Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 716: Feeling Guilty

Su Wanxin: "But I think he won’t propose to you too soon, because he also needs to be sure that you are really compatible and can be together for a lifetime."

Su Yao furrowed her brows suspiciously at her: "The way you talk, it sounds like you know him very well."

"Jealous?"

"How could I be? I just think you’re idealizing him too much! He’s not as good as you say!"

"But I’ve known him longer than you have. I think he really is that good," Su Wanxin smiled. "Though I don’t remember the past events, intuition doesn’t lie."

Su Yao fell silent for a while before shifting the topic back to her.

"You still haven’t told me who that man you were phoning actually is!"

She had been so engrossed in answering her question, she nearly forgot about this matter again!

Su Wanxin: "I told you this afternoon, he’s just an old friend."

"And his name? Why did you take the call from Lu Ci behind my back?"

Su Wanxin: "...Mistake."

If given another chance, she would definitely sit calmly on a chair, not reacting so drastically just out of momentary guilt.

If she had taken the call while sitting there, even if she rejected Mu Xinghan, neither Su Yao nor Lu Ci would suspect; they’d just think that she was turning down a client or suitor.

But her hiding definitely signaled a problem.

Su Wanxin felt that she had water in her brain at that moment.

Worried that Lu Ci might find out about her and Mu Xinghan and tell Fu Shihan, and worrying that Fu Shihan might get angry, she did something foolish.

Su Wanxin: "The person who called me is Mu Suyu’s brother."

Su Yao: "!!!"

Su Yao’s eyes widened immediately, remembering the events of a few days ago.

That day, Fu Shiyi took her and Su Wanxin for a stroll on the film set. After returning to the hotel, Su Wanxin told her about encountering Mu Xinghan at the set and him confessing to her.

"Fu Shihan knows Mu Xinghan, and it’s likely that Lu Ci does too. That’s why I was a bit guilty at noon and made a mistake," Su Wanxin lamented. "It won’t happen again next time."

"Are you still in touch with Mu Xinghan privately?"

Su Yao found that a bit strange.

Su Wanxin clearly knew that Mu Xinghan liked her, and she didn’t like him back. So, why would she continue to interact with him, giving him hope and chances?

Her sister wasn’t the type to lead someone on without any intentions of being involved.

"Probably because I think he’s not bad," Su Wanxin self-mockingly smiled. "Next time, I’ll let you meet him. He’s quite handsome, has a different vibe from Fu Shiyi."

"Don’t fool me. I don’t believe you really think he’s handsomer than Fu Shiyi."

Despite often criticizing Fu Shiyi, Su Yao had to admit that the shameless guy was indeed very handsome.

"Baby, are you still not made up with Fu Shiyi after your fight? I feel like you’ve been a bit unhappy lately."

"Really? Maybe it’s just work pressure. Hua Zheng is about to launch, and I have a lot to handle, wishing there were 48 hours in a day."

In three days, the launch ceremony of Hua Zheng will take place, and she will make an appearance, already anticipating the reactions of people and probable questions from the media.

"Don’t worry, I’ll adjust well. Fu Shiyi treats me really well, it’s me who’s always picking fights.

I contacted Mu Xinghan because I wanted to find Mu Suyu. That girl has recently disappeared off the grid. No idea which corner of the world she’s run off to."
