Fu Ting held Miao Man in his arms and although he did not let go, he did not make any further movements either.
Miao Man had a strong perfume on her, which made the tip of his nose uncomfortable. Fu Ting thought of the faint fragrance on Mu Ran's body in the past. However, it was different from the artificially made poor-quality perfumes, it was more like a faint floral fragrance, which was exuded from the inside out.
Mu Ran rarely wore makeup, but despite so, she still had a unique charm.
Thinking of Mu Ran, the veins on Fu Ting's forehead trembled. He let go of Miao Man expressionlessly and stood up.
Miao Man also sat up and looked at Fu Ting in surprise.
She was already doing so much to seduce him so how could Fu Ting resist not doing anything?
"You're not feeling well so you should rest early. I'll come to see you another day." Fu Ting left without looking back and did not forget to close the door.
The moment he closed the door, Miao Man's expression was quite a show.
She punched the bed hard. Her eyes were ruthless, unlike her usual gentle and harmless look.
She took out her phone and made a call.
"Mom, Fu Ting and Mu Ran are divorced, but that woman is still harassing Fu Ting. She was the one who pushed me down the stairs. You have to help me. She had caused me to fall into a coma for six years, she can't take Fu Ting away from me anymore."
Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but Miao Man guessed that Fu Ting's unhappy departure just now had something to do with Mu Ran.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Hearing Miao Man's words, Jia Zhu was even angrier. She quickly comforted Miao Man but she would not let anyone who bullied her daughter have an easy time.
She also did not forget to remind Miao Man, "You have to be obedient in the Fu family. We will also put pressure on Fu Ting at the right time and make him marry you as soon as possible. Once our two families have become one, we will be able to do whatever we want in Haigang City."
Jia Zhu's words reassured Miao Man.
...
Half a month later, Mu Ran brought Wang Man to the most prosperous shopping mall in Haigang City to pick out evening gowns for grand occasions.
Wang Man was not too interested in these beautiful clothes as she looked around in boredom. While the staff was picking out suitable gowns for them to try on, she pulled Mu Ran to sit down on the sofa.
"Mu Ran, I really didn't expect you to be able to tame those old fogies in the company. And are you hosting the dinner party to meet new clients? How had I never realized before that you're so good at business?"
Mu Ran relied on the shares given by her grandfather to make her appearance at Sheng Hong again. Sheng Hong was a company founded by her father and the shareholders were all her father's old friends who had worked together for decades. Although the company suffered a huge blow when her father died and its capital was severely reduced, it was still a listed company with a scale of 100 billion, so it still held an important position in Haigang City.
If she wanted to help her father regain innocence, she had to have absolute authority over Sheng Hong.
These days, Mu Ran was either swift and decisive, or she used both kindness and power, or she used the weak to overcome the strong. Wang Man was dazzled by what she saw, and she could not help but think that Mu Ran had suddenly become smarter.
"I grew up watching my father negotiate so I've seen how things are even if I hadn't experienced it myself. Besides, I've heard about these shareholders from my father before so I know what their personalities are and what their weaknesses are. Naturally, I know what to say when discussing business with them."
Mu Ran shook her head lightly as she spoke. Actually, her father had discovered her talent in business a long time ago. He even wanted to teach her step by step so that she could take over his company in the future.
Unfortunately, at that time, her attention was on Fu Ting all the time. Although she didn't resist learning, she didn't pay much attention to it.
If she had learned more things and been more alert, would she have noticed when her father was framed?
Mu Ran regretted it deeply, but it was too late.
"But I heard that not only did Qin Wei study medicine abroad, he also dabbled in economics and even got a doctorate degree." When studying medicine abroad, he had to choose a social science as a supplement.
Mu Ran had heard Qin Wei mention it before, but she didn't expect him to be so proficient. A doctorate degree sounded impossible to achieve overnight, and it required a lot of effort and time.
Wang Man patted Mu Ran's shoulder and said earnestly, "So, if you have anything you don't understand in the future, you can ask Qin Wei. You can even let him give you advice."
Mu Ran did not say anything. She just stared blankly in a certain direction.
Wang Man followed Mu Ran's gaze. It was Miao Man. She was wearing a light blue evening gown which has a plunging neckline and she was standing three to five meters away from them.
"How unlucky!" Wang Man cursed under her breath.
