Chapter 60 The Relationship Between Chen Lan and Chen Hao
Xu Shu is a businesswoman, and her primary concern will undoubtedly be the interests of the comic book company. Therefore, the interests she's talking about will, to some extent, be detrimental to Mu Xiaoyu.
However, in Mu Xiaoyu's opinion, the clause added by Xu Shu was completely meaningless.
It simply means that Mu Xiaoyu will bear all the losses and responsibilities caused by the comic's leak. Since Mu Xiaoyu was able to say those things in front of Xu Shu, it means that she had made the corresponding preparations.
Moreover... she believed that with Li Chenxu around, such a thing would never happen.
So on that very day, Mu Xiaoyu signed a contract with the comic book company.
The matter that had been troubling and causing her hesitation was finally resolved, and Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief as she left the comic book club. Standing at the foot of the office building, she turned around and glanced one last time at the floor where SQ was located.
For some reason, she had a feeling that this decision would change the course of her future career...
When Mu Xiaoyu left SQ, it was almost lunchtime and she was about to finish her workday. She originally planned to go home for lunch, but she received a call from Li Chenxu on the way, so she drove to Li Chenxu's company instead.
There weren't many people on duty at lunchtime, but based on what happened when Mu Xiaoyu went to the company last time, everyone in the company knew how important Mu Xiaoyu was to Li Chenxu.
So this time, the receptionist who greeted Mu Xiaoyu was extremely respectful, her attitude being many times better than the previous receptionists. Mu Xiaoyu wasn't a vain woman, but the thought that it was because the person she liked was protecting her so unconditionally made her feel incredibly sweet inside.
Mu Xiaoyu was in a good mood today, so she quickly said before the receptionists who wanted to escort her upstairs, "You don't need to escort me up, I can go up by myself."
Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, the receptionist visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Xiaoyu noticed this and wanted to laugh, but didn't show it. It wasn't until they were in Li Chenxu's office, and he was holding her in his arms, that she couldn't help but laugh and say, "You have no idea how afraid your company's employees are of me now. Tell me... in their eyes, am I a femme fatale?"
"Beauty is a curse?"
Li Chenxu was amused by Mu Xiaoyu's words, but looking at the seriousness on Mu Xiaoyu's face, he found it incredibly cute and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek before saying, "No matter what others think, we just need to live our own lives well."
Mu Xiaoyu agreed, so she hummed twice and stopped talking about the topic.
Li Chenxu still had some documents to process, so Mu Xiaoyu didn't disturb him. After Li Chenxu finished his work, the two left the office to go out for lunch.
Mu Xiaoyu likes to eat, but she doesn't want to gain weight from eating. Li Chenxu has always been aware of Mu Xiaoyu's strictness towards herself in this regard, but he doesn't want Mu Xiaoyu to suffer any 'grievances' when it comes to food.
So in the end, Li Chenxu drove to a restaurant that was quite far from the company. Li Chenxu used to go to this restaurant often. Mu Xiaoyu liked to eat shrimp dumplings, and this restaurant made the shrimp dumplings very well. The other dishes were not too salty or oily, which was also suitable for Mu Xiaoyu to eat now.
The two sat down in a corner of the restaurant. Their seats were inconspicuous, yet offered a good view of most of the restaurant.
Perhaps due to her profession, Mu Xiaoyu enjoys observing passersby in her spare time.
So after she sat down, her gaze remained fixed on the other people in the restaurant. She was just casually looking around, but little did she know that this glance would reveal a problem.
Mu Xiaoyu quickly tugged at Li Chenxu, who was ordering food, and pointed to a certain spot in the restaurant, saying, "Chenxu! Look, isn't that Chen Lan... and Chen Hao over there?"
They were not far from Chen Lan and Chen Hao, and fearing to attract their attention, Mu Xiaoyu lowered her voice when she spoke.
To Mu Xiaoyu's surprise, Li Chenxu wasn't surprised at all to see Chen Lan and Chen Hao together. He even nodded and said, "It should be the two of them. I was planning to tell you later, but since you've seen them, I'll just tell you now..."
At this point, Li Chenxu turned to look at Mu Xiaoyu. After seeing the surprised look in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, he continued unhurriedly, "Didn't you ask me to investigate Chen Lan a few days ago? Well, I did find some problems. This Chen Lan and Chen Hao are half-siblings. The reason Chen Lan was able to get into your current magazine right after graduation is because of Chen Hao."
Li Chenxu stopped there, but Mu Xiaoyu didn't miss the fleeting glint of malice in his eyes. There was definitely something else Li Chenxu hadn't said.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but look in the direction of Chen Lan and the others. Chen Hao was wearing a hat and sunglasses, dressed very well. If she hadn't spent almost a year with Chen Hao, Mu Xiaoyu wouldn't have recognized him at all.
Now that Chen Hao has fallen to such a state, he is almost universally hated, and even going out would be an extremely difficult thing for him.
It was unclear what Chen Hao and Chen Lan were talking about, but it was obvious that Chen Lan's expression was not good. Her gloomy face was completely different from the obedient girl she had been in front of Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu felt a little uncomfortable. She had long known that one cannot judge a book by its cover, but when she thought about how Chen Lan had put on airs in front of her, and how good she had been to Chen Lan, it was as if she were seeing the scene of Wu Qianru and Chen Lan together in the past. She felt uncomfortable and upset.
She didn't want to look anymore, so she withdrew her gaze from Chen Lan and the others, and looked at Li Chenxu, asking, "Chenxu, tell me the truth, is there anything else you haven't told me?"
Li Chenxu did not answer Mu Xiaoyu immediately, but asked, "Xiaoyu, think about it carefully. During the almost one year that Chen Lan was in charge of you, was Chen Hao aware of every single thing you did?"
Mu Xiaoyu was taken aback upon hearing this. She frowned, recalling that Chen Hao always seemed to know about her immediately after each meeting with Chen Lan. More importantly... she spent eighty percent of her time meeting Chen Lan at home.
She used to think that Chen Lan was also a woman, and since it was at home, there was no need to be so reserved. So, most of the time when she was in front of Chen Lan, she dressed rather casually...
