Mu Yinyin gave a cold laugh, "If you don't believe me, then don't ask me or question me anymore. If I simply listen to your criticism and say nothing, do you think that's interesting? Similarly, if I retort to you, you think I'm sharp-tongued, and what's the point of that?"
"You..." Fu Siye was momentarily speechless.
Mu Yinyin sneered again, "So, in the future, don't waste each other's time on these futile efforts. Fu Siye, don't call me again, or I'll truly think you're pathetic. You didn't cherish me when we were together, and now you're harassing me every few days. Don't blame me for being narcissistic, blame your excessive behavior."
With that, Mu Yinyin directly hung up the phone.
To prevent Fu Siye from calling again, Mu Yinyin pressed the power button.
Fu Siye heard the "beeping" busy signal, his expression soured beyond measure. Especially with the sinister aura radiating from him, he looked like an Asura who had just emerged from hell.
How dare Mu Yinyin hang up his call!
Nan Shiqing, standing nearby, had overheard most of what Mu Yinyin said.
Her eyes were filled with intense jealousy. Was Mu Yinyin using these tactics to attract Siye now?
That damned bitch!
She took a shallow breath, daring not to think too much. She quickly looked at Fu Siye and said coquettishly, "Siye, Sister is angry right now and definitely won't be willing to listen to anything. Sister dislikes me anyway. As the saying goes, a day as husband and wife builds a hundred days of kindness. Please don't have a falling out with Sister because of me, otherwise, I'll truly become a sinner for eternity."
Nan Shiqing lowered her head, feigning guilt.
Looking at Nan Shiqing, Fu Siye, for some reason, couldn't help but think of Mu Yinyin.
Mu Yinyin would never have such a side to her.
After a pause, he spoke in a deep voice, "These are not things you should be concerned about. You should get some rest first. I'll have someone follow up with your mother. I'll call you when the results are out." Saying that, Fu Siye managed to control his emotions and tucked the corner of the blanket for Nan Shiqing.
Nan Shiqing pursed her lips, a thorn seemingly stuck in her throat. She shook her head, "How can I possibly sleep now? Siye, what did Sister say to you on the phone?"
Nan Shiqing already knew about Fu Siye and Mu Yinyin's phone call, even if Fu Siye didn't say anything.
However, she was deliberately pretending to ask, for Fu Siye's benefit.
Fu Siye's thin lips curved slightly. He didn't want to mention Mu Yinyin at all.
"I told you, these are not things you should be concerned about. You rest well first, I'm going to make a call." After speaking, Fu Siye got up and left.
Nan Shiqing opened her lips, but said nothing. She knew that whatever she said now would displease Fu Siye. His attention had already been captured by Mu Yinyin's words.
However, as she watched Fu Siye's retreating back, she was determined to have him.
Mu Yinyin, ha... she couldn't make Fu Siye fall for her in three years, and now that they were divorced, she was even less deserving! Sooner or later, Fu Siye would be hers, Nan Shiqing's!
...
Mu Yinyin was now sitting in the back seat of Qi Mo's luxury car.
After hanging up Fu Siye's call, Mu Yinyin's chest heaved. Fu Siye had angered her considerably, but after a short while, she realized the problem.
The car had stopped at her villa's entrance. It had already arrived, and in the time it took her to take a phone call, she had forgotten to get out.
Qi Mo seemed not to have heard anything, only chuckled lightly and said, "Finished?"
Mu Yinyin's gaze paused, then she quickly composed herself and looked at the man, speaking slowly, "I'll give you that design draft as soon as possible. If you have a deadline, then give it to me."
Qi Mo let out a light laugh, "If you can give it, why would I need a deadline?"
Knowing that she was in a bad mood, Qi Mo didn't say anything further. However, as she got out of the car, he offered some advice, "Only when you're in a good state can you work efficiently. I'll be waiting for your revised design draft."
Mu Yinyin nodded, not saying anything else.
However, less than five minutes after arriving home, her doorbell rang.
Her first instinct was Qi Mo.
But she saw Jiang Ling through the peephole.
Jiang Ling's appearance at this particular time made Mu Yinyin open the door with confusion, "Brother Jiang, why are you here?"
Jiang Ling immediately assessed her. Seeing that she was unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I originally intended to leave some things for you at the door. Later, when I called you, you didn't answer. As I was driving my car out of the parking lot, I saw Qi Mo's car. I figured he was sending you home, so I came to check."
Mu Yinyin suddenly understood, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes. Brother Jiang was worried about her...
She looked at the man and slowly asked, "What were you going to give me?"
Jiang Ling didn't hide anything, chuckling gently, "A friend brought two boxes of cherries from their hometown. I tasted them, and they were quite good, so I brought them for you. I originally wanted to leave them at the door, but since you weren't here, and now that you are home, please wait for me for a moment, I'll go and carry them for you."
"It's too much trouble for you to go back and forth like this. I'll go with you." With that, Mu Yinyin walked out and then closed the door.
She and Jiang Ling walked into the elevator side by side.
They were both silent, and it was Jiang Ling who finally broke the silence, "You and that Qi Mo..."
Mu Yinyin answered directly, "It's not what you think."
Her relationship with Qi Mo was purely a collaboration.
At this moment, Jiang Ling felt no relief, and instead, a sense of loss.
Even if Mu Yinyin didn't have that kind of relationship with Qi Mo, she could have it with someone else, perhaps even Fu Siye standing before her. And he, he could only stand by her side as a friend.
"I think we can do some public welfare. I want to launch a product using cherries to help farmers first, and then promote it." Jiang Ling proposed his idea to Mu Yinyin.
Mu Yinyin nodded in agreement, "That's great, but first, we need to conduct on-site investigations. I need to taste the texture."
What Jiang Ling recommended was naturally beyond reproach, but she still had to verify it.
"Okay."
Soon, the two of them arrived at the underground parking lot.
Two boxes of cherries were placed in Jiang Ling's trunk, two large full boxes. Jiang Ling picked up a food container with a lid, opened it, and said softly, "These are washed, try them."
Mu Yinyin nodded.
The fruits were red and large. She tried a few, they were juicy, with a perfect balance of sour and sweet.
Considering Jiang Ling's idea, the taste was indeed feasible.
She smiled and said, "Then contact them and set a time for us to go."
Since Li Chuan had to stay by Little Qi's side, the on-site investigation would have to be done by her and Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling immediately responded, "Okay, I'll arrange it."
Jiang Ling helped Mu Yinyin carry the two large boxes of cherries back to her home. Just then, Gu Xiaoqi called for a video chat.
