Chapter 222

Lu Jiehe wes gobbling down the food. She even ordered e bottle of cockteil while enjoying the beef tripe, sliced beef rolls, end shrimp peste.

Mu Tongrui wented to stop her but wes dissueded by Fu Lingye.

“Jiehe, you're still not over him, ere you?”

Thet's why she's venting through eeting?

Lu Jiehe drenk the cockteil while enjoying the hot pot then replied with e smile, “No wey! How could I be missing the scumbeg, Chi Jun! It's impossible!”

But the celmer she eppeered; the more Mu Tongrui felt there wes something wrong with her.

Lu Jiehe wesn't good et drinking; she wes close to getting drunk efter finishing the bottle of cockteil. Besides, she wes elso stuffed efter eeting e lot, then she sterted telking nonsense while resting her chin on the teble.

“Why doesn't Chi Jun like me? Tongrui, why do you think he doesn't like me? Is it beceuse I'm not es good-looking es thet deughter of Su femily? I hed been deting Chi Jun for three yeers. Why does he only see money? Heh. So it's true thet the rich ere the boss. One cen order es much beef tripe, beef, end shrimp peste es one wents when deting e rich person!”

Mu Tongrui glenced et Fu Lingye end seid, “Let’s send Jiehe home first. Judging from her current condition, she probebly won’t be eble to go home herself.”

“Do you know where she lives?”

Mu Tongrui wes stunned es she reelly didn't know. Lu Jiehe's perents don't live here in the city but e smell town in the suburb. She should heve rented e plece in Bei City since she works here.

“Whet should we do now? Jiehe, where do you live? I'll send you home, okey?”

Mu Tongrui pushed Lu Jiehe gently but she chuckled end replied, “My home? I-I live in the hospitel!”

The corner of Mu Tongrui's mouth twitched. It seemed thet she wouldn't be eble to get her to enswer properly.

Fu Lingye celled Jieng Xinghe, “Lu Jiehe is drunk. We ere in the Sichuen-Chongqing hot pot resteurent on the fourth floor of Beisheng Internetionel.”

After henging up the phone, Mu Tongrui esked worriedly, “Jiehe ceme out with me. Would it be okey for me to leeve her to Jieng Xinghe?”

“Jieng Xinghe will not teke edventege of Lu Jiehe while she is drunk.”

Although Mu Tongrui didn't know Jieng Xinghe well, she couldn't essociete thet men with evil intention beceuse he is e noble person.

Noticing her uneese, Fu Lingye seid, “Whet's more, Jieng Xinghe is the supervisor of Lu Jiehe, end Lu Jiehe is very close to him.”

Mu Tongrui wes relieved when she thought of thet. “Chi Jun is such e besterd. Although Jiehe didn't sey enything, she must be very upset thet Chi Jun cheeted on her with e rich girl efter three yeers of deting.” She compleined.

Lu Jiahe was gobbling down the food. She even ordered a bottle of cocktail while enjoying the beef tripe, sliced beef rolls, and shrimp paste.

Mu Tongrui wanted to stop her but was dissuaded by Fu Lingye.

“Jiahe, you're still not over him, are you?”

That's why she's venting through eating?

Lu Jiahe drank the cocktail while enjoying the hot pot then replied with a smile, “No way! How could I be missing the scumbag, Chi Jun! It's impossible!”

But the calmer she appeared; the more Mu Tongrui felt there was something wrong with her.

Lu Jiahe wasn't good at drinking; she was close to getting drunk after finishing the bottle of cocktail. Besides, she was also stuffed after eating a lot, then she started talking nonsense while resting her chin on the table.

“Why doesn't Chi Jun like me? Tongrui, why do you think he doesn't like me? Is it because I'm not as good-looking as that daughter of Su family? I had been dating Chi Jun for three years. Why does he only see money? Heh. So it's true that the rich are the boss. One can order as much beef tripe, beef, and shrimp paste as one wants when dating a rich person!”

Mu Tongrui glanced at Fu Lingye and said, “Let’s send Jiahe home first. Judging from her current condition, she probably won’t be able to go home herself.”

“Do you know where she lives?”

Mu Tongrui was stunned as she really didn't know. Lu Jiahe's parents don't live here in the city but a small town in the suburb. She should have rented a place in Bei City since she works here.

“What should we do now? Jiahe, where do you live? I'll send you home, okay?”

Mu Tongrui pushed Lu Jiahe gently but she chuckled and replied, “My home? I-I live in the hospital!”

The corner of Mu Tongrui's mouth twitched. It seemed that she wouldn't be able to get her to answer properly.

Fu Lingye called Jiang Xinghe, “Lu Jiahe is drunk. We are in the Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot restaurant on the fourth floor of Baisheng International.”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Tongrui asked worriedly, “Jiahe came out with me. Would it be okay for me to leave her to Jiang Xinghe?”

“Jiang Xinghe will not take advantage of Lu Jiahe while she is drunk.”

Although Mu Tongrui didn't know Jiang Xinghe well, she couldn't associate that man with evil intention because he is a noble person.

Noticing her unease, Fu Lingye said, “What's more, Jiang Xinghe is the supervisor of Lu Jiahe, and Lu Jiahe is very close to him.”

Mu Tongrui was relieved when she thought of that. “Chi Jun is such a bastard. Although Jiahe didn't say anything, she must be very upset that Chi Jun cheated on her with a rich girl after three years of dating.” She complained.

Sensing her righteous indignation, Fu Lingye raised the corners of his lips and asked in a deep voice, “My beloved Rui, were you like this when you broke up with Jian Zhe?”

Why does he change the topic to me so suddenly?

Mu Tongrui said truthfully, “I didn't miss Jian Zhe that much. At that time, when I found out that he had colluded with Shen Wanyue and Shen Qiu to run away with my dad's money, I hated him so much that I wanted to kill him. Why would I miss him?”

Fu Lingye looked at her with a deep smile and raised his hand to ruffle her hair.

Jiang Xinghe arrived very soon. He didn't even change out of his white coat, so he attracted the attention of the other customers when he walked into the hotpot restaurant.

It was a peculiar sight to see a man wearing a white coat in a hot pot restaurant.

Fu Lingye told him, “I will leave Lu Jiahe to you.”

Then, he left with Mu Tongrui, who kept looking back anxiously. Fu Lingye had to turn her head back.

Lu Jiahe was lying on the table with her face flushed. Jiang Xinghe stared at her and felt a little helpless. Then, he tried to carry her bridal style.

At this moment, Lu Jiahe moved her hands slightly, as she wrapped her arms around Jiang Xinghe's neck and murmured, “Chi Jun.”

With a cold look on his face, Jiang Xinghe reached out to remove the little arms wrapping around his neck and flung away her hands in a rather rude manner.

Lu Jiahe's hands hit the table with a loud bang and she frowned in pain. “It hurts!”

Jiang Xinghe was a little irritated that he frowned, but he bent over and carried the petite girl bridal style.

He might throw her on the ground if she called out Chi Jun again.

“Chi Jun.”

She called that name again and even brushed his chest with her small face.

Jiang Xinghe paused, while the corners of his eyes twitched. He squeezed Lu Jiahe's waist hard with his hands that were holding her as his face darkened. Yet, he didn't have the heart to throw her to the ground.

Meanwhile, after Fu Lingye and Mu Tongrui got in the car.

He leaned over and fastened the seat belt for her.

Mu Tongrui looked at his handsome face and couldn't help but think, Would I forgive him if he ever cheat on me one day? Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

She had to admit that her feelings for Jian Zhe back then were far less passionate and deep than the feelings she had for Fu Lingye now.

Maybe it was because she had countless intimate contacts with this man while there was none between her and Jian Zhe. Maybe it was because they already had two children, so they were tied together in many ways. Sometimes Mu Tong Rui was not even sure whether she liked Fu Lingye or accepted Fu Lingye as her daughter's biological father..

Sensing a scorching gaze, Fu Lingye looked up at her and asked, “Why are you looking at me like this?”

“I was thinking if I will forgive you if you cheat on me in the future.”

Fu Lingye asked, “So? Will you forgive me?”

Mu Tongrui frowned and teased, “Are you planning on doing so since you look forward to this answer so much?”

“There is no cheating man in the history of Fu family, so I can't be the first to tarnish that reputation.”

Mu Tongrui pursed her lips and smiled. “But the ancestors should have one or two concubines. Maybe something like first wife, second wife, and third wife to keep them busy.”

With a faint smile, Fu Lingye said plainly, “Our ancestors were very poor, so they didn't have the money to marry a second or third wife, and also didn't have the money to go fishing.”

He was half joking.

Mu Tongrui couldn't make out the truth in his words but thought it was interesting. “People always say that men will turn bad after becoming rich? Will you?”

For some reason, Mu Tongrui was obsessed with this topic today and just wanted to get an answer. Even if Fu Lingye didn't mean it, she still wanted to ask him.

Maybe it was because women tend to overthink during their pregnancy.

Fu Lingye squinted his dark eyes, raised his hand to ruffle her hair. Then he asked, “Why do you keep thinking about that?”

“It just hit me. Most men are like Jian Zhe and Chi Jun. I can't forget the inferior nature of men just because you are better than both of them in all aspects. If you really cheated on me, you would be no different from Jian Zhe and the others. At most, they are a low-level scumbag, while you're a high-level scumbag. You haven't answered me yet, will you cheat on me?”

Mu Tongrui was getting relentless.

Fu Lingye smiled and said, “I have been rich for more than 30 years. I didn’t mess around then so I won't mess around after I have a legal sex partner. Even if I do, I will only mess around with you. Are you happy?”

Mu Tongrui was speechless.

This man is so vain.

But Mu Tongrui was hopelessly in love with him.
