Li Chuan asked if she had thought it through, referring to her returning to work.
This point was a bit surprising to them. After all, Mu Yinyin's attitude back then was very firm, prioritizing her family. Although she would still manage some things from here, she wouldn't return to the company.
But now that she said something like this, it caught a few people by surprise.
Mu Yinyin had put a lot into this company. Without her, the company wouldn't have grown to what it was today, so they were naturally grateful to her.
As friends for so many years, they would naturally support whatever she wanted to do.
Mu Yinyin smiled faintly, "Of course, I've thought it through. From now on, I'll focus on our company."
Li Chuan and Gu Xiaoqi were both a little surprised.
Gu Xiaoqi looked her over carefully and couldn't help but ask, "Are you really sure? Then what about Fu Siye...?"
She didn't say anything further after that, the implication was clear to everyone.
Mu Yinyin smirked, "I'm divorced."
For a moment, the room fell silent. The few of them seemed unable to process it.
Li Chuan frowned slightly, "You loved him to death, and you divorced?"
Jiang Ling raised his dark eyes and looked at her without speaking. He knew the whole story, so he had nothing to say.
Mu Yinyin smiled faintly, "Yes, it was all a big dream that ended in nothing, so I should wake up now."
Jiang Ling's gaze deepened, "Let's order first."
"Oh, right!" Gu Xiaoqi quickly handed the menu to Mu Yinyin, "Sweetie, see what you want to eat. Don't be shy today! Order any delicacy you want, Big Boss Jiang is paying!"
Mu Yinyin chuckled and started ordering.
However, she didn't know that at the same time, a group of familiar faces had already entered the private room next to theirs.
As the three of them took their seats, the other two focused their gaze on Fu Siye.
Dyson sat opposite Fu Siye with a roguish grin and said casually, "I heard someone went to the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning?"
Fu Siye immediately raised his cold eyes and stared at him. Even without a word, the oppressive aura was intense.
Dyson, however, was unfazed. He was long accustomed to his brother's demeanor. He merely shrugged indifferently, "Sorry, I was trying to lure a girl to the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning and happened to see you there."
Fu Siye frowned slightly, "What mischief are you up to again? Getting married?"
"Doesn't the old man want me to get married? So I'll get married for him to see! It's a pity I couldn't trick the girl." Saying that, Dyson let out a cold snort and extinguished the cigarette in his hand with some annoyance, tossing it into the ashtray.
Fu Siye frowned and said gravely, "Marriage is a serious matter, don't be reckless. I'm an example."
"You... an example?" Dyson looked at him with a hint of bewilderment, "Honestly, I think Mu Yinyin is quite a qualified wife. You can't be sure about what happened back then, you just blamed it all on her. If you knew the truth had nothing to do with her, would you regret it?"
"Regret?" Fu Siye's eyes were filled with sarcasm as he thought of the not-so-clever trick Mu Yinyin had played that morning, "Marrying her was the biggest regret of my life."
"Tsk." Dyson chuckled, "So after the divorce, you're marrying Nan Shiqing?"
Fu Siye suddenly fell silent.
Lu Tingchen, who had been silent all along, glanced at Fu Siye and said calmly, "Are you treating Nan Shiqing as a responsibility?"
Lu Tingchen was a very good friend of theirs, practically growing up together. He was the CEO of Lu Group, and their family's main business was entertainment companies.
Many famous movie stars were signed to his company.
In the private room, silence fell once more.
A responsibility?
Fu Siye's thin lips tightened into a straight line, and he remained silent.
...
At the same time, Mu Yinyin and the others had been eating for a while.
Knowing that Mu Yinyin had a terrible habit of drinking, no one was allowed to drink that day.
Mu Yinyin recalled how she had gotten drunk a couple of days ago and wanted to go on a date with Fu Siye, wishing she could slap herself. From now on, she would absolutely never drink!
Gu Xiaoqi took a sip of her drink and looked at Mu Yinyin, asking with some confusion, "Yinyin, what are your plans now?"
Mu Yinyin smirked, "To take back everything that belongs to my father. I always thought my dad had a good relationship with He Xia, and I didn't want anything from that family, so I was willing to give it all to them. But then my dad was suddenly involved in drug trafficking and died of a heart attack. They are inextricably linked to this. Naturally, I won't fulfill their wishes anymore, and I will also find out the truth!"
"Greed is insatiable! How could this mother and daughter be so excessive!" Gu Xiaoqi said with gritted teeth.
Li Chuan glanced at her and hit the nail on the head, "How many people who get together later aren't for the sake of profit?"
Mu Yinyin's gaze flickered, and she said with a bitter smile, "My dad and I were too naive. They are truly great actresses."
Gu Xiaoqi immediately grasped Mu Yinyin's hand and said earnestly, "Yinyin! No matter what, we are here! We are your truest friends. No matter what happens, we will unconditionally stand by your side because we believe in you!"
A warmth flashed in Mu Yinyin's eyes, and she smiled, squeezing Gu Xiaoqi's hand back.
Jiang Ling also looked at her, his expression serious, "Just go ahead and do it."
Li Chuan also looked at Mu Yinyin. Although he didn't say anything, the expression in his eyes was no different from theirs.
Mu Yinyin's heart trembled slightly. She smiled bitterly, "So, why did I push away such good friends in the past and maintain that unspeakable family instead?"
She and Fu Siye didn't even have a wedding; it was a secret marriage back then.
Mu Yinyin sometimes felt she wasn't worth it at all.
When the arranged marriage was proposed, she was incredibly excited. But Fu Siye really disliked it and had no intention of getting married. Later, when he was forced, he proposed a secret marriage. She thought as long as they were married, as long as they got the certificate, everything would be fine.
Now, she truly felt she shouldn't have been so foolish as to throw herself into it for love.
"We didn't drift apart! Even though you weren't at the company, we always kept in touch, and our feelings didn't fade because of it. Besides, you're back now, Yinyin. It's good that you're back!" Gu Xiaoqi's grip on Mu Yinyin's hand seemed to tighten again.
Mu Yinyin smiled faintly, "Okay."
Jiang Ling took a sip of his drink and directly changed the subject, "There's a development project in the western suburbs recently. If we secure this project, it can give our company another chance to turn things around."
Currently, their Starry Group was already quite impressive, but many people liked to strive forward and become stronger.
"Western suburbs?" Mu Yinyin had just returned and wasn't too familiar with it.
Jiang Ling nodded, "Yes, the bidding is about to begin. Our company employees have also come up with new plans for the cooperation proposal. You'll need to review them and find a reliable partner. Securing this cooperation will be a major step."
Li Chuan frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "For the partner, only Fu Corporation is the most suitable."
