Before Xu Mu could even explain, Fu Jinyu grabbed his arm and threw him out.
Xu Mu immediately stabilized his body in mid-air and finally landed by the window. "Are you trying to throw me out? This is the twenty-something floor, lady!"
"You'd deserve it if you died! Do you think I don't know anything?"
Fu Jinyu crossed her arms and glared at Xu Mu.
As early as ten years ago, she had picked up a mobile phone that contained some videos and novels.
Since then, it was as if a door to a whole new world had opened for her.
"You're overthinking again. I say, Sister Empress, why are you so dirty-minded?"
Xu Mu walked over with a helpless look on his face.
"Are you turning the tables on me? Xu Mu, don't think that just because you saved me, I wouldn't dare to hit you, I..."
As Fu Jinyu was speaking, Xu Mu placed a spatial ring in front of her.
She immediately shut her mouth. "Ahem, I'll forgive you this once."
[Affection +10]
After saying that, she reached out to take it, put it on her finger, and after injecting her Qi, activated the formation.
Sure enough, she saw a small space appear before her eyes.
"Am I good to you or what? My Wanyue doesn't even have one yet, but I gave it to you first."
Xu Mu said calmly.
After putting on the ring, Fu Jinyu's expression turned cold again. "It's only right for you to treat me well. This can also be considered a disguised way of protecting you."
"Heh, women. Turning your back on someone the moment you get what you want."
Xu Mu waved his hand at Fu Jinyu. "I'm leaving. Your KFC will be delivered in a bit."
With that, he left the place.
Fu Jinyu stared blankly at the door. After a long while, a smile emerged on her face.
...
After Xu Mu finished giving instructions to the manager here, he returned to the villa together with Meng Wanyue.
By the time they got home, it was already past eleven o'clock.
He didn't let Meng Wanyue go back, but instead had her sleep over at the villa; there were plenty of rooms anyway.
As soon as he arrived in the living room, Xu Mu checked with his perception and found that Ye Tong was not asleep yet, still looking at her phone in bed.
She was obviously waiting for him. She seemed to have heard the noise as well, as she put on her slippers and came out of her room.
"Hubby, you're back?"
Ye Tong smiled by the railing on the second floor. "Wanyue is here too."
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Xu Mu looked up and asked.
"Wasn't I waiting for you? Have you guys eaten? Let me go cook something for you."
Ye Tong walked down from the second floor.
"No need, I can do it myself."
After saying that, Xu Mu walked into the kitchen. "Wait a moment, Wanyue, I'll make some noodles for you."
Meng Wanyue nodded.
Ye Tong pulled Meng Wanyue over to sit on the sofa and chat.
"Wanyue, what did you guys go out to do?"
"We went exploring in the ruins. This time..."
Meng Wanyue suddenly stopped speaking here. She was considering whether or not to tell Ye Tong about Ye Chen.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Tong noticed that Meng Wanyue stopped halfway and got a little curious. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and a smile appeared on her face. "You didn't get trapped in a disaster, did you? And then thought that since you couldn't get out, you might as well become a married couple in adversity."
She often saw this kind of thing in TV shows and novels.
To put it bluntly, it was seeing true love in times of hardship; since they couldn't escape, they might as well be husband and wife for a day.
"No, no!"
Meng Wanyue's face turned slightly red as she hurriedly waved her hands. Taking a deep breath, she decided to tell the truth after all. "It's Ye Chen! Ye Chen wants to kill Brother Mu!"
Hearing this, the smile on Ye Tong's face instantly disappeared.
She asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"
"I..."
Meng Wanyue didn't know how to explain it, then lowered her head and said, "It's better to let Brother Mu tell you."
Ye Tong immediately got up from the sofa and headed to the kitchen. "Hubby, what did Ye Chen do to you? Are you hurt?"
Xu Mu looked at Ye Tong. "Don't worry, let's talk about it while we eat. My body is perfectly fine."
This time, Xu Mu simply made two bowls of noodles.
The three of them sat at the dining table. Ye Tong kept looking at Xu Mu, waiting for him to continue.
Xu Mu didn't hide anything and gave a rough account of what had happened this time.
The cause was that Ye Chen had found a few experts and wanted to kill him inside the ruins, asking Meng Wanyue to find a way to lure Xu Mu there.
Xu Mu, on the other hand, also found experts and prepared to beat him at his own game by going to the ruins, taking the opportunity to see if he could get any treasures.
After listening, Ye Tong immediately stood up and walked upstairs.
"What are you going to do?"
Xu Mu asked.
"I'm going to call Ye Chen. He's simply insane. To kill you, he even went out of his way to find experts. How exactly have you wronged him?"
As Ye Tong spoke, tears streamed down her face.
"Alright, aren't I fine?"
Xu Mu stepped forward to comfort her. "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Ye Tong clenched her fists and ultimately could only nod.
After the meal, Meng Wanyue washed the dishes. Xu Mu casually found a room for her to rest in.
He then walked upstairs together with Ye Tong.
He was indeed a bit tired today, and Ye Tong's mood wasn't quite right either, so Xu Mu planned to give her a day off.
...
Early the next morning.
Xu Mu stretched his back vigorously. After a good night's sleep, he had indeed recovered.
He still had things to do today, which was to handle Fang Chu's funeral arrangements.
Fang Chu was already dead. He definitely had to notify the Guo family and explain the situation to prevent Ye Chen from beating him to it.
After Ye Tong made breakfast, the family, along with Meng Wanyue, sat together.
After the meal, everyone started to get busy with their own affairs.
After Ye Tong drove away, she didn't head to the company. Instead, she called Ye Chen to ask where he currently was.
This time, she wanted to properly ask Ye Chen how exactly Xu Mu had offended him.
Yang City, Mu Corporation.
Mu Qingying was reporting to Ye Chen about their products.
Xiao Ran was sitting on the sofa to the side; she had been worried for a whole day yesterday.
When Ye Chen returned, she couldn't tell from his expression whether he had succeeded or not.
Around seven or eight in the evening, she had even called Meng Wanyue, but she was out of the service area.
She sent several messages in a row. It wasn't until eleven-thirty at night that Meng Wanyue replied, telling her that Xu Mu was fine.
Only then did Xiao Ran get a good night's sleep.
"The negative reviews for our recent products remain consistently high, but our sales have multiplied. Those who scold us still use the same unified rhetoric, which is to say that we plagiarized."
Mu Qingying reported the news to Ye Chen.
"Humans are just this kind of creature, cursing while buying."
Ye Chen said to Mu Qingying, "How is the progress on the second type of medicine I asked you to produce?"
"The required materials have been prepared, and the trial products will begin production immediately."
Mu Qingying looked at Ye Chen and said.
"Good. Once our original medicine hits the market, our reputation will definitely reverse."
As Ye Chen spoke, a knock on the door came. "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Ye Tong appeared standing at the doorway. Behind her followed a man in a suit.
"Dragon King, the person has arrived."
"Alright, you may leave."
Ye Chen nodded indifferently.
After Ye Tong walked in, she didn't say a single opening pleasantry but went straight to the point.
With a cold expression, she said, "Ye Chen! Why did you treat Xu Mu like that? How exactly has he wronged you?"
