Chapter 735 Childhood Sweetheart Marries Her Brother in Revenge, Then Regrets It (13)

After leaving the Lu family, Mu Zhou handed the documents in his hand to Lu Chen.

"Grandpa said this is a wedding gift for me."

Lu Chen didn't answer; he said calmly:

"Grandpa is giving this to you, just accept it."

Mu Zhou glared at him, trying to force it on him:

"Do you even know what this is, yet you're giving it to me so generously?"

Lu Chen still didn't answer, but instead grabbed her wrist to stop her from moving.

He remained expressionless and replied:

“I know, it’s shares.”

Mu Zhou was taken aback and looked at Lu Chen in surprise.

He actually knew what was in the document.

Did they know she should still accept it?

Mu Zhou was so surprised that she forgot Lu Chen was still holding her hand.

Lu Chen looked at her wide-eyed, incredulous expression, and a smile appeared on his lips:

"Don't worry, just accept it."

Mu Zhou blinked and tentatively asked:

“This document will be effective as soon as I sign it, and that 5% share will be mine.”

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow:

"You do not want?"

"I want it, who wouldn't?"

This is a stake in the Lu family business. Five percent is a considerable amount of profit, something that even Lu Ting hasn't been able to inherit from Old Master Lu.

Just ...

She looked at Lu Chen and asked seriously:

"You don't regret it?"

Seeing Lu Chen nod, she whispered:

"Then I'll accept it. You'll regret it later."

She casually withdrew her hand and put the document away.

Lu Chen slowly raised his hand to adjust his glasses.

When Lu Ting learned that Ace's business partner in Asia was Mu Zhou, he instantly understood what was going on.

Unable to contact Mu Zhou, he went directly to the beauty salon to wait for her.

Mu Zhou, wrapped in a bathrobe, slowly walked into the hall, and Lu Ting immediately stood up.

Ignoring his intense gaze, Mu Zhou sat down opposite him and said to the waiter:

"lemonade."

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Lu Ting's anger dissipated considerably.

Well, if this makes her calm down... even though he lost a very important source of income, it's worth it.

He sat down again, his expression softening slightly.

"You went to the United States last time to discuss cooperation with Ace."

His tone no longer sounded so angry.

Just then, the waiter brought over the lemonade. Mu Zhou said "thank you" before looking at Lu Ting:

"What, have you come here to interrogate me?"

Lu Ting shook his head:

"No, it's just that I'm not as skilled as others."

"It's good to know."

Mu Zhou didn't appreciate his leniency at all.

It's a winner-takes-all story, so why is he putting on such a magnanimous act? Does he want her to feel guilty?

It had been a long time since Lu Ting had enjoyed afternoon tea with Mu Zhou in such a quiet setting.

He felt a rare sense of peace and could no longer recall how angry he had been when he first learned of all this.

Seeing him fall silent, Mu Zhou's brows furrowed with impatience:

"Is there anything else? If not, I need to go work on my project."

"and many more……"

Lu Ting stopped her, unable to help but say:

“Zhouzhou, next month is Grandpa’s birthday banquet. Do you really want everyone to know that you and my brother are getting married? You need to know that for families like ours, once it’s made public, there will be no possibility between us anymore.”

How could Mu Zhou marry both of those brothers one after the other?

He didn't believe Mu Zhou was unaware of these things.

Mu Zhou married his brother in a fit of anger because of a misunderstanding. Regardless of the circumstances, even though he didn't think he had done anything wrong, he still sincerely apologized and offered to make amends.

He doesn't even care about her marriage to his brother, so why can't she stop now?

Does she really not care at all about the relationship we've had for so many years?

He couldn't help but feel a little wronged.

But looking at Mu Zhou's beautiful face and her proud, peacock-like eyes, he sighed helplessly.

Oh well, she's always been like this since she was little, and he's already spoiled her.

Thinking of this, he patiently coaxed her again:

“Zhouzhou, I really know I was wrong. I’ve reflected on everything you said last time. Once Jiang Wanqing finishes this project, I’ll have her resign…”

"No way," Mu Zhou quickly stopped her, "Whether she resigns or not is none of my business. Don't make it sound like I pushed her out and caused her to lose her job."

Besides, Lu Ting has so many good friends. With just a word, Jiang Wanqing can still thrive in those big companies.

Mu Zhou didn't believe that Lu Ting could really be so heartless as to ignore Jiang Wanqing.

When Jiang Wanqing gets a good job, won't she be grateful to him again, treating him to a meal? And giving him gifts?

Mu Zhou openly discussed their affair at the art exhibition last time, and gossipy people have already spread the word.

Her best friend must have thought that Jiang Wanqing was a mistress Lu Ting was keeping outside, who had been discovered and driven away by her. In order to please Lu Ting, she must have secretly created opportunities for them to meet.

What's the difference between that and working for his company?

Mu Zhou didn't want to be seen as a "ruthless" villain by outsiders.

She stood up, unwilling to talk any further:

"No matter where she works or what your relationship with her is, it's none of my business. I'm your sister-in-law, and that won't change."

Lu Ting stood up, his brow furrowed.

"Zhouzhou, don't say things in anger."

Mu Zhou rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave.

Lu Ting was also pampered and spoiled growing up, so his groveling wouldn't be without limits.

Seeing that Mu Zhou insisted on making a scene, his voice turned colder:

"This is our last chance. After this, I won't try to stop you anymore. Do you really want to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Zhou had already entered the elevator.

Lu Ting suddenly clenched his fist, his face turning ashen with anger.

Mu Zhou took a beauty nap while getting a massage, and then chatted with her friends for a while after waking up.

"Let's go to a bar tonight."

"I'm busy, I have a business dinner tonight."

Mu Zhou waved his hand, declining his friend's invitation.

The driver was already waiting outside, and the waiter opened the door for her. After she got into the car, she sent a message to Lu Chen.

[I'm hosting a dinner for Ace's team at the Longzhou Hotel tonight. Are you working overtime tonight?]

[If we're working overtime, do you want to go grab some late-night snacks after we finish?]

[I never get enough to eat at business banquets, so I usually go to Zhuanghelou for late-night snacks. Really, don't you want to come along?]

Mu Zhou sent three messages in a row.

Soon, the top of the dialog box displayed "The other party is typing..."

After several exchanges, Mu Zhou finally received a reply.

Okay, contact me when it's almost over.

Mu Zhou smiled and put his phone away.

*

As the banquet was drawing to a close, Mu Zhou sent a message to Lu Chen:

[It's almost over! Remember to pick me up in half an hour~ Don't forget!]

Lu Chen stared at the message for a long time.

For some reason, he had a strange feeling that Mu Zhou was drunk.

He even imagined Mu Zhou's coquettish tone and charmingly imperious manner when she said those words.

He couldn't wait any longer than half an hour.

He replied with "I'll be there soon" and then headed to the hotel.

Lu Chen's company was nearby, so it was convenient for him to go there.

On the other side, Mu Zhou put his phone away after seeing this.
