Chapter 117: Stuck in the Stairwell
Mu Yuan thought Gu Chenyi would rush over.
But it didn't.
This young master still turned when he reached the intersection.
Although his eyes were always fixed on her.
Zhou Yuanmei craned her neck and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure the man had left. "He's gone! I was so scared. I thought he was coming over. Did you see that woman next to him? She's the one I told you about the other day—his new blind date."
She also glanced at the girl just now.
She is quite pretty, but she looks obviously very young, maybe she just started college and is full of energy.
You can tell at first glance that she is the daughter of a wealthy family.
Sure enough, the next second Zhou Yuanmei said, "The girl just now is called Wang Ruier. You'll never guess who she is. Her family makes the pharmaceutical company that makes the cold medicine we take for the flu, a must-have for every household."
Mu Yuan blinked slightly and commented: "Then they are a perfect match."
Although she didn't know what Gu Chenyi's family did, it was obvious that he was from a wealthy family.
Zhou Yuanmei pinched a piece of shrimp cracker and took a bite. It was crispy. "It's true that they are well-matched, but if these two people don't have a spark, it's useless."
Seeing that she was enjoying the food, Mu Yuan also pinched a piece and asked, "How do you know she's not interested?"
Zhou Yuanmei: "Please, everyone in the circle knows that it was Gu Chenyi who rescued Wang Ruier in the bar. Wang Ruier was immediately attracted to Gu Chenyi after being rescued by the hero. When she learned that Gu Chenyi's family was looking for a blind date for him, she immediately pestered his family to help her, saying that she also wanted to go on a blind date with Gu Chenyi."
Mu Yuan didn't care much: "You saw them together. We saw it again today. Maybe they are attracted to each other and their relationship is developing."
Zhou Yuanmei chuckled, "Then you're wrong. Gu Chenyi is being forced to contact Wang Ruier because both of their families are pharmaceutical groups. The Gu family is a rising star, but the Wang family has been operating for nearly a hundred years, generation after generation. The family power is solid. If the two families unite, the entire pharmaceutical industry will be dominated by them. So, how could the Gu family miss such a good opportunity? Of course, this young master is wronged, but it's also strange that this young master suddenly changed his ways. In the past, he was used to doing his own thing and never interfered with the family business. As long as he didn't want to, no one could force him. I really don't know why he changed his ways this time."
Mu Yuan's mouth was dry from eating the shrimp chips, so she took a sip of the sweet and sour orange juice: "I don't know whether he will change his ways or not, I only know that if you don't eat the food, it will get cold."
"Oh oh!" Zhou Yuanmei quickly came back to her senses: "Eat, eat! I've been craving this Thai restaurant for a long time, and finally found the opportunity to come out and try it with you. I really miss our college days, when we were free and could go wherever we wanted without worrying about whether we had time or not."
Mu Yuan's face was cold and calm: "You are very free now, okay? So, after finishing your doctorate, what are your plans?"
Zhou Yuanmei scratched her head. "I haven't decided yet. I've been studying because I don't know what to do after graduation. My mom probably thinks I don't have the ability to start a business, and my salary from working might not even be enough to buy me a bag. So she keeps urging me to get married and become a rich wife. Tsk, how can becoming a rich wife be that easy? Do you know who else she's trying to hook me up with? The heir to the Huo Group—Huo Min, your CEO!"
Mu Yuan paused while picking up the food, but quickly returned to normal, trying to hide the awkwardness in her expression: "Auntie, why did you suddenly think of setting Huo Min up?"
Zhou Yuanmei: "How would I know? I said she was fanciful. Someone of Huo Min's status would never find someone we are at the level of."
Mu Yuan responded indifferently: "Yeah."
"Besides, he has a rumored girlfriend who he's been dating for a long time - Don Nana. With that figure and that beauty, how can I compare to her..."
Zhou Yuanmei pouted and suddenly stared at Mu Yuan in the middle of her speech with a proud look on her face: "Except for you, you are as beautiful as a flower and the moon, a fairy descended to the earth, and you are also very curvy, which is unique."
Mu Yuan looked at her coldly: "Don't think that just because you flatter me, I won't be angry at you for betraying me."
Zhou Yuanmei: "Unjust! I'm really praising you! But Yuanyuan, you've been so focused on the lab, haven't you ever thought about falling in love?"
Mu Yuan paused for two seconds before lowering her eyes: "No."
Zhou Yuanmei shook her head: "If I had your beauty and figure, I would change boyfriends every day and walk sideways!"
Mu Yuan's voice was as cold as a spring: "Go and talk to Auntie."
Zhou Yuanmei's morale plummeted.
"I just didn't want to live anymore, so I went to her and said, 'Well, I'm not against dating, but marriage means tying your life to someone, and you have to think carefully and choose carefully. I don't want to be so impatient, but my mother is too impatient. Someone once told her that female PhDs can't get married, and she listened to it. Since then, she's always been impatient with me.'"
Mu Yuan picked up a bunch of sour papaya shreds for her, and her cold features were tinged with a bit of gentleness: "Try to have a heart-to-heart talk with your aunt and let her know what you think. You are not resisting, but you just don't want to rush through this important matter of life. Maybe then your aunt won't force you to go on a blind date."
Zhou Yuanmei scratched her head and said, "You're right. I've never had a proper talk with her. It always ends in a quarrel."
She ate a piece of sour papaya shreds that Mu Yuan had picked for her, which was very appetizing. "By the way, Yuanyuan, why did you suddenly want to move?"
Mu Yuan pursed her lips, thinking of Huo Min's strange behavior today.
I always felt that he heard me say that I was moving out.
But no matter what, she can't move out for the time being.
"I'm not moving for now."
"Huh? Why?"
Mu Yuan was vague: "No reason, I just don't want to move for the time being."
Zhou Yuanmei: "Okay, then tell me when you want to move, and I'll go and help you."
"good."
Finish the meal.
Zhou Yuanmei took Mu Yuan on a shopping spree, and they were completely obsessed with material things.
He even forced Mu Yuan to buy a royal blue silk, figure-hugging, backless long skirt: "Yuanyuan, you have such a great figure and beauty, but you wear these dull T-shirts and jeans all day long, what a waste! Just consider this as my apology gift, and you should accept this skirt! When we go out to play in the future, you can wear it, don't be ashamed of your beauty!"
Mu Yuan couldn't resist her and was forced to do it.
The two walked around hand in hand, chatting and laughing for the whole afternoon.
Mu Yuan was worried that Zhou Yuanmei would send her home, so she didn't want to reveal her address to avoid being caught by Huo Min.
He made an excuse, saying that he had to go back to the laboratory, and left alone.
She had just walked out of the elevator lobby and was about to walk out of the corridor to catch a taxi at the taxi area outside on the first floor.
When we were almost at the corner.
I was startled by Gu Chenyi who suddenly walked out from the corner.
"Gu Chenyi?" She was surprised and couldn't figure out why this person was here.
The next second, he pulled her into the enclosed stairwell behind the fire safety door.
Mu Yuan frowned at the surprise in his handsome and unruly features and asked, "Why did you drag me in here?"
