CHAPTER 1286: CHAPTER 357: LOVE YOU FOR TEN THOUSAND YEARS (PART 7)

Someone was criticizing.

Wu Jiaojiao awkwardly squeezed out a bit of a smile. Qin Mu sat inside, leaning against the comfortable sofa cushion, playing with a wine glass and gently swaying it. In fact, Qin Mu didn’t originally want to pay attention to her, but someone just liked to stir up trouble.

"But it’s good this way too; your dad has been hoping for you to work at the company for a long time. Your brother is just useless, doing nothing at the company. You better make him proud."

The person sitting next to her consoled her.

"Hmm!"

"You better listen to your sister-in-law, otherwise, your dad might give you and your brother a little brother, and the family business will become someone else’s, leaving you no room for regret!"

Someone who didn’t mind causing trouble just said it straight out.

"Oh dear, sister-in-law, what are you talking about? My dad’s heart is with our family. How could he have kids with other women?"

Wu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but argue back.

"Well, you never know. Your dad has more than one or two women outside. Maybe he’s already given you brothers and sisters!"

Wu Jiaojiao...

Qin Mu couldn’t listen anymore because she was really shocked. She didn’t realize Wu Jiaojiao’s father was so capable.

Wu Jiaojiao saw the change in Qin Mu’s expression and felt even more irritated under the multi-colored lights. She wished she could shut these women up, but she knew all too well about their love of gossip. Originally, she wanted them to gossip about Qin Mu; but now, it’s turned on her.

"Sorry! I need to step out for a bit!"

Qin Mu thought for a while, then put the wine glass on the table and stood up.

"Okay! Let’s chat later if you have time!"

The women were intent on pulling Wu Jiaojiao into gossip, paying no mind to Qin Mu, and let her leave.

Qin Mu smiled, nodded, and walked away. She saw Mu Yichen and Qiao Yi chatting with others in the distance, so she lifted the fabric of her dress and headed towards the restroom.

At the restroom entrance, she ran into Liu Jingyuan. Liu Jingyuan was smoking and chatting with friends, with no female companions around. He noticed a flickering light nearby, and when he turned his head, he saw Qin Mu lifting her skirt to come over, stunned for a few seconds.

Even another real estate developer who saw Qin Mu was momentarily dazed but quickly took the cigarette from his lips, nodded at Qin Mu, and said, "Mrs. Mu!"

"Hello!"

Qin Mu nodded and then walked in with her head down.

Liu Jingyuan stood there without moving. His companion glanced at him and then left first. Liu Jingyuan said he’d finish his cigarette.

Qin Mu stayed in the restroom for a long time. She originally wanted to find a quiet place to relax, but after this encounter, she thought she’d never come back to the restroom again. Next time, she should go straight to the rooftop to Mu’s room, change out of her clothes, and lie on the bed waiting for Mu to come find her after his chats.

Liu Jingyuan waited outside for a while, finished his cigarette, and was about to leave when Qin Mu came out. Liu Jingyuan turned his head to see her, and Qin Mu saw him when she raised her gaze.

Neither of them expected this.

"Mr. Liu!"

"Long time no see!"

Facing Qin Mu’s slight nod of acquaintance, Liu Jingyuan smiled and greeted in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Qin Mu really wasn’t the chatty type, so she just smiled and nodded.

"I heard you stayed in Paris for a while. How was it?"

"It was quite good! My father-in-law wasn’t in good health, so I stayed there with him for a period of recuperation."

Qin Mu thought about it and didn’t want to cause him to overthink.

Liu Jingyuan nodded; although she only added a few words, it was a gift to him.

"Is the old gentleman doing well now?"

"Yes!"

Qin Mu nodded again, and there was nothing else to say.

"That’s good to hear! The old gentleman from the Mu family has always been robust and will surely be fine! You should also take care of yourself."

This time seeing her, Liu Jingyuan thought she had lost quite a bit of weight.

"Hmm! Then I’ll..."

Qin Mu glanced at the long corridor ahead, hinting at a farewell.

"Goodbye!"

Liu Jingyuan leaned against the wall, calmly watching her leave.

Qin Mu lowered her head and passed by him, lifting her skirt bit by bit as she walked away.

It took a long time for Liu Jingyuan to turn his head. At the end of the corridor was Mu Yichen’s figure, who intercepted her and embraced her from the back, walking with her together.

Their intimate relationship truly made people envious!

Liu Jingyuan lowered his head again, his expression somber as if suffering from a serious illness.

His wife was actually in the restroom, but she only came out long after Liu Jingyuan had left the corridor.

Mu Yichen embraced her to greet Qiao Yi before leaving. Qiao Yi came alone since Xi Meng didn’t like attending such events. Having witnessed many such situations, she finally had the chance to stay home with the kids and accompany the elders when not summoned by her boss.
