gitimate method.”

Brother Han was such an upright and patriotic young man, but he had even started scheming against others because of her.

She had tarnished the upright Han Zhan.

Han Zhan agreed. “I won’t bully anyone in the future.” After thinking for a moment, he added. “I’ll try my best.”

Song Ci was speechless.

After Cheng Zhanxiong’s funeral, Cheng Yanmo officially appeared as the chairman and executive chairman of Chuan Dong Group at an international major business meeting. Along with him was Li Li, who had recently been promoted to vice-president of Zeus International.

Li Li and Cheng Yanmo met at the banquet after the meeting.

The two of them met and Cheng Yanmo took the initiative to raise his glass to Li Li. “Congratulations on your promotion, CEO Li.” Cheng Yanmo truly admired Li Li, who was only a year older than him and had climbed to his current position with his own capabilities.

Li Li smiled and gave his original words to Cheng Yanmo. “Congratulations to Mr. Cheng for officially becoming CEO Cheng.”

The two of them smiled at each other.

Li Li recalled the scene he saw at the hotel that night. He looked around and waited for no one to notice before asking Cheng Yanmo in a low voice, “CEO Cheng, how is your brother’s recovery?”

Cheng Yanmo heard from Cheng Ziang that on the night he was beaten up, Li Li and Han Zhan had also appeared at the scene.

Knowing that Han Zhan must have something to do with Cheng Ziang being beaten up, and that Li Li had a close relationship with Han Zhan, Cheng Yanmo hid the truth and said, “His health is fine now, but I am planning to send him overseas to further his studies. It won’t be good for him to continue wasting his time here.”

Knowing that “advanced studies” was just a euphemistic way of putting it, Li Li praised Cheng Yanmo’s actions. “It’s time to study hard. He can’t always turn misfortune into good luck.”

“Yes.”

The two of them were outstanding youths and were quickly called away to socialize. Cheng Yanmo had drunk some wine and was slightly tipsy. He sat down on the sofa to take a nap. Not far away, a few business tycoons were smoking and chatting about the recent changes in Wangdong City.

As they chatted, they inevitably started talking about the Mu Family. In the past, Mu Mian would never miss such a place. But now that he was no longer around, everyone sighed.

Even now, those old friends who were on good terms with Mu Mian still couldn’t believe that he was a murderer. “I really couldn’t tell that Mu Mian was such a person.”

“I guess you can’t judge a book by its cover.”

“Sigh, the truly pitiful one is still Madam Mu.” Madam Mu was a beautiful, elegant, and kind-hearted woman. The news of her sudden cerebral hemorrhage and death spread like wildfire and many people felt it was a great pity.

One of the middle-aged men shook his head and sighed. “I still remember that when Madam Mu was young, she was a top-class beauty in Wangdong City. To be honest, I once had a crush on her. But she didn’t have a good taste and didn’t like me. She liked Mu Mian.”

“You’re not the only one. That CEO of the Zhu Corporation is still obsessed with Madam Mu. He is the one who is deeply in love.” Old CEO Zhu loved Du Tingting deeply and remained single all his life.

In that case, Mu Mian was indeed so fortunate that it made one jealous.

“The world is unpredictable!”

[fuzzy]Life was unpredictable and unknown. You never knew what would happen the next moment.

Cheng Yanmo listened listlessly to their discussion about the Mu Family. He got up and was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone say, “That daughter of the Mu Family is called Mu Qiu, right?”

“Yeah. Her nickname is Qiu-er.”

“Oh, yes. I heard that Qiu-er has become a nun. A few days ago, the Dongfang Family’s Madam brought the Young Mistress to Magpie Mountain to pray for blessings. She saw a young female nun who looked quite like Qiu-er from the Mu Family.”

“Really?” Everyone was shocked. The youngest daughter of the Mu Family had become a monk?

Many of the uncles who had seen Mu Qiu felt that it was a pity. “That girl is not bad. She is lovely and kind. Our son wanted to marry her in the past. It would be a pity if she really became a monk...”

Cheng Yanmo listened in a daze, finding it absurd.

Mu Qiu had become a nun?

How could...

A string in Cheng Yanmo’s heart snapped.

Now that she had become a nun, she had heartlessly severed all ties with him and their marriage. He was the one who had initiated the breakup, but now, his chest felt slightly stuffy and heavy.

–

It was drizzling and snowing lightly.

Holding an umbrella, the man climbed up the mountainside and stood in the square, looking up at the temple in front of him.

The words “Moonlight Nunnery” were simple and formal.

Only when the rain had drenched the tips of Cheng Yanmo’s sneakers did he lift his leg and step into the small puddle on the cement floor. The temple was quiet and elegant, slow and peaceful, but it also made one feel at peace.

Cheng Yanmo offered some incense and gave a sum of money for the incense burner. He went alone to the canteen. The rain had already ended and a female disciple dressed in a grey monk robe came to the courtyard with a broom to sweep away the fallen leaves and water.

The female disciple’s back view was tall and slender. She didn’t appear vulgar even when sweeping the floor with a broom. She was wearing a cloth hat that revealed the clean back of her head, without a single strand of hair. Cheng Yanmo stared at that person’s back view, his eyes fixed on it, and even his breathing became shallow.

Carefully, Cheng Yanmo asked, “Xiao Qiu?”

]The female disciple stopped sweeping.

She turned slowly, holding a broom in her hand. Her dark eyes were clear and unprecedentedly clean. Cheng Yanmo stared at Mu Qiu’s face, slightly agitated.

“Xiao Qiu, it’s really you!”

Cheng Yanmo hurried over to Mu Qiu. When he was just one meter away from her, Mu Qiu suddenly clasped her hands together and said in a clear voice, “Benefactor, please stop.”

Cheng Yanmo stopped in his tracks.

He looked at Mu Qiu in shock, feeling very upset.

Mu Qiu gazed at Cheng Yanmo calmly. There was no love or reluctance in her eyes. “Benefactor, my name is Forgetting Dust.” Noticing the shock in Cheng Yanmo’s eyes, Mu Qiu added, “I have already put aside the past. Benefactor, please put down the past as soon as possible and start a new life as soon as possible.”

With that, Mu Qiu turned and continued sweeping the floor.

Cheng Yanmo just stood behind Mu Qiu. Even after Mu Qiu had swept the floor and left with her broom, she didn’t look back at him.

That day, Cheng Yanmo spent the entire day at the Moonlight Nunnery. He ate vegetarian meals and read scriptures. He did everything that Mu Qiu did. When he left, his eyes were bloodshot.

Five days later, a piece of good news hit the headlines of all major newspapers in Wangdong City.

Happy news! Chuan Dong Group’s CEO Cheng Yanmo and the Southern Su Family’s daughter, Su Qing, announced their relationship. The wedding will be held on the 28th of next month!
