Chapter 333: The Cowardly Sister Who Married in Place (17)
Su Group, Su Zhiyan's office.
The man was wearing a black shirt and trousers, his hair was neatly done, and he sat in a leather chair with a cold expression.
The gray sunset outside the window shone into the house through the window, and the faint afterglow enveloped the man, making his handsome face almost swallowed by the shadow.
Su Zhiyan held a document in his hand and flipped through the pages one by one, his knuckles gradually turning white from the exertion.
There was dead silence in the office.
A layer of cold sweat had already seeped out of the assistant's back.
He naturally knew the contents of the document, as these were the findings of his investigations during this period.
About Mu Zhou's past.
The low pressure almost surrounded him, and the assistant continued with gritted teeth:
"These are all learned from the mouths of the elderly who have worked in the Mu family for many years. They are highly credible."
If no one talks about the Mu family's affairs behind closed doors, it would be difficult to know the inside story.
Especially since the two sisters of the Mu family look so similar, it is extremely difficult for outsiders to tell some things apart.
He also found an old man who had taken care of Mrs. Mu, and only then did he understand something. Then he started from this aspect and finally got a general idea.
After a moment, Su Zhiyan's low and cold voice sounded:
"understood."
The assistant seemed to have been pardoned, bowed slightly and left quickly.
After the room returned to silence, Su Zhiyan looked at the photo, his fingertips trembling slightly.
In the photo, the timid little girl hiding behind the crowd has eyes full of desire and envy.
Her eyes were looking at another girl who looked just like her.
The girl was wearing a princess dress and a birthday hat, and was surrounded by people blowing out candles.
That was her sister Mu Zhen.
They are twins and have the same birthday, but their father only held a birthday party for Mu Zhen.
Because Mu Zhen has better relationships with people and knows many classmates, all of whom come from unusual families.
Her father was afraid that she would offend her classmates, so he didn't let her appear.
This was Mu Zhou’s past life.
During the time he spent with Mu Zhou, Su Zhiyan had already speculated about her past circumstances.
But when the truth was laid out before him, he still felt a dull pain in his heart.
The information confirmed that the person who drugged and appeared in the hotel that night was Mu Zhen, and he was not surprised at all.
He had guessed it long ago.
Mu Zhou would not do such a thing.
She was abandoned by her family and was handed over to the Su family almost to her death.
With complete disregard for the consequences she might suffer.
Su Zhiyan tightened his fingertips, leaving creases on the paper.
Just at this moment, Mu Zhou called.
After seeing her name, the coldness in Su Zhiyan's eyes disappeared and a hint of tenderness emerged.
He picked up the phone and heard Mu Zhou's soft and tender voice.
"Are you occupied?"
"Not busy," Su Zhiyan answered quickly. After a pause, he continued, "Do you need me for something?"
Mu Zhou hesitated, and finally tried to test it out:
"Are you still working overtime today?"
"I can leave it out."
This answer made Mu Zhou's ears inexplicably hot and his heart tremble.
The deep and magnetic voice and the obviously seductive tone made her feel the seductiveness in Su Zhiyan's words even through the phone.
She suppressed the smile on her lips:
"Then, can you accompany me home? Dad said we haven't had dinner yet..."
Su Zhiyan didn't let Mu Zhou find more reasons and excuses. He readily agreed:
"Okay, I'll pick you up in an hour and a half."
Mu Zhou was somewhat surprised at how readily he agreed. Fearing that he might have misunderstood, he cautiously reminded him:
"I'm going back to the Mu family. My father and sister will be there."
"I know."
Hearing his words, Mu Zhou was obviously relieved:
"That's good. Otherwise, I'd be a little scared going back alone..." She seemed to suddenly realize that she seemed to have said something wrong. How could she be scared going back to her own home? She hurriedly prepared to hang up the phone, "Then I'll wait for you at home. Bye."
Then there was a busy tone on the other end of the phone.
Su Zhiyan rubbed the phone with his fingertips, and a cold light flashed in his eyes when he thought of the fear of the Mu family in Mu Zhou's words just now.
*
In the evening, Mu Zhen looked outside expectantly.
When she saw a strange yet familiar car appear, her eyes lit up.
She had seen the car.
Mu Zhou and Su Zhiyan left in this car last time.
Mu Zhen hurried back to his room, looked at himself in the mirror again, put some lip gloss on his lips, and turned them with satisfaction.
Her outfit today is very different from her usual style.
It is no longer so ostentatious, but has a more pitiful taste, like a delicate little white flower, fragile and fragile.
From this perspective, there is almost no difference between him and Mu Zhou.
Although imitating Mu Zhou made her feel a little awkward and unwilling, she felt willing when she thought of Su Zhiyan.
Su Zhiyan still favored Mu Zhou even after knowing that he was being plotted. He must have liked her weak, timid and attractive appearance.
If Mu Zhou can do it, then naturally she can too.
They have the same face, and she even has an advantage over Mu Zhou.
After all, in Su Zhiyan's eyes, she had never harmed him.
Thinking of this, she gained a little more confidence.
As soon as Mu Zhou and Su Zhiyan got out of the car, Mu Zengguo immediately came forward to greet them flatteringly:
"Come in, it's cold outside."
The smile on his face was something Mu Zhou had never seen in the past twenty years.
After entering the house, Mu Zhen also came out of the room.
She walked gracefully, her cheeks flushed, and she approached the two of them like a shy little girl:
"You are here."
As she spoke, she quietly smoothed the hair behind her ear and looked secretly at Su Zhiyan, looking forward to the surprise in his eyes.
Unfortunately, Su Zhiyan didn't even look at her, and didn't see her at all.
This made Mu Zhen a little embarrassed, but he still smiled and said:
"Hurry up and sit down, Auntie has just finished cooking."
Mu Zhou looked at her, her outfit obviously different from usual, with a knowing smile on his face.
She didn't expose it and just went to the restaurant with Su Zhiyan.
At the dinner table, everyone ate quietly.
Mu Zengguo wanted to say something, but because Su Zhiyan's aura was too strong and his dining posture was too dignified, he didn't dare to make a sound.
Mu Zengguo gave the main seat to Su Zhiyan and sat on the side, his shrewd eyes falling on Su Zhiyan and Mu Zhou from time to time.
He was secretly excited when he saw the indescribable intimacy between the two.
His two daughters really make him proud. It seems that his Mu family will be prosperous in the future!
Mu Zengguo has already begun to imagine the future.
Mu Zhen, who was sitting on the outermost side, didn't care about his father's special care for Mu Zhou at this time. His mind was full of thoughts about how to keep these two people for the night.
In this way, she will have the opportunity to interact more with Su Zhiyan.
Everyone at the table had their own thoughts and finished their dinner.
*
After dinner, Mu Zengguo couldn't help but bring up the bidding again.
"Mr. Su, regarding the West Coast bidding, I know it would be difficult for you to handle it if you rashly give it to us. Therefore, I will definitely make sure that the accounts are perfect and there will be no room for error."
He assured excitedly, his words sounding as if he had already got it.
From the moment he brought up the topic, Mu Zhou became nervous, pulling at the pearl belt pendant around his waist guiltily, almost tearing it off.
I didn't even dare to look at Su Zhiyan's eyes.
