Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 826 The Orphan Girl Deceived by the Pretending-to-Be-Poor CEO (11)

On the way, Mu Zhou learned that the employee and Xiang Ze were in the same hospital.

She first took the child to the ward, hired a caregiver, and settled the child in before leaving.

Turning around, she saw that Gu Huaizhou was still following her.

Are you going to see Xiang Ze too?

He was taken aback, then remembered that Xiang Ze had been in a car accident and was hospitalized, so he nodded.

In the ward, Xiang Ze was trying to persuade his aunt, praising Mu Zhou, when Mu Zhou and Gu Huaizhou pushed open the door and came in.

His eyes lit up instantly when he saw Mu Zhou.

"Baby, you're here."

He reached out to Mu Zhou, who stepped forward and grasped his hand.

Gu Huaizhou narrowed his eyes, a sudden surge of irritation rising in his chest that he couldn't suppress.

So much so that when Xiang Qin spoke to him, he remained indifferent.

Xiang Qin didn't pay any attention.

That's just how he's always been; high society etiquette has never mattered to him.

She kept talking about how long it had been since they last saw each other.

Gu Huaizhou's gaze remained fixed on Mu Zhou and Xiang Ze's clasped hands, his expression unfriendly.

What's the point of holding on so tightly?

His throat felt like it was being squeezed, and he couldn't breathe properly.

He ripped off his tie and unbuttoned two buttons, but it still didn't help.

He wrapped the tie around his hand again and again, and his eyes grew darker and darker.

His stern face finally calmed Xiang Qin down.

On the other side, Mu Zhou asked Xiang Ze in a low voice if his leg still hurt.

Xiang Ze endured the pain and shook his head.

She hadn't shown him such tender care in a long time.

Ever since his pretense was exposed, Mu Zhou has always treated him with disdain, to the point that he can hardly feel any love from him.

But at this moment, they seem to have returned to their former selves.

During the time when he forged medical records and Mu Zhou thought he was seriously ill, she would sit by his bedside every day and gently comfort him.

Xiang Ze was so captivated by her tenderness at this moment.

Xiang Qin was furious at her nephew's spineless behavior.

After less than half an hour, Mu Zhou checked the time and prepared to leave.

Xiang Ze was naturally unwilling.

He also wanted Mu Zhou to spend more time with him.

"I really can't, one of the employees in the store is injured, I have to go and cover for him."

There was nothing he could do but watch Mu Zhou leave.

About ten minutes later, Gu Huaizhou also left.

As soon as the two left, Cheng Wenjing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke:

"Xiao Ze, did Mu Zhou and Huai Zhou know each other before?"

"I don't know them. Huaizhou was abroad before, how could they possibly know him?"

Xiang Ze didn't know why Cheng Wenjing asked that question, and even Xiang Qin looked at her with confusion.

Cheng Wenjing smiled and said:

"I just noticed that the two of them get along really well. Last time at the ski resort, Huaizhou taught me very seriously and carefully. I thought he might get angry, but he turned out to be quite gentle and didn't complain at all after teaching me all day."

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"They came together today, didn't they?"

Xiang Ze subconsciously denied it:

"Perhaps it was just a coincidence."

But when the two entered, the indescribable atmosphere made his heart sink.

Xiang Qin had even more thoughts on this.

"This young lady has quite an appetite and is very shrewd."

Gu Huaizhou, such a difficult person to get along with, actually taught her how to ski.

Xiang Ze still instinctively denied it:

“I asked him to ski, and he did it because of me.”

Xiang Qin poked his head in exasperation:

"Don't you know what kind of person he is? You ask him for a favor, and he'll do his best? He can practice for hours without complaining. Is that his personality?"

Now, Xiang Qin's impression of Mu Zhou worsened.

Seeing that the two of them didn't look too good, Cheng Wenjing offered a vague but perfunctory piece of advice:

"However, Mu Zhou's personality is naturally likable, so it's normal for Huai Zhou to treat her better."

Is this normal?

This is not normal at all.

Xiang Ze knew Gu Huaizhou best; he had never given any girl a kind look.

Even Cheng Wenjing didn't receive any special treatment from him.

Would he really teach Mu Zhou to ski for hours without complaint, just to fulfill his request?

Although it was Xiang Ze who asked Gu Huaizhou for help in the first place, he is now starting to have doubts.

After listening to Cheng Wenjing's words, Xiang Qin became more and more certain of her guess.

This silly boy, he must have been tricked by a gold digger.

Mu Zhou was most likely after the money; he got a sum of money from Xiang Ze and then set his sights on Gu Huaizhou.

Her gaze shifted, and she said:

"Whether she's a gold digger or not, your aunt can find out for you."

"But……"

"But what but? It's just a try. If it goes wrong, Auntie will apologize to her. When you get married, I'll give you a big gift."

Seeing that Xiang Ze was still hesitant, she hardened her heart, raised her hand, and showed the bracelet on her wrist:

"If I'm wrong, I'll give her this heirloom jade bracelet that my mother gave me as a wedding gift, is that alright?"

Xiang Ze opened his mouth, but ultimately acquiesced.

Xiang Qin was finally satisfied.

She would find an opportunity to try it out, and she would take the initiative to create opportunities for Mu Zhou and Gu Huaizhou to spend time alone together.

It remains to be seen whether Mu Zhou will make a move.

If she takes the opportunity to get close to Gu Huaizhou, then it proves she's a gold digger.

But if she is honest, then Xiang Qin will believe that she is genuinely good to her nephew.

As Xiang Ze listened, his heart pounded, and he felt uneasy.

But I comforted myself that everything was alright.

This bracelet is priceless; giving it to Mu Zhou signifies my approval of him.

At that time, there will be less opposition from family members.

Besides, given his aunt's temperament, if he didn't let her test him, she would probably never accept Mu Zhou.

They will face many more hardships in the future.

More importantly, he began to doubt his love for Mu Zhou.

It's just a trial.

With this in mind, Xiang Ze ultimately remained silent.

Mu Zhou had just changed into his work clothes when Gu Huaizhou's car was already parked outside the store.

He rolled down the car window and looked at the figure at the cashier.

He smoked one cigarette after another.

Three hours later, the replacement arrived.

Mu Zhou then changed his clothes and prepared to leave.

Her taxi was already parked at the door.

Watching her get into the car, Gu Huaizhou expressionlessly told the driver to follow.

Finally, the car remained parked outside the residential area for a long time.

He took out his cell phone.

Are you going to see Xiang Ze again tomorrow?

On the other side, Mu Zhou was doing her skincare routine and didn't rush to reply when she saw the message notification.

I waited until she finished her skincare routine before calmly replying.

Not necessarily, why?

She glanced at the time; it was almost midnight. She then said:

It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?

The other side replied instantly:

Are you concerned about me?

Mu Zhou could almost picture the raised eyebrow on his face when he typed those words.

Like a cat that has smelled fish, he laughed triumphantly.

Mu Zhou tossed his phone aside and ignored it.

Outside the residential compound, Gu Huaizhou looked at his phone with a smile on his face.

Her already alluring face became even more stunning.

Even though he sent several more messages later and Mu Zhou didn't reply, it didn't affect his mood.

He relaxed and leaned back in his chair:

"Let's go."

The car drove away quietly.
