Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted
/ Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted Chapter 185 – Mu Sheng Is Loaded
Mu Xiao was so infuriated by Mu Sheng that her face was contorted. The moment she heard someone enter the room, she composed herself and frowned slightly.
“Xiao Ziyu?”
Mu Xiao looked shocked. He was Metropolis University's school heartthrob and he always had a cool distant aura. Although she was not interested in Xiao Ziyu, it was a real honor to talk to him, and her vanity was deeply satisfied by the attention.
Moreover, there was a long-time rumor going on in school saying that Xiao Ziyu was somehow related to the Mu family.
Xiao Ziyu glanced at the piano beside Mu Xiao. On his way here, the only people he encountered were Mu Xiao and Mu Sheng.
It was impossible for Mu Sheng to have such mastery over the piano, so it had to be Mu Xiao since she was a well-known talent from the language department.
A look of admiration rose in Xiao Ziyu's eyes. “That song was really good.”
Xiao Ziyu was from the Xiao family, so he had seen a lot ever since young. Now that he was praising Mu Xiao for her excellent piano skills, he naturally meant it.
Mu Xiao was stunned. She glanced at the piano before looking at Xiao Ziyu. “Did you see Mu Sheng walking out of the class earlier?”
The moment she talked about Mu Sheng, Xiao Ziyu looked annoyed. “No wonder you didn't finish playing. She must have interrupted you, right?”
She was such bad luck.
Mu Xiao was caught by surprise when she saw the look of disdain in his eyes. Her eyes glinted as she lowered them before raising her head shyly.
“Thanks.”
Xiao Ziyu took a seat. “It was genuinely wonderful. Do you think you can finish playing the second half of this song?”
He really wanted to hear the rest of the song.
Mu Xiao nodded her head. “Sure.”
Mu Xiao walked up in front of the piano and placed her hands on the keyboard. “Ow.” She suddenly held her right wrist.
“What's wrong?” Xiao Ziyu walked up to check on her.
“Nothing.” Mu Xiao's right hand trembled as she placed it on the keyboard. “My tendonitis is acting up. I will go to the hospital for a checkup after finishing the song.”
Xiao Ziyu strode forward and looked worried. “It's fine. Why don't you go get it checked out first? Since we are studying at the same university, you can play for me anytime. It's no big deal.”
“Thanks a lot.” Mu Xiao held her wrist as she stood up with a pitiful look on her face. “In that case, I will go to the hospital now.”
“Let me walk you out.” Since Mu Xiao was injured, Xiao Ziyu volunteered to carry her bag and walk her out of campus.
Mu Xiao acted shy on her way out.
Despite her love for Li Ming, she enjoyed the envy and attention she got from everyone.
After all, he was the cold and lofty school heartthrob, Xiao Ziyu. Also, he hailed from the legendary Xiao family. He was always known to be unapproachable, but here he was helping to carry her bag.
Every single girl who passed wished they were Mu Xiao.
“We're here. Thank you.” Mu Xiao smiled as she bade farewell to Xiao Ziyu when they finally arrived at the school gate.
“Don't worry about it.” Xiao Ziyu handed her the bag. “I hope I can hear the rest of the song in the future.”
“Sure thing.” Mu Xiao smiled gently.
Meanwhile, a car pulled over gradually. Mu Xiao glanced at Xiao Ziyu before getting into the car behind her.
The moment Mu Xiao got into the car, she detected something amiss.
“Ming, what brings you here?” Mu Xiao raised her head and noticed Li Ming looking at her angrily.
“Who was that guy?” Li Ming sounded annoyed.
“Just a schoolmate. He helped me with my bag since my wrist did not feel good.” Mu Xiao remained composed. “Ming, are you jealous?”
“Humph.” Li Ming did not know if this was considered jealousy, but no one else was allowed to touch his woman.
“Don't worry, Ming. I only care about you.” Mu Xiao held Li Ming's arm. “Don't you know I love you?”
Li Ming's bad mood eased up slightly. Just as he was about to lower his head and say something to Mu Xiao, he saw a familiar silhouette walking outside from the corner of his eye.
He did not use to find Mu Sheng special in the past.
For some reason, Mu Sheng stood out in the crowd. Even though all he could see was her profile, he could spot her right away.
“Ming?” Mu Xiao looked in the same direction as Li Ming before her heart instantly constricted. “What are you looking at?”
Mu Xiao's voice sounded anxious and sharp. Li Ming instantly composed himself and lowered his head to comfort Mu Xiao. “Nothing.”
“Do you want to see your dear childhood sweetheart, Mu Sheng?” Mu Xiao was on the brink of tears. “I don't want to go to the hospital anymore. I don't care how my condition is since you don't love me.”
Li Ming went quiet. He quickly coaxed her, “What are you saying? I love only you. Who cares about Mu Sheng? I didn't see her at all. Enough. Stop crying already. If you keep crying, you won't be pretty anymore.”
After Li Ming kept promising he did not like Mu Sheng, Mu Xiao finally stopped crying. She lay in his arms as she looked out the window and noticed that Mu Sheng was nowhere to be seen.
Mu Xiao felt annoyed. She could not let anyone know that Mu Sheng could play the piano. Also, she could not let Master Ouyang accept Mu Sheng as his disciple.
Meanwhile, at Metropolis University, the teachers were anxiously going through the surveillance footage.
“Have you found it yet? Master Ouyang said it happened around 9:30 am.”
“Found it!”
A teacher replayed some footage and stopped at the point where Ouyang He was about to enter the art department. A total of three people had entered the classroom.
Mu Sheng went in first, followed by Mu Xiao, and finally Xiao Ziyu.
“Xiao Ziyu is definitely not the one. By the time he entered the classroom, Master Ouyang had already left. That leaves Mu Xiao and Mu Sheng. It is quite a coincidence that both of them have such a rare family name.”
“Then it has to be Mu Xiao. She recently performed piano at this school anniversary celebration. It was so well received that even the reporters interviewed her about it.”
“That's right! I will tell Master Ouyang about it right away. The person he is looking for must be Mu Xiao.”
After the teachers finally found the person Ouyang He was looking for, they were thrilled. Mu Xiao was a very lucky girl to gain the attention of such a piano master.
Ouyang He even tried to find out who she was after hearing her play the piano. Perhaps he might even accept her as his disciple. In that case, it would be a real honor for Metropolis University.
Mu Sheng had walked some distance when she noticed a car shop.
Mu Sheng took out her phone and checked her bank balance. Now that she had received all the income from Cat Live, her account balance was pretty decent.
In her past life, she had a personal chauffeur. Since it was impossible for her to have one now, she had to buy her own car and drive herself around.
The car shop did not have much business, so all the employees were hiding inside playing card games when they suddenly saw a gorgeous woman come in.
Everyone quickly tossed aside the cards and beamed at Mu Sheng in unison. “Hi. What kind of car are you looking for?”
Mu Sheng was very straightforward when it came to shopping. She pointed at a black off-road vehicle nearby and asked, “How much?”
“Wow. You have such a keen eye. This car is…”
Mu Sheng interrupted him, “How much is it?”
The sales representative gestured a number to her. “This is the latest model, so it costs $ 500, 000. Its engine is imported and is the latest in technology. The fuel consumption is…”
Mu Sheng contemplated briefly and said, “I'll take it.”
“Okay!” The sales representative did not expect this stunning woman would be so decisive. He instantly felt good about finally having some business, so he pointed at another car nearby. “Do you need anything else? Do you need any more cars in your family?”
Mu Sheng wanted to say no when she recalled all the ridicule Li Hanchen got from the butler the other day and how a rich man's son called Li Hanchen's car a piece of trash.
Mu Sheng glanced at the low-profile black car nearby. “I will take that one as well.”
“Sure thing!” The sales representative was so happy that he felt Mu Sheng was a goddess.
If every single client was as generous as this gorgeous young woman, none of them would have to play card games in broad daylight at the shop!
All the sales representatives helped to serve Mu Sheng and quickly took care of all the paperwork before walking her out of the shop happily.
Li Hanchen finished working and came home in the evening when the sky had started to turn dark.
He was resting in the living room when he heard a commotion in the yard.
He did not move from the couch. Instead, Auntie Lin went out to check.
Before long, Auntie Lin came back and said, “Young Master, can you come out for a look? Someone sent two cars over and said we ordered them.”
Li Hanchen put down the newspaper and headed out and saw two cars parked in the yard.
One of them was an ordinary off-road vehicle while the other one was a Mercedes Benz GLS.
“Young Master, did you buy the cars?” asked Auntie Lin curiously. She recalled Li Hanchen did not like cars like this when they were abroad.
“Nope.”
“Don't tell me they sent it to the wrong address?” Auntie Lin got anxious. “Let me run after them. Their customer is probably anxiously waiting for the cars.”
Before Auntie Lin ran out, Mu Sheng came downstairs. “I bought them.”
Li Hanchen turned. “Did you buy them?”
Mu Sheng nodded. “Uh huh. I made some money doing live telecasts. Since I still need to go out for work, I got a car.”
Li Hanchen's eyes gleamed. “I see. You can use one for daily use and the other one for work.”
“Nope.” Mu Sheng turned around and pointed at the black Mercedes-Benz GLS. “That car is for you.”
Li Hanchen looked bewildered and looked at Mu Sheng fixedly. “What do you mean?”
“Nothing in particular.” Mu Sheng felt uneasy when he kept looking at her. “Since I was out getting a car, I got you one as well. You can treat it as my rent. After all, I don't pay you for staying here.”
Li Hanchen looked at her even more deeply. “Did you happen to get me a car as well?”
Mu Sheng's car was $500,000 at best and the Mercedes Benz GLS was double the price. How could anyone buy it on impulse?
Mu Sheng nodded. “Uh huh. I thought you could use it for work. From now on, you can stop driving your old car.”
Although Mu Sheng was not a materialistic person, she found it jarring to the ear when people complained about Li Hanchen's car.
