Chapter 640 The Vicious Ex-Wife Who Couldn't Share Hardship (4)
Mu Zhou raised the corners of his eyes slightly and smiled at Jin Xirong, saying:
"How about this, you give me a thousand yuan a month and live with me. My house is much better than yours."
Jin Xirong's lips twitched, but before he could speak, Mu Zhou waved his hand knowingly at him:
"No need to thank me too much. After all, we were husband and wife. It's no big deal for me to help you."
Although her house would definitely cost more than $1000 if she rented it out, she didn't want to live with strangers.
She didn't want anyone to know that she was making money by sharing an apartment with others.
But Jin Xirong is different.
Firstly, she trusted his character; after all, they had been married for a year, and he had always been cold and elusive.
Besides, he is still her husband in name only. If she doesn't say anything, who would know that she is earning money to rent a room?
Mu Zhou was pleased that he had come up with such a good idea.
Without saying a word, she pushed Jin Xirong into the room:
"Go pack your things." Seeing that he didn't move, she teased, "What's wrong, are you so happy you've forgotten yourself?"
Jin Xirong pressed her lips together tightly, her chest heaving for a moment, as if she were suppressing something.
He regretted it a bit.
He shouldn't have anything to do with this woman.
She should have been knocked unconscious and taken away the moment she was found.
He glanced coolly at the illegally constructed little house.
This is certainly not his residence.
This is a place run by one of his subordinates, where he usually shelters people who don't want to show their faces.
This place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, making it easy to hide.
I just happened to be passing by, so I just pointed casually.
To everyone's surprise, she actually believed it.
Not only did she believe him, she also helped him make the decision.
It's difficult to refuse right now.
Otherwise, even if she is simple-minded, she would inevitably find it strange.
The environment here is just too bad. If ordinary people could move away from here, why would they refuse?
He closed his eyes helplessly and resignedly went inside to "pack" his luggage.
Jin Xirong discovered that ever since he got close to Mu Zhou, he was always in a state of almost laughing in anger.
But he didn't realize that as Mu Zhou kept pushing the boundaries, his attitude towards Mu Zhou became more indulgent.

Mu Zhou raised an eyebrow as he looked at the bag Jin Xirong was carrying:
"That's all the luggage you have?"
"You hit me and said you wanted compensation? Perfect, I'll just buy new clothes and supplies."
Having been outmaneuvered, Mu Zhou opened his mouth slightly, somewhat annoyed.
However, she wasn't a stingy person; she was willing to pay compensation, since she was richer than him anyway.
She took out her phone, found Jin Xirong's name in the list, and generously transferred 10,000 yuan to him.
"Alright, buy whatever you want."
She put her sunglasses back on, raised her chin slightly, and walked away haughtily.
Jin Xirong glanced at the payment notification, gave a barely perceptible smile, and followed after him.
*
That night, Jin Xirong lay in the guest room.
An unfamiliar aura enveloped him.
Mu Zhou's room was filled with her scent.
A sweet taste that's hard to describe.
Even his bed was pink and blue.
The guest room is simply furnished with a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe.
Jin Xirong remained vigilant, expecting tonight to be a sleepless night.
But perhaps knowing that Mu Zhou didn't have the brains to hurt anyone, he relaxed for a rare moment.
Sleepiness soon crept in.
He did not resist and obediently closed his eyes.
Another room separated by a wall.
Mu Zhou was also lying in bed.
After a whole day of fussing, Jin Xirong's favorability towards her finally rose to 5%, becoming a positive number.
Although it was somewhat below Mu Zhou's expectations.
But it's normal.
Jin Xirong is a very guarded person with an unpredictable and elusive temperament.
They are also very good at disguising themselves.
It's as if he was unable to grow up psychologically healthy due to the abnormal education he received in the Jin family from a young age.
But he always pretended to be a normal person.
No one discovered his hatred for the Jin family.
He lay low until he was absolutely certain of victory, then delivered a fatal blow to the Jin family.
Jin Xirong's psychology is undoubtedly pathological.
He is cold-blooded, lacks empathy, and is extreme.
This kind of person is not easy to approach, but if you really get into their heart, you'll probably be completely entangled and never be able to escape.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, Mu Zhou also has a mental illness.
We're all sick, so we're a perfect match.

The next morning, Jin Xirong was woken up by Mu Zhou.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and after a moment of confusion, he remembered that he was with Mu Zhou.
He pinched the bridge of his nose and sat up.
The person outside the door clearly had little patience.
"Jin Xirong, are you awake?"
He slept quite well last night, so he didn't look angry when he was woken up.
Just as Mu Zhou was about to continue knocking, the door was suddenly opened.
Her arm paused, and she slightly raised her head.
Jin Xirong was wearing a white T-shirt, gray sweatpants, and her hair was slightly messy.
This made his handsome face appear even more youthful and innocent.
Mu Zhou clicked his tongue.
Her gaze shifted from Jin Xirong's gray sweatpants, her expression somewhat ambiguous.
She had heard from her best friend that men wearing gray sweatpants have the same effect as women wearing black stockings.
Looking at it this way, it really is true.
Her gaze was impossible to ignore, and Jin Xirong felt somewhat bewildered and a little uncomfortable.
He pursed his lips and spoke softly:
"what happened?"
Mu Zhou chuckled lightly, and said meaningfully:
"Stop trying to seduce me. Instead, use your time to make a comeback, earn more money, and maybe we can get back together."
Her gaze fell on Jin Xirong's sweatpants again, and she raised an eyebrow.
Jin Xirong instantly understood what she meant.
The throbbing veins on his forehead reminded him that he had been teased.
His fingertips trembled.
Mu Zhou caught a glimpse of his ears, which were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and he forced a smile.
Without further provoking him, Mu Zhou said:
"Can you cook? If not, there's a dim sum restaurant downstairs, go buy some."
The next moment, Jin Xirong's phone notification sounded.
Mu Zhou transferred 50,000 yuan to him.
"This month's food expenses, of course, include yours."
She confidently ordered Jin Xirong to do the cooking.
He even gave me an expression that said, "You don't need to thank me too much."
"I know you're broke and have trouble even eating, right? Don't worry, at least you won't go hungry if you stay with me."
She didn't care about the source of the money; most of the bags and jewelry she sold were actually bought with the Jin family's money.
In short, what she bought was his.
"By the way, I want to eat light, low-salt food. I usually have an iced Americano in the morning."
After explaining his preferences, Mu Zhou went back to his room to wash up.
She never cared about making or losing money, and she didn't care about the difference between 50,000 and 1,000 in rent.
In her opinion, a thousand was what she earned, and fifty thousand could buy her a servant.
She is not at a loss.
Jin Xirong stared at Mu Zhou's door, her jawline taut and her brow furrowed.
He felt he had made a mistake.
I shouldn't have moved in yesterday just to save trouble.
This woman is simply unreasonable.
He was about to knock on the door to tell Mu Zhou that he was moving out when he suddenly remembered the blatant look she had given him when she looked at his underwear.
His ears burned instantly, and with a livid face, he quickly turned around and went back to his room.
