Mu Wanqing stared at the slowly taking shape basement, her eyes filled with a terrifying gloom. Lin Xuyang, Bai Shuangjiang, neither of them could escape.

Xiao Li learned about Mu Wanqing's plan from 123, and her heart ached again. The original owner's obsession was too deep and could not be dispelled for a long time.

"Don't worry, I'll protect her. Just wait and see."

★

Xiao Li called Manager Wu and asked her to cooperate with Mu Wanqing unconditionally. Thinking about her conversation with Mu Wanqing just now, she knew what Mu Wanqing would do.

Xiao Li entered Skynet, the place where hackers take orders.

She placed an order; Lin Xuyang had hurt her precious daughter, so she should at least collect some interest.

That very evening, the Lin Group's firewall was breached, and much important data was formatted.

Lin Xuyang and the technical department worked overtime for half a month before the computer was restored to normal.

This time, the Lin family suffered heavy losses.

Xiao Li was having dinner with Mu Wanqing in the living room when she heard the news, and she finally showed a genuine smile.

Xiao Li only stayed outside for half a month before returning home. Mu Wanqing was too restless, and she needed to keep an eye on her.

"Mom, I want to take a break from school and work for Mu's company."

Xiao Li disagreed, saying, "You're still young, how can you take a break from school? Besides, you're not capable enough right now, you can only start from the bottom. Taking a break from school is putting the cart before the horse."

Mu Wanqing suppressed the resentment in her eyes and looked at Xiao Li with a calm expression.

"But I want to get into the company as soon as possible."

Xiao Li shook her head. "Qingqing, you haven't learned any real skills yet, so it will be very hard for you to work at the company now."

What you need most right now is to get into the university you're supposed to go to, study hard, and then join the company after you graduate. That will make things much easier for you.

After thinking it over, Mu Wanqing nodded. She knew her mother was right and she should listen to her.

Xiao Li was also very troubled. How could she appease her adorable little one who had turned evil?

Fortunately, Mu Wanqing really listened to her advice; she simply transferred from the art department to the finance department.

☆

A week later, the bidding began, and Lin Xuyang waited triumphantly for the announcement of the winning company.

"The Zhou Group has successfully won the bid. Congratulations!"

Lin Xuyang's smile froze as he desperately suppressed his anger, trying not to show any sign of it.

Zhou Li personally led the team to the office to sign the contract. Before going in, he glanced in Lin Xuyang's direction with an inscrutable expression.

Lin Xuyang's heart skipped a beat. How could he have made a mistake? Had he been discovered?

He disregarded the fact that he hadn't won the bid and hurried back to the Lin Group to discuss it with his father.

Soon, Lin Xuyang found out what had happened, because Zheng Xiaodong had been detained by the police.

He was also summoned for questioning, and if Zheng Xiaodong confesses, he will face the risk of going to jail.

Large beads of cold sweat broke out on Lin Xuyang's forehead. He immediately contacted his assistant and comforted Zheng Xiaodong's family. In the end, Zheng Xiaodong took all the blame.

"Mr. Lin, Mrs. Zheng is asking for five million."

"Give it to her, transfer it from my overseas account."

Although Lin Xuyang was not arrested, he lost a lot of money. His recent dissolution of his engagement with Mu Wanqing had already caused many projects of the company and the Mu family to be suspended, and now the Lin family was in even more dire straits.

Mu Wanqing felt a little regretful after reading the results sent by Zhou Li, but it was good that Lin Xuyang was in a state of panic for a while.

RK recently released a new perfume with a particularly refreshing scent. I'm sure my mom will love it. She pre-ordered it a while ago and plans to pick it up after school.

As soon as she stepped out of the school gate, Mu Wanqing saw the black Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the entrance, which surprised her.

Why would Zhou Li come here? Seeing him smiling at me, I knew at a glance that he had come to find me.

"Get in the car, I'll take you somewhere."

Mu Wanqing took a step back. "I'm sorry, I have something to do tonight. If it's not important, I'll be leaving now."

Zhou Li raised an eyebrow. "Take care of your business first, then go."

Not wanting to offend him, Mu Wanqing had no choice but to get in the car.

"Please have a safe trip, miss. Welcome to visit us again!"

Zhou Li watched speechlessly as Mu Wanqing carefully put a packaged box into her bag. Was this something important to her?

"This is a gift for my mom. Today is International Women's Day!"

Zhou Li never expected that this seemingly cold and aloof girl would be so considerate to her mother.

He drove quickly, a smile inadvertently appearing on his lips.

Mu Wanqing looked up and saw him, and couldn't help but be amazed; this man was just too good-looking.

However, she had no time to appreciate beauty; her heart was filled only with hatred.

Soon, the car stopped at a private estate filled with tulips.

It's the blooming season, and the evening sunlight shines on the vast expanse of flowers, making it especially beautiful.

"I was discussing business here today, and when I saw the flowers blooming, I thought I'd bring you to see them."

Mu Wanqing smiled. "How did you know I like tulips?"

"If you're willing to listen, you'll know."

Mu Wanqing looked away. She didn't know what Zhou Li meant. Whether he was serious or just playing around, she wasn't interested. All she wanted was revenge.

But this place is really beautiful.

"Thank you for bringing me here, I really like it."

"The private kitchen dishes here are also very famous; you can't find them anywhere else. Why don't we try them together?"

Mu Wanqing glanced at her watch, feeling somewhat troubled. Her mother had promised to wait for her to come home so they could have dinner together.

Zhou Li was very considerate. He suggested, "Let's try some dessert. It won't take long. We can also pack some dishes to take home. My mom and sister really like the food here."

Mu Wanqing agreed.

This time, Zhou Li escorted her downstairs before leaving. Mu Wanqing looked at her mother's curious expression as she waited at the door and smiled shyly.

"It's Zhou Li from the Zhou Group. I went with them last time when we collaborated, and that's how we met."

Mu Wanqing knew that Zhou's family was deliberately giving Mu's family opportunities in these collaborations, which was why she couldn't refuse Zhou Li's request.

Xiao Li took out a haute couture dress from the Yu family. "Do you like it? I ordered it a month ago. As soon as I saw it, I felt that only Qingqing could be worthy of it."

Then she took out a matching sapphire necklace and asked Mu Wanqing to try it on.

"Mom, I also have a gift for you."

Mu Wanqing took out RK perfume, and Xiaoli opened it and tried it. It matched her temperament very well.

"Qingqing has the same excellent taste as her mother. Thank you, baby, I love it."

Seeing that Xiao Li liked it, Mu Wanqing happily went upstairs to try on the clothes.

"Tongzi, keep an eye on Zhou Li. What is he planning? Wanqing is so young, how could he possibly harm her?"

123 laughed so hard he almost fell over. "Hahaha, Master, you really do look a bit like a mother. This angry look, isn't it just like a picky mother-in-law?"
