Chapter 50

For most people in the company, they were unaware that a fierce confrontation had just taken place among the upper management. At least, most people wouldn't know until they returned to work next week.

Muye returned home when the time came. Although his mother was fine, he had been doing the grocery shopping and cooking these past few days, so he decided to let her rest for a couple of days.

After dinner, Muye picked up his phone to chat with Wenwen. He originally wanted to invite Wenwen out the next day, but he found out that Wenwen had classes on Saturday and seemed to have something to do on Sunday. With that, Muye could only give up.

In the past, without a job, he would sleep during the day and hang out in bars at night, and he didn't feel bored. Now, with a new lease on life, he found it a bit boring to rest without his girlfriend's company.

Muye thought about accompanying his mother for a walk, but she had to prepare for her classes next week and also needed to visit some of her tutoring students, so she had no time.

On Saturday, Muye lay in bed for half the day, feeling as if his whole body was about to mold. By the afternoon, he couldn't stay at home any longer, so he decided to investigate the guy surnamed Fang and find out what dirty deeds he was up to.

Finding Zhang Huangyan, Muye asked for Fang Yongcheng's specific address and then went over. When he arrived, he found that Fang's house was continuously visited by people, clearly parents of students coming to give gifts. At times, there were so many people that they even formed a queue. This made Muye label Fang Yongcheng as "corrupt" without much else to say.

Knowing that waiting like this would go on indefinitely, Muye left. However, as soon as he reached the street, his phone rang.

Muye saw it was an unknown number, but he decided to answer it anyway.

"Brother Muye!" A voice that could make one's skin crawl came from the other end.

Muye, caught between laughter and tears, said, "Qingqing, can you talk to me normally? Don't you think it's too sappy? And how did you get my number so quickly?"

"Hehe, that's easy. I just borrowed Ms. Zhou's phone and found your number. I didn't expect you and Ms. Zhou to be such a lovey-dovey couple, always saying sweet things to each other. So don't mock me."

Hearing this, Muye was again caught between laughter and tears. This girl was mischievous, and if she wanted to snoop through Wenwen's phone, it would be easy for her.

"Qingqing, it's not good to pry into others' privacy, especially your teacher's," Muye said, knowing from his chats with Wenwen that this girl was in her class.

"Brother Muye, you can't blame me. If I hadn't tricked Ms. Zhou into giving me her phone today, you would have been wearing a green hat!" Chu Qingqing's不服气 (unwilling to give in) voice came from the phone.

Muye knew Chu Qingqing liked to act recklessly, but he felt this little girl wasn't the type to lie. Since the matter involved Zhou Wenwen, Muye's heart tightened. "Qingqing, don't talk nonsense. Wenwen isn't that kind of person!"

Hearing Muye's stern voice, Chu Qingqing retorted, "Muye, I'm trying to help you, and you don't appreciate it. Why are you being so mean to me? Wearing a green hat isn't my problem. If you don't believe me, try inviting Ms. Zhou out tomorrow and see if she agrees!"

Hearing Chu Qingqing's confident words, Muye's heart sank. He had already invited Wenwen yesterday, and she had indeed said she had something to do, but she hadn't specified what.

"What do you know?" Muye asked anxiously.

"Hehe, Brother Muye, you're worried too. If you want to know the details, promise me that you'll accompany me tonight," Chu Qingqing said smugly.

"Alright!" Muye agreed without hesitation.

"Good, then come to the school right away. I just got out of class!" Chu Qingqing said.

"Alright!" Muye hung up and immediately hailed a taxi.

Less than half an hour later, he saw three girls leisurely eating ice cream at a small shop near the school gate.

"Brother Muye, you came so quickly!" Chu Qingqing greeted him as soon as she saw him.

Muye walked up to the three girls. Today, they were all wearing school uniforms, but their faces were not heavily made up. The two girls named Xiaoli and An'an, though not as beautiful as Chu Qingqing with her enviable legs, were still two rare and charming young beauties, especially An'an, who was particularly delicate.

"Brother Muye, thank you for last time!" An'an immediately thanked Muye as he sat down.

Last time at Xiangweilou, if he hadn't intervened, not only Chu Qingqing but also these two girls would have been in danger. This gratitude was genuine.

Muye noticed that Xiaoli and Chu Qingqing were wearing plaid shirts and red and black plaid skirts, while An'an was wearing a white shirt and a black pleated skirt, clearly indicating they were in different grades.

However, Muye didn't have time to dwell on this. He simply said, "No need to thank me," and then asked Chu Qingqing, "Qingqing, what's going on?"

Chu Qingqing, however, continued to eat her ice cream leisurely, seeming more smug the more anxious Muye became.

Seeing that she wouldn't speak, Muye's expression changed. "Chu Qingqing, if you don't tell me, I'll tell your mother about what happened last time. Mayor Zhang will surely manage you!"

Hearing Muye's threat, Chu Qingqing was unperturbed. "So what if you know who my mother is? Can you even see her? And even if you do, will she believe you? I'm a good girl in Sister Xuan's eyes. Don't believe me? Try it!"

Seeing Chu Qingqing's smug attitude, Muye smiled. He wanted to tell her that he not only knew Zixuan but had also become very close to her, but he couldn't let anyone else know about his relationship with Zixuan, let alone this little girl.

Seeing Muye's frustration, Chu Qingqing felt even more smug. Thinking about how she could finally get back at him for all the times he had made her suffer, she felt particularly satisfied.

"Hehe, you're out of options, aren't you? But I won't let you wear a green hat. And it's not that serious. If you accompany us to a place and do something tonight, I'll tell you what's going on," Chu Qingqing said smugly.

"Alright, but I won't go to any shady places or do anything against my conscience," Muye said, relieved that Chu Qingqing said it wasn't serious. He believed Wenwen wasn't the kind of girl to be careless, so he felt reassured.

"Hmph, do we look like we're going to a shady place today?" Chu Qingqing said, displeased.

Muye smiled bitterly. "You can change your appearance in a few minutes. Don't take me for a fool!"

"Hehe, Brother Muye, you really know me. But don't worry, we're not going to any shady places today, and there's a big surprise!" Chu Qingqing suddenly smiled strangely.
