Capítulo 24: Price? I'll Pay!
Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Chuqing didn't want to attract attention. However, right now, only this lift could reach the top floor.
The reality has proven that Sheng Yuchen wasn't someone others could meet so easily.
Facing the sudden appearance of this uninvited guest on the top floor, the secretary stopped her immediately.
"I want to see your CEO Sheng!"
Mu Chuqing's voice was filled with fury, while her small face was covered in a layer of iciness.
The secretary perhaps recognized Mu Chuqing as she smiled and asked, "CEO Mu, do you have an appointment?"
"No!"
Mu Chuqing's looked a bit uncomfortable, but she maintained her cold and robust tone.
The secretary froze, but her professionalism helped her to maintain a smile on her face.
"I'm sorry, CEO Mu, you can't meet him without an appointment…"
However, Mu Chuqing couldn't bother to continue listening to the secretary. She directly stormed towards the office that she was once so very familiar with.
"CEO Mu! CEO Mu, please wait, let me help you ask CEO Sheng first if you could…"
Mu Chuqing continued to ignore the secretary and suddenly opened the door of Sheng Yuchen's office.
The thick smell of coffee wafted inside the office. Mu Chuqing's gaze shot directly at the office desk.
Sheng Yuchen was holding a cup in his hand, looking at her.
..................
A slight glint flashed across those deep yet sharp black pupils. After putting down the cup in his hand, Sheng Yuchen's gaze calmly shifted to Mu Chuqing.
Immediately, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, and his handsome face instantly became fierce.
He waved his hand at the secretary, who was standing at the door in a panic.
"Why are you here?"
His voice was slightly soft, but it had an unexplainable coldness to it.
Mu Chuqing came to her senses and withdrew her gaze from the cup that Sheng Yuchen had just placed down, as she hid that strange look in her eyes.
When she looked at Sheng Yuchen again, Mu Chuqing finally felt the delayed sense of fear.
To be able to publicly barge into his territory without permission like she did, she wasn't sure what the consequences would be.
However, it probably wouldn't be worse than that night three years ago.
Mu Chuqing calmed herself down. When she finally looked up at Sheng Yuchen, her eyes were filled with anger.
"Sheng Yuchen, I was the one who slapped you yesterday night. If you need to vent your anger, I'll let you slap me back today, but please, don't drag innocent people into this!"
Sheng Yuchen's expression turned even uglier. "What do you mean?"
However, Mu Chuqing laughed with a sneer. "Indeed, important people tend to be more forgetful. I suppose you have probably forgotten that Su Yuan is locked up in the police station right now, right?"
Sheng Yuchen's eyes turned darkened. He stood up from his chair and walked towards the window, his back now facing Mu Chuqing.
After a long while, he finally spoke slowly, "Your and Su Yuan's matters are both different!"
"What do you mean?" This time, it was Mu Chuqing who asked the exact same question.
Sheng Yuchen also seemed to have felt the rather quick reversal of their positions. The corner of his lips curled upwards, and he slowly turned around. "I have never been someone to lash out my anger on innocent! You think that this is the consequence of you slapping me?"
"Then Su Yuan…"
Mu Chuqing's words came to a sudden halt. Her anger-filled eyes suddenly flashed as realization dawned upon her.
"Su Yuan got what she deserved. It's not a good habit for her to have such a vicious tongue! She made Chu Chu aggrieved, so I must let her pay the price!"
"You…"
Mu Chuqing felt choked up by Sheng Yuchen's words. She furiously glared at Sheng Yuchen, desperately trying to control her emotions.
"Pay the price, right? Fine, how much is that wine glass, I'll pay for it!"
