Chapter 836 The Orphan Girl Deceived by the Pretending-to-Be-Poor CEO (The End)
Xiang Ze lowered his eyes, forcing back the pain in his chest.
I don't know if it's because of heartbreak or lingering effects.
He nodded in response to Mu Zhou's casual greeting.
"It's ready."
Over the past six months, he has traveled to several countries and managed to save his life.
He chuckled and said with a self-deprecating smile:
"I lied to you back then, saying I was seriously ill. Little did I know, my words would come true."
Mu Zhou also thought back to the past.
She worked tirelessly to earn money to pay for his medical treatment.
Looking back now, she doesn't feel so resentful anymore.
Xiang Ze naturally noticed that she no longer hated him.
For a moment, I felt like I couldn't even breathe.
Mu Zhou glanced at the time; Gu Huaizhou was about to get off work. She said:
"I have something to do, let's talk another day."
He then stood up, as if to see the guest out.
The lingering resentment in his heart made Xiang Ze unable to hold back his words:
"Why did I go to Country Y and suffer this ordeal? Don't you want to know who it was..."
"I don't want to know, and I don't care."
Mu Zhou interrupted him calmly, a hint of impatience in his eyes.
Xiang Ze felt a lump in his throat.
He instantly realized that Mu Zhou knew everything.
She knew about Gu Huaizhou's methods.
But she doesn't care.
He was rudely asked to leave the convenience store.
Mu Zhou checked the power supply again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he went out and locked the door.
She clapped her hands, looked up, and saw Gu Huaizhou leaning against the door.
He stared at her intently, his long, narrow eyes shimmering with emotion.
"You're here, let's go eat."
Mu Zhou acted as if nothing had happened, and casually hooked her arm around his.
Gu Huaizhou lowered his eyes, then suddenly bent down and kissed her on the lips with a smile.
"Baby, I almost became a jealous husband and went in to beat up the mistress."
He hugged Mu Zhou and started to act coquettishly.
Mu Zhou immediately understood that Gu Huaizhou had arrived long ago and had seen what happened between her and Xiang Ze.
It seems he heard what she said, which is why he's smiling so broadly.
Mu Zhou pinched his waist:
"Okay, we're outside now."
Gu Huaizhou straightened up, raised an eyebrow, and replied in an ambiguous tone:
"So, once you go home, everything will be fine?"
Mu Zhou glared at him and ignored him.
However, when he got back that night, Gu Huaizhou did indeed go a little too far.

Mu Zhou later learned that Xiang Ze had secretly come to see her from the hospital that day.
Although I survived that serious injury, I will require a long period of rehabilitation.
He was soon sent abroad again for treatment.
Two years later, when Mu Zhou's convenience store opened its fourth branch, she and Gu Huaizhou also held their wedding.
Xiaoling specially returned from abroad to be her bridesmaid, and the old director of the welfare home, as well as Muzhou's few friends, all came to her wedding.
The wedding had a warm and cozy atmosphere, yet it was equally grand.
Anyone could see how much Gu Huaizhou valued and admired Mu Zhou.
As dusk approached, the festive atmosphere lingered.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Mu Zhou and Gu Huaizhou embraced and kissed tightly.

When Mu Zhou woke up again, he was trembling all over.
She was so cold that her teeth were chattering.
She twisted her body, her back aching.
All I could hear was the rumble of the train and the chorus of snoring.
This made her realize that it was a new dimension.
She wrapped the scarf around her head tighter, forcing herself to sleep a little longer.
While doing so, I pondered the plot.
She was on a green train from the 1980s.
The original owner was a native of the countryside, and the farthest place he had ever been was the county town.
This time, however, she was going to the remote Northwest Military Region alone.
She went to find her husband, whom she had never met.
In the original storyline, she also boarded this train.
Not long after they arrived, they were targeted by kidnappers.
The original owner had little social experience and was unaware of those tricks, so she easily fell into their trap.
After eating the pancake laced with a sedative, she was helped off the train by an older woman.
Fortunately, she was physically strong and quickly regained her senses. She took the opportunity to escape and then found the police officers.
They were eventually sent back to the village.
This news delighted her stepmother, who had never wanted her to go with the soldier. She spread the word throughout the village that she had been taken away by kidnappers, married an old man, and had been rescued by the police.
While she was still in shock, they found an elder in her husband's family.
The original owner's husband's parents had both passed away, leaving only his uncle.
It was her uncle who sent her the identity information so that she could marry her nephew.
However, later, the uncle found out that the original owner's reputation was not good either.
Lazy, greedy, and selfish.
Just as I was regretting it, I heard about her story.
Since the original owner's family was also willing to leave, he wrote a letter to his nephew.
Ultimately, without the original owner's knowledge, the marriage was called off.
After regaining her senses, she cried and insisted on going to join her husband in the military, only to learn that he had already filed for divorce and there was no going back.
In a fit of anger, the original owner of this body committed suicide by running herself over to her own doorstep when her stepmother tried to sell her to an old widower.
The original owner's wish was also very simple.
She later learned that the original owner's husband was also on that train.
Unfortunately, she was just one step away from her tragic end.
Actually, she didn't necessarily want to find that husband, since she had never even met him and couldn't say whether she liked him or not.
She just didn't want to suffer from hunger, beatings, or cold anymore.
If she could do it all over again, her wish would be simple: to live a good life.
Whether she could join the army or not, she was content as long as she could live a good life.
Although the original owner didn't care whether or not she could join the army, Mu Zhou was determined to go.
Because the person she wanted to seduce was her husband, Cheng Lifeng.
At this moment, Cheng Lifeng was sitting two carriages away from her.
Mu Zhou glanced at the connecting area between the carriages.
Just then, a large light from outside the railway swept across the area, and a tall man stepped out from the shadows at the junction of the carriages.
A flash of light revealed his handsome face with its striking features.
The next second, the carriage went dark again.
In the darkness, the man's upright figure stood out prominently.
Even in his heavy military overcoat, his decisive and powerful demeanor was still evident.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Mu Zhou brazenly sized him up.
From top to bottom, inside and out.
The next instant, the man keenly caught her gaze.
His sharp gaze swept precisely towards her.
With an overwhelming sense of pressure, it was as sharp as a lion hunting its prey.
Mu Zhou was completely covered up, with only a slit for his eyes showing.
She didn't back down at all, and met his gaze openly and confidently.
A pair of big, round, dark eyes stared at him.
The man, perhaps not expecting such a bold gaze to come from a young girl, paused noticeably for a moment.
He quickly looked away and strode away from the carriage.
Only after he disappeared did that powerful and intimidating aura gradually dissipate.
The man was her husband, Cheng Lifeng.
Cheng Lifeng was a real soldier, and his imposing aura seemed to be innate.
Mu Zhou didn't think much of it and fell asleep leaning against the car window.
Until I woke up from hunger.
It was already getting bright at this time.
Today, the original owner of this body was targeted by a human trafficking gang.
