The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO

Chapter 348: A Clear Conscience

“So you feel that I shouldn’t let Huo Yuqi make a public apology? That way, she’ll like me and stop creating trouble for me?” Mu Huan asked this question instead, seeing that she wasn’t able to convince the girl.

Li Meng: “...”

“When a person doesn’t like you, she’ll find fault with you no matter what you do. Hence, I might as well do what gives me a sense of satisfaction!”

“But...”

“There’s no but.”

Frustrated, Li Meng continued, “Xiao Huan, don’t you know why a marriage requires blessings from both sides of the family? Because a marriage is not a temporary matter — it makes up the days of our lives. If, in that time, your in-laws didn’t like you, they wouldn’t have to make life difficult for you in a big way. They would only need to ensure minor inconveniences for you, and over time, life would become tough.”

Li Meng didn’t wish to be the cause of an unhappy marriage for Mu Huan.

“Don’t overthink it, you’re worrying before it even happens! Besides, do you think that as a child, I misbehaved or was disobedient, was lazy in school, not outstanding enough, and not good at pleasing my grandma? Nevertheless, she didn’t like me, no matter what I did. Hence, when someone doesn’t like you, there’s no point in being unfair to yourself and appeasing the other party. You do everything with a clear conscience and the rest is up to them.

“And don’t go thinking it’s your fault. This happened to you because of me; Huo Yuqi created trouble for you because of me. Even without you, she’d still come looking for trouble. This really has got nothing to do with you!”

Li Meng: “...”

Some time later...

“What if Bo Junyan gradually grows cold toward you because his family doesn’t like you?”

She was about to reply when...

“Student Mu Huan!”

Having been singled out, Mu Huan quickly sat up straight and looked toward the lecturing platform with a sheepish smile.

Seeing that she was now paying attention, Bo Junyan didn’t pursue the matter.

Li Meng too did not dare to continue her conversation with Mu Huan.

After class, Mu Huan reminded her again not to overthink things, then headed off to the experiment laboratory with Bo Junyan.

It was afternoon by the time she returned.

“Bad news, Xiao Huan!” Li Meng had been waiting at the door for Mu Huan’s return. She hurriedly took Mu Huan’s hand and pulled her to a quiet corner.

“What’s the matter?”

“Something’s happened to Xingye while he’s in T Country!”

“What happened? Why is he even in T Country?”

“He took up a tour guiding job to T Country. In the morning, a customer called the headquarters to file a complaint that he had gone out last night and hadn’t returned to the hotel this morning. The customer felt that he had been stood up and demanded compensation. You know Xingye had always worked hard for the money he needed, he couldn’t have disappeared for no reason, unless something had happened to him!”

Mu Huan’s expression deepened and she instantly reached for her cell phone. She clicked into the Know-All Agency internal chat group and sent an urgent message, asking if anyone was in T Country that could help to search for Wu Xingye.

Very shortly afterward, someone in T Country responded and said he had run into Wu Xingye last night. They had a few drinks, and after that, Wu Xingye said he wanted to visit an entertainment club. At that point, they went their separate ways.

Immediately, Mu Huan tasked the caller to return to the entertainment club for an investigation.

Even though she was an internal staff with the Know-All Agency, they had to pay a fee for tasking each other. Mu Huan was generous with her fee offering, and hence, once the person received the job, he immediately headed back to the entertainment club to investigate.

An hour later, he replied to Mu Huan and informed her that Wu Xingye had gone missing after winning a lot of money last night. Later on, he added that it seemed guests who had won big sums of money at this place would often end up going missing.

When Mu Huan saw this message, she immediately understood and said, “Would you take on a rescue mission? Money is not an issue...”
