Chapter 732 Childhood Sweetheart Marries Her Brother in Revenge, Then Regrets It (10)

Before boarding, Mu Zhou sent Lu Chen a message:

Grandpa said that after you come back, we should go back to see him to discuss his birthday celebration.

Lu Chen was probably busy and didn't reply immediately. Mu Zhou didn't care and simply put his phone away.

As she got up to board the plane, she suddenly saw two familiar figures in the crowd.

She stood there motionless until Lu Ting saw her.

He was initially delighted, but then realized something and his expression turned panicked.

He walked quickly to Mu Zhou's side:

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't intentionally go on a business trip with Jiang Wanqing. The branch manager had something come up at the last minute, and this project is very important, so there can't be any mistakes. Jiang Wanqing is the person who knows the project best besides the general manager."

He didn't have time to say anything before explaining the situation, just in case Mu Zhou suddenly got angry and started making a scene.

But Mu Zhou wasn't angry as he had imagined; instead, he looked at him calmly.

"Lu Ting, you make me feel very fortunate."

"……what?"

Lu Ting didn't understand, and his expression froze for a moment.

I only heard Mu Zhou say again:

"To be honest, your promise did waver me at first, and I decided to believe you. I was even prepared to have a serious talk with your brother, but unfortunately..."

She chuckled softly, the helplessness in her eyes gradually transforming into a serene expression.

“Even before today, I was struggling with whether I would regret giving up my past relationship with you. However, your actions have not disappointed me. Now I am convinced that maintaining this marriage with your brother is the right choice.”

It took Lu Ting a moment to realize that Mu Zhou was implying that he was once again entangled with Jiang Wanqing, which violated his original promise.

She was very disappointed, so she decided to give up, and was also glad that she hadn't forgiven him.

No, that's not true.

He was just working...

Lu Ting looked flustered and grabbed her hand, trying to stop her from leaving.

"Zhouzhou, you can't sentence me so easily. Even if I go to court, I can at least say something in my defense. Why won't you even give me a chance to defend myself?"

Mu Zhou stopped and looked at him:

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain. Go ahead and say it."

Lu Ting's eyes lit up with joy, and he began to explain.

He explained the details of the last art exhibition and the importance of this project.

He also hinted that the reason he was with Jiang Wanqing today was because he failed to buy the painting "Blood Red" last time, which caused his collaboration with Ace to fall through and he had to find another partner.

As he explained, he became increasingly self-righteous.

Mu Zhou could naturally tell what she meant, and she sneered:

"So that's your reason? How many talented people does your company have, how many difficult problems have they solved, and yet none of them can compare to Jiang Wanqing?"

Just because Mu Zhou didn't say these things doesn't mean she didn't know them.

"Jiang Wanqing is someone who has only been out of school for a short time, and her career has only included a brief stint as a secretary. How did she suddenly become a project manager and take on so many important responsibilities after joining the branch office? Who gave her that opportunity?"

Lu Ting's face stiffened, and he dared not look directly at Mu Zhou.

Yes, he had given instructions to the branch manager.

Because he felt sorry for Jiang Wanqing.

In order to quell Mu Zhou's anger, Jiang Wanqing had to be sacrificed. Although Lu Ting felt that Mu Zhou was more important, he also felt that he needed to make compensation to the innocent Jiang Wanqing.

When she was suddenly transferred to a branch office, Lu Ting was afraid that she would be subjected to gossip or feel wronged, so he gave her a few more instructions.

Moreover, it's because Jiang Wanqing is truly capable; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to do these things well.

Lu Ting did not believe that he had ever given her any special treatment.

However, it cannot be denied that precisely because of this, Jiang Wanqing received excellent treatment at the branch office, and all matters involving the head office were handled by her.

This is also why, in the original storyline, she always managed to have work-related interactions with Lu Ting later on.

Now that Mu Zhou had laid everything bare, Lu Ting was at a loss for words.

He could only repeat:

“Zhouzhou, why do you have to get hung up on these trivial details? Jiang Wanqing has been transferred to a branch office, and you've already gained the upper hand. You should know that you're the most important person in my heart. Stop making a fuss, okay?”

He almost explicitly said that Mu Zhou was too noisy and unreasonable.

He also subtly implied that he had cooperated even if she was being unreasonable, so what else could she possibly be dissatisfied with?

Mu Zhou was naturally unaffected by this kind of manipulation. She scoffed and glanced at Jiang Wanqing, who was hiding behind Lu Ting, before looking away.

"In the end, you just don't think you're wrong. You think there's nothing wrong with your relationship with Jiang Wanqing, so you're trying to make it up to her, right? Fine, we have different values, so let's not waste any more time on this."

She put on sunglasses, and her appearance returned to its unapproachable state.

"Next time you see me, remember to call me sister-in-law."

He then turned around and boarded the plane with a flourish.

Lu Ting wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the staff and could only watch helplessly as Mu Zhou left.

Mu Zhou's last words almost made him lose his composure.

How could he possibly regard Mu Zhou as his sister-in-law?

That was the girl he had loved for over ten years.

In fact, Mu Zhou's words really struck a chord with him.

Those assurances weren't attempts to make amends because he genuinely believed he was wrong, but rather because he knew they would appease Mu Zhou.

The sole purpose was to win Mu Zhou back.

He stood there, his handsome face showing signs of dejection.

Jiang Wanqing felt sorry for him.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Mu may have just been angry for a moment. In the future, I will try my best to avoid being with you."

Lu Ting remained silent, his mind churning.

Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but feel indignant on his behalf:

"Actually, Miss Mu has really made a big fuss this time. People in the branch office are also talking about you and her. Everyone knows she's your girlfriend, and suddenly she's become your sister-in-law. What will outsiders think of you..."

"enough!"

Lu Ting's face turned somewhat ugly; the words "sister-in-law" were practically a slap in the face.

He quickly left the boarding gate.

Jiang Wanqing felt a little wronged when he suddenly scolded her, but when she thought that Mu Zhou had already married Lu Chen, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.

Perhaps, she still has a chance.

Mu Zhou successfully delivered the painting and even met with Ace.

Although Ace, with his abilities, must have already seen the best doctors in the world, Mu Zhou still used his connections to introduce a team.

When Ace saw the smile on his daughter's face as she admired the painting, he couldn't help but tear up.

After his daughter fell ill, he was so busy looking for various medical teams in hopes of prolonging her life that he forgot to think about anything else.

Now it seems he should ask his daughter what regrets she still has that she wants to fulfill.

Therefore, he was very grateful to Mu Zhou.

The two chatted for a while longer before Mu Zhou left.

After finishing her work, she gave her team a day off, while she herself went to the neighboring city of L.

The land sank there.
