Gu Chenye looked back in confusion and saw Mu Yunyao stumbling into the coffee shop in a dishevel. Her previous arrogance and refinement were all gone, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were messy, and one of her heels was broken.

But she didn't seem to be coming for him, because after seeing him, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and then quickly tidied her clothes and hair.

Mu Yunyao walked very steadily, not affected by the broken heel at all.

"Chen Ye," she raised her head slightly, trying to maintain her dignity as the daughter of the Mu family: "For Yan Ji, have you even disregarded the friendship between our two families?"

She asked many people for help today, many of whom had received favors from her parents, but without exception they all avoided her. She truly witnessed the saying "when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter".

Mu Yunyao knew that she should speak softly at this time and beg him to save her father, but facing Gu Chenye, she couldn't utter a single word of those pleading words.

In her heart, this man should love her unconditionally.

Mu Yunyao complained, "My dad treated you so well, and you just watched him get framed by that crazy woman?"

Gu Chenye frowned: "Yan Ji is not that capable of turning black into white in front of the disciplinary inspection. If uncle really did not do anything illegal, he will only be wronged for a few days."

"He is so old and in poor health. What if something happens to him in the detention center..." Mu Yunyao felt guilty. Although she was not clear about her father's affairs in the officialdom, she knew that with his salary and bonus, he could not afford her high consumption.

Any one of her expensive dresses and luxury items would be worth several months' salary to him.

Mu Yunyao was a little excited. After realizing that everyone was looking at her, she softened her attitude and begged in a low voice, "Chen Ye, please help my dad. Just say that we are an engaged couple and that all the money he has is from you. No one can interfere if a son-in-law is filial to his father-in-law."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and a paranoid madness flashed through her overly bright eyes.

As for what she thought was a good idea, Gu Chenye just said "sorry" coldly: "I have no plans to cheat for the time being."

"You really think of her as your wife?" Mu Yunyao almost laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. "Gu Chenye, she married you just to use you. If I'm right, she has already disappeared."

The man was already in a bad mood, and after Mu Yunyao's disturbance, he didn't even have the mood to drink coffee with Bo Jingzhou. He simply said hello and turned away.

On the way back, he received a call from Gu's father: "What do you think about the Mu family's affairs?"

"I won't watch it much. Let's wait for the higher-ups to investigate." He showed no interest.

"Don't get involved in this matter."

"Ah."

"Mu Yunyao came to see you?"

“I just happened to run into it.”

Father Gu did not ask any more questions: "This matter is not simple, just be careful about the degree."

Mother Gu said, "Yun Yao is a very pitiful child. If you can help her, please do so. Those things have nothing to do with a little girl like her."

"What about when she bullies people?"

"..." Mother Mu fell silent. She had heard about the grudge between Yan Ji and Mu Yunyao some time ago. The child was always well-behaved in front of her, but she didn't expect him to be so domineering behind her back.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chenye glanced at his phone irritably. As expected, there was no message from Yan Ji. He sneered and was about to throw the phone away, but after a pause he took it back.

He opened the address book, found Yan Ji's number and dialed it.

"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off..."

"..."

The news of the Mu family's accident caused quite a stir in the circle. For a time, all the people who had business dealings with their family were trembling, fearing that this gust of wind would blow upon them. Mu Yunyao used to be arrogant and had offended many people. Now that she had lost her power, her life was extremely difficult and any garbage could step on her head.

That day, she had just come out of the club and was vomiting while leaning against the wall. Because of her father's affairs, she had been attending drinking parties almost every night during this period, and getting drunk was a common occurrence.

He had already vomited out all the food upstairs, and all he could vomit out now was some stomach acid, and his face was covered with physiological tears.

Behind her, several drunken men came out with their arms around each other. Seeing the graceful and exquisitely dressed Mu Yunyao, they instantly became interested: "Sister, how much is it per night?"

He put his hand on her shoulder.

Mu Yunyao was shaken a few times by his staggering steps. Although she was out of power, she was not a soft persimmon that anyone could step on. She raised her hand and slapped the man hard in the face. This slap brought out her grievances and anger over the past few days, as well as her resentment towards Yan Ji, and almost made the man deaf in his left ear.

"Snapped……"

The man immediately returned the insult. Being drunk and having lost face in front of his friends, he was like an angry lion. "You stinky bitch, who do you think you are? It's your blessing that I like you, fuck..."

Mu Yunyao fell to the ground after being slapped by him, with the dirty stuff she had just vomited on her body. The man felt still unsatisfied, so he kicked her all over, insulting her with foul language while kicking her.

The woman was powerless to resist and could only curl up and hug her head.

The noise here quickly alarmed the club's security, and the man's violence was stopped. Someone came to help her, and someone called the police and an ambulance: "Miss, can you still stand up? Where are you injured?"

Mu Yunyao's head was dizzy, and the severe pain all over her body made her sober up a little. Through the dim light in the corner of her eyes, she seemed to see a figure standing not far away.

She turned her head subconsciously——

Once I saw it, I couldn't move my eyes away.

In the dazzling light and shadow, Yan Ji stood there quietly, looking at this side calmly. It seemed that she had been standing there for a long time, so long that she blended into the surrounding environment. She was wearing a red dress, and the lights and dust were dancing on her body, like a silent and warm celebration.

At this moment, time seemed to have gone back to ten years ago. She was also standing not far away, watching Yan Ji being pinned to the ground and bullied like a show.

"Yan Ji..."

Mu Yunyao gritted her teeth and called out the name. She had never taken her seriously before. She thought she was an inferior person and a bumpkin from the countryside. Even if she had a face that could confuse everyone, she was just an ant that could be bullied and manipulated by others. But she didn't expect that such a lowly existence would hurt her so badly.

The severe pain in her body seemed to disappear at this moment. She waved away the security guard who was holding her and rushed towards Yan Ji: "Didn't you go abroad? Why are you here?"

At this moment, in addition to resentment and anger, she also had some hidden panic. If Yan Ji was still in Kyoto, then Gu Chenye...
