Chapter 74: Majestic and Dominant!

Wan Yu immediately frowned. Why was this little girl so clueless? What was so good about Fu Siyue? Since they were already divorced, she should be looking for someone new. Lu Sinian was in no way inferior to Fu Siyue; in fact, he was much warmer than Fu Siyue, yet Mu Yinyin seemed completely unmoved.

Just as Wan Yu was about to say something else, Mu Yinyin caught her intent at once, her gaze falling on Wan Yu with a clear warning in her eyes.

Wan Yu opened her mouth, then sighed helplessly and closed it again. She knew that if she said another word, her little tyrant would definitely be displeased.

Sighing inwardly, Wan Yu had no choice but to remain silent.

Mu Yinyin glanced around at everyone, her expression calm as she spoke. “Go on, all of you. Get back to your work. I’ll rest better that way.”

Wan Yu sighed helplessly. “Fine, fine, we’ll all go. But for now, let President Lu stay with you until your assistant arrives, and then he’ll leave.”

Lu Sinian shot Wan Yu a deep look, saying nothing, but there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes. Wan Yu arched her brows at him, as if to say, “With me here, rest assured—she’ll be yours.”

The air suddenly grew quiet. Lu Sinian sat obediently in his chair, making no move to leave.

Gu Xiaoqi and the others, though resigned, could only follow the current arrangements. After glancing at Mu Yinyin a few times, Gu Xiaoqi spoke softly, “We’re going now. If you need anything, call me immediately.”

“All right,” Mu Yinyin replied obediently.

Wan Yu’s smile deepened, but when she turned to look at Nan Shiqing and her daughter, her face darkened instantly. In a cold voice, she said, “You two must be quite busy too, right? The company still has plenty of collaborations to discuss. So why not stop lingering here and disturbing Yinyin?”

Nan Shiqing’s expression stiffened slightly, for she heard how Wan Yu deliberately emphasized the word “collaborations,” and her anger flared uncontrollably.

Everyone knew that ever since Mu Yinyin suddenly became the head of the Star Group, she’d begun turning her back on her own family. In front of everyone, she forbade any cooperation with the Mu family, so now all the partners were watching and waiting—who would dare approach the Mu family to discuss business? Many employees at the Mu family’s company had nothing to do. Nan Shiqing was furious—Wan Yu was truly too much!

Clenching her teeth, Nan Shiqing thought to herself, “No wonder she’s Mu Yinyin’s friend—none of them are decent!”

But she dared not say any of this aloud, and in any case, she had no desire to linger another minute.

Nan Shiqing took a breath and shook her head helplessly. No matter what, she still had to put on an act in front of Fu Siyue. She raised her hand to wipe away the two tears she’d just squeezed out, then spoke in a sorrowful voice, “Sister, since you don’t want to see me now, I won’t disturb you. I’ll come visit tomorrow. I hope you can be discharged soon—I believe you’ll be just fine.”

Mu Yinyin glanced coolly at the mother and daughter. Seeing He Xia was about to speak as well, she lost all patience and said in a low voice, “You should all go. I’m truly tired.”

Ever since regaining consciousness, Mu Yinyin knew precisely who was worth her patience and who was not. For those who weren’t, she had no reason to waste even a sliver of it—they simply weren’t worthy.

He Xia: “…”

Nan Shiqing: “…”

That wretched woman! One day, Mu Yinyin would understand the price of today’s humiliation—Nan Shiqing would make her pay it back double. No mercy.

The mother and daughter had clearly run out of patience too; Nan Shiqing spoke first, feigning disappointment and innocence. “In that case, we won’t disturb your rest.”

Wan Yu raised an eyebrow at this. Not bad—at least they weren’t completely insensible. She then turned her gaze to Fu Siyue, who had been sitting silently in his chair, her eyes thoughtful.

“President Fu, aren’t you planning to leave? Doesn’t the company need you today?”

Only then did Fu Siyue look at Wan Yu, his sharp gaze making her hesitate to meet his eyes.

Gu Xiaoqi and the others hadn’t left yet; they were waiting for the outsiders to go first.

Everyone looked at Fu Siyue, their eyes full of curiosity and scrutiny.

Mu Yinyin was among them. She still couldn’t understand why Fu Siyue would come today—no, last night, in fact. Even more bizarre was that he’d stayed here all night. If it weren’t for the others’ testimony, Mu Yinyin would never have believed it—Fu Siyue watching over Nan Shiqing would make sense, but watching over her? Impossible.

Oh, wait.

Mu Yinyin suddenly remembered: perhaps Fu Siyue wasn’t here for her at all, but for his savior, Nan Shiqing. After all, Nan Shiqing would surely stay for appearances’ sake. Given her poor health, Fu Siyue might worry and want to be here to get updates on her condition as soon as possible.

Yes, clearly she’d been overthinking it. There was no need to dwell on it. She smiled faintly to herself.

Her quiet laugh drew everyone’s attention.

Mu Yinyin lifted her gaze and looked at Nan Shiqing, the mocking curve of her lips unmistakable. “Nan Shiqing, you should leave. If you don’t, Fu Siyue won’t go either. After all, he stayed here all night out of concern for you. So please, do me a favor and leave—don’t be an eyesore.”

Lu Sinian raised his brows but said nothing.

Nan Shiqing’s eyes grew complicated. She was secretly delighted at Mu Yinyin’s misunderstanding, but also stole a nervous glance at Fu Siyue.

As expected, Fu Siyue’s expression was even darker, as if a storm was about to break.

Nan Shiqing drew a shaky breath and looked back at Mu Yinyin. “It’s not like that, sister, please don’t misunderstand…” she pleaded, shaking her head with genuine emotion.

She’d already said she was leaving, and yet she still hadn’t moved.

Mu Yinyin’s patience was completely gone. She repeated coldly, “Go. Can you?”

Wan Yu had had enough as well. She turned to the mother and daughter, her displeasure evident. “You’re really not welcome here—can’t you tell? Do you have to wait for me to curse you out before you’ll leave? Yinyin’s temper is good, but mine isn’t. Are you going or not?”

Gu Xiaoqi’s eyes shone with admiration—Sister Wan was so fierce! So impressive!

He Xia’s face turned grim at being spoken to so harshly by someone younger. She frowned and replied stiffly, “We came to visit Yinyin. There’s no need to be so aggressive. Since Yinyin doesn’t want us here, we won’t stay where we’re not wanted. We’re leaving.”
