Chapter 767 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (14)
Qin Zheng's deep features were shrouded in gloom, and his eyes were cold and devoid of warmth.
Seeing Song Chuyu instinctively step aside to shield Mu Zhou, he pursed his lips, his gaze fixed on Mu Zhou, his voice mocking and full of malice:
"You're pretending you don't know someone after breaking up?"
Mu Zhou frowned slightly, puzzled by his malice:
“In this kind of situation, it would make other people feel awkward to greet them. It’s Xu Ruyuan’s birthday, and I don’t want to affect her.”
She explained the reason very seriously.
For some reason, after hearing her explanation, Qin Zheng's anger dissipated considerably.
Although some dissatisfaction still lingers, my mood has improved considerably.
As expected, Mu Zhou wasn't really ignoring him; rather, he was mindful that this was someone else's home turf, which is why he didn't take the initiative to speak to him.
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, and even his voice was no longer so cold:
"Come here, I'll take you home."
The tone was utterly authoritative, as if certain that Mu Zhou would comply.
They also completely ignored Song Chuyu.
Mu Zhou tilted his head in confusion. Hadn't they already broken up?
Why should he deliver it?
She refused:
"No need, I'll just ride in Professor Song's car."
Qin Zheng paused for a moment, then shifted his gaze to Song Chuyu's face.
A wolf disguised as a gentle and refined intellectual.
This is Qin Zheng's evaluation of Song Chuyu.
He sneered, averted his gaze, and looked back at Mu Zhou:
"Zhouzhou, I think we should have a serious talk."
Mu Zhou shook his head:
"I don't think we have anything to talk about. We've already broken up, so let's not meet alone anymore."
Good girls don't drag things out in relationships.
I would never go back to an old flame.
Mu Zhou's repeated rejections caused a hint of anger to rise in Qin Zheng's eyes.
But he still suppressed his anger and tried his best to soften his voice:
"Zhouzhou, stop making a fuss. Let's solve any problems slowly. Don't treat breaking up like a game."
Mu Zhou was now completely baffled.
"Haven't we broken up a long time ago? What are you talking about?"
Why does he make it sound like they're just having a tiff?
These words caused Qin Zheng's expression to change slightly, and a strong sense of danger filled his eyes.
Song Chuyu calmly blocked Mu Zhou's path.
This action thoroughly enraged Qin Zheng.
His cold voice was filled with hostility:
"Get out of my way, I'm talking to my girlfriend, that's not it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Zhou angrily stepped out from behind Song Chuyu and rebuked him:
"Qin Zheng, what are you doing?!"
Mu Zhou's sudden outburst of anger left Qin Zheng momentarily stunned.
He had never seen Mu Zhou angry.
But now, she's yelling at this hypocritical man for his sake?
His face froze.
Mu Zhou's face turned red with anger. She really didn't expect that Qin Zheng, who seemed so mature and composed, would speak so harshly to Song Chuyu.
In particular, Song Chuyu did not do anything wrong.
Why should he suffer such an undeserved disaster?
She was about to say something more when Song Chuyu grabbed her arm.
The force wasn't great, but it carried a strange sense of trust and power, which made Mu Zhou less angry and silently restrain his sharp edge.
She took a half step back and looked up slightly at Song Chuyu in front of her.
He spoke calmly and slowly, his tone gentle yet unyielding:
"Mr. Qin, please maintain your gentlemanly manners and do what an ex should do. Don't make things difficult for Mu Zhou."
Qin Zheng was furious when he saw Mu Zhou hiding behind him, letting him stand up for her. His face was extremely ugly.
Hearing Song Chuyu's provocative words, he sneered:
"Who do you think you are, interfering in our affairs?"
Qin Zheng's words were excessive, but Song Chuyu remained calm and composed, showing no anger.
"Mu Zhou is my friend, and I won't let her be bothered in front of me."
Struggle?
Ah.
Qin Zheng almost laughed in anger.
He looked over Song Chuyu's shoulder at Mu Zhou behind him, only to see her staring blankly up at Song Chuyu, her eyes shimmering with a faint light.
Qin Zheng clenched his fists, his teeth grinding together.
Lin Chongze rushed out and, seeing the tense atmosphere, quickly stepped in front of him:
"Why are you all out here? Are you leaving? Then goodbye, bye-bye."
He kept laughing and chuckling, but found that no one was looking at him.
He helplessly tugged at Qin Zheng:
"Let's go."
Qin Zheng shook him off, straightened his cuffs, and swept his cool gaze over Song Chuyu before finally landing on Mu Zhou's face.
He has a strong sense of pride, and the fact that he took the initiative to catch up with Mu Zhou and talk to him was already his bottom line.
He shouldn't keep pestering her and make himself lose his dignity.
But he was unwilling to leave just like that.
So he turned around and took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned back.
When Mu Zhou saw him return, looking aggressive and as if he was about to explode in anger.
She instinctively grabbed the hem of Song Chuyu's shirt at the lower back.
Song Chuyu looked down at her and gave her a reassuring look.
Seeing this scene, Qin Zheng felt so suffocated that he almost vomited blood.
Mu Zhou is actually afraid of him?
Suddenly, it became difficult to speak.
He left again, his body stiff.

On the way back, Mu Zhou couldn't help but apologize to Song Chuyu.
What happened today had nothing to do with him; he shouldn't have to suffer Qin Zheng's humiliation.
Song Chuyu's expression was relaxed:
"You're not the one who should apologize, so you don't need to feel pressured."
To divert Mu Zhou's attention, he took the initiative to ask about Mu Zhou's internship.
When the topic of internship came up, Mu Zhou became much more talkative.
She's been busy lately, but her internship ended early, and she can stay at the company now.
After talking for a long time, Mu Zhou had completely recovered from the bad mood he had just experienced because of Qin Zheng.
Upon arriving outside the residential area, Mu Zhou got out of the car, said goodbye, and left.
Watching her retreating figure, Song Chuyu remained silent for a long time without looking away.
His expression remained gentle, but a complex look gradually crept into his eyes.
The car finally restarted after a long while.

As the weather grew warmer, Mu Zhou finally graduated.
She returned to school for the last time and took photos with her classmates.
Her parents ordered a bouquet of flowers for her, and she was signing for it when she discovered that someone else had delivered another bouquet of flowers to her.
There was no card or message on the flowers, so just to be on the safe side, Mu Zhou placed them by the flower bed after receiving them.
Not long after I left, another food delivery call came in.
"Flowers again?"
Mu Zhou was filled with doubt.
This time, however, there was a card on the flower.
Wishing you a bright future.
It was a simple sentence, signed by Song Chuyu.
The handwriting above was written by Song Chuyu.
His handwriting is quite different from his gentle nature.
His calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, with a hidden sharpness.
Mu Zhou admired it for a moment, signed for it, took a picture, and sent it to Song Chuyu.
Thank you for the flowers, I have received them.
Song Chuyu did not reply, probably because he was in class.
Mu Zhou then started taking pictures with the bouquet of flowers.
After she finished her work, she was about to take off her graduation gown when she turned around and saw a man in a suit in the crowd.
Qin Zheng stood there with his hands in his pockets, having stood there watching Mu Zhou for who knows how long.
Mu Zhou frowned.
Why is he at school?
