Chapter 18 Slapping Mu Yunzhou

"I feel that you are a little different from the person you used to be."

The moment Mu Yunzhou uttered those words, Chao Xian paused only slightly.

Then he smiled.

Chao Xian didn't intend to hide it.

From the time he transmigrated until now, Chao Xian has been able to portray the original owner of the body with remarkable depth and realism.

But once the decision is made to act, it will be accompanied by a long period of leisure.

This means that Chao Xian will be trapped under a human skin mask for a long time.

Unable to gain freedom.

There's nothing we can do to change anything.

A bird that can never fly out of a single tree, even if it can see that this is a completely new world, still hides itself under the leaves of the tree, concealing its true thoughts.

Time and time again, I gave up on my original self.

Go with the flow and become who you are in the eyes of others.

"Everyone has secrets, and besides, I'm afraid you don't think we're close enough to share our secrets. Chao Xian, just do what you're supposed to do, and you'll always be the master of the Mu family."

Mu Yunzhou spoke calmly, as if he were making a promise to Chao Xian.

"Don't do things you don't want to do, and don't bother communicating with others if you don't want to. The Mu family will give you confidence."

Chao Xian was already thinking about how he should answer if Mu Yunzhou dug deeper.

But Mu Yunzhou told him not to worry.

It seemed that he had calmed down all his worries and his heart had found peace.

Chao Xian doesn't believe in human nature; in the entertainment industry, human nature is the most unreliable thing.

But looking into Mu Yunzhou's calm eyes, Chao Xian couldn't say anything else for a moment.

Even if I could say it myself.

How should I put it?

Transmigrating into a book?

Wouldn't they think I'm mentally ill?

Chao Xian nodded silently.

"What happened today will not happen again, believe me."

Chao Xian was a little confused by Mu Yunzhou's tone. He nodded obediently and watched Mu Yunzhou leave.

Chao Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on a chair on the terrace.

Chao Xian blinked.

Thinking of what Mu Yunzhou had just said.

Trust him?

Chao Xian thought of Mu Yunzhou's serious expression just now and stared at the dessert plate in front of her.

Mu Yunzhou is really good-looking. If he entered the entertainment industry, I wonder how many rich women would fall for him.

Who knows, just by standing there, he might become even more famous than his pre-transmigration self.

Chao Xian thought to himself.

The fork in his hand landed haphazardly on the dessert.

The sweet jam overflowed from the dessert.

Chao Xian glanced at it, then put down his fork.

He couldn't understand what Mu Yunzhou was trying to do.

Is it just that he wants Chao Xian to believe him?

What do you believe in him about?

Will Chao Xian be prevented from getting involved in finance afterward?

Chao Xian took a glass of low-alcohol fruit wine from the bar, returned to the terrace, looked at the night view outside, and snorted coldly.

Mu Yunzhou did it on purpose.

It corrupts his moral character!

Chao Xian finished the fruit wine in one gulp, leaned against the railing of the terrace, and his gaze was involuntarily drawn to Mu Yunzhou, who was surrounded by everyone at the center of the banquet.

Mu Yunzhou wore a suit, and his expression remained indifferent no matter who he was facing.

It was as if no one could stir his emotions.

Even though he was surrounded by many people who wanted to get to know Mu Yunzhou, he remained calm and composed, maintaining the upper hand amidst the eager crowd.

He's definitely a domineering CEO.

After seeing this, Chao Xian only left a four-word comment.

I don't know how long I watched it.

Chao Xian didn't even realize when another person had appeared in front of him.

"You're Mu Ge's new husband?"

Chao Xian looked up and saw a woman in a white suit with long, wavy hair. She looked at him with a hint of disdain, as if Chao Xian was deliberately sticking to Mu Yunzhou.

"Is there something you need?" Chao Xian's mind was heavy, but he still maintained his politeness and asked softly, resting his head on his hand and looking nonchalant.

In the woman's eyes, it seemed as if Chao Xian didn't take her seriously.

The woman smirked: "How much money do you want? Just ask for a divorce, and I'll give it to you."

Upon hearing this, Chao Xian simply leaned back.

Her face was slightly flushed, though she didn't show it after drinking, her mind was just slower than usual.

He was a lightweight before he even entered the book.

Unexpectedly, after transmigrating into the book, the original owner drank outside every day and is now still a lightweight.

I don't understand.

Chao Xian's mind was filled with a barrage of complaints about his body's inability to handle even one cup of alcohol.

Completely ignoring the woman who was making the demands.

"Chao Xian, don't think I don't know you and Brother Mu signed a prenuptial agreement. If I wanted to, I could even make the agreement public and let everyone see that you're just someone who got ahead by using your body..." Before the woman could finish speaking, Chao Xian interrupted her.

He's just a self-righteous person; no one else can interfere in the matter between him and Mu Yunzhou.

“Miss, you haven’t read the prenuptial agreement, have you? Why don’t you go ask Yunzhou what’s written in the prenuptial agreement? But I can only tell you that after you expose this, the other master of the Mu family will only be me.” Chao Xian said this with a profound meaning.

With a smile playing on his lips, he leaned back in his chair, finding a comfortable position to look down at the woman towering above him.

Mu Yunzhou would never show a prenuptial agreement to anyone.

No one will ever know what was written in their prenuptial agreement.

Therefore, even if Chao Xian says whatever he wants, he will not be refuted.

Even if the person in front of you knows about the existence of a prenuptial agreement, they couldn't possibly know its contents.

After all, the prenuptial agreement was drafted by Mu Yunzhou himself.

Only Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou knew this.

"Tell me... what would Yunzhou do if I told him you threatened me? You call him Brother Mu, so you must be very close, right? It's just a pity that in the end I ended up sitting next to him."

Chao Xian watched as the woman's expression gradually turned ugly, and then smiled at her.

With a push of his hand, he stood up.

I subconsciously straightened my suit and left the terrace.

If the person in front of them really had some kind of close relationship with Mu Yunzhou, the Mu family wouldn't be so afraid to say anything about Mu Yunzhou marrying a man, and wouldn't even have to go to the temple to fulfill their vows.

It's nothing more than sowing discord.

Even though Chao Xian was drunk, he was perfectly clear-headed.

Too many people are watching this spot next to Mu Yunzhou.

Many people are not optimistic about Mu Ziyan as the heir, and many people want the Mu family's big cake.

Mu Ziyan is not Mu Yunzhou's biological son, so as long as they become Mu Yunzhou's people and have Mu Yunzhou's children.

Ultimately, the Mu family will fall into their hands.

But these people misunderstood.

Even if Mu Ziyan isn't their biological son.

No one can change the decision Mu Yunzhou wants to make.

If Mu Yunzhou wants to hand over the Mu family to someone, even the rest of the Mu family can't resist.

That's why the practice of "chaoxian" (朝闲, meaning leisurely or idle) came about.

This was to prevent others from having the idea of ​​becoming another master of the Mu family.

But human nature is despicable.

Chao Xian felt that all these things were just trivial matters.

The banquet didn't seem very interesting at first.

Just like before she transmigrated into the book, people's hearts are unpredictable, and everyone is blinded by self-interest for the sake of gain.

Chao sat idly on the sofa, looking completely normal.

He showed no signs of being drunk.

Mu Yunzhou was the first to notice something was wrong.

After glancing at Chao Xian several times, I noticed that he was just sitting there, occasionally drinking some fruit wine, and not eating desserts or cakes.

On several occasions, he even took out his phone to send something.

But in the end, I put it back in my pocket.

The people around Mu Yunzhou were still talking about their plans for the next project.

Mu Yunzhou frowned slightly and gestured with his chin toward the man.

"Excuse me, I must go first."

After finishing his speech, Mu Yunzhou ignored the dissatisfaction of others and left the crowd.

Mu Yunzhou quickly approached Chao Xian, squatted down, and looked at Chao Xian's eyes, which were staring motionlessly at the sofa. He didn't understand what Chao Xian was looking at.

He called out to Chaoxian softly twice.

Chao Xian simply responded with "uh-huh".

But he acted like a puppet, responding to whatever Mu Yunzhou said.

Later on, they even became impatient and stopped saying "um" altogether.

"Chao Xian, are you drunk?" A thought suddenly flashed through Mu Yunzhou's mind, and then he saw Chao Xian sitting up straight as if facing a formidable enemy.

She glared at Mu Yunzhou with wide eyes: "Who's drunk? I'm not drunk! Don't talk nonsense! I didn't drink any alcohol!"

He denied it three times in a row.

Mu Yunzhou's gaze fell on the glass of wine that Chao Xian was clutching tightly.

Oh……

The sentence you should least believe from a man: "I really didn't drink."

You can't trust what good-looking men say.

Mu Yunzhou recalled that his aunt had said that Chao Xian went out drinking every day.

He knows how to drink alcohol, but he only drank a little fruit wine and got this drunk.

People like that still go to bars to fool around.

You never know, you might take a sip of fruit wine at the door, turn around and collapse on the sofa when you get home.

The more Mu Yunzhou thought about it, the funnier it became.

He wanted to help Chao Xian up, but unexpectedly, Chao Xian subconsciously slapped Mu Yunzhou across the face.

It wasn't just Mu Yunzhou who was stunned.

Even those watching this side were stunned.

no?

Mu Yunzhou was slapped in the face.

You got slapped?

Is Mu Yunzhou's status at home really that low?

Chao Xian rubbed his sore palm, looking even more aggrieved than Mu Yunzhou, the one who was beaten.

"It hurts." Chao Xian stared at his slightly red palm, his gray-blue eyes filled with grievance.

He slapped someone else, and then felt wronged himself.

Mu Yunzhou's face was red from the slap, and Chao Xian's fingerprints were still on it.

To everyone's surprise, Mu Yunzhou did not get angry.

Instead, he gently coaxed Chao Xian in a low voice.

Mu Yunzhou coaxed Chao Xian until he was dizzy, then carried him away.

Mu Qianyu watched the whole thing, a smile playing on her lips.

Faced with the probing of others.

Mu Qianyu spoke softly, patiently persuading those around her.

"Ever since Chaochao came to the Mu family, everyone in the Mu family has been very fond of her and wanted to throw a big party. However, Yunzhou liked her very much and did not want Chaochao to be seen by others. If I hadn't coaxed Chaochao to attend the banquet this time, Yunzhou probably wouldn't have attended at all."

"Vice President Mu, please don't forget to send us invitations when you hold your wedding."

"Yes, Vice President Mu. As the head of the Mu family, President Mu will definitely hold a wedding sometime. I wonder if we will be fortunate enough to attend."

Those around her naturally understood what Mu Qianyu meant.

It's simply that the Mu family is very satisfied with the current state of the court.

Don't be so blind as to approach Chao Xian.

Chao Xian dared to fight even Mu Yunzhou, so what about the others?

However, Mu Yunzhou was probably having a blast.

He left early, leaving the mess behind, and then picked up a child who only touched him lightly.

At first, the Mu family thought that Mu Yunzhou had deliberately found a scapegoat, but after today, probably no one would think that Mu Yunzhou disliked Chao Xian.

The Mu family was finally relieved that the slap would be reported by eyewitnesses.

After all, Mu Yunzhou had always been perfect in everything he did since childhood, and had never been beaten before, let alone had to coax the culprit after being beaten. This was not Mu Yunzhou's vengeful style.

Mu Qianyu turned her head and thought of her younger brother's thirty years of being single, and inexplicably felt a little sorry for the kid.

An old ox trying to eat young grass actually succeeded.

Unbelievable luck!
