Chapter 120
Su Ziyue was behind Gu Hanyan when the two of them came out from the office. They were standing at the same
spot, one in front while the other behind.
Gu Hanyan did not turn around when she blurted out those words. She had only stopped in her tracks before talking
in a stone-cold manner. Her voice was merely loud enough for Su Ziyue to clearly hear her.
The moment she finished talking, she began to walk away again.
Su Ziyue let out a silent snort. So what if she was an international movie star? She still had a vulgar manner of
speech.
Gu Hanyan noticed that Su Ziyue still did not say anything after walking for quite some distance. “Is there nothing
you want to say?” Gu Hanyan turned around to look at her.
“What have I got to say?” Su Ziyue raised her gaze. “First of all, you’re neither Qin Muchen’s parents nor his elder
relatives. Secondly, who are you to judge whether I deserve him or not?” Su Ziyue answered in an indolent manner
while putting on a cold look.
A woman who liked to criticize other people’s matters was certainly annoying.
“You…” Gu Hanyan did not expect Su Ziyue to act in such a calm manner.
She then took a deep breath and told herself to calm down. She was still in the Su Group, so anyone would pass by
anytime. Hence, she had to maintain her good image.
“The greatest feature about you, little girl, is that you don’t know your own place, and yet you still have a sharp
tongue.” Gu Hanyan gently flicked her hair and slightly raised her head, exuding a sense of gorgeousness without
herself realizing it.
Su Ziyue took two steps backward. She had only taken a glance at her for merely one second before she said, “As
someone who has been there, even if you have a lot of experience that sounds righteous, but that’s it. It’s not very
useful.”
Su Ziyue showed Gu Hanyan what she was capable of with her mouth, since she was said to have a sharp tongue.
Gu Hanyan looked Su Ziyue up and down as though she was looking at a rare species.
Su Ziyue was generous enough to let her be. Presumably someone like Gu Hanyan, an international movie star with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇta great background and someone who had seen much of life, had never seen someone as shameless and
merciless as Su Ziyue.
Gu Hanyan raised her brow as she let out a smile after she was done sweeping looks at her. Her movements were
charming; if it was some other woman instead, it would have seemed rather unsightly to the eyes.
“You’re really confident. However, for two people to be together, their opinions alone are not enough. Humans are
social animals after all. Most of the time, we have no choice but to care about the others’ opinions.” Gu Hanyan
sounded too profound to be understood all of a sudden. “Although I have no idea what Qin Muchen likes about you,
but…”
She did not finish the sentence. Instead, she took a glance at Su Ziyue before she turned around and left.
Su Ziyue stared at her back for a few seconds before she turned around to return to her office.
She picked up the documents in front of her after she sat down then fiercely slammed it on the table. She seemed
like she was venting her anger.
How could she possibly not feel mad?
The life between her and Qin Muchen was great until a gorgeous-looking woman suddenly showed up. Other than
criticizing the matters between Qin Muchen and her, she even tried to act condescending, as if she had already
known something that Si Ziyue didn’t.
At that moment, Su Ziyue’s phone on the table rang.
She grabbed it over to take a look at it. Apparently, it was a text message from Qin Muchen. ‘What do you want for
lunch?’
Su Ziyue then took a glance at the time. It was only ten thirty. It was not time for lunch yet, but it was not early
either.
Are you not busy today? Why are you so free to text me?
Even though Su Ziyue was having this thought in her mind, she still texted him back in the end.
However, Qin Muchen did not reply to her text message after she had sent over her message.
He had only wanted to ask me what I wanted for lunch?
Su Ziyue put her phone aside and started focusing on her work.
At noon, Su Ziyue and An Xia were both exiting the company’s main entrance when they happened to run into Qin
Muchen who had just gotten out of his car.
An Xia first greeted Qin Muchen like a primary school student who was well behaved. “Mr. Qin,” greeted An Xia as
she lowered her head.
“Miss An.” Qin Muchen slightly leaned his head down before he turned to the side to look at Su Ziyue. “I’ve reserved
our seats.”
After he was done talking to Su Ziyue, he then turned his head back to look at An Xia. “Miss An, you should come
along as well.”
“Uh… There’s no need for that. I can eat on my own. I’ll feel more at ease having lunch alone…” An Xia self-
consciously shook her head while waving her hand to decline his invitation. Nonetheless, Su Ziyue had convinced
her to go along in the end.
Su Ziyue and An Xia would both have lunch together every day. She could not let her eat alone just because Qin
Muchen had come over.
Moreover, the both of them met every day, so it was unnecessary to spend their lunch time with only the two of
them.
After that, Qin Muchen had received a call from Bai Jingshu when everyone had just taken their seats.
Qin Muchen then took out his phone to take a look before the call was hung up.
Su Ziyue, who was sitting beside him, saw Bai Jingshu’s name being displayed on the screen of his phone. She
doubtfully asked him, “Why aren't you answering Bai Jingshu’s call?”
Qin Muchen’s excuse was irrefutable. “I don’t like to be bothered while I’m having my meal.”
It sure was an upright excuse.
Nonetheless, despite having said that, Qin Muchen still accepted two phone calls from his secretary while he was
having his meal.
Su Ziyue had suddenly realized something.
Apparently, Qin Muchen was worried that Bai Jingshu would come over, or to be more exact, he was worried that
Bai Jingshu would bring Gu Hanyan over.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA man who knew how to keep his distance was a great man.
Even though Gu Hanyan had always put on a look that suggested she was going to judge the relationship between
her and Qin Muchen, Qin Muchen had never given Gu Hanyan the chance to do so.
Since Qin Muchen had known how to keep distance, Su Ziyue did not have any intentions of telling him that Gu
Hanyan had accepted the endorsement collaboration with Su Group.
The reason was simple—if she mentioned Gu Hanyan in front of Qin Muchen, wouldn’t she simply be leaving a
deeper impression of Gu Hanyan in him?
Moreover, she would be looked down by her opponent. Gu Hanyan would probably think that Su Ziyue was just a
young mistress who only knew how to fool around.
For the next two days, Su Ziyue was busy with the collaboration on the endorsement of the application. She had
been working overtime for a few days.
This application was the most favored by youngsters. Most of the participants were current users of the application.
Therefore, they were all enthusiastic about the project. Nevertheless, there was still one more reason that Su Ziyue
was unwilling to acknowledge, which was due to Gu Hanyan’s presence.
Once the related matters were close to deal, that would be the time for Gu Hanyan to take part.
Even though Su Ziyue barely liked working with Gu Hanyan, it was unavoidable.
“Ziyue, they’ve called. Gu Hanyan has arrived and they want us to send over a person-in-charge.”
An Xia pushed open the door as she placed a cup of coffee onto Su Ziyue’s desk while mentioning the matter.
“Alright. I got it.” Su Ziyue nodded.
It was all meant to be. It was already Friday, so the collaboration on the application would be official once
everything here with Gu Hanyan was settled. It would only need the finishing touches, which had left Su Ziyue fully
occupied recently.
She packed her belongings before heading to the studio alongside An Xia.
Fortunately, she had driven her car here back from her apartment on the previous day. Otherwise, it would have
been inconvenient for her to get anywhere.
The shoot had already begun when Su Ziyue and An Xia arrived at the studio.
She then took a look at the time. If everything went well, she would be able to get off work early. Then, she would
be able to get a good night's sleep when she got home.
However, the most important thing was that the shoot had to proceed without a hitch.
