If Mu Yinyin died in this design competition...
Anyway, she was wearing a mask, and no one knew who Mu Yinyin was now. Moreover, it would serve as a perfect excuse.
Thinking this, Nan Shiqing's eyes showed a trace of ruthlessness and ferocity.
"Si Ye, do you regret divorcing your sister now? I know that after she divorced you, she became very different from before. You were together for so long, and it's understandable that you can't bear to be apart. I don't want to see you in such a difficult situation. You and your sister should live happily together. I'll return to the country after this design competition, and you and your sister can take the opportunity to have a good time in Country E."
Nan Shiqing took a breath. She spoke so much to herself, arranging everything.
Fu Siye was already agitated by thoughts of Mu Yinyin, and now Nan Shiqing brought her up again, his annoyance intensified. "Shiqing, I don't know what you're afraid of. What you did was all wrong. Mu Yinyin and I are divorced, and there's no possibility of remarrying!"
Fu Siye said with finality.
His brows were tightly furrowed, his expression dark and unpleasant. All the food in front of him was swept into the trash.
It looked good, but had no taste at all.
Hearing Fu Siye speak so definitively, Nan Shiqing felt no joy.
He spoke so confidently, but what was the reality each time?
Moreover, his words carried an emotional tone, like anger erupting after a secret was exposed. She knew that Mu Yinyin still affected him over these three years.
"After you divorced my sister... no, I don't want you to divorce my sister, but I truly like you. You promised to marry me, and I've waited for a long time... Besides, my sister is so outstanding now. I feel inferior and I'm afraid you'll look down on me more and more..."
As Nan Shiqing spoke, she began to sob.
If Nan Shiqing were present before Fu Siye, he would have handed her tissues. He couldn't bear to see Nan Shiqing cry in front of him.
But Nan Shiqing, on the other end of the phone, noticed Fu Siye's growing indifference.
If it weren't for the "life-saving grace" he believed he owed her, Fu Siye wouldn't have paid her any attention.
"You need to get your emotions in order. There are still three mini-competitions to go," Fu Siye said, frowning and reminding Nan Shiqing.
The girl wearing the fierce ghost mask flashed in his mind. Her design drafts were so outstanding that they immediately received the examiner's approval. Therefore, Nan Shiqing was afraid of not winning the championship, which was why her emotions were so intense!
"Si Ye, I'm very nervous. That girl wearing the mask is so outstanding, and I'm afraid I'll fail. I even heard some people mocking her then..."
Nan Shiqing spoke slowly, cautiously probing Fu Siye.
She knew it was Mu Yinyin, but she wasn't sure if Fu Siye knew.
Also, by telling Fu Siye in advance, if Mu Yinyin's body was discovered later, it would only be attributed to others' envy and jealousy.
"What does that have to do with you?"
Fu Siye's thin lips curled, his brows furrowing slightly.
That girl gave him a sense of familiarity, but it was only a feeling.
No matter how outstanding she was, it had nothing to do with him or Nan Shiqing.
Fu Siye's sternly uttered words struck Nan Shiqing's heart.
Did he know it was Mu Yinyin?
"I'm scared. I was indeed rash this time and didn't think carefully, but this incident has greatly affected me. Si Ye, don't you understand me yet?" Nan Shiqing choked and threw the question back at Fu Siye.
She wanted to prove herself through this competition, but this girl wearing the fierce ghost mask appeared halfway.
Her excellence had already been recognized by the examiners, as well as the surprise and envy of those around her.
"There are billions of people in the world. Do you think you can compare yourself to all of them?" Fu Siye's casual remark instantly refuted Nan Shiqing.
He hoped Nan Shiqing wouldn't take this competition too seriously.
After all, in a competition of hundreds of people, there would always be someone better.
Hearing this, the soreness in Nan Shiqing's throat became even more pronounced.
"Si Ye, in your eyes, a competition is nothing. But it's very important to me. I can't let myself be criticized by those people anymore. I must prove myself."
She had to hold onto the fame and fortune Mu Yinyin had given her.
"Shiqing, you need to know a saying: haste makes waste."
Fu Siye no longer wanted to talk to her and intended to end the call. "Shiqing, I'm very busy here, so I'll hang up now. The voting ends tomorrow, and I can pick you up."
He even knew about the voting. Fu Siye was so focused on this competition, and he was the one who sent her there. Yet, he could say such hurtful and heartless words now.
Ironically, this kind of him made her unable to extricate herself, loving him yet being unable to have him.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you. But speaking of which, Si Ye, if that masked girl really wins the championship, you can sign her. After all, her ability to pass this design competition organized by Ju Xing is not to be underestimated."
Nan Shiqing pursed her lips and spoke slowly to Fu Siye.
She still didn't forget to probe Fu Siye.
Nan Shiqing's mention instantly brought the fierce ghost mask to Fu Siye's mind.
"I'm not interested in this person, and I've already finalized my cooperation partner," Fu Siye said lightly.
Nan Shiqing immediately understood. He didn't know that Mu Yinyin was participating in disguise, so she could proceed with her plan!
Thinking of this, a cold smile crossed Nan Shiqing's lips.
...
Lying in bed, Mu Yinyin sneezed. As soon as she rubbed her nose, the sneezes came non-stop.
Her health had always been good.
Someone was definitely cursing her behind her back.
She did believe in some metaphysical things.
And at this juncture, besides Nan Shiqing, there would be no one else.
Nan Shiqing wouldn't let herself lose this vote, so she had to find out about the fake information her insider and Nan Shiqing had created.
Thinking this, Mu Yinyin immediately contacted Xiao Lu:
— Mu Yinyin: [I have an important task for you now. I'll send you an IP address later, and you'll help me track it. Especially tomorrow when a lot of data is being manipulated, you must help me preserve the evidence.]
Mu Yinyin had saved Nan Shiqing's computer IP address earlier. However, after she married Fu Siye and Nan Shiqing fell into a coma, she hadn't submitted any design drafts, nor had she submitted any manuscripts to this IP address.
But now, it came in handy!
