Chapter 953 The Not-So-Bright Parasite Fake Gold (7)
After the meal, Qin Zhan escorted Mu Zhou back home.
When he arrived at the apartment building, he watched Mu Zhou go upstairs before starting the car.
Just then, a man and a woman walked upstairs hand in hand.
Although it was just a glimpse, Qin Zhan was still able to see the other person's face clearly.
The girl is Mu Zhou's roommate, Lin Juan.
Qin Zhan had already investigated her roommate, and with his excellent memory, he recognized her at a glance as they passed each other.
He frowned and told the driver to stop.
If I remember correctly, the co-tenancy agreement included a clause prohibiting bringing members of the opposite sex back home.
He had a sullen face.
Just as I was about to get off the bus, the man reappeared at the entrance of the building.
He left alone.
Qin Zhan's expression softened slightly, but it still wasn't exactly pleasant.
After a moment, he turned his gaze away from the light upstairs and said coldly:
"Let's go."
The car slowly drove away.
*
It's the weekend, and Mu Zhou didn't get up until noon.
She ordered takeout as soon as she opened her eyes.
She has a high salary now, and she also has a credit card from Qin Zhan, so she always chooses the most expensive takeout options.
After all, who wants to live a hard life?
Anyway, the original owner's wish was to be a parasite.
As the food delivery was about to arrive, she put on her trench coat and prepared to go get it.
To her surprise, when she opened the bedroom door, she saw a strange man sitting on the living room sofa.
She was startled.
The man was quite good-looking and dressed neatly, but his eyes revealed a shrewd calculation.
The bathroom door opened, and her roommate Lin Juan came out, greeted her, and introduced the two of them.
"This is my boyfriend, Xu Le, and this is my roommate, Mu Zhou."
Mu Zhou wasn't good at chatting with strangers. She forced a smile, then went to open the door and get the package.
Then I quickly returned to my room and locked the door.
She was actually somewhat dissatisfied.
These past few days, Lin Juan has been bringing her boyfriend home.
Sometimes we sit for a while, sometimes we eat.
She wanted to tell Lin Juan that she couldn't bring men back; they had a rule about it.
But she didn't dare say it.
She was afraid of an argument.
If they really started arguing, she definitely wouldn't be able to win.
In the end, she could only silently eat her takeout and sulk.
Outside the door, Xu Le asked, seemingly casually:
"Your roommate is pretty rich. I saw she ordered Lin Yu Ji, a five-star restaurant. This takeout must cost at least two hundred yuan."
Lin Juan was surprised:
"Really? I didn't notice."
She paused, as if recalling something:
"However, she does seem to have a lot more money lately. When she first moved here, she looked quite poor, leaving early and returning late, and wearing cheap clothes. But recently, she has a fixed get off work schedule and wears designer brands."
Lin Juan hadn't thought about it much before, since they were just roommates and didn't know each other very well.
But when her boyfriend asked her that question today, she felt a little puzzled.
"Could it be that she found a good job?"
she guessed.
Xu Le scoffed, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes:
"Need I say more? She must have gone to sell it."
Her face was so alluring that even her oversized pajamas couldn't hide her stunning figure.
Besides selling her body, what else could she do to make money so quickly?
Lin Juan frowned upon hearing this, somewhat disgusted by his remarks:
"Don't talk nonsense. He's a college student who's working during his vacation."
Xu Le chuckled:
"College students sell more, and they sell for higher prices. The foot massage parlors are full of college students. You're just too naive."
Lin Juan glared at him:
"How do you know so much? Have you had it photoshopped?"
Xu Le quickly denied it:
"I didn't. I only heard it from my colleagues and bosses when I was getting a foot massage. They said that college students were selling things there."
He pulled Lin Juan into his arms and assured her:
“I’m different from those men. They all order it, but I never do. I think they’re dirty.”
Lin Juan was half-believing and half-doubting.
But she and Xu Le have been together since their student days, and it has been more than ten years now, so there is still basic trust between them.
Moreover, both sides have already met each other's parents, and they are planning to get married at the end of the year.
She suppressed her unease and changed the subject:
"Alright, let's go. We agreed when we started sharing the apartment that we couldn't bring outsiders back."
"I know."
The sounds outside gradually faded away, and Mu Zhou finished his takeout.
She didn't leave the house all day, only rushing out the next day when she went to work.
To my surprise, I saw Xu Le in the living room again.
Xu Le looked her up and down.
She was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands, and the bag she was carrying was also a luxury item; she looked like a wealthy and beautiful socialite.
But in fact……
Xu Le suspected her of the worst possible intentions.
Who knows where her money came from?
Mu Zhou noticed his gaze, frowned slightly, and left the room quickly without saying goodbye.
When I returned in the evening, unsurprisingly, I saw Xu Le in the living room again.
Mu Zhou's expression was not good.
She mustered up her courage and went to find Lin Juan.
After hearing her purpose, Lin Juan looked at her apologetically:
"I'm sorry, his rented apartment has been under renovation lately, and he hasn't been sleeping well, so he was thinking of staying here for a while. Don't worry, it'll only be for a week. Also, tomorrow I won't let him stay in the living room, just in the bedroom, okay?"
Mu Zhou is not good at refusing people, and she softens her heart as soon as Lin Juan asks her for something.
The fact that Xu Le moved in was thus tacitly accepted.
However, Lin Juan kept her word, and Mu Zhou never encountered Xu Le again after that.
But when she came home from work that day, she saw him again in the living room.
She frowned and went back to her room without even saying goodbye.
Xu Le called out to her:
"Have you eaten? Lin Juan is working overtime today and I don't know when she'll be back. I made a lot extra, let's eat together."
Mu Zhou glanced at the dishes on the table and shook his head:
"I have already eaten."
She was about to leave when Xu Le stepped forward and stopped her.
Mu Zhou was startled and instinctively took out his phone to call the police.
Xu Le wasn't scared at all; he smiled.
"What are you afraid of? I mean no harm. I just want to get to know you. Actually, I think we get along quite well. It's just that Lin Juan is too jealous and always prevents me from talking to you."
He sighed:
"Lin Juan is too jealous. You are so much prettier than her, but she looks down on you and always badmouths you behind your back. I can't stand it anymore."
Mu Zhou paused for a moment, as if he believed him.
"She's badmouthing me behind my back?"
Seeing that she had taken the bait, Xu Le quickly said:
"Yeah, she's always talking badly about you. She says you wear designer brands every day and order such expensive takeout, it must be..."
He looked as if he was reluctant to speak, but he also appeared extremely greasy.
"She must be doing that kind of work; she finds it extremely distasteful."
Seeing Mu Zhou's pale face, he pressed on:
“She always disinfects the bathroom you use, saying she’s afraid you’ll catch a dirty disease from her. I told her not to always make malicious assumptions, but she thought I was protecting you and we even argued.”
He sighed, looking utterly helpless and exhausted, as if he couldn't do anything about her.
Mu Zhou didn't speak, and seemed to be greatly shocked and very sad.
