Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Jia was dressed in a black leather jacket. She danced with the men around her under the dim disco lights in the bar.

These men tried to take advantage of her from time to time but were always stopped by Fu Jia. She would push their shoulders away with her index finger. Her actions didn't anger the men as they are attracted to her charisma.

Men usually liked it when women played hard to get. Women who fall for them too easily would be considered boring.

Fu Jia felt tired after three rounds on the dance floor. Her anger had also dissipated. She returned to the bar and ordered a glass of mojito from the bartender.

After taking two sips of her drink, Xiao Ya walked over with the latest black handbag from Chanel and sat beside her.

Xiao Ya knows Fu Jia since she was Fu Lingye's ex-girlfriend. There were on good terms when Xiao Ya dated Fu Lingye. Therefore, they kept in touch even after Xiao Ya broke up with Fu Lingye.

“Xiao, what would you like to drink?”

“Whisky please,” Xiao Ya told the bartender.

“What's the matter, princess? In a bad mood? You called me over to have a heart-to-heart?” Xiao Ya asked.

Fu Jia clenched her fists at the thought of Mu Tongrui. She bit her lip and said, “Xiao, do you know about my brother's wife, Mu Tongrui?”

Xiao Ya paused. From the looks of it, Fu Jia and Mu Tongrui...were having a feud?

“Of course I do. Why? Did she...offend you?”

“All I did was give her a gentle shove and now her fetus could hardly survive. My brother blamed it on me and even my father is taking her side! How could they?”

Fu Jia became increasingly agitated as she spoke. “So, you called me here because of Mu Tongrui?” Xiao Ya asked, secretly delighted with the news.

“Xiao, I hate her. Though my dad was very strict, I was still dearest to him before she appeared...But now, he is saying he wants to give her half of his property. Xiao, what should I do?”

Jia cried as she threw herself into Xiao Ya's embrace. Xiao Ya patted her head and frowned, asking, “Are you sure your
