Chapter 802 The Sister Who Was Shackled Because She Wasn't Sent Away (27)
The elevator doors opened, and the three members of the Mu family stepped out.
They didn't look too good.
Without saying a word, Mu Zhou chased them all away, leaving them with only one sentence.
We'll discuss other things once the shares are transferred to her name.
Mu Tianyu was furious when he recalled Mu Zhou's arrogant demeanor.
"That bitch Mu Zhou, who does she think she is, trying to steal money from me? That good-for-nothing, I spit on her! I'm going to tell Dad to beat her to death!"
From a young age, his family told him that everything in the Mu family belonged to him, and no one was allowed to take it from him!
Mu's mother and Lin Xi remained silent with somber faces.
They had no idea that these words had reached Fu Ci's ears when he returned home from get off work.
His expression remained unchanged as he watched the three get into the car and leave, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
*
Fu Ci didn't knock; he unlocked the door with his fingerprint and came in.
Then I saw Mu Zhou sitting on the sofa with a blank expression.
Her back was straight, and her shoulders and fingertips were tense, as if she was forcing herself to maintain her composure.
She sat there, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and just looking at her made one feel lonely.
She was lost in thought and didn't even hear the door close.
It wasn't until Fu Ci got closer that she snapped out of her daze.
She subconsciously wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile:
"You're here. I was going to make you some soup, but I forgot. What would you like to eat? I'll make something simple now."
Her small, delicate face was deathly pale, yet she still forced a smile.
Seeing that Fu Ci remained silent, he quickly added:
"How about we have the restaurant send some food over? You'll definitely be hungry by the time I finish cooking."
Fu Ci's face grew increasingly gloomy.
He didn't say anything, but simply hugged Mu Zhou in his arms.
Mu Zhou froze, stunned for a moment.
As Fu Ci gently patted her back, her tense body finally relaxed slowly.
Mu Zhou bit her lip, letting the corners of her eyes redden.
She suddenly felt the urge to confide in someone:
“My mother and Lin Xi came to me to make peace and apologize, but the first thing they said was that they blamed me for being immature back then…”
Her voice choked with emotion, she struggled to hold back her sobs, her tone hesitant and lost:
"Am I asking for too much? We should let bygones be bygones. It's already good enough that they came to apologize, but I'm still not satisfied. I feel terrible, so terrible that I can't breathe. I don't even know what I want."
She spoke incoherently about her feelings, which she herself did not understand.
Mu Zhou was already thin, and now, leaning weakly against Fu Ci's chest, she looked even more frail and boneless.
Her suppressed sobs lingered in Fu Ci's ears.
His face was grim; without even asking for details, one could guess what had happened.
He comforted him in a hoarse voice:
"It's not your fault, you shouldn't have forgiven them in the first place."
Mu Zhou buried her face in his chest and swayed back and forth:
“I think I’m a bad person. I made them leave. They kept saying that I’m a member of the Mu family and should think about the Mu family’s interests, but they clearly didn’t treat me like family. In a fit of anger, I said I wanted the Mu family’s shares, and then they called me greedy.”
She raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears, and looked at Fu Ci:
"Am I being too petty and calculating? I already owe them something, how can I make demands of them..."
Fu Ci cupped her face in his hands, looking at her with a serious expression:
“You did nothing wrong, and you don’t owe them anything.”
After correcting Mu Zhou's words, he changed his tone and said in a cryptic manner:
"They did something to hurt you, and if they want your forgiveness, they should naturally show some sincerity."
Mu Zhou seemed a little confused, as if she didn't understand what he was saying.
Fu Ci's heart softened, and he lowered his head to kiss her lips, gently sucking on them with affection.
This was a kiss devoid of lust.
All I feel is heartache.
Mu Zhou's anxious and uneasy emotions gradually calmed down with one gentle kiss after another.
At this moment, her little face was streaked with tears, her eyes were swollen, and even her hair was a mess.
But Fu Ci found her innocent and adorable at that moment.
Mu Zhou vaguely saw his own image through his pupils.
She was a little embarrassed:
"I'm sorry, I didn't know they would be coming today."
As soon as she got off work, she called Fu Ci to ask him when he would be off work so she could make him some soup.
Who knew they would run into the Mu family.
Fu Ci didn't want to see her looking so disappointed.
“It’s not your fault, why are you apologizing?” She paused, then added, “How about I cook for you today?”
Mu Zhou's eyes widened slightly, and he asked in surprise:
"can you cook?"
Fu Ci curled the corners of his lips slightly:
"That's natural."
*
Fu Ci cooked noodles for Mu Zhou.
A bowl of ramen made with very high-quality ingredients.
Looking at the bowl of noodles in front of him, which looked and smelled delicious, Mu Zhou's stomach, which hadn't been very hungry before, started to rumble.
She took a sip of soup first.
It's very delicious.
Mu Zhou sighed contentedly before slowly beginning to eat.
As Fu Ci watched her eat in small bites, a sense of satisfaction inexplicably rose in his heart.
He had just learned how to make this ramen.
That day, after eating the plain noodles that Mu Zhou made for her and hearing her recount her past, I felt depressed.
For some reason, when I got back and saw the chef, he suddenly said, "Teach me how to cook noodles."
Even a sentence spoken without thinking.
But having already spoken, he naturally didn't want to take it back.
Fortunately, he was a good student and made the noodles after only one experiment.
At this moment, it seems that Mu Zhou is quite satisfied with his meal.
Fu Ci secretly rejoiced that he had learned how to cook noodles.
On a chilly day, eating a bowl of noodles like this made Mu Zhou feel warm all over.
Her eyes crinkled with laughter, and she spoke from the heart:
"Fu Ci, you are so kind."
Fu Ci's heart instantly melted, becoming completely soft.
Just as he was about to say something, Mu Zhou suddenly added:
Will you always be good to me?
A deep sense of guilt was hidden in the depths of her eyes.
It happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that Fu Ci thought he was seeing things.
He concealed his unease and leaned forward to kiss her eyes:
"of course."
*
Fu Ci acted quickly, and the next morning, Mu Zhou heard news about the Mu family from Li Xiaofang.
When Li Xiaofang called, her tone was somewhat subtle:
"Zhouzhou, do you know about Mu Tianyu?"
Mu Zhou's mother rarely spoke in such a tone when mentioning Mu Tianyu.
When no one was around, she would always grit her teeth with hatred when she mentioned Mu Tianyu.
But in public, she would act like an exceptionally loving and doting mother.
At this moment, however, there was a hint of schadenfreude.
Before Mu Zhou could ask, she took the initiative to speak.
Last night, Mu Tianyu was taken to a nightclub by a group of his cronies.
After being mistreated by Mu Zhou, he returned to his father to complain. Instead of taking his father's side as before, his father began to seriously consider the issue of shares.
He refused angrily, but his father scolded him a few times.
He'd never been scolded by his family before, so he got angry and drove off.
Those few cronies were all people he met after he came to Luo City.
He couldn't recognize them all; they were just young masters from some wealthy family.
A group of people were drinking and dancing in a nightclub, and then somehow they started fighting.
The whole place was in chaos. He was drunk and when he saw his "brother" being beaten, he grabbed a bottle and hit the other guy on the head.
The situation escalated rapidly.
