Chapter 47

"If Mr. Mu has nothing else, I'll go down first. If you need anything, please feel free to call me."

"Wait... I'm curious, is there true friendship between women?"

"..."

"Women are naturally jealous, greedy, keen on comparing, and mutually disparaging; it's hard to imagine any true friendship between women. Or, are you going to tell me that you and your friend aren't that kind of woman?" Mu Wei's frivolous gaze and mocking sneer wiped away the last bit of gratitude He Lele had for him.

He could say whatever he wanted about her, but Lingyu was not someone a person like him was qualified to judge!

"...It's said that a man's stereotypes about women generally come from his mother. Mr. Mu, is that true?" After asking this, without waiting for Mu Wei to react, He Lele walked out of his bedroom.

Counterattacked! Mu Wei's sneer froze on the corner of his mouth. He should have been angry, but deep down, a thread of excitement stirred. Seeing the originally weak rabbit actually stretch out its little claws to scratch him... his whole body felt numb, as if electrified!

This was more fun. If she were always in a submissive and long-suffering manner, playing with her wouldn't be any fun at all, let alone teaching her a lesson! He had to lure out her claws, her rebellious spirit, and then pull out her claws one by one, smash that bit of rebellious spirit to pieces, and make her fear him from the bottom of her heart! Obey him! Make her firmly remember for a lifetime the consequences of provoking him, Mu Wei!

Completely unaware of the approaching danger, the two pretty girls in the kitchen were laughing and working together to cook. Actually, it was a bit early to make lunch, but because He Lele still had to serve Mu Wei his lunch, they had to finish eating early.

"Lele, are you really not considering quitting? My brain must have been fried at the time; how could I have let you come to do this!" Ren Lingyu blamed herself.

"After I finish three months, I'll save some money and quit. You don't have to worry. Besides, I was the one who begged you to introduce me, not you who actively wanted me to come. Actually, most of the time it's fine; they are rarely at home." He Lele comforted her.

"Is that so..."

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Lele, if it's too hard, don't force yourself, okay? If you're short on money, you can come to me first. If I don't have enough, I can borrow some. A job like this with absolutely no time of your own... you really shouldn't do it. Look at you, it hasn't even been a month, and you've lost so much weight!"

"Have I?" He Lele looked down at herself.

"Yes! But your chest is still bigger than mine!" Ren Lingyu lewdly grabbed at He Lele's full breasts!

"Ah—you're ambushing me again! Take this!" He Lele immediately counterattacked, scratching at Ren Lingyu with both hands.

"Ah—hahahaha! Don't scratch! Don't scratch! It's so itchy! So itchy! Ah!"

By the time they finished eating, the living room phone hadn't rung even once, and He Lele's hanging heart finally settled. Letting Lingyu come to the apartment was indeed very risky, because once Mu Wei did something, it was possible for Lingyu to discover that her job wasn't simple. However, she missed Lingyu too, too much. She had spent the whole afternoon yesterday thinking about what might happen and how she should deal with it before finally deciding to invite Lingyu over. Fortunately, Mu Wei didn't do anything.

"Next time, I'll definitely treat you to a big meal outside!" Ren Lingyu poked He Lele's chest with two index fingers. "Although a lean camel is bigger than a horse, you really shouldn't lose any more weight. If you get any thinner, your boobs will deflate!"

"...I know! Drive carefully, okay! Send me a text when you get home."

"Don't worry! My driving skills—Perfect! It's a good thing I didn't become a race car driver; otherwise, what F1, what..."

"Alright! Better safe than sorry. Bye, I have to go serve a certain disabled person."

"Mm! I'll come find you another day!"

Seeing Ren Lingyu's car drive out of sight, He Lele breathed a complete sigh of relief. Humming a little tune, she made lunch for Mu Wei and took it up. Even when feeding him, there were still relaxed smile lines on her face.

"..." Looking at the fresh and pure appearance of the woman in front of him, Mu Wei suddenly felt that something wasn't right in his heart.

How many faces did this woman have... He knew women were fickle and good at disguising, but every one of her faces was so real and natural, scratching his heart until it was itchier and itchier.

But no matter what, since she had offended him, he had to teach her a lesson first!

Estimating that the time was about right, Mu Wei made a phone call. Hearing the information fed back from the other end of the line, Mu Wei was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, it didn't matter.

After hanging up, Mu Wei wiped his mouth with a towel. "He Lele."

"...Yes."

"I have truly never seen a stupider woman than you."

"..."

"One, stupid enough to dare provoke me. Two, stupid enough to put your weakness in front of me."

Weakness! He Lele's face changed drastically, her delicate and gentle eyes suddenly becoming sharp. She took out her phone and dialed Ren Lingyu's number.

A long wait.

Pick up! Lingyu, pick up! I beg you! Lingyu, pick up! You can't be hurt! It was her stupidity! It was all her fault! She only thought Mu Wei would use Lingyu to humiliate her, but she never expected Mu Wei would order someone to directly harm Lingyu!

"Hello, is this Miss He?" Ren Lingyu's phone was finally answered, but a man's voice came from the other end.

"Who are you! Where is Lingyu!"

"Oh, she just had a car accident. I'm taking her to the hospital now. If it's convenient, could you notify her family?"

☆, Chapter 57: Young Female Ghost

When Caesar first saw He Lele... he thought he had seen a ghost again.

At high noon in midsummer, it should have been the time of day with the most Yang energy, but when that girl appeared in the hospital corridor, he realized that the entire floor had become unusually quiet at some point. The girl's chest-length hair hung straight down, not swaying at all as she walked. There was no expression that a human should have on her pale little face, yet her soft, beautiful eyes seemed to hold a heavy, deep, and ruthless malice, like a vengeful ghost coming to claim a life. Her plain white shirt and slim light blue jeans were so ordinary that they didn't have a trace of a living person's aura...
