Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling in Love with You Chapter 283

“Chenyan, are you free tonight? Do you want to have dinner together?”

Wu Ze's magnificent tone suddenly made Mu Chenyan feel close to him . Without any hesitation, Mu Chenyan quietly said, “Yes, it'll be my treat this time!”

Mu Chenyan smiled at the person on the other line as she spoke .

Wu Ze nodded before he teased her, saying, “You can treat me if you insist . In fact, you should be serious about treating me since you're already an important reporter who's famous everywhere!”

Mu Chenyan took Wu Ze to the stall that Su Qingcheng had previously brought her . She ordered beer and barbecued skewers .

Oil droplets continuously glistened on the surface of the lamb skewers, barbecued lamb kidneys, pork belly, roasted chicken wings, and drumsticks while their aroma dispersed in all directions . Meanwhile, everyone's taste buds were filled with the original flavors of the enoki mushrooms, potato slices, and golden fried bun slices .

Wu Ze came from an aristocratic family . Although he was a lawyer, he had actually never eaten such street food .

He curiously took in his surroundings . Although they were simple, the environment was still considerably clean . Simultaneously, he rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt before he took a big gulp of his beer like the man beside him .

The dry but crisp flavor excited him . He grabbed another handful of skewers . They tasted delicious and were even better than the luxurious delicacies that he had eaten .

The man praised her, saying, “Little Chenyan, I should've asked you to treat me to such a nice place long ago!”

Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyan gently sighed before she smiled and replied .

“I assumed that you'd complain about this shabby place since you're used to dining in five-star hotels . ”

Mu Chenyan scanned her surroundings and saw a big burly man who had raised his leg up on his chair while he stupidly smiled at the female television anchor on his phone, a fat older man with a stubbly chin, young graduates who had just gotten off from work, and groups of students…

People from all walks of life gathered at this humble street stall . Although someone with Wu Ze's status and dressing looked out of place among them, he happily enjoyed his food nonetheless .

“I don't know where you got that idea . I think that experiences like these are much better than those in five-star hotels! I really feel that I missed out on the earlier parts of my life . There are so many beautiful experiences in life but I and the people like me have let these things slip past us . That's truly a shame!”

Wu Ze spoke sincerely from his heart .

Due to his background, he had studied in a private aristocratic school in both junior and high school . When he went to study in England for his university, he only encountered scholars and gentlemen . People like them would never have joined him to chug beers and stuff themselves with skewers .

When he came home after his graduation, he quickly made a name for himself in the legal industry . Moreover, since he was from the Wu Family, when would his clients who wanted him to handle their lawsuits ever invite him to a roadside stall even if they were going to buy him a meal?

He would truly have never experienced things like this if it was not for Mu Chenyan .

The handsome and famous lawyer ate without caring about anything else . He rapidly devoured the meat skewers and swallowed them while faint beads of sweat appeared on his forehead .

Mu Chenyan could not help but laughed when she saw this . “Eat slowly, no one's going to take that from you . ”

She passed a piece of tissue paper to Wu Ze as she spoke .

For some reason, Mu Chenyan trusted Wu Ze with all her heart . However, this feeling had nothing to do with love .

Perhaps this was because Wu Ze was by her side during the darkest moments of her life . Therefore, this trust would follow Mu Chenyan for the rest of her life .

After he had eaten for a while, the handsome Attorney Wu's face turned slightly red . Frankly, his alcohol tolerance was never very high . However, he drank two bottles of beer . Was he intentionally trying to get drunk?

Wu Ze said, “I'm truly in awe of you, Little Chenyan . You're probably aware that I invited you out for a meal today because I took on Sun Xu's family's case . I want to get justice and compensation for Mrs Sun!”

Mu Chenyan was not shocked when she heard this because Wu Ze was always providing legal aid . The Sun Family had definitely sought out legal aid since they had already turned out like this .

“The Sun Family's case is actually very simple . It mainly required a courageous and righteous person who's brave enough to handle it . Regarding this matter, I'm actually sincerely in awe of my brother . Although he's an ugly person with a bad temper, he still has a sense of justice!”

While he was speaking, Wu Ze paused before he pretended to sound mysterious as he said, “He knew that you had left with Su Qingcheng long ago!”

Mu Chenyan was inwardly slightly shocked . Nonetheless, this was not surprising . If Wu Huai had not tacitly agreed to this, how could she have followed that case so smoothly?

However, how could he called a handsome “older man” like Wu Huai “an ugly person with a bad temper”?

Mu Chenyan could not help but laughed .

“Brother Wu Huai is really a positive person! However, the one who helped me get through to those connections and sent the manuscript was…”

“It was that b*stard Yuan Xuan!”

Wu Ze interrupted Mu Chenyan's sentence while a proud and sinister smile appeared on his face .

Mu Chenyan blushed . Apparently, everyone could guess that!

“The Yuan Family Mansion has been chaotic . These few years, Yuan Xuan has constantly been at odds with his second uncle in secret . Nie Chao's case hit one of the Yuan Family's second son's nerves . Yuan Tangzhong's transfer order to Capital City was held up because of this . ”

“Yuan Tangzhong was unwilling to accept this . Therefore, you have to be careful next time,” Wu Ze worriedly said . “Someone wanted to intentionally frame you during Shu Qinger's case three years ago . I don't want you to be involved in anymore mishaps!”

“Big Brother Wu, I actually wanted to tell you that Qinger is still alive…”

Mu Chenyan felt that Shu Qinger's incident was similarly one of Wu Ze's worries as well . Thus, Mu Chenyan felt that Wu Ze should know about this .

Wu Ze widened his eyes and looked at Mu Chenyan in disbelief . “How is that possible?”

Mu Chenyan's tone was indifferent when she explained the whole sequence of events to Wu Ze .

“Shu Qinger is now staying in Luo Hai, and Yuan Xuan bought her an art gallery for her to have an exhibition!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Ze sighed, “Yuan Xuan is someone who treasures his friendships . Since Shu Qinger had saved him in England once, perhaps that woman is using this as leverage against Yuan Xuan . A man is always afraid of owing people favors, more so if that man is Yuan Xuan . ”

When Mu Chenyan heard this, she realized that Wu Ze probably knew some inside information . She tugged at Wu Ze somewhat emotionally and said, “What exactly happened that year?”

Wu Ze could tell that Mu Chenyan only knew certain parts of the story . He quietly said, “Yuan Xuan was actually at risk during those years when he was studying in England . He encountered dangers numerous times from time to time because someone wanted to harm him!”

“There were two incidents that were more dangerous than the rest . I saved him the first time but I got shot because of that . He was kidnapped another time . Qinger happened to come to England to visit him at that time so the kidnappers took both of them away . ”

“That incident was slightly stranger because those three kidnappers didn't seem to want Yuan Xuan's life . On the contrary, they were waiting for someone's orders . Moreover, they didn't seem like skillful professionals because they revealed their goal too quickly . While the police were in the midst of the search and investigation process, the kidnappers panicked and planned to kill them to silence them . ”

“Qinger became frantic at that moment . It was rumored that she used her body to delay those kidnappers!”

Wu Ze paused and glanced at Mu Chenyan when he reached this part . He lowered his voice before he continued, “The kidnappers assumed that Qinger was Mu Chenyan when they were raping her . One of the kidnappers said that it'd be worth it even if he died because he managed to have his way with the young lady of the Mu Family that day…”

Mu Chenyan's entire body chilled to the bone!

She was completely unaware of this matter . She had probably just arrived in England at that time . However, she needed to briefly returned home because the Mu Family was facing trouble . She was absent during that period of time when Yuan Xuan was facing danger . Later, Yuan Xuan merely casually mentioned the issue and told Mu Chenyan that it was just a robbery .

Moreover, she was unaware that the kidnappers actually wanted to kidnap her . No wonder Qinger hated her to the bone and mentioned that it should have been her to experience the misfortune…

“Later, Shen Muqiu brought a team of armed personnel and saved Yuan Xuan before the police . This also marked the beginning of Yuan Xuan and Shen Muqiu crossing paths with each other . ”

“Shen Muqiu?” Mu Chenyan realized that she was basically living inside a vacuum . Apparently, she knew nothing about the things that were happening around Yuan Xuan .

This was simply because Yuan Xuan was too good at isolating her .

Wu Ze smiled, saying, “It looks like Yuan Xuan was really unwilling to tell you anything . Shen Muqiu was a descendant of Luo Hai's Shen Family . That year, Luo Hai's Shen Family was suppressed and ruined due to political reasons . Thus, the descendants of the Shen Family formed an underworld organization while they were exiled overseas . ”

“As a descendant of the Yuan Family, Yuan Xuan certainly needed to return to Luo Hai . Thus, Shen Muqiu could also return to Luo Hai sooner or later as long as he held on to his lifeline, Yuan Xuan . Conversely, Shen Muqiu also resembled a string in Yuan Xuan's hands now . Although they were engaged in business matters, he was also the reason why Yuan Xuan could smoothly and easily deploy great forces . ”

The more Mu Chenyan heard, the greater her heart trembled . “Are you saying that Yuan Xuan also holds power over the underworld organization?”

Wu Ze nodded . “Yuan Xuan's thoughts were too profound . I advised him long ago not to get too close to someone like Shen Muqiu but the first thing that he did when he returned from abroad was to buy the Shen Clan Mansion!”

“Shen Clan Mansion?”

“That's Liu Li Villa!”
