"No further issues, I'll hang up now. Get some rest." Without waiting for Mu Yin Yin to say anything, Fu Si Ye snatched the phone and ended the call.
Fu Si Ye shoved the phone into Mu Yin Yin's hand and stared at her coldly, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "Mu Yin Yin, you are truly despicable. Do you still think these little games are fun?"
He had been told Nan Shiqing was not in the ward, but was here.
She made the call first, and for a fleeting moment, his heart had wavered. And the result?
When the call connected, look at the things she was saying!
This was clearly intended to provoke Nan Shiqing!!
Mu Yin Yin calmly replied, "I don't find any of this fun."
Immediately after, Mu Yin Yin flipped through the screenshots of the surveillance footage that Qi Mo had someone send over, and presented them directly to Fu Si Ye.
In the surveillance footage, Nan Shiqing removed her mask while speaking with Lu Shan, allowing Fu Si Ye to see clearly that it was indeed Nan Shiqing in the video!
Therefore, Nan Shiqing had also attended the banquet tonight.
"What does this prove?" Fu Si Ye glanced at it indifferently, then looked away.
He had no interest in Nan Shiqing's private affairs.
However, his calm demeanor caused Mu Yin Yin to raise her eyebrows in surprise. Didn't he care about Nan Shiqing? Now that he saw her face-to-face with another man, wasn't he angry?
Moreover, Nan Shiqing had gone to Country E while hiding it from him, and he was unconcerned?
Or was he merely hiding it from her?
Pausing, Mu Yin Yin looked at the man's placid expression and said, "The man wearing the mask is Lu Shan. He is the son of the Minister of Transport in Country E. I overheard their conversation. I want to know who is behind Lu Shan."
Just as Mu Yin Yin was about to reveal Lu Shan's information, Fu Si Ye had already brushed past her.
Judging by Fu Si Ye's demeanor, he was clearly indifferent.
In his opinion, Nan Shiqing hadn't done anything morally reprehensible; normal social interaction was perfectly fine.
However, thinking of Mu Yin Yin's attitude, Fu Si Ye couldn't contain his anger. He stopped and coldly retorted to Mu Yin Yin, "Who is behind her, and what business is it of yours?"
"If you really want to know, go ask her yourself. There's no need to ask me." Fu Si Ye frowned deeply, his expression gloomy, looking very impatient.
His words immediately choked Mu Yin Yin.
Indeed, if she wanted to know, she should ask the person directly. Fu Si Ye hadn't even paid her any attention before, so why would he cooperate with her based on a few words to test his beloved Nan Shiqing?
She had been reckless.
"Understood, sorry for the disturbance."
Mu Yin Yin turned and walked away.
Fu Si Ye: "..."
Already agitated, he became even more sullen upon hearing Mu Yin Yin's words. Without thinking, he said, "Stop right there. Did I say you could leave?"
Mu Yin Yin frowned slightly. He didn't want her to disturb him, and now he was saying this?
Did he have a problem with his brain?
Mu Yin Yin couldn't be bothered to argue with him, nor did she want to engage in a pointless verbal exchange. She had no intention of stopping.
But…
Before she could take a few steps, a tall figure suddenly blocked her path.
She immediately frowned and looked up at the person in front of her, only to find his face so gloomy it looked like water was about to drip out.
Mu Yin Yin: "???"
She was confused.
Did this man have a screw loose? Or did he want to win an argument and have her apologize to him?
"If you have something to say, say it." Her eyes were filled with impatience.
Blocking her way, if he didn't want her to leave, she naturally couldn't. Moreover, this was a public place, and causing a scene wouldn't be good.
But Fu Si Ye clearly interpreted Mu Yin Yin's words "If you have something to say" as the subsequent three words: "Spit it out."
"Mu Yin Yin!!" he ground out through clenched teeth.
Mu Yin Yin's expression darkened further, "So your meaning is, I'm a dog you've raised. I go when you tell me to go, and I lie down when you tell me to lie down?"
It didn't matter anymore. Why couldn't she leave? Why did she have to follow Fu Si Ye's wishes?
"Why are you so eager to know this?" Fu Si Ye narrowed his eyes, his long and dangerous gaze fixed on Mu Yin Yin.
Things didn't happen without a reason, and Mu Yin Yin's thoughts couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere, on a whim.
"Didn't Nan Shiqing say that she and her mother received my design drafts through an anonymous email? Those attending the Elysian Banquet could choose whether or not to wear masks, but you seem unaware that those wearing masks are the VIPs here."
Mu Yin Yin initially didn't want to argue with Fu Si Ye anymore, but upon careful consideration, Nan Shiqing harbored no small amount of resentment towards her.
With someone like this helping Nan Shiqing, wouldn't she continue to be arrogant?
But judging by the situation, Nan Shiqing had been in contact with this person for a long time.
"Someone you haven't contacted, and Qi Mo hasn't contacted, but Nan Shiqing can easily contact. Have you ever considered why Nan Shiqing can contact such a person?"
"Fu Si Ye, whether this person is doing this because of you, or if they want to use Nan Shiqing to bring others down, shouldn't that be considered?"
Mu Yin Yin pursed her lips and spoke seriously to Fu Si Ye.
Having reached this point, Fu Si Ye should understand.
Even if Fu Si Ye didn't believe Nan Shiqing would turn her blade on her, by bringing this up, Fu Si Ye would, out of his care and concern for Nan Shiqing, cooperate with her to investigate this person behind the scenes.
"What do you want to do?" Fu Si Ye frowned, his voice low and stern with a hint of ruthlessness.
Mu Yin Yin did not avoid his gaze. "Let's cooperate."
"How do you want to cooperate?"
Fu Si Ye was by no means someone who would endlessly question; he wasn't a fool either.
From the moment his eyes turned dark and cold, Mu Yin Yin realized he had understood everything, but he insisted on her admitting it herself.
Mu Yin Yin glared at him with extreme displeasure. "Didn't you promise Nan Shiqing that you would marry her? If she finds out that you have no intention of marrying her and are instead mixed up with me, do you think..."
"Mu Yin Yin, calling you scheming and despicable, and you still don't admit it? You push her into a corner at every turn, yet you demand that she remain a good person. If it were you, could you tolerate it?"
The moment Mu Yin Yin spoke, Fu Si Ye understood, but he hadn't expected Mu Yin Yin to go this far in her confession.
Mu Yin Yin stared at him as if he were an idiot.
She had already made it clear earlier. Fu Si Ye insisted on digging to make her speak, and the result was merely to humiliate her?
