Putting the phone aside, Mu Jiuyue sat up and stuffed a steak in her mouth, muttering to herself, “Money is paid, why not take it!”
In this Michelin-starred restaurant, the table where Mu Jiuyue sat became apparently a special scene, catching more and more attention.
At the time of Qin San’s arrvial, most of food at the table had already been eaten up!
“Miss Mu, the bill is paid. ” Qin San was shocked by the leftovers. ‘Miss Mu must have a good appetite!’
“Hiccup,” Mu Jiuyue belched when she was about to say something. “Oh, well. Let’s go.”
…
On Monday
“Ring… Ring…”
An arm stretched out of the quilt, reached the alarm clock and turned it off.
Rolling over, the one in the bed fell asleep again.
Sitting in front of the table in the living room, Su Feng'ao looked at his watch and said, “Wake her up.”
“Yes, Sir.” The maid answered, walking to Mu Jiuyue’s room.
The woman, seeming to have dreamed something bad with a slight frown, was still in sound sleep.
After unlocking the door, the maid went straight to the bed and snatched the covers off. “Miss Mu, you should get up now.” She said raising her voice.
Feeling the sudden coldness, Mu Jiuyue took a glimpse at the maid in a daze, laid hold of the quilt with her hand, and grabbed it back. Then she turned over and went back to sleep.
While without any change of her expression, the maid said in a serious voice, “Miss Mu, Mr Su warned that if you did not show up in the dining room within ten minutes, all your debts would be doubled.”
“What?” Mu Jiuyue opened her eyes wide and began to fumble for her clothes. ‘Where did I put the chothes prepared yesterday?’
Now Mu Jiuyue found that her despair was beyond tears. ‘Suffering a half night of diarrhea! I should not have eaten so much yesterday.’
The maid was standing at the door with a timer in her hand, which had been counting from the moment of her entrance. It had been 15 minutes when Mu Jiuyue got to the living room.
As she stood at the dining table breathlessly, Su Feng'ao glanced at the maid behind her.
“Fifteen minutes.” The maid answered understandingly.
Instantly Mu Jiuyue’s face crumpled. Then she sat right in front of Su Feng'ao before he made any statement, looking at him miserably, “Uncle Su, there’ s a reason for it… I had the runs last night, as you can see from terrible circles around my eyes.”
“Thus, I’ll give you two choices.” Su Feng'ao said with a half smile.
“Tell me!” She said eagerly. Mu Jiuyue saw a prospect full of hope.
“One is to quintuple the debt…”
“ I choose the second! ” Mu Jiuyue replied promptly.
She couldn’t owe him even more. Otherwise, to get out of debt, her entire life would be spent on working for him.
Hearing her choice, Su Feng'ao moved his thin lips, “The second is to run five times around the villa.”
A wave of despair overwhelmed Mu Jiuyue. She looked down at her chubby body. ‘Five laps will kill me!’
“Uncle Su, is there a third one?”
Neither of the two choices was favorable!
“Yes.” Su Feng'ao uttered only one word.
Heartened by it, Mu Jiuyue ignored the flicker of a playful expression under his brows.
“ Running ten laps!”
Just then, Mu Jiuyue turned and ran, waving her hand. “Five times. We had a deal. You can’t welsh on it, Uncle Su.”
Lightly raising his eyebrows, Su reckoned that he did not mean to order her to run with high heels.
“Keep an eye on her until she finishes it.” After giving the order, Su Feng'ao stood up and headed for the company.
As the car was passing by her, Mu Jiuyue caught a glimpse of Su Feng'ao’s deadpan face.
Stopping her steps, she grimaced behind the car, “Nuisance!” However, she was unaware that it was seen clearly by the man in the car.
Su Feng'ao raised his eyebrows. ‘Surely five laps are not enough.’
After an hour, Mu Jiuyue was exhausted and sat directly at the gate of the villa with high heels in her hand, sweating all over and breathing heavily.
“Miss Mu, there are four more laps.” The maid walked to her and warned ruthlessly.
Mu Jiuyue lost her temper. She threw the high heels. “I won’t run again!”
Owing more money was okay. After all, she didn’t remember how much she owed to him already.
Feeling aggrieved, Mu Jiuyue pouted her lips, like a victim of bullying.
But it proved useless to the maid who conveyed directly the message instructed by Su Feng'ao before he left. “Miss Mu, Mr Su has the word that if you couldn’t finish the running, you can save it to another day on the condition of the doubling of laps.”
“Forget the second choice! I pick the first one!” Mu Jiuyue said louder.
Doubled again! ‘Nothing is he capable of but doubling!’
“The master said you didn’t have a second opportunity for the choice.” With a pause, she continued, “Besides, running laps will be the only consequence of being late in the future.”
Mu Jiuyue leaped from the gate angrily, “What a demon! I won’t move one more step!”
She didn’t want to stay here any longer, leaving the debt to the one that wanted to pay it off.
Dithering over what to do, the maid called Su Feng'ao quickly.
“Tell her this: the door of jail is open, if she insists.” He hung up, sneering.
He certainly believed there were ways to punish her.
Mu Jiuyue rushed into her room, threw her things into the suitcase, closed it and walked away.
But she was stopped the moment she went downstairs.
