Chapter 824 The Orphan Girl Deceived by the Pretending-to-Be-Poor CEO (9)
Although the people at the table did not speak, they all began brainstorming.
However, this brand is a top-tier skiwear brand, and most people who have the money would choose it.
Many girls choose pink, so it's not surprising.
Gu Huaizhou is alluring and charming. He usually dresses in a flamboyant way, leaving a few buttons undone, and he has no taboos about colors.
It seems only natural that he would choose pink.
It was just a coincidence.
That's how they comforted themselves.
Gu Huaizhou glanced indifferently at the boy who had spoken, his tone slightly cold:
“I noticed that you and the cleaning staff are wearing matching outfits.”
Everyone instinctively looked at the cleaning man standing to the side.
Indeed, both of them were wearing the same fluorescent green.
With a "pfft," everyone burst into laughter.
The boy blushed, but dared not refute.
He lowered his head in frustration, feeling somewhat regretful.
He's gone mad, daring to make fun of Gu Huaizhou.
The topic was changed, and someone asked how Mu Zhou was doing in his studies.
Mu Zhou answered truthfully.
The atmosphere gradually improved.
On the way back, Cheng Wenjing took the initiative to walk to Mu Zhou's side.
"Mu Zhou, if I had known you couldn't ski, I would have taught you. You must have suffered a lot because of Huai Zhou's temper."
Mu Zhou shook her head, her smile somewhat sweet:
"No, Gu Huaizhou is a very nice person. He is very professional and teaches very carefully."
Gu Huaizhou approached and happened to overhear this.
He raised his eyebrows.
They're not entirely ungrateful.
Cheng Wenjing's mood became somewhat unpleasant.
She didn't recover until Xiang Ze returned after dark.
As soon as Xiang Ze returned, he went to the kitchen and got a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea. He went upstairs without even saying goodbye to her.
Needless to say, it's definitely going to Mu Zhou.
She tightened her grip on her fingers.
However, a short while later, Xiang Ze returned with the bowl of tea intact.
Her eyes flickered slightly as she stepped forward.
"Why was it brought back again?"
Xiang Ze then noticed her and managed a weak smile.
“The baby said she was a little sleepy and didn’t want to drink these before bed.” But he quickly came to terms with it and comforted himself, “But she already drank some during the day, so it’s normal that she doesn’t want to drink any more.”
Cheng Wenjing couldn't stand him like this.
She asked tentatively:
"Xiao Ze, is Mu Zhou still bothered by what happened before? I always feel like she's deliberately making things difficult for you and throwing a tantrum."
Xiang Ze sighed:
"Maybe so. During the time we made up, she was indeed a bit moody. But it's good that she's still willing to be stubborn; at least it gives me a chance to make amends."
Xiang Ze had never been wary of Cheng Wenjing, and he revealed all his worries without reservation.
“I’m just afraid that she’ll ignore me and refuse to see me like before. I really can’t accept that.”
He looked at Cheng Wenjing, his eyes filled with regret:
"Sister Wenjing, I really regret it. I shouldn't have hidden my identity and tried to test her. Mu Zhou is not that kind of person at all."
Cheng Wenjing was at a loss for words.
The Xiang Ze before me was a complete stranger.
He had his concerns at first, but in just six months, he trusted Mu Zhou completely.
She frowned in disapproval:
"How can I blame you? After all, there's a huge difference in your social status. It's perfectly normal for you to have concerns, and besides..."
She paused, softening her tone:
"Compared to her efforts, the rewards she's received have far exceeded them. If it were her, she probably wouldn't have earned a million until she was old, but now she can do it so easily..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiang Ze interrupted her:
"Wenjing, please don't say these things anymore. The baby will definitely be unhappy if he hears them."
He was still somewhat shaken.
He was genuinely afraid when it came to money.
Seeing his expression, Cheng Wenjing was furious, but she still had to remain gentle.
She smiled:
“I feel sorry for you too. You’ve been busy all day, and as soon as you get back, you’re worried about her health. But she doesn’t appreciate it at all, not even a sip of water.”
She caught a glimpse of Xiang Ze's eyes darkening for a moment, and then a subtle smile played at the corners of his lips:
"Okay, I won't say anything more. I'll go back and rest now."
As soon as she went upstairs, she saw Mu Zhou standing at the end of the stairs, looking at her with a half-smile.
Her heart skipped a beat, but after a moment she remembered that she couldn't hear the conversation downstairs from here, so she calmly smiled and nodded.
Watching her leave, Mu Zhou scoffed lightly.
Cheng Wenjing's tireless efforts to sow discord and say those ambiguous things don't mean she likes Xiang Ze or Gu Huaizhou.
Rather, it's that she has a possessive desire for both of them, or for all her "younger brothers and sisters."
She considered herself an older sister or elder. And those people respected her.
Therefore, when looking at the partners of these younger siblings, it's inevitable to have a critical mindset like a mother-in-law.
She doesn't like men who are too poor in terms of conditions, nor does she like men who are of bad character.
Even things that could too easily affect their emotions are not acceptable.
As a trustworthy elder, she needs to carefully oversee things.
Anyone who starts a relationship has to get past her.
Almost everyone's partner will try their best to please her.
Only then would she be satisfied.
She already felt that Mu Zhou was not good enough for Xiang Ze, let alone the fact that Xiang Ze later became so infatuated with her.
They were even somewhat obsequious.
Just like a mother-in-law who feels like she's "heartbroken" when she sees her son and daughter-in-law being too close.
She felt panicked.
That's why he couldn't help but nitpick at Xiang Ze.
She had to make sure that she was number one in Xiang Ze's heart.
Mu Zhou glanced at Xiang Ze, who was sitting there in a daze, seemingly lost in thought, and his eyes darkened slightly.
This time, although he refuted Cheng Wenjing's words, it doesn't mean he will always be so firm.
He even took Cheng Wenjing's words to heart.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting there silently in a daze.
*
Xiang Ze was in a car accident.
It's not too serious, but his leg injury is severe, and he's currently in the hospital.
After receiving the news, Mu Zhou went to the hospital.
When she arrived, there were many people standing outside the ward.
The Xiang family was also there.
Mu Zhou blended in with Xiang Ze's group of friends, and no one noticed him.
Everyone was waiting outside the ward, where the doctor was changing the dressing.
Her original intention was to wait until some of the Xiang family members left before speaking to Xiang Ze alone.
Cheng Wenjing glanced at her, her eyes shifting slightly, and gently pushed her:
"Mu Zhou, you're here. You'll be able to go in and see Xiao Ze in a bit. He definitely wants to see you right now."
Her words immediately drew the attention of the Xiang family.
Two older-looking men and women glanced over indifferently, looked at Mu Zhou briefly, and then quickly looked away.
A few of the younger ones looked at her casually, their faces showing curiosity.
Cheng Wenjing readily accepted the task that had been introduced to her.
"Uncle and Aunt, this is Mu Zhou, Xiao Ze's girlfriend."
Then they introduced themselves to Mu Zhou as Xiang Ze's parents.
The Xiang family's gaze became even more subtle.
Mu Zhou gave Cheng Wenjing a meaningful look, but didn't stop her from talking.
