Mu Qing, hounded by marriage pressure to the point of not daring to return home, rented her elder brother's classmate, Ye Junbo, to pretend to be her husband, all for the sake of a peaceful lif...
Li Ke seemed to be lost in thought.
"Would you like to go for a walk?"
Chu Mu asked her considerately.
"Go out for a walk and relax, maybe you'll feel better."
Li Ke was silent for a moment, then said, "I'd better go home and get some sleep. My head still hurts."
"Then I'll take you back to rest. Don't overthink it. Just follow your heart. No matter what happens in the future, at least don't let yourself regret it."
Li Ke nodded and said, "Brother Mu, go ahead and do your work. I'll take a taxi back by myself."
She also wants to go to the beauty salon.
Chu Mu insisted on taking her home. Li Ke had no choice but to get in the car. After he started driving, she said, "Brother Mu, take me to the beauty salon first."
"That's fine. The beauty salon is doing great business and the manager is very nice. I'll go there often to help you."
The main reason is that almost all of the customers of the beauty salon were introduced by Mu Qing, Yang Xi and others, and they are wealthy wives.
Because of this relationship, the store manager dared not have any other thoughts.
She knew that if she betrayed Li Ke or cheated Li Ke, she would have no chance of surviving in City A. Any move by those wealthy wives could make it impossible for the store manager to survive in City A.
Although Li Ke seems to have lost the opportunity to marry into the Jun family.
With Mu Qing as her backer, no one dared to look down on Li Ke, let alone touch Li Ke.
Chu Mu sent Li Ke to the beauty salon.
Li Ke stayed in the beauty salon for a while before letting Chu Mu take her back to her rented apartment.
Chu Mu insisted on sending her upstairs, and only left after seeing her enter the house.
Who knew that Chu Mu would meet Jun Li as soon as he went downstairs.
Jun Li knew the address of Li Ke's rental house, but Li Ke had avoided him in the past, so he couldn't find Li Ke when he went to the rental house.
Seeing Chu Mu appear here, you can guess with your toes what Chu Mu is here for.
Jun Li's face suddenly turned dark.
"Third Young Master Jun."
Chu Mu took the initiative to greet him.
Seeing Jun Lijun's gloomy face and his eyes as cold as a knife, he knew that Jun Li was jealous.
"Why is the Third Young Master here?"
Li Ke was still working in the factory not long ago.
He thought Jun Li would go to the factory to find Li Ke.
Jun Li asked coldly, "Why is Mr. Chu here?"
Li Ke sent him home to catch up on his sleep, but after returning home, he couldn't sleep again, so he went back to the cardboard factory. As a result, the security guard said that Mr. Li had gone out.
He guessed that Li Ke had returned to her rental house, so he went directly to Li Ke's rental house to find her, and then met Chu Mu who had just come downstairs.
"Xiao Ke had a headache, so I sent her back to rest. I was worried about her being alone, so I took her upstairs. Does the Third Young Master have anything else to ask?"
Jun Li frowned and said nothing.
Chu Mu continued, "I heard from Xiao Ke that the Third Young Master also has a headache. Why doesn't he rest at home?"
"My business has nothing to do with you. Don't worry about it."
This guy is so sour.
Chu Mu smiled and said, "Xiao Ke is my sister. Although she and I are not related by blood, I treat her as my own sister. Doesn't the Third Young Master like my sister? In that case, it has something to do with me."
"If the Third Young Master is in poor health and gets sick, I will not agree to my sister marrying a man with poor health."
Jun Li: “…”
Chu Mu's father married Li Ke's mother, so Chu Mu is nominally Li Ke's brother.
It is equivalent to his future brother-in-law.
Jun Li's expression also softened a lot.
He didn't look at Chu Mu well because he was worried that Chu Mu would have improper thoughts about Li Ke. Now after hearing what Chu Mu said, he was sure that Chu Mu really treated Li Ke as his sister.
How could Junli still show displeasure to his future brother-in-law?
"My head doesn't hurt as much anymore."
Jun Li lied.
Chu Mu did not expose his lie and said to him, "Third Young Master, I'm busy. I'll leave first. Go upstairs and accompany Xiao Ke. Don't force her anymore. Let her think about it herself. She has never let go of you."
Jun Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
He knew that Chu Mu and Li Ke had close contacts, and Li Ke would most likely confide his worries to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu said that Li Ke had never let go of him, and it was absolutely true!
