After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

"no!"

Before the woman could finish speaking, Zhou Yu immediately denied her words, "I didn't mean anything! I thought the same thing as you, I just wanted to go home and relax by painting, that's all!"

Seeing the man's nervous appearance, Mu Chenxi stopped teasing him and a faint smile appeared between her deep and beautiful eyes.

As the van drove towards home, just as it entered the villa's perimeter, Zhou Yu spotted Zhou Zhengwen standing under the eaves of the villa, trying to avoid the sun.

Zhou Yu's expression immediately turned grim.

What is Zhou Zhengwen doing here again?

The luxury car was parked in front of the villa. Zhou Yu got out of the car before Mu Chenxi, and looked coldly at Zhou Zhengwen who was walking towards them with a smile, "What are you doing here again?"

Zhou Yu now loathes Zhou Zhengwen and his son. They're like a leech, impossible to shake off.

As expected, after watching the woman get out of the business car in her wheelchair, Zhou Zhengwen shamelessly smiled and went up to her, "Ms. Mu, I've been waiting for you and Zhou Yu here for quite a while. I heard from the servants that you and Zhou Yu went out yesterday. Did you go to see Old Madam Mu?"

Mu Chenxi's face was cold and aloof. When she raised her eyes, an immense sense of pressure swept over her. However, her eyes were indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger. "Is there something you need?"

Zhou Zhengwen didn't beat around the bush and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious... Zhou Yu got engaged to the Xu family before, and at the same time, our Zhou family and the Xu family also finalized a business deal. Ms. Mu, you know the Xu family's power. Although it can't compare to your Mu family, this business deal is still very helpful to the Zhou family and directly affects the Zhou family's life and death."

As he spoke, Zhou Zhengwen's smile deepened, "But now... now that Ms. Mu and my son are married, the cooperation with the Xu family is naturally off. I think, both morally and logically, shouldn't you take the Xu family's place and cooperate with us... after all, you are now my Zhou family's daughter-in-law, and we shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders."

Zhou Yu was furious; he was truly impressed by Zhou Zhengwen's shamelessness.

How could his mother have ever fallen for such a jerk?!

What qualifications does Zhou Zhengwen's small, shabby company have to cooperate with a top-tier international enterprise like Mu's?!

Unexpectedly, before Zhou Yu could speak, Mu Chenxi spoke first, her voice cold and indifferent, revealing no emotion, "Okay."

Indeed, the scale of the Zhou family's operations... in her eyes, was like a child's game.

Due to years of mismanagement, it has long since become unnecessary to exist.

Rather than being defeated by Zhou Zhengwen, it would be better to lend a hand to Zhou Yu and hand the Zhou family over to him.

After all, they were already married, so she should give him a gift.

Let's take advantage of this collaboration to settle this matter as well.

Mu Chenxi suddenly remembered that day when she went to the Zhou family to pick up Zhou Yu to get their marriage certificate. When Zhou Yu told Zhou Zhengwen that he wanted to go back to the trust company, Zhou Zhengwen actually dared to be fierce to Zhou Yu in front of her.

It is evident how much unfair treatment Zhou Yu has suffered in the Zhou family over the years.

Thinking of this, Mu Chenxi lowered her deep eyes, hiding that sharp emotion in her heart.

Upon hearing that the woman was willing to cooperate, Zhou Zhengwen was overjoyed. "That's great! Ms. Mu, Zhou Yu and I are family, so I won't say much more. If Zhou Yu ever misbehaves or treats you badly, just call me, and I'll personally come and teach him a lesson! I absolutely won't let him cause you any trouble!"

Hearing Zhou Zhengwen's words, Zhou Yu's face darkened.

How can there be such shameless people in this world?!

After sending Zhou Zhengwen away, Zhou Yu frowned and looked anxiously at the woman in the wheelchair who was as steady as a mountain, a stark contrast to him. "Mu Chenxi, why did you agree to cooperate with the Zhou family? His cooperation with the Xu family fell through, so why did you take over and get involved? You don't know him. He's like a leech; once he gets involved with you, he'll keep sucking your blood. You'll only suffer losses with him!"

Mu Chenxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. We're married now, so my money is your money, and I won't let you lose out."

Zhou Yu: "...?"

This sudden... strange feeling.

"By the way, what kind of business did the Zhou family and the Xu family discuss before?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu raised his eyes and thought for a moment, "It seems to be... the jade business..."

Mu Chenxi nodded slightly, "That's perfect. I have a batch of materials here, but the partner hasn't been decided yet."

As she spoke, she looked up at the boy's face. "By the way, I'm on vacation and have nothing to do. What do you want to do today? I'll keep you company."

Zhou Yu was taken aback by the woman's sudden comment. "Uh... I'm sorry, I have a painting class today, and I have to go there in a bit."

"..."

Mu Chenxi's face immediately darkened.

She finally managed to free up a day to spend with him and nurture their relationship, but...

Zhou Yu, of course, had no idea what she was thinking. He just found it quite amusing that the big boss looked so unhappy, so he tentatively suggested, "How about I come back early tonight and cook you a big meal myself? You can try my cooking skills."

Mu Chenxi pinched the bridge of her nose and said helplessly, "Fine, you work hard, I'll pick you up from get off work tonight."

"Yeah...that's fine."

The streets were quiet at night, unlike the bustling atmosphere during the day.

After waiting all afternoon, it was finally Zhou Yu's time to get off work in the evening.

A low-key yet luxurious van was parked by the roadside. A few young employees from the art class came out, but their sharp eyes spotted the car parked on the side of the road.

"Hey, do you think it's President Xu coming to see Brother Zhou again? I heard that Xu Xinran caused a huge scene in the art class last time, saying she wanted to win Brother Zhou back!"

"Who knows? But such a life is truly enviable. The Xu family is a business elite in Yuncheng, not something that ordinary people can compare to."

The group discussed it curiously, occasionally peering into the car, trying to see who was inside.

Disappointingly, the black luxury van had privacy film on its windows, so no matter how much they looked, they couldn't tell if anyone was inside.

"With such a beautiful and wealthy man pursuing her, if I were Brother Zhou, I would agree to Xu Xinran's proposal immediately. After all, she is such a rare woman, and she is so young. She will definitely achieve great things in the future! Such a good woman must be firmly held in my hands!"

"Zhou Yu is handsome and talented, he's incomparable to us."

"Yeah, and I heard that Brother Zhou got married? Is it true? He looks so young, I wonder which one is his wife."
