A female character in a book, regaining her luck

Chapter 121 A Gift for a Lie

Zhu Xin received a call from Mu Chaosheng, asking him to meet at the teahouse.

Although the two are engaged, they have very little contact, even in the last few days when the engagement ceremony is about to be held.

Now she suddenly asked him to meet her, which surprised Zhu Xin and made him feel a little uneasy.

When he arrived, Mu Chaosheng had already arrived.

Zhu Xin sat opposite Mu Chaosheng: "Miss Mu, have you finally remembered that we are going to get engaged?"

Mu Chaosheng smiled. She did not respond to Zhu Xin's question, but asked, "Mr. Zhu, I remember I told you before that Miss Fang appeared in the hospital. Is Miss Fang in good health?"

When Zhu Xin heard Fang Ke's name, his originally calm expression suddenly turned alert.

Although he was confused, he didn't feel that Mu Chaosheng's question contained any malicious intent.

Because ever since they reached a consensus when they first met, she has never asked about his affairs.

Instead, he reminded him of Fang Ke's affairs.

So even though he felt confused, he still had a polite smile on his face and shook his head: "I contacted her, but she didn't say anything."

"Then what?" Mu Chaosheng was a little surprised.

Zhu Xin was also surprised, but he quickly understood what Mu Chaosheng meant and said in a casual manner, "I already have a fiancée. I have no position or qualifications to ask about her affairs."

Mu Chaosheng nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly smiled meaningfully.

There was a hint of displeasure in this smile, which made Zhu Xin feel unhappy, as if it was teasing him.

He didn't know Mu Chaosheng, but she was his fiancée and future partner after all, so he had been paying attention to Mu Chaosheng's movements since they reached a consensus during their first meeting.

Everything he heard and saw told him that this Miss Mu was not just a crazy person with a love brain, but she was both sharp and resourceful.

"Ms. Mu, I hope that what happens between us won't involve other people, especially Fang Ke. I hope you can understand."

Mu Chaosheng's impression of Zhu Xin was that he was cheerful and sunny, but now she saw a bit of dullness and darkness in his eyes: he was politely reminding her.

"That won't do!" Mu Chaosheng ignored Zhu Xin and rejected him directly and decisively.

Zhu Xin's face suddenly darkened and his expression became solemn. The friendly and kind feeling on his body disappeared in an instant.

Mu Chaosheng took out a file bag from his bag and placed it in front of Zhu Xin, saying with a smile: "Don't be angry, I'm here to give you a gift today!"

She signaled Zhu Xin with her eyes to open it and take a look.

Zhu Xin cautiously opened the file bag. After reading the documents inside, the vigilance and atmosphere on his face were replaced by shock and disbelief: Fang Ke was pregnant...

He looked at Mu Chaosheng, as if asking her to verify the authenticity of the document, and Mu Chaosheng nodded seriously.

After getting a positive answer, Zhu Xin felt as if struck by lightning. He was at a loss as to what to do. The room then fell into silence for a long time.

After Mu Chaosheng held an online press conference, some clues about his affair with Fang Ke were revealed, and Mu Chaosheng informed him at that time.

It was that time that the two of them couldn't help but be together, and since that time, Fang Ke never saw him again.

That was their last...

After a long time, Zhu Xin seemed to have made up his mind and said, "How do you want to solve it?"

Unlike Zhu Xin who was on high alert, Mu Chaosheng was relaxed and at ease. She put down her teacup and said, "It's not about how I want to solve it now, but how you want to solve it. The husband should follow his lead!"

Hearing the husband singing the same tune as the wife, Zhu Xin's face became even more gloomy.

"Miss Mu, I'm sorry, I don't think I can get engaged to you..."

"Mu's investment has just begun, you have to think it through!"

"I have thought it through. I will take my own consequences and have no complaints."

Zhu Xin's answer was firm, without any hesitation.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. If you had refused from the beginning, you wouldn't be so passive."

"You're right. Since I've made a mistake the first time, I can't make the same mistake a second time. So I'm sorry..."

There was no obvious fluctuation in Mu Chaosheng's emotions, as if his choice had been anticipated long ago.

If that's the case, does that mean she won't make things difficult for him...?

But Mu Chaosheng's next words shattered his fantasy.

"Perhaps you can solve the problem of Mu's investment, but can you solve the problem of Miss Fang interfering as a third party? She will definitely become the target of public criticism!"

The threat in Mu Chaosheng's words was obvious. Zhu Xin's fantasy was shattered and he returned to reality. She was indeed a capable person as he thought.

How could she fulfill their wish so easily?

"Ms. Mu, there is no love between us. Instead of getting entangled, it is better for us to live in peace. But no matter what, I was the one who wronged you first, so you can put forward any conditions you want."

Although Mu Chaosheng had no intention of unconditionally fulfilling their wish, judging from her expression, she didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to get entangled with him.

So Zhu Xin felt that Mu Chaosheng must want to get something from him.

"Mr. Zhu, you are such a smart man!" Mu Chaosheng exclaimed sincerely.

Zhu Xin smiled helplessly.

Mu Chaosheng knocked on the file bag and said, "I'll exchange this for something with you."

"what?"

"A lie..."

"Hmm?" Zhu Xin confirmed again: "A lie?"

"That's right!" Mu Chaosheng took back the file bag and sat up straight. "You and I cancelled our engagement two and a half months ago. Since then, everyone has the freedom to marry. Miss Fang is naturally not a third party. How about being pregnant before marriage?"

This lie may seem to benefit the other party without any harm, but upon closer inspection, this is not entirely true.

This means that they had just called off their engagement and he was already together with another woman. If this attracts attention, Fang Ke will still be blamed.

But if you don't agree, it will do more harm than good.

Zhu Xin would definitely not refuse, he was just curious why Mu Chaosheng made this request.

He was trying to protect Fang Ke, but who was she trying to protect?

"Ms. Mu, although you have your own purpose, I still want to thank you for telling me this."

Mu Chaosheng smiled, "Mr. Zhu, you don't have to thank me. This is actually the same as our first meeting. We just reached a consensus that is beneficial to both of us. There is no apology or thanks."

Zhu Xin was shocked by Mu Chaosheng's rationality and open-mindedness.

At the beginning, in order to shoulder the responsibility of the family business, he had to bow to Mu's investment, and he felt frustrated and lost.

And now, he was even somewhat glad that the person he was bowing to was Mu Chaosheng.

If it were someone else, there might not be this chance to make amends.

"Ms. Mu, I will do my best to take care of the engagement ceremony. We can talk about the details later. I have to take care of some things now." Zhu Xin's top priority now is to meet Fang Ke.

She refused to tell him about her pregnancy, and he was worried she would do something stupid.

"Mr. Zhu, don't worry. I have an appointment with someone today. She should be here soon."

"Ms. Mu, the person you are dating is not..."

Before Zhu Xin finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. It turned out that the waiter led Fang Ke to the private room.

Fang Ke didn't know that Zhu Xin was also here. When she saw the two of them together, she wanted to escape, because she couldn't bear to see the man she loved and his fiancée together in front of her.

But she can't escape!

Originally she didn't know why Mu Chaosheng wanted to ask her out, but now she knows!

She felt that Mu Chaosheng must have known about her relationship with Zhu Xin, and had specially asked her to come over to assert his sovereignty in front of her and to embarrass her!

In this case, she must not lose her composure in the slightest!

When Zhu Xin saw Fang Ke, he stood up reflexively and wanted to greet her, but Fang Ke walked around Zhu Xin and sat far away from both of them.

"Only then..."

Zhu Xin turned to Fang Ke and wanted to say something, but Fang Ke simply ignored him and looked at Mu Chaosheng instead.

"Ms. Mu, I heard that you and Mr. Zhu are going to get engaged. Congratulations!" Fang Ke's words were filled with strong gunpowder.

"Fang Ke, that's not the case..."

Before Zhu Xin had the chance to explain, he was interrupted by Mu Chaosheng.

"Thank you, Miss Fang! I just happened to hear about a piece of good news. I heard that Miss Fang is pregnant. Congratulations!"

Fang Ke's expression suddenly changed when she heard these words. She glanced at Zhu Xin unconsciously, then quickly looked away.

The shyness, guilt and anger mixed together on her face were clearly visible.

At this time, she was completely sure that Mu Chaosheng asked her to come here just to humiliate her.

Mu Chaosheng felt that he had gone too far and should not argue with a pregnant woman.

When Zhu Xin stood up and walked over to explain and comfort him, Fang Ke stood up with a cold face, "Congratulations!"

"Fang Ke, please listen to my explanation..."

"I don't need your explanation, your fiancée needs it more."

The tense atmosphere became more awkward. Zhu Xin, who was known to be cheerful and talkative, didn't say anything to the point except some irrelevant remarks.

Mu Chaosheng couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"Ms. Fang, first of all, Mr. Zhu and I are no longer engaged. He is a free man. If you don't need his explanation, then I don't need it either."

"Second, whatever the relationship between you, your child and Mr. Zhu is, it is your own business. It has nothing to do with me or anyone else."

"Third, I have never liked Mr. Zhu. I have someone I like in my heart. I agreed to cancel the engagement for him. Morally, we are the same, so you don't have to be burdened by moral shackles."

Mu Chaosheng's words completely overturned Fang Ke's imagination. Surprise, confusion, and confusion occupied all her thoughts. She looked at Zhu Xin for confirmation: "Is this true?"

Zhu Xin wiped the tears from Fang Ke's face with a smile and nodded.

Fang Ke knocked Zhu Xin's hand away and said angrily, "She abandoned you, and you come to me again. Am I a toy in your eyes that you can summon and send away at will? Come when you want, leave when you want?"

"Maybe!" Mu Chaosheng said loudly, answering Zhu Xin's question directly, "In order to get Mu's investment for his own business, he chose to give up on you! This shows that your position in his heart is indeed lacking."

He really enjoys watching the fun! Zhu Xin wanted to kick Mu Chaosheng out!

In fact, Mu Chaosheng didn't want to stay here and be a light bulb, but she hadn't finished her story yet, so she couldn't leave.

"But now, he has no hesitation in canceling the engagement with me for your sake. This means that he has given up the investment in the Mu family, and the Zhu family's business will be ruined!"

"If you want to take revenge on such a wavering man, now is the best time. Abort the child, run away, make him bankrupt, and make him lose his wife and children!"

"Ms. Fang, no one will condemn you for doing this. After all, he was the one who abandoned you first."

"The reason I asked you to come here today is to let you know everything. The one who made you suffer from beginning to end was Mr. Zhu. It had nothing to do with me! After all, I am a public figure. If I can be liked by others, I definitely don't want to be hated by others!"

After Mu Chaosheng finished speaking, Fang Ke cried even more violently, and scared Zhu Xin out of his wits.

"Is what she said true?"

"Yes, but..."

"You are such a fool!" Fang Ke picked up the bag in his hand, pushed Zhu Xin away and ran out.

Before Zhu Xin chased after him, he looked at Mu Chaosheng helplessly, his eyes seemed to say: "You really killed me!"

After the two ran out, Mu Chaosheng walked to the window and lifted a corner of the curtain, revealing a clear view of the street outside the teahouse.
