Chapter 221 Something's fishy



To say nothing of the distant past, just the last time she pretended to be drunk and conspired with the bartender to deceive herself, if it weren't for prior planning and setup, it would be absolutely impossible for it to coincidentally become a trending topic.

This reaction made Xie Huanyu feel uncomfortable for a moment, and he awkwardly waved his hand.

"Yan Shu, no matter what, you have to believe that I truly love you!"

Looking at the woman's sincere expression, Xu Yanshu narrowed his eyes sarcastically, "Just because you're sincere, does that mean I have to accept your feelings? Weren't I sincere to you before? And how did you treat me then?"

"Xie Huanyu, do you think it's normal for all the men in the world to revolve around you?"

He didn't want to bring up the past anymore. He wanted to part ways amicably with Xie Huanyu, but he never expected that even after he had made his stance clear, Xie Huanyu would still cling to him so persistently.

I……

Xie Huanyu's face turned ashen, and she unconsciously clenched her hands at her sides.

She knew she shouldn't be bothering Xu Yanshu, but she was really unwilling to give up now... She felt she could make up for everything that had happened before.

"What if Qin Shengyi wasn't there?"

"This has nothing to do with anyone else!" Seeing that the other party was still stubborn, Xu Yanshu instantly flew into a rage, and his tone of voice rose considerably. "Even if I have no intention of winning, I will absolutely not remarry you!"

After saying that, Xu Yanshu stormed out of the restaurant.

sorry……

Watching the man's resolute departing figure, Xie Huanyu frowned painfully, her eyes misting over.

"Miss Xie? It really is you," Mu Yichen tentatively stepped forward, and only after confirming that it was Xie Huanyu did he sit down at an empty seat. "In that case, let's have a meal together!"

Unsure if the other person had seen Yan Shu, Xie Huanyu quickly turned her face away and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"No, I have other things to do, so I'll go first..."

Seeing that the other party was about to make another excuse to leave, Mu Yichen's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a sinister tone, "Don't worry, I certainly won't be as ungrateful as Xu Yanshu!"

She was crying like a lapdog in front of Xu Yanshu just now, but in the blink of an eye, she's putting on such an air of a noble young lady in front of me.

Thinking of Qin Shengyi's similar behavior, Xu Yanshu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He pressed his tongue against his back teeth, thinking that these women were really too disrespectful to him.

So was he mocking himself when he said that?

Xie Huanyu frowned slightly, unconsciously clenching her hands under the table. After considering it, she still did not get up and leave.

Mu Yichen casually raised his hand to call the waiter, ordered, and then handed the menu to the person opposite him. Xie Huanyu paused slightly before taking the menu.

"As the saying goes, even if you don't respect the monk, you should respect the Buddha. In any case, we all know Zhou Zehao," Mu Yichen said calmly, arms crossed, as he admired the woman's stunning figure. "Besides, for now, we're practically on the same side!"

Sensing the underlying meaning in those words, Xie Huanyu slowly raised her head and tentatively asked,

"You already have a plan?"

This reaction caused a fleeting glint of triumph to flash in Mu Yichen's eyes, but he instead became calm and composed.

"No rush, let's finish our meal first and then talk slowly."

...

The door to the president's office was ajar, and Ouyang Ming hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Honey, the police have sent word that the people involved have said they were instructed to put on a show, but they've been evasive and won't say who it was."

Qin Yao was slightly taken aback. She unconsciously recalled the time she gave her statement that day. "Didn't you say you were only after money? How did it turn into this?"

"It is said that the police officers found something wrong while sorting out the documents, so they interrogated the two people again. One of them had a weak mentality and confessed everything."

Ouyang Ming's expression was solemn. He had felt that something was amiss and had originally planned to investigate it thoroughly.

However, I was busy with a series of company matters and planned to have Shengyi stay at the branch office for a while, so the matter was delayed.

So, does that mean someone is deliberately targeting the Ouyang family?

After hearing the whole story, Qin Yao's face darkened considerably. If that was the case, then the nature of the matter was completely different.

The person behind this is probably nearby, otherwise they wouldn't have thought of using Xu Yanshu to trick Shengyi out of her home. Perhaps they were intentionally trying to get them to take their anger out on Xu Yanshu, while also diverting their attention.

Suppressing her own thoughts for the moment, Qin Yao instructed the person in front of her, "Go and arrange for an assistant to follow up on this matter. Let us know as soon as there is any news!"

"Don't worry, I've already made the arrangements!" Ouyang Ming nodded thoughtfully, his serious expression showing no signs of easing. "In that case, it seems that sending Shengyi to the branch office was a wise choice."

Qin Yao shook her head slightly, her eyes gradually darkening. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "We can't let our guard down. Remember to remind Nannan to be careful when she goes out!"

Meanwhile, Zhou Zehao and Mu Yichen also received the news. The latter couldn't sit still for a while and immediately rushed to Zhou Zehao's office.
