People came and went in the restaurant, but Michelle felt like she was in a world of ice and snow, and her whole body felt cold.

"Miss!"

The sales clerk walked over, and instead of the enthusiasm from before, he had a disdainful smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, but my ring is no longer for sale!" Mi Xue immediately snatched the storage ring from the shop assistant's hand and escaped, not bumping into Lin Muhan at all.

However, the shop assistant looked at her mockingly, as if she was looking at an annoying cockroach, throwing the ring in her hand to Mi Xue. "You came to play with us when you have nothing better to do, but you actually used a fake ring to sell it to us. Do you really think we're blind?"

Fake?

Mi Xue was secretly shocked. Looking at the ring in her hand, she hastily ran to the shop assistant and asked in disbelief, "Look carefully, this is my wedding ring. It's a limited edition one, how can it be fake?"

"You said limited edition only limited edition?" The shop assistant changed from her previous flattery to glancing at Michelle. Her mocking tone was even more obvious. "A person like you can take out a limited edition ring. What do you think of your identity?"

"Take a closer look." Michelle chased after the shop assistant.

"Hurry up and keep it!"

The crowd's attention was focused on the scene. The mocking gazes and soft reproaches were like sharp swords, stabbing at Michelle, leaving her unable to show her face.

His heart was injured again.

Lin Muhan, why are you not willing to give me even a ring! Mi Xue screamed in her heart. Her already tormented heart was hurting even more.

"Miss Mi, you can't possibly have nowhere to go and take out a fake ring to swindle money, right?"

A clear sound rang out, and the surrounding people had a look of realization. The shop assistant pushed Mi Xue away and scolded, "Luckily I checked carefully, or else I really would have been tricked by you."

"I didn't." Michelle stared at the ring in her hand and retorted in a low voice.

"So he's actually a swindler!"

"He looks white and clean, but his heart is as black as carbon."

"You cheated your way into coming to the jewelry store. Hurry up and take the photos and post them on the internet!"

"..."

Mi Xue didn't hear a word of what Lin Muhan had said. Compared to that, knowing that Lin Muhan had given her a fake ring made her sad.

Not far away, Meng Yuyan watched everything with cold eyes, the corners of her mouth raised in a pleased smile.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door.

A tall and straight figure appeared at the door. Ling Jiao's clear face didn't have any emotion. His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings as if he had seen through everything.

Michelle froze on the spot, not knowing how to react.

"Cold." A clear and melodious voice came out. Meng Yuyan, who was wearing a blue print short skirt, revealed a happy look on her face and quickened her pace to walk to Lin Muhan's side.

Lin Muhan slightly nodded, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Mi Xue's body stiffened. This invisible gentleness was completely gone when she was young. It was just one sentence, but it had already made her clear the difference between herself and Meng Yuyan.

"I came here to buy a ring, and coincidentally met with Miss Mi here to sell it!" Meng Yuyan said with regret.

Lin Muhan replied with a "Okay", his cold eyes sweeping over Mi Xue's body. She actually wants to sell a ring, very good!

"But the ring Miss Mi brought us was fake!" Meng Yuyan added.

"Fake?" Lin Muhan's words were like the frost in winter, and his brows knitted slightly.

"Muhan, this ring …."

"Looks like Mrs. Lin still hasn't figured out the situation. It's already good enough to give you a ring, don't tell me you want me to spend a large sum of money to buy a limited edition ring for you?" With a cold smile, Lin Muhan walked forward and pinched Mi Xue's chin. "It seems that Mrs. Lin still hasn't seen her position clearly!"

With a single sentence, all of Mi Xue's camouflage was destroyed. Her pale face was drained of blood. The ring and box she was holding in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

This voice was like the sound of Michelle's heart breaking heart!

The surrounding people looked at this scene as if they were watching a good show. Mrs. Lin was unfavoured, Xiao San had teamed up with Lin Muhan to embarrass her, this kind of explosive news was not something that could be seen normally.

In an instant, it set off a wild wave.

Mi Xue's eyes were moist, but she forced herself to endure her stubbornness. She looked at the two people standing together quietly, then quickly walked out of the jewelry store under the supervision of the crowd.

Walking on the street aimlessly, Mi Xue felt like a clown when she thought about what had happened in the past few months. She could not care about the astonished gazes of the people around her, and her mind was filled with only the scene of Meng Yuyan and Lin Muhan standing together.

What a perfect match, a man and a woman.

As for her, she was like a third party that had stepped in between them.

Michelle wandered along the road like a lonely ghost. She did not know where to go nor where she was right now. She just kept walking forward.

Meng Yuyan, Lin Muhan...

The faces of these two people constantly intertwined in her mind, like millions of ants gnawing on her. It was so painful that she was squatting by the side of the road, hugging her legs.

Tears rolled down his face like rain.

Once, Michelle thought it was easy to love a person, but when she did, she did everything she could to love him.

However, she had never thought that her sacrifice was just a burden in the eyes of others, a conspiracy!

Love.

Too tired!

It was too painful!

Michelle raised her head and looked at the couple walking down the road with teary eyes. They were either hugging each other or whispering to each other. Everyone of them had a blissful smile on their faces.

All of these scenes caused her to be unable to hold back her envy.

Her love had already dissipated.

Those dreams, it was time to wake up!

Squeak!

The ear-piercing sound of brakes could be heard. Only then did Michelle realize that a car was blocking her sight. A person walked out of the car and looked at the delicate person before him with an anxious expression.

"Xue'er, why are you sitting here?"

Mi Xue stared at the person before her. Looking at the anxious expression on her face, all the grievances from within her surged forth in an instant. She wanted to stand up, but found her feet were too numb from squatting down for too long, causing her to sway a little.

Gu Licheng hugged her and reproached, "Are you not feeling well? I'll take you to the hospital. "

"No, I'm fine." Michelle lowered her head.

She knew that her current situation was very bad, but she did not forget what Lin Muhan had said.

Although Lin Muhan's current thoughts were not on her, she did not dare take the risk.

She anxiously pushed Gu Licheng away, but Mi Xue did not know how to continue the topic. Yesterday, Lin Muhan's words had reminded her that when Lin's was in trouble, she had borrowed money from Gu Licheng, but after so long, she had not mentioned it.

Ye Zichen originally wanted to sell it back to him, but didn't think that even the ring was fake.

Without money, Michelle felt helpless.

"Let's go inside and take a seat. Don't stand here foolishly." Gu Licheng pulled her towards the coffee shop behind them.

Michelle wanted to refuse, but she didn't know how to say it out loud. She could only follow him in.

They found a place to sit down and ordered. Everything was done in an instant. Michelle looked out the window. They used to hang out here occasionally, but things had changed after all.

"Did you know that our class's Chen Liang is with Huang Lin?"

"Huh?"

"I got married last week and I went. And Monkey also found a girlfriend, the one who's as thin as a monkey, do you remember? "

"..."

Hearing Gu Licheng's story of his classmates, Mi Xue's eyes were filled with sorrow, and his heart could not help but feel bitter.

Happiness was so easy for others, but why was it so hard for her?

In the office of the CEO of Lin's, Lin Muhan returned from the jewelry store with a cold expression.

The ring in Michelle's hand today was ordered by him. It couldn't be fake, so why did the clerk say that? From the side, he took out a ring. It was the ring that Michelle had dropped on the jewelry store.

"Little Chen, go to the jewelry store and investigate what happened today!" Lin Muhan spoke sternly as he picked up the phone.

After putting away the fake ring, Lin Muhan started to work.

Not long after, the office door was pushed open.

As soon as he looked up, the secretary stopped. "Sorry, CEO, something happened."

"What is it?"

The secretary walked forward and placed a few photos in front of Lin Muhan, "These were just sent over."

A cold light flashed across Lin Muhan's eyes as a chill flowed out from his body. The secretary couldn't help but shiver, "CEO, perhaps the young mistress is just seeing a friend.

"Secretary Lee, how many years have you been by my side?" Lin Muhan's deep black eyes revealed a cold glint.

Secretary Lee did not understand what Lin Muhan meant, and after a slight hesitation, he lowered his head and said, "Three years."

"It's been three years. Don't you know the consequences of spreading this photo?!" The expression on her knife-like face was dark, the coldness in her tone seemed to be able to freeze someone to death.

"I'll go deal with it right now!" Secretary Lee turned and left.

Lin Muhan touched the photos and frowned. Inside the photos, Mi Xue was hugging a man, but the photos were taken at a good angle, so she could only see Mi Xue's face clearly. That man had hidden it extremely well.

Good, very good!

Ye Zichen clenched his fists, while his knuckles turned white. He didn't think that this woman would actually dare to carry him on her back and look for a man.

Lin Muhan stood up and slammed the table, "This is all your fault, don't blame me!"

Just as he was about to leave the office, the phone on the table rang again. Lin Muhan grabbed it angrily and said gloomily, "Speak!"

"CEO, we've investigated the jewelry store thoroughly. I've sent the information to the mailbox!" Little Chen braced himself and said these words.

Lin Muhan anxiously used his mouse to click on the mailbox, and a small video was sent over by Little Chen.

The picture was outside the jewelry store. The surroundings were a bit dark, but it was still possible to clearly see the uniformed shop assistant handing over an exquisite box to a woman.

The lady was none other than Meng Yuyan.

Seeing this, the look in Lin Muhan's eyes became even deeper, as he stared at the computer screen in deep thought.
