Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Mu Shaoze Misunderstands Zhou Ziqiao

Mu Shaoze sneered softly, feeling like a fool being manipulated and played by others. The guilt that had surged up in his heart just now vanished without a trace.

It was her first time, but wasn’t it his as well?

To like someone, did you really need to resort to such despicable means to achieve your goal?

He was about to turn around and leave when the phone in his pocket vibrated again.

He took it out and saw it was He Xiyue.

He answered the call.

The woman’s pained voice sounded, "Shaoze, could you come over? I slipped and fell in the bathroom and hurt my leg. It seems to be broken, and it’s really painful."

Mu Shaoze instinctively looked towards Zhou Ziqiao, and just then, Zhou Ziqiao also happened to see him.

The irritation of being deceived and played with surged up again, and he said, "Okay, don’t move around. I’ll be right there."

After hanging up, he turned and left.

An Yan sensed something was wrong, "He seems to have misunderstood; I’ll go explain to him."

Zhou Ziqiao shook her head, "No need. He has always thought of me that way. An Yan, after the renovation is done and the team is chosen, I’ll go on a trip with Nanli. From now on, I won’t be coming to Hua Country that often either."

An Yan hugged her, then looked towards Song Nanli, "Nanli, you take her back to the apartment first; I have some things to take care of."

Song Nanli nodded.

An Yan turned and ran in the direction of Mu Shaoze.

Mu Shaoze had just gotten into the driver’s seat, about to start the car when An Yan followed and sat in the passenger seat.

"Why did you come? Weren’t you comforting the Pig Demon?"

An Yan buckled her seatbelt, "Big Brother Four, I see your mouth is quite mean."

"She set me up; am I not allowed to be angry?" Mu Shaoze said with a stern face, starting the car and steering onto the main road.

"You only heard half the conversation and got the wrong idea about someone. On what basis do you think it was Ziqiao who spiked your drink back then, and not He Xiyue?"

"He Xiyue is kind and gentle; she wouldn’t do such a thing."

An Yan was shocked, "Kind and gentle?

Then why did she reject you back then and choose that sculptor?

Clearly, she was after the man’s money. If you had just revealed your background, she would have clung to you like an octopus.

I’ve noticed that when men have their First Love in their hearts, they always come with a filter.

If Ziqiao wanted to drug you, wouldn’t she have had a chance within these five years?

Why wait so long?

And besides, this kind of thing puts women at a disadvantage. Big Brother Four, you’re being frankly too sentimental!"

Mu Shaoze was silent for a while, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, "I just feel uncomfortable because I was schemed against."

"When I drugged myself to get Ayan to rescue me, and when I and An Yirou were kidnapped, I orchestrated it myself, all with the goal of getting close to Ayan. I liked him; I wanted to be near him. If I didn’t harm anyone else, what’s the big deal with a little trick?" An Yan didn’t understand, "What exactly are you so hung up about? Do you really have no feelings for Ziqiao at all?"

Mu Shaoze didn’t utter a word until the car was parked beneath He Xiyue’s building.

"During the five years that Zhou Ziqiao and I were together, she never showed that she liked me, she was the same with everyone. One day, He Xiyue told me that Zhou Ziqiao had warned her several times to stay away from me, saying that she would eventually have me. After that, this incident happened."

An Yan shrugged, "So you believed her?"

Mu Shaoze stayed silent.

"Where does He Xiyue get such credibility from? Big Brother Four, I think you’re pretty smart, but how come you don’t seem as clever as Brother Qiang?"

Mu Shaoze frowned, "Who is Brother Qiang?"

"Bald Qiang from ’Boonie Bears’."

Mu Shaoze: "..."

An Yan asked, "Do you still like He Xiyue?"

"I don’t, but I think she’s had a really hard time."

"Do I have anything to do with you?" An Yan was quite angry, "Zhou Ziqiao, who has liked you for five years, was humiliated by you. Isn’t she pitiful?"

Mu Shaoze pressed his lips tightly together.

An Yan pushed the car door open, "I want to see just how pitiful this He Xiyue really is. Lead the way."

Mu Shaoze got out of the car and went upstairs past An Yan.

Arriving at the third floor, he knocked gently on the door.

Soon after, the door opened.

He Xiyue was only wrapped in a towel, which hung down just a bit past her buttocks.

Her hair was wet, and her eyes red, appearing utterly pitiable.

"Shaoze." She cried out, trying to embrace the man.

Mu Shaoze dodged, and she fell forward.

Suddenly, her forehead was met with a finger.

Looking up, she saw a woman standing in front of her.

He Xiyue covered her chest with her hands and straightened her body, "Are you, An Yan?"

"Just call me Mu Anyan, we’re not that close."

He Xiyue stepped aside to let them in, "Please come in quickly."

Mu Shaoze and An Yan entered the room, and He Xiyue shut the door, limping over to them.

An Yan glanced at her wristwatch, "It took half an hour from your call until we arrived. Have you been wearing just a scarf this whole time? Aren’t you cold in September’s weather?"

He Xiyue looked at Mu Shaoze with a wronged expression, "I lay on the ground after I fell, and only just managed to get up because my leg is in a lot of pain."

An Yan looked towards her leg, "Didn’t you say it was fractured? Let me take a look."

He Xiyue instinctively stepped back.

An Yan moved forward a step and crouched down.

Well, what do you know, the woman wasn’t even wearing underwear.

She gritted her teeth, this was a clear case of a Sima Zhao’s heart everybody knows.

She felt around, "It is indeed a fracture."

He Xiyue wiped her tears, "It really hurts!"

This act reminded her of Su Manxi, who used the opportunity of her hand being broken by that old baby Fu Haichuan to create conflict between her and Fu Shiyan.

She was sick of this green tea bitch. She looked at Mu Shaoze, "I’ll help her get dressed, you call for an ambulance."

He Xiyue frowned, "Didn’t you come by car?"

An Yan smiled lightly, "Do you want my fourth brother to carry you?"

He Xiyue shook her head slightly.

An Yan helped her into the room to change clothes, while Mu Shaoze called for an ambulance.

Shortly after, the paramedics arrived with a stretcher.

He Xiyue lay on the stretcher, her face covered in tear streaks, as she was carried downstairs.

An Yan grabbed Mu Shaoze’s arm, "Her calf fracture wasn’t from a fall, but from external force. Also, she was airing it all out just now. Fourth brother, think about it, why would she do all this? This kind of woman is so cruel to herself, willing to do anything to achieve her goals. I came with you not because I was worried about you being deceived by a green tea bitch, but to clear Ziqiao’s name."

Mu Shaoze: "..." You really are my dear sister.

An Yan patted his shoulder, "Once it’s confirmed that Ziqiao is innocent, get ready to kneel and repent."

Mu Shaoze: "..."

Because of a minor fracture in the middle of her calf, He Xiyue needed to have a plaster cast put on.

After paying the medical bills, Mu Shaoze entered the examination room.

He Xiyue’s eyes were red as she looked at Mu Shaoze, "Shaoze, can you stay with me?"
