Chapter 635 Especially You
Ziyue glanced at Hanyan.
Even though Hanyan wore thick makeup, Ziyue could see the fine lines in the corner of her eyes. Moreover, the skin on her face seemed dry. Even the exquisite makeup could not conceal those flaws as Ziyue looked at her from a close distance.
While they were at the studio, the bright lights and Hanyan's distance from Ziyue concealed those flaws from her.
Now that Hanyan was right beside her, Ziyue could see everything.
Ziyue looked away and answered, "I am doing well compared to you."
Hanyan tightened her grip on her purse and looked at Ziyue fiercely.
Her gaze was so ferocious that Ziyue could not pretend not to notice.
Still, Ziyue did not care.
After all, she knew Hanyan could not do anything to her.
Since Gricy pushed Hanyan into the public eye and heavily promoted her, her mission probably did not involve killing someone.
Hanyan regarded Ziyue's calm expression and sullenly pulled out a box of cigarettes from her purse.
She lighted a cigarette and began to smoke.
It was not a lady's cigarette, and the smell left Ziyue choking.
She could not stand the cigarette smell and frowned. "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."
Hanyan remained silent and continued smoking.
Ziyue took another glance at her before getting up to leave.
She had only walked a few steps when Hanyan's voice sounded behind her.
"You have better enjoy your good days while it lasts."
She spoke slowly and languidly. Her voice gave Ziyue the impression of a poisonous snake crawling up her body.
Ziyue could not resist turning around to look at Hanyan again.
The thick makeup made her seem seductive. She blew puffs of smoke into the air and glared at Ziyue sinisterly.
She looks like a beautiful snake.
Ziyue concluded in her mind.
"Do you speak from experience?" Ziyue smiled and continued, "But we have vastly different lives and made completely different choices. Therefore, your experience means nothing to me."
Her words caused Hanyan's expression to stiffen. She looked at Ziyue threateningly.
Then, she replied coldly, "You and Muchen will suffer, especially you!"
She crushed the cigarette in her hand and glared at Ziyue with eyes ferocious as a wolf's. It felt like she would attack Ziyue and tear her up at any moment.
"I think I get it. Your life must have failed so much that you say those harsh words to satisfy yourself." Ziyue seemed unbothered by Hanyan's threats.
Hanyan was stunned for a moment before laughing hysterically. "You don't even know you're on death's door. What a stupid woman."
Her loud voice prompted a few passersby to look their way.
Although Ziyue knew Hanyan was hinting at something, she was not in the mood to continue the conversation and turned around to leave.
She could still sense Hanyan staring at her as she walked away.
Her gaze was cruel and vicious.
…
Although Ziyue and Hanyan did not speak much during their meeting, Ziyue could sense Hanyan's emotional instability. She also noticed Hanyan had become more vicious than before.
Ziyue did not know what Hanyan's life was like in recent years. However, she learned from observing Hanyan that she had a difficult life.
Two years ago, Hanyan gave Ziyue the impression of a calculative and organized person who was good at concealing her true nature.
But now, her character changed drastically. It meant her experience in recent years shattered the friendly and elegant pretense she had in the past and revealed her underlying nature.
She had become impatient and unstable.
Thus, even though Hanyan had grown more vicious, she was easier to deal with than before.
Ziyue came to see Hanyan not to do anything or learn something from her. She only wanted to test the waters.
Gricy was like an invisible claw hanging over them. No one knew when it would reach out to them. Thus, all they could do now was to snoop around any warning signs. At this moment, Hanyan was their only lead for them to discover something.
Neither side dared to strike for now.
The presidential election was ongoing, and Muchen and Gricy were involved. Therefore, Gricy could not directly act against Muchen or LK Group and could only scheme secretly.
Ziyue was so engrossed in her thoughts that she did not notice her phone was ringing.
It was a call from Muchen.
She accepted the call and asked, "Is your meeting over?"
"Where are you?" Muchen asked sternly.
His question made Ziyue realize something. "Are you at the company?"
Muchen did not say anything, but his silence amounted to an affirmation.
Sensing his fury, she glanced around and found a taxi passing by. She stopped it immediately and got in before explaining to Muchen, "I'll be there soon. Let's talk when I arrive."
The taxi soon arrived before LK Group's entrance.
Ziyue saw Muchen while she was still in the taxi. He stood expressionlessly at the company's entrance.
He was still dressed entirely in black. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
However, his shirt sleeves were slightly rolled up, and his hands were thrust into his pants pockets. He stood still as a statue.
If he were a statue, he would be the most handsome statue Ziyue had ever seen.
Ziyue paid the fare and rushed out of the taxi to Muchen. She held his arm and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't know you would be back to pick me up."
Muchen raised his eyebrows. His fury became even more apparent. Ziyue rubbed her hand on his chest and coaxed, "Don't be angry. Let's go home first. It's getting late. I have something to tell you once we're home."
Muchen glanced at her. Although angry, he did not object and followed her into the car.
Once they were seated, Ziyue finally confessed to where she had been. "I went to see Hanyan."
Muchen's aura turned threateningly cold upon hearing her.
He scolded, "Why did you meet with her? I'll deal with her myself."
Ziyue sighed softly. She knew he would react this way.
"Can you not react like this whenever I do something you dislike? I considered it carefully before deciding to meet her."
It was pointless to fight with Muchen, so Ziyue could only explain the matter to him gently.
Muchen's expression calmed a little after he heard her explanation.
"Gricy is bound to meddle in the presidential election. You are also busy with election matters recently. Thus, they haven't had time to move against us. That's why they sent Hanyan out to distract us. They want us to know that they are always watching us…"
Ziyue suddenly turned pale.
Muchen noticed her expression and held her to comfort her.
"Please continue."
