Chapter 759 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (6)
The man's voice was like a gentle stream, clear and melodious, telling his story in a gentle and persuasive way.
It has a calming effect on people's hearts.
Mu Zhou's panic subsided considerably upon hearing his voice.
She nodded, then suddenly remembered that he probably couldn't see her, so she said:
"it is good."
In the darkness, Mu Zhou turned on her phone's flashlight and silently moved closer to him.
It seems like this would make us safer.
She didn't know if he noticed her actions.
In short, he did not dodge when Mu Zhou lingered next to him.
Once things quieted down, scenes from disaster movies began to uncontrollably surface in Mu Zhou's mind.
She had to speak up to divert his attention:
"Are you a resident here? I'm just visiting a friend. The elevators here shouldn't have many accidents, right?"
This is considered one of the most prestigious locations in the city, and the residents are all wealthy and influential.
I suppose the property management company is reliable.
Sure enough, the man confirmed her doubts:
“I’ve lived here for over two years, and this is the first time something like this has happened.”
The man wasn't annoyed by her making small talk; on the contrary, sensing her unease, he tapped his phone a few times.
He placed the phone in front of Mu Zhou:
"look."
Mu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at his phone.
The phone screen is showing a chat page.
He is in real-time contact with the property management, and the maintenance personnel are already downstairs and will be coming up soon.
In the soft light, Mu Zhou felt inexplicably at ease, and she looked at the man's face for the first time:
"Thank you."
"There's nothing to thank me for, I didn't do anything."
Knowing that the maintenance personnel had arrived downstairs, Mu Zhou was no longer afraid.
She then vaguely realized that the man looked somewhat familiar, and couldn't help but take another look.
In the dim light of the flashlight, Mu Zhou only felt that the man's facial features were gentle and gentle, and he looked non-threatening.
The next instant, all the lights in the elevator suddenly turned on, and the elevator doors opened.
Mu Zhou was overjoyed, and his heart finally settled down.
The property manager immediately bowed and apologized upon seeing the two.
Mu Zhou didn't say anything, since nothing unexpected happened anyway.
But the man spoke up.
His tone wasn't harsh, it was even quite gentle, but the words he spoke made people feel incredibly pressured.
"Manager Li, it's best to inspect elevators before an accident happens, rather than waiting until a problem occurs before performing maintenance and inspection. This shouldn't be difficult to do, right?"
Manager Li was so anxious he was almost sweating, and hurriedly nodded:
"Yes, you're right. This was our oversight. We should have checked for the problem earlier and prevented this accident from happening. We are so sorry to have frightened you and this lady."
After another round of apologies, Mu Zhou and the man finally left.
When they got downstairs, Mu Zhou finally remembered.
"No wonder you looked familiar; we met at Yongzhen Restaurant last time."
The man smiled faintly:
"That's right, we're very much meant to be."
He didn't seem surprised at all, as if he had already recognized Mu Zhou.
He extended his hand:
"Let's get to know each other again. Hello, my name is Song Chuyu."
"Hello, I am Mu Zhou."
Perhaps because they had just gone through thick and thin together, Mu Zhou naturally let down her guard and shook hands with him casually.
She glanced at her phone out of the corner of her eye and realized that she had just called a car.
When she opened the interface, she found that it was still spinning in circles and no one had accepted her order.
Just as she was deciding to add more money to the order, Song Chuyu said:
Where are you going? I'll give you a ride.
"No need, no need, I'll just call a car."
Mu Zhou was too embarrassed to trouble others, especially someone he had just met.
But Song Chuyu persisted.
His reasons were also irresistible to her:
“I already feel bad that you were dragged into this last time, but the timing wasn’t right and I couldn’t make it up to you right away. Now, I hope you can give me this chance.”
Mu Zhou suddenly empathized with his statement.
She has this kind of personality too.
If I accidentally involve someone else, I will definitely find a chance to make amends, otherwise I will feel guilty and hold a grudge.
Seeing Song Chuyu's sincere expression, she nodded in agreement.
"Okay then, please."
Song Chuyu smiled and said:
"No trouble."

The roads were a bit congested on the rainy day, but fortunately Song Chuyu was a very knowledgeable person who was involved in various fields, so chatting with him was never boring.
Mu Zhou also learned that he had returned from studying abroad and was currently an associate professor at Shanghai University.
"Wow, that's amazing. He's a professor at such a young age."
What's remarkable is that he doesn't preach at all when he speaks; chatting with him makes time fly by and is very relaxing.
As they neared home, Mu Zhou looked at the drizzling rain outside and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's good to have a car. I'll go look at cars next weekend."
Just then, the light turned red, and Song Chuyu looked at her:
"I know a bit about cars, so perhaps I can give you some advice."
"Okay, I'll look into it and I'll definitely ask you if I need anything."
Mu Zhou only gave an ambiguous answer.
After getting out of the car, Mu Zhou held Song Chuyu's umbrella and watched his car leave before turning around and going upstairs.
The favorability rating has remained steadily at 15%.
Mu Zhou's steps home were lighter.

Mu Zhou and Qin Zheng entered a new round of cold war.
Neither of them contacted the other.
Even Qin Zheng's drinking buddies noticed something was wrong.
"Brother Zheng, why haven't I seen you taking your wife out for fun lately?"
Qin Zheng gave him a cold, sidelong glance, and the other person immediately straightened up, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.
But what did I say wrong?
sister in law?
What happened to Mu Zhou? Did they break up?
The others in the private room quickly realized this as well.
Some clever young girls are already preparing to take the initiative.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng's next words completely blocked their path:
"Your sister-in-law is busy; she just started working and has a lot to do."
The tone was normal.
The girls instantly deflated.
Men like President Qin are their ideal targets.
They come from good families and are capable enough to not be controlled by their families.
Most importantly, he was morally upright and would never engage in casual flings.
Unfortunately, he was already taken, so they could only secretly covet him.
The private room was lively again.
But Qin Zheng's heart just couldn't warm up.
He tugged at his collar, unable to hide his agitation.
He looked at his phone again.
Mu Zhou hadn't contacted him for a long time.
He inexplicably started scrolling through their previous chat history.
Suddenly, it became clear that Mu Zhou was usually the more proactive one in their conversations.
She speaks in a witty and gentle way, sometimes saying some useless "nonsense," and sometimes sharing small things.
While he did reply to every single message, his response was relatively cold and succinct.
A few words are usually enough to answer the question.
He suddenly realized that Mu Zhou was just a young girl in her early twenties.
Even if she acts very gentle and considerate, she still has the nature of a young girl.
Perhaps she felt wronged, which is why she threw a tantrum?
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, and the gloom between his brows dissipated slightly.
He tilted his head back and drank the champagne in his glass in one gulp.
