Liang Zhou took the tissue that Mu Qing handed to wipe her eyes. When she lowered her head, her eyes flashed briefly with a cold light.

Mu Qing had dinner at home and spent the night as well. He turned a deaf ear to the dozen or so notifications from his phone.

Liang Zhou sneered inwardly. She had gotten rid of her desire to fight for this man. However, she was still very happy that she was able to make Ye Xin unhappy. Despite her determination, her tears still fell when she looked at the exhausted man who was sleeping next to her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

‘It’s all retribution! This is my retribution! Liang Zhen, you must be very happy now, right? Those who steal won’t have a good outcome. Look at me. I’ve lost everything. I even lost myself…’

…

The next morning.

When Mu Qing looked at the smoked ham sandwich on his plate and looked at the porridge and vegetarian dishes in front of Liang Zhou, he could not help but feel touched again. He asked, “Do you really have to eat vegetarian dishes every meal?”

Liang Zhou smiled as she ate a spoonful of porridge. Then, she said, “Mu Qing, it’s just a matter of getting used to it. In the beginning, I had a sense of mission. However, when I ate only vegetarian dishes on the 15th of the Lunar New Year, I actually thought about giving up. Life’s too hard as it is, after all. Why should I make things even more difficult for myself?”

Mu Qing nodded as he listened.

“However, after I persisted, I found that it wasn’t difficult at all. Moreover, when I saw President Dong’s wife crying and thanking Buddha, I was even more determined. You’ve heard about President Dong, right? He had a stroke last year, and his assets were almost divided and gobbled up by his son,” Liang Zhou said, “At that time, Madam Dong decided to devote herself to Buddha. She followed the master’s words and became very pious. Sure enough, President Dong recovered! Even the doctors were amazed by his recovery. Madam Dong said it was Buddha’s blessing. Mu Qing, with this real-life example, how can I not believe it? It’s just food anyway. We’ve been through so much for so many years. When I recall your gentleness and how hard you worked for us, I feel it’s the least I can do. As long as you’re healthy and you’re successful, I’m willing to do anything.”

Mu Qing was moved by Liang Zhou’s words again.

Liang Zhou pushed a glass of milk in front of Mu Qing and said, “Hurry up and eat. Don’t you have to go to the company again? My biggest regret is I can’t help you with your career like Liang Zhen. Fortunately, you’ve never despised me for that. The things I can do for you are really insignificant in comparison.”

Mu Qing found the Liang Zhou in front of him refreshing. It felt as though he had returned to the days twenty years ago when he was deeply in love. At that time, she had been very sensible and gentle, a stark contrast to the fiery-tempered Liang Zhen. From last night until now, his entire person felt incomparably comfortable. Moreover, Ye Xin’s feelings were too strong, not everyone could endure it.

Before Mu Qing left, he thought about it for a moment before he casually asked, “Are you very close to Madam Ye recently? Both of you were on the news.”

Liang Zhou lowered her gaze and said somewhat embarrassedly, “I’m sorry. Did I cause you trouble? I was forcefully dragged by her. She cried so pitifully so I went with her. I didn’t expect the matter would blow up. Don’t worry. This has nothing to do with our family. I’ll avoid her in the future.”

Liang Zhou’s docile attitude made Mu Qing’s heart extremely warm. He said gently, “It’s normal for you to socialize with the other Madams. However, the incident this time is too dangerous. I came back to see if you were hurt.. It’s not our family’s matter, but you had to suffer because of it.”
