Looking back at his previous actions, it's not hard to see that there were obvious signs of him putting on a show.
Fortunately, Zheng Yu reminded her in time, and Qin Yao couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. She had almost pushed her daughter into a pit of fire.
Mu Yichen's smile gradually showed signs of faltering, but he still forced a nod, "I understand, Auntie, you're right, I will definitely work hard!"
Qin Yao nodded slightly, and then immediately gave him the order to leave without hesitation, "If there's nothing else important, you can go back now. Shengyi is going to the company for a meeting with me later."
"Okay, then I'll head back now."
After Mu Yichen turned and left, Jiang Yao couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, it was to prevent Xu Yanshu from continuing to delay their daughter's development that they thought of quickly finding a reliable person to divert Nannan's attention, but they did not expect that Mu Yichen would be such a two-faced person.
Out of the corner of her eye, Qin Yao noticed a figure hiding around the corner of the stairs. She chuckled for a moment, cleared her throat, and then reminded him.
"Stop hiding, the person is gone, come down!"
Qin Shengyi suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then came downstairs.
Once the person was in front of her, Qin Yao tentatively asked, "What's wrong with you? I've noticed you've been avoiding Mu Yichen these past few days. Didn't you have a pretty good impression of him before? Or did something unpleasant happen between you two?"
Now that she has basically seen through Mu Yichen's true nature, she naturally doesn't want Nannan to spend too much time with him.
She had previously thought quite well of this person, so her attitude suddenly changed completely, which she found rather strange.
It's unclear whether Nannan has noticed something amiss, or if something has happened between the two of them that she's unaware of.
For a moment, Qin Shengyi looked away, then stammered, "There's nothing unpleasant about it. I... I just feel inexplicably awkward around him."
She had initially planned to use Mu Yichen to escape the blind dates her mother arranged for her, but things suddenly turned out differently, and she never expected that he would actually confess his feelings to her.
More importantly, she felt that Mu Yichen was not as simple as he seemed, and Zheng Yu had also warned her about it, so she was unwilling to spend any more time alone with him right now.
"Forced relationships are never sweet. If you really feel that you two are not a good match, then it's best to end it here. At least you are both trying to get to know each other."
Completely surprised by the other party's attitude, Qin Shengyi looked up in astonishment, "Mom, you..."
"I was too hasty before, and I apologize for that. Mom was wrong."
Qin Yao reached out and pulled her daughter to sit down beside her. After giving her a gentle look, she spoke.
"But you have to believe that whatever decision your mother makes is for your benefit. You are my only daughter, and naturally I want you to have the most secure happiness."
So, could he try to accept Yan Shu...?
Qin Sheng hesitated, but ultimately said nothing, feeling a deep sense of helplessness.
She knew, of course, that all her mother's decisions were for her own good, except for the issue of Yan Shu.
"Mom, I know," Qin Shengyi nodded obediently, then subtly changed the subject, "Shouldn't we go to the company now?"
Qin Yao stood up from the sofa. "Okay, let's go to the company together!"
——
With Huang Dongsheng's advice, Xu Yanshu decided to get to the bottom of things, and coincidentally, Jiang Zhengyu knew of a private detective agency.
After ending the call, Jiang Zhengyu turned around and sat back in the car, speaking cautiously, "The information they gave us is that Zhou Zehao and Xie Huanyu have indeed been frequently going in and out of the same place recently."
These two have somehow gotten together again.
His gaze suddenly darkened, and Xu Yanshu frowned almost imperceptibly. After a slight pause, he slowly pressed the accelerator.
Actually, Jiang Zhengyu hadn't finished speaking when he also discovered that Mu Yichen was hanging out with Zhou Zehao. He wasn't sure if Yan Shu could remain calm after hearing this news.
Noticing his friend's hesitation, Xu Yanshu sighed helplessly, "Zhengyu, there's no one else here, so just say what you want to say!"
"Um... Mu Yichen seems to hang out with Zhou Zehao quite often too."
What?
Xu Yanshu's eye twitched uncontrollably, and she couldn't help but turn to look at Jiang Zhengyu. After confirming that the other party was not joking, her face suddenly darkened.
What kind of good people can hang out with Zhou Zehao? He couldn't help but swear, unconsciously gripping the steering wheel tighter.
"Didn't you say this person was absolutely fine? What's going on now? Didn't you know he knew Zhou Zehao at all before this?"
"At that time..." Jiang Zhengyu was about to explain, but he was angered by the questioning tone and retorted irritably, "Xu Yanshu, what kind of attitude is this?"
"So now you're blaming me? The reason I suggested this flimsy solution was entirely from your perspective, and now you're here to interrogate me?"
Realizing that his bad idea might have given Mu Yichen the possibility and opportunity to harm Shengyi, Jiang Zhengyu felt uneasy.
But things have already gotten this far, and there's no point in regretting it now. The most important thing is to find a way to break the current situation as soon as possible and not let Mu Yichen get any closer to Sheng Yi.
