Chapter 738 Childhood Sweetheart Marries Her Brother in Revenge, Then Regrets It (16)

Lu's office building.

After finishing a meeting, Lu Chen picked up his phone.

The chat page had many new messages, but none of them were from Mu Zhou.

He adjusted his glasses, calmly put down his phone, and continued working.

Just as his secretary was about to bring him the meal as usual at the end of the workday, she saw that he was already preparing to leave.

The secretary was astonished.

It's not even 6 o'clock yet, and President Lu is already leaving get off work?

The sun rises from the west?

Lu Chen glanced at her, then calmly put on his coat.

"I'm leaving get off work first, you guys should get ready to leave too."

"Yes, Mr. Lu, I'll have the driver prepare it."

The secretary hurriedly went to make the contact.

On the way back, Lu Chen replied to emails as usual, as if everything was normal.

Until he got off the bus, something seemed to have occurred to him, and he became impatient.

Only when the door opened and the dimly lit room was completely dark did he realize that Mu Zhou was no longer there.

Lu Chen stood in the entryway for a long time, until his face gradually turned cold, before slowly closing the door.

Next to the shoe cabinet were Mu Zhou's beige slippers.

On the tea table was a glass of leftover lemonade that Mu Zhou had placed there.

Her traces are everywhere.

But she wasn't there.

Lu Chen sat on the sofa, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his face cold and stern.

He didn't return to his bedroom until it was completely dark outside.

Have you been enjoying Mexican food lately?

Mu Zhou looked at the message sent by Lu Chen and read it for a moment with great interest.

She remembered that she posted on her WeChat Moments yesterday that she wanted to eat Mexican food.

So, he went through her WeChat Moments?

Mu Zhou thought this way, so he asked directly.

How did you know? Did you sneak a peek at my WeChat Moments?

She was clearly teasing him on purpose, but he was very frank:

Yes, I saw your WeChat Moments. There's a really authentic one in the Chengxi Building. Do you have time tonight?

Mu Zhou nodded silently.

Yes, there is progress.

This could be considered the first time Lu Chen had taken the initiative to ask her out.

Instead of remaining reserved, they spoke their minds directly.

but……

She's not that easy to get a date with.

Mu Zhou tapped the screen a few times and then put his phone away.

On the other side, Lu Chen looked at his phone screen with a focused and serious expression.

Soon, the dialog box displayed new content.

It's a picture and a sentence.

[I'm a step too late! A friend invited me out right after I posted on WeChat Moments, but we've already eaten.]

The accompanying picture shows a corn tortilla.

Lu Chen pursed his lips, his eyes filled with annoyance.

Actually, he saw it after Mu Zhou posted it on WeChat Moments last night.

I hesitated and struggled for just one night, but I didn't expect to be a step too late.

Lu Chen felt a strange tightness in his chest.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to use the method he was best at to arrange a meeting with Mu Zhou.

There's a business event tonight that happens to be related to a new project your company is currently developing. Do you have time to attend?

About a minute later, he received Mu Zhou's reply.

Okay, then come pick me up.

He breathed a sigh of relief:

【it is good. 】

Besides holding the title of general manager of the family company, Mu Zhou also founded several other companies.

It's a completely different business from what I do at home.

Fortunately, Lu Chen could provide some assistance.

Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Fortunately, Mu Zhou was also a person with ambition.

Otherwise, someone as dull and mature as him would probably not get any attention from her.

Lu Chen was smart this time after all.

He arrived early, which gave him the opportunity to have dinner with Mu Zhou.

Just as the two were about to leave after their meal, Lu Ting suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He looked at Mu Zhou, his expression showing a hint of hesitation, but more than anything, disappointment.

“Zhouzhou, I really didn’t expect you to do this. I already said I would arrange for Jiang Wanqing to leave, why did you still have to be so ruthless? I never knew you were such a heartless person.”

Mu Zhou wasn't angry at all, nor did she look at him. Instead, she took Lu Chen's arm and said in a coquettish and slightly annoyed tone:

“Honey, look at your brother, he doesn’t respect me at all. He doesn’t even respect me as his sister-in-law.”

Lu Chen patted her hand in response:

“I will teach him a lesson and make him respect you.”

Mu Zhou leaned his head on his shoulder.

"My husband is so good."

The two of them were showing off their affection without regard for anyone else, which made Lu Ting so angry that he trembled all over.

He clenched his fists tightly:

"you……"

Lu Ting gritted his teeth, his voice tense.

He was both angry that Mu Zhou was close to Lu Chen and resentful that she didn't care about his accusations.

He thought that Mu Zhou would be heartbroken and angry after he said those words.

But to everyone's surprise, she didn't care at all.

Has he really become insignificant to her?

While he was still reeling from being ignored by Mu Zhou, Lu Chen coldly said to him:

“I was the one who sent her away. She spoke rudely to Mu Zhou, so naturally I couldn’t stand idly by.”

Lu Ting opened his mouth, but remained stubborn:

"She doesn't understand anything. She was just upset about losing the project, so she was a little anxious. Brother, how could you be so harsh?"

"Heavy?"

Lu Chen gave a curt, emotionless smile.

"I only sent her to the Y country branch to prevent her from appearing in front of Mu Zhou. If I really took action, do you think you would still have any news about her?"

Lu Ting choked up.

He knew that Lu Chen was right.

But he still refused to accept it:

"Country Y is just a small Southeast Asian country with a backward economy and poor security. How can a girl like her stand there alone?"

“If you can’t stand it, you can quit. I didn’t force her.”

Lu Chen's calm tone was tinged with a hint of coldness.

Even if she resigns, she won't be able to return to Beijing.

Mu Zhou didn't say another word throughout the entire process, but simply watched the confrontation between the two brothers silently.

It wasn't until Lu Chen was about to take her away that Lu Ting couldn't help but say:

"Zhouzhou, even now you still won't believe me, right? You're convinced that Jiang Wanqing and I have an affair, and you just won't give me a shred of trust?!"

His eyes were filled with anger. He couldn't understand why, after so many years of relationship with Mu Zhou, she was so convinced that he had cheated on her.

Mu Zhou stopped and raised an eyebrow:

"Yes, I really don't believe you're completely innocent. Besides, even if you didn't do it, you've already crossed that line in your hearts."

Seeing that he wanted to explain, Mu Zhou cut him off again:

"Don't tell me you don't know Jiang Wanqing likes you. You know perfectly well, but you still take extra care of her and allow her to get close. Isn't that enjoying this kind of silent, devoted love? What are you pretending for?"

Mu Zhou scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain.

Lu Ting frowned:

"Jiang Wanqing likes me? Don't talk nonsense. Our relationship is completely innocent. She's only doing this for work..."

Mu Zhou waved his hand impatiently:

"Alright, alright, you're both innocent. Is it alright for me to judge you with my own petty mind?"

Her blatant sarcasm made Lu Ting so angry that his chest ached.

Watching her and Lu Chen leave, Lu Ting thought that he would definitely prove to Mu Zhou that Jiang Wanqing did not like him.

She misunderstood.

He called his assistant:

"Book me a plane ticket, I want to go to Country Y."
