Mu Xueyao vented her anger to her heart's content, but although she felt good, Chrisson said, "What do you lack compared to her? Ha, you lack everything!"
His eyes flashed with icy coldness. Suddenly, he grabbed her slender, white neck. "Don't you have any self-awareness? Bringing Mu Qingyun here at this critical moment, do you know what kind of impact it will have on your Capaqiong?"
"Forehead..."
Mu Xueyao struggled uncomfortably as her throat was being choked, trying to open her mouth, but ultimately unable to utter a single word.
Seeing the person roll their eyes and turn red in the face, Chris frowned in disgust and shoved the person against the bedside table next to them.
"ah!"
Her forehead touched the top of the cabinet, and she let out a painful gasp, then took a deep breath to ease the suffocating feeling in her throat.
"Someone like you, if you weren't still somewhat useful, I would have killed you after yesterday." Krissen sneered, turned and left without a second glance at Mu Xueyao.
......
"Hey, Brother Mu, why are you awake so early?"
When Ling Rui got home, she intended to wash up and go to rest, but when she turned her head, she found Mu Qingyun standing by the window, looking at the scenery below.
"It's getting late." Mu Qingyun heard the sound and turned to look. Ling Rui must have not slept all night, but she looked to be in good spirits.
"Sigh, okay, I'll go rest now. There's a party tonight." Ling Rui rubbed her temples, preparing to remove her makeup and freshen up.
"You party every day?" Mu Qingyun raised her eyebrows in confusion. She was very puzzled. Logically speaking, Ling Rui was a researcher. Even if she wasn't busy, she wouldn't go out to play every day.
"No, it's mainly because you're here." Ling Rui smiled and took out a makeup remover. She started talking to her while removing her makeup. "Wang felt that we sisters are separated by two planets all year round, so Wang gave me a week off so that I could spend more time with you."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun nodded in understanding.
After applying the ointment, Ling Rui went to wash her face. While she was washing, her phone rang.
"Brother Mu, can you answer this phone for me? I'm washing my face right now and can't answer it," Ling Rui called out as she cleaned the makeup remover off her face.
Mu Qingyun walked to the table, picked up the phone on it, glanced at the name on it, and raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Pervert?"
"Huh? Brother Mu, why are you swearing?" Ling Rui, who was washing her face, was stunned and asked incredulously.
All she did was ask someone to answer a phone call for her, so why are you calling her a "pervert"?
"Make a note of the caller ID." Mu Qingyun sighed helplessly and explained to Ling Rui.
This kid must have been playing all night and is so confused that he forgot his own phone's contact name.
Ling Rui's mind raced for a moment before she finally realized, "Oh, that's Chrison!"
Christon?
Mu Qingyun gripped her phone and instantly understood why Ling Rui had given her that nickname. Wasn't Chrisson just a pervert?
Just as I was mentally complaining, the sound of running water in the toilet stopped.
She looked up and saw Ling Rui running towards her, wiping her face with several washcloths.
Reaching out to take the phone from her hand, Ling Rui quickly swiped the screen and turned on the speakerphone, "Major Kerry, what's the matter?"
"Wang gave me a task today, asking me to take good care of Ling Fenghe. It just so happens that a well-known restaurant has opened a chain store, so I'll treat you two sisters to lunch at noon."
Lunch?
Mu Qingyun looked up and met Ling Rui's gaze. Both of them were puzzled. Why would Chrisson suddenly send them an invitation?
"Sorry, I played all night last night and I'm really dizzy and groggy. I appreciate your kindness, but I'll skip the dinner." Ling Rui refused directly. Although she didn't know what this guy was up to, she was sure he had ill intentions.
“Oh, I see. I asked around, and you were the only one who went out last night. In that case, I’ll invite Ling Fenghe over by herself.” Chrisson insisted.
“My sister needs to stay home to take care of me. Besides, I’m worried about my sister going out to eat with strangers right after she arrived here,” Ling Rui continued to politely decline.
But Chrisson wouldn't give up. "But this is an order from the king. After I finish eating, I need to take pictures to show the king. Or should I hire someone to take care of you? Besides, how can I be a stranger?"
Ling Rui pursed her lips, feeling somewhat annoyed. Chris had actually brought up the King. Although she knew the King wouldn't give Chris such an order, she couldn't very well ask the King about this issue.
Chrisson was indeed clever; he knew to use the king to pressure her at this moment.
"Can……"
"Minister Ling, do you have any other questions?"
If what came before was just a discussion, this statement is definitely threatening.
Mu Qingyun frowned, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
Judging from this, Chrisson was determined to invite her to dinner, but why did he want to invite her? Just yesterday when they met, he mocked her appearance, so logically he should have looked down on her.
Ling Rui looked at her, subtly asking if she wanted to go.
After thinking for a few seconds, she nodded and pointed to herself, indicating that she would go alone.
Upon seeing this, Ling Rui was taken aback, clearly guessing what she meant.
"No problem, but I do need to catch up on my sleep. So please come to my apartment building at noon to pick up my sister."
Ling Rui replied calmly, paused for a moment, and then added, "But Major, I must remind you, my sister is my only family. You had better take good care of her. If anything happens to her, I will definitely not let you off the hook."
"Don't worry, after dinner, I'll definitely take your sister back to you properly. If she's even slightly injured, I'll stand here and let you hit me, just to get revenge for you." Chrisson got the answer he wanted, and his tone was noticeably smug.
Ling Rui gave a casual reply and then hung up the phone.
"Brother Mu, why do you want to go alone? You're not familiar with this place, it'll be safer if I go with you." Actually, she wanted to ask when Mu Qingyun gestured to her earlier, but she was afraid that too much silence would arouse Christen's suspicion.
"It's alright. I know a bit about Chrisson. He suddenly invited me because he probably suspects me." Mu Qingyun rubbed her forehead, really not expecting to be targeted on the second day.
“Impossible. I hid it very well. None of Mytel’s many elites noticed it. How could he be the one to find out?” Ling Rui said, completely puzzled.
She started planning even before Mu Qingyun decided to come, and kept saying she wanted to bring her younger sister to live with her, since her sister couldn't get any information anyway.
Moreover, during her many years with Mytel, in order to conceal her identity, she genuinely helped Mytel develop some high-tech products.
Even her parents came to Mytel for her undercover plan and both sacrificed themselves for Mytel.
No matter who you suspect, you shouldn't suspect her!
