Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

At eight o'clock in the evening, Ye Guo took Mu Tongrui to the dinner venue after dressing up.

Outside the venue, there was a row of limited-edition luxury cars parked uniformly. The people walking

around during the dinner were distinguished, rich, and powerful, who were either the CEO, or the

socialites. Of course, there were exceptions as well, such as Mu Tongrui, a notoriously miserable

daughter of Mu family in Bei City.

Even though circumstances had changed, it did not mean that some things would be so easily erased

from people's memories.

Ye Guo pointed at a tall figure standing not far away, and whispered to Mu Tongrui, “That is Fu Lingye.

Are you going to talk to him now? But Tongrui, I advise you to think twice.”

The man was shrouded in a dazzling and glamorous aura, while the women around him were

generous, gorgeous, and prominent.

After taking a deep breath, and bending the corners of her soft lips, Mu Tongrui picked up a glass of

champagne, and was about to walk over in her high heels when Ye Guo stopped her. “Do you plan to

go over just like this? Girl, don’t you know you will become cannon fodder? Look at the 'coquettish

b*tches' around him, all of them are wearing revealing dresses!”

Ye Guo straightened her chest, and pulled down the neckline of Mu Tongrui's evening dress, revealing

a seductive and perfect cleavage.

Her ears went red with embarrassment.

Ye Guo cheered her up. “Trust me. You're hot with cleavage.”

She plucked up her courage, ran her fingers through her long hair, and walked over.

When Tongrui walked toward Fu Lingye, she attracted a lot of attention which was filled with

suspicions, doubts, and surprise.

“This girl looks kind of familiar.”

“I've seen her. Oh, I remembered, she seems to be the daughter of the boss of Mu Group that went

bankrupt three years ago!”

“Oh? Mu Group was very miserable. Her father, Mu Guangqing, committed suicide by jumping off the

building. It is said that his brain and blood smeared the ground!”

“I heard that she was also driven out by her stepmother and stepsister, and being left with nothing!”

“She has disappeared for so long, and yet she dares to appear in this circle again. Doesn't she

understand the truth that she is now worse than an ordinary person?”

Those noisy discussions made Tongrui's back straighter.

It's true that I'm Mu Tongrui, and I'm miserable, but all this cannot stop my determination to make Fu

Lingye fall for me tonight!

Under the dazzling light, the man's cold gaze suddenly fell on the face of the woman walking toward

him when he turned around with champagne in his hand.

“Hi, Mr. Fu, my name is Mu Tongrui.”

Tongrui politely stretched out her hand to greet him, but he glanced indifferently at her fair palm under

the gazes of the onlookers, and did not intend to shake hands with her, even after taking a sip of

champagne.

She was not irritated, nor embarrassed, as she continued to speak gently, “Mr. Fu, I heard that you are

going to buy all the land on Shenlan Road. My father’s villa is also on that road. Could you please have

mercy—”

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Lingye had already turned around indifferently to leave with a

hand in his pocket.

Tongrui was a little anxious. “Mr. Fu, I know you are busy, but can you give me five minutes?”

The scattering light made his profile appear cold and indifferent, and he glanced at her. “Why should I

give you five minutes?”

Everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Tongrui had butterflies in her stomach, but she appeared very calm, as she raised her beautiful red lips,

and walked up to Fu Lingye. She then boldly wrapped her fair slender arms around his neck, with her

red lips by his ear, saying in a perfectly ambiguous tone, “We can have a whole night together tonight if

you want, Mr. Fu.”

Tongrui usually despised such tactics, but she had to use it tonight. While despising herself in her

heart, she went all out and showed her trump card.

Fu Lingye turned his head slightly, his dark eyes staring sharply at her faintly blushing face. “Miss Mu, it

seems this is not the first time we have met.”

Judging from the current situation, maybe this girl really faked an accident and bumped into my car on

purpose three years ago?

Puzzled, Tongrui frowned slightly, while her hands around Fu Lingye's neck were removed by him

before he walked away.

Puzzled, Tongrui frowned slightly, while her hands around Fu Lingye's neck were removed by him

before he walked away.

Not giving up, Tongrui quickly followed. The man deliberately stopped walking, causing her to hit her

nose on his broad back.

Being in high heels, she staggered to retain her balance.

“Mr. Fu, that villa is very meaningful to me, please...”

Fu Lingye turned around, and saw the girl's reddish eyes and helpless look. Wearing a pair of black

shiny handmade leather shoes, Fu Lingye stood in front of her with patience, raised his slender fingers

with well-defined joints, and pulled up the neckline of her dress that was deliberately pulled down. He

then spoke calmly, “Girl, since you can't go all out, you must know how to respect yourself.”

There was no joy nor anger in his tone, let alone any pity. There was only a chill that cut deep into the

bones.

She stared at the man leaving, as she stood rooted to the spot under the light, being sneered by a

group of people, who were judging her.

“See, it's impossible Mr. Fu will fall for her!”

“That's right. He even turned down the superstar, Yan Yi, last month, would he pay attention to a

miserable girl?”

Ye Guo immediately rushed over upon seeing what happened, and quickly walked out of the venue

with her arm around Mu Tongrui's shoulders.

Ye Guo patted her chest confidently, and said, “Don't pay attention to those people. Didn't you

approach Fu Lingye just to ask him not to demolish Mu's villa? Don't you worry. Leave this matter to

me!”

She forced a smiled, and said, her voice cracking, “Guo, I'm fine. I am not humiliated by Fu Lingye. I

am just worried that I will not be able to stop Fu Corporation's demolition plan within a week.”

Ye Guo squeezed her shoulders. “Unexpected things can happen too in this world even if it’s a

certainty. What if Fu Lingye doesn't demolish your villa?”

“Let's not talk about this. By the way, you said that you want to introduce me to a nice fat job during the

day, which company is it?”

Ye Guo blinked her eyes playfully at her. “Art and Design Department of Fu Corporation.”
