Damn it!
This Xu Mu, once again ruining his chances with Su Yaya.
"Brother Xu Mu!"
Su Yaya's face lit up with surprise upon seeing Xu Mu. "What are you doing here?"
"The house ran out of vegetables, so I came to buy some, planning to go back and cook."
Xu Mu lifted the large and small bags he was carrying.
"What? Brother Xu Mu actually knows how to cook?"
Su Yaya's eyes sparkled.
He plays the piano so well, and he can even cook.
Does he have to be so perfect?
Who was it that spread rumors that Xu Mu was a prodigal son? Su Yaya promised not to beat them to death.
[Favorability +30]
Xu Mu was surprised to see the popping number. He hadn't even intended to try and raise her Favorability yet.
It felt like it was just being handed to him.
He remembered that Su Yaya's Favorability was negative before, but now it had long since become positive.
Lin Yan also noticed Su Yaya's gaze, and the jealousy in his heart grew stronger.
The ordinary man he once was no longer existed.
Ever since he went abroad as a mercenary, no one had dared to snatch something he set his sights on, until now.
Lin Yan's expression froze, then a smirk suddenly played on his lips.
"Xu Mu! You know those two guys from just now, I think they're the ones you hired, aren't they?"
Lin Yan suddenly pointed at Xu Mu and coldly demanded.
Xu Mu heard this and inwardly sneered.
He hadn't even exposed Lin Yan yet, and Lin Yan was already trying to frame him.
Su Yaya and Wang Ying exchanged glances upon hearing this.
Truth be told, those two men did indeed flee when they saw Xu Mu.
"I understand now! You deliberately found them to cause trouble, then you wanted to be a hero saving the beauty and win Yaya over, right?"
Lin Yan feigned a look of sudden realization. "You're disgusting!"
"Brother Xu Mu..."
Su Yaya clutched the tote bag in her hand, which held the razor she bought for Xu Mu.
She recalled the rumors about Xu Mu. Was he really trying to do something like that?
Xu Mu saw Su Yaya's expression at this moment and gently shook his head. "Sigh, it's hard to reveal the truth, sometimes I don't want to expose it, as it would make both sides look very bad."
"Expose the truth? The truth is you deliberately found people, then wanted to be a hero saving the beauty to gain Yaya's Favorability!"
Lin Yan sneered.
"But I just saw those two men with you."
Xu Mu said expressionlessly.
"Hahahaha! Yaya! Look at him, he's starting to talk nonsense! If we were together, would I let them hit me?"
Lin Yan gave a few mocking laughs.
"Yaya, come with me."
After Xu Mu spoke, he carried his bags and walked towards his car.
"Yaya, don't go. Don't you know what kind of person Xu Mu is?"
Lin Yan said from the side.
Su Yaya hesitated for a moment but decided to follow.
No matter what, she had to see the truth revealed.
Since Xu Mu was so calm, he might really have evidence.
Wang Ying followed behind Su Yaya.
Lin Yan, on the other hand, smiled. As a soldier king, how could he fight a battle he wasn't sure of winning?
Earlier, he had already sabotaged the surveillance cameras in this outdoor parking lot.
Even if Xu Mu really saw the three of them together, there would be no evidence.
Xu Mu stopped next to his Cadillac. He opened the car door and placed his purchases in the back seat.
He turned to look at Lin Yan, who had followed him, and calmly said, "Buddy, this is my car."
Lin Yan's expression changed slightly upon seeing this.
Could it be...
"Yaya, please wait."
Xu Mu sat in the driver's seat, reconnected the dashcam, and downloaded the new video.
He wouldn't let anyone get a handle on him; if they saw the previously downloaded footage, the time wouldn't match, and it might be seen as intentional.
After Xu Mu finished downloading, he opened the video, dragged the progress bar, and then handed his phone to Su Yaya.
Wang Ying, who was nearby, also tilted her head to watch.
In the video, Lin Yan walked in front, with the two burly men closely following him like subordinates.
They walked straight past this car.
Lin Yan felt utterly mortified. The surveillance cameras were destroyed, but he hadn't expected there to be a dashcam!
Why did this kid just happen to appear here?
Damn it!
[Fate Points -50]
"Do you know why I didn't expose you just now?"
Xu Mu looked at Lin Yan with a calm expression. "Because I could tell you like Yaya. Although your method was wrong, I didn't need to ruin it. I just didn't expect... you would try to turn the tables on me."
Su Yaya's gentle face also turned cold at this moment.
She first glanced at Xu Mu, then at Lin Yan.
What a stark contrast.
One was a graceful gentleman, the other a shameless villain!
Su Yaya almost wanted to slap herself for having doubted Xu Mu for a moment.
[Favorability +30]
"Get out! I don't want to see you again! If you bother me again in the future, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Su Yaya shouted at Lin Yan.
"Yaya! I... I didn't mean it, I just... I like you too much!"
Lin Yan hurriedly explained.
"Brother Xu Mu, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might still be in the dark, falling for his trick!"
Su Yaya came to Xu Mu's side and returned his phone.
"It's nothing."
Xu Mu smiled. "I'll see you to your car."
"Mm."
Su Yaya nodded.
Lin Yan's face was dark throughout, frozen in place.
After Xu Mu saw Su Yaya and Wang Ying to their car, he walked back here.
He didn't pay any attention to Lin Yan, getting straight into his car.
However, Lin Yan, still standing, called out to him. "Xu Mu, Su Yaya is the woman I've set my sights on. Stay away from her in the future."
"I know you like her, but your method is wrong," Xu Mu said calmly.
"Stop faking it! What kind of person you are, do you think I don't know?"
Lin Yan growled, then turned and left. "I've warned you. Provoke me, and it won't just be you; your entire Xu family will suffer the consequences!"
Xu Mu watched his retreating back and sighed, "Why does he feel like the villain?"
However, on second thought, it made sense.
These protagonists, relying on their destiny and luck, were accustomed to being overbearing.
Only they could gain advantages, only they could reap benefits.
Now that they were suddenly losing out, they were bound to be furious.
Xu Mu checked his Righteousness Points and found he could draw six more times.
As for Fate Points, they had reached 94.
He didn't plan to convert Fate Points into Righteousness Points for draws; instead, he decided to enhance others.
First, his own father.
With such a loving father, Xu Mu decided to treat him well.
As for others, that could wait for later.
...
Ye Tong was currently sitting on the bed in Ye Yu's room.
The two had spent the entire day talking.
The topic was always just one thing: Xu Mu.
"Sis, I still think it's necessary to say something: can you keep the noise down at night?"
Ye Yu sat on the sofa nearby, looking at Ye Tong.
Ye Tong's face instantly turned deep red.
She knew Ye Yu was next door, and she had tried her best to restrain herself.
But she felt that she truly couldn't help herself.
"Oh, right! I forgot, it's time to make dinner."
Ye Tong suddenly stood up. "Lest Xu Mu gets off work and has to wait another twenty minutes."
"Sis! Xu Mu still needs more testing. Maybe his kindness to you yesterday was just to get you into bed."
Ye Yu also stood up. "If you ask me, he definitely won't come back today. Men are all big pig trotters; once they get what they want, they don't cherish it anymore."
