Fu Qi sat on the chair and looked at Miao Man, who was coming over with bags of things. Her displeasure was written all over her face, but she didn’t reveal it in front of Fu Ting.

Miao Man bit her lip lightly and looked back at Fu Ting uneasily, trying to please Fu Qi.

“Grandpa, Ah Ting and I are here to visit you. I heard that you are not feeling well, so I specially prepared a gift. They are all good medicines for your body. You can drink some of them.”

As she spoke, she placed the gift that she had carefully prepared in front of Fu Qi. There was the old mountain ginseng of Bai Mountain and the caterpillar fungus that was as thick as a finger. They were all very rare supplements.

In order to please Old Master Fu, she had put in a lot of effort.

Unfortunately, her trick had no effect on Fu Qi, who had seen many kinds of people in his life.

Fu Qi looked at the tonic placed in front of him and sighed lightly, “I’m old and my body is weak. I’m afraid that I can’t afford to eat such tonic. Besides, these are all medicines. They might be harmful if consume without prescription.”

He had lived for so long anyway, and the more he lived, the clearer his mind became. He didn’t have to please others and only said what he wanted to say.

Miao Man’s face instantly fell.

“Grandpa, your words are too much.” Fu Ting reminded Fu Qi that Miao Man was going to marry into the Fu family soon, so he shouldn’t be rude to her.

Fu Qi was still the same as before. He said snappily, “She has already gotten rid of my granddaughter-in-law, how can I still welcome her with a smile? If you get Mu Ran back, I can treat her even better than my own granddaughter.”

“Grandpa!”

Fu Ting interrupted Fu Qi, knowing that he was unhappy with his divorce with Mu Ran.

“The divorce of Mu Ran and I has nothing to do with Manman. If you don’t like her, I won’t bring her here to visit you anymore.”

“I know that she has something to do with it.”

After Fu Qi finished speaking, he coughed again and politely invited the two of them out.

Miao Man’s eyes were red, and she looked like a dried eggplant. She looked listless and spoke with a deep grievance.

“Fu Ting, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have given grandpa those tonics. I’ve caused you trouble. But those were all given to me by my father. He said that they’re very good for health.”

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. She raised her head and looked at Fu Ting pitifully.

With her beautiful appearance, even if she really made a mistake, she would be forgiven very quickly.

“It’s not your fault.” Fu Ting said indifferently.

Fu Qi had a bad temper, and only Mu Ran could get along with him. The two of them had been very good friends despite their age difference.

The marriage between him and Mu Ran was, to a large extent, Fu Qi’s matchmaking.

Miao Man was still feeling lost. She hesitated and pursed her lips. “Then, can I still visit grandpa in the future? He’s not well, and I want to spend more time with him.”

The more sincere her tone was, the more heartbreaking it was.

“No need.” Fu Ting said indifferently, and his expression did not change at all. “Grandpa doesn’t like you. You’ll only annoy him if you do so.”

Miao Man nodded her head in disappointment. Her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul.

“It’s okay. There’s still chances in the future.” Miao Man said lightly, but she was secretly cursing Mu Ran in her heart.

She did not believe it. Fu Qi was just an old man. How could Mu Ran able to please him but she couldn’t?

…

In the Red Moon Villa, Mu Ran looked at the buildings in front of her that were built in the style of a western garden. She stopped for a while, but she still walked in.

This was Liang Sheng’s villa. Mu Ran had no idea why Liang Sheng asked her to his home for discussing business.

A woman in her early forties brought Mu Ran in. The interior of the villa was decorated the same as the exterior. The scenery inside was also very good. It could be seen that Liang Sheng had spent a lot of effort on it.

When they entered the house, she found that other than Liang Sheng, there were two other men around his age. They were big-bellied and had sparse hair. Mu Ran found them a little familiar. They must have had business dealings before.

“Mr. Liang has a guest?” One of them noticed Mu Ran and his eyes widened. “She’s a beautiful and cute lady. Why haven’t I seen her before?”

As he spoke, he did not forget to throw a flirtatious glance at Mu Ran. It was so disgusting that Mu Ran felt a little uncomfortable. She coughed lightly and avoided the man’s gaze. “I’m here to talk business with Mr. Liang.”

“Talk business? You’re such a beautiful young lady. Shouldn’t we talk about something else?” The two of them were Liang Sheng’s good friends of many years. Besides, everyone in Haigang City knew that Liang Sheng was a pervert. He had invited many ladies to his bed in the name of talking business..
