Ah Qi's loyalty to Situ Qing'er surpassed that of a typical bodyguard to his boss; he couldn't tolerate anyone who disrespected Situ Qing'er.

No one will do.

Hearing Ah Qi's question, Situ Qing'er's smile vanished instantly: "Ah Qi, aren't you talking a little too much today?"

Ah Qi cried out in alarm, "I'm sorry, Miss, I was wrong!"

"Ding~"

As soon as Ah Qi finished speaking, an elevator notification sounded again. Situ Qing'er's expression changed instantly, and she looked at Ah Qi with a smile: "It's okay, Ah Qi. It's enough that you know you were wrong. Just be more careful in the future."

She knew that everyone in the hall was watching her. She was going to be the president's wife, so she had to make a good impression on the company employees.

The first time you meet someone is the best opportunity to make a good impression.

"Thank you, Miss." Blinded by some emotion, Ah Qi actually believed that Situ Qing'er had forgiven him.

Situ Qing'er's plan was a great success today. From the moment she left the elevator until she left the Su Group building, everyone's eyes were on her. Rumors, which seemed to have come from nowhere, quickly spread to the ears of everyone in the company.

"Does anyone know who that young lady was? She looked so elegant, she must be the daughter of some wealthy tycoon, right?"

"This is the first time I've met her. But I also feel that she must be the young lady of some conglomerate. She's so gentle!"

"Ahem~ I have a very reliable inside scoop. Those who want to hear it, hurry up and gather around. I'll only say it once, so don't blame me if you miss it. As far as I know, the woman who just left is the daughter of a well-known foreign company. Her father should know our former chairman. I heard from the former chairman's assistant before that the former chairman intended to arrange a marriage between this young lady and our CEO Su..."

"Wow, does that mean the old chairman is haunting us from the afterlife?"

"Our CEO is truly outstanding; so many people are eager to work for him. Our company is going to be very lively this time."

...

7 PM.

After being busy for several days in a row, Su Mu finally had time to go home for dinner tonight, but unexpectedly, he didn't see Mo Jingjing at the table.

"Where is Miss Mo? Has no one gone up to call her down for dinner?" Su Mu frowned, looking at the butler with dissatisfaction.

The butler quickly explained, "Young Master, please don't misunderstand. I went upstairs to call Miss Mo before you came back, but Miss Mo said she was feeling a bit tired lately and didn't want to come downstairs, so she asked the servants to bring the food upstairs."

"Give it to me, I'll deliver it."

He knew that Mo Jingjing had been wronged during this period, but as long as they could get through this, he would definitely make more time to spend with her like before.

Second floor.

The large bedroom was pitch black. Mo Jingjing was curled up on the bed, her hands tightly hugging her legs. Her wide eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, and her beautiful face was also filled with unease.

Knock knock~

A knock came at the door, which startled her.

"Jingjing, are you resting? I'm Su Mu, I've come to bring you dinner. May I come in now?" Su Mu asked, his voice as gentle as ever.

Hearing this, Mo Jingjing was filled with unpleasant images. The nightmares she had been having these past few days, the scenes in her dreams, all seemed to be edited into a short film and played out in front of her.

Click~

Just then, the sound of a door opening startled her, making her tremble.

A beam of bright light shone through the crack in the door, causing her intense unease: "No, don't come in, please don't come in!"

Su Mu frowned, surprised and worried. He turned on the light and quickened his pace to get to Mo Jingjing's side as soon as possible: "Jingjing, what's wrong? What happened? Tell me, is something wrong with you?"

"What's that smell on you? Perfume? Whose perfume is it? Song Zhao? Or that Situ Qing'er? Or is it someone else besides them?" Smelling the scent on Su Mu, Mo Jingjing's tense nerves snapped, and she became incredibly sensitive, jumping out of bed and glaring at Su Mu, demanding an explanation.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu froze, staring at Mo Jingjing in disbelief: "Jingjing, what... what do you mean by that? How do you know Situ Qing'er? Did you come to the company to see me, or..."

Follow-up investigation?

The word had barely popped into Su Mu's mind when he shook his head violently and banished it.

No, impossible. The Mo Jingjing he knew wouldn't do such a thing.

The next second, however, he saw a different Mo Jingjing.

"What? Feeling guilty? Admitting that everything I said is true, right? Su Mu, you really disappoint me. It turns out all men are the same. You're like this, and Mo Zhu is like this too. Tell me, why did you lie to me? Why?" In Mo Jingjing's eyes, Su Mu's question was an admission, an admission of guilt.

In a fit of rage, Mo Jingjing knocked over the food Su Mu had brought her and approached him step by step. Her incredible strength was so great that even Su Mu could hardly resist her. High-quality furniture became fragile in her hands, like a child's toy.

Emotions gradually overwhelmed Mo Jingjing's reason, causing her to lose her judgment. The hand that Su Mu had once cherished so much was now gripping his neck: "Speak! Speak! Why did you lie to me? You should know that the thing I hate most in this life is being lied to!"

"Cough cough..." Su Mu felt like he was about to suffocate, but he still couldn't bear to hurt Mo Jingjing in the slightest: "Jingjing, wake up... Jingjing, you... look at me, I'm Su Mu, please wake up, okay? I'm not lying to you, I really am not lying to you, you have to believe me..."

“Jingjing…”

With so many people around, and even though Mo Jingjing had been recuperating here, only the housekeeper knew her actual condition. Out of concern for Mo Jingjing's safety, Su Mu was unwilling to disturb the servants downstairs.

He just kept calling Mo Jingjing's name, trying to wake her up.

Just when he thought he was about to be strangled to death by Mo Jingjing, the hand suddenly let go. Mo Jingjing, who was as strong as an ox a second ago, fell heavily to the ground and fainted.

The butler, who rushed over upon hearing the commotion, witnessed the terrifying scene and shuddered in shock: "My God! Miss Mo! Young Master, what... what happened? What's wrong with Miss Mo? What just occurred?"

Mo Jingjing was unconscious, and Su Mu was in a disheveled state, coughing from time to time. The once peaceful bedroom was now a mess, as if it had just been through a major battle.

Out of concern, Su Mu disregarded his own well-being and quickly scooped Mo Jingjing into his arms, heading towards the clean guest room next door. He then instructed the housekeeper, "Call the family doctor right away, quick!"
