She let out a light snort, disdainfully turning her eyes away, as the resentment in her heart quietly grew, like bamboo shoots breaking through the ground after the rain.
Taking advantage of Gu Lvq Qi going to the restroom, Yue Qingchen also followed out from the private room and stepped into the restroom.
After Green Qi came out, she immediately saw Yue Qingchen standing by the countertop glaring at her. She paused for a moment but ultimately walked over. Even though she felt guilty towards her, the problem was not solely hers; Mu Tongzi also had responsibility. Even if it was unfair to Yue Qingchen, she couldn't say much.
After all, the decision regarding this matter lay in Mu Tongzi's hands. She never wanted to be the third party; if he was willing to let go, she wouldn't have found herself in such a difficult situation.
As soon as she approached, Yue Qingchen angrily shouted, “Gu Lvq Qi, don’t think I don’t know what your relationship with Tong is! You’re just a shameless mistress who intrudes on other people's relationships. Do you really think you can hide it from everyone? I don’t care what feelings you have for Tong; you better stay far away from him!”
“Vice President Yue, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Turning to the side, Green Qi looked at her with a calm expression, trying hard to remain composed, fearing that she might fall into her probing trap.
“Don’t play dumb with me! I already know everything. Even if he’s confused for a moment, you’re a married woman who repeatedly puts a green hat on your husband. Don’t you have any shame? Even if your husband can’t satisfy you, you could easily find a man who matches your nouveau riche status. Why do you have to provoke Tong? With Tong’s status, you should consider whether you're worthy of him!”
“Since Vice President Yue says so, then I have nothing to hold back. You say I’m provoking him; why not say he’s provoking me? If you’re so confident and if Mu Tongzi loves you enough, why are you here loudly accusing me? The saying goes that it takes two to tango; I’m sure Vice President Yue understands this. Instead of shouting at me here, why not go back and ask your beloved Tong who is really provoking whom?”
“You... You are truly shameless! A nouveau riche is just a nouveau riche—no upbringing, no character, no morals. I warn you, if you keep clinging to Tong, I won’t let you off!” With a cold snort, she raised her head proudly and bumped heavily into Green Qi as she passed by.
The sudden impact caused Green Qi to fall to the ground. Her right hand, which had not yet recovered from an earlier injury, instinctively braced against the fall and sent sharp pain coursing through her body, making her break out in cold sweat.
The restroom door slammed shut with a bang as Green Qi lay on the floor with a pale face. Her back throbbed painfully while her right hand hurt deeply; the ache in her limbs left her without the strength to stand up.
After struggling for some time to recover, she finally took a deep breath and slowly pushed herself up with her left hand. Looking at her reflection in the mirror—sweaty and pale—she forced a bitter smile, wiped her face, grabbed some tissue to dry her hands, and then turned to leave the restroom.
When she returned to the private room, Mu Tongzi seemed to notice that something was off with her expression. He frowned and glanced at the smug-looking Yue Qingchen, his handsome face instantly darkening.
Getting up from the chair, he tilted his head and nodded to a few friends. "Today is Kang's Girlfriend's birthday, and I need to celebrate it with her later, so I can't stay with you guys. Let's meet another day!"
"Sure!" The friends who came with him nodded in agreement, clearly noticing that his expression was off, and they didn't dare to keep him any longer.
Turning his head, he glanced lightly at Yue Qingchen. "I've already called the driver to come over and take you home."
"And you?" Standing up, Yue Qingchen looked at him nervously. She had thought he would take her home but was surprised to hear he had sent the driver instead.
"Didn't I say? It's Kang's Girlfriend's birthday. We grew up together, so of course, I have to show up. Are you going too?"
Yue Qingchen glanced at Gu Lvq Qi, who was preparing to leave, then looked at Yin Xiyin, who was linked to her arm. Reluctantly, she raised her head. "I'll go too!"
If she didn't keep a close eye on things, they might have another chance to be together. With her around, they probably wouldn't dare to act recklessly!
"Did you forget the condition of your loss? If you want to go, Miss Yin probably won't welcome you." As he spoke, he turned to look at Yin Xiyin, whose pale face suggested she could barely stand. A hint of pain flickered in his dark eyes.
"I'm sorry, but I would prefer not to have Miss Yue grace my birthday! Mu Shao, if you come with her, my birthday won't be enjoyable. If I'm unhappy, my translation will also be unhappy!"
What was clearly a spoiled remark made Yue Qingchen frown because she knew better than anyone that Kang Yiming was a favorite of the old man and absolutely could not be offended. If he ended up unhappy because of his girlfriend and complained to the old man later, she would be the one losing out.
She hadn't planned on joining the festivities anyway; since she wasn't welcomed there, she had even less reason to make things difficult for herself.
"Whether you go or not is up to you." Standing aside, Mu Tongzi took the receipt from the waiter and signed it before turning to leave the private room without waiting for Yue Qingchen's response.
"Tong..." Yue Qingchen hurriedly chased after him, linking her arm with his and deliberately lowering her tone. "Then I won't go. I'll head home first. Remember to let me know when you're back in A City; I'll go back with you!"
"Let's talk about it later!" he replied impatiently.
When they reached the door, the driver had already brought the car over, followed by Kang Yiming's vehicle. After sending Yue Qingchen off, he turned to look at the figure emerging from the moon gate, raised his hand to check the time on his watch. "I've booked the Living Center on the fifth floor of Metai Center. You all go ahead; I'll catch up later!"
"Okay, hurry up! We'll wait for you!"
"Sure!" Nodding, Mu Tongzi turned to glance at the woman who was silent with her head down, sighed lightly, and ultimately said nothing.
Watching the departing car, Qi Wenran, who had driven over, honked the horn. Hearing the sound, he slowly regained his composure and turned to sit in the passenger seat.
The car smoothly glided onto the road as night fell, and the vibrant nightlife of the city officially began.
Tilting his head, Mu Tongzi silently watched the rapidly passing night scenery outside the window, but in his mind lingered the pale face of that woman and her restrained expression, causing a sharp pain in his chest.
Inside the high-performance sports car, there was a quiet atmosphere, with only the faint sound of the engine barely audible.
The man in the driver's seat glanced at Mu Tongzi and recalled what he had casually said at the dining table. He couldn't help but furrow his brow. "Why were you so irrational when ordering? That's not like you."
In his impression, he had never seen him lose control for anyone, not even losing his usual self-discipline and calmness.
Clearly, he didn't want Yue Qingchen to know about this secret relationship, yet it was he who let it slip. He had always been cautious; he couldn't understand why he made such a mistake.
