Mu Junze shot her a cold, sidelong glance. At the same time, he grasped Meng Nianchu's small hand and pulled her to his side, putting his arm around her waist.
This action left Meng Rong stunned.
"Self - indulgent." These four words were extremely cold and sarcastic.
Even someone as thick - skinned as Meng Rong had a stiff smile on her face. Seeing Mu Junze pulling Meng Nianchu about to leave, Meng Rong was unwilling and quickly blocked their way. Filled with indignation, she began to enumerate Meng Nianchu's "crimes".
"Junze, Meng Nianchu has already slept with other men. She has brought you so much trouble. Are you still going to stay with such a woman and not get a divorce?"
"You've only been away from home for a few days, and she's already hooking up with other men. If you were away for a longer time, wouldn't the whole Shangting be filled with her illegitimate children! You might as well divorce her earlier and stay away from her!"
As if Meng Nianchu wasn't even there, Meng Rong kept chattering on and on.
Mu Junze looked at her coldly. "What does it matter to you?"
After uttering these cold words, he grabbed Meng Nianchu's small hand and headed downstairs.
Meng Rong watched their backs, her chest filled with raging anger. She gritted her back teeth tightly, feeling both unwilling and furious!
This matter had already spread like wildfire. How could Mu Junze not know what was going on? How could he still be so good to Meng Nianchu and even stand up for her!
This was impossible!
At this moment, Mu Junze, whose strange reaction puzzled her, was dragging Meng Nianchu into the business car.
As soon as they got in, the cool air in the car blew over. Meng Nianchu saw a stack of documents on the seat. Looking up at Mu Junze, she closed the car door. "Why did you happen to come here?"
"I know, sister - in - law!" Cui Xi, who was in charge of driving, said gossipingly, "The president and I were originally going to visit the products of a business partner. When we passed by here, we accidentally heard someone say that they saw you upstairs and that you seemed to be surrounded by a group of black fans. As soon as the president heard that, he immediately went up!"
"Sister - in - law, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Meng Nianchu stole a glance at Mu Junze, whose expression was a bit unnatural, and pursed her lips to hold back a smile.
It seemed that her guess was right. Mu Junze still believed in her!
Cui Xi pursed her lips, feeling quite indignant on Meng Nianchu's behalf. "Only those fools would believe the photos taken at the hotel entrance. If someone is having an affair, would they leave the door open for others to take pictures? That would be stupid."
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the narrow space dropped.
Cui Xi quickly changed her words. "I'm just making an example. I don't really mean sister - in - law. The real culprit who took these photos is the most hateful. How could they do such an immoral thing? Aren't they afraid of retribution?"
She was also forced to temporarily give up the comfortable air - conditioned office in the hot summer and endure the sun outside while investigating the materials related to this incident.
It was so hateful!
After her words, Mu Junze's anger gradually subsided.
Meng Nianchu seemed to be deep in thought. After a moment of silence, she said, "The surveillance camera in the hotel..."
Before she could finish, Cui Xi understood what she meant and took over the conversation. "I went to the hotel to check the surveillance this morning. For a while, the camera suddenly malfunctioned and completely stopped working."
"After that, when I adjusted the time backward, the room you were in was being cleaned by the cleaning aunt. From the time you entered the hotel to the time you left, the camera was always blacked out."
Acting so cautiously, it didn't seem to be Meng Rong's style. Rubbing her hands together on her thighs, Meng Nianchu looked more solemn.
But if it wasn't Meng Rong, who else could it be...
"Don't worry, sister - in - law! Half an hour ago, the president has already issued a statement on the relevant platform that you two will jointly find out the real culprit. Even if there are some stupid people who can't tell right from wrong and scold you wantonly, the president will stand by your side!"
"Shut up!" Mu Junze, who had been silent all this time, shouted sharply.
Cui Xi reluctantly fell silent.
Meng Nianchu looked at Mu Junze sideways, her eyes full of tenderness. She held Mu Junze's big hand with her right hand and exerted a little force. "Since you have something to do, just drop me off at the crossroads ahead."
"It's not urgent." His words were extremely domineering.
Meng Nianchu looked at Cui Xi. "Stop the car first."
"Sister - in - law, we haven't reached Shangting yet..."
"Stop the car!"
Cui Xi had no choice but to stop the car.
Mu Junze looked straight at her.
Knowing that Mu Junze was worried because those black fans might rush up again, Meng Nianchu rubbed Mu Junze's head as if soothing an angry child. "Don't worry. You've already scared them away. How could they come back? Go and do your work first. Don't worry about me."
Such an intimate act in front of outsiders made Mu Junze's earlobes turn a little red. Seeing Cui Xi looking at them eagerly, his face immediately tightened. "Turn around!"
"I just want to experience the fun of marriage in advance."
Seeing this perfect couple not being affected by the chaos on Weibo and still caring about each other, Cui Xi, as an onlooker, was extremely happy.
Otherwise, she would have become Mu Junze's punching bag.
Pouting, she withdrew her gaze, but still pricked up her ears to listen to their conversation.
Mu Junze said, "Call me when you get back to Shangting."
"You should also pay more attention to rest. I'll cook your favorite dishes tonight. Come back early after you finish your work."
One after another, they spoke. Then Meng Nianchu opened the car door and got out.
Mu Junze looked at her deeply, then motioned for Cui Xi to drive.
The black official car gradually disappeared from sight. The smile on Meng Nianchu's face immediately faded. Then she hailed a taxi and reported the location of the Northeast Road Bar.
According to Mu Junze's personality, after such a thing happened, he would surely ask Cui Xi to find evidence first. But that day, she hadn't had the chance to tell Mu Junze that she had come to the Northeast Road Bar. If he hadn't come yet, what if there was evidence here?
Moreover...
She didn't mention the location of the Northeast Road Bar to Mu Junze because she was afraid that Mu Junze would know that she had been with Ying You'an on the day of the incident.
There had already been rumors about her and Ying You'an. She had no evidence to prove that there was nothing between them. If Mu Junze thought of the previous things and mistakenly thought that she had some relationship with Ying You'an, it would really be hard to explain.
Frowning and staring out of the window, before she knew it, the taxi had turned a couple of corners.
"Girl, we're here." The taxi driver said.
Meng Nianchu paid the fare and got out of the car. She looked around, pulling down the baseball cap on her head to avoid being recognized and causing unnecessary trouble.
Standing in a shady corner, she looked around. As expected, there was a surveillance camera in the northwest corner.
