Mu Yinyin smiled lightly, "Sister Wan, this matter has passed for a while. I'm not that fragile anymore. Many things have to be experienced step by step, don't they?"
Her voice was exceptionally at ease, completely devoid of the pain she had once endured.
However, Wan Yu knew very well that this was not Mu Yinyin recovering, but rather… she was disguising herself well, controlling her emotions so as not to worry her.
But the more Mu Yinyin acted this way, the more worried Wan Yu became.
Previously, Mu Yinyin had been designing drafts for Nan Shiqing. This was voluntary and there was no issue. The other significant reason why Mu Yinyin did not want to personally participate in design was…
It was Mu Yinyin’s father.
Once, Mu Yinyin liked a design competition where she could participate anonymously, hiding her identity. This was because she had promised Nan Shiqing that she would no longer appear in public to participate in any design events.
This rule made Mu Yinyin eager to design herself.
But…
Things did not go as planned.
It was on that occasion, due to her absence, her negligence, her father was suddenly targeted by Nan Shiqing and her family.
Of course, at that time, Mu Yinyin simply thought her father was gravely ill. In reality, it was that they had poisoned their food that time.
Before she could dwell on it further, Mu Yinyin slowly began to speak, "I truly regret that time. If I had been home, I would have surely noticed the poison in the food, and they wouldn't have been able to harm my father."
Wan Yu said helplessly, "Perhaps your departure that time suited their plans perfectly. If both of you were gone, it would only invite criticism. But with you still around, their suspicions were dispelled."
"Yes…" A deep sarcasm flickered in Mu Yinyin's eyes. The next moment, she smiled lightly, "The events have passed, but the hatred has not. I cannot reclaim what was lost in the past, so I can only seek retribution from them."
"Indeed! It's good that you can think this way! Moving on is a good thing!"
Mu Yinyin responded with a smile, "One must always look forward, right? I know my father would surely want me to live a better life."
Wan Yu sighed softly, "What you say is true. One must move on step by step, one cannot live in the past forever."
"Yes, I know. You don't need to worry about me. How is the situation in the country lately?" Mu Yinyin turned on her phone to speakerphone and simultaneously opened Weibo. She had been busy all day and hadn't checked the online situation.
Although she was notified of events immediately, she still preferred to see things for herself.
Wan Yu immediately replied with a smile, "It's the usual. I'm handling things here, you don't need to fret."
Mu Yinyin acknowledged her. Wan Yu then spoke again, "Since you've decided to compete, do you have any plans? Nan Shiqing will also be competing, won't she?"
"Yes," Mu Yinyin said faintly. "Without me this time, He Xia will definitely arrange for others to help her backstage. It was voluntary before, but now, I will expose the things she has done to her."
"Great! You can finally vent your anger! Is there anything I can do to help? Shall I collect some information here, and when your situation is exposed, I'll add some explosive material?" Wan Yu said with a wicked smile, her voice filled with excitement.
Mu Yinyin smiled lightly, "Yes, then I'll count on you, Sister Wan."
"Don't worry, it's all on me."
Mu Yinyin smiled, "Yes, this competition is not just to expose Nan Shiqing, but also for the fame of Fanxing. Since I've decided to return to the company, I want to develop it well. I will never be a stand-in or a fool for others like before."
"It's even better that you think this way!" Wan Yu's voice was tinged with excitement. "Yinyin, I'm very happy for you for thinking like this."
Mu Yinyin smiled, saying nothing more.
Only those who truly cared for her could see her doing better.
Recalling now, Nan Shiqing's past words of congratulating her seemed so hypocritical.
All fake.
Without further thought, Wan Yu once again said with a smile, "If Fu Si Ye knew your identity this time, I'm afraid his eyes would pop out."
Mu Yinyin's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the next moment she let out a soft snort, "He'll just think I'm even more greedy for profit."
"How is that possible! He'll regret it to his core! That scoundrel! He should know regret! To give up on a woman who was so devoted to him, from now on, you must torment him thoroughly!"
Mu Yinyin pursed her lips. Torment? She wished to stay a thousand miles away from him. Although she often said to Fu Si Ye that he must be regretting it, she knew herself well. His heart and eyes were only for someone else, so how could it be her?
Therefore, saying that was merely to make him less entangled and troublesome.
After all, Fu Si Ye's frequent appearances lately were annoying, and there were many issues.
Seeing Mu Yinyin's sudden silence and lack of response, Wan Yu became a little worried. After all, he was a man she had loved so deeply. She feared that by saying this, it would only make Mu Yinyin recall the painful past.
She immediately and somewhat remorsefully slapped her mouth, scolding herself for always speaking carelessly!
The next moment, she quickly changed the subject and chatted with her for a few minutes.
Mu Yinyin understood Wan Yu's intentions and did not point it out, chatting with her for a while.
Wan Yu then felt a little more relieved and said with a smile, "Alright, it's very late on your end. Get some rest early, and I'll be waiting for your good news! Yinyin, you can do it!"
"Okay, I'll be waiting for your help then, Sister Wan."
"It's a small matter, it's all on me! Alright, you should go to sleep now. Goodnight, my dear."
"Okay, goodnight."
Thus, the two said no more and hung up the phone.
The smile on Mu Yinyin's lips gradually faded. She didn't continue browsing Weibo, but instead put down her phone.
However, in her mind, Wan Yu's words involuntarily echoed.
Fu Si Ye must be regretting it to his core?
Even though she knew it was impossible, what if such a day actually came?
Gu Xiaoqi had said more than once that the goal was to make Fu Si Ye fall in love with her again, and then dump him ruthlessly, to let him know what kind of feeling that was.
How much pain it was!
Taking a shallow breath, Mu Yinyin closed her eyes and pulled the covers over herself.
Forget it.
She could only say that she was blind to have chosen the wrong person. It was her persistence that led to this marriage, causing both of them to suffer and be tormented. It was her immaturity, so how could she blame others?
She did not want to recall the past.
In the future, she did not want Fu Si Ye to be involved in her world anymore.
Let it be this way, let them each find peace.
