Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs Chapter 145 – Shocking Confession

Chapter 145: Shocking Confession

Mu Jingzhe thought that she was there to confirm her qualifications, so she answered the questions seriously, including the reason for the loan and her ability to make money.

These days, when Mu Jingzhe sold goods, it wasn’t just a cash transaction. The transactions went through the bank, and they could verify this by checking her account. Thus, she did have the ability to repay the loan.

“Although I’m still young, I’m already the head of a household. This is my identification.”

Mu Jingzhe placed the documents on the table. After the bank staff confirmed it, they calmed down.

This was real. Mu Jingzhe really wanted to get a loan. However, there was no concept of a successful career woman in that era. Everyone was shocked. In the end, they concluded that she had no choice but to be so strong because her husband had passed away.

In the end, Mu Jingzhe successfully borrowed money and completed the acquisition of the paper manufacturing factory. She even signed a ten-year contract for a mountain that was linked to the paper manufacturing factory.

Bamboo had been planted all over the mountain, and it was the main material of the paper mill. Bamboo would grow after being chopped, and its growth period was shorter than that of other trees. It was a very good material.

After doing this, Mu Jingzhe didn’t have much to worry about. She planned on taking on two or three more mountains like this.

Ji Buwang had originally thought that if Mu Jingzhe didn’t have enough money, he could lend her a portion. In the end, Mu Jingzhe took care of the loan herself.

When he heard that she’d managed to get a loan, the admiration in Ji Buwang’s eyes deepened. “Very impressive.”

He admired Mu Jingzhe’s courage and insight.

Mu Jingzhe was ashamed of being praised like this. “It’s nothing. You don’t understand. This is nothing to me. I feel ashamed when you praise me like this.”

It wasn’t like she was better than everyone else, but she had seen countless mortgage companies in the modern era.

Ji Buwang swallowed the rest of his words. “Alright, I won’t say anything then.”

After a lot of understanding, with Ji Buwang’s help, Mu Jingzhe finally managed to purchase equipment and machines to start producing toilet paper and sanitary napkins.

Mu Jingzhe didn’t lay off the paper mill’s employees, but she said that there would be changes going forward. If the employees weren’t willing to adapt, they could leave.

The employees panicked at first, afraid that they would be fired. Even though they were still worried after hearing her words, no one left. They only wanted to try their best to survive.

Their attitude made Mu Jingzhe very happy. She felt that it wouldn’t be long before they could start selling.

At the same time, Mu Jingzhe also bought some machines that could produce hair ornaments. In the future, not all of them would be man-made.

The factory had yet to be officially established, but it was already semi-automatic. It would be even faster in the future.

When the villagers saw that Mu Jingzhe had bought these machines, they were even more impressed by her. They repeatedly praised her for her capabilities and the children she was raising.

Everything went smoothly for Mu Jingzhe. She was initially in a good mood, but after she was done, she received a shock.

Tang Moling, whose breakup with Mu Xue was supposed to be an obstacle that spiced up and strengthened their relationship, didn’t reconcile with Mu Xue. Instead, he came to find Mu Jingzhe and made his ultimate move.

“Mu Jingzhe, I like you.”

Tang Moling didn’t confess his love to Mu Jingzhe right after he broke off his engagement to Mu Xue. Instead, he waited a while. However, he didn’t delay it for too long, as a long delay might bring trouble.

When he used to have no feelings for Mu Jingzhe in the past, he hadn’t noticed anything. However, after falling in love with Mu Jingzhe, he sensed that Shao Qiyang didn’t have any good intentions and had designs on his sister-in-law.

Tang Moling cursed him in his heart for being shameless, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was only natural. Mu Jingzhe was outstanding, and Shao Qiyang was living with her. As time passed, it was normal for him to be attracted to her.

Previously, Shao Qiyang had liked Mu Xue, just like him. Now, he liked Mu Jingzhe. He had good taste, but this wasn’t something to be happy about.

That was because he still remembered the conversation between Mu Jingzhe and Li Zhaodi earlier about Mu Jingzhe taking down Shao Qiyang or something. He was afraid that Shao Qiyang would benefit from being in a favorable position, so he didn’t dare delay for too long.

Tang Moling was sincere. This time, he didn’t ask her to be responsible for him or anything. After all, nothing had happened, and there was nothing to be responsible for. He only said that he liked her.

Seeing that Mu Jingzhe seemed to be in a daze and wasn’t responding to him, Tang Moling repeated himself.

“It’s true, Jingzhe. I’ve fallen for you. It’s not a dream.”

Tang Moling had dressed up meticulously. When he saw Mu Jingzhe, he even gave her a charming smile with eyes filled with adoration. It was all his fault for treating Mu Jingzhe so badly in the past. That was why she couldn’t believe it.

However, she would definitely be touched when she registered what he had just said. After all, it was he, Tang Moling, who was confessing his feelings for her. He had done so much for her.

In reality, Mu Jingzhe was only shocked and frightened. She raised her hand and slapped herself. “I must be dreaming.”

All of this was definitely just a nightmare.

Mu Jingzhe tried to convince herself, but her face hurt.

Tang Moling was shocked by Mu Jingzhe’s actions and quickly grabbed her hand. “What are you doing? You don’t have to hit yourself like this no matter how delighted you are.”

He smiled helplessly. “You don’t have to be so moved—”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Mu Jingzhe struggle out of his grasp as if she had seen a ghost. She took a few steps back with a guarded expression.

“Moved by what? Tang Moling, are you crazy? Are you trying to kill me?”

She had actually torn apart the main couple? She couldn’t bear the blame for the crime of causing the golden couple to break up.

Perhaps they were just making use of her because they’d quarreled? But even if they were using her, she would end up in a tragic state!

Mu Jingzhe stared at Tang Moling with a guarded, angry gaze. “Tang Moling, even if I offended you last time, you don’t have to take revenge on me like this. I was also a victim last time!”

Tang Moling, who was almost thrown to the ground by Mu Jingzhe, took two steps back before stabilizing himself. He was stunned by Mu Jingzhe’s reaction.

“No. Why would I hurt you? I’m not crazy. This isn’t revenge. I really like you—”

“Stop!” Mu Jingzhe couldn’t take it anymore and shouted, “Tang Moling, if I did anything wrong, I’ll change! Don’t scare me. I’ll reflect on myself. I don’t even know what I did wrong. I really only wish you and Mu Xue the best.”

She had always spoken favorably of Mu Xue and she sincerely wished for them to get married as soon as possible. She, the cannon fodder, would only be safe if they got married and left this place.

She had always been secretly cheering for the love between the male and female protagonists, trying her best to enhance their love. In the end, Tang Moling suddenly claimed that he liked her, the useless supporting actress, and didn’t like the female protagonist, Mu Xue?

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t stand the shock. She touched her heart, which had suffered a heavy blow. “Tang Moling, if you wanted to take revenge on me, you’ve succeeded. Please stop.”

During this period of time, Tang Moling had thought of all kinds of reactions Mu Jingzhe could possibly have, including disbelief, delight, and so on, but none of them had been like this.

“Mu Jingzhe, what must I do for you to believe that I’m sincere and I’m not seeking revenge?”

“You already told me that you like me. Isn’t this revenge? You belong to the female protagonist… Mu Xue. If you’re suddenly acting like this, aren’t you trying to speed up my death?”

“But I really mean it!”

After shouting, Tang Moling looked at Mu Jingzhe’s suspicious, guarded gaze and felt troubled for the first time.

Mu Jingzhe didn’t believe he was being sincere.
