Chapter 22 The White Moonlight Who Killed the Male Lead’s Brother (22)
As soon as Jing Zhan left, the pain and sadness on Mu Zhou's face also disappeared.
She calmly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
0001 couldn't help but remind:
[Host, is this a bit too radical? ]
【Don't worry.】
This hurdle must be overcome, and this is a good opportunity.
Otherwise, Jing Zhan would probably never make everything clear.
*
In the days that followed, Jing Zhan probably couldn't face Mu Zhou, so he disappeared for a while.
Later she found out that he had returned to the company that night and asked his assistant to arrange his trip abroad the next day, and he stayed there for two weeks.
Until he was in a foreign country and suddenly heard that familiar name again from his assistant.
"Mr. Jing, Miss Mu just called to resign."
Jing Zhan paused with his pen, and the assistant continued to report:
"She said she will move out soon and won't appear in front of you anymore. You don't have to hide from her all the time."
Jing Zhan's fingers tightly grasped the pen, his cold eyes shot straight at the assistant, and after a moment he said:
"Return home immediately."
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and began to make arrangements.
After getting off the plane, Jing Zhan did not return to the company immediately as usual, but went straight to the villa in the west of the city.
Pushing open the door, Jing Zhan immediately noticed something different from before.
The villa seemed to be much emptier.
Jing Zhan then realized that even though Mu Zhou had not lived here for long, the room was still filled with traces of her life.
But now, nothing is left.
He came to Mu Zhou's room and found that there were still a lot of clothes in the closet.
They were all delivered by him that day and had not been opened yet, so Mu Zhou did not take them away.
Jing Zhan felt depressed and a little breathless.
Finally, his gaze fell on the bedside, where a crumpled piece of paper lay.
He walked closer and took the piece of paper in his hand, only then he realized that it was a business card.
Lee Sung-chul.
Jing Zhan narrowed his eyes, and the calmness he tried so hard to conceal could no longer be maintained. He clenched the business card in his palm, squeezing so hard that his knuckles turned pale.

On the other side, Mu Zhou returned to Qiancun, the urban village where the rent was only 500 yuan.
At the same time, I received a call from my uncle.
"Uncle knows that I was too cruel to you before, but that's not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame it on Mr. Jing's huge influence. We can't do anything about it. Don't blame us. Now we have heard that Mr. Jing is no longer trying to kill you. So, come back for dinner. Your aunt and I miss you very much."
Her uncle spoke in a roundabout way, but his ultimate goal was to get her to go back.
Mu Zhou knew that they must have heard that Jing Zhan and he had a special relationship, and also heard that he was dumped again.
That’s right, ever since she and Jing Zhan left Jiang Ran’s birthday party that day, the rumors that they had a special relationship were almost confirmed.
Jing Zhan, who has always been averse to women, actually had a scandal, and the object of the scandal was the person he once hated the most. This was simply unacceptable.
Almost everyone was wondering when Mu Zhou would be kicked.
So, after Jing Zhan went abroad for a long time, rumors began to spread that Mu Zhou was dumped.
Mu Zhou's uncle naturally heard about it too.
When Jing Zhan hated Mu Zhou before, he didn't dare to offend Jing Zhan, so he drove his niece out of the house. When he learned that his niece and Jing Zhan were in a relationship, he didn't dare to show up rashly, for fear that his niece would take the opportunity to retaliate.
Now that his niece has been dumped, he finally shows up impatiently.
Mu Zhou did not refuse his uncle's invitation.
She looked carefully outside her uncle's apartment for a long time before knocking on the door.
"The boat is here, come in quickly."
Mu Zhou was not as nervous as before about his uncle and aunt's enthusiasm, but accepted it calmly.
This made my uncle a little dissatisfied.
But thinking about what was going to happen next, he had to be patient for the time being.
Mu Zhou walked around the room, taking in the layout. His aunt said hurriedly:
"I've kept your previous room for you. I'll have it cleaned regularly, and you're welcome to come back anytime you want."
Mu Zhou looked at the familiar room and chuckled.
This is where Mu Zhou lived with his parents when he was a child.
The Mu family was originally a large family, but it was not so prosperous during Mu Zhou’s grandfather’s generation. By the time of Mu Zhou’s father, they were only considered moderately wealthy.
Later, my parents' business rebounded. Not long after they bought this large flat, their net worth increased several times over, and they soon moved into a large villa where wealthy people often lived.
This idle house was given to Mu Zhou's uncle.
Later, when the Mu family went bankrupt, Mu Zhou thought of this house.
She didn't dare to ask her uncle to give her the house. After all, if the house was under her parents' name, it would probably be seized.
She just wanted to stay for a while, work and save some money and then leave. After all, the house was given to her uncle by her parents.
Moreover, my parents are usually very good to my uncle's family. They paid for my cousin to attend a prestigious private school, bought cars and stores for my uncle and aunt, and gave him money to start a business.
She thought her uncle wouldn't refuse.
But Mu Zhou's uncle denied her statement.
Uncle said that he had bought this house and paid for it, so Mu Zhou had no reason to live here.
Finally, at Mu Zhou's request, her uncle finally agreed to let her stay temporarily, but she had to take care of the housework and all the money she earned from working.
At that time, Mu Zhou had just experienced the death of his parents and the bankruptcy of his family. He still had a desire for family affection, but was also afraid of facing the rumors outside alone, so even so, he still agreed.
But at this time, Mu Zhou didn't intend to let it go.
She fell in love with the house here and planned to come back.
Mu Zhou knew very well that the original owner's parents would not ask his uncle for money and would just give the house away for free.
But even so, after his brother and sister-in-law passed away, he was unwilling to help his only niece and only thought about how to squeeze her dry.
*
After a round of inspection, Mu Zhou came to the table and sat down.
When her aunt brought the food out from the kitchen, she looked unhappy with her droopy face when she saw that she really didn't help at all.
Mu Zhou pretended not to see it, picked up the chopsticks and started eating first.
In the past, she was the only one who cooked here, and only when they had left some would Mu Zhou have the chance to eat some, otherwise he would have to go hungry.
If not for this, she wouldn't have suffered from hypoglycemia and almost had a car accident, and was rescued by Jingyu.
Thinking of this, she thought of Jing Zhan again.
I heard from 0001 that he returned home this morning.
It seems that they are about to meet.
After dinner, my uncle finally got down to business.
"Xiao Zhou, you're not young anymore. As your elders, your aunt and I can't just ignore you. We've thought about your lifelong affairs carefully and have found a very good partner. You can go meet him tonight."
"Very good? How good is it, do I know it?"
Uncle's eyes flickered, but he still smiled and said:
"Don't worry, we can't harm you. He's the boss of your cousin's company. If you marry him, you'll have a good life. Don't worry."
Mu Zhou raised his eyebrows.
Oh, so they sold themselves in exchange for their own son’s career.
If she remembered correctly, her cousin's boss had been married twice and had three children, who were only a few years younger than her uncle.
Mu Zhou gave an intriguing smile, without saying a word, just staring at his uncle.
My uncle coughed lightly, feeling inexplicably guilty, and quickly avoided my sight.
He thought Mu Zhou would fiercely resist and refuse, but unexpectedly, Mu Zhou agreed so easily:
"Okay."
Looking at the excited expressions of his uncle and aunt, a hint of coldness flashed across Mu Zhou's eyes.
How could she miss the opportunity to completely ruin her cousin's career?
