Chapter 619 The heartthrob who lost his halo in a dating simulation (28)
Mu Zhou sent Pei Yuqing a message expressing his affection as usual.
Unexpectedly, she received two heart-fluttering messages tonight.
They came from Song Shiyan and Shen Fang respectively.
Mu Zhou raised his eyebrows.
She then opened her social media account, and countless message notifications flooded in, almost causing her phone to freeze.
My private messages are overflowing with all sorts of insulting remarks.
The reason is that someone posted a message in the group claiming that Mu Zhou is an out-and-out gold digger.
They even spread rumors about her being "kept" and "sacrificing herself for performance," using rather malicious language.
The whistleblower clearly knows Mu Zhou well, or rather, has investigated him carefully.
I am very clear about her work and life.
Mu Zhou's flamboyant and alluring appearance, coupled with the various luxury goods she had previously posted on her account and her staged photos of entering and leaving high-end places, all became evidence.
Many people believed it.
[I knew it! The third female lead isn't from a wealthy family; she's just a small-town girl with no education or connections. How could she afford those luxury items?]
The third female lead has an unpleasant appearance; she looks like a mistress.
These female saleswomen know perfectly well where their sales figures come from; those in the know understand.
No wonder the male guests were unmoved by her; they had seen through the third female guest's true nature.
[Have you guys seen that exposé? It's supposedly from the third female lead's colleague, saying that the third female lead became the top salesperson through shady means. That post is really popular, go check it out.]
Mu Zhou clicked on the post that the so-called colleague had made.
The content wasn't anything new; it was nothing more than exposing that she used her body to boost her sales, was picked up by different luxury cars every day, and received luxury goods as someone's mistress.
Some people in the comments section even joined in spreading rumors.
[I can vouch for the original poster; I personally witnessed her sitting on our boss's lap at the dinner table, and afterwards, she went to a hotel with our boss.]
Everyone knows Mu Zhou; her scandalous affairs have been all over the industry for a long time. I've personally witnessed her handing room keys to clients.
I know this woman. She gave me her room number, and then... you know what happens {evil laugh}. I'm just a small business owner with a little money.
Mu Zhou took screenshots and recorded them all as evidence without any expression.
Sometimes she even felt confused.
How do these people manage to spread false rumors without any sense of guilt?
They can speak with absolute certainty about things that never happened.
Why would someone harbor such malice towards a complete stranger like her for no apparent reason?
It was just casual talk, and nobody really cares?
Then they are wrong.
Mu Zhou will not miss any of these people.
Because the show itself was very popular, and Shen Fang and others had a high profile in the entertainment industry, Mu Zhou's name quickly appeared on the trending search list.
Many onlookers flocked to the scene.
Who is Mu Zhou? Why is he suddenly trending on social media?
[Is it some internet celebrity again? These days, does everyone have to be trending?]
[Don't you guys watch 'Heartbeat'? This is one of the female guests on the show, a gold digger. There's some juicy gossip about her, really explosive.]
As a result, more and more bystanders got involved, escalating the buzz once again.
However, those posts and comments were quickly deleted.
It was completely deleted.
Mu Zhou was taken aback. He asked 0001 and found out that it was Fu Hanyan who had made the move.
She smiled.
Although it was somewhat unexpected, it didn't hinder her plans for the future.
So she started posting anonymously.
The next day, Su Lin happened to be there when Mu Zhou got up.
He had just returned from the company.
Originally, he planned to take the day off and not record today.
But when he heard the production team say that he and Mu Zhou were going to buy daily necessities today, he changed his mind instantly.
So I went to the company early in the morning and then rushed back.
Seeing Mu Zhou yawning as he came downstairs, he stopped.
Mu Zhou was wearing loungewear, her hair casually pulled back, her beautiful figure hidden in the loose fabric.
Despite her somewhat unkempt appearance, she inexplicably exudes a languid charm.
Especially when paired with that face without any makeup.
Su Lin stared into Mu Zhou's sleepy eyes and silently swallowed.
He subconsciously raised his hand and loosened his tie.
He cleared his throat before speaking:
"I've had breakfast delivered; I'll eat first, then I'll go shopping."
Mu Zhou nodded, looking somewhat bewildered as she was still half asleep.
Su Lin, dressed in a suit, walked to her side, his breathing slightly slowed.
In the past, he disliked people around him who dressed too casually.
Mu Zhou always appeared fully made up and impeccably dressed in front of him.
But at this moment, Mu Zhou's relaxed state at home made his heart flutter.
It was as if they were an old married couple, and he came home from get off work to have dinner with her.
If only she could happily run into his arms when she saw him...
Su Lin was suddenly stunned by her own imagination.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Seeing that he didn't move, Mu Zhou went to open the door.
The person who came in must have been Su Lin's assistant. He brought in several bags of things, put them on the table, and then left.
Mu Zhou sat at the dining table and saw Su Lin looking at her with a complicated expression. She touched her face in confusion.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to eat?"
Feeling guilty, Su Lin looked away and silently sat down opposite Mu Zhou.
Mu Zhou didn't stand on ceremony with him. She enjoyed her breakfast, which was all her favorites. After that, she went back to her room to change her clothes before going shopping with Su Lin.

On Mu Zhou's recommendation, the two went to a large supermarket located in the city center.
Mu Zhou seemed somewhat distracted, while Su Lin seemed to be enjoying herself.
Do you drink whole milk or skim milk?
He even took the initiative to pick up two kinds of milk and ask Mu Zhou about them.
Mu Zhou casually said:
"Defatted".
Su Lin put the skim milk into the shopping cart.
He noticed out of the corner of his eye that some passersby recognized them and were taking pictures without his consent, but he wasn't annoyed at all.
He glanced at Mu Zhou standing beside him, looking up at the top of the shelf, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curved up.
"Want some oatmeal yogurt?"
"Yes, buy more, Bai Shu and Shen Qianyi like them too."
Seeing Mu Zhou nod, he took the yogurt down and put it in the shopping cart as well.

Mu Zhou and Su Lin had been walking one after the other, maintaining a certain distance. However, on their way to the underground parking lot after paying the bill, she suddenly moved closer:
"Yogurt, I'm a little thirsty."
She lowered her head, wanting to take the shopping bag from Su Lin's hand.
Su Lin naturally wouldn't give her such a heavy shopping bag.
He opened the bag and raised his arm to make it easier for Mu Zhou to search slowly.
Mu Zhou leaned forward, rummaged through the bag a few times, and successfully found the yogurt.
A satisfied smile instantly spread across her face as she looked down and fiddled with the straw.
Su Lin looked down at her and suddenly felt that this kind of life was really not bad.
If they weren't participating in a variety show recording, but living their real lives...
Su Lin stared at her, his eyes shifting.
The two got into the car chatting and laughing, and the car quickly drove away.
At this moment, on the other side of the parking lot.
In the back seat of a black sedan, Fu Hanyan witnessed everything that had just happened.
Su Lin's gaze towards Mu Zhou clearly carried a possessive quality.
That's the look a man has when he looks at a woman he likes.
Given Mu Zhou's exceptional qualities, it's not surprising that men would covet Fu Hanyan.
What he cared more about was that Mu Zhou didn't seem to mind Su Lin's approach.
There was even a faint, almost imperceptible, sense of dependence.
Fu Hanyan's face was cold, and his jaw was clenched.
