Once Ouyang Zhirou and Li had all moved in, the three of them finally let me go. Just as my wonderful solitary life was about to begin, it came to an abrupt end.
"Alright, you all can go now. Tell my dad that I’ll be living with Zhao Lun from now on."
They nodded and left, clearly having been instructed by Ouyang Zhirou beforehand to say it was her decision if Ouyang Xiong asked about it.
Having successfully moved in, Ouyang Zhirou's mood instantly brightened. As she walked into the room, she looked around and clicked her tongue. "This place is a bit too small, don’t you think? Zhao Lun, why would you want to move out here?"
"If you think it's too small, then just stay at home," he replied.
Ouyang Zhirou stuck out her tongue and made a playful face before plopping down on Old Zhao's hideous chair. Looking at the furniture that was at least double what I had, I felt a headache coming on.
"Hey, Zhao Lun, when did you buy this set of tables and chairs from Maguire? This must have cost a fortune—at least a hundred million!"
Upon hearing that amount, I couldn't help but exclaim, "What?! A hundred million?! For these two ugly pieces of junk?!"
After saying that, I seemed to realize something and quickly added, "Maguire? What kind of ridiculous name is that? What kind of decent person would name their child that?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Zhirou looked at me with disdain. "What do you know? He’s a world-renowned furniture designer. Many people line up just to buy things from him. He even had his name changed by a feng shui master."
"I don’t care who he is; anyone who comes up with a name like that can’t be anything good."
Ding-dong! At that moment, the doorbell rang. Hearing the sound made me shiver. Oh no! Could it be Lin Mu Xi coming over?
With a mix of anxiety and unease, I opened the door.
"Hello, sir. Your takeout."
After taking the food and closing the door, I was just about to ask Ouyang Zhirou if she had eaten when her phone rang. She excused herself to take the call in another room. Assuming it was Ouyang Xiong calling, I didn’t pay much attention and started eating on my own.
When I was almost done eating, Ouyang Zhirou came out with a dark expression on her face and looked at me seriously. "Zhao Lun, do you believe in Wang Ju'en?"
Speaking of Wang Ju'en, I had intentionally avoided her these past few days and spoke little with her because I felt she was plotting something. Moreover, after what happened with Lin Mu Xi last time, I hadn’t settled accounts with her yet before getting caught in this mess.
I couldn’t understand why she would go through so much trouble to get close to Lin Mu Xi just to target me through her. As Wang Shang's daughter, she had many ways to achieve her goals; why choose such a time-consuming and laborious method?
"I don’t believe it. What’s wrong?"
After hearing my response, a flicker of barely perceptible malice crossed Ouyang Zhirou's eyes. "Not believing is right. Do you remember I told you there were still two people waiting for you at Lakeside University?"
"I remember."
"One was someone I arranged to trip you up back then; the other is Mo Li’s daughter, Mo Jun."
Upon hearing this, my eyes widened in shock as my mind went blank. Mo Li’s daughter—Mo Jun! She’s at Lakeside University!
My mind was consumed by Mo Jun, and I automatically ignored the fact that Ouyang Zhirou had set me up. I was so agitated that I stumbled over my words—her, her, her; you, you, you; I, I, I.
"Calm down, I haven't finished speaking," she said. "I have people investigating the two of them. Wang Ju'en was frequently seen around Lakeside University while you were hospitalized, and she even met with Mo Jun. After that meeting, Mo Jun applied for a leave of absence from school. Here’s the video. As for Mo Jun, I only had a brief encounter with her. If I had known earlier that she was in cahoots with Su Xuan, I would have dealt with her myself."
I took the phone from Ouyang Zhirou and watched the video play. The person in it was indeed Wang Ju'en, but the person opposite her was only partially visible; I couldn't see their face clearly.
Wang Ju'en meeting Mo Jun! This news hit me like a devastating blow. Damn it! Didn't her father tell me personally that they had reached an agreement with Old Zhao? Wasn't it all supposed to be fine? And now his daughter was starting to stab me in the back!
I admit that when I first heard this news, I was stunned and my mind went blank. After a moment, I managed to say, "What if they just met to talk about something? Surely our dads would notice this right away."
"How would I know? I only sent people to follow them; I didn't send anyone to crawl inside her stomach like a parasite. What they talked about or did is beyond my knowledge. Your dad and my dad are focused on figuring out why Su Xuan targeted you or what other plans she might have. They don't have time to worry about this right now. I'm just warning you to be careful of that woman, Wang Ju'en."
Ouyang Zhirou's words left me speechless; I didn't know how to respond.
"Also," she continued, "don't you think Mu Xi's explanation for meeting that person while dating you was too simple? It feels too weak and unconvincing, doesn't it?"
Her question caught me off guard as my mind raced back to what Lin Mu Xi had said at that time.
