Chapter 669 Colluding with Gricy

Ziyue did not use much force with her slap, but Muchen's hand instantly became red.

She widened her eyes in shock. How is his skin so delicate?

"I understand why you're angry." Muchen reached out and held Ziyue's hand, clasping her fingers securely between his.

Ziyue looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"But everything I've said is true. You know I won't lie to you, right?" Muchen turned to her suddenly with a smile.

His handsome face softened immediately. His smile melted every trace of coldness in his expression.

Ziyue slowly extricated her hand from him before standing up and going to the side. She leaned against a table, crossed her arms, and looked down at him. "Muchen, do you think I'm that gullible?"

Muchen's expression flashed with astonishment.

He looked down. His gaze flickered as he thought.

Telling her the truth is out of the question.

But she won't let go of the matter if I don't tell the truth.

The room fell silent. After a while, Muchen's low voice finally sounded. "I suspect Grandpa is working with people from Gricy."

Ziyue frowned and reacted instinctively, "That's impossible!"

She rubbed her brow and sat down again. "Grandpa is the head of the Mogwin Family. He cares so much about the family's prestige. Why would he be colluding with Gricy? That can't be true!"

"That's not true. Nothing is truly impossible in this world." Muchen's expression darkened. He narrowed his eyes, making it hard for anyone to read his emotions. "Even officials collude with Gricy, so what's stopping Grandpa? While family prestige is important, what's stopping him from working with Gricy to preserve that prestige? Even if he did something corrupt secretly, why would he let anyone know?"

Ziyue realized his analysis made sense.

Muchen's eyes flickered as he watched her, considering earnestly. He decided not to disturb her and got up to get her a glass of water.
