Translator: 549690339

The office of the vice-director of the Milky Way.

Yin Qin rose from his office chair and walked towards the floor-length window, lighting up a cigarette.

Everyone in the world thought Mu Cidian was a scumbag, probably only he understood Mu Cidian’s feelings.

What Mu Cidian did was precisely what he was about to do.

And the purpose of doing so, they both knew all too well.

He finished his cigarette and picked up the phone again.

Mu Cidian sat in his office, dealing with some matters at hand.

In this past week, the outside world had been buzzing with news, questioning him more and more, but he still went to work every day facing the strange looks from the company’s staff, still participated in every major and minor meeting held by the group, regardless of how people viewed him. Even Xin Zaozao couldn’t figure out what Mu Cidian was planning, what he was actually doing. Mu Cidian eyed the incoming call from Yin Qin, picking it up, “Yin Qin.”

Ever since they moved and stopped living together , they had hardly been in contact privately.

Ironically, because of his recent scandal, his relationship with Yin Qin had warmed up again.

Logically, at this stage, he should be the one everyone despises and avoids in fear of being implicated. Yet Yin Qin chose to take the initiative to find him at this time. Only someone as carefree as Yin Qin could do such a thing without any hesitation. Yin Qin said, “I plan to withdraw your news.”

Mu Cidian bluntly replied, “No need.”

He didn’t care.

“It’s not for you, it’s for myself,” Yin Qin said. “I’m planning to stir things up.”

Mu Cidian’s brows furrowed.

“Let me tell you this, I’m not really removing your news, I’m just going to make a more sensational news to overshadow yours. Aren’t you grateful, bro?” Yin Qin asked.

Mu Cidian responded, “Grateful.”

“Why are you so cold? Your words are so rigid. I even doubt if you really forced Xin Zaozao into a relationship? I once thought you broke off your engagement with Wu Qianyuan because of your sexual apathy and she was dissatisfied with you!” Yin Qin blurted out, all too seriously.

No matter how he looked at it, he didn’t believe that Mu Cidian was a passionate person in that respect!

Mu Cidian seemed to pause for a while.

Yin Qin thought he got it right, “Are you really impotent?!”

He wished he was impotent.

Mu Cidian said, “No, I’m filthy.”

He had been intimate with Xin Zaozao and with Wu Qianyuan.

He was filthy.

Yin Qin tutted twice, he said, “Anyway, I just wanted to tell you, carry on with your work.”

“Okay.”

Mu Cidian hung up the call.

And suddenly laid off work.

But it was true, he hadn’t thought about that matter for a long time.

Sometimes he felt he might never think about it again!

He came back to reality.

He picked up the cellphone by his side, dialing a number.

The other end picked up, “Chief Mu?”

“Director Yang, are you free tonight? I’d like to invite you for dinner.”

“Why suddenly think of me today? I’m busy today, really busy recently…”

“Director Yang, rest assured, even though I’m currently surrounded by negative news, your reputation won’t be affected because of me. I just wanted to discuss with you about the previous projects we cooperated on with the Xin family. If you have time we can talk about it, otherwise, other people may be chosen for the upcoming projects.”

“You must be joking Chief Mu, how could I not meet you just because of your news, I’m genuinely busy. Well, I’ll ask my secretary to cancel my arrangements for tonight, let’s meet and have a meal and drink. After all the years of friendship, where do you think I would go?” The other side hurriedly responded.

“See you tonight then.” hung up the call.

In fact, talking about work.

It was just to alert Xin Zaozao, to let her notice who he was contacting at this time, and he believed that considering Zaozao’s suspicions of him, she would make contact privately with anyone he had contacted. That way, he could transition all the resources he thought were useful over to Xin Zaozao•s hands.

There wasn’t much else he could do to help her.

This was all he could do.

7 0’clock in the evening.

Xin Zaozao was still working overtime in the office.

Due to the previous personnel redeployment and the transfer of many people to other positions, although Xin family was still operating normally, in the end, some people’s hearts were scattered, and efficiency was lowered. Xin Zaozao knew that it was time to recruit new people, and her loyal people needed to be gradually trained from these newcomers.

She was drafting a recruitment plan.

Actually, many things could be delegated to others, it was not that she didn’t trust them, it was just because she knew nothing about everything, so she wanted to do everything herself

The phone rang.

Xin Zaozao turned her head to look, answered it, “Uncle Yan.”

“Still not off work?”

“There are still some matters to be done.” Xin Zaozao said, “Does Mu Cidian have a dinner appointment tonight?”

“Mm-hmm.” Yan Quan spoke, “I have a meeting set with Jinghong Group’s Yang Jian.” “Good, I got it. First thing tomorrow morning, prepare Yang Jian’s basic profile for me.”

“Yes.”

Xin Zaozao hung up the call.

She couldn’t guess what Mu Cidian was plotting, and what kind of motive he had for secretly meeting an important partner of the group. He must be somewhat desperate, trying to establish a relationship on his own, and hoping to use external pressure on her.

But of course, she wouldn’t allow him to get what he desired.

She continued to immerse herself in her work until everything in her hands was handled.

By the time she looked up again, it was already 9 pm.

Xin Zaozao stretched, prepared to finalize the recruitment information with HR the next day.

She got up to leave, ready to call it a day with Nie Feng.

As they had just returned to the villa in the car, and were preparing to park, Xin Zaozao suddenly told Nie Feng to halt, “Stop.” Nie Feng pulled over.

Xin Zaozao got out of the car.

She turned to approach the large villa gates.

On the massive iron gates, someone had used red spray paint to write, “Wan Quan X Mu Cidian, drop dead sooner! Zaozao, I will always protect you!” Xin Zaozao’s throat tightened.

Could it be the irrational online fans who wrote this?!

She glanced around, even though she knew there would be no one there at that moment. But then, she saw Mu Cidian step out of his own car, walking towards her. He gazed at the words on the gate with an emotionless expression.

Xin Zaozao suddenly laughed coldly.

She breezed past Mu Cidian, amused by the thought that Mu Cidian and Wan Quan had managed to enrage the public.

During this time, Wan Quan hadn’t even been to the company out of embarrassment. She was probably avoiding criticism.

Wan Quan could never have imagined.

She had planned for the video scandal to completely ruin Xin Zaozao, leaving her unable to recover in the company. But it had instead made Xin Zaozao more successful, leaving Wan Quan and her son to suffer the consequences!

Even though she didn’t know why Mu Cidian had done it, it had turned out splendidly for Xin Zaozao.

If Wan Quan and Mu Cidian really ended up as enemies, that would be quite amusing.

She was genuinely interested in seeing Wan Quan opposed by the son she had raised herself. That ought to be quite a spectacle.

So, in that moment, Xin Zaozao’s departing footsteps suddenly halted.

She turned to look at Mu Cidian, watching him as he continued to stare motionlessly at the gate.

“Mu Cidian.” Xin Zaozao called out to him. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝓮𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Mu Cidian stirred slightly, but did not look at her.

“I suddenly feel like you’re doing all this because you like me.” Xin Zaozao said straightforwardly.

“Mu Cidian didn’t respond, showing no emotion.

She continued, “If you like me, let me know. Maybe we can reconcile.”

Mu Cidian’s fingers trembled slightly.

But in that moment, he remaining incredibly calm.

He said, “I don’t.”

The cold voice was very certain.

Xin Zaozao laughed.

She knew, of course.

Just when had Mu Cidian become so straightforward with her?

She wasn’t used to it.

She was prepared for his deception.

She left.

Mu Cidian watched her retreating figure, his fists tightly clenched, repressing his feelings.

He knew Xin Zaozao could never reconcile with him. Even if they were to interact more, it would only be for her to use him to take revenge on his mother, to use him to climb even higher. And he didn’t need to harm Xin Zaozao further.

Suppressing his feelings, he gradually returned to normalcy.

He walked into the villa. Headed to his room.

Xin Zaozao walked ahead.

Mu Cidian followed at a distance.

Suddenly a shrill scream echoed down the hallway.

Mu Cidian froze briefly before sprinting forward.

Xin Zaozao was taken aback.

In the dead of night, what the hell was Wan Quan screaming for, did they have a ghost?!
