Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 30

Twenty minutes later, Fu Lingye received a call from Xu Kun when he was still working in the study room.

“Hey, Boss. The person in charge at Nanshan Cemetery says that young master Zibo had bought a cemetery for your wife's father. This...”

Fu Lingye bit his thin lips and was silent for a long time. He said indifferently, “Let it be.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The man said those few words as if 'it's none of his business' and hung up the phone.

When he looked down at the document again, his heart felt impetuous and sullen.

Did Mu Tongrui have any consciousness of being his woman?

Did she feel that she can be together with other men without a proper marriage certificate?

Since Mu Tongrui wanted to choose a good cemetery for Mu Guangqing, why didn't she mention it to him when she came to the study just now? But instead, she turned around and discussed with his nephew?

Mu Tongrui was Sweetheart's biological mother. She is the mother of his child. How could she get together with his nephew?

A thick layer of ice formed under Fu Lingye's dark eyes.

...

Mu Tongrui first went back to Ye Guo’s apartment. Ye Guo was not at home and Tongrui didn’t know where she went. After she took Mu Guangqing’s ashes and packed it, she took a taxi and went back to Mu family villa.

Standing at the door of Mu family villa, she suddenly felt like a world apart.

After three years, she was finally able to return to this villa in a fair manner.

She was holding the urn and murmured, “Dad, we are home.”

The key was given by Fu Lingye after signing an agreement with him. After opening the door, there were many dust particles floating in the air because no people lived there for an extended period. The expensive furniture in the villa was evacuated by Shen Qiu. The rest was either too old or worthless, and the empty villa looked very old.

Mu Tongrui wiped the table clean in the living room before putting Mu Guangqing's urn carefully on it, “Dad, you will have to stay here tonight. Over the years, you have not been buried and need to travel with me. It was all my fault. I will bring you to Nanshan Cemetery to settle down first thing tomorrow morning.”

Mu Tongrui cleaned the house. She felt relieved after it had been cleaned.

When she left the Mu family villa, her mobile phone rang.

“Tongrui, I have a private party at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Everyone heard that you are married to Fu Lingye and they were all very curious.

Why don't you bring Fu Lingye over and let us get together?”

On the other end of the phone was Shen Wanyue's provocative and mocking tone.

Mu Tongrui calmly said, “No, I don't like to go to any party, and you know that Lingye is very busy. You guys have fun without us.”

Shen Wanyue sneered twice, “Tongrui, are you not interested in parties or dare not attend parties? If you are really married to Fu Lingye, it shouldn't be difficult for him to come to this kind of party with you? Or... are you lying?”

Mu Tongrui clenched her fists and listened to the smug voice of Shen Wanyue on the mobile phone. She felt annoyed, “If I bring Fu Lingye to the party and admit that I am his wife, you will kneel down and bow to me three times in front of everyone.”

Shen Wanyue was full of confidence, “Okay, if you have the ability, bring Fu Lingye along for all of us to see. But I have to remind you that if Fu Lingye denies your relationship in front of everyone or does not appear at the party, I need you to kneel down and bow three times for me. How's that sound?”

“Perfect!”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Tongrui's eyes reflected in coldness.

Shen Qiu and Shen Wanyue took away all the property of the Mu family and the ten million from her surrogacy, and indirectly killed Mu Guangqing. She would never forgive Shen Qiu and Shen Wanyue!

...

After Shen Wanyue hung up the phone, her friends covered their mouths and laughed next to her.

“Wanyue, don't worry. Tongrui must be a liar! Just a few days ago at a charity dinner, I saw her intentionally strike up a conversation with Fu Lingye. But Fu Lingye didn't even look at her. How could Fu Lingye marry her in just a few days?”

“Hmph, I'm already expecting her to bow for me three times in front of everyone tomorrow night!”

“What if she doesn't come here tomorrow night? Will we miss a good show?”

Shen Wanyue narrowed her eyes and glanced viciously, “I know her. She is already in despair but refuses to beg for mercy. She still has to pretend to be innocent. She will be here even if it is for the sake of saving herself from embarrassment!”

At Du Bar that night, Shen Wanyue tried to harm Mu Tongrui, but she didn't expect Fu Lingye to be there. A few days ago, Shen Wanyue asked her friends from the Civil Affairs Bureau to check on Mu Tongrui. She was not married at all and Fu Lingye was still single!

It's not that easy to lie to her! Shen Wanyue didn't believe that a noble man like Fu Lingye would fall in love with such a substandard woman!

She was waiting to see Mu Tongrui's embarrassment tomorrow night!

...

After agreeing to Shen Wanyue's invitation, Mu Tongrui returned to Fu family house with all kinds of thoughts on her mind.

She wondered whether Fu Lingye would reject her. After all, that man was also very difficult to talk with.

As soon as she arrived at Fu family house, she saw that the maid was already clearing the dinner table.

Had they already eaten?

Mu Tongrui raised her hand to look at her watch. It was only half past six!

She already informed Fu Lingye that she would come back for dinner in the evening.

The maid, Lan, greeted Mu Tongrui respectfully, “Young mistress, you are back.”

Mu Tongrui said, “Lan, have you eaten dinner?”

“Yes, young master Lingye said that he was hungry so the whole family eat earlier today.”

Mu Tongrui's mouth twitched, “Then... is there any food left? I...”

She touched her belly and said awkwardly, “I haven't taken dinner yet.”

As soon as she spoke, there was a lonesome male voice coming from upstairs, “Aren't you very capable? Why had no one invited you for dinner?”

People bought her a cemetery but couldn't care to buy her dinner?

Mu Tongrui frowned and looked at Fu Lingye. She saw him coming down from the stairs with a strange tone, “I don't understand what you mean. It's fine if there is no dinner. Why are you talking like this?”

Seeing that the two of them were in some sort of misunderstanding and were about to quarrel, Lan tried to be the peacemaker and immediately said, “Young mistress, I’ll cook a bowl of noodles for you now...”

Before Lan could even finish her words, Fu Lingye curled her eyebrows and scolded her, “Lan, your business is done here!”

Lan was startled. Although young master Lingye had cold attitudes, he rarely scolded his maids. Lan did not dare to say anything, “Yes, young master.”

Mu Tongrui watched Lan hold back her feelings. She felt very uncomfortable seeing that. She had never used to bullying ever since she was a child, “Fu Lingye, if you have anything against me, just say it out. There is no need to lose your temper with Lan.”

Fu Lingye wrinkled her eyebrows deeper. Who gave Mu Tongrui the courage to challenge him?

The man only glanced at her coldly, as if he didn't bother to pay attention to her. He turned around and went upstairs.

“...”

Mu Tongrui was speechless and she was too lazy to care about him. She went into the kitchen to find food.

But what made her even more speechless was that she could not find any food at the kitchen of such a big house!

Lan, who was wiping the cutleries, seemed to understand something. This afternoon, young master had already ordered his maids to take away all the food from the kitchen. Was it because he just wanted to starve the young mistress?

However, what was the reason behind the rage of young master?

As soon as she arrived at Fu family house, she saw that the maid was already clearing the dinner table.
