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

Chapter 585 The Sobering Fall of the Cannon Fodder Junior Schoolgirl (25)

Jiang Chenbai had a guess. He gently patted Mu Zhou's back, comforting and guiding him:

"I will protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you. Who is trying to retaliate against you? Please tell me."

Mu Zhou's breathing became rapid, her eyelashes trembled, as if she dared not speak out of fear.

Jiang Chenbai forced her to look him in the eye:

"Trust me, I have the ability to protect you."

Mu Zhou's pupils trembled, clinging to the last glimmer of hope:

"Please go and explain to Miss Lin that I have no feelings for you and I will never appear in front of you again. Please, tell her to stop targeting me."

As soon as Mu Zhou opened his mouth, tears began to roll down his cheeks.

She clutched Jiang Chenbai's suit jacket, pleading with him:

“My parents are honest working people. I don’t want to drag them down. Please help me. I’ve already filed for divorce from Xu Ran and found a new job. Once I start, I will leave here and never come back. I will never appear in your world again.”

Mu Zhou's last words successfully pulled Jiang Chenbai back to the state of mind many years ago, when Tongtong went abroad.

When Tongtong learned the truth, she insisted on leaving, and Jiang's father naturally wouldn't allow them to be together.

Jiang Chenbai was not yet fully developed and could not resist. Then, Tongtong went abroad and disappeared completely, and there was no news of her for many years.

Now Mu Zhou is being forced to leave for another place.

History seems to be repeating itself.

A dark fire of anger ignited in Jiang Chenbai's eyes, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on Mu Zhou's hand.

He only came to his senses when Mu Zhou began to struggle.

"Feel sorry."

He pulled Mu Zhou into his arms again:

"It's my fault. I didn't handle the obstacles between us well. Don't worry, I will protect you."

Noticing that Mu Zhou's body was no longer so tense, he continued to soothe him gently:

"You divorce Xu Ran, then focus on preparing for our wedding. Don't worry about anything else, I'll take care of it."

Jiang Chenbai lowered his eyes, concealing the rage within them.

Mu Zhou's words made him realize that she wasn't unwilling to accept him, but rather that Lin Yumo had been interfering and threatening her in private.

They even used her parents to blackmail her.

She had to avoid him.

This led him to transfer all his hatred onto Lin Yumo.

That bitch, if it weren't for her, Mu Zhou would have been obediently staying by his side long ago.

Mu Zhou gradually calmed down under his comforting words, leaning against him without moving, as if she had finally found someone she could rely on.

But in her heart, she thought of the original plot.

In the original story, because the original owner had no good feelings towards Jiang Chenbai and always avoided him, Jiang Chenbai just wanted to teach her a lesson.

In order to keep her obediently by his side, he allowed Lin Yumo to take revenge on her.

But now she's showing that she's also fallen for Jiang Chenbai, but because Lin Yumo's threat is too terrifying, she wants to leave.

Jiang Chenbai will definitely think of Tongtong from back then, which will deepen his hatred for Lin Yumo.

Mu Zhou's guess was absolutely right; Jiang Chenbai did indeed think of Tongtong at that moment.

He insisted that Tongtong loved him back then, but was forced to give in to societal pressures, obstruction from his father, and perhaps even threats from Lin Yumo.

That's why he had no choice but to leave the country and disappear.

Back then, he had no choice but to let go. This time, he will make those who stand in the way of his happiness pay the price!

A few minutes later, Mu Zhou's emotions were gradually calmed down. She lowered her head shyly to wipe away her tears and asked cautiously:

"I'm a little scared about Miss Lin. Can you really ask her not to retaliate against me?"

"of course."

He cupped Mu Zhou's cheek in one hand, unable to contain his excitement, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Mu Zhou skillfully dodged it.

She awkwardly withdrew from Jiang Chenbai's embrace.

"Don't do this."

Although she was still refusing, Jiang Chenbai could see her dependence on and admiration for him.

This made him extremely satisfied.

Don't rush.

He gently rubbed Mu Zhou's cheek with his fingertips, his eyes filled with pleasure.

After resting for two days, Mu Zhou returned to the company and no one noticed anything amiss.

However, everyone was privately discussing the injury on Xu Ran's face.

"Mu Zhou, I didn't know you were on leave these past two days. President Xu suddenly had an injury on his face. It was worse yesterday, but he looks a little better today. It's obvious he got into a fight."

"I never expected that Mr. Xu, who looks so aloof, would actually get into a fight. It's hard to believe. I wonder who his opponent was."

Mu Zhou listened silently, thinking to himself that Xu Ran really wasn't very good at fighting.

He was basically the one getting beaten up.

Xu Ran directly contacted the head of the secretariat to discuss Mu Zhou's leave request.

Linda and the others were completely unaware of the situation, assuming that Mu Zhou had asked for leave due to some business.

Just then, the person in charge came to the secretariat to give instructions. When she saw Mu Zhou, her gaze was complicated, and she hesitated to speak.

She probably never imagined that Mu Zhou and Xu Ran would actually be husband and wife.

Mu Zhou pretended not to see it.

Looking at the schedule, Mu Zhou, as usual, took a cup of coffee to Xu Ran's office.

Seeing that her complexion had improved a lot, Xu Ran couldn't help but say:

"Let's have a proper talk."

He calmed down considerably at this point.

He had thought it through. He and Mu Zhou were still husband and wife, a relationship recognized and protected by law.

In this respect, Shen Linshu cannot compare.

As long as he doesn't get a divorce, Shen Linshu's position will be illegitimate.

Mu Zhou is a soft-hearted person, and she once loved him so much, so there's no reason for her to stop loving him just like that.

Perhaps she just needed some emotional comfort, which allowed Shen Linshu to take advantage of her vulnerability.

It's all Shen Linshu's fault for being too alluring and seducing Mu Zhou.

It's normal for someone as naive and inexperienced as Mu Zhou to be easily misled.

Once Mu Zhou, who is currently in a daze, calms down, she will realize how incompatible she is with Shen Linshu.

They are the only ones who are most suitable.

After Mu Zhou sat down, she originally thought he was going to blame her or angrily bring up divorce directly.

But unexpectedly he said:

"My company is on the rise, and a marriage that is too short would damage my image. Could I wait another six months or so? Or even three months would be fine."

Mu Zhou had said the same thing before, and Xu Ran had agreed at the time.

Therefore, if Mu Zhou were to refuse at this moment, it would seem that she was too cold-hearted.

However, in the original story, he didn't care about his personal image at all and divorced her without hesitation.

Mu Zhou didn't care what he was up to.

She stared at Xu Ran for a few seconds, seemingly making a difficult decision.

But in the end, she agreed:

"Ok."

Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth were no longer so tense.

And so, Mu Zhou continued working in the secretary's office.

As soon as she got to work that day, she looked at the calendar.

Tomorrow is Saturday, the day of the torrential rain that triggered the mudslide.

Heavy rain is rare this time of year; no one expected it.

Mu Zhou's phone suddenly vibrated. He looked at the message from Lin Yumo and silently curled his lips.

Jiang Chenbai is a ruthless and unscrupulous person.

He said he wanted to take revenge on Lin Yumo, and he really meant he wanted to drive her to the brink of despair.

With both old and new grudges combined, his methods became increasingly brutal.

The Lin family's business suffered a severe blow, and Lin Yumo's own invested companies also faced serious negative publicity.
