His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2135: Chapter 615: Perfect Coordination (Part 3)

”Hehe, as long as you like it!”

Qin Mingzhu said with a slightly embarrassed smile. She’d thought wild-vegetable dumplings would be something special, but it turned out they were just so-so, and she felt a bit guilty for having eaten so many of Xi Meng’s.

”But what were you two talking about just now? Was it about brother‑in‑law’s temporary secretary? What’s going on with her?”

Qin Mingzhu really couldn’t hold back her curiosity anymore.

”Uh, Qin Mu, you didn’t tell her?”

Xi Meng thought, with how close these two sisters are now, Qin Mu shouldn’t be hiding it from her.

”How would I dare tell her? If I tell her today, won’t she be broadcasting it to the whole world by tomorrow?”

Qin Mu shot a helpless look at Qin Mingzhu, but there was a hint of fondness in her eyes.

”How could I possibly spread it to the whole world? What do you take me for!”

Qin Mingzhu’s voice wasn’t loud, but she did sound a bit guilty. In her heart she thought, at most I’ll pass it on to my friend circle, like Helian Hao, Chen Xiaomei, Mu Qingxin... especially Mu Qingxin.

But what Qin Mu was most afraid of was her telling Mu Qingxin. That girl Qingxin, if she ever got desperate enough for money, she might even send it to some gossip magazine. Then Qin Mu would really...

Qin Mingzhu thought, since it’s Mu Qingxin’s brother who stirred up this romantic mess, she, Qin Mingzhu, as the younger sister, absolutely had to go demand an explanation from Mu Yichen’s little sister! Hmph!

”Mingzhu would never, right?”

Xi Meng asked her with the gentle patience of an older sister.

Qin Mingzhu hurriedly nodded hard to cooperate.

Qin Mu, however, really didn’t want her to know. Qin Mingzhu’s temperament was just too wild, too fierce.

”So, since she’s already written her resignation letter, why can’t she bear to officially resign to brother‑in‑law? I think she’s obviously a green‑tea bitch, still trying to set herself up as some paragon of virtue.”

Qin Mingzhu couldn’t help muttering.

”What you said doesn’t sound nice, but I actually think it’s quite possible. President Mu did help her, but helping someone and then ending up with a whole pile of trouble in return... President Mu is pretty unlucky too. Good thing Qin Mu is magnanimous and didn’t start a fight with President Mu over it.”

As Xi Meng spoke, she glanced at Qin Mu again. She really was terrified that Yang Qin might cause a rift between Qin Mu and Mu Yichen.

Because when most women see their own husband in bed with another woman, they’re not going to stay calm.

So when Xi Meng said that, Qin Mu couldn’t help laughing and whispered, ”I’m not as big‑hearted as you think. It’s just that she was fully dressed at the time and holding documents in her arms. I was angry, but not to the point of losing my mind and being unable to judge the situation.”

”If there was another woman in Huanyu’s bed—rationality? Situation? I’d go up there first and slap that woman a few times, scratch up her face, make sure it scars, so she’ll never again have the gall to seduce my husband. And then I’d slowly ruin her reputation.”

The more Qin Mingzhu talked, the more fired up she got, like she had an endless supply of nasty ideas.

But the two sisters were fundamentally different in temperament, and since Mu Yichen had already given Yang Qin that last bit of dignity, Qin Mu couldn’t really do much more.

”If you’d just said one word to President Mu that you wanted Yang Qin gone, I think he would’ve taken action immediately. You definitely never said that, did you?”

Xi Meng asked again.

”This kind of thing isn’t something I should say. Yang Qin still doesn’t have the guts to throw herself at Mu Yichen. Otherwise I’d have kicked her out long ago!”

Qin Mu explained to her quietly.

”You’re still waiting for her to throw herself at brother‑in‑law? Has water gotten into your brain, Qin Mu?”

The moment Qin Mingzhu heard that, she flared up. She slapped both hands on the table, drawing everyone’s attention around them.

Qin Mu instinctively glanced around, while Qin Mingzhu didn’t care in the slightest.

”Enough, keep it down!”

Qin Mu said softly, and then signaled her to look around.

Only then did Qin Mingzhu reluctantly shut her mouth.

And right after that, Mu Yichen’s call came in. Qin Mu glanced at her phone and then reminded Qin Mingzhu, ”Quiet!”

Qin Mingzhu let out an unhappy snort, then pouted in dissatisfaction.

Xi Meng, on the other hand, fell quiet.

Qin Mu picked up the call. The gentle voice on the other end asked if she’d had lunch yet.

”I’m eating now!”

”What good stuff are you eating?”

Mu Yichen was having lunch with Qiao Yi. After calling her, his expression unconsciously softened a lot.

”Dumplings, with Qin Mingzhu and Xi Meng!”

Qin Mu guessed he’d definitely ask who she was with, so she reported it herself.

”Mm. Xi Meng is there too?”

Mu Yichen murmured.

”Yeah.”

Qin Mu didn’t explain anything, just answered lightly.

Xi Meng felt that within that single ”yeah” of Qin Mu’s, there was some hidden message. Mu Yichen should be able to get it.

Qin Mingzhu, however, couldn’t stand the silence. ”Aiya, Sister Xi Meng, I heard that Yang Qin wrote her resignation letter!”

Xi Meng froze for a second.

Qin Mu’s sharp gaze swept over her, signaling her not to say another word.

”Then why didn’t she hand in her resignation if she already wrote it?”

Qin Mingzhu didn’t care about any of that and raised her voice directly to ask Xi Meng.

”Yeah! She said she couldn’t bear to leave!”

Xi Meng cooperated and played along.

Qin Mu stared at Xi Meng in surprise, thinking, since when did you become so good at acting?

Xi Meng replied with a helpless look in her eyes.

Qin Mu lowered her head and listened as the other end went quiet for a while. She herself also stayed silent for a bit, as if the two of them were both digesting those words.

”Xi Meng told you that Yang Qin wrote a resignation letter?”

Mu Yichen eventually spoke up, his steady voice calm and unhurried as he asked.

”Mm.”

Qin Mu answered softly.

”Got it. If you’re in the city center, I’ll come pick you up after work this afternoon. I’m hanging up first.”

After telling her that, Mu Yichen hung up. Then his dark eyes lifted to look at the person opposite him. Qiao Yi was staring at him in confusion as well.

Qin Mu slowly set her phone down on the table, keeping her gaze lowered for a long time without looking up, her curved lashes fluttering slightly.

”What did brother‑in‑law say?”

Qin Mingzhu asked her in an excited whisper, her big eyes full of curiosity she couldn’t hide.

”He said he’s coming to pick me up after work.”

Qin Mu glossed over the important part, but felt like a weight had been lifted from her heart.

”What the hell, I just put on such a hard‑working performance!”

Qin Mingzhu muttered in dissatisfaction.

Qin Mu lifted her eyes to look at her, a faint touch of softness settling in her gaze.
