Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 4

Three years later.

In the lobby of Bei City Airport, a piece of news was heard playing from the broadcasting system.

“In the latest financial news from Bei City, the Fu Corporation bought all the land along Shenlan Road and will build a large entertainment center there. It is reported that the area along Shenlan Road is an affluent residential area with many high-end neighborhoods and villas. Demolition will become an issue. Today, we are fortunate enough to interview Fu Lingye, the CEO of Fu Corporation, and to ask how he will solve this problem.”

As soon as Mu Tongrui got off the plane, she was attracted by the huge screen in the lobby.

On the screen, the man was wearing a cold gray suit, and a white shirt with a black tie tied meticulously at the collar. His skin was pale but not at all feminine, while his facial features were handsome and profound, exuding a cold and aloof presence. He was simply stunningly outstanding and impressive.

With his hands folded in his lap, the man was relaxed when facing the camera, while a faint smile tugged at his thin lips, and he said, “No one will ever think that they have a lot of money, not even the rich people living on Shenlan Road. If it is a problem that money cannot solve, it can only mean there's not enough money.”

A look of admiration and shock flashed across the host's face, as he politely asked with a smile, “So, Mr. Fu, how long will it take to complete this huge and complicated demolition task?”

The man faced the camera with sharp and shrewd eyes. “Within a week, Fu Corporation will solve all the residents' problems and complete the demolition.”

The screen switched from the handsome face of the man to Shenlan Road, which was now in a mess. The residents moved, and many houses had been demolished by the excavator, leaving a piece of

ruins.

Mu Tongrui widened her eyes in shock behind a pair of sunglasses.

She stared intently at the Mu's villa on the screen. The Mu's villa on Shenlan Road will also be demolished!

On the shaky screen, the reporter stopped a fashionable middle-aged woman, and asked, “Mrs. Shen, you are the owner of this villa. I heard that you have already negotiated the price and terms with Fu Corporation, is that true?” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

That woman was none other than her stepmother, Shen Qiu!

Shen Qiu smiled at the camera and said, “The conditions for the demolition offered by the Fu Corporation are very generous. We will not go against the Fu Corporation. We will pack up the things and hand in the keys today.”

Mu Tongrui held the urn that was tied with a black silk scarf in her arms so tightly that her knuckles went white.

There was a chill in her eyes. She couldn't go back to that home three years ago. However, after three years, no one could stop her from taking her father back to Mu's residence!

It was not just a villa in the rich area, but also her father's last refuge!

Mu Tongrui clenched her fists and hurried out of the airport dragging her suitcase.

The blue sky in Bei City in June was sunny. Compared to the cold night when she left the city, it looked like two different cities.

She raised her head to look at the hot sun, and reached out to touch the urn.

It's been three years, dad, I'm taking you home.

A car was heard honking, while the owner of a small white polo poked her head out and waved at her excitedly, “Tongrui! Over here!”

The corners of Mu Tongrui's lips turned upward, and she walked over quickly with her suitcase. When she got in the car, Ye Guo started to diss her as soon as she took off her sunglasses.

“You're so bad! Aren't we good friends? Three years ago, you flew to Paris without even telling me, making me feel so lonely all these years! “

Speaking of the changes three years ago, she dropped her eyes slightly, as a trace of disappointment flashed across her face, and then she smiled. “Aren’t I back now? I was too sad back then.”

Ye Guo looked at her with distress. “You must have had a hard time these three years, right? You are the daughter of the Mu family, but you were forced into this situation by your stepmother and stepsister. You have even lost weight.”

She chuckled and shook her head. “Fortunately, my father left a million in my account probably because he was afraid that something might happen to him. I only found out about this later. A million is not much, but it's enough for me to study art in Paris. I occasionally took odd jobs, and earned remuneration from submitting drawings to some companies. Life was not too hard.”

Ye Guo said as she drove the car, “By the way, you've just returned, you don't have a place to live yet, do you? I live alone in a two-room unit. If you come live with me, heh, you can help me share the rent too.”

Ye Guo knew that if she didn't take rent from Mu Tongrui, she would definitely be embarrassed to live with her, so she said that to make sure Mu Tongrui would not turn her down.

Ye Guo knew that if she didn't take rent from Mu Tongrui, she would definitely be embarrassed to live with her, so she said that to make sure Mu Tongrui would not turn her down.

“Sure. But why do you need to rent a house? Tell me frankly, did you have a conflict with your family?”

Ye Guo glanced at the traffic jam ahead, and pouted. “Duh, don't mention it. My mom urged me to have a blind date. I really can't stand it anymore, so I moved out from home. Worse still, my mom was so angry that she cut off all my living expenses. Isn't it annoying? By the way, you haven't found a job in China, right?”

“Yes.” Mu Tongrui knitted her eyebrows. “I may not be able to adapt to the domestic art industry.”

Ye Guo raised her brows triumphantly. “Woman, do you want me to give you a nice fat job?”

“Sure, if it fits my profession.”

“Of course, it fits! But you have to attend a dinner with me tonight.”

Ye Guo handed her the dinner invitation card. She glanced at it casually, and fixed her eyes on the guest list showing Fu Lingye.

Mr. Fu of Fu Corporation who wants to buy the land on Shenlan Road will also go to this dinner tonight?

Tongrui knitted her eyebrows slightly, pursed her lips and asked, “Guo, do you know this man called Fu Lingye?”

Ye Guo was stunned, and glanced at her in amazement. “Tongrui, don't tell me that you like Fu Lingye as well. You know, Fu Lingye is not someone to be trifled with. Anyone standing within 10m around him

can be frozen to death! Most of the women in Bei City who wanted to woo him were all almost frozen to death! If you want to get a boyfriend, I will introduce my brother to you! My brother is a great man!”

The thought of her uncle who was as cold as ice sent chills down Ye Guo's spine.

However, if there's spark between Tongrui and my uncle, I really wonder how my uncle is like when he is in love.

Tongrui's brow furrowed deeper. Earlier, with just a single glance on the TV, the first impression that the man gave her was that he wasn't someone to be trifled with.

As expected.

However, she had lost everything. In order to protect the Mu's villa, she must make Fu Lingye fall for her no matter what!
