"Good eyesight."
Mu Linfeng readily agreed, observing Mu Junze's reaction as he spoke. "We were indeed college classmates."
Meng Nianchu shot him a warning look.
Receiving her signal, Mu Linfeng hooked his lips into a smile. "But that was a long time ago."
"But when I looked at the photos in the yearbook, it seemed like you and Nianchu had a very close relationship. The way you looked at Nianchu in the photos didn't seem like that of an ordinary college classmate at all." Meng Rong was not willing to give up and insisted on getting the answer she wanted from the two of them.
Meng Nianchu leaned closer to Mu Junze and snorted with a smile. "When did you see my yearbook? And you looked at it so carefully. I remember my yearbook was always kept in a cabinet I rarely used. How did you find it, sister?"
Her consecutive rhetorical questions left Meng Rong speechless for a long time.
Mu Junze stared intently at Mu Linfeng. His cold words were laced with anger. "Who did Mr. Mu come to the film set to see?"
"A friend."
"Junze, look at the question you're asking. He's sitting with Nianchu, so of course he's here to see Nianchu. They say that the friendship between men and women in college can be deeper than that with a boyfriend."
Immediately, the air pressure around Mu Junze dropped. His expression was perfectly masked, and it was impossible to tell whether he was angry or not.
Meng Nianchu retorted, "Of course my husband is more important."
"I've seen who I wanted to see. I have something else to do. Mr. Mu, enjoy your conversation."
Finally unable to bear Meng Nianchu constantly siding with Mu Junze, he stood up, said coldly, and then took steps to leave.
Suddenly, he took two steps and then stopped. He turned back to look at Meng Rong and playfully winked at her. "I've always heard that Meng Nianchu has a beautiful elder sister. Now that I've seen you, you're truly extraordinary. Miss Meng, would you do me the honor of having dinner with me?"
"I don't..."
"Don't be so polite with me."
Mu Linfeng grabbed Meng Rong's wrist and pulled her away without giving her a chance to refuse. He was surprisingly strong, and Meng Rong couldn't break free. She looked back at Mu Junze three times with each step, hoping that he would say something for her.
But he didn't.
Meng Nianchu watched the corner where Meng Rong and Mu Linfeng disappeared. She roughly knew why the situation had developed differently from before.
After all, Meng Rong hadn't participated in this part of the filming of *Kite* before. Maybe in the same timeline in the past, Meng Rong and Mu Linfeng met somewhere else. That's how the things that happened a few days later occurred...
She was still speculating when she suddenly felt the air pressure around her drop sharply. The man beside her was extremely unhappy.
Meng Nianchu swallowed hard. She thought that this matter hadn't been resolved yet, and now she had to find a way to deal with this jealous man.
In an unremarkable corner outside the film set.
Meng Rong rubbed her red wrist and glared angrily at the man in front of her. Gone was the gentle attitude she had towards him before. Now her face was cold and full of impatience.
"What on earth do you want!"
"Falling in love with your sister's husband, Miss Meng, you're really bold."
Meng Rong felt her heart suddenly stop. Panic filled her eyes.
Mu Linfeng crossed his arms and said with interest, "I originally thought the news on the internet was unreliable. I thought it was just the reporters exaggerating and distorting the facts to gain attention. But seeing it with my own eyes today, I have to look at Miss Meng in a new light."
"What do you want to do!" Her words were filled with deep fear.
Mu Linfeng was very satisfied with her reaction.
"Don't worry. Even if I know about this, I won't do anything to you."
Meng Rong: "What on earth do you want to do by calling me out!"
Mu Linfeng leaned closer to her, bent down, and placed his right hand on Meng Rong's shoulder. They were face to face, and he said, "How about we cooperate?"
"You get what you want, and I get what I want. We each take what we need and cooperate together."
After hearing this, Meng Rong suddenly understood.
She pushed his hand away and said knowingly, "So after all this talk, you just want me to help you pursue Meng Nianchu."
"It's mutually beneficial." He stood up straight, towering over Meng Rong. He looked down at her and said, "This is good for both of us. I already have a plan. I just need you to cooperate with me. Once this play is over, Mu Junze will be your gift."
Meng Rong became interested. "What's the plan?"
Mu Linfeng took a deep breath, leaned closer to Meng Rong's ear, and whispered into it.
...
On a silent night.
Suddenly, a scream came from Shangting.
Meng Nianchu pushed the man who was pouncing on her. "Mom is still at home!"
"I don't care."
Mu Junze, like a beast that had been suppressing its desires for a long time, tore Meng Nianchu's clothes.
Just then.
The door was pushed open, and Mother Mu's small head poked in from outside.
The few of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward for a moment.
Mother Mu coughed dryly and consciously closed the door.
Mu Junze stopped what he was doing because of Mother Mu's sudden visit. He lay on one side, covering his eyes with his arm.
"I have nothing to do with him." Meng Nianchu threw herself into his arms.
Mu Junze hugged her. "Okay."
"You hesitated on the way. Were you just about to ask me this?"
"No."
Meng Nianchu pouted. She didn't believe him at all. Leaning against Mu Junze's broad chest, she gradually felt at ease. Then those troublesome things crept into her mind.
When she was thinking, she liked to scribble with a pen. But now she had no pen or paper, so she had to draw on Mu Junze's chest with her fingertips, thinking about how to face what was to come.
According to her previous memory, two days later, Mu Junze would discuss a project with Zhang Zhen in a private room of a restaurant to better understand the company's concept for this project.
However, on that night, when Mu Junze went alone, he was suddenly photographed in intimate photos with Meng Rong. Compared with the recent scandal, those photos were the first negative news about the two of them.
Just like the recent scandal, it caused quite a stir on the internet.
As soon as the article about the brother - in - law having an affair with his sister - in - law came out, Zhang Zhen gave up the idea of cooperating with Mu Junze. That's how Mu Linfeng took advantage of the situation and got the cooperation right for Zhang Zhen's project.
When the fire was raging, Meng Rong told Meng Nianchu the truth about this matter. Only then did Meng Nianchu know that it had been a trap designed by Mu Linfeng and her.
Thinking of this, she already had a plan. She withdrew her hand, but was suddenly grabbed by Mu Junze. She looked at him blankly and found that Mu Junze was breathing heavily.
"Mom is downstairs. You should control yourself..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Mu Junze lost all his reason and domineeringly sealed her lips with his. His kiss was gentle yet fierce, as if he was punishing her for something.
Downstairs, Mother Mu was eating while looking up at the upstairs. She sighed lightly and took a sip of black rice porridge. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Father Mu: It seems I have to come back quickly. I can't delay my great event of having a grandchild.
