As usual, Mu Yuchen woke up early in the morning. Xi Xiaye and Mu Xiao Cheng were still asleep. As he was about to wake her up for breakfast, he got a call from Li Si.
Mu Yuchen quickly changed and went out.
At the resting hut in the park, Xi Xinyi found her way there by memory. Mu Yuchen was already waiting for her at the same spot.
Xi Xinyi stopped behind him and looked at him quietly, her eyes seeming complicated.
She knew what had happened to Glory World and Mu Yuchen, and she thought it would not end so quickly. Nevertheless, Mu Yuchen came out of jail after just half a month. He was a very capable person after all.
This man’s existence was like a myth in City Z. Not only was he capable, but his networks were formidable as well.
Xi Xinyi felt that Xi Xiaye was way too lucky to be married to this man. On the other hand, she herself…
With w.a.n.g Qin gone, her value in Qi Kai fell drastically. She knew very well that Qi Qiming was willing to help her because of her relationship with the Han family. Along with Yue Hai’s help, Qi Qiming wanted to use her to topple w.a.n.g Qin.
When she first joined, it did help Qi Qiming gain more internal supporters, and w.a.n.g Qin’s power was weakened. Now that w.a.n.g Qin had pa.s.sed away, Qi Qiming was in full control of Qi Kai, so Xi Xinyi’s value as a p.a.w.n declined over time.
Xi Xinyi was definitely affected by w.a.n.g Qin’s death. She was not sure if Qi Qiming would still treat Yueying the same. With Han Yifeng’s abandonment and the Han family’s lack of concern, Xi Xinyi felt extremely restricted.
Fortunately, her movies earlier this year did very well at the box office. It was thanks to that that she did not become an abandoned p.a.w.n so quickly.
Xi Xinyi kept thinking about it. She thought it was time to find someone else to help her, and in the end, she could only feel safe working with Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen had also told her before that he would give her one chance, so why not take it? Hopefully, he would not be too harsh on her since she was related to Xi Mushan and Xi Xiaye.
“I’ve thought about it, and I’ll agree with it. Tell me what you want me to do,” Xi Xinyi said.
Mu Yuchen turned around and glanced at Xi Xinyi. His expression turned cold as he spoke, “You’re getting smarter.”
Mu Yuchen’s strategy was exceptionally effective. They found out that Gu Qiwu and Qi Qiming met in secret. Ah Mo found something odd, and now with Xi Xinyi, everything was going according to plan. The sole unfortunate event was w.a.n.g Qin’s death.
Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened as he thought about it.
“I’m just going with the flow. I’ll do my best in whatever you ask of me, but please don’t forget what you promised. I want my son.” Xi Xinyi never expected she would do this. Her hatred towards them never reduced, but she knew very well she was responsible for the consequences she bore today. If it was not for her greed, maybe…
Xi Xiaye was right. She was a person like that.
“I can give you a chance, but whether it works depends on you.” Mu Yuchen gave her a sharp glance as if he could see right through her. “If you still won’t reflect on yourself after going through so much, you won’t be able to use any chances given to you anyway.”
Xi Xinyi’s face turned pale and her eyes looked blank. Finally, she nodded after some time. “I know in the past… I’m sorry for what I’ve done to Xiaye. Whether you believe me or not, I really love Yifeng and our son. My methods were too extreme. I’m not a good wife or a good mother either…”
Xi Xinyi started to tear up. Tears then flowed out of her eyes and rolled down her cheeks.
Mu Yuchen averted his gaze towards the blue lake. “Saying the word ‘love’ sounds really cheap when you’re able to hurt the person closest to you. I feel sorry for Han Yifeng.”
“But you wouldn’t have gotten together with my sister if it weren’t for me, right?” Xi Xinyi mumbled.
Mu Yuchen scoffed. “Really? Do you really think one person can alter someone’s fate? As long as I fancied her, I’d still be able to get her even if she married Han Yifeng.”
Xi Xinyi was taken aback. She took a deep breath and hesitated before asking, “Is Gu Lingsha really the person who pushed me?”
“It’s clearly written on the doc.u.ment given to you,” Mu Yuchen replied.
Xi Xinyi nodded. “Okay, I’ll do whatever you say.”
Mu Yuchen walked aside and gazed at Xi Xinyi. “It’s great that you thought this through. Save your tears for Han Yifeng. The first thing I need you to do now is to get closer to Gu Lingsha.”
Xi Xinyi was stunned for a moment before she felt troubled. “Chairman Mu, you might have no idea, but Gu Lingsha is extremely careful. She isn’t really friendly to anyone. I’ve never seen her getting close to anyone since she’s been here.”
Mu Yuchen put on a grin as he signaled Li Si who quickly handed her a doc.u.ment.
