In the president's office of Lantian Group, Shen Lanxin rubbed her temples, looking at Zhang Chunfang with an unfriendly expression.
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
Shen Lanxin was busy with important business, sending the recording Chu Yaqin had given her and some documents to various news media outlets.
Standing behind Zhang Chunfang was Gu Nan. Even with her eyes closed, Shen Lanxin knew what they were there for, but she still asked.
"Xin Xin, look at you, why are you being so fierce? Can't Mom even come and see where you work?"
Zhang Chunfang gave Shen Lanxin a reproachful look and put the lunchbox she was carrying on the coffee table: "Mom only brought you some soup because I saw that you've been working so late these past few days."
"Then what is Gu Nanlai doing here?"
After what happened last time, Shen Lanxin stopped calling Gu Nan "Young Master Gu" and addressed him by his given name, "Gu Nan."
Seeing Shen Lanxin's firm attitude, Zhang Chunfang was taken aback, but quickly adjusted herself: "Xiao Nan is just worried about you because you've been working hard."
“If you have too much work, why don’t you ask your dad to help you? Jingjing doesn’t ask him either.”
Shen Lihong is retired, not dead. When she is busy with work, Shen Lanxin will ask Shen Lihong to help her meet with clients.
But this was a private matter after all, and it seemed that her father, Shen Lihong, was already in cahoots with Zhang Chunfang, so Shen Lanxin naturally wouldn't tell Shen Lihong.
"It's nothing, I can handle it myself."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunfang's face showed anger: "Are you cleaning up after that Mu Liuyun's mess?!"
Shen Lanxin was not surprised that Zhang Chunfang knew Mu Liuyun's name; Gu Nan must have told her long ago.
So, Shen Lanxin nodded: "Yes."
"That kid not only had someone's mistress, but he also bullied his classmates! If this gets out, it won't just affect your reputation, it will also affect the Blue Sky Group!"
Zhang Chunfang looked at Mu Liuyun with a disappointed expression, continuing to slander her while incessantly talking about family interests.
Especially when it comes to slandering Mu Liuyun, Zhang Chunfang knows almost as much as Shen Lanxin.
If Shen Lanxin hadn't already confirmed that this matter was only related to the Liu and Lin families, she would have really suspected that her adoptive mother was also behind it.
"I have my own ideas, so you don't need to worry about them."
Shen Lanxin had no intention of explaining herself to this old woman who only knew how to force her to marry Gu Nan; talking to her would only make her uncomfortable.
Zhang Chunfang was equally unhappy, sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed and a huff, looking like she was saying, "If you don't listen to me, I won't talk to you anymore."
Seeing this, Gu Nan quickly stepped forward to persuade her: "Auntie, don't be angry. President Shen has her own plans. We don't understand, so we shouldn't get involved. We can just support her from behind."
Hearing Gu Nan's advice, Zhang Chunfang's expression immediately improved: "Look, learn from Xiao Nan, don't be so stubborn. Fine, if you like to meddle, then meddle."
As she spoke, Zhang Chunfang picked up the lunchbox: "Drink this soup and take good care of your stomach. If you get hungry tonight, call Mom and she'll ask Xiaonan to bring you food."
Upon hearing Zhang Chunfang's words, Gu Nan immediately straightened his back, patted his chest, and looked like he was ready to leave it to him.
Shen Lanxin, on the other hand, looked at Zhang Chunfang and Gu Nan with a calm expression.
Having known Mu Liuyun for a while, Shen Lanxin could now see through Zhang Chunfang and Gu Nan's act at a glance. Their purpose in coming to her office and everything they said were unimportant; the only thing that mattered was the soup in the lunchbox.
Shen Lanxin had no doubt about what kind of predicament she would fall into after drinking this soup.
So, Shen Lanxin prepared to simply knock over the lunchbox. But before she could do anything, Zhang Chunfang's phone rang.
From a distance, Shen Lanxin heard her father's name coming through the phone. Zhang Chunfang frowned at first, then sighed and hung up.
"Xin Xin, Xiao Nan and I will be leaving now. If you're not going to drink this soup, I'll take it back for your dad."
With that, Zhang Chunfang picked up her lunchbox without hesitation and walked out of the president's office.
Gu Nan looked very worried about Shen Lanxin: "President Shen, you may dislike me for some reason now, but I hope you can remember that I will always be the one who cares about you. Don't overwork yourself."
After saying that, Gu Nan followed Zhang Chunfang.
Shen Lanxin took a deep breath and plopped down on the sofa, her whole body sinking into the soft cushions.
In the past, she was willing to play along with Zhang Chunfang and Gu Nanxu, but now, seeing these two putting on such a show of acting makes her want to vomit.
How she wished that the person who had just knocked on her office door was not Zhang Chunfang and Gu Nan, but Mu Liuyun.
However, now is not the time. The key is to help Mu Liuyun resolve the threat posed by the Liu family.
After resting for a few minutes, Shen Lanxin sat back down at her desk and took out the documents and recordings that Chu Yaqin had sent.
The recording cannot be used as evidence. Even if what happened at the dock tonight is exposed, it will be difficult for them to find Liu Kun to blame.
This doesn't mean that Shen Lanxin and Chu Yaqin are helpless against Liu Kun.
Since you're going to use public opinion to force Mu Liuyun to drop out of school, why can't they use public opinion to attack you, Liu Kun?
She remembered a line from an anime she used to watch: "Use magic to defeat magic."
Although neither the Shen family nor the Chu family is involved in the media, that's not a problem, since she and Chu Yaqin are indeed very wealthy.
"Get this done quickly, then go find Xiaoyun."
While continuing to call various media bosses, Shen Lanxin fantasized about going back to Mu Liuyun to have fun after things went smoothly, and then returning to the reward room to continue playing...
...
"Hiss! How are we supposed to play this?!"
Mu Liuyun gasped, her eyes widening in disbelief, muttering to herself, "Amazing..."
Chu Yaqin, standing to the side, smiled smugly, waving the old-fashioned controller in her hand: "This game isn't that difficult~"
The two were sitting side by side on the sofa in the living room, with an old game console next to the LCD TV.
This game console was picked up by Grandpa Mu when Mu Xiaoxi was in the third grade. It has been through many years and is still able to fulfill its purpose.
Mu Liuyun and Chu Yaqin each controlled two characters on the television.
This is a fighting game. Chu Yaqin chose a turtle wearing a bald headband, while Mu Liuyun controlled a character covered in armor.
When facing Chu Yaqin, Mu Liuyun's armor was like paper, repeatedly shattered by Chu Yaqin's bare hands. But after several rounds of the game, Mu Liuyun still didn't change her character.
Watching himself lose to Chu Yaqin time and time again, Mu Liuyun was somewhat incredulous. This was a game he used to play with Old Man Mu often, and it was also one that Mu Liuyun was quite good at.
Moreover, Mu Liuyun had secretly chosen a stronger character, yet she still couldn't defeat Chu Yaqin. This made Mu Liuyun sigh at the differences between people.
"Yaqin, you really know how to have fun."
The moment she uttered those words, Mu Liuyun quickly covered her mouth. She didn't clarify whether she meant playing games or toys when she said she was good at playing, which made her tone sound somewhat sarcastic.
"I guess so. I actually really enjoy playing video games."
Chu Yaqin responded playfully. She had long forgotten what happened that morning, so how could she think that Mu Liuyun was being sarcastic?
Another battle ended, and Chu Yaqin covered her mouth with her hand as she yawned.
"Yaqin, are you sleepy?"
Chu Yaqin didn't mince words and nodded gently. She hadn't been still all night holding Mu Liuyun, and during the day she'd been running around for Mu Liuyun, getting up very early. At this moment, she was really struggling to keep her eyes open.
