Chapter 79: Killing with a Borrowed Knife

"It's nothing special. She's just born into a good family. Besides, the Fu family and the Mu family are on good terms," said Fu Geyue, raising her eyebrows as she looked at Feng Yayin and Hu Yanyan.

Hu Yanyan was filled with envy and jealousy.

She had long heard that Mu Li was in love with a young lady from the Fu family, but she never wanted to believe it was Fu Geyue.

"So what? Brother Mu Li likes our Yayin. Yayin, didn't you say you've slept with Brother Mu Li?" Hu Yanyan said in a fit of pique.

Feng Yayin was instantly embarrassed and quickly tugged at Hu Yanyan.

That time Mu Li was drunk. She happened to run into him. No matter how she pleaded, he refused to go back to the room with her.

Finally, he mistook her for someone else and mumbled as he went back to the room with her.

However, before anything could happen, he woke up.

But she couldn't tell people that she had undressed, only to have the man leave her coldly.

Fu Geyue's hand hanging by her side involuntarily clenched.

"Brother Mu Li, you're here," Feng Yayin said as soon as she spotted the man entering the door.

Fu Geyue had her back to him, and her complexion was far from good.

Mu Li was dressed in a simple yet elegant white suit today. His tall and slender figure standing at the door looked like a painting.

He was gentle and refined, yet there was a hidden edge to him.

His cold eyes showed neither joy nor sorrow.

Feng Yayin wasn't sure how much he had heard, so she quickly said with a smile, "I thought we'd meet later. Why are you here now?"

She and Mu Li seemed very close.

Fu Geyue's hand tightened, and her voice choked as she said to Feng Yu, "Xiaoyu, take me away."

Feng Yu held her hand tightly, full of sympathy. Just as they were about to leave, Mu Li moved and blocked their way.

"Where are you going?" Mu Li looked at Fu Geyue.

Fu Geyue lowered her head slightly, making it hard to see her expression.

But Feng Yu could feel her restraint from her trembling hand. "We're going to have dinner. We'll go to Qiteng later. They said there's still something to discuss."

Feng Yu directly mentioned that they still had to go there later.

Mu Li frowned slightly. "Will he be there too?"

By "he", he meant Fu Qianchen.

Feng Yu nodded. "Mr. Fu said Hailan also needs a suitable external publicity representative."

Mu Li gave a soft grunt and let them go.

But his eyes were thoughtful.

Fu Geyue held onto Feng Yu tightly, her heart aching. "Xiaoyu, do you know? I asked him not to help Feng Yayin for my sake. But all he did was warn me not to meddle. But if it's something my brother wants to do, he'll only help my brother. In the end, I really don't have much weight in his heart."

Feng Yu lowered her eyes. "I don't think so. On the contrary, I think Uncle Mu Li really cares about you."

"The way he looks at you is different from the way he looks at Feng Yayin."

"Moreover, he asked about Mr. Fu only because they've been friends for years. He knows Mr. Fu's personality well. Once Mr. Fu decides to do something, no matter how the process goes, the outcome is already set and won't change."

Fu Geyue nodded. "Maybe you're right. But I still can't let it go."

...

Mu Li and Feng Yayin were standing in front of the coffee shop. Feng Yayin said softly, "Brother Mu Li, are you going to Qiteng with me this time?"

Mu Li's dark eyes were deep. He said calmly, "I'm here just to ask you to give up this endorsement."

Feng Yayin's fists clenched involuntarily.

She knew he had a woman he liked.

But she never thought it would be Fu Geyue, Feng Yu's friend!

Jealousy made her nails dig into her flesh.

"You know I'm the spokesperson for the Fu family. I can't afford to offend them," Feng Yayin said softly.

Mu Li glanced at her indifferently. He wondered if she really couldn't afford to offend the Fu family or if she just wanted to use their name to pressure him.

Mu Li's eyes were cold, and he didn't say anything more.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Feng Yayin asked anxiously, "Brother Mu Li, you'll help me, right?"

There was only a faint light in Mu Li's eyes. He said coldly, "I can't afford to offend the person in charge of Hailan either."

Can't afford to offend?

Since Feng Yayin started asking Mu Li for help, she had never heard him say there was something he couldn't do.

This was the first time she heard that there was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

What kind of company was Hailan?

She had never even heard of it. It was obviously an excuse.

It was clear that he just didn't want Fu Geyue to be unhappy!

There seemed to be daggers in Feng Yayin's eyes. She wished she could stab Fu Geyue to death. But on the surface, she still wore a kind and generous smile and said, "In that case, Brother Mu Li, you can go and be busy first. I won't keep you. Yanyan and I still want to go shopping."

Mu Li nodded indifferently and then left.

As soon as Mu Li left, Hu Yanyan couldn't help but say, "Yayin, you're really lucky. Brother Mu Li is cold to everyone except you. Will he help you with this endorsement?"

Seeing the envy in Hu Yanyan's eyes.

Feng Yayin's smile froze on her face. She gently patted her hand and said, "I know you have a crush on that young master from the Bai family. Don't worry. We've been friends for so many years. I'll definitely help you. And isn't Bai Shaoting close to Brother Mu Li? As long as I can get along well with Mu Li, I'll definitely create more opportunities for you and Bai Shaoting. Didn't we say we'd help each other?"

Hearing her words, Hu Yanyan immediately felt relieved. "Sister Yayin, don't worry. I'll definitely help you."

The mysterious richest man was someone they didn't even dare to think about.

That person was out of reach, but the right - hand man of the mysterious richest man was being eyed by all forces.

The noble families wanted to win him over, and the famous ladies wanted to marry him.

Feng Yayin held her hand and sighed. "But after all, Fu Geyue is from the Fu family... The game company won't make things too difficult for them."

Hearing this, Hu Yanyan snorted. "Don't worry. Although she has the Fu surname, she doesn't have much status in the Fu family."

Feng Yayin sighed. "Really? But I see Mu Li is quite close to them. After all, they're two young and beautiful girls..."

Feng Yayin dragged out the words and looked at Hu Yanyan with a smile.

Hu Yanyan's mind was working fast.

When the Mu family and the Fu family were on good terms, Fu Geyue used to hang out with Mu Li and Bai Shaoting all day.

Now there was another young and beautiful Feng Yu. Who knew if her Shaoting would fall in love with her over time?

Just thinking about it, Hu Yanyan felt a chill in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said, "Humph, I'd like to see if anyone will like her after she's disfigured!"

The corners of Feng Yayin's mouth turned up. This was exactly the result she wanted.

She was different from the stupid Feng Qingsheng. She wasn't stupid enough to act on her own.

A smart woman always killed with a borrowed knife.

Only a stupid woman would become a tool for others, like the one in front of her.
