Chapter 660 The Vicious Ex-Wife Who Couldn't Share Hardship (23)
Jin Xirong looked at her phone, and the sharp lines on her face softened.
On the screen, Mu Zhou was sleeping soundly, his head resting on the pillow.
He stared silently for a long time until the secretary knocked on the door.
He muted the sound:
"Come in."
After arranging the work, the secretary said:
"I've made an appointment with a psychologist for you this afternoon. You'll be leaving in two hours."
"Ah."
Jin Xirong agreed.
Since confirming his love for Mu Zhou, he has begun to try to salvage his unhealthy mental state.
He was mentally ill, and he knew it very well.
It was as if he wished he could monitor Mu Zhou 24/7, and he also hoped that she could monitor him in the same way.
Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with it and enjoyed it.
However, he feared that Mu Zhou might one day grow tired of or dislike him.
In order for the two of them to be together for a long time, he began to try to change.
This was his second appointment with a psychologist.
The secretary then said:
"The news arrangements are all in place, is everything proceeding as planned?"
The operation is about to close; we must proceed with extreme caution.
After receiving an affirmative answer, the secretary said:
"Yes, Mr. Jin."
Everything was proceeding smoothly for Jin Xirong, while Mu Zhou had already finished his afternoon nap.
Seeing that Jin Xirong hadn't hung up yet, I silently admired his handsome face while he was working.
Seeing that he was about to leave, I said "bye-bye" and hung up the phone.
She and Lily booked a full-body spa treatment.
As I was leaving, Lily called:
"Zhouzhou, look at the news! Is it true or false?"
Then a screenshot was sent.
The content is about a well-known real estate developer cutting corners and using substandard raw materials in residential buildings, yet passing inspection through special means.
The content directly targets Jin Xirong's group.
However, Mu Zhou was not worried.
Before hanging up the video call, Jin Xirong had already given her a heads-up, fearing she might be upset again.
He explained everything to her.
This is Jin Zheyu's conspiracy.
His inside man, Su Chen, secretly altered the contract, deceived his superiors, and replaced the raw materials.
They were trying to ruin Jin Xirong completely through this incident.
Residential buildings are a matter of public concern, and any problems that arise can have serious consequences.
The punishment was naturally severe.
However, Jin Xirong already knew about this in advance, so he was prepared and used this opportunity to completely suppress Jin Zheyu.
Therefore, Mu Zhou was not worried.
Just as she was about to reply to Lily, Jin Xirong sent another message.
Don't worry, it's just a ruse; don't worry about how the news reports it.
I went to get a beauty treatment with a friend, and everything was over afterward.
Mu Zhou replied with a smile:
【Received, already on my way to the beauty salon.】
[Also, for today's check-up, show me a heart shape with your cheeks.]
Jin Xirong was initially worried that Mu Zhou would still be afraid and was preparing to go back to accompany her, but she was relieved to see that Mu Zhou was still in the mood to check on her.
But... what's with the heart shape on your cheeks?
Just as he was wondering what was going on, Mu Zhou sent him a selfie with her cheeks making a heart shape with her hands.
In the photo, she is smiling brightly, and her slightly pouting cheeks and the curve of her bent fingers form a heart shape.
Jin Xirong understood.
As usual, he saved the photo and then studied it.
A short while later, Mu Zhou received a selfie from Jin Xirong, who was making a heart shape with her cheeks.
She sat in the back seat of the car, laughing so hard she almost fell over.
In the photo, Jin Xirong has a serious face and awkwardly makes a heart shape with her cheeks.
Mu Zhou saved the photo, turned it into an emoji, and sent it back to him.
Jin Xirong's ears turned slightly red when she saw it.
Meanwhile, Mu Zhou and Lily had already arrived at the beauty salon.
The two lay on the bed, chatting idly.
Mu Zhou briefly explained the news and told Lily not to worry.
"Jin Xirong said to leave it to him to handle, I don't need to worry about it."
Lily was finally relieved.
The two had just finished a full-service massage, bath, and beauty treatment at the salon, and it was already dark when they came out.
Jin Xirong was already waiting in the lobby.
Mu Zhou felt completely relaxed and nestled into his arms:
"You're here."
"Well, let's go home."
After saying goodbye to Lily, Mu Zhou and Jin Xirong got into the car.
Only then did she have time to look at her phone.
At this point, public opinion had shifted dramatically.
An official announcement revealed that the company involved in the failed approval process for residential buildings was a foreign-invested real estate developer.
Foreign real estate developers, knowing they were doomed, continued to sell houses to muddy public opinion, thus dragging others down with them.
This foreign real estate developer is the Smith family, the conglomerate behind Jin Zheyu.
The public was outraged when they learned that they had been used as pawns by foreign capital.
They all demanded that the relevant departments make the other party leave the country.
At this moment, Jin Zheyu realized that he had been used.
It turns out that Jin Xirong already knew about his and the Smith family's plans.
By taking advantage of the situation, substituting one thing for another, and using a counter-strategy, they seized all of the Smith family's domestic businesses.
The Smith family suffered heavy losses, were fined heavily, and had their development license revoked, so naturally they wouldn't let him off the hook.
The Smith family is ruthless; he may not even be able to save his life.
So he immediately thought of escaping, but as soon as he got on the bus, he was hit on the back of the head with a club and passed out.
After that, Jin Zheyu vanished as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth, and no one knew anything about him anymore.
Su Chen, who was happily dreaming of becoming the group's vice president in the future, was suddenly taken away by the police.
He is suspected of selling trade secrets, and the evidence is conclusive.
Su Liuli was not spared either. She cried out that she was innocent, but it was no use, and she was taken away as well.
There has been a lot of online discussion about this real estate turmoil.
Mu Zhou was engrossed in watching when the car stopped.
She was listless and unwilling to move, clinging to Jin Xirong to carry her downstairs.
Jin Xirong naturally couldn't ask for it more.
Back in the room, Mu Zhou touched his suit jacket and felt something in the pocket, so he took it out without thinking.
It's a diagnosis form from a psychologist.
Jin Xirong's pupils contracted.
His condition was diagnosed as very serious, and he needed to take medication and have regular check-ups.
He instinctively wanted to take it back, but ultimately restrained himself.
Jin Xirong's throat was dry, and she clenched her fists:
"Zhouzhou, I will get better soon. Can you wait for me and not despise me?"
Even if he really dislikes it, he will never let go.
A dark glint flashed in Jin Xirong's eyes.
At worst, he would chain himself and Mu Zhou together, never to be separated again.
Mu Zhou, unaware of the changes in his heart, quickly scanned the contents of the list and then tossed it aside.
She suddenly jumped onto Jin Xirong, hooking her legs around his waist and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"You want me to not dislike you? Fine, then beg me."
She slightly raised her chin, her smile captivating and alluring.
Last night she was in the bathtub, completely subdued and powerless to resist. Today I'm going to teach him a lesson.
Jin Xirong was caught off guard when she suddenly jumped up and instinctively grabbed her to prevent her from sliding down.
Upon hearing her conditions, he immediately replied:
"Please, please don't leave me."
Mu Zhou held up his index finger and shook it in front of him:
"You can't just beg with your mouth."
Her meaningful gaze made Jin Xirong pause in her breath.
For some reason, my heart suddenly felt hot.
