It's all mixed up, yeah!

Mu Qianqian sobbed as she returned to the doorway of Wu Chen's house.

Wu Chen thought for a moment in silence, then said, "Yes, there's a spare key on the meter box on the side wall. It's quite high; you can stand on tiptoe and reach it. Go in first, and I'll wait for you to come back."

Um,

Mu Qianqian agreed and hung up the phone. Less than two seconds later, Wu Chen's phone rang again. It was Lu Guangnian getting out of the car, along with a dozen or so bodyguards standing at the Shudao Café.

Brother, I've arrived.

Lu Guangnian said.

On the second floor.

Wu Chen replied.

After saying that, he hung up again.

On the First Floor of the coffee shop, Lu Guangnian hung up the phone and led his men inside. He paused for a moment upon entering, then frowned with a serious expression.

There were dozens of people in the coffee shop, and it was obvious at a glance that they weren't customers.

Someone recognized Boss Lu.

Lu Guangnian works in security and often undertakes large events, so he is quite familiar with important figures in the East Sea.

Lu Guangnian entered the room with a dozen or so bodyguards. Although the number of bodyguards was significantly less than that of Lu Guangnian's, it was uncertain whether each of his bodyguards was from an ordinary security company. The difference in their auras was obvious.

In the coffee shop, dozens of people looked very uncomfortable, unsure of what to say or whether they should speak at all.

Lu Guangnian didn't say anything, but frowned and glanced around before leading his men directly towards the stairwell.

These dozens of people, unaware of the situation, knew their boss was upstairs discussing business, yet none of them dared to intervene, and they couldn't utter a single word.

Lu Guangnian led his men upstairs, but the second floor was empty except for two people sitting by the window.

Lu Guanglian spotted Wu Chen immediately upon entering, and approached him with a smile Brother Dao, we're chatting.

After greeting them, his face darkened again, and he glared at Meng Junhao.

Does he know Meng Junhao?

They are all prominent figures in the East Sea; it's impossible for them not to know each other, it's just a matter of how well they know each other.

Meng Junhao stood up with a very strange expression and called out to Boss Lu. He wasn't someone who would back down from anyone; if it were a normal meeting with Lu Guangnian, he would definitely be smiling, shaking hands, and exchanging pleasantries, but this was clearly not normal.

If you go upstairs and call Wu Chen" brother," and he gives you a dark look, as if you have a grudge against him, then he'll give you that look.

Without wasting words, Lu Guangnian walked over, casually pulled a chair from another table, tossed it to the side, plopped down, leaned back, and glanced sideways at Meng Junhao.

Boss Mao, was it your dad who called and threatened my brother earlier?

Meng Junhao was stunned for a moment; Lu Guangning's attitude made it seem as if he was about to chop him up.

Brother Lu, please stop!

Wu Chen raised his hand and gestured towards the Ghost Medicine, indicating his intention to stop Lu Guangnian.

Mr. Luo, I... I didn't.

Hey, you misunderstood.

Meng Junhao was a little panicked. He was already in enough trouble. If a big shot like Lu Guangnian got his eye on him, he wouldn't be able to live anymore.

Is it a misunderstanding?

I was right next to my brother when you called him. What did you say?

Lu Guanglin asked with a fierce look in his eyes, speaking slowly but in a heavy voice.

Hey, no, that's not it. I, Meng Junhao, am really panicking. I even looked at Wu Chen for help. I can't explain it to him.

Brother, does your wife know that he's threatening you?

Lu Guangnian then turned to Wu Chen and asked.

Wu Chen was taken aback by the question before he realized that Lu Guangnian's "sister-in-law" meant "brother" and "wife" meant Li Ruobing.

Lu Guangning really knows how to put on a good show for people.

Meng Junhao was taken aback at first, then his expression changed drastically.

He initially thought Lu Guangnian called Wu Chen" brother" because of Li Ruobing. He had also heard of Li Ruotai, and about the incident with Lao Pinxuan a few days ago, which he heard almost led to a conflict, but things were fine afterwards.

Lu Guangning was always sociable. Everyone knew that he had a close relationship with Li Ruotai. He also had a good personal relationship with Li Ruobing. Moreover, he liked to call acquaintances brother, which was a bit of a charlatan. So Meng Junhao didn't think much about Li Ruo before. Now it was normal for him to call Wu Chen's brother-in-law Lu Guangnian brother, which showed that they were familiar with each other. But as soon as the words "brother and sister" came out, the relationship completely changed.

Lu Guangning calls Wu Chen" brother" not because Wu Chen is Li Ruobing's man Li Ruota brother-in-law, but to separate the two of them; he is directly related to Wu Chen as brothers.

More importantly, the woman whom Lu Guoning called "sister-in-law" is the eldest granddaughter of the Li Family Heir, Li Ruobing. The fact that she called him that shows that Wu Chen is more important to her, and the Li Family siblings have to take a backseat. In her mind, Wu Chen is the person directly related to Wu Chen Li Ruobing and Li Ruotai, and he is the one who takes precedence.

What kind of brothers are these?

Brothers in arms?

Meng Junhao's face changed color; he was already afraid of death and felt like he was going crazy.

There's no need to tell Ruobing about trivial matters.

Wu Chen smiled and went back to the furnace. Guang Nian then advised, "Brother Lu, don't get so angry right away. We're all friends."

Yes, yes, they're all friends.

Uh, Boss Lu, you've misunderstood. Mr. Wu and I... well, there was some misunderstanding, but we've talked it out.

Yes, really, we've already agreed.

Meng Junhao began to explain at a rapid pace, as if afraid of not being able to explain clearly.

Have you agreed?

Lu Guangnian frowned, then looked at Wu Chen with a questioning gaze.

Brother.

Wu Chen smiled, nodded, and said, "I've already said it, Brother Lu, you go about your business, I'll handle it myself."

Look at your brother, I don't like hearing that. If you're not happy about it, what kind of relationship do we have? Your business is my business. In the East Sea, if you even touch a hair on my head, I'll tear you apart.

Meng Junhao's heart skipped a beat again, and he quickly asked, "Eh?"

Boss Lu, you've really misunderstood. I didn't mean it. Please calm down. It was just a small misunderstanding between Mr. Wu and me, and you're still trying to explain.

Wu Chen glanced at Meng Junhao and said, "That's enough, that's enough for now. Lu Guang, he's done with your request."

I feel like I've borrowed a bit too much.

Lu Guangnian was too proactive, but there won't be any side effects; it will only make things better. It will lead to a kind of cure: Meng Junhao was only afraid to disobey Wu Chen because of fear, but now he has seen that even without the Li Family siblings, Wu Chen still has his own powerful network of connections.

Wu Chen is very mysterious, which leads him to make many wild guesses, which become increasingly exaggerated over and over again.

Meng Junhao was someone who knew how to climb the social ladder by currying favor with the powerful and influential. Under these circumstances, when Wu Chen asked him to do something, he would do it proactively and do it better than he originally did out of fear.

He would curry favor with Wu Chen because he realized that getting to know Wu Chen was an opportunity. He even speculated that Wu Chen was a powerful figure with a terrifying background and extensive connections, similar to Ding Ruilong or Li Ruotai.

Over the next ten minutes or so, the three chatted casually for a few more minutes, with Meng Junhao repeatedly explaining and reassuring them.

Alright, I have something to do, I should go.

Wu Chen stood up, glanced at his watch Brother Dao, " Brother, let's have dinner together."

Lu Guangning couldn't get up either; he had things to do at home. "Brother Lu, you should go back and keep your wife company."

Wu Chen laughed.

Lu Guangnian assumed that Wu Chen meant "home" when he said he wanted to change his mind about Li Ruobing, so he didn't insist and went downstairs to go home.

Just as Wu Chen was driving his Lamborghini home, Su Qingying came upstairs with two bodyguards, carrying groceries, in the stairwell outside his Wu Chen building.

Upon reaching the door, he gestured to his bodyguard, who then used a wire to pry open the lock.

Su Qingying didn't have a key to Wu Chen's house, and he hadn't called Wu Chen before coming. Moreover, he knew Wu Chen wasn't home because he had spoken to Li Ruobing on the phone before coming. Li Ruobing said Wu Chen was busy, and he wanted to give Wu Chen a surprise by preparing dinner himself. He wanted to celebrate today's success with Wu Chen, and he could also bring in the clothes and sheets he had washed yesterday that were hanging inside.

Su Qingying still remembered it; the bodyguard was trying to pry open the door, but with a creak and click, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

Mu Qingqing frowned as she looked at the bodyguard at the door, then glanced at Su Qingying beside her.

The two women stared at each other, completely stunned. Did they know each other?

Su Qing was genuinely stunned; one could say she was momentarily speechless.

Wu Chen has family members at home, including a girl whom Su Qingying knows. More importantly, he is wearing...

Mu Qingqing stared blankly at Su Qingying. Actually, he hadn't come to Wu Chen's house specifically after leaving home; he had been wandering around outside all day.

He was very annoyed and unhappy today. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He went out in the morning to walk around and look at things, but he couldn't muster any interest in anything.

He had been wandering the streets alone for almost a day, and before he knew it, he had walked to the vicinity of Wu Chen's house. He thought of Wu Chen, so he went to sit on the steps in front of Wu Chen's house and then called Wu Chen.

Wu Chen told him the location of the spare key and asked Mu Qingqing to wait for him to return.

After entering the house, Mu Qingqing sat on the sofa in the living room for a while. Because she was sweating and feeling uncomfortable after shopping all day, she took a shower.

He didn't put on his own clothes afterward. There were some washed and dried clothes hanging on the Balcony, so he just grabbed one and put it on. It was Wu Chen's bathrobe, which was a bit too big for Mu Qianqian. When Wu Chen wore it, the hem went past his knees, but when Mu Qianqian wore it, it almost reached her ankles.

Su Qing met Mu Qianqian's gaze and carefully examined her from head to toe.

Mu Qianqian was wearing a bathrobe, which she remembered putting into the washing machine herself yesterday. After it was washed, he also put it on the clothes rack and hung it on the clothesline.

Moreover, Mu Qingqing's hair wasn't dry yet, so it was obvious she had just taken a shower.

Mu Qingtian's eyes were still red, as if he had been crying earlier.

Miss Su Mu Qianqian both had very strange looks in their eyes.

Mu Qianqian had just finished showering a few minutes earlier and was limping on the sofa waiting for Wu Chen to come back when she suddenly heard a noise at the door. It sounded like someone was using a key to open the door, but something didn't sound right. It sounded like the key was malfunctioning and the lock wouldn't open. There was a clicking sound, so she went over to open the door and saw a man in Black-Suited Bodyguards, holding a wire.

Mu Qianqian immediately realized it was a lock-picking incident. Before he could even guess if it was a thief, he noticed Su Qingying standing next to him.

Su Qingying and Jin Tie wore a black, form-fitting, bodycon dress that looked like it was for a banquet. The dress had a large slit, revealing her shoulders. It was a very formal yet very feminine dress that accentuated her figure.

Add to that her long, wavy hair and her flawless face that's hard to find any imperfections from any angle.

This is a fairy with a disdainful appearance, but in her hands she is carrying several plastic bags full of everyday life. The bags are of different sizes, and you can see that they are filled with various vegetables, fish and meat. You can also see a green onion sticking out of the plastic bag.

The fairy had just returned from the Market with this strange feeling.

After exchanging a puzzled greeting, the two stared at each other for a full ten seconds without saying a word.

Miss Mu, what are you doing at Wu Chen's house?

Su Qingying spoke first, her voice soft and sweet, yet tinged with doubt and hesitation.

Is Wu Chen at home?

He remembered Li Ruobing saying that Wu Chen was busy. Could it be that he was at home with other girls?

No, he's not home. He told me to wait for him. I'll use my spare key first.

Mu Qingqing hesitated, her eyes also looking strange. Before she could finish explaining her situation, she asked Su Qingying, "Miss Su, what are you doing?"

After saying that, he glanced at the bodyguard next to him, unsure of what to ask next; there were just too many things to complain about.

Why did Su Qingying come here?

Does Su Qingying know Wu Chen?

What does it mean that Su Qingying is carrying groceries?

What did it mean that Su Qingying's bodyguard picked the lock?

I, Su Qing, didn't know how to explain it. I wasn't clear about Mu Qianqian's situation, so I paused and said, "Wu Chen and I are friends."

After saying that, he gestured to his bodyguards, who then turned around and hurriedly went downstairs without saying a word, returning to their cars to wait.

Su Qingying didn't explain to Mu Qianqian why she picked the lock; it was somewhat awkward, as not someone with proper upbringing would do such a thing.

He was easy to talk to Wu Chen, but he was close to his mother. He had no idea why his mother was here; it was too strange.

The bodyguard came downstairs, and Su Qing also carried the groceries into the house. Mu Qianqian was originally blocking the door. If it were anyone else, he certainly wouldn't let them in like that, but Su Qingying was too special. Mu Qianqian didn't have any subconscious wariness towards Su Qingying, even though this was Wu Chen's house. Of course, she couldn't suspect that Su Qingying was there to steal things.

This is hilarious, nothing is this funny.

Su Qingying said she was friends with Wu Chen. Although Mu Qingtian felt something was off, he believed that Su Qingying and Wu Chen must know each other.

As Su Qingying entered, Mu Qianqian stepped aside.

After entering the house, Su Qingying first placed the bag containing vegetables and meat on the cabinet by the door, and then changed into slippers at the doorway.

Mu Qianqian closed the door and looked at Su Qingying with an even more strange gaze. She could tell that Su Qingying was familiar with the place, just like that.

After changing into slippers, Su Qingying carried the groceries inside and asked Mu Qingqing, "Miss Mu, when did you arrive?"

Not long, half an hour.

Mu Qianqian asked, "Are you friends with Wu Chen?"

Su Qingying asked Mu Qingqing.

She took a shower and changed clothes at Wu Chen's house, and even wore Wu Chen's clothes.

He wasn't asking that, of course; he was asking if we were friends.

To friends.

Mu Qianqian replied.

Neither of them knew anything about the other, yet both were aware of each other's backgrounds and family affairs. Therefore, both were wary of each other regarding their relationship with Wu Chen, making it difficult to say anything.

Although both of them knew something was wrong with the other, Mu Qianqian felt even more uneasy, because this was Su Qingying.

Su Jingying carried the bag and headed straight for the kitchen. As she passed the sofa, she noticed clothes her mother had signed on it. All the clothes were just casually tossed on the sofa, including the two very private pieces.

He glanced at it, but didn't say or ask anything. He walked past and went into the kitchen first.

Mu Qianqian walked back to the sofa, feeling increasingly uneasy. Why was Su Qingying like she was at home? She was a little confused.

To be honest, Mu Qingqing and Su Qingying were just acquaintances and didn't have any special relationship. Both families were big players in the East Sea, so their families naturally had some dealings.

However, Mu Qianqian hasn't even started university yet, while Su Qingying has been working for several years. Given their significant age difference, they naturally don't have much of a personal relationship.

The last time Mu Qingqing saw Su Qingying was a few months ago, at Su Qingying's 27th birthday party, which was attended by his father Mu Sihai.

Since Su Qingying returned from studying abroad, Su Qingying birthday has been celebrated in grand style every year for the past few years. This is because the Su Family intends to cultivate a successor and use various occasions to allow Su Qingying to make more friends. The birthday banquet is just one of them.

Su Qingying had connections with the Mu family, but it was with Mu Qingqing's father Mu Sihai; therefore, the two of them were merely acquaintances.

Did Ms. Mu Wu Chen say exactly when she'll be back?

Su Qingying put the vegetables and meat down for a moment, came out of the kitchen, and asked Mu Qingqing a question.

They didn't say, but I guess it'll be soon.

Mu Qianqian stood by the sofa and replied, looking somewhat dazed.

He couldn't understand it.

Still thinking about it? Then you go ahead and do it.

Su Qingying gestured.

His mother had that strange feeling again, as if this was Su Qingying's home, and she was a guest Su Qingying was entertaining, and he was even being asked to sit first; the atmosphere was very subtle.

After speaking with Mu Qianqian, Su Qing went directly into Wu Chen's bedroom and closed the door behind her.

Mu Qianqian turned her head and sat down on the sofa with a frown, her expression troubled.

Just a minute or two later, Su Qingying came out of the bedroom again, but she had changed her clothes. They looked like men's pajamas, blue, and probably made by Wuchen.

Miss Mu, would you like something to drink?

What would you like to drink?

There's some in the refrigerator.

As Su Qing asked the question, she walked to the Balcony and began to collect the clothes from Balcony clothesline.

Mu Qianqian's eyes widened. After thinking for a while, she suddenly stood up and boldly asked Su Qingying a question, "Miss Su, have you slept with Wu Chen?"

Mu Qianqian stood up and asked.

This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
