Chapter 494 The Orphan Girl Who Will No Longer Be Manipulated (20)
Most importantly, Gu Yanli also bought the apartment where Mu Zhou lived and gave it to her.
Don't give her a chance to refuse at all.
Gu Yanli stared at her, his tone indifferent:
"Finished?"
Mu Zhou nodded.
That's all.
"Is it my turn?"
Hearing him say that, Mu Zhou looked up at him with some surprise.
Just listen to him:
"I believe you and Jiang Yan did not agree to what happened today."
But in fact, he had already had someone check all of Mu Zhou and Jiang Yan's movements and call records for the day.
It was confirmed that they had not made any prior agreement, but rather it was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
But he won't say these things.
He knew that saying this would definitely upset the girl in front of him.
"If you don't like the house, you can change to another development. The location here is just average anyway. Tell them what else you like."
Mu Zhou remained silent, but the corner of his lips twitched slightly.
She didn't mean she disliked the style of the gift he gave her; she just didn't want him to give her gifts in the first place!
Gu Yanli didn't know whether he was genuinely ignorant or pretending to be confused.
She couldn't help but glare at him before turning and going upstairs.
Gu Yanli naturally followed.

Inside the room, Gu Yanli watched as Mu Zhou busily packed away some odds and ends.
They were all worthless items and didn't seem to have any sentimental value.
A flash of displeasure crossed his brow:
"Mu Xingbang didn't even prepare these things for you?"
He felt that this was the only explanation.
Mu Zhou paused, then understood.
It's normal for him to know about something as big as family reunion, since he knows about such trivial matters as his own.
She explained:
“He prepared everything for me and even gave me a card. But these things aren’t broken, and it would be a waste to throw them away, so I plan to donate them.”
Mu Zhou wasn't the type to suffer without hardship. Now that things were better, he decided to say goodbye to the past properly.
But she really couldn't bring herself to throw everything away.
Leave the items for those who need them.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanli's coldness softened slightly, but soon after, he raised an eyebrow.
Mu Zhou was not at all surprised that he knew these things.
A fleeting smile of pleasure crossed his eyes.
She knew it, and she accepted it.
Does that mean acceptance of him as a person?
A smile crept into his eyes as he walked behind Mu Zhou and pulled her close to his chest.
Mu Zhou was startled, and before he could react, he was pulled into his arms.
Her back was pressed against his chest, and she felt waves of vibration as he spoke.
"And so, Mu Zhou, you slowly got used to my presence."
His lips touched her earlobe, his low, husky voice seducing her:
"Be my woman with peace of mind. Whatever you want, whether it's the Mu family or anything else, I can help you."
Mu Zhou's lowered eyelids flickered slightly; she certainly wanted to rely on his strength.
but……
She struggled:
"I don't want anything, and I don't need your help."
But Gu Yanli's tall figure held her captive; how could she possibly break free?
She was held even tighter.
"Your mother was driven to her death by this group of people. If Mu Xingbang hadn't been caught cheating, she wouldn't have jumped into the river to commit suicide. If Meng Xiyuan and Mu Jin hadn't meticulously arranged all of this, perhaps your mother could have lived a comfortable life for a while. Mu Xingbang knew all of this, but he didn't pursue it."
In that case, Zhang Mo might still gradually lose Mu Xingbang's love after the child is born.
But by then, she might be able to face it.
The couple deliberately chose to reveal all this just as she was about to give birth, simply to stimulate her to the maximum extent.
There's not a single good person in this family.
Gu Yanli told Mu Zhou these things not to hurt her feelings or make her feel bad.
"I just want you to know that this family isn't really kind to you."
She craves family affection so much; if she gets too involved, she might get hurt.
She only needs to invest her emotions in him.
No one else needs to waste her time, nor do they deserve it.
Upon hearing this, Mu Zhou indeed stopped struggling.
She leaned against Gu Yanli's chest, her whole being shrouded in pain, her eyes and brows filled with traces of sorrow.
Gu Yanli knew he was being somewhat cruel.
She had just reunited with her biological father when she had to accept that he didn't really love her, and she also learned that her father's family was the culprit who drove her mother to her death.
But with things like this, it's better to have a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one.
Rather than investing time and then discovering the pain later, it's better not to waste it on such people in the first place.
Mu Zhou raised her head, her gaze towards Gu Yanli filled with resentment:
Why are you so cruel!
Tears streamed down her face in an instant.
Her red eyes and nose tip gave her a broken yet indescribable tragic beauty.
Gu Yanli's Adam's apple bobbed, and he subconsciously kissed away the tear with his lips.
Then her lips became increasingly hot.
He murmured softly:
"Don't waste your energy on them. You only need me. I will give you everything you want."
My mind and spirit seemed to be in turmoil.
Gu Yanli admitted that he did have selfish motives, but ultimately it was for her own good.
He's all she needs.
Ignoring her continued sobbing, Gu Yanli kissed her harder and harder, finally kissing the red lips that kept him up all night thinking about her.
The moment their lips touched, he began his aggressive assault, leaving Mu Zhou no time to grieve or feel sad.
She was already crying, and Gu Yanli's sudden kiss made her momentarily breathless.
The hands around my waist were hot and strong, slowly kneading my back.
It has a unique flavor.
Her mind was hazy, but she couldn't help but marvel at how good Gu Yanli was at bewitching people.
With such a handsome face, a slight expression of affection is enough to make anyone fall in love.
Mu Zhou's previous resistance was only because if she agreed too happily, it would make her seem a bit out of character.
Gu Yanli's kiss quickly captivated her.
She couldn't help but let out a soft moan as the force applied.
This was quickly met with even more ferocious plundering.

After having dinner, Mu Zhou and Gu Yanli returned to the Mu family home.
It seems that he came back this time just to tell her those things about the Mu family, or perhaps he simply missed her?
Anyway, he hurriedly left the country again after the meal.
She still remembered the words Gu Yanli left behind after biting her hard before he left:
"Mu Zhou, don't try to fool me. Be a good boy and wait for me to come back."
Mu Zhou touched the area below his neck near his shoulder, where a noticeable mark still remained.
That was Gu Yanli's masterpiece.
Mu Zhou was so provoked that he retaliated, but instead of getting revenge, he bit into Gu Yanli's heart.
"Baby, do you want to leave a mark on me too? That won't do, let's find another spot."
After saying that, he placed his large hand on the back of her neck.
His low, husky voice, mixed with a wicked laugh, startled Mu Zhou, who pushed him away and hurriedly got out of the car.
At this time, besides Mu Xingbang, only Mu Ruxin remained in the Mu family.
When she saw Mu Zhou, she hummed softly, making sure no one else could hear her, for fear of upsetting her grandfather again.
The thought of going to work tomorrow made her feel a little irritable.
