Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 35

Fu Lingye’s words of humiliation caused Mu Tongrui’s chest to burst into flames. She was completely driven by anger. She suddenly raised

her hand and slapped Fu Lingye's left cheek but was neatly intercepted mid-air by the man, “Haven't you hit me enough last night? Would you like to hit me again?”

Fu Lingye's slender and strong fingers tightened, Mu Tongrui's wrist seemed to be shattered as he pinched. She was in great pain and her eyebrows wrinkled. Her eyes were red like a stubborn little beast struggling hard to escape. Mu Tongrui shouted uncontrollably, “Fu Lingye! Let me go! I could not bear with it anymore! Are you any better than me? You are worse than me when you had affairs with Xiang Nanqian without your eldest brother knowing!”

Fu Lingye pushed Mu Tongrui vigorously against the hard wall behind her. He stared at her with his dark eyes and said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

The strong impact between her back and the wall made Mu Tongrui's sore little face wrinkle, “You heart knows very well whether I am talking nonsense!”

Wasn't Fu Zehan the best evidence of affairs between Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian?

“Mu, Tong, Rui!”

Fu Lingye's eyes were full of anger. His big hand holding at Mu Tongrui's white and slender neck. He squeezed her neck tightly. The air in her throat gradually became thinner, causing her to suffocate. But Mu Tongrui didn't intend to beg for mercy!

The woman closed her eyes slightly. Two strings of tears dropped silently from the corner of her eyes.

Fu Lingye's dark eyes froze and he gradually let go of his big hand. Mu Tongrui was relieved, clutching her neck and coughing violently. Her small fair face was very red.

“Mu Tongrui, you better stay calm. Otherwise, I will break your neck by mistake!”

After the man warned her, he turned around and strode away.

Mu Tongrui hugged herself, squatted on the spot, and calmed down slowly for quite a long time. The fear deep in her heart did not fade away.

Fu Lingye almost strangled her just now only because she accused Xiang Nanqian.

She knew the importance of Xiang Nanqian in his heart. But Mu Tongrui could not understand why there was a strange jealousy in her heart after Fu Lingye severely humiliated her.

It must be a mistake.

She hated him so much now, so how could she be jealous?

Soon, when Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian were really together, she would be able to get rid of Fu Lingye without the need to care for his feelings!

...

Fu Lingye returned to the Fu Corporation full of grudge. It felt like a sign of 'no strangers come close' were written all over his face. The atmosphere around his body was freezing cold!

Xu Kun was taken aback when he came in.

Who angered the boss?

He cautiously and respectfully asked, “Boss, the party that your wife is going to attend tonight...”

Before Xu Kun finished reporting, the man suddenly frowned and interrupted, “Don't tell me anything about her!”

“...”`

Uh... But the boss asked him to check on Mu Tongrui earlier in the morning. Could it be that Mu Tongrui angered the boss?

Xu Kun didn't dare to speak any further. He immediately shut his mouth. But after a few seconds, Fu Lingye revealed a trace of irritation

between his eyebrows. His thin lips spit out a word coldly, “Speak!”

“...”

Was he going to say anything?

Xu Kun was sweating all over. He noticed Fu Lingye’s emotional changes. He spoke cautiously and slowly, “The party that your wife is going to attend tonight was organized by Shen Wanyue and she invited many VIPs of the industry. I heard that your wife was betting against Shen Wanyue that if she could attend the party with you admitting that she is your wife means Shen Wanyue loses the bet, she has to kneel down and bow three times to your wife. If you don’t attend... you wife will be losing.”

The man was expressionless, “What if she loses?”

“Then your wife will have to kneel down and bow three time to Shen Wanyue in front of everyone.”

Fu Lingye snorted coldly and felt disdainful.

He couldn't imagine Mu Tongrui would play such a boring game.

Xu Kun asked curiously, “Boss, do you want to accompany your wife to that party tonight?”

Mu Tongrui would be very embarrassed if Fu Lingye didn't rescue her from humiliation.

Fu Ling's eyes flashed and recalled the way the woman had treated him fiercely just a moment ago. He raised her eyebrows and said, “She is so capable, I guess she won't be needing me for the party.”

Mu Tongrui dared to fight Fu Lingye, so it must be easy for her to apprehend Shen Wanyue.

Xu Kun silently prayed for boss's wife, “If your wife loses...”

The man said coldly, “She can afford to lose the bet if she dared to bet.”

...

At eight o'clock in the evening, Mu Tongrui worn a small green dress and stood at the hotel entrance. She took a few deep breaths.

Just when she was about to enter, a familiar Range Rover stopped beside the entrance of the hotel. Jian Zhe and Shen Wanyue got out of the car. Shen Wanyue held Jian Zhe's arm intimately and walked proudly towards Mu Tongrui.

“Tongrui, what are you doing at the entrance? You dare not go in?”

Mu Tongrui swallowed her saliva. Her face was calm, “Who wouldn't dare to go in?”

Shen Wanyue deliberately looked around exaggeratedly, smiling with pride and ego, “Where is Fu Lingye? Why didn't I see him?”

Mu Tongrui squeezed her palms. The corner of her lips curled up with a sweet smile, “Lingye has an important social engagement tonight, he will be here in a short while.”

“Social engagement?” Shen Wan sneered, “I see, he totally ignored you? If you lose, you have to kneel down and bow to me three times in front of everyone. If you are really Fu Lingye's wife, I don't think he could afford you losing.”

Jian Zhe bit his lips, frowned and looked at Mu Tongrui. He purposely reminded Mu Tongrui in such a 'kind' manner, “Tongrui, it is still not too late for you to admit that you are lying. Wanyue shall forgive you.”

Mu Tongrui sneered, “Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it. Even if I lose, it's my own business. You don't have to be hypocritical!”

After Mu Tongrui spoke, she straightened her back, walked on her high heels, and entered the hotel without looking back.

Shen Wanyue held Jian Zhe's arm and snorted coldly with her red lips, “Okay, you asked for it!”

Tonight, she will make Mu Tongrui disappear forever from the entire circle!

...

The staggering lights were hanging there back and forth. There were a lot of guests tonight and especially ladies. It seemed that Shen Wanyue had already spent quite a fortune just to embarrass Mu Tongrui.

Mu Tongrui would reveal the true colors of Shen Wanyue and her vicious mother regardless of Gu Lingye's attendance! Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

It was too early to determine which side was to be embarrassed!

However, half an hour after the banquet had started, Mu Tongrui stood lonely by the pool, holding her mobile phone and wondering if she should beg Fu Lingye to come to the party. This thought lasted only three seconds before being dismissed by Mu Tongrui immediately.

Even if she begged him softly, a cold-blooded beast like Fu Lingye wouldn't help her. Furthermore, he almost broke her neck during the day, so why would Mu Tongrui beg him and apologize to him?

It was Fu Lingye who should apologize.

Mu Tongrui touched her neck and her heart still lingered in fear. There was an obvious pinch mark on her neck. She covered it with liquid foundation and make up powder before she came to the party.

Whenever Mu Tongrui thought of this, she would be filled with anger. Fu Lingye was nobody to her, so why should he be humiliating her?

“Tongrui, it's almost nine o'clock. Why hasn't Fu Lingye here yet? Are you going to say that there is a traffic jam going on?”

A mocking female voice was heard harshly. Mu Tongrui bit her lips and responded calmly, “Yes, traffic jams are normal at this hour.”

“I don't think Fu Lingye will come at all, will he? Stop acting anymore. You can kneel down and bow three times to me now, and leave here quickly. Stop embarrassing yourself here!”

Shen Wanyue was holding champagne and several lady friends of hers stood beside her while looking at Mu Tongrui in disdain.

“Mu Tongrui, it's already night time, so stop daydreaming and wake up!”

“You'd better kneel down and bow three times now! You are not allowed to bow any lesser than three times!”

Shen Wanyue stepped on her high heels and stood over there triumphantly. She said with a contemptuous tone, “Bow to me, Tongrui.”
