F*ckboy!

The best was yet to come!

Mu Siyin laid down to rest for a while, but when she checked the time, she realized that it was still early.

She then got up and looked up a locksmith service on the internet. She told the company to send someone over at once.

She must change her bedroom door lock as soon as possible.

Old Madam Mu and Mu Heyuan were at the company. Apart from the maids, Li Tongzhi and Mu Xingyu were the only ones left in the house.

When they found out that Mu Siyin had invited an unknown laborer over, Li Tongzhi, who was alone in the living room, felt guilty.

“Mu Siyin! What are you going to do?!”

Without turning around, Mu Siyin led the man upstairs, where she jeered, “That’s none of your business.”

Li Tongzhi held back her fury as she remained seated on the sofa. Various thoughts raced across her mind, and after a while, she heard a series of bangs coming from upstairs.

She immediately got up and ran up the stairs.

When she realized that the laborer was working on Mu Siyin’s door lock, she stood still in shock.

With her arms crossed, Mu Siyin looked at Li Tongzhi and said sarcastically, “My bedroom seems to attract burglars and peeping toms. I feel it’s safer to have the lock changed.”

Li Tongzhi snorted guiltily before she headed downstairs. She was afraid Mu Siyin would bring up the issue about the spycam.

Mu Siyin smirked. She knew that Li Tongzhi was undoubtedly the culprit here.

After the lock was changed, Mu Siyin checked the time again. It was then that she got dressed, applied some make-up, and headed out in peace.

The meeting with Lu Jingchen and President Zhang was rather early, at 6:30 pm.

Lu Jingchen was already waiting at the club, so when Mu Siyin arrived on time, he let out a sigh of relief. “You’re reliable for once.”

Mu Siyin studied her cousin, who was drinking a glass of liquor alone. “What do you mean by ‘for once’? I merely missed your meeting at noon.”

Lu Jingchen raised his eyebrows. “I don’t understand you. Why are you so courteous towards Shi Beiyu when both of you are already together? Why don’t you just ask him?”

Mu Siyin rolled her eyes. “Cuz, can’t you let me enjoy a relationship? I don’t want to get money and personal interests involved.”

Lu Jingchen gave in. “Okay, okay. You can pretend I didn’t say anything. Enjoy your relationship and don’t spend a single cent of Shi Beiyu’s money.”

Mu Siyin sighed. “What’s now is now. We can talk about what comes later in the future…”

Lu Jingchen tutted and shook his head. “Sis, it’s rare to find a kind-hearted and pure girl like you these days.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mu Siyin was speechless.

They chatted for some time, but President Zhang still had not shown up. Finding it strange, Lu Jingchen mumbled as he fiddled with his phone, “President Zhang has always been punctual. It’s so late already and he still isn’t here.”

Mu Siyin blinked and said curiously, “Cuz, he isn’t flaking on me, is he?”

Lu Jingchen’s lips twitched, signaling her to be quiet.

Soon, the call went through. “President Zhang, my cousin and I are waiting for you. Are you here yet?”

“Sigh, I’m so sorry, Young Master Lu. I don’t think I’ll be of any help to Mu Corporation. Why don’t you let Miss Mu think of some other way? I’m busy here, that’s all for now.”

President Zhang answered the phone hastily and hung up before Lu Jingchen could interrupt him.

Lu Jingchen and Mu Siyin eyed each other.

Mu Siyin wanted to flip a table in rage. She had jinxed it with her casual remark!

Lu Jingchen threw his hands in the air helplessly. “He flaked on you for real…”
