Chapter 1110. Banquet (6)
At this moment, outside the Emperor Hotel, inside a certain black Bentley, Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo were sitting side by side in the backseat. Zhou Zimo had a laptop on his lap and was watching his screen in amusement. He caught every one of their expressions, from Gu Lingsha to Doris, while Mu Yuchen sat with an apathetic expression beside him. Mu Yuchen took an unenthusiastic look at the screen, and in the next instant lowered his gaze and casually fixed his sleeves.
“Doris is quite bold. She didn’t leave a man like Gu Qiwu any dignity either. Look at Gu Qiwu’s face. Ah, how miserable! It’s all swollen! How does Gu Qiwu even endure that? If it were me, I would’ve returned the slap! I’ve always had zero tolerance for domestic violence!”
Zhou Zimo watched the screen as Gu Qiwu’s handsome face was clearly swollen. He could not help but take delight in his misfortune. As he turned to Mu Yuchen who remained silent, he said, “Doris’s face has turned ashen. That means she must be quite angry! That or she’s just great at acting!”
Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen elegantly buttoned up his sleeves and said unaffectedly, “Is that so? I didn’t see a hint of surprise from her eyes. I only saw anger. That means she wasn’t that surprised by this outcome.” Mu Yuchen’s deep voice came through, sounding a little cold to Zhou Zimo.
Zhou Zimo looked at him hesitantly, and then asked, “So?”
“So, she must have known about Gu Qiwu and Lingshi’s relationship. At least, before this, she must’ve already found out.” Mu Yuchen’s tone was filled with certainty.
Zhou Zimo’s eyes darkened as he responded, “That does sound logical. However, Gu Qiwu is so sure that you did it. In fact, Qi Qiming’s reaction seemed interesting, but I do know that he had a close relationship with your aunt before this. How then? What are you planning on doing after this?”
Mu Yuchen’s expression was as calm as water. He did not immediately answer Zhou Zimo’s question as he gently leaned back against the seat and silently watched the laptop screen. His eyes flickered mysteriously.
“Actually, I don’t have many memories of Aunt either, but from the times that I’ve interacted with her, I could also feel that she was a very innocent woman. My grandparents had hoped that she could live a simple and quiet life, and there was nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately, some things remain a hope. Up to this day, the tragedy has never stopped,” Mu Yuchen said in a deep voice that was slightly raspy. His fair and slender finger gently held his heavy head. “Whether it was for Aunt, or Lingtian, Lingshi, or the Mu family, Gu Qiwu still owes us an explanation and there’s a score to settle. These things have to be dealt with sooner or later.”
