Chapter 781 The Sister Who Was Shackled Because She Wasn't Sent Away (6)
Fu Ci's gaze swept over Mu Zhou, and after noticing her rather thin coat, he spoke in a calm tone:
"He won't even buy you a decent piece of clothing? Programmers at Huaying Technology don't earn low salaries."
Mu Zhou subconsciously glanced at his clothes, then awkwardly tightened his coat.
She kept her head down and didn't say anything.
Fu Ci, however, gently lifted her chin, lifting her face to meet her gaze:
"say."
His gaze fell on her lips.
Her pink lips parted slightly, but ultimately remained silent.
He swallowed hard, his voice strained:
What did you see in him?
Mu Zhou remained silent, his gaze slightly unfocused.
A wave of dissatisfaction swept through Fu Ci's heart:
"Break up with him."
His tone was stern, leaving no room for refusal.
Mu Zhou could no longer pretend to be stupid.
The scorching heat slowly approached, and panic flashed in her eyes; her voice trembled.
"Mr. Fu, about my relationship with Huo Xiaoyun..."
"Don't mention his name."
Mu Zhou's cautious and delicate demeanor failed to soften Fu Ci's heart; instead, it stirred up the wickedness in his heart.
He lowered his head to kiss him.
Mu Zhou instinctively dodged and began to struggle fiercely.
Fu Ci easily trapped her, pinning her to the seat.
He looked down at her.
Those soft eyes were misty, and the red blush at the corners of them added a touch of delicate allure.
Her already loose hair had spread out, messily covering the black leather seat.
Watching a tear roll down her cheek, Fu Ci's Adam's apple bobbed, but he ultimately decided not to scare her any further.
He got up and sat up, putting his arm around her waist.
He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, soothing her in a calm tone:
"Why are you crying? It's not your time to cry yet."
Mu Zhou blushed, and closed her eyes in embarrassment and annoyance, refusing to look at him.
At this moment, she nestled in Fu Ci's arms and dared not struggle, for fear of accidentally provoking him again.
The car eventually stopped downstairs at Mu Zhou's building.
The rain has stopped.
After being released, she opened the car door and ran away without looking back.
Watching her flee in disarray once again, Fu Ci's expression was ambiguous.
Fu Ci had already seen her long before the event in the convention hall had ended.
Her smile was gentle as she earnestly explained the brochure to the customer.
Perhaps it was her beautiful face, or perhaps it was her approachable personality, but in any case, she was always surrounded by the most people.
Fu Ci was inexplicably dissatisfied.
It was as if his person was being coveted.
At the same time, I couldn't help but despise Huo Xiaoyun.
He made his woman do such hard work?
Even if her education level isn't high, Huo Xiaoyun's salary wouldn't be a problem supporting her.
If you put in a little effort, you could use some connections to find her an easy job.
Why make her suffer like this?
Standing all day, constantly talking and introducing things.
Huo Xiaoyun is really willing to spend money.
If it were him...
Fu Ci narrowed his eyes.
He was well aware of his own thoughts.
Although this feeling was unfamiliar and I had never experienced it before, I wasn't that averse to it.
His family had many children in the previous generation, and in his generation, every family outwardly had only one son or one daughter, but who didn't know that in private?
A dozen or so children were vying for power and profit.
His family revered a cutthroat, wolf-like mentality, and he was the one who successfully fought his way out.
His guiding principle since childhood is: if you want something, you get it.
The same applies to Mu Zhou.
As for her having a boyfriend, that was never a problem for him.
Blame it on her own accident that day.
This piqued his interest in her.

Mu Zhou glanced at the calendar.
Today is the day Shen Yan will be released in Luoshi.
They should meet tomorrow.
However, she has other things to do right now.
At this point, Fu Ci's favorability rating had risen to 29%.
There is still room for improvement.
Mu Zhou, dressed in a casual tank top and a cardigan, went out carrying a trash bag.
The elevator doors opened, and Huo Xiaoyun and his colleagues stepped out.
Including Fu Ci.
Both sides were surprised.
One of Mu Zhou's colleagues couldn't help but point at her:
"You're Huo Xiaoyun's girlfriend, right?"
Everyone looked surprised yet understanding.
It turns out they were already living together.
Fu Ci's expression also turned noticeably cold.
He knew that the two of them had rented their own apartments.
But since they live so close, who knows whose house they actually live in?
Seeing Mu Zhou's domestic side in particular, his face darkened even more.
Huo Xiaoyun sees this side of himself every day.
Suddenly faced with so many people, Mu Zhou was a little stunned. Huo Xiaoyun subconsciously explained:
"Mu Zhou and I are neighbors; we live across the hall from each other."
Since it was a private matter, no one said anything more.
Everyone invited Mu Zhou to join the dinner party.
It turns out that everyone had planned to go out for dinner today, and since they had been to other colleagues' homes before, some people suggested going to Huo Xiaoyun's place instead.
Huo Xiaoyun agreed.
Originally, it was just a private get-together between a few close colleagues, only four or five people.
What surprised everyone was that when Fu Ci passed by after get off work, Huo Xiaoyun, out of respect for the boss, extended an invitation, and to everyone's surprise, Fu Ci agreed.
Once the big boss agreed, the department head and other people in the department also came.
"Hello Mu Zhou, I tried your hawthorn pills last time, they were really delicious. Let's have hot pot together, we've already bought all the ingredients."
A female colleague warmly invited her.
Mu Zhou stood there awkwardly; without even looking, Fu Ci's piercing gaze was definitely fixed on her.
Huo Xiaoyun was completely unaware of the slight abnormality and also tried to persuade Mu Zhou.
After all, they are now "lovers," so it wouldn't be appropriate for her not to show up.
Seeing Huo Xiaoyun's pleading look, Mu Zhou had no choice but to "reluctantly" agree.

This building has three apartments per floor, with the apartments on the two sides being larger and the middle ones being smaller, only about 40 square meters.
Huo Xiaoyun bought a corner unit of 140 square meters, and even with more than ten people visiting, it didn't feel crowded.
Colleagues visited his home:
"Your apartment layout is great, with a large living room, floor-to-ceiling windows, a large balcony, and a good view."
“The apartments in this complex are nice. I have a friend who lives here, but it’s a middle unit, so it’s very small. After deducting the common area, it’s probably only about 30 square meters, but it’s just right for one person.”
Mu Zhou rented a middle-sized apartment.
As everyone discussed the house, Fu Ci sat on the sofa, his face looking rather grim.
Huo Xiaoyun was handing him a beer when he was caught off guard by Huo Xiaoyun's cold gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.
His back stiffened slightly, and he instinctively made an excuse to avoid it.
Fu Ci couldn't help but sneer as he watched him pathetically run to Mu Zhou's side and pour her juice.
Was Mu Zhou misled by such a costless benefit?
Huo Xiaoyun lives in a big house himself and wouldn't even rent her a nicer one.
Fu Ci lowered his eyes, suddenly feeling angry for no reason.
She deserves better.

The broth boils, and everyone eats hot pot or drinks.
Mu Zhou sat there quietly, a smile playing on his lips, listening silently to everyone's conversation.
After a while, she got up to wash her hands.
Fu Ci raised his eyes and put down the can of beer in his hand.
