The blush on Mu Lee's face had yet to fade when the bathroom door was knocked. Mu Lee was shocked: "Who ... "Who is it?"
"Xiao Li, it's me. I've brought you some clothes."
Sister Liu covered her mouth and laughed. She seemed to have already figured out why the Madam wanted to change her clothes.
Mu Lee opened the door a little and took her clothes in, "Thank you." She quickly closed the door again.
When Sister Liu walked out, she did not say anything. Instead, she glanced at Gu Tingchen with a smile still hanging on her face. However, Gu Tingchen did not know why Sister Liu was so happy.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Tingchen could not help but ask.
"It's nothing. If there's nothing else, I'll head back first. I've made a pot of chicken soup for Madam. I'll wait for her to come home tonight to recuperate." With that, the Sister Liu left with a smile.
Looking at the Sister Liu's expression, Gu Tingchen was stunned, and only then did he realize that Sister Liu had probably misunderstood him.
Gu Tingchen's mouth slowly curved into a smile, he was too lazy to explain.
When it was almost noon, Gu Tingchen glanced at Mu Lee who was still working outside: "Let's go out for lunch today. I've ordered Japanese food."
Mu Lee nodded after hearing it: "Alright."
After Mu Lee arranged the documents, she and Gu Tingchen left the company and headed downstairs to the Japanese food shop.
He did not expect that just as he walked out, his enemy would meet Gu Tingye, with Mu Yan standing beside him.
Ever since she had left the Mu Family last time, it had been a long time since she had seen Mu Yan.
When he saw Gu Tingchen and Mu Lee, Mu Yan's brows tightly knitted, disdain filling his eyes.
"It's not like you opened this shop." Mu Lee was even more dismissive, she did not want to see this woman at all.
"Heh heh, Mu Lee, you actually spoke to me like that. Don't you know who it is that helped you to be so rich and powerful?"
"I know very well who forced this wealth and glory onto me."
"You ... I never thought that my little sister would become so eloquent. Tingye, I have to say that your little brother has quite the good method." Mu Yan raised his hand and wrapped it around Gu Tingye's arm, as if she was declaring her sovereignty.
Even though Gu Tingchen and Gu Tingye were both children of the Gu family, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell who was the one getting the upper hand right now.
In the past, Gu Tingye wouldn't have been angry at Mu Yan in the slightest, instead, he would have been complacent.
But today, seeing his own brother together with Mu Lee, and seeing Mu Yan saying that, he felt embarrassed.
"Alright, since we've already met, why don't the four of us eat together? I'll treat you to this meal." Gu Tingye looked at Gu Tingchen, and then glanced at Mu Lee. The lady had already changed into a clean set of clothes, and was as though he was a completely different person from before.
Gu Tingchen looked up at Mu Lee: "What do you think?"
A smile appeared on Mu Lee's face, "It's good that you've made your decision."
Gu Tingchen revealed a long-awaited smile, "Alright, then let's eat together."
As they spoke, the two of them walked into the dining hall first. However, Mu Yan was frowning, as she pulled on the discontented look on her face: "Tingye, why are you eating with them?"
"What's wrong?" Gu Tingye looked at Mu Yan beside him, why was this woman so sarcastic and sarcastic today?
"What do you think? We were supposed to be out on a date today, but they disturbed us." Mu Yan curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
"It's just a meal. This is the company. If the employees see that we two are not on good terms with each other, who knows how much gossip we'll have. We can't lose face for the Gu family just because of you."
Mu Yan was taught a lesson by Gu Tingye, but in the end, she still did not speak.
If she wanted to lean against a big tree to take advantage of it, she couldn't offend Gu Tingye.
