Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Mu Tongrui sat on the stairs, hugging herself, and was silent for a long time.

In her ears, Fu Jia's voice echoed repeatedly.

“Don't you know? Lingye has already made an appointment with a doctor to do the operation for you...”

Her face ashen, Mu Tongrui sat frozen in the spot for a long time.

This child...Was she unable to keep it after all?

Closing her eyes gently, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Mu Tongrui went to the hospital alone.

In the doctor’s office, the doctor sighed while looking at the examination report, “Ms. Mu, you've already

lost this child. It’s better to abort it earlier as it will do you less harm. You're still young. There are more

opportunities for you to have children in the future.”

When Mu Tongrui exited the hospital, her mood plummeted.

Not wanting to go home, she walked aimlessly on the road.

Unwittingly, she entered a dilapidated chapel. Facing the cross, she closed her eyes and prayed

solemnly.

“I'm sorry, my child. If only your mother was more careful, you would have been able to come into the

world. You must go to another world happily. Next time, when you're reborn in my womb, I promise to

take good care of you.”

Not far away from the church, a black van could be spotted.

“Ms. Fu, Mu Tongrui is currently in a deserted dilapidated church. Do you want to take action now?”

“Don't give yourself away!”

Mu Tongrui stayed in the chapel for what seemed like an eternity. Upon exiting the chapel, her mouth

was suddenly covered tightly by a piece of cloth. She struggled but to no avail, and she fainted within

seconds.

“Drag her into the car!”

In a daze, Mu Tongrui could not tell where she was. When she woke up, she found herself blindfolded

and her limbs tightly bound. She could not move.

“Who are you! What do you want!”

“We don't want anything, just that we were hired to make you disappear completely.”

Mu Tongrui trembled, “Who hired you?”

“We can't say.”

Mu Tongrui resisted, “Let me go! If my husband finds out that I am missing, he will look for me

everywhere! I will give you twice the amount of money the person who hired you promised if you let me

go!”

The two people guffawed obnoxiously, “Do you think we are fools? If we let you go, not only will you not

give us double the reward, you will call the police to arrest us!”

Mu Tongrui's heart was in her throat.

She was confused.

Who wants her dead?

Fu Jia paced restlessly around her bedroom with her mobile phone in her hand.

Zhao Xian knocked on the door to enter. That startled her, causing the phone to slip out of her hand

and fall onto the ground.

Bringing in a plate of fruits, she looked at her daughter in surprise, “Jia, why is your face so pale? Are

you sick? Do you feel unwell?”

Putting down the plate, she walked over to touch Fu Jia's forehead. Fu Jia shook her head, and

reassured, “Mum, I'm fine...”

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Zhao Xian bent over to pick it up from the ground.

Nervous, Fu Jia stood frozen, and she could not move, as if she was nailed into the ground.

Zhao Xian glanced at the caller ID, and it was a number she did not recognize. She frowned, and

asked her daughter, “Jia, who is calling?”

“No, no one!”

Grabbing the phone from her mother's hands, she declined the call.

Zhao Xian stared at her, feeling that she was acting weirdly.

Not long after, her phone rang again.

Zhao Xian furrowed her brows and probed, “Whose call is it, why don't you answer it?”

All of a sudden, Fu Jia fell and knelt in front of Zhao Xian's legs, “Mom, save me...help me...”

Startled, Zhao Xian bent over to pull her up, “What's wrong with you? You silly girl, if you need

assistance, Mom will definitely help you through. Get up quickly, do you hear me?”

Fu Jia cried helplessly, “Mom, if you don't promise me, I won't get up...”

“What is it?”

“Mom, I, I sent someone to kidnap Mu Tongrui...”

“What did you say?!” Zhao Xian's eyes trembled.

Fu Jia swallowed and said, “Mom, mom, listen to me, the last time I went to see Dad in the hospital, I

heard Dad say that he would give half of the assets under his name to Mu Tongrui... Mom, she doesn’t

have the surname Fu, nor is she Dad’s daughter! Why take half of the assets! Mom, I just feel that it is

unfair for you and me... That’s why I...”

Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Zhao Xian sneered, “Your father wants to give half of his fortune to

Mu Tongrui?”

“Yes... I heard it with my own ears!”

Fu Jia knelt in front of Zhao Xian, grabbed her hand, and shook it vigorously, “Mom, what do you think I

should do now? If Dad and Lingye know that I kidnapped Mu Tongrui, will they send me to jail? Mom, I

don't want to go to jail! Mom... I really don't want to go to jail!”

Zhao Xian's eyes were cold. Squeezing her daughter's hand, she said calmly, “Jia, get up first. We will

discuss and plan our next move.”

“Mom, what should I do...”

“Where is Mu Tongrui now?”

“I don't know. I just asked the two kidnappers to send her as far away as possible. It's better to never let

her return to Bei City.”

“Then, are the two people who kidnapped Mu Tongrui reliable?”

Fu Jia shook her head, “Mom, I don't know... Mom, I really don't want to go to jail... Please save me...”

Zhao Xian patted her daughter on the back and said calmly, “Jia, don't worry. You're my only daughter. I

won't let you go to jail. Since your dad is so ruthless, don't blame us for being heartless too.”

“Mom, what do you plan to do?”

“Let's carry it through without caring about the consequences and let Mu Tongrui die silently, without a

trace.”

Fu Jia's pupils shrank severely in fear, her face ashen.

“Mom, will Dad and Lingye find out?”

“Stay calm. After this, Mom will send you back to England, don't you ever come back again.”

Fu Lingye received a call from Fu Zhenghui as soon as he ended a meeting.

“Yes, Uncle Zhenghui.”

“Lingye, I took Fu Jia to the door to apologize to Tongrui just now, but when I came to the door, I

realized that she never knew…about the child's affairs, I think she was in a bad mood. I am worried

about her, so I called you.”

Fu Lingye's dark eyes sank and after hanging up, he immediately called Mu Tongrui.

The phone rang for a long time without any answer.

Xu Kun gathered the materials and went into the office, “Boss, there will be a video conference held

later. This is the information.”

“Delay the meeting. I have to go home. Something may have happened to Rui.”

Fu Lingye kept calling Mu Tongrui while driving, but he was unable to get through.

When the car reached Repulse Bay Villa, Fu Lingye hurriedly entered. He searched for her everywhere

but to no avail.

Instead, he found her phone, which was left sitting on the coffee table.
