Chapter 89: Ye Zhi With a Guilty Conscience

Mu Hui returned a smile, but she was somewhat absent-minded.

According to the original plot of the book, the story did not develop like this. In the original story, Old Madam Zheng did not appear. It was said that she had died in the old neighborhood district that day.

Lu Yichen had been staring at Mu Hui and Old Madam Zheng. After seeing that the two of them seemed to know each other, he became angry in an instant.

He stood up directly and was about to rush up when Ye Zhi pulled him back.

“Yichen, don’t be rash. You…”

She felt so guilty that she did not dare to go up to the old lady.

Before Ye Zhi could finish speaking, Lu Yichen pushed her away directly. She almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she managed to hold onto the table in time.

When she saw Lu Yichen looking for Old Madam Zheng aggressively, she instantly panicked.

Lu Yichen walked over and said in a strange tone, “Looks like the two of you are old acquaintances.”

As he had suddenly raised his voice, he managed to catch everyone’s attention.

“No way, do these two really know each other?”

“It seems like it. That Old Madam Zheng just winked at Mu Hui.”

“Don’t tell me that they have a relationship too? Isn’t she just using power for personal gain?”

Lu Yichen looked directly at Old Madam Zheng with a face full of anger. It was as if he wanted her to give him an explanation immediately.

Old Madam Zheng was very calm. She sat down beside Mu Hui and ignored the surprised gazes of the others.

She looked past Lu Yichen and saw Ye Zhi, who had been avoiding her gaze behind him. She sneered.

“If I really want to use my power for personal gain, the one behind you is the first one I have to deal with today!”

“What do you mean?”

Lu Yichen did not understand.

Old Madam Zheng did not answer his question. She stared at Ye Zhi sharply. Her stare was self-evident.

Lu Yichen followed her gaze and looked at Ye Zhi behind him. He noticed that Ye Zhi’s face was full of panic. She did not dare to look him in the eye.

His heart instantly became suspicious. Could Ye Zhi have done something behind his back?

Lu Yichen could not help but ask, “Ye Zhi, what’s going on? What is she talking about?”

Ye Zhi looked at Old Madam Zheng with fear in her eyes. She instantly lowered her head and said, “Yichen, I’ll tell you when we get back.”

This time, Lu Yichen became even more suspicious.

It was not just her. Everyone felt that there was something wrong with Ye Zhi. However, they were just here to watch the show. No one wanted to investigate an unrelated person.

Old Madam Zheng only gave a warning. She then looked at Mu Hui with a warm smile on her face.

“Young lady, do your best, do your best. I have faith in you.”

Mu Hui nodded as if she had gained some strength.

Minister Zheng walked over at this moment and nodded at Mu Hui. He then helped Old Madam Zheng up.

“Mother, let me bring you back to take your medicine.”

“Okay.”

Mu Hui looked at Minister Zheng and the rest of them as they left. She had some thoughts in her mind.

She turned her head and asked Lu Yichen directly, “CEO Lu, why is the design you handed over the same as Amy’s? Did you really design it yourself? Or did someone give you some pointers?”

Lu Yichen’s eyes started to flicker. He did not dare to look back at Mu Hui. He only said, “This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Miss Mu, right?”

“No, it doesn’t. But since you’re here to participate in the bidding, you should give some face to our mayor, shouldn’t you? Won’t you make people think that this bidding is just a game?”

Mu Hui’s voice was cold as she tossed the topic to the mayor.

The mayor had lost his reputation consistently. He was already in a bad mood, and his face was currently even more gloomy. He glared at Lu Yichen, snorted coldly, and left with his men.

It could be said that he completely despised Lu Yichen.

As Mu Hui had achieved her goal, she did not intend to dig any further. She already knew that there must be someone else behind Lu Yichen.

She had to think of a way to find out who was the person behind him. The person must be a transmigrator and he must be an enemy.

Fu Siye noticed that Mu Hui had been talking to Lu Yichen, and his face became a little unhappy. He walked over and hugged Mu Hui, declaring his sovereignty.

“Do you still want the reward?” asked Fu Siye as he frowned slightly.

Mu Hui knew that he was jealous. She smiled and hugged his waist.

“Of course I want it. Let’s go back quickly.”

After seeing the two of them leave shoulder to shoulder, Lu Yichen was so angry that he was about to explode.

Not long ago, Mu Hui had been clinging onto him the same way. However, she was currently Fu Siye’s possession.

He could not accept it!

On the way back, Lu Yichen’s face was dark. Ye Zhi, who was at the side, did not dare to speak up.

Just as the car stopped, Lu Yichen suddenly asked coldly, “How did you offend Old Madam Zheng?”
