Chapter 10 Missing a Wife

• Maybach drove away, while Fu Lingye fixedly stared at the figure that was growing smaller in the rearview mirror with cold eyes.
• The little one sitting next to him naughtily crawled onto his lap, and grabbed him, asking, “Daddy, why can't we bring Mu home for dinner?”
• Looking down, Fu Lingye raised his hand to touch his daughter's little head, and replied with great patience, “Do you like Mu so much?”
• “Yeah!” The little one blinked her big watery eyes and nodded at Fu Lingye.
• “Do you like her because she gave you candy?”
• However, the daughters of Qian, Zhao, Li and Sun who had been on a blind date with him before brought Sweetheart her favorite snacks as well, but this little one didn't like them much, and even cried asking him not to be with them.
• What kind of magic did Mu Tongrui cast on the little one?
• Sweetheart shook her head, while she formed two small circles with her fingers, and placed them on her two big eyes, that were staring at Fu Lingye, giggling. “Because Mu's eyes are as big as mine!”
• Fu Lingye was stunned. Even the little one can see that the woman looks a little like her?
• Fu Lingye held the little one on his lap, while pursuing his thin lips, with a dark look in his eyes.
• After a whole day of school, Sweetheart fell asleep in Fu Lingye's arms after a while. Lowering his voice, Fu Lingye asked Xu Kun, who was driving, “When will we get the DNA results?”
• “By the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. Boss, if Ms. Mu is really Sweetheart's biological mother...”
• Fu Lingye's face became gloomy. “Find out the detailed reasons for Mu Tongrui's surrogacy three years ago.”
• “Okay.”
• If that woman approached him and Sweetheart with malicious intention, he wouldn't mind hiding the fact and her identity as Sweetheart's biological mother forever.
• After getting off work from the kindergarten, Mu Tongrui dropped by Shenlan Road. When she walked to the Mu’s villa, she saw a large truck for moving house parked in front of the house.
• “Over here! Be careful! I bought this vase for more than one million! Can you afford to compensate me if you break it?”
• A harsh and familiar middle-aged woman's voice was heard, and Mu Tongrui looked over to see that Shen Qiu was frowning and ordering around the house moving company staff impatiently.
• A mover behind her carried a portrait out, while Shen Qiu's eyes shrank, and said disgustedly, “Throw this portrait away. It's heavy and takes up space, and annoying too!”
• The mover was about to throw away the portrait when Mu Tongrui was shocked. It was a portrait of her father!
• “Hold on!”
• Shen Qiu looked at the source of the voice. When she saw Mu Tongrui's face, she was stunned.
• “M-Mu Tongrui...? Didn't you leave North City?”
• Mu Tongrui flashed a faint smile that was filled with coldness and mockery. “Ms. Shen, it's been a while.”
• “Why are you still back to North City?”
• Mu Tongrui snatched the portrait from the mover and held it tightly in her arms. “This is my home. Why can't I come back?”
• “Heh!” Shen Qiu sneered. “I might as well tell you that this villa will be demolished soon, and you can't stop it! Besides, you have no right to stop it! After all, this villa is under my name!”
• Mu Tongrui held the portrait so tightly that her slender fingers went white, and said, with a resolute and brave look on her face, “I will never just sit and watch this villa be demolished!”
• Shen Qiu folded her arms across her chest, and said harshly, “Do you know how much this villa is worth when it is demolished? Forty million! Mu Tongrui, I think it's impossible for you to get this villa back! But... maybe it's possible if you sell your body!”
• Her words had completely angered Mu Tongrui. Recalling the ten million they had stolen three years ago; she clenched her fist and raised her hand to slap Shen Qiu's face. Just when her palm was about to land on her face, her wrist was caught in midair and flung aside with force.
• “Mrs. Shen, are you okay?” Jian Zhe, who hurried out of the villa, asked his 'future mother-in-law' with concern.
• Mu Tongrui gave Jian Zhe a cold stare without a trace of emotion, and walked out of the villa holding the portrait.
• Before she got out of the Shenlan Road, Jian Zhe chased after her, grabbed her by the wrist, and asked, “Why are you back?”
• She sneered. “Why can't I come back? Jian Zhe! Stop grossing me out here!”
• She pulled her wrist out of his palm forcibly, while she stared at him angrily with her bloodshot eyes, looking like an angry little beast!
• “I gross you out? Mu Tongrui! Where did you get the ten million three years ago?”
• “Who are you to ask me? Heh. So, does it mean that you know Shen Qiu and Shen Wanyue stole the ten million? Are you involved?”
• Jian Zhe was silent for two seconds with a guilty look on his face, and then grabbed her wrist again. “How can you make so much money in less than a year? Mu Tongrui, did you work as a prostitute?”
• She forced a chilling laugh. “I was really blind to be your girlfriend back then! You gross me out so much that I want to throw up!”
• She broke away from his grip, turned, and walked away holding the portrait without looking back.
• But when she turned around, her eyes were bloodshot.
• She was overwhelmed by the grievances and hatred in her heart.
• I must take revenge. I must make Shen Qiu, Shen Wanyue and Jian Zhe pay for what they did!
• She took a deep breath and dialed Ye Guo's phone number. She remembered that Guo had saved many phone numbers of high-class people in her phone.
• “Guo, do you have Fu Lingye's phone number?”
• Fu Manor.
• Fu Lingye stood at the window of his study and answered a call.
• “Boss, Mu Tongrui agreed to surrogacy three years ago because her father, Mu Guangqing, went bankrupt and was deep in debt. Mu Tongrui accepted the surrogacy in order to help her father repay the debt, but the ten million at that time seemed to have been stolen by her stepmother and step-sister. Her father committed suicide by jumping off the building due to pressure from the creditor. Even the Mu’s villa became the property of her stepmother. After giving birth three years ago, she went to study in Paris. It seems that Mu Tongrui should have no idea that Sweetheart is her biological daughter.”
• As soon as Xu Kun finished speaking, another call came in on Fu Lingye's phone.
• After hanging up Xu Kun's call and picking up the call from this unknown number, he heard a young and familiar voice of a woman coming from the other end of the line. There was slight hoarseness in her voice, as if she had just cried.
• “Hello, Mr. Fu, this is Mu Tongrui. You said that you are interested in my body. Does it still count?”
• Fu Lingye raised his brows, a hint of slyness flashed across his dark eyes. “I'm just joking. Did you take it seriously, Ms. Mu?”
• Swallowing hard, Tongrui said with difficulty, “Mr. Fu, I will do anything as long as you can keep the Mu Residence.”
• Fu Lingye was silent for such a long time that she felt like she was gradually sinking into the icy sea, and was about to be drowned. Only then did she hear his indifferent voice from the other end of the line, saying, “I'm not interested in keeping mistresses.”
• Mu Tongrui summoned her last bit of courage, closed her eyes, and slowly said, “I am not trying to be your mistress. Mr. Fu, I know that you're missing a woman to be Mrs. Fu, while I'm missing a strong and powerful backing.”
