41 Chapter 41: Losing the opportunity to go to school

She sat on her desk in the reception room and cried her heart out.

Everyone thought that she was crying because of the negotiation with Nangong Xun. Little did they know that she was actually crying because she had lost the opportunity to go to school.

Dongfang Yu was not the one who came to pick up Mu Ru. He had gone on a date with some beautiful woman shortly after he dropped her off at the building. It was Uncle Liu who came to pick her up. Uncle Liu told her that Dongfang Mo already knew about the failed negotiation.

When Mu Ru returned home, Dongfang Mo was sitting in his wheelchair with a gloomy face. He looked very angry. He looked uglier and more terrifying.

Mu Ru tried to overcome her fear and walked over to stand in front of Dongfang Mo. Then, she handed him the unsigned document with a trembling hand. She couldn't say a single word to defend herself.

"I told you that if you don't complete the mission, you will not be allowed to go to school," Dongfang Mo said in a cold tone.

At the same time, he turned to look at Dongfang Yingwu, who was sitting on the sofa not far away from him.

"It's not that I didn't trust you with the task, Second Uncle. I wanted to test her. This woman is completely useless," Dongfang Mo said.

Dongfang Yingwu sighed and looked at Xi Muru sympathetically.

"Young Madam, maybe you just weren't lucky. Nangong Xun is difficult to deal with, but—"

Dongfang Mo interrupted him. "What do you mean he's difficult to deal with? It's simply because she's not capable enough."

Dongfang Mo glared coldly at Xi Muru, who was standing pitifully in front of him.

"Hurry up and go to the isolation room to reflect on what happened. What are you still standing here for? Are you waiting to receive your award?" Dongfang Mo said in a more aggressive and sarcastic tone.

Mu Ru immediately turned around and left. She was no longer unfamiliar with the isolation room because she had already been locked in there for a day. It was there where she had memorized many of the things Dongfang Mo asked her to.

The isolation room was similar to a prison cell. It was a small and empty room. There was nothing inside except for a small window on one side of the wall. It was there simply to keep air circulating inside the room.

Mu Ru casually walked inside. The security guard locked her in, and the light in the confinement room instantly dimmed. She could choose to turn on the light inside the room, but she didn't. She was too lazy to do anything at all, so she leaned against the corner of the wall and sat down.

Dongfang Mo did not tell her how long she had to stay there. She didn't bother to think about it. She felt so helpless.

Anyway, she couldn't go to school anymore. For Mu Ru, the whole house was gloomy. If the confinement room felt like a small prison, the entire house felt like a big prison.

Since she could not go to school anymore, she felt like nothing mattered anymore. It made no difference whether she remained in that room for an hour or several days.

While Xi Muru was wasting her time in the confinement room, her family, the Xi family, was in chaos.

Xi Yuancheng looked at Nangong Xun, who was sitting in front of him like an elegant prince. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a tissue. He never dreamed that Nangong Xun was Qin Xun from back then.

"Uncle Xi, where's my fiancee, Xi Muru?" Nangong Xun asked without batting an eyelid.

Nangong Xun put down the teacup and looked indifferently at Xi Yuancheng, who looked more nervous than ever.
