Chapter 104
Fu Lingye handed her the keys to the BMW when he came down for breakfast.
Mu Tongrui had previously rejected them but had epted it this time round.
The man smiled slightly, “epting it now?”
Mu Tongrui poured him some fruit juice, “The situation is different now.”
Back then, they didn''t share this kind of rtionship and she could not ept the car. But now that he
had admitted their rtionshipst night, she had no reason not to.
Sweetheart had a ring of milk stain around her lips and spoke childishly, “Daddy, what did you give
Mu''mu? Sweetheart wants it too!”
Fu Lingye ruffled the little one''s head, “When you grow older, Daddy will get you one.”
The little one nodded, “Ok!”
...
Fu Corporation, Creative department.
Mu Tongrui was summoned to Xiang Nanqian''s office the moment she stepped into the Creative
Department.
“Ms. Xiang, you had something to tell me?”
Xiang Nanqian wrapped her arms around herself and sneered, “Mu Tongrui, we don''t keep good for
nothings here. Just because you have Lingye''s support doesn''t mean you can do whatever you want. If
you don''t want to work, go back and be thedy of the house.”
Mu Tongrui was confused. She hadn''t provoked her in the past few days.
“Ms. Xiang, what do you mean?”
“What do I mean? I asked you to visit the set yesterday. Where were you?”
“I injured my arms at the set and was at the hospital...”
Before she could finish her sentence, Xiang Nanqian continued, “You don''t need to take leave when
you''re injured? You could have called me. Did you? I think you just don''t care!”
Xiang Nanqian was making things difficult for her on purpose. Mu Tongrui had nothing to defend
herself, “What do you want me to do?”
“Lingye''s backing you, I can''t do anything. But show me what you''re made of, Mu Tongrui.”
Mu Tongrui clenched her fist. She didn''t want others to look down on her- especially Xiang Nanqian,
her love rival. “Ms. Xiang, you often im that I have Mr. Fu''s backing and did not ce any efforts in
my work. Didn''t Ya Hua have apetition? Since Ms. Xiang also specializes in art, why don''t we have
a match to see if I am good enough!”
Xiang Nanqian agreed immediately, “Ok! But just a match like that isn''t exciting enough.”
“What then?”
A sly glint shed past her eyes, “How about this, if you lose, you have to get out of the Fu family! I
know you and Lingye are a fake couple, there''s no need for pretense.”
Mu Tongrui was silent. Xiang Nanqian purposely provoke her further, “Are you scared now? Worried?”
Mu Tongrui bit her lips, “I''m not afraid. Let''s bet!”
If she loses and Fu Lingye likes her even just a little, he wouldn''t allow her to leave the Fu family. But if
she wasn''t the one in Fu Lingye''s heart, he would stand by Xiang Nanqian and not stop her from
leaving. It was a good opportunity for her to test out Fu Lingye.
“But if I win and you lose, what happens?”
Xiang Nanqian made herst stand, “Same. If I lose, Xiaohan and I will leave Fu family and live
elsewhere!”
“It''s a deal.”
If she managed to win and get rid of Xiang Nanqian, it would be a beautiful victory. She had long
wanted to live away from Xiang Nanqian. Furthermore, she didn''t like the idea of Xiang Nanqian always
hanging around Fu Lingye.
After Mu Tongrui left the office, Xiang Nanqian''s phone rang.
The call was from Tong Yi Kai.
A look at the caller ID, Xiang Nanqian became troubled. In a loud voice, she answered, “Tong Yi Kai,
stop pestering me. I won''t ept you!”
“With perseverance, you can achieve anything. Qian, don''t be too sure. Perhaps one day, you would
really fall for me. I''ll fetch you after work tonight. Would you like a steamboat, Japanese, Korean or
Western meal?”
As she listened to Tong Yi Kai''s rambling, she got frustrated, “Tong Yi Kai, I wouldn''t fall for you even if I
turned blind! Stop wasting your efforts!”
“Who knows, you''d turn blind one day and end up falling for me? Be good and tell me what you''d like
for dinner.”
The more frustrated she was, the more patient Tong Yi Kai became. She was infuriated!
“Tong Yi Kai! I''m not having anything!”
The man teased, “No steamboat, no Japanese, no Korean and no Western meal. How about having
me then?”
“Tong Yi Kai!”
Xiang Nanqian was so furious, she hung up!
...
Fu Corporation, CEO''s office.
Fu Lingye tidied the cases on hand and asked, “Oh yes, how is Jian Corporation?”
Xu Kun reported, “Boss, ever since we released the news not to allow any bank to give out a loan to
Jian Corporation, Jian Corporation has been in deep water and will likely announce bankruptcytest
by tomorrow noon.”
Fu Lingye touched his sleeves and muttered, “Continue to monitor.”
“Boss, should we purchase Jian Corporation at a low rate now? Even if you ask for half the market
price right now, they will still agree.”
“Let them have the money and allow them to operate a small business in Bei City?”
Fu Lingye had no such intention.
Xu Kun was stunned. It seemed that Fu Lingye''s actions had nothing to do with business this time. Was
it personal?
Fu Lingye wanted to get rid of the Jian family from Bei City?
He knew Jian Zhe is Miss Mu''s ex-boyfriend. But that was all in the past. Why did he have to do so and
chase them out of Bei City?
“Boss, what you meant was...”
Once Jian Corporation announced its bankruptcy, tons of creditors woulde knocking on their door.
Jian family would be forced to leave Bei City for their own safety and may likely never be able toe
back.
What a vicious method! With this, he could get rid of the Jian family once and for all. Jian Zhe would
have no choice but to move out.
“Don''t let her know about this.”
Her? Surely he is referring to Miss Mu?
Who knows what Miss Mu would think if she ever learns about it.
Fu Lingye in the business world was much more vicious than he appeared to be in front of Miss Mu.
With such a huge family business, Mu Tongrui couldn''t possibly expect his methods to be exactly clean.
It was something she had to get used to earlier.
...
In the noon, Xiang Nanqian threw her a case.
“Mu Tongrui, you have no cases on hand currently. This case is almostpleted by Amy. We''re only
left with the signing of the contract. Go meet the partnering boss for the contract signingter.”
Mu Tongrui nced at the time, “But I have to knock off earlier. Sweetheart is sick and I have to
apany her for a jab.”
“Who''s child wouldn''t fall sick? Only your daughter needs to be taken care of?”
Mu Tongrui replied angrily, “Xiang Nanqian, Sweetheart is your niece too. How could you say such a
thing?”

“So are you going or not? How many assignments that I gave you werepleted? How often did
Lingye have to clean the mess up after you?”
She knew Xiang Nanqian brought up Fu Lingye to provoke her. But she couldn''t back off, “Fine. I''ll go
right now.”
Wasn''t this case almost done?
The signing of contract shouldn''t take too long.
Xiang Nanqian handed the partnering boss'' name card to her, “Contact him yourself and settle the
contract by afternoon. If you fail, this contract may not belong to us anymore.”
Mu Tongrui took the contract and headed for the carpark. She called the boss as she walked towards
her car.
The call went on for a while before someone answered. The sound of a middle-aged man''s lethargic
voice came through, “Hello? Who''s that?”
“Hello, is this Mr. Jia? I''m Mu Tongrui from Fu Corporation, Creative Department. The contract we were
discussing previously has yet to be signed. Where are you right now? I''lle and look for you.”
Mr. Jia recovered from his lethargy at the voice of a youngdy over the receiver, “Miss Mu right? I''m at
the Penins Hotel. I''ll wait for you here. I''ll arrange for my assistant to fetch you once you have
arrived and we can proceed with the signing of the contract.”
Mu Tongrui did not think too much. After all, many bosses stayed in hotels, “Ok, I''ll head over.”
