After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 108: Maybe I'll Like It

"You're cute, and everything you say is right. It's me who's annoying." Amo knew she was in a bad mood and didn't want to argue with her.

At this moment, the waiter brought over two bottles of red wine and a new wine glass, and he poured himself a glass first.

He held up the bottle and asked Mousse, "Do you want more?"

“…Drink,” she said.

Drown your sorrows in alcohol.

He smiled and knew she wanted to drink.

Mousse Sweet started drinking by herself again, but she stopped crying.

Amo rattled off a bunch of jokes to her, but she seemed to have shut her ears and didn't react at all.

It wasn't until he told her about Hua Meimei leading a team-building activity with her employees at Apollo, getting drunk and entering the wrong men's restroom, and beating up the boy who was harassing her that Mu Sitian finally looked up at him.

"And then?" Mousse Tian was surprised by Hua Meimei's amazing skills and admired her even more.

"Then your brother Jiuyu arrived and told me to shut down He Dalang's restaurant within three days."

"So, the Baolang Hotel closed down because of this?" Mu Sitian was shocked.

The Baolang Hotel has not yet reopened.

It's estimated that it will never be able to reopen. After the food safety issues were exposed, no one will dare to eat there anymore.

Some of the shops in the Baolang Hotel have been sublet.

"Did Brother Jiuyu care about Sister Meimei that much back then?" Her curiosity was piqued.

Logically speaking, Luo Jiuyu should still be in love with Mu Siran at that time. Why would she care so much about Hua Meimei?

After drinking at his friend's table, he continued drinking at her table. Amo's alcohol levels were kicking in, and he started talking excitedly.

"Of course he cares. After all, she's nominally his wife, and she represents his image. He Dalang stepped on his landmine; how could he not be taught a lesson?"

"Oh, do you know why Brother Jiuyu suddenly gave up on my sister Mu Siran?"

Amo said, "You can ask your sister why she rejected Luo Jiuyu's confession on New Year's Day."

"..."

"Luo Jiuyu had a crush on your sister for so many years, and he finally mustered up the courage to confess, only to be met with her 'it's impossible,' which was a huge blow to his confidence. Any man would have been heartbroken in that situation."

"Besides, Jiu Yu is already married, and Hua Meimei is beautiful and capable. What could he possibly complain about? I think he feels more gratitude towards Mu Siran than love!"

Mu Sitian gave an "oh," and suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction and vindication. Mu Siran must be extremely regretful for rejecting Luo Jiuyu!

Let Mu Siran suffer!

She hurt Lorne and couldn't get Jiuyu. She also gained a reputation as a "mistress" and "two-timing."

“She deserves it,” she said, biting her lip.

Amo was confused. "What?"

"It's nothing," she returned to the previous topic, "I don't understand men's minds."

“I know Jiuyu. He’s the type of person who doesn’t give up easily. If he truly loves a woman, he’ll definitely do everything in his power to win her over. He was rejected by Mu Siran once, and no matter how heartbroken he is, he won’t give up.”

"So, there's only one reason why he didn't continue to bother Mu Siran—" Amo burped and paused.

Mu Sitian looked at him; his cheeks were flushed from drinking, but he was beaming with excitement when talking about the gossip between Luo Jiuyu and Hua Meimei.

"He just likes Mu Siran, but he's not deeply in love with her."

Mousse Sweet agreed with this statement.

Because I've seen Luo Jiuyu come to her studio looking for Hua Meimei.

The way he looked at Hua Meimei was filled with deep love and possessiveness, completely different from the admiration he showed when he looked at Mu Siran.

"Mr. Mo, would a man your age like a woman much younger than himself? Don't you think she's too young and immature?"

She had seen Amo's birthday in the news reports; he was the same age as Lorne, 28 years old.

Before Lorne left, Amo noticed her eating with him, looking reserved and obedient. But as soon as Lorne left, she appeared heartbroken and dejected, tears streaming down her face.

So when she asked this question, Amo already guessed what she meant.

“Everyone is different. If you ask me what I think…” Amo looked at her expectant face with a smile, “I didn’t before, but after today, I might start to like it.”

She was startled by his sudden tender gaze and said angrily, "You're just being indecent!"

"What did I do wrong again?" He was speechless; this little girl always slandered him.

"I wasn't asking you personally, what nonsense are you talking about? I was asking about the high probability events for this group."

He sat up straight and sighed, "Actually, you might as well just ask Lorne if he likes you."

"you……"

He actually knew everything. Her thoughts had been seen through; she was too ashamed to stand there, so she grabbed her bag and jumped up from her chair.

"Brother Lorne has already paid for the meal. You pay for your own drinks." After saying that, she ran out of the restaurant as if she were fleeing.

The little girl is not only proud, but also easily embarrassed. Amo watched her run away with great interest, a smile playing at the corners of his eyes.

He wasn't drunk.

Years of socializing have given him the ability to drink a lot without getting drunk.

I was just pretending to be slightly drunk to lower her guard and chat with her.

Mousse Sweet had nowhere to go, so she ended up going to the Donut Studio in the Xinzhi Building.

She sat in the office for a while, and the effects of the alcohol started to kick in. Feeling a little dizzy, she got up and poured herself a glass of warm water.

Thinking back to the last time she cooked hangover soup for Lorne here, it felt like a long time had passed.

My past acquaintance with Lorne feels like a lifetime ago.

Mousse wiped her wet eyes, turned around, and went out to take the elevator to Berry Flower's company.

Hua Meimei had just come out of a meeting when she saw Mousse standing at the door of her office.

Her eyes were red.

It looked like he had been crying.

Hua Meimei quickly stepped forward, took Mu Sitian's hand, and asked her with concern, "Little Sweetie, what's wrong?"

"Sister Meimei..." Mu Sitian couldn't hold back any longer and hugged Hua Meimei, crying.

Hua Meimei's heart tightened. Mu Sitian must have encountered some insurmountable obstacle, otherwise she wouldn't have come to her to cry.

She pulled Mu Sitian into the office and sat her down, holding Mu Sitian's hand the whole time.

"What happened? Tell me, I'll help you." She gently stroked Mu Sitian's back and asked tenderly.

"Sister Meimei, you're so kind." Mu Sitian looked at her with teary eyes, feeling guilty as she recalled what she had done to her in the past.

Mousse grabbed the tissues she was offered and wiped away her tears and snot.

Mu Sitian told Hua Meimei about her crush on Luo En, and also told her about how she had tried to break up Luo Jiuyu and Luo Jiuyu so that Luo Jiuyu could be with Mu Siran.

And he begged for her forgiveness.

She recalled how Mu Sitian had used the wrong gift Luo Jiuyu had given her to sow discord between her and Luo Jiuyu, and how she had proactively retweeted a trending topic for Mu Siran on the night Luo Jiuyu picked her up from the airport. Now the story finally connected.

"So it turns out you don't like Luo Jiuyu, but Luo En." Hua Meimei wasn't angry at all; instead, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Mousse looked completely bewildered. "Aren't you angry with me?"

She laughed and said, "Compared to what others have done to me, what you did is nothing. What you did didn't cause me much harm; it just told me the truth."

Time has passed, and now she and Luo Jiuyu are deeply in love. Mu Sitian is crying her eyes out right now, and she doesn't have the heart to blame her anymore.

"Does Lorne know that you like him?"

"do not know."

She finally understood why Mu Sitian was so heartbroken—her unrequited love had ended in heartbreak.

"Silly boy, he and Mu Siran have already broken up. Now's your perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation!" Hua Meimei said, half teasing and half encouraging.

Ah, taking advantage of the situation.

That's not wrong, but it just sounds a bit strange. Mousse Sweet knew Berry's personality a bit, so she couldn't help but laugh through her tears.

"Sister Meimei, you're kidding me."

“I’m serious,” she said. “Luo En has loved Mu Siran for so many years, and he’s suffered much more from heartbreak than you have. If I were you, instead of secretly crying, I would cheer up and pursue him, let him know how you feel, and maybe you could take advantage of his vulnerability and have a better chance of success.”

"What if... I still can't win him over?"

"As long as you've tried your best, you can have a clear conscience." She patted Mu Sitian's shoulder and earnestly advised her.

Even if you fail, it's okay. At least you tried, and you'll have no regrets for the rest of your life. Always believe in yourself; you're the best!

Mousse frowned and thought for a moment, "Sister Meimei, have you ever experienced such a failure?"

"Yes, there are many." Hua Meimei nodded. In her past life, before each heart surgery, she was filled with boundless anticipation and mentally prepared for failure.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." A glimmer of hope ignited in Mu Sitian's heart.
