Chapter 264 Century-Old Vinegar



His eyes darkened, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and a burning jealousy raged in his chest, reaching all the way to his eyes.

In the past, he regarded Mu Ye as a thorn in his side, and Sheng Qiaoqiao had hurt him a lot because of him.

He vividly remembered her past with Makino.

When she was riding high, she spent money to make Mu Ye famous; when she was down and out, Mu Ye stayed by her side; when she was depressed and despondent, Mu Ye pulled her out of the abyss; after her untimely death, Mu Ye felt like he was dying...

Fu Yanshen clenched his fists, suppressing his emotions that were on the verge of collapse. Unwilling to listen any longer, he turned and left.

"Ono——"

It took me a while to come to my senses, and for a moment I was at a loss.

I've always treated him like a younger brother.

"Do you find it strange? Sister Qiao, it's only natural that I fell in love with you, isn't it?" Mu Ye spoke again, a smile appearing on his lips and seeping into his eyes.

Beneath her beautiful peach blossom eyes, a pair of sweet-looking eye bags appeared.

"Do you know? I was actually reborn... In my previous life, the eldest daughter of the Qin family treated me like a plaything. When she got tired of me, she sent me to serve male big shots... What top stars? In front of them, I'm not even as good as a dog."

Makino's voice was hoarse, and each word he uttered sounded like a cuckoo weeping blood.

My heart clenched.

He was also reborn.

I wasn't too shocked; what troubled me more was his past life. "Serving male bosses"—I can imagine the grievances and humiliation behind those simple words.

No one knows the wickedness and filth of the entertainment industry better than I, as its agent.

I blinked and gave him a hug.

“Sister Qiao, they played me to death… Then, I was reborn at 19, and Qin Lulu targeted me again. You saved me. When I was about to fall into the abyss again, you pulled me up.” Mu Ye hugged me back and said in a hoarse voice.

So, he saw me as his salvation.

He fell in love with me without a second thought.

I saved him at the time simply because I knew his future fate and it was a momentary act of kindness.

I let go of him, took a step back, and looked at him gently. "Xiao Ye, I'm sorry, I can't reciprocate your feelings. In my heart, you are my younger brother."

Makino nodded, his emotions remaining unchanged.

"You got back together with him, right?"

"Yes, I faked my death two years ago, abandoning everything, also for him." I smiled, my tone firm, even proud.

Unlike before, when I was still entangled with Fu Yanshen, I would feel guilty if Mu Ye caught me, afraid that he would look down on me for being love-struck.

Makino looked somewhat shocked.

I told him how much Fu Yanshen had sacrificed for me in his past and present lives, and all the changes he had undergone. Mu Ye listened quietly, and finally gave a bittersweet smile.

"Sister Qiao, my love for you is one-sided, so please don't feel bothered."

"Love cannot be forced, I understand."

His eyes were clear, and his words were sincere.

He is still the clear-headed, precocious, and sincere young man I remember.

His words dispelled my concerns. He has depression, and I was afraid that if I rejected him too harshly, it would upset him. But he comforted himself.

"Xiao Ye, you're still young. You'll definitely meet a girl who's better and more compatible with you than me in the future, and that girl will be your true love."

"I still consider you my younger brother, my own flesh and blood."

I looked at him with a smile in my eyes.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Makino nodded, his nose stinging. In truth, seeing her standing alive and well in front of him again, looking at him with the same smile as before, he was already very content.

In the past two years, he has not seen her, and the thought of her death has left him feeling like he has lost his soul.

He couldn't speak, but driven by his inner impulse, he hugged her again.

I only hugged him; I dared not hope for more.

She and Fu Yanshen have been through two lifetimes; that must be true love.

Actually, he knew before that she still had feelings for him; they were like one, inseparable even after the lotus root was broken.

He had ulterior motives before, instigating her to switch jobs when Fu Yanshen was about to go bankrupt. He also deliberately said some provocative things to Fu Yanshen, which led to him beating her up. She caught him doing this and blamed Fu Yanshen.

Makino told me about these two things.

Thinking of Fu Yanshen who was still waiting for me downstairs, I took Mu Ye downstairs.

Mengmeng said that he left a long time ago, but his two bodyguards were still there, guarding outside the company. They told me that Fu Yanshen's company had an emergency and asked them to protect me.

Fu Group

A tense atmosphere hung over the conference room, and the executives were trembling with fear, feeling as if they were going to a funeral.

President Fu hadn't been to the company for almost a month, but suddenly appeared and held an impromptu meeting, criticizing everyone, starting with his assistant Lin Xiao.

At this moment, the marketing director, who was reporting on his work, kept making mistakes as he spoke, and he felt as if an invisible knife was being held to his neck.

At that moment, the conference room, where you could hear a pin drop, was filled with the buzzing of cell phones.

Fu Yanshen raised his head, his face ashen, his expression even more terrifying.

During his meetings, all employees' cell phones must be switched off.

"Mr. Fu, yes, your phone is ringing," Lin Xiao whispered, handing him the phone.

First love

Seeing the two words displayed on the screen, Fu Yanshen felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his expression softened.

This morning, I just got her a new cell phone, and the number is new too. She saved "First Love" in her phone number.

She also complained that he never saved her phone number before.

Do I still need to save numbers that I know by heart?

Dog Joe Joe, I finally remembered him.

She called to report to him about Makino's confession to her, and then to express her loyalty to him, saying that she had rejected Makino.

Fu Yanshen answered the call after leaving the conference room.
