Chapter 631 Are You Her Fan?
Hanyan felt insulted.
"Why do all of you men only care about Ziyue? What's so good about her?"
"You are not fit to know!" Shichu responded coldly and left straight away. He didn't give Hanyan a chance to catch up with him.
Hanyan stood wide-eyed on her spot. She gritted her teeth and appeared ferocious as if she would attack at any moment.
Ziyue! Ziyue!
One of these days, I will crush her under my feet and make her beg me for mercy!
Hanyan recently found out that Shichu was a member of Gricy.
This left her with surprise and gave her a sense of satisfaction.
Ziyue and Shichu were close. Hanyan believed Ziyue would be sad to find out that Shichu was a member of a criminal organization.
Furthermore, Hanyan was confident she could employ her charms to get the dejected Shichu on her side.
However, she failed spectacularly and was left with a severe blow to her confidence.
She tried everything she knew and even tried to seduce him, but Shichu never bothered to look at her.
Despite that, she could not do anything against him.
Shichu was a prominent member of the organization and highly skilled in the medical field. If Shichu had killed her in a fit of anger, the organization would probably not do anything to him.
Therefore, she had no choice but to avoid angering him for now.
…
Muchen left the bedroom and headed to the study.
He called Ke immediately.
"Where did you and Ziyue go this afternoon?"
Ke considered and realized what Muchen was trying to find out from her.
"We went shopping for a while in the afternoon." Ke would not tell him that Ziyue had left to meet with someone.
Ziyue behaved strangely after returning from seeing that person, but Ke did not dare to say anything. Since Muchen was intelligent, she would let him figure it out himself.
Muchen asked sternly, "You won't tell me?"
Ke replied calmly, "I'm only your subordinate. I know nothing about the relationship matters between you and your wife."
Muchen instantly understood that Ke held some prejudice against him.
After he hung up, a maid entered the study with a cup of tea.
Muchen looked up suddenly, thinking it was Ziyue, only to discover that it was the maid.
…
Ziyue finally came out of the room during dinner.
She sat opposite Muchen at the dining table. However, neither of them spoke.
The two ate quietly. As they headed upstairs after dinner, Muchen casually asked, "I heard you went shopping today. Did you buy anything?"
Ziyue walked a little ahead of him and replied nonchalantly, "There was nothing to my liking."
Muchen suddenly paused his step.
Ziyue did not notice and continued walking ahead.
这让秦慕沉的面色又沉了几分。
她今天很不对劲。
南珂很明显是帮着苏子悦的,她没说实话。
而他回来之后,看到的苏子悦,也是魂不守舍的样子。
之前,她还和他说了,要去查格里西的事。
"你今天遇到格里西的人了?"秦慕沉追上她,拉住了她的手臂。
格里西的人?
陆时初的确是格里西的人。
Muchen's expression darkened when he saw this.
There's something wrong with her.
Ke sided with Ziyue and did not tell me the truth.
She seemed distracted when I returned.
Furthermore, she even insisted on investigating Gricy.
"Did you meet with someone from Gricy today?" Muchen caught up with her and grabbed her arm.
Someone from Gricy?
Shichu was indeed a member of Gricy.
Ziyue looked up at him calmly. "Yes."
"Gricy has extensive connections and is deeply rooted. You won't be able to find anything even if you investigate." Muchen's expression turned solemn as he explained to her the seriousness of the matter.
Ziyue looked at him thoughtfully and suddenly smiled. She held Muchen's hand and replied, "If I had disobeyed you in the past, you would have been furious by now. You would not have taken time to explain to me like this."
Muchen stiffened imperceptibly.
"Are you saying I was unreasonable?"
"I guess so…"
Then, they talked about something else. No one mentioned Gricy again.
…
Ziyue had been in contact with Bessalyn since she became in charge of the project with Bessalyn's family's company.
She received Bessalyn's message shortly after arriving at the company.
"Guess which celebrity my company appointed as the ambassador for our new project!"
Ziyue was surprised by her gossipy tone. She guessed a few celebrities, but Bessalyn denied every one of them.
Ziyue ran out of patience. "I have to work. Let's continue with this another time."
Still, she received a message less than a minute later. "Please guess again! She is an actress who announced retirement from acting!"
Her tone seemed urgent, like she feared Ziyue would not play with her again.
Bessalyn was a little peculiar this way.
Ziyue glanced at the message and recalled the actresses who announced retirement from acting in the past two years.
She suddenly thought about Hanyan and messaged her name to Bessalyn.
Previously, Ziyue agreed to come to Country J with Qin Yuchuan on the condition that he suppressed the matter concerning Muchen. At the time, Yuchuan used Hanyan as a cover to end Muchen's matter.
Then, yesterday, Shichu emailed to warn her that Hanyan was a member of Gricy.
It can't be this coincidental…
Bessalyn did not immediately reply to Ziyue's message.
Ziyue held her phone for a while and gradually calmed down. I must be overthinking.
However, Bessalyn called soon after.
"Mrs. Qin, you're amazing. You got it right so soon," Bessalyn said excitedly.
Ziyue frowned at her claim. She had not guessed it straightaway but gave a few wrong answers until Bessalyn gave her an obvious hint. It was only then that Ziyue guessed the celebrity was Hanyan.
"Why did your company appoint her? Is she going to start acting again?"
"Yes, although she retired two years ago, people still remember her. It's good to have her as my company's brand ambassador."
Bessalyn sounded excited, so Ziyue asked, "Are you her fan?"
"Not really. I just think Hanyan is a wonderful lady." Although Bessalyn tried to make herself sound calm, she could not hide how thrilled she was about the matter.
Ziyue did not say anything but laughed and bid her goodbye.
As expected, people are easily influenced by appearance.
Is Hanyan a wonderful lady?
This so-called wonderful lady separated me from my son, tried to snatch my husband from me, and attempted to murder me…
Suddenly, she heard Muchen's voice.
"Ziyue."
