Chapter 76 : Fu Sichan looks average

“Is it just this small matter? Don’t worry, my brother has a driver. I can ask the driver to drive a bit slower.”

Mu Qianqian grabbed Ye Wanqing’s arm, “Let’s go together. I feel a bit pressured with your brother around.”

“Alright, we’ll do it your way.”

Ye Wanqing had a little scheme in mind.

She hoped to bring her brother and Qianqian closer together.

Her brother was getting older and still didn’t have a woman by his side. As his sister, she was quite anxious for him.

But it seemed like Qianqian wasn’t interested in her brother, which was a bit of a setback for her plan.

……

After parting ways with Ye Wanqing, Mu Qianqian returned to the hotel lobby.

Wang Yanru sashayed over, “So you and Miss Ye are good friends?”

“Yes.” Mu Qianqian’s response was neither warm nor cold.

“I didn’t expect that you, with your seemingly innocent demeanor, are actually quite scheming. You know how to use Miss Ye’s connections to get close to Young Master Ye.”

Mu Qianqian’s face tightened as she responded earnestly:

“I’m friends with Wanqing, not because of her status or her brother.”

Wang Yanru sneered:

“Pff, who believes that? It’s just the two of us here, so you don’t need to put on an act. I’m not as hypocritical as you. I can be straightforward and say whatever’s on my mind.”

“I don’t care whether you believe it or not.”

Wang Yanru was left stunned by Mu Qianqian’s words.

This girl usually seemed so soft and never retorted when mocked.

What’s going on today? Is the sun rising in the west?

Mu Qianqian was surprised by her own words.

She then felt that this feeling of standing up for herself was quite satisfying.

“Don’t think that by getting close to Miss Ye, you can latch onto Young Master Ye. I’m telling you, it’s not going to happen!”

Mu Qianqian had no interest in Young Master Ye to begin with.

But Wang Yanru’s attitude triggered her rebellious side.

So Mu Qianqian deliberately said, “Whether it happens or not isn’t for you to decide. I find Young Master Ye quite easygoing. At least he won’t throw me out like someone did last time.”

Wang Yanru’s face turned pale as she extended her long fingernail and pointed accusingly at Mu Qianqian.

Her face turned purple from holding back, but she couldn’t utter a single word.

Mu Qianqian felt an immediate sense of satisfaction.

The Mr.’s advice was really effective; she wasn’t as weak as she used to be. From now on, she would respond to whatever anyone threw at her.

If someone was sarcastic, she would respond in kind!

“Move aside, I need to get to work.”

Mu Qianqian opened the lounge door, only to find a tall man standing outside.

As she was wondering who it was, she heard Wang Yanru’s astonished exclamation from behind “Young Master Ye!”

So the person at the door was Ye Xuanlin.

Mu Qianqian suddenly worried about what she had just said. She began to feel uneasy, wondering if Young Master Ye had overheard her comments. She hoped he wouldn’t misunderstand and think she had any interest in him.

Ye Xuanlin’s gentle gaze settled on Mu Qianqian.

“Your phone was left in the garden. Wanqing had something to do, so she asked me to bring it to you.”

Mu Qianqian checked her pocket and, sure enough, her phone was missing.

“Thank you, Young Master Ye. And please thank Wanqing for me.”

“It’s nothing, really.”

Ye Xuanlin’s voice was smooth as he spoke and then turned to leave.

Mu Qianqian put her phone back in her pocket and exited the lounge.

Wang Yanru was left standing there with a look of envy and resentment.

How dare she!

How could Mu Qianqian, this scheming green tea b*tch, be compared to her?

If she had known that Young Master Ye had a sister, she should have acted first and made a good relationship with Miss Ye.

If she had been good friends with Miss Ye, then it would have been her receiving Young Master Ye’s gentle treatment, not Mu Qianqian!

Wang Yanru stamped her foot in frustration, wishing she could go back in time to a month ago.

……

That day, Fu Sichan happened to be free and came to pick Mu Qianqian up from work.

As soon as she got into the car, she excitedly shared some gossip with him “Mr. have you heard about the richest person in our Bei City on the news?”

The driver and Assistant Wang, sitting in the front, both perked up their ears.

Fu Sichan raised an eyebrow with interest but replied coolly, “I haven’t heard of him.”

“I’m telling you, Wanqing went to a dinner party yesterday and saw the richest person in Bei City!”

Mu Qianqian eagerly awaited Fu Sichan’s astonished reaction.

But after waiting for a while, he remained impassive, his voice indifferent and calm.

“Oh.”

“Are you not curious? I heard that the richest person in Bei City is very low-key and never participates in interviews. Wanqing also told me he’s incredibly handsome, even more so than male celebrities.”

Seeing Mu Qianqian’s face filled with excitement, Fu Sichan felt a strange discomfort in his heart.

His expression darkened as he coldly asked, “It seems like you’re quite interested in him?”

“Not really, just a bit curious.”

As a seasoned admirer of good looks, Mu Qianqian’s curiosity about this man reached its peak.

It wasn’t about the richest person per se; she just wanted to see what someone more handsome than male celebrities actually looked like.

Fu Sichan’s gaze flickered uncertainly. After a moment of contemplation, he replied flatly “I’ve met him, he looks average.”

Hearing this, the driver and Assistant Wang in the front seat nearly lost their composure.

Average… Fu Sichan’s definition of average.

Had their boss never looked in a mirror?

“But you said you hadn’t heard of him just now.”

Fu Sichan’s expression remained unchanged, and he replied nonchalantly, “I forgot earlier.”

Mu Qianqian let out a disappointed “oh.”

So it turns out Wanqing was exaggerating. She had described the person like a god, there’s no way there could be such a perfect man in the world.

“Are you disappointed?”

Fu Sichan felt even more uneasy at her words.

“Not really. Whether he’s handsome or not doesn’t matter to me, so why would I be disappointed?”

As Mu Qianqian said this, she slowly realized, Mr. seemed to be jealous?

Realizing this, she couldn’t contain the smile spreading across her face and her eyes sparkled like stars.

She quickly hugged Fu Sichan’s arm and repeatedly assured him, “I have no interest in that richest person at all. I just wanted to share this gossip with you. After all, if he’s a billionaire, he’s probably not very good-looking, and he’s likely in his forties or fifties by now. He could almost be my dad, so how could I possibly be interested in him?”

The car fell into a profound silence.

Assistant Wang, braving the risk, glanced at the boss’s expression in the rearview mirror.

Fu Sichan’s face was truly a sight to behold.

He was neither happy nor unhappy.

What a mess he had made of his own situation.

“Mr. why aren’t you speaking?”

Mu Qianqian innocently shook his arm.

She didn’t realize that her so-called “comforting” words had not only failed to soothe him but had instead driven a wedge deeper into his heart.
