Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 565 The Sobering Fall of the Cannon Fodder Junior Schoolgirl (5)

Amidst Lin Yumo's unpleasant expression, Mu Zhou, with sparkling eyes, recounted her past with Xu Ran.

"At the time, I felt that I was not good enough for Xu Ran, so I didn't dare to confess. I thought we were destined to be apart, but who knew that we would meet again many years later."

As she spoke, she glanced shyly at Xu Ran.

“It was at a dinner party. I was being forced to drink, and Xu Ran helped me out. I didn’t expect him to remember me. Later… we got married.”

Mu Zhou described things that actually happened, without any fabrication, but in reality, they were completely different from the truth.

It's a classic montage-style lie: it tells 90% of what actually happened, but hides the most important 10%.

The meanings expressed vary greatly.

Xu Ran stared at Mu Zhou in surprise, only to see her wink at him mischievously.

Her eyes sparkled, as lively as a fawn's, and plunged straight into his chest.

His heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively looked away.

His silence was tantamount to acknowledging Mu Zhou's statement.

Meeting Lin Yumo's pursed lips, Mu Zhou poured himself a glass of juice and raised it to her:

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Yu Mo, otherwise Xu Ran and I might have been delayed for a long time. I'll toast you with juice instead of wine, and I hope we can both be happy."

Mu Zhou was just going along with what Lin Yumo was saying, so Lin Yumo naturally had to cooperate.

She gritted her teeth, raised her glass, and clinked it against hers.

He then quickly left to exchange pleasantries with the others.

Even if they maintain a smile, the smile rarely reaches their eyes.

Lin Yumo felt extremely suffocated.

I really underestimated Mu Zhou.

I initially thought she was a silly and stupid girl, but it turns out she's both cunning and naive.

He said those hurtful things to her with that innocent and naive face, and she couldn't even blame him.

What kind of taste does Xu Ran have? How could she fall for someone so two-faced?

She was extremely irritable.

No, I need to find an opportunity to talk to Xu Ran. I can't let him be deceived.

Ultimately, it was she who hurt Xu Ran; otherwise, he wouldn't have married Mu Zhou.

She has to take responsibility.

No one knew what Xu Ran was thinking. Mu Zhou received a phone call, told Xu Ran what he was doing, and then got up and left.

It was a call from a colleague.

She walked to the rest area in the corridor, sat down, chatted with her colleagues about work for a while, and then hung up.

Just as I was about to go back, I was startled by someone who suddenly appeared behind me.

"what……"

She gasped in surprise and instinctively stepped back, almost tripping over the chair.

"Be careful."

The man put his arm around her shoulder to help her steady herself.

After Mu Zhou stood up, she quickly pushed him away, her face pale from fright.

Jiang Chen stared blankly at her face, his throat bobbing before he finally spoke:

"Sorry, I startled you."

Mu Zhou gave him a wary look, then walked past him and was about to leave.

Jiang Chenbai instinctively grabbed her slender wrist, blocking her way.

Mu Zhou's eyes widened in fright, making him look more like a rabbit baring its teeth and claws.

"what are you doing?"

"I...I'm sorry, I just wanted to apologize to you."

Jiang Chenbai stared at her with longing.

This frizzy, angry look makes it even more convincing.

Mu Zhou struggled to pull her arm away and moved further away from him.

Her wrist ached from his grip, and she couldn't help but touch it with her other hand.

"It's okay, I'm going back now."

"Wait a moment."

Jiang Chenbai stood in front of her, which made Mu Zhou even more certain that he had ill intentions.

She was so angry that her lips were tightly pressed together, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were filled with displeasure.

I am dissatisfied with his absurdity.

"Mr. Jiang, you and Yu Mo are getting married soon."

She reminded him of his status and hoped he would respect himself.

Seeing that she disliked him, Jiang Chenbai instantly softened his demeanor and handed her his phone.

"I'm sorry my behavior may have startled you, but I meant no harm. You and my sister look a lot alike. I just... couldn't help but want to talk to you a little more."

The phone screen showed a photo of Jiang Chenbai and a little girl.

The two stood by the sea, both smiling brightly.

Mu Zhou was astonished when he saw the little girl in the photo.

"How can they look so alike..."

She couldn't help but say.

Now, she finally believed Jiang Chenbai's explanation.

Jiang Chenbai put his phone away and smiled at her, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.

He talked about his relationship with his sister:

“My sister and I are half-sisters. She is my father’s illegitimate daughter. My father had an affair with her mother. Later, her mother became pregnant. My father made her abort the pregnancy, but she couldn’t bear it and secretly gave birth to the baby.”

Later, her father gave her some money to send the man away and didn't bother with him anymore.

Anyway, who knows how many illegitimate children he has?

Jiang Chenbai's marriage to his parents was a business arrangement. The two parents do not interfere with each other and each has illegitimate children. However, there is one condition: the children outside cannot affect Jiang Chenbai.

So no one cared about the birth of this illegitimate daughter.

"Later, we met, got to know each other, and fell in love during our travels."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhou opened his mouth in shock, but quickly closed it again when Jiang Chenbai looked over, pretending to be calm.

When Jiang Chenbai talked about these things again, he was no longer in so much pain. He looked at Mu Zhou's little expression and even smiled.

"Later, our identities were exposed, and we had to separate. My sister went abroad and is now married with children."

Mu Zhou quickly processed this information and eventually came to a terrifying conclusion.

"You mean, I might also be one of your parents' illegitimate children?"

Otherwise, why would he say these things to her?

His guess stunned Jiang Chenbai, and now it was his turn to be shocked and speechless.

"...No, that's not what I meant."

His lips twitched, and he couldn't help but want to rub his forehead and force a bitter smile.

The girl in front of me has such a wildly divergent way of thinking.

He just wanted to flirt with her by sharing his past pain and gain her sympathy.

Isn't it said that men like this are the most attractive to girls?

Something seems off...

Seeing his denial, Mu Zhou nodded seriously and looked at him:

“I don’t think so, because my parents are honest and law-abiding rural people, and I have a birth certificate. I look exactly like my father. You must be overthinking it.”

Seeing that things were developing in another direction, Jiang Chenbai had no choice but to immediately change the subject:

"What a coincidence! Can we exchange contact information?"

"of course."

After learning that he really did look like his sister and that he meant no harm, Mu Zhou's wariness towards him lessened considerably.

After adding each other as friends, Jiang Chenbai still didn't want to give up his original routine and talked about the pain and suffering he had endured during his years abroad.

Many girls would find it hard to resist the allure of a handsome, seemingly strong man who suddenly reveals his previously unknown vulnerable side.

Mu Zhou, having let his guard down, was no exception.

When Jiang Chenbai looked at her, he noticed that her eyes were red-rimmed and her trembling eyelashes were wet.

They seemed extremely distressed by his plight.
