Chapter 251 The Pastry Chef Implicated for No Reason (21)

Mu Zhou was a little dazed early in the morning.

Secretary Lin, who happened to be in CC Secret Realm on business, immediately noticed that something was wrong with Mu Zhou.

She had already listed Mu Zhou as a key target, so when she noticed something was wrong, she walked up to him and asked him calmly.

Mu Zhou didn't say much at first, but after Secretary Lin's clever probing with a few words, he roughly figured out the specific reason.

After a few words of comfort in a gentle voice, Secretary Lin returned to the company.

In Su Jinyan's office, Secretary Lin put down the coffee and observed him carefully.

Su Jinyan's expression was as serious as ever, and he handled his work with decisiveness, as if he would never lose control for any reason.

But Secretary Lin had seen him lose control last time because of Mu Zhou.

That's why she was struggling over whether or not to tell him about Mu Zhou.

If it were someone else, she wouldn't even have this idea. After all, bringing up non-work related topics with Su Jinyan during working hours would only mean she didn't want to do it anymore.

But she wasn't sure if that person was Mu Zhou.

Just as she was hesitating, Su Jinyan opened his eyes and looked at her coldly.

No words were spoken, but the meaning was clear.

Let her speak quickly and don't waste time.

So Secretary Lin immediately told Mu Zhou about his encounter with him.

"Ms. Mu's parents will be coming to City A soon, but Miss Mu's relationship with them doesn't seem to be very good. This incident has put a lot of pressure on Miss Mu. When I saw her today, she had dark circles under her eyes, and it was obvious she hadn't gotten enough rest."

After Secretary Lin told Su Jinyan everything he had found out, Su Jinyan did not ask any more questions. He wanted to ask the secretary to investigate Mu Zhou's family relationships, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up.

Su Jinyan decided to ask in person.

After get off work, Mu Zhou dawdled on his way home.

She did not choose to take the subway, but just walked along the roadside, her movements mechanical and her expression gloomy, not knowing what she was thinking.

So much so that she didn't even notice Su Jinyan's car when it stopped beside her.

Su Jinyan took a few quick steps and grabbed her wrist from behind, and Mu Zhou seemed to come to her senses.

After seeing Su Jinyan, she forced herself to curl her lips:

"What a coincidence."

Su Jinyan saw that she looked dazed and was trying hard to talk to him, and he felt distressed.

"Let's go, get in the car."

Without saying anything, he took Mu Zhou into the car.

The car drove all the way to Fulou.

This is a traditional high-end restaurant.

The environment is beautiful and quiet, and the interior is decorated in the style of a small bridge and flowing water.

Sitting in the pavilion box and listening to the sound of gurgling water beside you, one feels much more relaxed.

Mu Zhou looked at the fish swimming happily in the stream, and the worry on his face was much less. He even fed them with great interest.

After feeding all the fish food in his hand, he finally remembered to ask Su Jinyan:

"Why are you suddenly inviting me to dinner?"

"Because I want to have dinner with you."

Su Jinyan seemed to answer nonchalantly, but in fact his jawline was tense as he observed every tiny change on Mu Zhou's face calmly.

But after hearing this, Mu Zhou just lowered his eyes, said "oh" silently, and deliberately avoided the topic.

Su Jinyan felt a lump in his throat.

He knew that Mu Zhou was hiding.

Su Jinyan stiffened his body, picked up the wine glass beside him and took a sip of wine.

The wine that usually tastes just right tastes sour and bitter today.

*

Su Jinyan was afraid of affecting her mood for eating, so he didn't mention Mu Zhou's parents until after the meal.

"You didn't look very well when I saw you just now. What happened?"

Seeing Mu Zhou subconsciously shaking his head in denial.

Su Jinyan's voice slowed down, and he called her name helplessly and lovingly:

"Mu Zhou."

This tone of voice, as if he was coaxing her, suddenly gave her the illusion that he would be infinitely tolerant of her.

Perhaps the pressure was too great, and under such a gentle offensive, she no longer concealed it.

The original owner's father, Mu Weiguo, was very patriarchal. Although he had no achievements at work and was cowardly and bullied at work, he had absolute power at home and did not allow anyone to disobey him. He had the final say.

Even if it is an area he has no knowledge of, he will still intervene and make decisions.

For example, the original owner’s work problems.

He didn't even know what the original owner's major was, but he just heard that it would be easy to find a job, so he asked her to study it.

Later, she found that there were no good jobs in the small county town, and blamed her for being incompetent. She hurriedly asked people for gifts and asked them to give her a job.

The original owner argued in a low voice that he could also find a job, but after being scolded, he obeyed obediently.

Growing up in such a family, she had long forgotten what resistance was.

So, I was sent to the small restaurant where my uncle worked.

Before coming to City A, the original owner heard from Mu Weiguo that his uncle worked in a big hotel. He thought it might be a good job as the hotel would definitely need a dessert chef.

When I got there, I found out that it was just a small stir-fry restaurant.

In order to save money, the boss was unwilling to hire an extra chef, so he could only recruit cheap labor under the guise of taking in apprentices. The job was hard, tiring and low-paid, and no one else was willing to do it except the original owner.

How could Mu Weiguo, who had never left the county in his life, know this? He was even more unwilling to hear it from his daughter.

Whenever the original owner tried to tell him that this was not a good job, he would always curse:

"You've grown so strong after being away for a while that you even dare to lecture your father. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. Do I need you to tell me?"

How could he accept that his daughter, who had always been timid and could not even raise her head after being scolded by him, actually knew more than him.

So he instinctively rejected it.

Then he complained about how much favors he had to pay in order to find a job for the original owner, and asked her to do more work to help her uncle share the burden.

If the original owner dared to say that the money was not enough, he would be scolded.

"Have you picked up some bad habits from those spoiled city girls? How could you possibly not have enough money if you live honestly? I'm telling you, you're from the countryside. You should retain your rural simplicity and not be greedy for pleasure!"

After a round of suppression, the original owner had no choice but to accept his fate and continue working.

In the original world, when Mu Weiguo learned that the original owner died in the cold storage because he wanted to steal something and was accidentally trapped inside, he was so angry that he didn't even want to take the original owner's body away.

He had no doubt.

He has always been this kind of person. He believes everything people outside say, but he doesn't believe anyone at home.

He never thought that his honest daughter could be a thief. He just thought that his daughter had learned bad things outside, so after getting the compensation, he hurriedly took the original owner's body home.

As for the original owner's mother, the attributes of her wife are greater than those of her mother.

Husband comes before daughter.

So when faced with her husband's suppression of her daughter, she always stood aside anxiously and panicked, but dared not say a word.

When the original owner was young, she was not talkative. When she saw Mu Weiguo's friends, her voice was too soft to call "uncle". Mu Weiguo disliked her for embarrassing him, so he made her stand outside in light clothes in the middle of winter, under the pretext of training her willpower.
