Chapter 796 The Sister Who Was Shackled Because She Wasn't Sent Away (21)
Mu Zhou was led by Fu Ci to the outer hall.
Just as he was about to leave, Mu Zhou shook his arm, and when he stopped, looked up at him:
"Don't you have any questions for me? They, they..."
Her voice was timid, tinged with a sense of panic.
Fu Ci felt a sudden emptiness in his heart. He swallowed hard and placed his large hand on her cheek.
As he lightly rubbed his fingers together, his voice became tight and hoarse:
"These things aren't urgent, let's go back first."
Mu Zhou's tense shoulders relaxed slightly.
But then he remembered that he had just arrived and hadn't even had a chance to greet the host, so he shook his head.
"You should tell General Manager Zhu and the others; they've already come all this way."
Seeing that she was still thinking about other things, Fu Ci chuckled and flicked her nose with his finger:
"He's nowhere near as important as you."
The relaxed tone dispelled the somber atmosphere, and Mu Zhou placed his other hand on the hand that was holding his, giving it a slight shake:
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you in the car. I'm not that fragile."
Although Mr. Zhu's company is not as powerful as the Fu family's, it is still an old company that has been entrenched in Luoshi for decades, a local power like a snake.
This courtesy should always be given.
Fu Ci wanted to tell her not to worry about those things, but looking at Mu Zhou's stubborn little face, he was afraid that she would be under too much psychological pressure, so he could only settle her down:
"I'll be right back. If you want something to eat, have the housekeeper make it first."
Mu Zhou nodded, smiling with pursed lips:
"go quickly."
As soon as Fu Ci left, Mu Zhou received a message from his mother.
It seems that it was Mu's father who urged her to make the contact.
Naturally, the parents' attitude immediately changed completely.
Seeing her caring words in the message, Mu Zhou felt no emotion and naturally did not reply.
She closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat.
Until the car window was knocked on.
On the other side, Fu Ci was preoccupied with Mu Zhou, so after finding President Zhu, presenting the gift, exchanging a few simple pleasantries, he prepared to leave.
He took out his phone, called his assistant, and instructed him to thoroughly investigate Mu Zhou and Mu Jiazai.
At the time, he only had a basic understanding of Mu Zhou and knew nothing about her past.
Now, seeing how the Mu family treats her...
A strong sense of hostility gathered in Fu Ci's eyes.
It seems necessary to understand this thoroughly.
I can't just let my girl be bullied.
Thinking of the helplessness on Mu Zhou's face, he frowned with a cold expression and quickened his pace.
Before I could even leave the house, I heard the rapid sound of high heels behind me.
The clattering noise annoyed him.
He frowned impatiently.
The next second, a young girl stood in front of him.
The girl was panting, and her cheeks flushed when she saw him.
Fu Ci had a good memory and instantly remembered who the person in front of him was.
Shen Yan's fiancée, the one who just stood with the Mu family.
The Mu family's...adopted daughter?
He narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips impatiently.
A sharp, cold gaze fell upon her, and Lin Xi's heart raced; even her voice trembled.
"Mr. Fu, I am Lin Xi. We have met before. I would like to talk to you about Mu Zhou. Are you her current boyfriend?"
Lin Xi knew that Fu Ci had a bad temper, so she mentioned Mu Zhou to prevent him from ignoring her and leaving directly.
She did indeed succeed; Fu Ci no longer treated her as if she were nothing, as he had before.
A good start.
A surge of excitement rose in Lin Xi's heart.
She brushed a stray hair behind her ear, her voice now more charming and teasing:
"I never expected that my sister's boyfriend, whom she had been hiding all this time, was actually Mr. Fu. No wonder she has been arguing with the family and refusing to come back all these years. I even said that she has no education and has been pampered since childhood, so how could she adapt to life outside? It turns out that she has Mr. Fu supporting her."
Her words sound like a little girl teasing her older sister after learning about her relationship, but upon closer examination, one can discern the deeper meaning.
Based on Mu Zhou's new job and the apartment he had rented before, Lin Xi roughly deduced that Mu Zhou and Fu Ci had only been dating for a short time.
So, who supported her before?
Lin Xi hadn't had time to investigate properly, but that wasn't important.
The important thing is that she wants to put a bad word to Mu Zhou in Fu Ci's eyes, to let him know that a pampered girl like Mu Zhou cannot survive without her at home.
If it's not Fu Ci, then there must be another man involved.
Whether it's true or false, as long as Fu Ci has even the slightest suspicion about Mu Zhou, her goal will be achieved.
Lin Xi raised her head slightly, looking at the perfect and powerful man in front of her.
His features were so exquisite that they seemed to have been sculpted with a craft knife.
Every stroke is a masterpiece of the Creator.
She was captivated by what she saw, which strengthened her resolve to take him away.
"Mr. Fu, when do you have time? Let's have a meal together so our families can get to know each other properly."
Upon hearing this, Fu Ci gave a slight, emotionless smile.
He didn't answer her question, but instead gave an evaluation:
"Many women have tried to seduce me, but you're the lowest of the low."
In an instant, Lin Xi's expression changed.
It's like being slapped in public, having your outer shell peeled off to expose your filthiest inner self, and then being paraded around like that.
I felt utterly ashamed.
How could Fu Ci say such vicious things?
She suppressed her emotions and stubbornly said:
"Mr. Fu, what are you saying... I am Mu Zhou's sister. I just wanted to talk to you out of politeness. How could you insult my character like this?"
Fu Ci sneered, glanced at his watch, and said impatiently:
"Get out of my way. If you waste another second, I'll make you regret it."
The sinister voice sent a shiver down Lin Xi's spine, and she instinctively took a step back.
Fu Ci strode away.
His coldness angered Lin Xi, and the word "low-class" made her even more embarrassed after she realized it.
Fu Ci saw right through her.
In a moment of panic, she changed tactics and called out to his retreating figure:
"Why do you think I came to find you? I'm afraid you'll be deceived by Mu Zhou! That kind of fickle woman isn't worth it at all. Do you know that while she was dating you, she was also seducing Shen Yan?"
Lin Xi chased after him, unwilling to give up, and continued:
“She and Shen Yan were childhood sweethearts and even dated. Later they broke up, and Shen Yan and I got engaged. In a fit of anger, she ran away from home. To get revenge, she kept seducing Shen Yan and trying to get him to break off our engagement. Mu Zhou has been two-timing you! She doesn’t deserve your kindness at all.”
Lin Xi said it all in one breath.
Lin Xi was delighted to notice that Fu Ci paused for a moment.
She caught up with him and was about to continue speaking when several men in black suits walked towards them.
The group consisted of both men and women, all of them strong and imposing.
Fu Ci spoke expressionlessly:
“Teach her a lesson, then drag her to the Mu family and make them discipline their daughter.”
Before Lin Xi could understand what was happening, the group of men in suits grabbed her and twisted her hands behind her back.
"Ah..." A sharp pain shot through her, and her eyes widened instantly. "Mr. Fu, what are you doing? You can't do this to me!"
Fu Ci cast a cold glance at him:
"I warned you."
He said that if she wasted even a second of his time, she would regret it.
He does what he says.
