Chapter 821 The Orphan Girl Deceived by the Pretending-to-Be-Poor CEO (6)
After Mu Zhou returned to the private room, Gu Huaizhou soon appeared as well.
He changed direction and sat down next to Mu Zhou.
The others didn't seem to notice, but Mu Zhou unconsciously sat up straighter.
She leaned closer to Xiang Ze.
Xiang Ze noticed her approaching him and assumed she was uncomfortable in the environment, so he gently leaned down and whispered in her ear:
"Should we go back first?"
Anyway, we've met everyone. Today's purpose is to formally introduce Mu Zhou to his circle of friends.
Mu Zhou hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
They've only been here a short time, let's wait a bit longer.
Xiang Ze looked down at her, his heart suddenly racing.
She sat obediently beside him, her little face slightly tilted up, looking at him intently.
Her fair skin looked as if it were coated with moonlight under the dim light.
Sacred and aloof.
His gaze fell on her slightly parted lips, and Xiang Ze's Adam's apple suddenly bobbed, his voice momentarily hoarse.
"Then, let's wait a bit before we go."
"Ah."
The sight of the two whispering intimately together was observed by Gu Huaizhou, who was standing to the side.
He gave a cold laugh and a cryptic snort.
Gu Huaizhou recalled that day in the alley when she mentioned "picking up men," and the deep disgust on her face seemed genuine.
At that time, she must have hated Xiang Ze.
In just a few days, she has completely changed her appearance.
Women, indeed, are fickle.
He gripped the wine glass, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
That meeting was actually an accident.
He returned to China a day early, but unexpectedly encountered two "surprises".
First, in her father's office, she witnessed her father and an employee doing disgusting and lewd things.
Later, he saw his mother and bodyguard mingling together at home.
All these years have passed, and they haven't changed.
They did those things like inhuman animals, regardless of time or place.
Thinking of how they usually talk about gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, humility, propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, trustworthiness, loyalty, filial piety, integrity, shame, and courage.
He found it laughable that they secretly did such shameless things.
They said he was dissolute and lacked the demeanor of a scion of a noble family, bringing shame upon his century-old clan.
What about them?
How high can their upbringing be?
Who exactly is smearing the family's reputation?
Ha, hypocrisy.
Since seeing through their despicable acts, Gu Huaizhou has become increasingly out of control.
She doesn't fit in at home.
He lived a carefree and unrestrained life, wishing he could cut ties with them.
That day he went to a boxing gym and found a sparring fighter.
After venting his frustrations with punches and blows, he went to drink some alcohol.
Feeling tired along the way, I sat down wherever I could.
He never cared about what others thought.
Who knew that Mu Zhou would mistake him for a homeless person?
They even generously gave him a hundred.
Gu Huaizhou smiled inexplicably.
When he caught a glimpse of Xiang Ze pulling Mu Zhou into his arms, his smile faded.

Early in the morning, Mu Zhou fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.
Xiang Ze took out a blanket that he had prepared beforehand and covered her up completely.
Last night, Xiang Ze and his friends suddenly decided to go skiing.
There happened to be a newly opened large ski resort in a neighboring city, so the group decided to go there on a whim.
Xiang Ze's heart and eyes are now completely occupied by Mu Zhou, so naturally he wants to drag her along.
Mu Zhou is afraid of the cold and doesn't know how to ski, so he has no interest in it.
But as soon as Xiang Ze heard that she wasn't going, he immediately decided not to go either.
He didn't try to persuade her; he just stared at her intently.
During this time, Mu Zhou treated him with inconsistent attitudes, but he dared not complain and behaved very well.
So after get off work, Mu Zhou said helplessly to Xiang Ze, who had been waiting for her:
"I can't ski at all, so please remember to teach me when the time comes."
Xiang Ze's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly:
"I certainly will."
That's why Mu Zhou was sitting in the car so early this morning.
Upon arrival, the group first went to the ski resort to drop off their belongings.
Mu Zhou, Xiang Ze, and Cheng Wenjing lived in a villa.
Each of the three people has their own bedroom.
As soon as Cheng Wenjing saw Mu Zhou, she took the initiative to greet him:
"I had to go abroad for some business last time, so I couldn't attend the gathering."
She took out a beautiful gift box:
"This is a gift for you as compensation."
Mu Zhou didn't answer, but slightly curved her lips:
"There's no need for any compensation. I owe Xiang Ze and I so much for getting back together."
Thinking about all this made Cheng Wenjing feel aggrieved, and her smile faded.
Mu Zhou yawned:
"I'm still a little sleepy, I'm going to rest now."
Without paying them any attention, he closed the door.
Just as Cheng Wenjing was about to speak, Xiang Ze hurriedly went to find the housekeeper and instructed him to have the kitchen make more ginger soup.
"It's cold here, and the baby is sensitive to the cold, so it's good for him to drink more ginger soup."
Not only Cheng Wenjing heard these words, but Gu Huaizhou, who had just entered the room, also heard them all.
He was still as dashing as ever, and even though it was cold here, his collar was still wide open.
He sat down casually on the sofa and said:
"I'll stay here tonight too."
Xiang Ze then noticed him and exclaimed in surprise:
"Didn't you say you had something to do and weren't coming today?"
It has been temporarily cancelled.
Xiang Ze didn't ask any more questions, and gave the housekeeper a few more instructions about Mu Zhou's dietary preferences.
Gu Huaizhou listened, his eyes dark and unreadable.
After Xiang Ze finished his rambling, he suddenly let out a sneer:
"You've really made yourself a patriarch."
Xiang Ze immediately retorted:
"No, the baby is actually very easy to take care of. Her upbringing has made her not picky at all. She won't say if she doesn't like something, she'll just force herself to eat it. I've observed all of this myself. Huaizhou, don't be prejudiced against her."
Xiang Ze defended Mu Zhou in one breath.
Gu Huaizhou's lips were still curved in a smile, but his eyes revealed no good mood.
Cheng Wenjing frowned, noticing the awkward atmosphere between the two, and couldn't help but complain about Mu Zhou.
Xiang Ze and Gu Huaizhou have been close since childhood. Gu Huaizhou is free-spirited and unrestrained, and his relationships with everyone are just average, but his family background means that he is always surrounded by people.
Only Xiang Ze was able to get close to him.
Now, even a casual joke from Xiang Ze can almost lead to a heated argument with him.
She's a complete source of trouble.
Cheng Wenjing pursed her lips, her face showing displeasure.
Over there, Xiang Ze suddenly received a phone call, and he went outside to answer it.
When I returned, it was already half an hour later.
Gu Huaizhou was the only one in the living room.
Xiang Ze was looking worried, but when he saw him, he stopped in his tracks and his face lit up with joy:
"Huaizhou, can you do me a favor? I remember you're really good at skiing, could you teach Muzhou?"
Gu Huaizhou frowned:
"Are you crazy? You don't teach your own girlfriend, why do you expect me to?"
"You think I don't want to teach?!"
Xiang Ze just received a call from the company; there's been a minor issue with one of the projects.
It shouldn't be considered a serious issue, but this was the first time he had independently taken charge of such a large-scale project.
The board members in the group are all watching him; he can't be too much worse than his brothers.
He wouldn't feel at ease if something happened and he wasn't there to keep an eye on things.
"Huaizhou, I promise I'll be back tonight. Just teach me the basics for one day, and I'll take care of the rest when I get back."
