He muttered softly, but An Xinghe didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion, "What?"
"Nothing." He shook his head violently.
Xinghe is a person who sees things clearly on weekdays, so why can't he see clearly when it comes to Huiyan?
Huiyan obviously likes him.
Why.......
He had hinted at it countless times, but it was of no use.
For several days in a row, Lan You has been in contact with the young master of the Lu family. Although the Lu family is not as wealthy as the Lan family and the Mo family, it still has some influence in Kyoto.
The news quickly spread within the circle.
"Miss Lan and Mo Junyao broke up?"
"I haven't heard of it. Could it be that Miss Lan cheated on her husband?"
"No way?"
"Why has she become so close to the Lu family's young master recently? And there are rumors that the two families are already discussing an engagement."
"Is it so shocking? Mo Junyao got dumped? How could such an outstanding and handsome guy get dumped?"
"Are you a little tempted? Why don't you recruit him into your Xu family as a son-in-law?"
"Of course you can. There might be a lot of people lining up right now. If you don't take the initiative, someone else will grab it."
The teased woman blushed suddenly, and the image of Mo Junyao's delicate features, his well-dressed appearance, his affectionateness and talent emerged in her mind. He was exactly the standard of the male protagonist in the novel. How could one not be moved by him?
As soon as Mo Junyao left the company, many wealthy and famous ladies suddenly showed up and shyly asked him out.
He frowned and quickly asked the security guard to stop them. Just as he was about to leave, someone shouted, "Mo Junyao, Miss Lan has dumped you. Don't work like a slave for the Lan family. It's not worth it."
He ignored it and got into the car with no expression on his face.
At night, when the night falls, the city is shrouded in neon lights, showing a variety of colorful colors.
In the VIP room of the bar.
The dim light shone on Mo Junyao's face, flickering and revealing a sense of mystery.
"Lan You and the young master of the Lu family have been getting very close recently. Some people in the circle are saying that they will get engaged soon. You should have heard about this, right?" Gu Chen looked at Mo Junyao curiously with a puzzled look, wanting to know how he would react.
He held the goblet with his slender fingers and shook it slightly, causing the deep red wine to ripple. His eyes were slightly deep, as if impossible to see through.
"I heard about it." His voice was indifferent, and it seemed that no emotion could be heard.
Gu Chen was slightly stunned. He always knew that Jun Yao was a deep-seated person, but his emotions showed a little when he was facing Lan You. But now he suddenly couldn't understand it.
"Have you two...broken up?" Gu Chen thought of what he had confessed and guessed based on Lan You's current situation.
Mo Junyao shook his head and replied calmly, "No."
"What? No? Then why is Lan You still so close to the young master of the Lu family? And didn't you say before that she was more attached to you than before? Why is she like this suddenly? Is it because you were a little indifferent to her, so she became desperate and went to find someone else?" Gu Chen analyzed rationally.
"I don't know." Mo Junyao couldn't describe his feelings, and even felt that his emotions were so pale and powerless.
"Jun Yao, what are you thinking? You can't have worked for the Lan family for nothing in the past five years." Gu Chen looked at him puzzled.
Mo Junyao stared at the crimson wine, his expression dazed as he slowly uttered some words, "Actually, when I found out, I didn't react much. I wouldn't say I was angry, but rather a little resentful. I still can't accept that the Youyou I loved is really not coming back."
"This time I brought her back to Hai City, hoping to bring back some of her memories. Even if she only had the slightest recollection, it was to remind me that the Youyou standing before me is the one I once vowed to love and care for my whole life. But reality cruelly tells me that the Youyou of the past no longer exists. Is this just an excuse for me not to love her, or is it because she has changed that I no longer love her? I don't know."
"But I've thought about it for several days. If she really wants to start a new relationship, I don't mind helping her and myself. It's just that the memories of the past can't let go."
A strong sour taste rose in his throat. He tilted his head back and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp. His Adam's apple rolled sexily, and soon the glass was empty. The faint light shone on his face, revealing a bit of loneliness and desolation.
Looking at him like this, Gu Chen instantly felt a sense of empathy, and he continued to drink a glass.
Mo Junyao drank several glasses of wine and remained calm. "How's the investigation going?"
Gu Chen's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said solemnly, "I've been investigating for a long time. Xia Chujian, Mo Tianhao, and Lan Rui all had emotional entanglements back then. I can't find out more specific details because I'm afraid to say more due to the relationship between the Mo and Lan families, and it's been quite a while."
"What?" According to his adoptive father Qi Tian, he should be related to Mo Tianhao, but Lan Rui had an emotional entanglement with his mother Xia Chujian. Didn't he know that his mother was from Hai City and that her surname was Mo? Didn't he have any doubts?
In the past five years, the real power was almost out of his hands, but all the work given to him was aimed at the Mo family.
He frowned, a look of deep thought flashing across his face.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chen asked with concern when he saw him like this.
"I'm just wondering if Lan Rui knows my identity?" He asked the question in his heart.
"That shouldn't be the case. The Lan family and the Mo family have always been at loggerheads. If he knew you were related to Mo Tianhao, he wouldn't let you be with Lan You. But I really didn't expect that my aunt would be related to Lan Rui." Gu Chen said in astonishment.
"But I think he will. Lan Rui is a very successful businessman. When he wanted to take Youyou away, there was no way he would have let me threaten him to go with him, unless he had already investigated me and wanted me to come to Kyoto."
After arriving in Kyoto, the Mo family instantly changed their way of fighting, changing from a secret fight to an open fight, and the Lan family happened to win.
"You mean that Lan Rui uses his daughter to tie you down, and uses you to deal with the Mo family without any effort. You are essentially engaging in an internal struggle, and Lan Rui only needs to sit back and reap the benefits." Gu Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood and said it in disbelief.
"Well, actually I had some doubts before, but at that time I didn't understand why it was me? He could do it perfectly by himself." Mo Junyao said in a firm voice.
Gu Chen's mouth opened in shock. "If that's really the case, then Lan Rui is too terrifying. He actually used his own daughter in secret and set up such a big scheme. It turns out that although he appears gentle and polite, his methods are still not to be underestimated."
