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

Chapter 37: The Invisible Employee in the Overlord's Company (7)

In the car, after Mu Zhou's preemptive apology, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Qin Yunchuan...seems angry?

Mu Zhou watched quietly, somewhat hesitant to believe it.

He didn't say anything when I refuted Qu Peixi, and even chased after me to take me home. Isn't that a disguised form of support?

It's not possible that he came here specifically to criticize and educate her.

Mu Zhou's mind was spinning rapidly. Qin Yunchuan saw that she seemed frightened and had to force himself to slow down his voice:

"Didn't I tell you not to apologize so easily?"

Mu Zhou looked at him blankly.

It turned out that he suddenly became angry for this reason.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhou's eyes suddenly turned red. He lowered his head to cover up his mistake and hurriedly adjusted the frame of his glasses.

Qin Yunchuan thought that his serious tone frightened her, and couldn't help but explain:

“I’m not angry, nor am I criticizing you, I’m just giving you advice.

If someone is always apologizing, they will be seen by those around them as the one who has to take the blame, even if the fault may not be theirs.

Mu Zhou shook her head, her voice choking for a moment: "I know, I just..." She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling noticeably, "This is the first time someone has told me this, President Qin, thank you."

Mu Zhou looked up and looked directly at Qin Yunchuan so boldly for the first time.

Her eyes were always hidden behind thick glasses, and she always kept her head half-lowered, so it was the first time that Qin Yunchuan saw her eyes clearly.

She has slender almond-shaped eyes that are curved inward and outward, giving her a natural charm.

Being stared at by her so seriously, Qin Yunchuan's heart suddenly began to feel hot.

This particular strange feeling made him cough lightly, and he quickly looked away and changed the subject:

"You are very brave today."

Normally, he would just swallow his anger when bullied by employees of lower rank than him, but today he made a well-reasoned argument, which surprised Qin Yunchuan.

Seeing that he was avoiding her gaze, Mu Zhou was secretly delighted and followed his topic to explain:

"I'm fine with myself, but since it involves the company and President Qin, I don't want to be implicated or misunderstood because of me."

Qin Yunchuan had just said it casually, but he didn't expect to get such a straightforward and sincere answer.

He was silent for a few seconds, and then a low voice sounded in Mu Zhou's ears:

"You did very well."

Mu Zhou stared at him blankly after being praised, a smile gradually appearing in the corners of his eyes: "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

Back home, Mu Zhou took off his thick glasses.

The original owner's myopia was not severe, only over 100 degrees, and not wearing glasses would not affect his daily life.

But because she was very afraid of making eye contact with others, she deliberately wore a pair of large square black-framed glasses, and added thick bangs, trying to cover her entire face.

Mu Zhou used a hairpin to lift up all his bangs, revealing his complete face.

Looking at the familiar pair of almond-shaped eyes, Mu Zhou raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

That’s right, this time the original owner’s eyes were hers.

She blinked in satisfaction.

It’s a pity that I have to hide my eyes behind glasses every day.

It seems that I need to find an opportunity to replace those glasses appropriately.

Just then her cell phone rang.

He is the original owner's father.

Mu Zhou continued to wash up slowly, and only picked up the phone when it rang for the fourth time after he finished.

"Mu Zhou, you've grown wings now, haven't you? You pissed your mother off to the point of having her hospitalized, and yet you dared not answer the phone? You're truly amazing."

Mu's father's voice was full of energy. Mu Zhou replied while taking care of his skin:

"Last month, I paid for a full physical checkup for you all, and you are all healthy."

The original owner was a very filial daughter. She would spend tens of thousands of dollars every year to bring her parents to Haicheng for a full physical examination.

She knew their physical conditions very well.

Mother Mu just wanted to play that kind of drama again, using filial piety and moral pressure to force the original owner to bow his head while she was sick in bed.

Over the years, whenever the original owner showed a little bit of rebellious consciousness, Mother Mu would do this.

Father Mu on the other end of the phone was choked by her words.

In the past, whenever he said this, his daughter would immediately worry and rush back overnight. Why did she change this time?

After realizing what Mu Zhou said, he was stunned for a few seconds and then suddenly became furious.

"What's so great about you taking us for a physical checkup? Do you think we're precious? I think you've earned some filthy money in the big city and you've forgotten your own name. Where else in the world can you find a daughter like you? You don't respect filial piety and bring misfortune to your family!"

Father Mu felt that his authority was challenged and was furious.

Mu Zhou put on the mask and picked up the phone again, his tone still calm:

"There are not many daughters as filial as me in the world. When I was in school, I did all the housework at home, including washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning. I even washed your stinky socks.

When I was in college, I relied on loans to pay for tuition and worked part-time to pay for living expenses.

After graduation, I will pay you most of my salary every month, take you for regular physical examinations, and buy you whatever you want. If you say you have a headache, I will take leave and rush back overnight.

I was sick and wanted some money to see a doctor, but you guys kept making excuses and refused to give me any money, and I didn't say anything.

I think there aren’t many daughters who can do what I have done.”

When the original owner decided to stay in Haicheng for the first time despite her family's opposition, Mu's parents felt a sense of crisis, fearing that their daughter would grow up and fly away, so they always tormented her.

Often, a phone call would come suddenly in the early morning, saying that the owner was feeling unwell and asking him to go home immediately.

During that time, the original owner kept taking leave to take them to see doctors all over the country, but they couldn't find any problems, and the original owner didn't complain at all.

In the end, the original owner took too many days off, and the two of them were worried that the company would fire him, and they would lose a daughter who could earn a high salary, so they reluctantly calmed down.

Later, the original owner needed surgery for appendicitis. She had given all her salary to her parents and had no money left. She wanted to borrow some money from them, but they accused her of wasting money and told her to be patient. They also warned her, "If you have surgery on your abdomen before you get married, you might not be accepted by your future husband."

In the end, the original owner had to borrow money from his colleagues before he could undergo the surgery.

The original owner never speaks out about the grievances, so the parents just ignore them with peace of mind.

But Mu Zhou didn't intend to continue to indulge him.

She didn't give the person on the line a chance to vent, and continued:

"Since you and Mom both feel that I've brought shame upon you and brought misfortune upon our family, I won't be returning to that home anymore, and I won't be giving you any more salary. Oh, I will definitely fulfill the state-required support, and when you reach retirement age, I'll give you 800 yuan a month."

In their small town, 800 per month is enough for two people to live on.

Moreover, the money the original owner had saved and sent back over the years was at least 300,000 yuan.

The parents on the other end of the phone seemed frightened when they heard Mu Zhou's resoluteness, but they soon forced themselves to continue accusing him:

"Alright, your mother and I have raised you for over twenty years in vain. As long as you don't mind being embarrassed or being criticized, we'll just pretend we don't have a daughter like you!"

"Okay, it's a deal."
