living together here now, you should be grateful. Don't be so cheap and try to seduce the owner of this house by coming to the main mansion." Bai Xiaoe turned her head to look at her and gave a slight smile. It was just a dog barking, there was no need to waste her emotions because of it. She calmly walked back and didn't argue with Bai Zichi. After returning to the living room, Bai Mu pulled her daughter's hand and asked softly, "Did that bitch leave?" Bai Zichi nodded, "Yes! We are supposed to have dinner with the owner of this house tonight. How can we let her come in and ruin the atmosphere!" But they waited for a long time in the main living room on the first floor, and the owner of the house did not return. However, they learned from the servants that the owner of the house was particularly rich and powerful. And Bai Mu's cousin was the housekeeper of this house. Tonight, the housekeeper arranged for them to come and visit the owner, thanking him for taking them in. Bai Xiaoe returned to the villa alone, and the servants had prepared dinner for her. These servants were very polite to her, and even though Bai Mu, Bai Mu, and Bai Zichi were not there, the servants still prepared dinner for her. This surprised her a little. After Bai Xiaoe finished her meal, Bai Mu and his family came back, but they were hungry. However, the servants had already rested and no longer prepared food for them, so they could only eat the leftovers from Bai Xiaoe's meal. Bai Xiaoe took a shower, came out of the bathroom, and lay directly on the bed. Thinking of what Bai Lao said about Jo Minghe being temperamental, she took out her phone from under the pillow and prepared to search for Jo Minghe online. "What are you thinking about?" Suddenly, a warm and magnetic voice sounded in her ear. Bai Xiaoe was startled, her phone almost fell, and she quickly turned on the bedside lamp and looked over. A man who was so handsome that he was suffocating was lying lazily on her bed. "How did you get here?" Bai Xiaoe was shocked and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
