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

Chapter 480 The Orphan Girl Who Will No Longer Be Manipulated (6)

The story of Jiang Yan's family has been widely circulated online, and anyone who pays even a little attention to the circles of the wealthy knows about it.

It's nothing more than former business partners turning against each other, and his parents making a wrong move and being framed and imprisoned.

So many people advised him to think more positively, saying that's how things are in business, always a fight to the death.

I still have one life left. I should live well and slowly rebuild my life.

But Jiang Yan was not willing to give up. He was determined to take revenge and reclaim everything that belonged to him.

At this moment, the mask he had worn for years was almost completely shattered, revealing a cold and fierce expression.

But Mu Zhou didn't care; she smiled, pursing her lips.

"There's no right or wrong in this kind of thing. Taking revenge on others and convincing yourself are just ways to put your mind at ease. Whichever makes you feel good and live well is the one that suits you best."

After Mu Zhou finished speaking, Jiang Yan stared at her blankly for a few seconds, then lowered his head and chuckled softly.

As I laughed, my eyes started to well up with tears.

He was once an upright and ambitious young man, but unfortunately, he encountered a misfortune. On one hand, he wanted to take revenge on everyone, but on the other hand, he was under great psychological pressure because of the good education he received since childhood.

With just a few words, Mu Zhou managed to soothe his constantly tense and empty heart.

Then Mu Zhou talked about one of her friends in the orphanage.

The older brother came when he was a teenager. His family had also suffered a misfortune, and his uncle's family had seized his property. He was very gloomy.

For the next ten years or so, he was consumed by revenge. He eventually succeeded and reclaimed his family fortune. But for those ten years, he lived a life worse than death, rejecting almost everyone's kindness and stubbornly choosing to live in misery.

Even after regaining their property, it's hard to be happy again.

Therefore, Mu Zhou advised Jiang Yan:

"Occasional moments of happiness won't affect anything, so don't reject them."

Her eyes were bright and her eyelashes fluttered, making Jiang Yan's heart flutter.

A flame couldn't help but leap in his gentle eyes.

Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, and a man in a suit stood in the doorway.

He had a name tag pinned to his chest, so he must have been a staff member.

The man bowed slightly as he looked at Jiang Yan:

"Manager Jiang, I have some things I'd like to ask you about. Could I take up a little of your time?"

Jiang Yan quickly suppressed his momentary heartbeat and composed himself, saying to Mu Zhou:

"Sorry, I'll leave first."

"Go ahead and get busy, I'll enjoy the night view first."

Jiang Yan nodded:

"I'll have someone send some more desserts; you can have some first."

Sure enough, after he left, a waiter brought over mango mille-feuille and hawthorn plum ice cream.

Mu Zhou was a little surprised.

Both of these flavors are her favorites.

She guessed that the suspicious Jiang Yan had probably investigated her after their first meeting, which was why he knew so much about her.

However, whatever the reason, it's still her favorite flavor.

Mu Zhou happily held the ice cream and sat down by the window.

The winding path outside the window is secluded and quiet, with lights twinkling like fireflies, creating a unique atmosphere.

The tranquil scenery made even the gentle breeze seem less bleak.

She ate the hawthorn and plum flavored ice cream and felt incredibly refreshed.

Not far away, a pair of narrow eyes were staring intently at her through the window.

Gu Yanli's face was still deathly pale, showing no warmth whatsoever.

Looking at the person outside the window, he gave a slight smirk, his tone indifferent:

"It's more seductive than I imagined."

Gu Yanli saw it very clearly.

Jiang Yanming had clearly hardened his heart, but under Mu Zhou's subtle yet persuasive words, he slowly lowered his guard and even let down his guard.

She is dangerous.

Gu Yanli's instincts told him this.

He narrowed his eyes, twirling a ring on his index finger with one hand.

A sharp gaze that concealed malice was hard to ignore, so Mu Zhou quickly noticed it.

She looked over, puzzled.

However, the window was one-way, so people outside couldn't see inside. Therefore, Mu Zhou just glanced at it casually and quickly looked away.

After a while, having finished the whole ice cream, she was probably a little cold, so she closed the window.

After Mu Zhou sat back down, a sudden sense of panic flashed through his mind.

Just now, someone was clearly watching her from behind the window.

Who is the one.

Could it be the Mu family? Or perhaps Meng Xiyuan's people?

However, that familiar danger and the instinct to run away made Mu Zhou inexplicably think of that man.

Gu Yanli.

Could it be him?

It's not impossible.

Jiang Yan works here, so this shop is most likely owned by Gu Yanli.

Did he suspect that his motives were impure?

In the story, Gu Yanli is a mysterious and extremely guarded person whose upbringing has made him unable to trust anyone.

In particular, he had suffered a serious injury before returning to China.

However, this also completely resolved the family's future problems, allowing them to focus on gradually transferring their businesses back to China.

If the person targeting her really is Gu Yanli, then things will get complicated.

He will inevitably keep Jiang Yan away from him, so how will she complete her mission?

Should I try to gain some favor with Gu Yanli and make him lower his guard?

Mu Zhou sighed and silently finished the entire mango mille-feuille.

It was only then that Jiang Yan called.

"I'm sorry, I'm a bit busy here. I'll have someone take you there first, and I'll treat you properly another day."

"It's alright, you can go about your business. I can go back by myself."

"No, it's not safe this late. I've already had someone park the car at the entrance."

Jiang Yan insisted, so Mu Zhou did not refuse.

She put on her coat and left.

After reaching the door, she glanced left and right but did not see the car Jiang Yan had driven when he arrived.

As Mu Zhou was wondering whether to call Jiang Yan, the man in the suit she had just seen in the private room walked over.

"Miss Mu, the car that will take you home is here."

"Thank you."

Mu Zhou didn't think much of it and followed him to the side, where he saw a familiar car parked.

That classic Bentley.

Mu Zhou suddenly stopped, his heart skipping a beat.

The car door had already been opened, and the man in the suit gestured for them to enter.

"Miss Mu, please."

Mu Zhou swallowed silently.

It's alright, even if Gu Yanli is in the car, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, she originally intended to clear Gu Yanli's name, which would also be beneficial for her future pursuit of Jiang Yan.

After pausing for a few seconds, Mu Zhou calmly walked towards the car.

As I bent down to get into the car, I saw that familiar man.

Although Mu Zhou was stunned, he wasn't too surprised.

She smiled gently at Gu Yanli, said "Thank you for your help" and sat down.

After she was settled, the car drove off smoothly.

Inside the car, a suffocating chill permeated the air.
