Chapter 54: The Video
Mu Sheng had a good rest after taking the medicine last night. However, Li Hanchen was unable to sleep well. The moment it was daybreak, Li Hanchen woke up.
Auntie Lin was preparing breakfast in the kitchen when she saw Li Hanchen coming downstairs, so she greeted, “Young Master, you woke up really early today.”
Li Hanchen acknowledged Auntie Lin as he walked up to see the ingredients she was preparing. “Why don’t you make some millet porridge today?”
“Sure.” Auntie Lin nodded.
After Li Hanchen left the kitchen, Auntie Lin muttered quizzically to herself, “Why the sudden change in food preference?”
Li Hanchen did not like eating soup or fluid. In the past, he did not like porridge. However, he strangely requested for her to prepare it today.
Mu Sheng felt hungry when she came downstairs and smelled the faint scent of porridge in the air.
Li Hanchen sat on the couch reading the paper. He looked up at Mu Sheng and noticed there was color on her face, so she had probably recovered.
“Feeling better?” asked Li Hanchen.
“Uh huh.” Mu Sheng nodded. She simply had a stomachache from eating cold candied hawthorn, so all she needed was a good night’s rest.
Auntie Lin happened to walk out of the kitchen and overheard their conversation. “Young Madam, are you sick?”
“I had a stomachache last night, but I’m okay now,” said Mu Sheng as she walked up to the dining table.
“A stomachache?” Auntie Lin opened her eyes wide. “No wonder Young Master…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Li Hanchen raised his head from the newspaper to glance at her, warning her to stop, so Auntie Lin hurriedly swallowed her words.
“Yes?” asked Mu Sheng when she noticed Auntie Lin stopped mid-sentence.
“Nothing.” Auntie Lin waved her hand and chuckled. “What I meant was, I happened to have made millet porridge this morning. Isn’t it such a coincidence? If you eat more porridge, it will help with your stomach trouble.”
Auntie Lin glanced at Li Hanchen as she spoke. She could not help feeling anxious when she spotted the nonchalant look on Li Hanchen’s face.
Sigh! Li Hanchen was so worried about Mu Sheng. Why would he not tell her about it?
The sweet scent of millet porridge wafted in the villa. After Mu Sheng ate some warm millet porridge along with Auntie Lin’s signature small steamed buns, a look of satisfaction rose on her face.
Even though Li Hanchen was not a fan of soupy food, he could not resist trying a spoonful of millet porridge when he saw the look of satisfaction on Mu Sheng’s face.
The porridge tasted good.
There was a warm atmosphere in the villa, and Mu Sheng had yet to realize a scandal about her had broken out online and spread throughout the online community.
A paid social media account had released a video starring none other than Mu Sheng.
@Insider: [A lot of people have been talking about Mu Sheng lately. Many people thought she looked cool skiing. Do you feel the same way now that you have seen this video?]
The post came accompanied by a video. Inside the video, Mu Sheng was injecting something into her arm with a syringe. Halfway through, the people in the video received a tip-off, so Mu Sheng attempted to run off with them immediately.
However, the police quickly entered the place and searched the room.
At the end of the video, a news article about the anti-drug police catching people taking drugs at some bar was posted. No details of the arrested parties were provided, but it alluded that some of them were celebrities.
The video was pointing fingers at Mu Sheng. The moment everyone read the post, they promptly suspected Mu Sheng of taking drugs!
