Mu Yichen originally thought that after this incident, the attitude of the Ouyang couple towards him would soften. However, after many days, he went to the Ouyang residence again.
Contrary to his expectations, he was not warmly received. As soon as he sat down, Qin Yao placed a project proposal in front of him.
"I was just about to visit your house, but I didn't expect you to come here. In that case, please give this to your parents," Qin Yao said without any intention of beating around the bush. "We can talk about the profit sharing later. I'm really grateful that you came in time to save Shengyi this time."
Is this... a way to completely sever his gratitude for Qin Shengyi's life-saving efforts with just one project?
It took Mu Yichen a while to realize the other party's intention. A nameless anger welled up inside him, but he pretended to be polite and waved his hand.
"Auntie, you're too kind. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."
"Since I like Shengyi, I should protect her well."
Seeing the other person's sincere expression, Qin Yao almost wavered. But the next second, she remembered what she had investigated and learned, and her slightly turbulent eyes immediately returned to calm.
You can know a person's face but not their heart. No matter how superb their acting skills are, their true nature will always remain unchanged.
"One thing at a time. We should repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude. We should do our part to show our appreciation."
"It's rare that you're willing to treat Shengyi like a younger sister. I believe that a good person like you will definitely find someone who is right for you."
Damn it, is this old witch determined to lie through her teeth?
Mu Yichen unconsciously pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek, his handsome face gradually losing its expression. After a moment of silence, he abruptly stood up from his seat.
"Auntie, thank you for your thoughtfulness, but I just did what I should do, so there's no need for special thanks."
"And I am an adult, I really like Shengyi, I am very clear about the feelings between men and women."
Watching the other person's resolute departure, Qin Yao unconsciously frowned, thinking to herself, "Are all young people these days so hot-tempered?"
After leaving the Ouyang residence, Mu Yichen drove to Zhou Zehao's office, succinctly explained the whole story, and then began to grumble indignantly.
"Damn it! The Ouyang family is really looking down on me. I saved Qin Shengyi's life, and they think they can just get rid of me with a project?"
If he had known it would be like this, he should have dealt with Qin Shengyi decisively back then... Despite his anger, Mu Yichen did not actually say these words out loud.
It seems that the Ouyang family has really investigated Mu Yichen's background thoroughly, to the point that they would rather cede territory and pay reparations than allow the two to continue their contact.
Zhou Zehao nodded thoughtfully, his eyes flashing with a meaningful light for a moment.
"One should always be wary of others. I said before that Xu Yanshu was no ordinary person, and now it seems that I was absolutely right!"
Mu Yichen was taken aback for a moment, and after a slight reaction, he tentatively asked, "You mean it's because Xu Yanshu interfered?"
“That’s right!” Zhou Zehao nodded without hesitation. “Right now, Ouyang Sheng and his wife are still dissatisfied with him, and your background is superior to his.”
"Under these circumstances, how could he possibly let you easily gain his favor?"
Damn it!
Mu Yichen's face immediately darkened, and he gritted his teeth.
Seeing that the person had taken his words to heart, Zhou Zehao subtly curled his lips and continued, "Not to mention that Qin Shengyi's kidnapping this time is more or less related to him."
Everything has two sides. Mu Yichen is indeed terribly stupid, but on the other hand, such a person is also the easiest to control.
He dared to come to my house and threaten me; I had to give him a proper retaliatory response!
"What a despicable scoundrel!" Mu Yichen cursed angrily, tugging at his tie. "How dare he scheme against me! I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"
"What do you want to do? Mu Yichen, you absolutely cannot act rashly..."
"Big brother, don't worry about it, I'll handle it!" Mu Yichen waved his hand without saying a word, and then stormed out of the office.
He was determined to teach Xu Yanshu a lesson, so what did it have to do with him?
Zhou Zehao shrugged nonchalantly, a glint of triumph flashing in his eyes.
If he can't even handle this small matter, he really needs to consider cutting ties with this idiot...
——
When Ouyang Sheng suddenly received a call from Zhou Shengyu, he was surprised and confused, thinking that the two of them had no project cooperation and no personal relationship.
However, the other party's attitude was too sincere. Adhering to the principle of not hitting a smiling face, Ouyang Ming decided to go to the dining room after careful consideration.
"I know you're busy, so I won't beat around the bush. I'm here today for the children's sake!"
Children?
Ouyang Sheng frowned in confusion. His daughter and Zhou Zehao didn't seem to have any interaction, and Zhou Zehao's personality wasn't suitable for Shengyi either.
"Young Master Zhou is indeed a very capable young man, but he's not quite a good match for our Shengyi..."
“Brother Ouyang, you’ve misunderstood,” Zhou Shengyu quickly waved his hand and explained, “I was referring to Yan Shu and Shengyi.”
