Chapter 8: She Was Pretending to be Foolish

Ye Jiayao: !!! She didn't mean it at all! But suddenly she realized something. How could someone like Ye Jiayao, who despised the poor, loved the rich, and was extremely vain, buy food from a street stall!

Out of habit, she tried to be frugal, but this time it was a mistake!

"If you don't want it..."

Ye Jiayao was about to take the soup dumplings away.

"Wait!" Mu Linghan suddenly spoke, her voice icy cold. "Isn't it said that wasting food is shameful? Then you should eat it."

Mu Linghan had a mocking expression, and Ye Jiayao immediately understood. The big shot must have thought she would feel insulted and angry, right? So, should she play along?

Thinking like this, she immediately put on an angry and aggrieved expression, her eyes filled with accusation. "Mu Linghan, you've gone too far!"

Mu Linghan found herself unable to withstand Ye Jiayao's pitiful gaze and involuntarily averted her eyes, snorting coldly. "Tit for tat."

Ye Jiayao looked at the steaming bowl of soup dumplings, her inner cravings already screaming. She put on a reluctant expression, picked it up in frustration, and prepared to leave.

Mu Linghan immediately stopped her. "Eat it here!"

Don't even think about secretly pouring it out!

Ye Jiayao: "..."

Why is the big shot so childish!

So, Ye Jiayao put on a sorrowful expression on the surface while feeling delighted inside as she ate the soup dumplings.

They're really delicious!

Mu Linghan furrowed her brows, feeling that something was off.

Ye Jiayao was full and satisfied, still wearing a face that seemed humiliated. She picked up the food container and was about to throw it away. As she stood up, she accidentally kicked a pair of patient slippers on the nearby shoe rack, causing them to make a sound.

Ye Jiayao: "..."

Mu Linghan also saw the slippers: "..."

There was a brief moment of silence in the air.

Ye Jiayao's mind quickly turned, and in an instant, she guessed what had happened. She immediately complained, "And they call this a high-level VIP ward? They can't even tidy up properly. Terrible review!"

Saying that, she bent down, picked up the slippers, and put them back on the shoe rack as if nothing had happened. Then she casually walked to the bathroom to throw away the food container.

Once inside the bathroom, Ye Jiayao's expression immediately collapsed. She was sweating profusely, and her heart was pounding. That was close! She almost got silenced!

She didn't expect the big shot to be faking the illness! She must have gone to the restroom just now, right? No wonder the bodyguards tried to stop her! If the big shot wanted to put on a show, couldn't she do it properly? The slippers weren't even arranged neatly, exposing such a huge flaw!

But then Ye Jiayao thought again. Normally, only the big shot's trusted subordinates were allowed into the ward, and she was the only "outsider." If she hadn't been constantly accompanying by the bedside, she wouldn't have noticed these small details.

As we all know, Ye Jiayao despises Mu Linghan and thinks about divorce all the time. But now that Mu Linghan is hospitalized, she's actually staying here by his side?

Could it be to see if he's dead or not?

Two relatives exchanged a glance, and the middle-aged man with Mediterranean hair stepped forward and spoke.

"Ye Jiayao, we want to go in and visit Mr. Mu!"

His attitude was poor, not seeing Ye Jiayao as Mrs. Mu at all.

The other middle-aged man, thin and slim, had a somewhat better attitude.

"Ye Jiayao, how is Mr. Mu doing now?"

Ye Jiayao looked disdainful and said, "Half-dead, he's really unlucky!"

Then she muttered, "I haven't divorced him yet..."

Hearing this, both men saw the calculation in each other's eyes.

The thin man asked again.

"Can we go in and see Mr. Mu?"

Saying this, they attempted to walk in, but the bodyguards stopped them.

They immediately turned to Ye Jiayao, "We came to visit Mr. Mu. What's the meaning of blocking us? Ye Jiayao, tell these bodyguards to step aside."

Ye Jiayao's face showed some indignation, "What's the point of telling me? They don't listen to me anyway."

The two men exchanged another glance, realizing that Ye Jiayao was indeed as selfish and self-centered as the rumors claimed.

"Then you go in and talk to Mr. Mu, and let us in, okay?"

Ye Jiayao's expression immediately turned unpleasant, "Are you kidding me?"

The two men couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Considering Ye Jiayao's relationship with Mu Linghan, her words were probably ineffective.
