Chapter 1321: Not This Older Brother

However, even if this was the case back then, she was merely a greenhorn who had not long entered the business industry.

She did not really understand what had happened between the Zheng Family and Mo Yongheng, as well as the big event that took place in the Mo Corporation during that particular year. All she remembered was how Mo Yongheng placed himself in front of so many people and protected the Zheng Family.

In addition, he also helped her out at a later period when she was mocked by others in the shopping mall…

“Saying this might seem a little funny, but I am not that close to Mo Yongheng, and I don’t see him very frequently either. However, I had actually set my mind to thinking that he was a good person; as such, when I discovered that he might be a bad guy, I felt so angry and hated him more than anyone else!”

Even Zheng Yan herself felt that she was sick in the mind as she spoke. Reaching out, she covered her face awkwardly and dared not look into Fan Yu’s eyes.

She felt extremely flustered in her heart.

She could not help it and started to silently scold herself for being so stupid. How could someone be as idiotic as her?

“Do you…”

“I swear that I do not like him! I really did not find him an eyesore because I was rejected by him, and as a result, channeled my love toward him into hate. Think of it properly, I merely saw him a few times and I did not even have the chance to grow my feelings for him. How could I take a fancy toward him just like that!”

Zheng Yan was so agitated that she interrupted Fan Yu.

When she lifted her head, she realized that Fan Yu was stunned by her words.

She herself was taken aback too.

A few seconds later, he finally opened his mouth slowly and said, “I just wanted to ask if you had subconsciously felt appreciative of him because he had once helped the Zheng Family.”

“…”

And so, this was merely what he wanted to ask?

This was awkward…

She had denied everything so quickly earlier on. Now that she thought of it, she realized that her suspicious actions made it seem like she had, in fact, revealed what she had wanted to hide. It was no wonder Fan Yu was stunned by her actions.

“I… Actually…”

“Actually, you do not have to explain anything to me, and I will not read too much into it too. I only felt that Mo Yongheng is not a bad person; even if he had once worked for Mo Kun, it was to protect the elderly head of the Mo Family. In actual fact, he had been protecting the elderly head and Liuliu in secret all along. His silent endurance was much more taxing compared with the rest of us, who had been offering our help directly.”

The corner of Fan Yu’s lips curved up into a gentle smile as he spoke.

Even though he was comforting Zheng Yan, he was also clarifying things on Mo Yongheng’s behalf.

Now that the elderly head of the Mo Family was under Qi Yan’s care, Mo Yongheng no longer had to be so careful around Mo Kun nor continue to receive unjust treatment from him.

“I understand everything now. I will find a chance and apologize to him.” Zheng Yan replied gloomily.

Fan Yu was surprised that she had admitted her mistakes so readily and even wanted to take the initiative to apologize to Mo Yongheng.

There was now an additional hint of admiration in his gaze toward her.

Indeed, Zheng Yan was different from the usual girls.

In addition, if he was not wrong, Mo Yongheng seemed to treat her a little differently from others too…

“Hello!”

Another person appeared at the entrance of the cafe.

Nian Xiaomu had spotted them at the very moment when the glass door was pushed open and she walked toward them with big steps.

Nian Xiaomu leaned toward Zheng Yan and asked straightforwardly, “How’s your conversation going? Are you guys hungry? What shall we eat for lunch?”

Her gaze shifted back and forth between the two of them. When she realized that Fan Yu did not seem any different, but Zheng Yan instead appeared to be much more listless than before, she looked at her with a worried gaze.

“What happened? Did Older Brother Fan Yu bully you?” With a posture that spelled ‘tell older sister if you are feeling aggrieved, I will back you up’, Nian Xiaomu lifted Zheng Yan’s chin and asked.

As Zheng Yan turned around, she hugged her waist and asked, “Did you see Mo Yongheng when you were on your way here just now?”
