Mu Chen sent a message to Lu Ze, saying, "Why did you delete the photos?"

Left waiting, right waiting, it took about two or three minutes before Lu Ze replied to him, "Back then, my eyes were blind and I didn't see, letting something that shouldn't have been in the picture be included."

Mu Chen felt that something was wrong with what was said, "Who are you calling a thing?"

Lu Ze: "So, you're not a good person after all."

Although it was just chatting through text, it made Mu Chen think of that despicable smirk on Lu Ze's face when he was infuriated in the small woods of the drama school that afternoon.

"Muph." Mu Chen spat at his phone screen in disdain, feeling that now was not the time for idle chatter with Lu Ze. So he shifted the subject to the main point, "There will be a press conference held in the exhibition hall on the first floor of Xingyu Company tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Do you want me to drive and pick you up?"

Lu Ze didn't know if Zhou was busy or just too lazy to reply to him. He waited for quite a while, but he still hadn't received a response to his somber message.

Seeing that it was already past six o'clock, and feeling his growling stomach, he went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat.

When dinner was ready, Mu Chen checked his phone again, but Lu Ze still hadn't replied to him.

This made him feel that the situation was a bit ominous. Could Lu Ze be playing tricks on him?

Mu Chen sent another message to Lu Ze, "Are you there? Please reply if you received the message. Don't play tricks on me. You promised this afternoon, if you don't show up tomorrow, I will come to your school every day to confront you."

Muchen ate the freshly cooked noodles while waiting for Lu Ze's reply.

He can actually cook, but he finds it troublesome. When he's alone at home without any work or notifications, he either makes instant noodles or boils noodles. He always tries to find the easiest way to do things.

Halfway through the meal, Mu Chen's phone finally made a notification sound. He quickly set down his chopsticks and picked up the phone.

The message was indeed sent by Lu Ze.

"I didn't play you, but I have some business to attend to tomorrow, so I won't be able to attend the press conference."

Is this not playing with him? Mu Chen immediately became angry and sent a voice message directly, "Didn't you promise me in the afternoon that you would come forward to clarify the rumors? Are you going back on your word?"

Li Zex replied quickly this time. One minute later, the message came through: "I agreed to clarify the situation on your behalf, but I didn't agree to attend the press conference tomorrow. I have something going on tomorrow. The school's charity event is still ongoing, and I have to continue participating."

"Why is this public welfare activity so important that I can't take a leave?" Mu Chen thought that this press conference was only for clarifying rumors and would probably last for only about ten minutes, not delaying for too long.

"Searching for the abducted children, the campaign is expected to conclude around the end of the month." In order to make Mu Chen believe, Lu Ze also sent him a picture. It was a snapshot from today's event, with a sea of people and images of abducted children hanging everywhere.

There's about half a month left until the event ends. Lu Ze thought Mu Chen was going to throw a tantrum again, but instead, Mu Chen only replied with one sentence, "I'll ask the company if we can change the time to the evening."

After sending this message, Mu Chen put down his phone and went to the living room to call Liang Xiao on the landline. It was just to adjust the time for the press conference, which wasn't difficult to handle. Liang Xiao did not make things difficult for Mu Chen.

Mu Chen returned to the dining table and picked up his phone. Just as he had made a phone call earlier, Lu Ze sent him a message, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so caring."

Mu Chen ignored his comment and instead informed him of the revised time, "The time is set for tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock. Don't be late."
