"Are you done—"
Her words were interrupted by his phone's frantic ringing.
Mu Yazhe raised his brow in dissatisfaction and held up his phone.
Yun Shishi peeked over out of curiosity. 'Mu Wanrou' appeared on the lit screen, and it pierced her eyes like needles.
Unknowingly, her chest became unbearably stuffy.
Mu Wanrou… His fiancee?
She instantly felt vexed but returned to her senses just as quickly.
Do they have a bad relationship with each other?
She had never seen a couple in love label their partner's contact with their full name before.
They seemed distant with their lack of pet names for each other. Those cold words seemed to not carry any love at all.
Thinking better of it, she raised a brow.
Being simple and clear-cut is indeed this man's style!
Perhaps, they have a good relationship, despite the lack of a pet name!
What was she worrying about?
Reflecting on this, she gradually felt ashamed of herself.
She felt like an intruder.
This discomfort made her want to clear her name, but she did not know where to start at all.
Was she not right?
At present, how was she different from those women interfering with other people's marriage?!
Mu Wanrou…
Was she that woman she had bumped into the last time?
Her orbs instantly darkened.
She thought that something was strange.
For some reason, that woman was giving her a sense of dejà vu.
The woman looked so familiar; it was as if she had left an indelible imprint in her sealed-up memories.
Somehow, a piece of memory was currently about to break out in her mind.
She was having a splitting headache…
He rejected the call. From the corner of his eye, he noticed her to be in deep thought, and his beautiful eyes gradually dulled.
…
The Rose Manor.
In front of a bright French window, Mu Wanrou, who was in her pajamas, squeezed the phone she was holding, her face contorted with extreme rage.
He's not answering!
He had rejected her three consecutive calls.
What in the world is happening here?!
She returned to the dining table where a thick pile of newspapers was placed. News of the affair between Tang Yu and a Huanyu higher-up made the headlines. The article was accompanied by text and photographs, and it was truly an eyesore.
She casually held up one stack of newspaper and skimmed through its content. Gazing over at that glaring headline, her knuckles turned stiff.
Aaron, you useless trash!
He did not handle the situation competently; he even messed up the job she had assigned to him! She trusted him so much, but he could not even perform this well?
She thought that she could wait at ease for Yun Shishi's scandal to break out, and then she would be damned to perdition.
By then, let alone Lin Fengtian, Huanyu Entertainment would be unable to save her as well.
The biggest scandal for female stars was to be exposed for following the unspoken rules; she would definitely be blacklisted. However, who knew that the next day, the one exposed would actually be Tang Yu?!
This was strange.
Why was Tang Yu exposed instead?
Aaron guaranteed to her time after time that everything was properly carried out; his subordinate would personally escort Yun Shishi into the vehicle. How did things turn out to be like this in the end?
Could that woman have quickly conjured up a counterplan? This was simply inconceivable.
She was peeved and thought that it was improbable. She was having a bad feeling about this; there was clearly something fishy going on, but she could not quite put a finger on it.
The maids served the breakfast plates on the table in rapid succession. At the same time, Mu Sheng was slowly making his way down the stairs with a housekeeper's support.
She crumpled up the newspapers and immediately threw them into the trash bin. She took his hand from the housekeeper's and carefully supported him. Welcoming him with a smile, she greeted endearingly, "Good morning, grandpa!"
"Mm!"
