During the day, their sweet beauty was like passing clouds.
The images on the television screen were still flickering, but to Michelle, it seemed like a mockery.
So it turned out that she was just a joke.
What he had done to her was only to provoke Meng Yuyan. Now that they had made up, she should also withdraw.
That longing for the future and the thought that had once flashed through her mind for her entire life seemed to mock her, pressuring her to the point where she was unable to see through it.
"Lin Muhan, why did you do this to me!"
At that moment, an image appeared on the television screen of a huge building. Lin Muhan affectionately used a thin blanket to protect Meng Yuyan and this image was like the final straw that was being pressed down on the branch.
The remote control in his hand smashed forward forcefully, shattering into many pieces. Tears immediately rolled down his face.
She stretched out her arms and hugged herself, like a hedgehog. She could only hug herself for warmth.
The night slowly turned darker.
As the city fell into a deep sleep, only she was surrounded by grief, as if she had been abandoned by the world. At this moment, Michelle felt as if her world had collapsed.
All of his hopes and hopes had been completely shattered.
Tears quietly rolled down his face like sad poems.
She just sat there. The door of the apartment was not opened, and neither was he. Michelle's heart felt dead. The sunlight outside the window was brilliant, but it couldn't dispel the haze in her heart.
Standing up from the sofa, her feet were numb like thousands of ants corroding her bones, but she seemed to have no consciousness. She walked towards the room, changed her clothes, and walked out of the room drowsily.
She did not know where she was going, but she knew that she could not stay here. Otherwise, she would suffocate to death from the pressure.

News of Lin Muhan and Meng Yuyan had instantly spread, and the two of them instantly became the headlines. The sweet things that happened back then were also dug out, and Mi Xue was just instantly described as the Little Three who separated the others.
Sinister, resourceful, vicious …
All of the evil words were immediately imposed on her. When she heard all of these words, Gu Licheng was so angry that he jumped.
"Nonsense, the media is really going against the rules now!" He angrily crumpled the newspaper in his hand into a ball and threw it into the trash can. At the same time, he started to worry about that delicate figure again.
He took out his phone and looked up the familiar number. Recalling what Lin Muhan said at the Meng Family's birthday banquet, the anger in his heart exploded.
Originally, after the last time, he thought that Mi Xue and Lin Muhan would definitely be very happy, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen in the blink of an eye.
The fire of hope that was extinguished once again burned fiercely at this moment. He did not hesitate any longer and quickly dialed the number. His hand quietly held the number, expressing his excitement at this moment.
"Du …" "Du …"
The waiting voice on the other end of the line seemed infinitely longer, as if it had been there for a century.
The office door opened and a female secretary in a business attire walked in. She hurriedly said, "Director Gu, the information for the meeting has been prepared. It's about time. We can go over now."
"The meeting has been postponed. I still have matters to attend to." Gu Licheng hung up the call and rushed out, the secretary immediately rushed out.
"Director Gu, the chairman and the others will be here today, you …"
Before she finished speaking, Gu Licheng's figure had already disappeared from her line of sight.

The Lin's Group was no longer busy as it was before. Today, many people had gathered together.
"Is the relationship between the CEO and Secretary Meng really like that? I think the CEO and the Young Madam are very close."
"Secretary Meng must have gotten out of bed. Otherwise, why would the president visit such a low-class hotel?"
"But Secretary Meng is the CEO's first love. Since he came to the company and explained his position, do you think his relationship has returned to normal?"
"Could it be that our CEO is two-timing?"
"..."
The sound of the discussion engulfed the entire Lin's. When Secretary Lee heard this news, he coughed lightly and reprimanded softly, "Are you all bored? If the CEO hears these words, she might still want to stay."
The crowd dispersed, but rumors began to spread secretly.
Lin Muhan sat in his office, his expression was stern, and quickly signed, as though he was not bothered by the news outside, and only looked towards the door from time to time.
Even after waiting for a long time, he still did not make a move.
He couldn't help but pick up the phone on the table and quickly dialed a number.
"Hello, CEO." A sweet voice came over, but it wasn't the one he was expecting, so he directly hung up.
He frowned, a trace of worry appearing in his eyes.
Dong, dong, dong!
pushed the door and entered. Looking at Lin Muhan's expression, he was a little hesitant, but continued to ask softly, "CEO, the person in charge of the Meng called and asked about the Southern Merchant Shop. Should we give it a push?"
"Is she here yet?" Lin Muhan raised his head and asked Secretary Lee in a cold voice.
"She?" A look of hesitation flashed past Secretary Lee's eyes.
"Michelle!"
"The young madam sent me a message this morning saying that she has matters to attend to today and is requesting leave." Originally, he wanted to ask Mi Xue and Lin Muhan for leave too, but the phone number that Mi Xue and Lin Muhan requested could not be reached.
Lin Muhan raised his eyebrows slightly, a trace of anger flashed past his amber eyes. His hand held the brush tightly, as if he was going to crush it.
Secretary Lee did not dare speak anymore, and secretly wiped off his cold sweat.
"CEO, Meng …" Secretary Lee risked being shot to death to ask.
"Get out!" Lin Muhan said coldly.
Secretary Lee still wanted to speak, but looking at Lin Muhan's face that was like an ice mountain and the continuously decreasing temperature, he tactfully shut his mouth and walked out of the office like he was escaping.
Bang...
The moment he closed the door, a loud sound came out from inside the office, Lin Muhan's fist fiercely struck the table.
Ye Zichen took out his phone and clicked on the tracking software. When he saw that he was stuck in his old home, his anger immediately rushed to his head, while the flames in his eyes continuously flickered.
Just as he was about to pick up the car keys to leave, the door to his office was pushed open. Meng Yuyan, who was dressed in a light blue dress, walked in from outside.
"Han, I'm sorry." Meng Yuyan walked in front of him and apologized softly, "I didn't know Yi Jie would drug me."
Lin Muhan's sharp eyes swept across them, and only after a long while did he let out a cold laugh, "Since you dared to frame me, then he must be prepared to bear the consequences!"
Hearing this, Meng Yuyan was so scared that she couldn't help but tremble. She stepped forward and held Lin Muhan's hand, "H-he saw that I was too upset and thought that she could, could …"
"Heh, is that so? Then he really is a qualified male best friend." Lin Muhan scoffed.
Meng Yuyan was unable to guess what he was thinking, but she could only follow his words, "He's fine, Han, don't take it out on him. It's all my fault."
The tears couldn't help dripping down once again.
"Yu Yan, I remember telling you before, I don't like women who have too many hearts." Lin Muhan's words were as cold as the winter wind, causing Meng Yuyan to feel a chill all over her body.
"I didn't." Meng Yuyan had a bad premonition, and guiltily lowered her voice.
Lin Muhan coldly swept his eyes over her without any emotion, as if he was looking at a stranger. Meng Yuyan's heart felt as though it had fallen into an icehouse, the feeling of being pushed further and further away was suddenly magnified infinitely at this moment.
Lin Muhan extended his hand out to pinch her chin, and looked down condescendingly at her frightened face: "Don't ever do it again, or I'm not sure what I'll do."
She exerted force into her fingers and her fair chin flushed red. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Lin Muhan in pain.
"It hurts …" Meng Yuyan was still unable to hold it in.
Lin Muhan flung his hands and retreated two steps, tears sliding down his face.
"Go to work." Lin Muhan turned around and coldly said without any emotion in his voice. He didn't even look at her once.
Clang!
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and the old man walked in angrily. When he saw Meng Yuyan here, he trembled in anger.
"Good, very good!" He pointed at Lin Muhan and could not help but step forward, raising his hand and fiercely slapping Lin Muhan on the back, "You stinking brat, now that you're able to do it, you must be capable enough to bring me all of your fox spirits."
Lin Muhan turned around and looked at the old man's back. The office door was wide open, but there was no trace of that familiar figure.
Seeing that he did not reply, the old man became even more furious, and turned to look at Meng Yuyan, "Who allowed you to come here, get out, our Lin's does not welcome you."
"Grandfather, I'm Lin Muhan's secretary now!" Meng Yuyan retorted unwillingly.
"Miss Meng, since you know that you are the secretary, why did you accompany me to bed? Is this what your Meng Family's tutor is like?" The old man vented all of her anger on Meng Yuyan.
"Grandfather, I …"
"Our Lin Family cannot afford such a wife, quickly withdraw your thoughts and scram from here!" The old tutor scolded him mercilessly.
Lin Muhan who was at the side slightly frowned, his gaze landing on Meng Yuyan, "You go out first."
"Don't go yet!" The old man suddenly called out to her, then shouted at Lin Muhan: "Go, get someone to expel her."
Hearing that, Lin Muhan's frown deepened.
"Grandpa, Secretary Meng signed an official contract and there's no problem with his work. Our company doesn't have the habit of kicking people out." Lin Muhan retorted softly, directly rejecting the old man's request.
Meng Yuyan's eyes flashed, she was happy, it seems that Muhan still had some feelings for her.
"I set the rules. If I say fire, so be it." Every word was filled with anger, "I don't believe that Lin's cannot afford to pay such a small penalty. If he can't, then I'll pay it myself!"
The old man's words made Meng Yuyan panic in his heart, as he looked uneasily at Lin Muhan.
