Since Mu Qing sent Liang Zhou home, he could not leave immediately. He was on tenterhooks as he pretended to ask about Liang Zhou's well-being.
Liang Zhou pretended not to notice his restlessness and spoke about her time at the Mu family house.
Mu Qing could only force himself to patiently listen to her since he strongly felt that Liang Zhou would definitely be helpful to his grand plan. When he excused himself to go to the bathroom, he sent a message to Lin Liang, another one of his assistants, asking her to come up with an excuse to get him out of the house.
When Lin Liang arrived at the house, he feigned reluctance as he said goodbye to Liang Zhou.
Although Liang Zhou did not seem like she was finished talking, she acted very sensibly. She told Mu Qing that he should prioritize his work.
