Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 81

“I'm not staring at you.”

Mu Tongrui hurriedly turned away her burning flushed face. When she was struggling to get up from him, the big hand on her waist suddenly tightened its grip, while the man frowned and looked at her forbearingly, murmuring in a hoarse voice, “Don't move.”

“This is the office,” Mu Tongrui reminded him in a low voice.

Of course, I knew this is the office.

But she stared at me so “glowingly” with her clear eyes, is she sure she isn't expecting something?

The man's gaze became even tenser and deeper. “You stare at me so glowingly, aren't you expecting to do something with me in the office?”

This man is too narcissistic!

“I don't expect to do something with you in the office.”

Does he have this kind of thoughts in his mind all day?

There was a knock on the door, and Xu Kun reminded him from the outside, “Boss, the board of directors meeting is about to start.”

Mu Tongrui quickly got off his lap. “I-I have to go back to work too!”

I originally came to him to settle the accounts, but then, how did it become like this?

Fu Lingye grabbed her in the wrist and looked at her with dark eyes, saying, “Wait for me after getting off work tonight, and we'll pick up Sweetheart from school together.”

She nodded her head. “Okay.”

Mu Tongrui came out of the office and ran into Xu Kun head-on.

Seeing that her anger seemed to have eased, Xu Kun deliberately asked tentatively, “Miss Mu, have the problems between you and the boss been resolved?”

Mu Tongrui was stunned for a moment, and then nodded her head with a flushed face, before she hurriedly walked towards the lift.

Fu Lingye came out with the file, with an arrogant and stern look on his handsome face. “Choose the right time for meeting next time.”

“Huh?”

When Xu Kun came back to his senses, he looked at the man's upright back, shuddering.

Could it be that I disturbed the boss just now?

When Mu Tongrui returned to the Creative Department, they were in a meeting, and she tiptoed to quietly sit down, but Xiang Nanqian saw her.

“Mu Tongrui, this meeting has nothing to do with you, so you can go out now.”

She looked up at the content of the meeting on the projector screen, which was a pitching event jointly organized with Ya Hua Animation. “But I—”

“Go out now. Don't waste our time.”

Mu Tongrui took a deep breath and walked out of the meeting room under the disdainful gazes of everyone.

After the meeting was over, Mu Tongrui went directly to Xiang Nanqian's office. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ms. Xiang, I also want to participate in the pitching this time. Although I am an illustrator, the illustrator and artist are basically the same.”

“Do you think you can just participate if you want to? Mu Tongrui, do you think you own the company?”

Mu Tongrui knew that Xiang Nanqian was finding faults. “Ms. Xiang, please give me a good reason why I cannot participate in the pitching”

Sneering, Xiang Nanqian raised her eyebrows and looked at her. “There's no reason. I just don't want you to participate in this pitching”

Since Mu Tongrui joined the Fu Corporation, she had been stealing the limelight everywhere, so it was impossible for Xiang Nanqian to give her the chance to steal the limelight in this pitching event with Ya Hua.

“If you have nothing else to talk to me, you may go out now. I still have to work.”

Mu Tongrui walked out of Xiang Nanqian's office in a depressed mood, thinking, Do I really need to ask Fu Lingye for help?

However, that man has always been on Xiang Nanqian's side. Will he help me?

The Shen family villa.

While putting on a diamond necklace around her neck, Shen Qiu reminded Shen Wanyue, “When we attend the family dinner at the Qi Family, you must behave well and impress Uncle Qi.”

“Mom, you're bending my ear!

Shen Qiu snorted coldly. “If you have learnt your lesson, you should leave Jian Zhe as soon as possible. He made such a big fool of himself at the wedding, and has a vague relationship with Mu Tongrui. Do you still want to be with him?”

Shen Wan replied, “Isn't it normal for him to have a vague relationship with Mu Tongrui? I initially stole him from Mu Tongrui anyway.”

“You...”

“Alright, okay, mom, don't worry, I will break up with Jian Zhe soon. He and Mu Tongrui caused us to lose face in front of so many people last time, so it is impossible for me to be with him anymore. Besides, I have lost interest in him.”

“That's good then.” Shen Qiu glanced at her daughter in the mirror and said with a smile, “The Jian family is not powerful now. If you really marry Jian Zhe, we may even need to support them financially. But the situation now is different. I will soon get married with your Uncle Qi, and you will become the daughter of the Qi family. If you behave well and win Qi Yanli's heart, then in the future, not only the properties of the Qi Family will be yours, but also Ya Hua, that belongs to Qi Yanli.”

Shen Qiu patted her daughter's hand and said, “Wanyue, you must seize this opportunity.”

“But, if I date Yanli while you're married to Uncle Qi, will Uncle Qi have a problem with that?”

Amused, Shen Qiu said, “You have no blood ties with Qi Yanli. As long as you're able to win over him, your Uncle Qi won't be able to do anything. If you're with Qi Yanli, we will have closer ties. What's wrong with that?”

Recalling the incident whereby Qi Yanli gave Mu Tongrui an Audi car, Shen Wanyue couldn't help but frown and said angrily, “Mom, it turns out that Mu Tongrui also knows Yanli, and Yanli even gave her a car last time!”

“What are you talking about? Why does Mu Tongrui appear everywhere? Wanyue, listen to me clearly, even if you can't get Qi Yanli, you can't let Mu Tongrui get him. We must make sure that Mu Tongrui can't have a better life than us! Humph, she is just a miserable girl, who has lost everything, and is no match to you. You have the Qi family as your backing now.

“But mom, her relationship with Fu Lingye seems to be true. If the Fu family supports her, I'm afraid she will do more impudent things than what she did at the wedding last time.”

Shen Qiu's eyes turned cold. “Then, we'll make the Fu family hates her and drives her out of the Fu family completely! Without the Fu family, she can no longer be so brazen.”

Shen Wanyue thought of Xiang Nanqian. “Mom, don't worry, I will definitely make sure Mu Tongrui end up being alone and helpless.”

Shen Wanyue made a phone call after leaving the bedroom.

“Hello, Ms. Xiang? Regarding the things you told me last time, I have made a decision.”

“What would that be, Ms. Shen?”

“I agree to work with you to drive Mu Tongrui out of the Fu family. I have lived with Mu Tongrui for more than ten years. I know her best. Don't worry, I will definitely drive her out of the Fu family.”

Xiang Nanqian smiled faintly. “Ms. Shen, I look forward to our collaboration.”

After Shen Wanyue hung up, a loud shout was heard coming from downstairs.

“Wanyue, listen to me! Nothing had really happened between me and Mu Tongrui! Would you give me another chance?”

Staring at Jian Zhe downstairs, Shen Wanyue smiled, as a look of cunning and calculating flashed across her face.

She turned and went downstairs to allow Jianzhe into the house, and coldly ordered, “Come in.”

Jian Zhe stepped forward and hugged her, saying, a little excited, “Wanyue, you finally forgive me, don't you?”

“Forgive you? Depends on your performance.”

“I am willing to do anything you want me to, as long as you are willing to forgive me.”

He hugged her tighter, while Shen Wanyue frowned, and pushed him away a little disgustingly. “My mom is still at home, don't touch me. I haven't forgiven you yet.”

“Just tell me. I am willing to do anything you ask me to, as long as you promise to forgive me!”
