Xu Mu looked at Zhao Yingying's nervous appearance and asked with a smile: "Can you do anything?"

"Mn."

Zhao Yingying clenched her fists, her entire body trembling.

She was a college student now; what didn't she know?

No one would help her for no reason. The moment she sent a message to Xu Mu, she had already prepared for the worst.

"I want you to... master controllable nuclear fusion and serve the country. Can you do that?"

Xu Mu looked at Zhao Yingying and asked.

"Ah?"

Zhao Yingying was dumbfounded on the spot.

However, thanks to Xu Mu's words, she relaxed a little bit. "Brother Mu, you really know how to joke."

"I don't need you to do anything. Like I said just now, I'm helping you because I think you're a good person."

Xu Mu stroked Yingying's head. "Just pay back the money in the future."

【Favorability + 30】

"Brother Mu, I'll feel bad this way. Let me do something for you." Yingying's eyes turned red.

"What can you do for me?" Xu Mu asked.

"I... I can..."

Yingying took a deep breath. She realized that for someone like her, aside from her own body, she really had nothing else to repay Xu Mu with.

Xu Mu took Yingying by the hand and led her to a deserted place. "Do you think I'm helping you because I want to get you?"

Yingying was stunned for a moment, then gently nodded.

She truly couldn't think of any other reason why Xu Mu would help her besides this matter.

"Yingying, you underestimate me too much."

Xu Mu said calmly, "If I wanted to play with a woman like you, I wouldn't need to shell out 150,000."

Hearing this, Yingying was instantly stunned.

That was true. Although she didn't know what Xu Mu's family did, they were definitely wealthy.

With a wave of his hand, countless women would flock to him.

Furthermore, she wasn't an exceptionally outstanding person herself.

If she were a big star or came from a very wealthy family, she wouldn't care about this 150,000 either.

"Brother Mu, I'm sorry, I was too vulgar."

Yingying was full of apology.

【Favorability + 20】

"Hurry over to your mother's place. I have things to do, so I'm leaving first."

Xu Mu waved at Yingying and turned to leave.

Earning another eight or nine hundred Justice Points this trip meant it wasn't in vain.

Added to what he had before, he could do another ten-draw.

Xu Mu glanced at the time. It was already noon, so he decided to return to the company first and have a meal with Meng Wanyue.

Then he would send a message to Ye Tong in advance, telling her to get ready to go to the Xu Family Manor tonight.

Just as Xu Mu was about to drive back, he noticed his phone vibrating.

He took a look; it was a call from Feng Yue.

Xu Mu sneered inwardly. In last night's recording, Lin Yang had made things very clear.

Feng Yue was his person, and last time Feng Yue took the initiative to invite him, it must have been a trap.

But Xu Mu didn't fall for it.

Then this time, she probably wanted to continue.

Xu Mu answered the phone, wanting to hear what tricks she was trying to pull.

"Young Master Xu, do you have time during the lunch hour? I know you're quite busy right now, so I wouldn't dare disturb you at night."

Feng Yue's voice came from the phone, her tone still seductive, "I'll wait for you at the bar."

"Just tell me straight what this is about."

Xu Mu said indifferently, "I'm very busy at noon too."

"There are many things that can't be made clear over the phone."

Feng Yue said over there.

"Then we'll talk when we have time to meet face-to-face."

After saying that, Xu Mu hung up the phone. Did she really think she was somebody?

One was a small bar owner, and the other was the Young Master of Jiang City's top conglomerate.

What nerve did she have to make him take the initiative to find her?

Did she really think he was still that villain Xu Mu from the past, her simpering lapdog?

Who would come running eagerly at a single shout?

On the other end, Feng Yue looked at the hung-up phone and fell into deep thought.

Ye Yu was very busy and hadn't studied properly all day.

Because she cared a lot about Lu Xueyao's situation.

Today at noon, she took the initiative to come to the entrance of Class 2 and wait for Lu Xueyao.

She decided to probe around again. If she confirmed that Xu Mu really kept a woman outside, she would definitely report him when she went home tonight.

Seeing Lu Xueyao appear, Ye Yu immediately went up to her.

Only then did she discover that Lu Xueyao's hair had turned black again.

"Lu Xueyao, do you have time at noon?"

Ye Yu took the initiative to ask.

Lu Xueyao looked at Ye Yu. When she went back yesterday, she had thought about it for a long time, and she happened to have something to discuss with Ye Yu as well.

She gently nodded.

"Let's go to the cafeteria to eat," Ye Yu said.

"Okay."

Lu Xueyao agreed with a sound.

The two of them headed to the school cafeteria together and arrived at the second floor.

Ye Yu ordered a small portion of beef noodles, while Lu Xueyao ordered tomato and egg rice bowl.

They sat facing each other at a window-side seat.

Ye Yu didn't eat right away; instead, she was thinking about her wording. Then she decided to ease into it and didn't go straight to the point: "I remember your hair was still yellow yesterday. How did it turn black now?"

"Brother Mu doesn't like it, so I dyed it back." Lu Xueyao replied.

"Did he talk to you yesterday?"

Ye Yu furrowed her willow-like brows.

This Xu Mu was simply hateful. It wasn't like he didn't have her contact info, yet he didn't even know to take the initiative to say a word to her.

"No, but I can guess that Brother Mu wouldn't like how I was before."

As she spoke, Lu Xueyao lowered her head and took a bite of rice.

Ye Yu decided to stop pretending. The other person kept bringing up Brother Mu left and right, clearly not taking her, the "fiancée," seriously at all.

She had explicitly told Lu Xueyao that Xu Mu had a partner, yet she still hadn't given up.

"I think you might have forgotten one thing: Xu Mu has a fiancée, and they are already engaged."

Ye Yu reminded her.

"I know, but being engaged isn't being married. I thought about it all night, and I won't give up on Brother Mu!"

Lu Xueyao continued eating with her head down.

"Damn it..."

Ye Yu was completely speechless. What was so good about that bastard Xu Mu?

Looking at this, it wasn't Xu Mu who seduced Lu Xueyao, but rather Lu Xueyao who loved Xu Mu deeply.

Suddenly, Ye Yu's eyes narrowed into slits, and her tone turned cold: "I think you don't like Xu Mu; you like his money, right?"

Although Ye Yu didn't want to admit it, Xu Mu was indeed tall and handsome, and crucially, he had money.

Cruising around in a sports car all day had too much lethal appeal for a young woman who had just turned adult like Lu Xueyao.

Hearing this, Lu Xueyao gave Ye Yu a cold look: "You don't understand our relationship at all. He saved my life! He gave me a second life!"

She had never cared whether Xu Mu was wealthy or not; even if he were a pauper, Lu Xueyao would feel the exact same way.

"Fine, I won't pretend anymore. Actually, I'm not his fiancée."

Ye Yu paused, looked at Lu Xueyao, and said, "He is my brother-in-law. Yes, you heard that right, Xu Mu is already married."

She hadn't told the truth earlier just to test the waters.

Now she had reached the conclusion that it wasn't Xu Mu keeping her, but rather that Lu Xueyao had favorable feelings toward Xu Mu.

Then naturally there was no need to lie to her anymore.

"What? Brother Mu is married?"

Lu Xueyao's eyes widened completely round.

"That's right. If you don't believe me, let's add each other as friends, and tonight when I get home, I'll send their marriage certificate to you."

Ye Yu said indifferently, "Stay away from him in the future and don't ruin the relationship between him and my sister."

Lu Xueyao ate her rice; she truly hadn't thought of this point.

Ye Yu also began eating her own beef noodles. It looked like the matter was over.

"Unless Brother Mu tells me to leave, I won't leave him." Lu Xueyao suddenly said.

"Pfft!"

Ye Yu's noodles directly spewed out.

She took out a tissue, wiped her mouth, and said, "Big sister, what are you thinking? Are you bound and determined to be the other woman?"

"As long as Brother Mu agrees, I don't care if I'm number five or number six." Lu Xueyao said calmly.

Ye Yu was completely speechless. She suddenly said: "Let me tell you a secret: Xu Mu is a very bad person with violent tendencies, and he beats me and my sister all the time."

"Then hurry up and get a divorce, let Brother Mu hit me, I'm willing to let him hit me."

Lu Xueyao looked at Ye Yu.

"Damn it!"

Ye Yu was covered in black lines, speechless, and could only give Lu Xueyao a thumbs-up.
