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

The servants, who have served the wealthy for many years, know that many rich people simply throw away their shoes and clothes when they get dirty, without washing them.

However, given her status, they couldn't directly ask if she wanted to be thrown away, so they gave her two other options and waited for the owner to say so.

Unexpectedly, Shen Linshu was stunned when he heard this.

泥？

Why is there mud?

Although it rained yesterday, Mu Zhou was either at home or in the commercial street, and then he was picked up and taken home.

How come there's mud on my shoes?

For some reason, he felt uneasy.

Looking at the mud left on the soles of my shoes and the scratches on the uppers, my phone suddenly rang.

He pressed answer.

As the person on the other end spoke, his expression gradually darkened.

Jiang Chenbai and Lin Yumo died yesterday in a mudslide caused by torrential rain halfway up the mountain.

"understood."

He hung up the phone, his gaze falling on the pair of leather shoes.

Shen Linshu's eyes trembled slightly. He spoke, his voice calm and unremarkable:

"Never mind, just send over a few more pairs of new shoes."

With someone watching the casserole cooking in the kitchen, Shen Linshu carried the pair of leather shoes into the study.

After making several phone calls, he sat stiffly in his chair for a long time, his face serious.

He loved playing by himself from a young age. Outsiders thought he had an eccentric personality, but actually, his sense of smell was much more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

Most people pick up the unique scent of wherever they go.

This was a burden for him, and he didn't like it.

Today, when Mu Zhou got into the car, he smelled the scent of mountain plants.

That was the lingering scent of the fresh air from the mountains.

Mu Zhou went to the mountains.

But she said she had been at home and then came shopping, so Shen Linshu didn't think much of it.

He thought that perhaps Mu Zhou had gone to the mountains before, and there were still traces of it on his clothes.

But the fresh mud on the soles of his shoes and the obvious scratches left behind, coupled with the fact that he had just learned that Jiang Chenbai and Lin Yumo had died halfway up the mountain during yesterday's torrential rain.

All of this told him that things weren't so simple.

He didn't know what had happened or why Mu Zhou wouldn't tell him, so he could only send someone to investigate.

Shen Linshu hoped it was just a coincidence and that he was overthinking things.

But if there really is a connection, he must erase all information before the Jiang and Lin families discover it.

We must not let anyone discover that Mu Zhou is involved.

He quickly composed himself, cleaned up all the marks on the shoes, destroyed the shoes, and then returned to the kitchen.

*

Upstairs in his bedroom, Mu Zhou looked at the messages on his phone.

The bodies of Jiang Chenbai and Lin Yumo have been found.

They didn't make it out alive.

Mu Zhou could roughly guess that they were terrified after discovering she wasn't in the car, the car was out of gas, her phone was either gone, or she had been infected with a virus.

There was probably anger as well.

They might not have understood it at that time either.

I don't understand why she did that.

Or perhaps, she wouldn't even know what she did when she was about to die, and could only watch helplessly as the flood came.

But all doubts, fears, and anger will vanish the moment the floodwaters rush in.

Things gradually calmed down.

The public now knows that the two people killed in the landslide yesterday were Lin Yumo and Jiang Chenbai.

Because they are all sons and daughters of wealthy families, there has been a lot of discussion surrounding them.

Everyone was curious as to why the two, who had just broken off their engagement, would go to the mountainside together.

Could it be that their relationship has rekindled?

Or is there some other ulterior motive?

Mu Zhou watched the heated discussion and gave a cryptic smile.

In the original storyline, after the original owner died, no one cared about her name or even her gender.

It's unexpected that the deaths of these two people in a mudslide would attract so much attention.

Sure enough, even the degree to which people care about human life varies.

Just as Mu Zhou was about to get up, he heard 0001's reminder.

She was startled.

Shen Linshu discovered it?

Based on the mud and scratches on the soles of the shoes?

This person is incredibly smart.

0001 corrected:

The male lead has an extraordinary sense of smell; he detected a mountain scent on you.

Mu Zhou: "..."

She really didn't expect this.

However, upon learning of his next move, an unreadable emotion flashed in Mu Zhou's eyes.

Is he... trying to help her clean up the mess?

Originally, Mu Zhou planned to have 0001 keep a close eye on things, but since Shen Linshu was going to take action, it saved her the trouble.

She pretended not to know anything, washed up, and put on the new clothes that the maid had brought.

Downstairs, Shen Linshu had already prepared the seafood porridge.

"It came just in time."

He smiled at Mu Zhou, as if nothing had happened.

Mu Zhou took a bite of the seafood porridge and was very satisfied.

The delicious flavor quickly spread between her lips and teeth, making her stomach, which had been dry for a long time and had been overworked, feel much better.

Besides the seafood congee, there were several stir-fried dishes on the table.

These are all foods that Mu Zhou loves to eat.

Even after they had both finished eating, Shen Linshu showed no unusual expression.

He then persuaded Mu Zhou to go to the screening room to watch a movie.

It was at this moment that Mu Zhou received Xu Ran's call.

He also learned about Jiang Chenbai and Lin Yumo's affair.

He called simply to check on Mu Zhou's safety.

Just as she was relieved that she hadn't gotten involved in the accident involving the two, she heard a man's ambiguous voice coming from next to Mu Zhou.

"Would you like some strawberries? I'll feed you."

Mu Zhou's voice then became much more muffled.

It looks like she's eating a strawberry.

Or perhaps not.

Xu Ran recognized the man instantly.

This opportunistic person, who only knows how to take advantage of others' weaknesses, actually harassed Mu Zhou again while he was away on a business trip.

Xu Ran's face darkened, looking extremely ugly.

Before he could say anything, Mu Zhou hung up the phone.

Xu Ran, who is usually calm and composed, was so angry that she was unable to concentrate on her work.

I just wish I could go back to China immediately.

Meanwhile, back in China, Shen Linshu wanted Mu Zhou to move in with him.

When coercion failed, he resorted to seduction.

In the end, Mu Zhou succumbed to his good looks and agreed to move in.

Shen Linshu couldn't wait any longer and took action that very night, sending people to clean up.

Mu Zhou was worried and decided to go himself.

I only realized my shoes were missing when I went outside.

Shen Linshu casually opened the shoe cabinet next to him:

"The maid accidentally damaged the shoes while shining them, so I had a few new pairs sent over. Take a look and see if there are any you like to wear for now. I'll have the latest season's shoes sent over later."

Shen Linshu dared not show the slightest sign of anything unusual.

He thought that if this matter was really related to Mu Zhou, then she must be terrified right now.

She dared not tell anyone, and was afraid of being discovered, which should be due to her distrust of the environment around her.

Therefore, he couldn't let her know what he had noticed.

Otherwise, she might be unable to sleep at night due to fear.

He could only pretend he didn't know.

Mu Zhou blinked at him, realizing that he had no intention of asking any questions.

There wasn't even a probe.

She didn't say much and just picked out a pair at random.

*

Xu Ran returned on the third day.

I went to Mu Zhou's house on the day I landed, only to find that she had already moved out.

He stood for a long time at the door, holding the gift he had chosen for a long time, his figure forlorn.

It's okay, I'll see him at the company tomorrow.

He comforted himself with this thought.

Unexpectedly, he received Mu Zhou's resignation letter the very next morning.
