Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

There would always be some insensitive people interrupting Fu Lingye and Mu Tongrui's peace and

quiet during their stay at the hospital.

Fu Jia came today following Shen Wanyue's visit two days ago.

Fu Zhenghui came to pay them a visit before, but his intention was merely to visit them. He had not

mentioned anything about the kidnap.

Fu Lingye understood what Fu Zhenghui was thinking. He wasn't planning on interfering and wants to

let Fu Lingye manage it himself.

After all, Zhao Xian and Fu Jia were in the wrong. Moreover, Uncle Zhenghui was a rational man and

would never cover-up a mistake no matter who did it.

This trait of his was vastly different from Fu Zhengyuan's.

Sometimes Fu Lingye would think that his father and Uncle Zhenghui were not brothers by blood

because of how different their personalities tend to be.

Fu Zhenghui was a rational and upright man; whereas although Fu Zhengyuan looked like a stern man,

he would tend to cover-up mistakes depending on who did it.

Take last year for example, Sweetheart scratched another kid not long after she attended her

kindergarten. At that time, Fu Lingye was busy with work and it was always Fu Zhengyuan who would

handle all of Sweetheart's problems. Fu Zhengyuan being an authoritative leader in the business world,

should be someone rational. However, Fu Lingye had grossly underestimated Fu Zhengyuan's ability to

cover-up shortcomings for his family member.

Sweetheart had beaten someone else up and got reprimanded by the kindergarten teacher. She was a

finicky child and it would be quite normal for her to cry after being reprimanded. However, when Fu

Zhengyuan got to the kindergarten, he hugged his granddaughter and scolded the teacher harshly

regardless of the reason.

Sometimes, Fu Zhengyuan didn't care who was right or wrong but it all depends on who he was

dealing with. No one can stop Old Master Fu if he wants to cover-up for someone.

After that incident, the teachers in that kindergarten would always speak softly and tread carefully

around Sweetheart.

Fu Lingye brought Sweetheart to apologize to the teacher after that. However, Fu's family had already

left the impression that they are an unreasonable lot in most teachers' minds.

This was the incident that led up to Sweetheart being transferred from a local kindergarten to an

international kindergarten.

In contrast, Zhao Xian had been imprisoned for a few days now since she took the blame for Fu Jia.

But Uncle Zhenghui had not said a word to him, and it looked like he wasn't planning on it either.

Fu Jia looked like she was about to cry the moment she walked into the ward. She kneeled down in

front of Fu Lingye.

“Big brother, I'm begging you. It's all my fault...I'm your sister, are you really going to be that heartless?”

Fu Lingye looked at her coldly and said, “You shouldn't be begging me.”

Fu Jia's heart sank.

Is Fu Lingye asking her to beg Mu Tongrui?

But why should she beg Mu Tongrui? If not for her, she wouldn't have to humble herself and live with

fear as of now.

Fu Jia wouldn't budge, and it looked like Fu Lingye wasn't planning on backing out either.

Fu Jia looked at Fu Lingye and said, “Big brother, are you determined for me to beg her?”

“No, I don't want you to beg her. You owed her an apology, am I right?”

An apology?

Why should she apologize to Mu Tongrui?

Fu Jia's eyes were teary and bloodshot. It was obvious that she had not had a good night's rest these

few days, or had not slept at all.

Fu Jia looked as if she was about to bite through her pale lips.

She swallowed and after a long while of self-affirmation, she slowly turned her direction towards Mu

Tongrui.

“I'm sorry.”

Mu Tongrui didn't know how to accept this apology since she didn't even want to forgive Fu Jia.

There might be a possibility that the baby was not going to survive even if Fu Jia hadn't done anything,

but Fu Jia was the culprit that inflicted harm on her, so why should she forgive her just because she

apologized?

Mu Tongrui was indifferent towards her apology and kept quiet; Fu Lingye spoke instead.

“Your apology is too insincere.”

Fu Jia closed her eyes and said, “Then what do you want me to do?”

Fu Lingye said, “You have to accept the rightful punishment for your wrongdoings. Jiajia, you went

overboard this time around.”

Fu Jia laughed coldly, “I went overboard?”

She suddenly stood up, as if she had reached her limit, glared at Fu Lingye and Mu Tongrui, and said,

“Aren't you guys the ridiculous ones? Every one of you is taking her side!”

Fu Jia pointed towards Mu Tongrui fiercely and said, “If not for her, I wouldn't become this malicious

person in front of you! Why should my father give her half of his property when they are not related at

all?”

Fu Lingye and Mu Tongrui were stunned.

Mu Tongrui frowned, “Why would Uncle Zhenghui give me half of his property? I'm not aware of this.”

“Heh, you are pretending to be a victim after gaining an advantage! I heard my father told the lawyer to

put it in his will with my own ears! Weren't you eyeing for half of his property when you served him soup

so diligently every day when he was hospitalized? Mu Tongrui, I really respect your ability to play fool!”

Mu Tongrui was really confused.

She really wasn't aware that Fu Zhenghui was planning to give her half of his property.

Fu Lingye frowned and said, “Do you think Rui would care for Uncle Zhenghui's property? She is Mrs.

Fu, so all of my property belongs to her. She already has so much, would she still care about half of

Uncle Zhenghui's property?”

Fu Jia was shocked. She trembled and took a step backwards, as if she could not believe her ears.

“How could that be...”

Although Mu Tongrui is Mrs. Fu, but how could Fu Lingye willingly give her everything that he had?

Even Mu Tongrui didn't expect that Fu Lingye would say something of the likes.

After all, she never thought of taking over his possessions when she married him.

After Fu Jia left with indignation, Fu Lingye raised his arm and called Mu Tongrui over.

Mu Tongrui lifted her quilt and ran over to Fu Lingye's bed.

She had to admit, Fu Lingye's bed felt way warmer than hers.

“Lingye, it's so warm around you.”

She felt warm and assured especially in his embrace.

Mu Tongrui felt as comfortable as a cat. She narrowed her eyes and asked him seriously, “Aunt Xian

was imprisoned because of Fu Jia. Are we really going to sit back and do nothing?”

“They still don't have conclusive evidence as of now, so the police would only ask Aunt Xian to assist

on the investigation. I have already asked Xu Kun to check it out. She will be released this afternoon.”

“It looks like Fu Jia doesn't know about it.”

Or else Fu Jia wouldn't have come and begged them.

Fu Lingye said, “I need to let her have some form of punishment first if I have to let her off the hook

eventually.”

Mu Tongrui knew that blood is thicker than water. Fu Jia was Fu Lingye's only sister. Even if she did

something unforgivable, Fu Lingye couldn't just ignore the Fu family and be so self-centered.

This wouldn't sit right with Fu Lingye. Moreover, it would be a scandal for Fu family and Fu Corporation

if Fu Jia really were to be imprisoned.

“It's just that I'm really puzzled as to why Uncle Zhenghui would give me half of his property. Moreover,

Uncle Zhenghui is at his prime, why would he suddenly make a will?”

Fu Lingye's eyes darkened as he said, “I will ask Uncle Zhenghui about it when we get back.”

However, compared to this, Mu Tongrui was more interested in something else.

“What you said just now in front of Fu Jia, about how all of your possessions belong to me, is that

true?”

Or was he just saying that in front of Fu Jia purposely?

This woman was not materialistic, but she really cared what this man thought of her. Sometimes, it

would be considered an act of loyalty and dedication when a man was willing to give his wife all that he

has.
