Chapter 170 The White Moonlight Who Died Early in the Substitute Novel (7)
"Musi'an, you bitch, you did this on purpose, didn't you!"
Jiang Ciyou finally couldn't hold back and started cursing hysterically. She slammed her phone hard on the ground, the crisp sound particularly jarring in the quiet room.
She paced back and forth in the room, as if she had lost all reason.
"You think you can beat me like this? You think these photos can scare me? So what if they're real? Aaaaaaahhhhh..." She cursed as she grabbed her hair in a self-destructive manner, as if that would vent her resentment.
After a long while, Jiang Ciyou gradually calmed down. She was panting heavily, and her eyes still held anger and resentment.
Mu Si'an, I underestimated you. I never expected that you knew about Pei Jinxiu and me all along. If she hadn't provoked her today, she wouldn't have known that she was just a clown in Mu Si'an's eyes!
I thought she was just a sickly girl, easy to bully, but I never expected her to have such a trick up her sleeve. Everything that happened today was exactly what she predicted. This time, she lost...
Jiang Ciyou knew full well that she had provoked the whole thing. If she went to tell Pei Jinxiu now, and he found out that she had provoked Mu Si'an first, given Pei Jinxiu's cold and ruthless nature, he might end their relationship in a fit of anger. She dared not gamble and could only swallow her anger, but the resentment in her heart just wouldn't dissipate.
Seeing that Jiang Ciyou had stopped moving, Canglan felt bored.
Just then, Mr. Mu returned from the company with a beaming smile.
Seeing Mr. Mu's overjoyed expression, Mrs. Mu immediately understood that the real estate project in Hai City must have yielded excellent results.
Once this project succeeds, the Mu family will be greatly enhanced, and their status in City B will undoubtedly reach a new level.
"Dad, you seem so happy. Does this mean the cooperation between the Mu Group and the Chen Group has been finalized?"
Father Mu nodded with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride: "Haha, that's right, An'an, this time we've finally gotten revenge for you. Just wait, that Pei family brat will need our help sooner or later, and when that happens, I'll make him pay for his actions!"
Cang Lan curled her lips slightly, a look of disgust on her face: "Why bring him up? I feel unlucky just hearing his name now."
“That’s right, honey, why are you bringing him up?” Mother Mu chimed in.
"Okay, okay, we won't mention him anymore. Let's eat."
Over the past few days, Canglan's parents have gradually adapted to her new state. The family of three sat together and enjoyed a harmonious dinner.
The next morning, Mr. Mu went to the company in high spirits, while Mrs. Mu made an appointment with her best friend to enjoy a beauty treatment.
Cang Lan, on the other hand, was quite relaxed, lounging on the sofa in the villa watching TV. A bodyguard rushed in and reported, "Miss, there's a man named Pei Jinxiu at the door who wants to see you. What do you think? Should I send him away?"
Immediately, Cang Lan's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and a barely perceptible cold glint flashed in her eyes. She slowly moved her slender wrist.
Then, she leaned back on the sofa in an extremely relaxed manner, looking exactly like a carefree old man, and said, "Let him in."
Since Pei Jinxiu has come to her door, she, as the hostess, must treat him well!
A short while later, Pei Jinxiu was brought in by the bodyguards. Inside the room, Cang Lan sat quietly on the sofa, her face appearing exceptionally gentle in the light streaming in from the window.
Pei Jinxiu spotted her at a glance. In that instant, he seemed to see Mu Si'an as a child, sitting obediently on the sofa waiting for him. The softest string in his heart was gently plucked, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Cang Lan raised her eyes, looking at Pei Jinxiu with a cold expression, and asked, "Mr. Pei, what do you want with me?"
Pei Jinxiu, however, assumed that Cang Lan was still angry that he hadn't contacted her for a month, and was just too embarrassed to admit it, so he quickly said, "An'an, I didn't mean to not come to see you these past few days. I don't remember anything after you slapped me that day. I... I bumped my head and it seems like I was hit by someone. Can you tell me what exactly happened that day?"
"I did the call!" Cang Lan replied seriously, even with a hint of innocence.
Pei Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a doting smile, "How is this possible, An'an? You've just recovered from a serious illness, how could you possibly beat me? Stop joking, what exactly happened that day?"
Seeing his disgusting appearance, Cang Lan felt a wave of nausea and rolled her eyes at him. "I already told you I hit him, but you still don't believe me. Aren't you just looking for trouble?"
Seeing this, Pei Jinxiu suppressed his displeasure and patiently said, "An'an, I've already told you..."
Cang Lan interrupted him without any politeness: "Don't you remember that I slapped you and that's why you fainted?"
Upon hearing this, his face gradually darkened. The memory of her slapping him unconscious was still vivid in his mind. He had been treated coldly by her time and time again, and he could no longer control his temper. He raised his voice and shouted, "An'an, what's wrong with you? You're talking in such a sarcastic way. You've become a completely different person since you came back from abroad!"
As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly realize something, his face turning extremely ugly, and he asked through gritted teeth, "Mu Si'an, have you fallen for another man? Was it him who hit me?"
Cang Lan was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, the sound echoing throughout the room. Pei Jinxiu's face grew increasingly ashen with her laughter, and he became more and more certain of his thoughts.
"You're getting impatient! You're getting impatient!" Cang Lan said mockingly while laughing.
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I'm not some scumbag who cheats on his girlfriend."
Pei Jinxiu felt a pang of guilt at these words, a flicker of unease crossing his eyes. Could it be that An'an had discovered something? But he quickly dismissed the thought. He had repeatedly emphasized to people in the industry that Mu Si'an must never know about his relationship with Jiang Ciyou; there was absolutely no way she could know.
Jiang Ciyou? She doesn't have the guts!
So, he forced himself to remain calm, trying his best to hide the panic in his eyes, and asked, "An'an, why are you suddenly bringing this up? You still haven't answered why you hit me?"
"Isn't it obvious that I slapped you? I want to break up with you, can't you even see that?"
Pei Jinxiu's eyes turned cold, his brows furrowed, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Mu Si'an, you'd better think carefully before you speak. I don't fall for that kind of playing hard to get. If you challenge my bottom line again, I'll take it as a real breakup. At that time, don't expect me to soften my heart. You'll have to bear all the consequences yourself."
"Oh my, who are you trying to impress with this act of being so affectionate? I just went abroad and you were already sleeping with other women, and one who even looks like me."
Are you out of your mind? Are you so desperate for love that you've gone mad? Or are you just so lonely that you have to do *that* kind of thing?
"In the end, aren't you just a worthless person who can't control his lower body?"
