As her voice faded, she had already stepped in front of Mu Junze.
This made Mu Junze frown even deeper.
With a slight redness welling up in her eyes as she looked at Mu Junze, Linda's tone was tinged with a sob. "I never thought I'd see you again. It feels like ages ago."
"Get out," Mu Junze said coldly.
Linda greedily sized him up from side to side. "You seem thinner. Did Meng Nianchu make you do everything at home while she just sits around? She can't even take good care of her own husband. I wonder what else she can do."
Mu Junze's anger had clearly reached its peak.
Linda continued to push her luck. "Meng Nianchu is a mother now, but she still acts so irresponsibly. Taking care of a child is so tiring. Can't she do it herself? She must make you do everything. Junze, you work so hard, and now you have to take care of the child too."
"If I were your wife, I'd never do this!"
As she shamelessly said this, her cheeks gradually turned crimson.
Mu Junze stared at her coldly, about to spit out the word "Get lost!"
Suddenly, Linda set her eyes on the child in his arms. She unexpectedly touched the child's cheek and said in a motherly tone, "This child is so cute. He looks exactly like you, Junze. The eyes and eyebrows are so alike!"
"It's a pity about the mouth. It looks just like Meng Nianchu's. Not very nice."
As if understanding that Linda was speaking ill of his mother, the child burst into tears as soon as she finished speaking.
Linda quickly added, "See? Even Meng Nianchu's own son dislikes inheriting her flaws. He's crying so sadly."
"Don't cry, baby. You don't look like your ugly mother at all. You look like your father. You're as handsome as him."
The child cried even louder.
Linda frowned impatiently. "Why is this child so cry - baby? He's just like Meng Nianchu."
"Say that again?" Mu Junze finally lost his patience. His whole body exuded a menacing aura as he spoke coldly.
Feeling Mu Junze's anger, Linda forced a laugh and quickly changed her words. "The child is still so young. As long as he grows up with you, Junze, he will never pick up any of Meng Nianchu's flaws!"
Mu Junze's expression grew even colder.
Linda smiled. "If I could have a husband like you, Junze, I'd do anything."
Mu Junze sneered. "It's completely hopeless."
The smile on her face froze. Linda was about to say something else when Mu Junze issued the expulsion order. "Get out!"
"But I haven't finished what I want to say to you, Junze. It's so hard for me to see you. How can I leave like this? I want to stay with you a little longer and talk to you properly. So many things happened to me in the US. I want to tell you..."
"Get out!"
A fierce look flashed in Mu Junze's deep eyes.
Linda was startled by his appearance.
Suddenly, the director's voice came from outside. "Miss Meng, you're finally back. Mr. Mu has been waiting for you in the lounge for a long time!"
"Okay, I know!"
Footsteps sounded outside the lounge.
Mu Junze stood up and was about to go out to greet her.
A look of determination flashed in Linda's eyes. Suddenly, she swayed and fell into Mu Junze's arms. Then, she wrapped her small hand around Mu Junze's arm. "I don't feel well."
As soon as Meng Nianchu pushed open the door, she saw Linda snuggling in Mu Junze's arms. Their actions were very intimate.
Bailing, who was following closely behind, exploded instantly. She strode forward, grabbed Linda by the back of her collar, and forcibly pulled her away.
"You're so shameless!"
"What did I do? I didn't do anything. Why are you scolding me!" Linda retorted defiantly, rolling her eyes as if Bailing had wronged her.
Seeing her like this, Bailing got angry. "I think even Linda's sponsor, no matter how generous he is, won't tolerate his mistress flirting with another man's husband and wearing a cuckold on his head."
"You're talking nonsense..."
"It's common knowledge. Do you think the director obeys you because of your outstanding professional ability and the movie can't be made without you? Miss Linda, you're really flattering yourself."
Bailing, who had just met Ju Zisheng, was in a good mood. But as soon as she saw Linda in Mu Junze's arms, all her joy vanished. She stared at Linda fiercely, her words sharp and harsh, hitting Linda right in the heart.
Linda's expression changed several times. She glanced at Meng Nianchu, who was standing beside Mu Junze. "Miss Meng, you can't be so unconfident that you think you can't control your husband, right?"
Hearing her provocation, Mu Junze was about to speak up to defend his wife.
But Meng Nianchu replied before him. "I'm confident in my husband. I know where his heart lies. I know he's not interested in other women, especially those random cats and dogs. Of course, I'm not worried."
She deliberately emphasized the words "cats and dogs".
Linda gritted her teeth tightly.
Bailing sneered. "The couple is having an intimate chat. What are you still doing here, Miss Linda? Do you want to be a 360 - watt light bulb and shine brightly beside them?"
As soon as Meng Nianchu stood beside Mu Junze, the child, who had been crying loudly, suddenly stopped crying and giggled. Linda's eyes were filled with unwillingness. She snorted and left the lounge angrily.
Meng Nianchu took the child from Mu Junze's arms.
Mu Junze said, "She came on her own."
Knowing that he was explaining what had just happened, Meng Nianchu looked up at him and smiled. "I knew as soon as I came in and saw your gloomy face."
As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw that Mu Junze was extremely unhappy. Having been with Mu Junze for so long, she naturally knew his character. Of course, she trusted him.
Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Bailing let out a sigh of relief. She quietly left the lounge and closed the door for them. Then, she quickly rushed to Linda's dressing room.
Sure enough, she was there.
"What are you doing here!"
Seeing Bailing rushing in angrily, Linda subconsciously stood up from the chair.
Bailing sneered and suddenly slapped the table.
The loud noise made Linda tremble.
"Be self - aware. Know what you should do and who you shouldn't touch. Keep it clear in your mind! I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes. I hate those disgusting women who bully my friends the most!"
"If you dare to have any more thoughts about Mu Junze, I won't let you off!"
