Chapter 21: Don't make me repeat myself for the third time

Mu Ru was slightly taken aback. Of course, she had not told Dongfang Mo about it. Dongfang Mo was like a ghost. She couldn't even breathe properly around him, so how could she dare to talk to him about anything?

"Second Brother, Mu Ru is a student herself. It's only right and proper for her to go to school," Dongfang Jun said.

Dongfang Jun, who was standing by the side, spoke up for Mu Ru. He felt it was unjust.

Dongfang Jun continued, "Why? Mu Ru, ignore Second Brother. Come with me."

"Ah Jun, let me remind you that she's your eldest sister-in-law. Don't call her Mu Ru every time," Dongfang Yu said sternly.

Dongfang Yu's voice had obviously turned cold. He was originally in a good mood, but he suddenly turned gloomy. He was obviously displeased with Dongfang Jun, who kept calling Mu Ru by her name.

"Ah Jun, hurry up and go to school. Didn't you say you were going to be late?" Dongfang Mei said.

At the same time, Dongfang Mei thought it was best to remind him about how he should address Mu Ru.

"The Dongfang family is a big family. There are rules regarding hierarchy. You cannot call your eldest sister-in-law by her name. Only your brother and I can call her that. You and Ah Yu have to refer to her as your sister-in-law."

"Got it," Dongfang Jun replied unhappily.

He put down the glass of milk, which he had just finished, and looked at Mu Ru sympathetically. He turned around and walked out of the door.

Mu Ru looked at Dongfang Yu, who was staring at her from the stairs. She glared at him. Then, she walked past him and quickly went upstairs.

Dongfang Yu shrugged and shook his head. He ignored her and went downstairs, straight towards the door. Dongfang Mei unhappily called out to him. "Ah Yu!"

"Ah Yu, aren't you going to eat breakfast?"

"No, I'm not."

Dongfang Yu did not even turn his head. He walked straight out of the door and barely spoke.

"I'm meeting Tang Lili for breakfast," he said.

Dongfang Mei let out a low, cold snort. She thought that Dongfang Yu was a carefree young master who spent his days eating, drinking, gambling, and playing with women. She felt like he was a hopeless case. If the Dongfang Corporation fell into his hands, it would be ruined sooner or later!

Mu Ru was frustrated that she could not go to school. There was nothing she could do, especially because she was not yet familiar with the Dongfang family. She returned to her room and removed the bed sheets and pillowcases that Dongfang Mo had ruined the previous night. She washed them, dried them, and put them back on the bed and pillows.

By the time she was done, it was already past three in the afternoon. She was tired. She had not eaten lunch and was exhausted. She did not even have the strength to go downstairs, so she fell onto the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Most people who slept would know when the door of their room was opened or when someone came in. Mu Ru, however, fell in a deep sleep. She was only awakened when someone pinched her nose. She opened her eyes when she realized she could not breathe properly. Dongfang Mo's ghastly face appeared before her.

Mu Ru gritted her teeth tightly. She tried her best not to scream out in fear. However, Dongfang Mo was very dissatisfied, because he clearly saw how afraid she was of him.

"Xi Muru, your father said that you're a good girl."

Dongfang Mo raised his voice and then snorted coldly.

"Take off your clothes and let me check," he said.

"What?"

Mu Ru understood, but she retreated. She was still on the bed. Even if she wanted to leave, she couldn't because she was still on the bed.

"Take off your clothes. I want to check if you're an original!" Dongfang Mo said in a stern tone.

Dongfang Mo was getting angry.

"Don't make me say it a third time!"
