Mu Hui returned a smile, but she was somewhat absent-minded.

According to the original plot of the book, the story did not develop like this. In the original story, Old Madam Zheng did not appear. It was said that she had died in the old neighborhood district that day.

Lu Yichen had been staring at Mu Hui and Old Madam Zheng. After seeing that the two of them seemed to know each other, he became angry in an instant.

He stood up directly and was about to rush up when Ye Zhi pulled him back.

“Yichen, don’t be rash. You…”

She felt so guilty that she did not dare to go up to the old lady.

Before Ye Zhi could finish speaking, Lu Yichen pushed her away directly. She almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she managed to hold onto the table in time.

When she saw Lu Yichen looking for Old Madam Zheng aggressively, she instantly panicked.

Lu Yichen walked over and said in a strange tone, “Looks like the two of you are old acquaintances.”

As he had suddenly raised his voice, he managed to catch everyone’s attention.

“No way, do these two really know each other?”

“It seems like it. That Old Madam Zheng just winked at Mu Hui.”

“Don’t tell me that they have a relationship too? Isn’t she just using power for personal gain?”

Lu Yichen looked directly at Old Madam Zheng with a face full of anger. It was as if he wanted her to give him an explanation immediately.

Old Madam Zheng was very calm. She sat down beside Mu Hui and ignored the surprised gazes of the others.

She looked past Lu Yichen and saw Ye Zhi, who had been avoiding her gaze behind him. She sneered.

“If I really want to use my power for personal gain, the one behind you is the first one I have to deal with today!”

“What do you mean?”

Lu Yichen did not understand.

Old Madam Zheng did not answer his question. She stared at Ye Zhi sharply. Her stare was self-evident.

Lu Yichen followed her gaze and looked at Ye Zhi behind him. He noticed that Ye Zhi’s face was full of panic. She did not dare to look him in the eye.

His heart instantly became suspicious. Could Ye Zhi have done something behind his back?

Lu Yichen could not help but ask, “Ye Zhi, what’s going on? What is she talking about?”

Ye Zhi looked at Old Madam Zheng with fear in her eyes. She instantly lowered her head and said, “Yichen, I’ll tell you when we get back.”

This time, Lu Yichen became even more suspicious.
