"What on earth did Fang Chu tell you?"
Although Xu Mu had a rough idea, he still asked.
Zhao Yingying lowered her head at this moment and didn't even dare to look at Xu Mu. She felt that what had happened this time was largely her fault.
Previously, she really hadn't thought there could be such a thing.
So, when Fang Chu sent a message saying that Xu Mu wanted to eat stir-fried rice with gravy on top, she was completely shocked.
After watching the video of Xu Mu beating someone, especially the look in Xu Mu's eyes in it, he really looked like a bad guy.
She began to suspect Xu Mu's real purpose.
Originally, Fang Chu said that Xu Mu's purpose of approaching her was to get her.
Zhao Yingying definitely didn't believe it.
Because before, when Xu Mu helped her mother pay the surgery fee, she had already given a hint.
But Xu Mu didn't have any such thoughts at all.
However, this time Fang Chu said that it was to get both of them.
Zhao Yingying began to be unsure. After thinking carefully, she really thought there was such a possibility.
Why did Xu Mu reject her back then?
Because he thought it would be boring with just one person. He wanted some kind of confrontation and wanted to take on two of them.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yingying forwarded the video Fang Chu sent to her to Li Yun.
She also sent screenshots of what Fang Chu had said to her.
It could be said that it was Zhao Yingying who passed the message in the middle and made Li Yun suspect Xu Mu.
"He... he said..."
Not only Zhao Yingying but also Li Yun couldn't bring herself to say it. "The dishes are going to burn. I'll go cook first."
She immediately ran into the kitchen. She really didn't have the face to talk about this.
"Auntie, cook less. I just had a meal."
Xu Mu reminded and then sat on the sofa.
"It's okay. If we can't finish it, we'll put it in the fridge and heat it up tomorrow."
Li Yun's voice came from the kitchen.
"Yingying, tell me. What on earth is going on?"
Xu Mu looked at Zhao Yingying beside him and asked.
Zhao Yingying's cheeks immediately turned bright red. Later, having no other choice, she directly turned on her phone.
She clicked on the chat history between Fang Chu and her, then lowered her head and handed the phone to Xu Mu.
As soon as Xu Mu took it, Zhao Yingying immediately ran into the kitchen. "I'll go help!"
Xu Mu shook his head slightly. Looking at the messages on the phone, he found that the chat history started when Fang Chu sent the video.
Then, Fang Chu rambled on and on.
To sum it up in one sentence, it was that Xu Mu was a bad guy, he was pretending, he had ill intentions when approaching them, and he wanted to take on both of them.
In response to Fang Chu's long - winded speech, Zhao Yingying just sent an emoji of a sweating face.
"Yingying, I'm backing out."
As Xu Mu spoke, he clicked the back button.
But when the phone returned to the previous interface, Xu Mu was extremely surprised. There were actually several missed messages.
Judging from the messages sent by these people, they should be her admirers.
Well, this was normal. It would be abnormal if a girl like Zhao Yingying wasn't pursued in college.
Seeing Zhao Yingying start to bring the dishes out, Xu Mu also got up to help.
In the end, there were three people, five dishes, and a bowl of soup.
"Xiaomu, eat more. Try my cooking."
Li Yun immediately picked up some dishes for Xu Mu.
Xu Mu lowered his head and took a bite, nodding secretly. Although it wasn't as good as what he cooked, the taste was really good.
"Brother Xu Mu, I'm also sorry for you. It was me who forwarded the message Fang Chu sent to mom."
Zhao Yingying also lowered her head at this moment.
Xu Mu swallowed the food in his mouth and then asked, "So, do you two believe what Fang Chu said?"
Li Yun and Zhao Yingying were a bit flustered and didn't know what to say.
Especially Li Yun. She really owed Xu Mu so much, but in the end, she was swayed by just a few words from Fang Chu.
She even wanted to slap herself.
"Then you two still dared to invite me? Aren't you afraid that I'll lose control?"
Xu Mu showed a smile and sized up Li Yun and Zhao Yingying.
"Xiaomu, don't joke. I'm really stupid. I can't even tell who is good to me."
Li Yun let out a deep sigh.
"Don't blame yourself. You were just deceived by Fang Chu."
Xu Mu waved his hand with a smile. "I've never been angry with you two."
To be precise, Fang Chu's video was okay, but he wasn't the villainous Xu Mu from before.
[Favorability + 10]
[Favorability + 20]
Li Yun looked at Xu Mu's handsome face and hurriedly lowered her head.
This man was really a good guy.
When Xu Mu ignored her, an idea even popped up in her mind.
That was that she was willing to cooperate with Xu Mu unconditionally as long as Zhao Yingying agreed.
Of course, she also had her own requirement, which was that it could be in batches but not all at once.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was her who had judged a gentleman's heart with a villain's mind.
"By the way, Xiaomu, can I buy a car?"
Li Yun suddenly said, "It's not very convenient to take a ride - hailing service when going home. If I have a car, I can come back from time to time. Anyway, the distance isn't far."
The reason she asked Xu Mu was that she felt she still owed him so much money.
She was afraid that Xu Mu would be unhappy if she thought about buying a car without paying off the debt.
"Sure. What kind of car do you want to buy, auntie?"
Xu Mu asked with a smile.
"A budget car worth a few thousand dollars will do. I used to run a breakfast shop and bought a Wuling Hongguang for hauling goods, but I sold it to pay for the medical bills."
Li Yun thought that with her current salary, it wouldn't be a problem to make monthly payments for a cheap car.
"Okay. Then buy a domestic one. Nowadays, our cars are no worse than joint - venture cars at all."
Xu Mu said to Li Yun, "If you need my help, just call me."
"Okay. Let's eat first."
Li Yun smiled at Xu Mu.
Xu Mu didn't eat much. After a simple meal, he planned to leave.
Actually, he didn't hold any grudges against Li Yun. They weren't like Ye Tong, who had the highest level of favorability towards him.
It was normal for them to have some doubts.
After the meal, Xu Mu said goodbye and left.
Li Yun got up and saw Xu Mu to his car.
Seeing Xu Mu get into the car, she still couldn't help but say, "Xiaomu, I owe you so much. If you have anything that needs my help, I'll definitely agree."
She didn't even know why she said such a thing to Xu Mu.
"Auntie, don't think too much. We're friends. Helping you is just a piece of cake."
After Xu Mu said that, he started the car. "I'm leaving."
Li Yun watched Xu Mu's departing back, and black words popped up above her head.
[Favorability + 10]
She was an adult and clearly knew one thing.
A person wouldn't be nice to others for no reason.
If he really did so, he must have some ulterior motives.
Li Yun originally thought that what Xu Mu wanted from being so nice to her was her daughter Zhao Yingying.
But when chatting with Zhao Yingying, she learned that Xu Mu had never actively talked to Zhao Yingying.
So what did Xu Mu want?
Surely not because of her work ability?
Li Yun knew that her position wasn't a technical one.
In other words, there wasn't much technical content in it, and anyone could replace her.
Then what else could Xu Mu be after?
Was he after their family's poverty?
What Fang Chu said this time reminded Li Yun.
Maybe, Xu Mu was really interested in her.
Thinking of this, Li Yun felt her heart start to race.
Xu Mu wouldn't be nice to her forever. Sooner or later, this matter would come to the surface.
Li Yun had no idea how she should respond when Xu Mu eventually brought up the matter.

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all."
