After breakfast, Mu Lan went to the study. She had to study about Mu Corporation. Before she became the head of the Mu Household, she never had interest in the business where Mu Liang was. But now, she had to study for the sake of the family.
Little did she know that Mu Liang would follow her right after the breakfast. When he arrived, her class had already began.
"First young master, good morning." A woman greeted him with a smiling face.
The one who was teaching Mu Lan about business was this Italian lady and everyone called her Martha. She had a gorgeous body which any man would desire. However, she desired only one man who never looked at her and chose a fiancée and now she had to teach the fiancée about business. How unlucky!
"Hmm." Mu Liang didn't even glance at him and replied half-heartedly. His eyes were on Mu Lan who was sitting on her chair like a lady boss. She deserved this title. "Is you headache gone?" He was still worried about her headache. He didn't want her to be in pain anymore.
Mu Lan frowned a little as she was disturb. She liked to study and also she would be annoyed after being disturbed.
Seeing Mu Liang treating his fiancée with such tenderness, Martha was bleeding inside. On the other hand, seeing Mu Lan giving him cold shoulder, her blood began to boil. "It is very unlady like of you Ms. Lin not to greet the first young master." She couldn't help but criticize.
Mu Lan's frown deeper. She didn't like others to interfere her personal relationship with Mu Liang. Also it was Mu Liang's fault that she was criticized. So she glared at Mu Liang.
Mu Liang felt bad as he was the one she got mad. He didn't like the way the teacher talked about their relationship. So in return, he gave her a deadly glare to shut her up.
Martha trembled under his gaze. She opened her mouth to speak. "I-I was only trying to make Ms. Lan a proper lady." I was doing it for you... but the last sentence didn't come out of her mouth.
Mu Liang simply ignored him. He didn't like other women from the very beginning. He talked to Mu Lan softly, "Why are you alone? You should at least keep two maids with you."
Mu Lan wanted to choke. 'Is he serious? Right now, I'm studying. What good will happen to stay close to a maid? I can call them anytime using call bells.'
The next thing what Mu Liang said caught the both ladies off guard. "If the teachers and the trainers bully you, just punish them. Don't hold back."
"First young master!" Martha exclaimed in disbelief. She heard about Mu Liang pampering his fiancée but she didn't know that it was in that degree. She underestimated this foxy woman.
Mu Lan kept her head buried in the pile of books. She had a hard time looking at her teacher.
Mu Liang came forward and inquired what she was reading so attentively that she was completely ignoring him. He took the book while saying, "What are you reading? Let me see."
Mu Lan let out a sigh. 'What is wrong with him?'
Reading the title and the first three lines, Mu Liang frowned. "What rubbish is this? Is this supposed to be a book? I'm going to ban the writer." He gazed at Mu Lan and said, "Don't read this book. It is full of garbage."
Then he glared at Martha. "I told Noel to prepare the best teacher for Xiao Lan. I didn't expect that his taste was so low." He immediate called for Noel.
Noel came before a minute had passed. He greeted them politely.
"Is this sort of books you arranged for Madam Mu?" Mu Liang asked him sternly.
Noel carefully glanced at the book in the hand of merciless Mu Liang and was stunned. 'How come this low rated book is here? I bought a whole set of first class book for Madam Mu.' He gazed at Mu Liang and truthfully answered, "First young master, I have no recollection of me buying this book. I ordered first rated books for Madam Mu. I have never seen this book before today."
"Then who is in charge of these rubbish?" Mu Liang asked.
"The teachers." Noel answered politely.
"That's a lie!" Martha saw that the situation was dire. She screamed for defense. "This books were here from the very beginning. That's why I was teaching Ms. Lan from this book."
Noel seemed annoyed. He said, "Ms. Martha, please think before you talk. Even the maids of this household can tell the differences between good rating and bad rating books. I bought the books and handed over to the each teacher. If the books changed somehow, then it was your own fault. Was it not?"
"How dare you-" Martha looked vicious. Her beautiful face changed.
"Excuse me. I know which books were bought and which weren't. I read every paper of this household." Mu Lan who was silent for a long time spoke. "I signed the papers containing the names and references of the books which Noel bought. He didn't lie. The names of the books on that list and the books I'm reading are completely different." Her eyes were sharp. She noticed them before and asked one of the trainers about it, but the trainer said that the books the teachers recommended were the good ones. Now it seemed completely different from what she heard.
Did all the teachers and trainers conspired together against her?
Martha shuddered under her gaze. "You are lying."
Mu Lan's eyes narrowed. She threatened as she said, "If you don't explain about the changes of books in five minutes, you have to stop being a teacher Ms. Martha. I'm afraid that you don't have much time left for it."
Martha didn't belief her. "You are lying."
Mu Lan was looking at the clock. "Four minutes fifty seconds."
Martha wanted to curse her. "You-"
Mu Lan didn't show her any mercy. "Four minutes and forty five minutes."
