Chapter 196 Who Do You Believe?
Mo Ze reached out and pulled Shen Nian onto his lap, hugging her from behind. He gently rested his chin on Shen Nian's shoulder and softly asked, "Are you awake?"
Shen Nian blushed with embarrassment and nodded, "Yes, I'm awake."
"Are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you," Moze asked again.
Shen Nian tilted her head and thought about it seriously for a moment, "Hmm, I want to eat rice cake soup."
"Okay, I'll make you some rice cake soup." Mo Ze replied with a smile.
The two sat embracing for a while, then Mo Ze got up to cook rice cakes for Shen Nian.
Shen Nian followed him into the kitchen and stood guard by the kitchen door, as if worried that Mo Ze might disappear.
Moze let her have her way.
He was inside cutting rice cakes and boiling water, while she leaned against the doorframe watching, a smile on her face, as if she couldn't get enough of looking at him.
Mo Ze would occasionally turn back to look at Shen Nian, a smile on his face, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
Suddenly, Shen Nian spoke softly, "Uncle~"
Moze turned around and looked over. "What's wrong? We'll be eating soon. Are you hungry?"
Shen Nian shook her head, biting her lip as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Mo Ze turned off the stove, walked over to her, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Under Mo Ze's gaze, Shen Nian still asked, "Uncle, what happened last night?"
Mo Ze's incident occurred at the Shen family's banquet, which made Shen Nian very uneasy.
If it weren't for helping her manage the Shen family business, the uncle wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
She even felt somewhat guilty.
This time Lu Cheng was there, but what if there's a next time? Will the uncle fall for it again?
just in case......
She dared not think.
Moze knew what she was thinking. He hadn't planned to tell her so soon, but he couldn't hide it from her any longer.
After all, she's Shen Nian's friend. Whether she knows it or not, this girl is bound to overthink things.
Mo Ze took Shen Nian's hands and said, "Nian Nian, I didn't want to tell you about this so soon. I know you'll keep thinking about it if I don't tell you."
Shen Nian looked into Mo Ze's eyes, and the two stared at each other.
She gleaned some clues from Mo Ze's somewhat ambiguous words.
This seems to have something to do with her!
“Uncle, tell me, I want to know,” she said to Moze firmly.
Mo Ze looked at her in silence for a few seconds, and finally said a name, "Wu Sisi".
Shen Nian's eyes widened instantly, and she asked incredulously, "Sisi?!"
Moze nodded. "Yes, it's her!"
"Sisi, what happened to her?" Shen Nian had considered many possibilities, but she never thought it would be Wu Sisi. She even thought it might be one of the old foxes in the company who were veterans. They might be resentful and wanted to frame the uncle, so they came up with a wicked idea and drugged him.
What, it could be Sisi!
She was one of her few good friends. They had lived together for four years, spent every day together, worked part-time together, ate instant noodles together, and studied together. How could what happened last night have anything to do with her?
Shen Nian couldn't believe it.
Her bewildered expression made Moze feel sorry for her, but he had no choice but to tell her the truth.
“She drugged me last night and then took me to a hotel room…” Mo Ze explained, but he didn’t finish the sentence, which Shen Nian guessed.
Taking a man to a room after drugging him—the intentions are obvious.
“Don’t worry, nothing happened between us. Lu Cheng came and brought me back,” Mo Ze continued.
Although nothing happened, Sisi...
She actually had such thoughts and even acted in such a way!
The betrayal by her best friend caused Shen Nian great distress.
"How could Sisi do this? How could she do this to me? How could she do this to me!" Shen Nian muttered to herself in disbelief.
She still couldn't believe that Wu Sisi would treat her like this.
She knew perfectly well that the man and she were already married, that they were husband and wife, how could she do this!
Shen Nian's face showed sadness.
Mo Ze gently pulled her into his arms and held her without saying another word.
He received a call from Lu Cheng in the morning. Wu Sisi must have had someone pulling the strings behind the scenes. For example, who sold her that packet of medicine? She certainly didn't have the means to do so herself.
He'll deal with this matter properly once he's thoroughly investigated everything.
After eating the rice cake, Shen Nian went to take another nap.
She was initially very impulsive and wanted to go to Wu Sisi herself and question her about why she did this.
In the end, they didn't do that.
Even though Wu Sisi had clearly done something wrong and wronged her, Shen Nian seemed even more unwilling to face her.
She stayed home for the entire weekend, feeling lazy and doing nothing. Her mind seemed to be completely occupied by the name "Wu Sisi." She really couldn't understand why Wu Sisi would do such a thing!
Mo Ze hasn't gone out these past two days, staying home with Shen Nian, quite worried about her mental state.
But Shen Nian kept saying that she was fine, she just wanted to be alone to think things through and process things on her own.
Tell Moze not to worry about her.
How could Moze really ignore it? Anyway, he stayed at home with them, being served good food and drink.
On Monday, he asked Shen Nian and himself for a day off, planning to get some rest.
Shen Nian didn't refuse. She now knew that she wasn't suited for work because she simply couldn't calm down and think about work-related matters.
It’s better not to go.
On Monday at noon, Lin Ling called her with good news: she had obtained an autographed photo of Shen Nian's favorite actor and wanted to give it to Shen Nian.
Lin Ling was excitedly telling Shen Nian that she had good news to share, but after she finished speaking, Shen Nian was unusually not as excited as she was, which made her feel that something was wrong.
He immediately pressed Shen Nian to tell him what was wrong and what had happened.
Lin Ling was wondering if Shen Nian had argued with President Mo and was unhappy because of the conflict.
But Shen Nian said no, she didn't even know how to bring it up.
Lin Ling immediately asked her to meet up.
Shen Nian also needs someone to confide in, and she also wants to go out for a walk.
So I went out.
She didn't let Mo Ze drive her; she took a taxi herself.
Mo Ze knew that Lin Ling had invited her. Although he was a little worried about Shen Nian's condition, he also knew that she needed a friend to have a good talk with at this time, so he let her go anyway.
Lin Ling invited Shen Nian to dinner.
Lin Ling saw a new restaurant online that she had been wanting to try while eating at a barbecue stall.
The two ordered a bunch of barbecue and sat down. Lin Ling went straight to the point and asked, "Tell me, what happened? If it wasn't a fight with your boss Mo, what could be bothering you?"
Are you unhappy at work?
Shen Nian shook her head.
"Is it because your colleagues are hard to get along with?" Lin Ling asked again.
Shen Nian shook her head again.
Lin Ling really couldn't guess, so she urged Shen Nian to speak quickly.
Shen Nian bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and asked Lin Ling, "Lingling, do you believe me or Sisi?"
