Seeing Mu Tongrui standing there with absolutely no intention to kowtow to her, Shen Wan Yue grew

impatient. Her objective was only to embarrass her. She walked to her arrogantly in her high heels and

bent down to whisper in Mu Tongrui's ears with her red-lipped mouth tauntingly, “Sister, if you really

don't wish to kowtow to me, you can beg me now. I may just forgive you if I am in a good mood.”

Mu Tongrui clenched her fists but put on a cold smile. She said in cold anger, “Shen Wan Yue, I am

down-and-out now, but I am after all the official young miss from the Mu family! On the other hand, if it

was not because of my dad allowing you and your mother to enter my family, I am afraid that you and

your mother would still be roaming outside on the streets! Your father was only a drunkard and my

father helped to clear your father's debts from the loan sharks! How did you repay him? You and your

mother absconded with my dad's money, causing his death and claimed the Mu family's villa as your

own!”

She purposely said louder so that all the guests could hear her.

Shen Wan Yue had been concealing her background within her social circle. To the others, Shen Wan

Yue's father was a scientist in Antarctica and her mother was a renowned pianist. Shen Wan Yue

herself was a classic example of a young miss born in a prominent family and due to the work nature of

her father which resulted in a lack of time for his family, her parents had divorced. Her mother and Mu

Guang Qing had met in a piano recital in a coincidence, and that was how she ended up marrying into

the Mu Family.

At this moment, low murmurs were going around among the guests.

“So, Shen Wan Yue's real father was a drunkard! Still claim that he is some scientist in Antarctica, thus

is always not around!”

“I knew it! No wonder we have never met her father before!”

“If her father was a drunkard, I bet her mother was no pianist either! Maybe she was a hostess!”

The low murmurs were filled with sarcasm.

Shen Wan Yue turned pale which shone through her heavily made-up face, and said angrily, “Mu

Tongrui, you are uttering rubbish! Don't you accuse me after you lose!”

“You would know best if I am uttering rubbish or if you are the one lying.”

Looking around the looks of disdain from her guests, she pulled Mu Tongrui's arms and pushed her into

the swimming pool!

She had not expected Shen Wan Yue to suddenly push her into the pool. It was bone-piercingly cold in

the water, and her gown was thoroughly drenched with her make-up all smudged. She was a terrible

sight!

Shen Wan Yue was like a bear being poked. She ordered angrily, “Pull her up! Mu Tongrui! You lost!

Whether you like it or not, you have to kowtow 3 times!”

Two burly bodyguards heaved Mu Tongrui up from the swimming pool.

Mu Tongrui struggled with all her might to no avail, and her arms were hurting terribly.

“Let me go! You let me go!”

Jian Zhe frowned at the ugly scene before him, and was about to step forward to dissuade Shen Wan

Yue when a husky, authoritative male voice cut in.

“Mu Tongrui.”

She glared at the person. Turned out it was Fu Lingye.

A tall, broad-shouldered figure stepped out of the shadows, capturing everyone's attention with his

compelling presence.

Fu Lingye was just like a God's gift. Everyone gasped when they saw him.

It was really Fu Lingye.

Fu Lingye had seldom joined such small events. With big strides, he moved forward in the direction of

Mu Tongrui.

Fu Lingye, the president of Fu Corporation... actually knew the down-and-out Mu Tongrui?

In fear of Fu Lingye, the two burly bodyguards who were grabbing Mu Tongrui by her arms, let go of her

immediately. Mu Tongrui, who were still in the swimming pool, widened her eyes in shock at the sight of

him.

“Fu Lingye...”

The man looked at the woman before him who was staring at him with her mouth agape. In front of

everyone, he bent over and extended out that well-defined, long arm to her.

Everyone could only hear Fu Lingye's mumbling in a doting manner, “Sorry, I am late.”

Mu Tongrui was stunned.

Seeing her dazed state, he put on a charming smile, “Is it fun being in the water? Looks like I have to

carry you up then.”

She was so touched at Fu Lingye's gallant act at the time when she most needed help, that tears

started to roll down her face. Luckily her face was already wet so one could not tell that she was crying.

Her cold, small hands held onto Fu Lingye's warm, big hands. At the moment when their hands met,

she felt a sense of security.

Fu Lingye pulled up her from the pool, and wrapped his suit around her. The suit was so big that its

hems reached her thighs, enveloping her wet and slender figure.

With an arm over her shoulder, he smiled at everyone, “I heard that my wife and Ms. Shen had a bet.

Whoever lose will have to kowtow to each other 3 times. Is this bet still valid now?”

Wife...?

Mu Tongrui gazed up at his gorgeous, chiseled face. He has actually acknowledged me as his wife in

public!

Shen Wan Yue panicked, and at a loss for words. Am I really going to kowtow to Mu Tongrui in front of

everyone?

I cannot do it.

Jian Zhe came over in an attempt to ease the tensions in the air, “Mr. Fu, Wan Yue was only joking with

Tongrui. This pair of sisters always joke around, please do not take it seriously...”

“Oh?” Fu Lingye lifted a brow, “Then is pushing my wife down into the water a joke too?”

Jian Zhe was startled. Though Fu Lingye was still maintaining his smile on his gorgeous face, the

steely glint in his eyes was enough to make one cower.

He lowered his head and asked Mu Tongrui gently, “My wife, were you joking with her?”

Before Mu Tongrui replied, Fu Lingye suddenly held her hand from behind and gave Shen Wan Yue a

tight slap!

This slap was so hard that Shen Wan Yue felt dizzy.

Everyone on the spot gasped. Even Mu Tongrui was stunned.

He leaned and whispered gently into her ears, “Mrs. Fu, revenge should be like this. Do you

understand now?”

Mu Tongrui nodded her head, dazed.

Fu Lingye had the situation under his control.

Shen Wan Yue was utterly humiliated. Cupping her sore cheek with one hand and another fist clenched

in anger, she said through clenched teeth, “You, you are too much!”

Fu Lingye replied nonchalantly in a taunting voice, “I was only joking with Ms. Shen earlier.”

An eye for an eye.

Jian Zhe hugged Shen Wan Yue and in view of Fu Lingye's standing, he could only say with a frown,

“Mr. Fu, sorry for today. We shall leave first. Hope you. and your wife can enjoy the rest of the day.”

Just when Jian Zhe was about to escape with Shen Wan Yue, Fu Lingye drawled, “Wait. Did I say she

could go?”

Jian Zhe further furrowed his brows, “What... what more do you want?”

That slap on Wan Yue's face, is that not enough?
