But she didn't see the triumphant smile on Mu Ci's face.
This girl, this is indeed the only method that works.
He doesn't mind pretending to be weak. As for teaching Zhou Shuo how to love, there is plenty of time and no rush.
And those who wanted to kill him behind the scenes were not in a hurry.
It has been so many years, he doesn't mind a moment of delay. He will have a life in the future, so he can just enjoy himself slowly.
He will pay with his life for those who saved him, such as Zhou Shuo.
He will make those who have hurt him experience what it means to live a life worse than death!
...
Zhou Le slept until the afternoon before finally waking up slowly.
The physical discomfort has been alleviated a lot.
She struggled to sit up, reached for her cell phone and opened it, and suddenly more than fifty missed calls came in, more than forty of which were from Gu Ming, and the rest were from her brother and mother.
She called Zhou Cong back.
"Zhou Le, Zhou Le, Zhou Le, where are you? You're making me so anxious!" Zhou Cong's voice was very low.
Zhou Le asked hurriedly: "What did you tell your mother?"
"I'm telling you, remember this, you didn't come back yesterday because you went to your best friend Chen Ting's house. Chen Ting and I agreed that you were angry with Gu Ming and were hiding in our suburban villa. I was afraid that Mom would worry, so I helped cover for her." Zhou Cong finished speaking in one breath.
Zhou Le breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother, has that project started?"
"It's over, Zhou Le, you are really the lucky star of our family! We received the notice this morning, and I thought it was all your credit. Tell me quickly, how did you do it? Is the second young master Mu fascinated by you? You are so willing to do things for our family, you are amazing! Do you know? You are the savior of our Zhou family! Lucky star! Zhou Le!" Zhou Cong kept talking happily.
Zhou Le's tense nerves finally relaxed. Mu En really did it for her.
This shows that that night, just as he said, he recognized her.
She threw back the quilt and got out of bed naked. As soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
She staggered into the bathroom and saw her body covered in bruises in the full-body mirror, and tears welled up in her eyes.
But his eyes were suddenly drawn to the box on the sink.
It was a special gift box from the top jewelry store.
She walked over quickly and opened it impatiently. A dazzling necklace lay there proudly. Zhou Le's fingers carefully stroked the pink diamond pendant, and her heart beat faster.
This necklace once appeared at the Mu family's jewelry exhibition. At that time, it was worn around the neck of the eldest lady of the Mu family, which shows the value and status of this necklace.
Could this be a gift from Mu En?
But, such a valuable thing——
She carefully moved the box, and a small card appeared from the bottom: "For baby Zhou Le."
There is a small love heart underneath.
Zhou Le hugged the box in his arms ecstatically and kissed it again and again.
All the pain and grievances disappeared.
Mu En, this man, is a gift from God to her!
Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about this necklace. No matter whether it is the Zhou family or the Gu family, it is impossible for them to buy it for her. Even if they can afford it, they can't use such a necklace worth nearly 10 million as a dowry or betrothal gift for her, because their family background does not allow them to be so extravagant, and also because, in their eyes, she is not worthy of them.
But it doesn't matter, she has the ability to get what she wants.
She happily turned on the shower and washed off the dirt on her body. All the pain reminded her once again of the glory of being a Muen woman.
In the office.
Mu En's feet were on the desk. He lazily leaned back in the large office chair, a game console in his hand. Without even looking up, he asked Lin Xu, "Are you leaving?"
Lin Xu said hurriedly: "He left in the afternoon and left happily."
Mu En sneered, "Women, it's better to be so stupid. Let's keep that room exclusively for her."
Lin Xu smiled and said, "It's a huge honor for you to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to imitate your wife's necklace. You even reserved her a private room. This treatment is not low!"
Mu En didn't stop and smiled, "In terms of quality, she is worth it. She has always wanted to marry into the Mu family. Let her live in her dream, isn't that great? Grandpa and my mother are watching closely now, and those with similar family backgrounds are hard to come by. It's rare to meet such a top-notch girl with good endurance. Moreover, I can use her to disgust my good brother and sister-in-law. It's really worth the money!"
Hearing this, Lin Xu suddenly remembered, "Oh, Second Young Master, Uncle Jiang asked me which young lady you've been dating recently. It sounds like the old man might start asking about your marriage. Madam is also investigating the backgrounds of the young ladies you've been close to lately."
The game in Mu En's hand crashed. He threw his phone on the table and stretched. "Check again? Is it endless?"
Lin Xu said carefully, "Second Young Master, I feel like this is a big deal. Is it possible that the old man wants you to get married too?"
Mu En looked at him and motioned for him to continue.
Lin Xu sorted out his thoughts and adjusted his sentence order. "What do you think of the old man's health recently?"
Mu En thought for a moment and said, "I don't think there's anything unusual. Just tell me what you think! It's okay. Let's brainstorm!"
Lin Xu finally mustered up the courage to speak: "I've been thinking, the old man is eighty years old, it's impossible that he doesn't have some plans. For the sake of the young master, the old man has been unwilling to give up power all these years. The young master's recent wedding was very hastily arranged. I think it's not right no matter how much I think about it. What do you think, could it be that the old man feels that he is not up to the task? Should he quickly arrange the marriage between the young master and you, just in case?"
Lin Xu carefully looked at Mu En's face, and was relieved to see that Mu En was not angry.
"I'm just speculating out of thin air. I'm afraid you're only concerned with the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, and avoid thinking of the worst. The Mu family's ancestral precepts are there. Although the eldest young master is not a good person, he is still the eldest grandson of the eldest house. Second young master, if you don't make plans for yourself early, I'm afraid you will suffer the consequences!"
Lin Xu spoke from the heart and expressed his thoughts earnestly.
Mu En's slender fingers turned a pen, his eyes looked at a certain place, narrowed, and he didn't say anything.
Lin Xu knew that some things should be said briefly and not in depth, so he stood quietly aside, giving Mu En room to think.
After a long while, Mu En finally spoke: "Keep an eye on my mom and see which girl she likes. Send me the information as soon as possible."
"Yes! Don't worry, Second Young Master. We know the background of every suitable girl in this city and we will update it at any time." Lin Xu said hurriedly.
Mu En nodded in satisfaction, as if talking to himself: "The families that my mother likes are not a big deal. It's mainly because of Grandpa's thoughts, which are hard to guess. Even if my mother likes a girl from a certain family, in the end, Grandpa still has to agree. Grandpa says he won't interfere, but a look from him will make my father ponder for half a month. So, the final decision-making power still lies with Grandpa."
Seeing Mu En frowning, Lin Xu asked in confusion, "The Second Young Master has good relationships with those young ladies who might be targets. No matter which one he chooses, there won't be any problem, right?"
