“Xiao Fu, Manman is my only daughter. I also believe that you love her as much as we love her. But it hurts my feeling if you were hiding something from me.” Miao Qiang said sincerely. Just like the scene at the negotiation table before, although his tone was gentle, he was not to be questioned.

He had been the top of the business world for many years, and he wouldn’t be fooled by Fu Ting.

“Fu Ting, are you still listening?”

Fu Ting frowned, his fingers stopped on the document and trembling slightly, “Uncle, I also heard some rumors. But this matter is of great importance, and I will investigate it seriously. If Mu Ran have something to do with it, I will definitely not tolerate it and give you an explanation.”

Miao Qiang smiled faintly. It seemed that he had underestimated Fu Ting. Fu Ting didn’t want to hand over Mu Ran.

“Alright, I will wait for you.”

He paused and said earnestly, “You are very important to Manman. Even though she has been in a coma for six years, the person she wants to see the most when she awakes is you. I also hope that you can value your relationship with Manman. If you have to choose between Manman and your ex-wife, I hope that you won’t disappoint me.”

Fu Ting lowered his eyes and responded softly.

Miao Qiang smiled again and changed the topic, talking about business cooperation with Fu Ting, “I have a piece of land in the west of the city, and I haven’t thought about what to build. I don’t know if you have any good suggestions. In fact, I think we can build a large shopping mall, and we can manage it together.”

“I’ll listen to Uncle’s arrangements.”

Fu Ting hung up the phone.

He rubbed his slightly aching head, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at Lin Li who was waiting at the side. “Although the surveillance camera did not capture Miao Man falling down the stairs, there will always be some traces left behind. I’ll leave it to you.”

Lin Li nodded and left.

He could not help but mutter in his heart. In his impression, Mu Ran was soft and as gentle as water. She did not even have the guts to kill a fish, so how could she possibly push Miao Man down the stairs?

…

In the evening, Fu Ting returned to the villa. Miao Man and Wu Qiong were sitting on the sofa and talking happily. From time to time, waves of laughter could be heard, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Wu Qiong held Miao Man’s hand. She liked it no matter how she looked at it.

“Fu Ting, you’re back.” Miao Man walked quickly to Fu Ting and hung up his coat. Then, she strode towards the kitchen, “You haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll go to the kitchen to help Mrs. Zhang to cook two more dishes.”

“You just recovered. You should not move around and rest more.” Fu Ting held onto Miao Man and shook his head gently.

“That’s right, that’s right. Mrs. Zhang can handle it alone. You should rest well. I’ll tell you a few more interesting stories about Fu Ting.” Wu Qiong went forward and pulled Miao Man back to the sofa.

“Aunt…” Miao Man smiled helplessly.

“What aunt? You’re the future daughter-in-law of the Fu family. You should change the way you address me, okay?” Wu Qiong’s face was stern, and his eyes were full of smiles.

Miao Man’s face flushed red. She raised her head and looked carefully at Fu Ting. Her face was as red as an apple. “I still not use to it yet. I’ll change it after I marry Fu Ting.”

“Hahaha, okay.” Wu Qiong laughed, thinking that Miao Man was shy.

Fu Ting stood where he was. It had been a long time since he had seen such a good atmosphere at home.

In the past, whenever Fu Ting came back, Wu Qiong would ask Mu Ran to receive him at the door. Even when Fu Ting came home in the middle of the night, Wu Qiong would wake Mu Ran up. She would scold Mu Ran for being lazy and let her serve him.

Moreover, Wu Qiong would order Mu Ran to help Mrs. Zhang in the kitchen, even though Mrs. Zhang could handle the work very well by herself. However, his mother enjoyed driving Mu Ran around, forcing her to do work in the kitchen. Even when Mu Ran was sick and had a cold, his mother would still order her around.

The harmony scene of mother-in-law chatting with daughter-in-law just now had never happened before.

Wu Qiong noticed Fu Ting’s gaze and immediately reacted. “Ting, it’s getting late. I’ll go upstairs to sleep. You and Manman should have a good chat together.”

After Wu Qiong left, only Miao Man and Fu Ting were left in the hall.

Miao Man looked at Fu Ting awkwardly and sighed with a heavy heart, “Fu Ting, my dad called me today. He asked me who’s the person that pushed me down the stairs. I told him that I fell by myself, but he didn’t believe me. He even suspected Mu Ran now.”

She paused, her watery eyes filled with pity, “But I’ve already forgiven Mu Ran. It’s been so long, and I’m fine now. There’s no need to dwell on the past. We have to move on..”
