Lin Mushi raised an eyebrow slightly and said sarcastically, "You're about the same age as me, but you act like a middle-aged woman, always lecturing people?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yuqiu subconsciously looked at her, thinking to herself, "You're really something."

No matter how you look at it, the words spoken to the middle-aged woman are the most vicious of all, enough to make a woman lose her composure.

Su Yan was not angry.

At least not on the surface.

She looked at Lin Mushi quietly and said with a smile, "I fully understand that you are still at a rebellious age, and it is normal to say such things. After all, people are not self-aware."

Lin Mushi sneered, "You make it sound like you're not human."

Gu Yuqiu thought that she probably couldn't be considered human anymore.

Reaching the peak of the fifth rank of the Divine Ascension Steps, one stands at the pinnacle of the mortal world, nearly indistinguishable from a god.

Humanity diminishes while divinity grows stronger; this is an inevitable process of development. She was no exception back then, so how could Su Yan possibly remain unaffected?

The reason why Su Yan looks like a normal person now is simply because she is an incarnation and has not been tainted by too much of the original's divinity, and still retains a human touch.

"She's not as simple as you think."

Su Yan said, "You should stay away from her and not get so close anymore."

Lin Mushi paused for a moment, then smiled and looked at her seriously, asking, "Now I have a question."

"Go ahead."

Su Yan's tone was gentle, and her smile was equally beautiful, yet it was incredibly infuriating.

Lin Mushi asked, "Your last sentence implied that she was using me. So, in what way did she use me? You are knowledgeable and experienced, so why don't you expose her scheme for me?"

When she said this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, her smile extremely mocking, which could easily make people angry.

Su Yan wasn't angry, because she was stunned.

She thought about it very carefully once... twice, then three times, four times, and then five or six times, but she still couldn't figure out the answer to the question.

No matter how Gu Yuqiu sees it from Lin Mushi's perspective, there's never any value in her being used.

In terms of value, she is undoubtedly far superior to Lin Mushi, yet Gu Yuqiu deliberately tries not to please her and goes to great lengths to provoke her.

This is simply illogical.

"And the answer?"

Lin Mushi tilted her head slightly, looking at her proudly, and said, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

At this moment, she was extremely proud, straightened her back, and exuded an extraordinary aura!

Su Yan was speechless. After a moment of silence, she said, "I don't have an answer for now."

Lin Mushi was not about to let such an opportunity slip by. Pressing her advantage, she stared into her eyes and said, "Even if it's only temporary, you still have to apologize to me."

Su Yan asked, "Apologize?"

For some reason, she could have apologized to Gu Yuqiu before, but this time she acted differently.

Lin Mushi chuckled and said sarcastically, "Trying to cheat?"

Su Yan was very angry, but she forced herself to control her emotions and said, "It has nothing to do with cheating, it's just that kind of person she is."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "Isn't this just stubbornly refusing to admit defeat?"

She got angry too, turned around and looked at the female secretary who was hiding in the corner trembling, and said angrily, "You heard everything, do you think who is right, me or Su Yan?"

The female secretary stared blankly at her and Su Yan with her mouth slightly open, thinking to herself, "What does your argument have to do with me?"

More importantly, shouldn't you ask Gu Yuqiu, the one who caused your argument, when you're arguing?

She couldn't think of a reply, so she turned to look at Gu Yuqiu, as if to say, "You can't stay silent any longer, can you?"

Gu Yuqiu suppressed her laughter and nodded at her.

Then Lin Mushi and Su Yan heard a sentence.

My opinion is very simple.

Gu Yuqiu looked at them, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "You are both wrong."

Chapter 63: Just a Face

Upon hearing this, Lin Mushi was stunned.

She stared at Gu Yuqiu with her mouth slightly agape, her eyes filled with disbelief, her expression extremely complex, as if she had discovered that her lover had cheated on her.

Su Yan was much calmer than her, even though she was equally angry.

Where did I go wrong?

"You really want to hear it?"

Gu Yuqiu looked at Su Yan, his tone casual, nonchalant, and provocative.

Su Yan calmly replied, "Otherwise?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Mushi nodded hurriedly beside her, humming angrily several times, as if she had already formed an alliance with Su Yan.

"Then you'd better be prepared to apologize."

Gu Yuqiu shifted his gaze from her to the female secretary standing in the corner and said, "Have you two forgotten why she came here in the first place?"

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "Why are you asking me about this?"

She was a little angry and was about to encourage Su Yan to deny everything when she realized that the atmosphere was a bit off.

Based on her years of experience pretending to be dead in class, she immediately shut her mouth, blinked innocently, and looked particularly well-behaved.

Su Yan was silent for a moment, then looked at Gu Yuqiu and said, "Then I think it's your problem."

"is it?"

Gu Yuqiu looked at her, her expression showing no surprise whatsoever, as if she had expected this statement.

Su Yan ignored these comments and said, "The reason I discussed you with Lin Mushi is because your behavior is too hypocritical."

Gu Yuqiu smiled and said, "Where am I being hypocritical?"

Su Yan said, "Of course it's hypocritical. You deliberately say nice things to someone as innocent and lovely as Lin Mushi, so that she will feel grateful."

The female secretary looked at the two of them with a blank expression, wondering what kind of argument they were having and how they could argue so calmly. And what did "innocent and cute" mean?

Is this saying that Lin Mushi is stupid?

She thought to herself, then secretly glanced at someone and found that he was indeed very innocent and cute.

Gu Yuqiu's smile remained unchanged as she softly asked, "Which sentence specifically?"

Su Yan had an excellent memory and repeated the words verbatim: "I don't care if you're angry or not because you're not in my life, but she is different."

She said this in a calm tone, but the mockery was obvious.

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "You're just being sarcastic," and couldn't help but say, "Where exactly is the falsehood in what you're saying..."

Gu Yuqiu interrupted her, looking at Su Yan and saying, "Then I still think you're wrong."

Su Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to herself, "Are you going to deny it to the death and deliberately renege on your promise?"

Thinking this through, she felt she had already won the debate and stopped dwelling on it. She turned around with a seemingly calm but actually haughty air, facing her female secretary with a subtle expression, preparing to say something before leaving.

The night is not yet halfway over, and there is still a very long time to go. On the way back to the Special Affairs Bureau from Baima Lake, no one knows what kind of accidents might happen.

Therefore, she must be prepared and stop wasting her energy on such meaningless things...

Thinking of this, Su Yan suddenly froze.

Then she heard a sentence.

"Oh, so you finally realized it."

Gu Yuqiu's voice came from behind: "Actually, I'm quite curious too. We've only known each other for a day, so why are you so concerned about what kind of person I am?"

She remarked with a sigh, "There's important business to attend to, and time is limited, yet you insist on starting this argument, ignoring everything else. How strange!"

She dragged out the last word, making it sound rather mocking.

However, her voice was so pleasant that after a while, the mockery just sounded funny to everyone.

Purely fun without any emotional content.

The female secretary looked at Gu Yuqiu and thought to herself, "Since you and Su Yan have only known each other for a day, why do you seem to me like best friends, as if you know everything about each other?"

"you're right."

Su Yan glanced at Lin Mushi and said, "From this perspective, it is indeed my problem. I shouldn't have wasted this meaningless time."

Gu Yuqiu smiled but remained silent.

Although she was impeccably beautiful, her smile was still infuriating.

Lin Mushi was naturally not the one who got angry.

She tilted her head slightly, naturally puffed out her chest, looked down at Su Yan, and said proudly, "Then why aren't you apologizing now?"

Su Yan looked at her, her gaze moving down from her face to her chest, and then realized that she was really being absurd.

So I was arguing with such an idiot?

She finally realized how terribly wrong she had been, turned to her secretary, and asked, "Now?"

"No, there's still some time."

The female secretary glanced at Lin Mushi, who had been ignored, and felt a little uneasy. She said softly, "Because it was a sudden situation, the various departments are still coordinating, so you will have some time to rest."

After saying that, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, forced a polite smile, prepared to say a few more pleasantries, and then hurried away.

Just as she finished speaking and turned to the door, a sentence reached her ears as she turned the handle.

“I don’t want to hear these gossips from Zhong Chongshan.”

The female secretary paused for a moment, resisting the urge to turn around and look back. She nodded subtly and finally left the small room.

Before she could even catch her breath, two more people came out of the room.

She was somewhat taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why are you all out here too?"
