Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 56

With his walking cane in his hand and an air of authority and gloom, he replied, “Fu Lingye, it is not 4.5 million but is USD 45 million. You are indeed very self-sacrificial when it comes to this woman!”

Pretending to be a mediator, Xiang Nanqian said soothingly, “Dad, do not be angry. Tong Rui did not mix up the contract on purpose.”

Not only did this comment not appease him, he even got madder and stood up, leaning on the cane and glared at Mu Tongrui, “This kind of basic mistake must be done on purpose!”

Old Master Fu sounded suspicious. Perhaps he is suspecting that she is a spy sent by a competitor?

Xiang Nanqian had devised her strategy well. Old Master Fu was not fond of her already, now it was even harder for him to accept her.

With a humph, Fu Zhengyuan turned to leave the living room so as to get them out of his hair.

Xiang Nanqian still pretended to console her, “Tong Rui, Dad was only in a moment of anger. The mistake this time round was too serious. After a few days when he is not so angry, then you go and apologize to him.”

Mu Tongrui glared at her coldly, “You should know better than anyone whose fault this was. The culprit that caused Fu Corporation to lose USD 45 million was not me.”

She did not bother to act along with Xiang Nanqian, and loathed to be in the same room as Xiang Nanqian and Fu Lingye, the man who had sided Xiang Nanqian. She headed upstairs immediately.

There were only Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian left in the room. Xiang Nanqian were testing the waters when she asked gently, “Lingye, is Tong Rui angry with me?”

Fu Lingye's face was stone-cold when he answered her coolly, “Isn't it normal for her to be pissed with you?”

Xiang Nanqian shivered slightly. Fu Lingye had followed Mu Tongrui upstairs. She could tell that he was angry with her despite his calm tone.

He is actually angry with her over Mu Tongrui?

...

When Fu Lingye opened the door, he saw her sitting by the window, sulking.

He went to join her. She replied in a biting tone, “I have resigned already and hoped that Mr. Fu will allow me to resign. After all I have caused the company to lose 3 billion. Who knows if I will cause a 5 or even 10 billion loss next time?”

Who knows whether Xiang Nanqian would sabotage her again next time? What if the sum gets bigger, and she cannot repay even after selling herself?

Fu Lingye could not help but be amused at the sight of her angry face. He smiled, “Who said I wanted you to repay me 3 billion?”
