On weekdays, Fu Ruhui would go out to the company after breakfast. He had already been absent from work for a whole day, including half a day yesterday and half a day this morning.

　　”Would you like to go to the company with me?” Fu Ruhui asked her as he adjusted his tie. Chu Rong was lying on the sofa, “I’m sorry, but I’m not interested.”

　　She collapsed on the sofa, and Fu Ruhui found it funny. He couldn’t help but want to tease her more. “I’m leaving now. Madam, shouldn’t you give me a goodbye kiss?”

　　Chu Rong raised her eyelids to look at him and said lazily: “You are going out to work, not on a business trip.” You will be back in the afternoon, what is there to act?

　　”Will you be lonely in the living room alone? Where are Nian Nian and Xiao Yu? Let them accompany you.” Fu Ruhui looked at her for a long while, then walked over and kissed her on the cheek. “I’m going out now. I may not be able to come back for lunch at noon. You don’t have to wait for me to come back.”

　　Chu Rong was caught off guard and kissed again. She turned over with her back to Fu Ruhui and said in a muffled voice, “I know.”

　　”See you in the afternoon.” Fu Ruhui smiled lightly, turned and left.

　　As soon as Fu Ruhui left, Chu Rong was the only one left in the living room.

　　Sister Yun went out to buy groceries, the maid Zhuo Ya was cleaning, and Chu Rong was the only one doing nothing. She searched online for who Bulang Jun was, but couldn’t find this person on a certain search software, and all the information that popped up were advertisements for brownie cakes.

　　It seems that Brown^[1]English translation of Bulang Jun is not even a stage name, but just a nickname?

　　Chu Rong threw away her phone and couldn’t help but look under the piano in the living room.

　　Bathed in the golden sunshine, the piano exudes a brilliant glow, as if tempting people to play it.

　　Chu Rong lay on the sofa, tilted her head and looked at it for a long time. Finally, she reluctantly got up and moved over. She stopped next to the piano and walked around it several times. It was as if she was looking at a new friend, with a curious and kind look.

　　She wanted to give it a try, but there was no one around and everyone was busy with their own things. Even if she made some hoarse or mocking music, no one would hear it.

　　Chu Rong tapped her fingers on the smooth piano cover a few times, then sat down on the stool like a thief, lifted the piano cover, and placed her fingertips between the black and white keys. The piano seemed to vibrate, and with a humming sound, crisp syllables popped out from the heavy instrument.

　　A warm feeling suddenly surged in Chu Rong’s heart, which gave her the courage to keep playing. Her fingers danced on the keys without any rules, and the incoherent notes stumbled into an awkward tap dance. It couldn’t be said to be bad, but the tune was not there and the melody was not in tune.

　　But Chu Rong had a lot of fun playing. She felt that the sound she played was pretty good and not so bad that other people couldn’t stand it – she herself could listen to it.

　　Not only did Chu Rong listen attentively, she also felt that she was intoxicated. Could this be the legendary gifted talent? Chu Rong thought happily in her heart, it turns out that I am still a genius.

　　She became more and more absorbed in the playing, and her finger movements became more and more skillful. Just when she was about to close her eyes and let herself go, the doorbell rang hurriedly.

　　The sound of the piano stopped abruptly. Chu Rong took her hands off the keys. The joy in her mind snapped, and she was pulled back to reality. Chu Rong stood up from the stool abruptly and took several steps back, staying away from the piano.

　　Feeling as if she was sleepwalking just now, Chu Rong looked down at her hands hanging by her side. Her fingers suddenly felt a sharp pain as she stared at them.

　　Chu Rong frowned, closed her eyes and endured it. She didn’t understand why this could happen!

　　Is it an illusion?

　　Chu Rong tried to curl up his five fingers, but found that his fingertips were stiff, and she had no strength to use them, like chicken claws.

　　The doorbell rang more and more urgently. Zhuo Ya, who was cleaning the room on the second floor, heard it and hurried down. When she saw Chu Rong standing in the living room, she was stunned for a moment, “Madam, are you okay?”

　　Chu Rong smiled at her and said, “It’s okay.”

　　Zhuoya reminded worriedly: “Your hands are shaking.”

　　”Ah, really?” Chu Rong looked and saw that she was really shaking, which was strange. She put her hands behind her back and smiled, “It’s okay, it’s a bit of Parkinson’s. Go see who’s here.”

“…Okay.” Zhuoya had no choice but to go open the door first.

　　”Who are you looking for?” Chu Rong heard Zhuo Ya ask.

　　”Excuse me, is Mr. Fu Ruhui here?”

　　Zhuo Ya replied: “Sir is not here.”

　　”Then, is Miss Chu here?”

　　When Chu Rong was mentioned, she couldn’t help but look at who was coming.

　　Zhuo Ya glanced at Chu Rong and said, “Madam, someone is looking for you.”

　　Chu Rong asked her to invite someone in.

　　As soon as someone came in, Chu Rong’s defense was immediately broken: “Hao Hanyun?” Why is it her again?

　　”Miss Chu.” It was still Hao Hanyun with long flowing hair and a long dress, but this time the gentle smile that usually hung on her face was gone, replaced by a solemn and tired look.

　　Chu Rong didn’t know the purpose of Hao Hanyun’s visit. She just sighed secretly that Hao Hanyun really missed Fu Ruhui perfectly every time. Was this a coincidence or destiny?

　　”Long time no see, Miss Hao.” Chu Rong said with a smile, “What a surprise to see you here too.”

　　Hao Hanyun was stunned, her eyes darkened, “Miss Chu, you are joking. I know that my sudden visit today may be a bit presumptuous, but I definitely don’t mean what Miss Chu imagined.”

　　Now Chu Rong was stunned. What did she imagine? What did she imagine? She was surprised to see Hao Hanyun at the Fu family, even before the divorce. Doesn’t this make people sigh at the magic of the plot?

　　Could the heroine please stop imagining too much?

　　Chu Rong silently tutted her tongue, feeling a little annoyed. She was in a bad mood and had no intention of playing Tai Chi with Hao Hanyun. Anyway, they were not familiar with each other. Just because she was the heroine, did she have to be nice to her? This was Fu Ruhui’s territory, which meant that it was also her territory for the time being. She was on her own territory and did not intend to suffer this humiliation.

　　As for whether the plot would favor Hao Hanyun, let it be. Since the plot could go off track at any time, Chu Rong would not wait. She immediately smiled gently and said politely, “Miss Hao’s visit was indeed presumptuous. You almost broke our doorbell, didn’t you? I was ready to call the police when I heard how hard you banged on the door. Fortunately, I trusted our community security guards, otherwise what a big mistake would have happened now?”

　　Chu Rong had black hair and fair skin, and a pair of watery almond eyes that were filled with smiles – even though it was not a genuine smile, just the fake smile was pleasing to the eye. She didn’t know why, but she felt that the smile was worth a thousand gold.

　　Hao Hanyun was not charmed by Chu Rong’s smile. Although her face was flushed, her expression was very sharp and she looked very angry. Chu Rong said these few words with a sarcastic tone, and did not respond to Hao Hanyun’s false greetings at all. She used a little force to achieve a great result, but also hit the nail on the head. Hao Hanyun knew that Chu Rong was not good at talking. She clenched her hands in her pockets into fists and endured Chu Rong’s ridicule.

　　”I’m sorry Miss Chu, I pressed the doorbell for too long just now and no one answered. I thought no one was home so I rang a little louder. This villa is so big, and my voice will inevitably be ignored if it’s too quiet.” Hao Hanyun pulled the corner of her mouth, her words were full of apology, but her expression was terrifyingly sinister. “I didn’t expect Miss Chu to be in the living room, so I disturbed you. Sorry.”

　　Chu Rong frowned, and discovered the little tricks in Hao Hanyun’s words. She had to admit that Hao Hanyun was not as smart as she thought, and what she said was not as flawless and cautious as described in the original book. Chu Rong thought that there was a gap in IQ between herself and Hao Hanyun. It seemed that the IQ of the “female protagonist” was not much higher than that of her, the “vicious female supporting role”.

　　”Miss Hao, please stop saying things in a veiled way.” Chu Rong tilted her head and looked at Hao Hanyun carefully. She was pretty, but she didn’t look that gentle, let alone smart. Fu Ruhui didn’t look stupid. Would he really be moved by Hao Hanyun’s good qualities and love her to death like in the original book?

　　”I invited you in because we all know each other and I couldn’t bear to let a little girl like you lose face.” Chu Rong estimated that Hao Hanyun should be in her early twenties, several years younger than herself who was almost thirty years old. She was very comfortable in the body of a ‘middle-aged person’.

　　The middle-aged Chu Rong stood up from the sofa and said to Hao Hanyun earnestly like an elder: “The tea talk you just said, well, I’m not saying it, anyone can tell the difference, right? Do I have to say it out loud? If you still have a recorder in your pocket, I suggest you edit the clips of your speech before sending them out. Today’s netizens are not fools. Do you think they can be fooled by these two unsophisticated words of yours? Even if you really follow your logic, I was playing my own game on the first floor, and you were banging on the door like a robber. Why should I open the door for you? By the way, you didn’t record the part where you rang the doorbell when you were recording, right?”

　　The expression on Hao Hanyun’s face, with her hands in her pockets, collapsed in the midst of Chu Rong’s words. “How do you know?”

　　Chu Rong couldn’t believe that Hao Hanyun could ask such a stupid question. She was speechless for a moment, and then she couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “Have you ever seen anyone wearing a floral dress with pockets for no reason? You should at least wear some reasonable pants. It looks weird to put your hands in your skirt pockets on a hot day, okay?”

　　She didn’t even want to discuss her outdated tricks with Hao Hanyun. Her acting skills were so heartbreaking and tear-inducing that they were not even half as good as Fu Ruhui’s.

　　Hao Hanyun clenched the recorder in her hand, her face burning with pain. She didn’t expect that she would be defeated by a skirt. “Since you know, I don’t need to be polite to you.”

　　Chu Rong: “Excuse me, are you being polite?”

　　Hao Hanyun took her hand out of her pocket and stopped disguising her voice. She said coldly, “Fu Ruhui wants to destroy my and my brother’s company. You must stop him.”

　　Chu Rong’s face was full of question marks. “Where did you get the illusion that I could make Fu Ruhui stop? Where did you get the courage to use such a tone when asking for help?” Did Hao Hanyun not care about her image at all? The two of them didn’t get along well before. Hao Hanyun didn’t like to see her. Chu Rong knew this in her heart, but Hao Hanyun’s character wouldn’t collapse so quickly now, right? She almost suspected that Hao Hanyun had been replaced by someone else.

“Don’t be in a hurry to reject me. I know there are some things you don’t want Fu Ruhui to see. Do you need me to remind you?” Hao Hanyun stopped being polite. She looked at Chu Rong’s face with undisguised disgust, as if she wanted to swallow her in one bite.

　　Chu Rong suddenly understood the difference between Hao Hanyun’s “politeness” and “impoliteness”. When she was polite, she was no longer interested in talking to him, but when she was impolite, it was like looking at an enemy.

　　Could it be that it was not a coincidence that the original owner was pulled down by Hao Hanyun? Could there be some unknown hatred between them?

　　Hao Hanyun looked too immature, and Chu Rong even wanted to laugh at her childish way of threatening.

　　Chu Rong said sincerely, “Don’t take on a job without the right tools. Miss Hao, you’ve really got the wrong person. It’s still early, you should go back quickly. It’s hard to get a taxi in this area. If it’s late, you’ll have to walk down the mountain by yourself.”

　　Hao Hanyun sneered, “Does Fu Ruhui know that you abused his eldest brother’s son? You know how much Fu Ruhui values ​​his eldest brother’s son. I don’t know why Fu Ruhui returned home early, and I don’t know what kind of magic potion you used to make Fu Ruhui obey you, but I am sure that Fu Ruhui must not know about the things you did, otherwise, you would not be living happily until now!”

　　Hao Hanyun’s words contained a huge amount of information. Chu Rong was stunned. Before she could process the information in Hao Hanyun’s words, Hao Hanyun took a bunch of photos at her. “If these photos were sent to Fu Ruhui, do you know what you will face?”

　　A yellow leather bag was thrown onto the coffee table by Hao Hanyun. Chu Rong cooperated and picked it up to have a look. It turned out to be full of her photos. To be exact, they were photos of Chu Rong, Fu Nian and Fu Yu.

　　The photos were all about what happened before Chu Rong came here. Because the original owner had hardly ever hurt Fu Nian and Fu Yu personally, the photos were all of the original owner looking at Fu Nian and Fu Yu with a ferocious face. Fu Nian and Fu Yu looked like dirty Cinderella, with dust all over their bodies and timid faces when being scolded.

　　I have to say, Chu Rong suspected that the person who took these photos was really good at finding angles. She looked different in every photo, and her expressions were even more exaggerated than those in the comic strip. Chu Rong’s face was not so stunning as to shame the moon and the flowers, but she was at least a beautiful woman. It was really hard for the photographer to find such a tricky angle and take so many ugly photos of her.

　　Hao Hanyun looked at Chu Rong’s increasingly heavy expression with a smug look in her eyes. Chu Rong was silent for too long, and Hao Hanyun couldn’t hold on any longer before she asked, “So, do you know what to do?”

　　Chu Rong calmly put the photo back into the yellow leather bag and looked at Hao Hanyun leisurely, “Ms. Hao, I have two questions for you to answer.”

　　Chu Rong’s reaction was not what Hao Hanyun expected. She frowned and asked, “What do you want to ask?”

　　”What do you mean by ‘you don’t know why Fu Ruhui returned home early’? Only he and his assistant know his schedule. Could it be that the company has commercial spies from your Yunze Media? If so, you Yunze will be sued by Yuan Tang.” Chu Rong raised an eyebrow imitating Fu Ruhui’s behavior. “Also, I am Fu Ruhui’s legal wife. My husband listens to me. What do you have any opinion on this? Don’t you know that Fu Ruhui loves me to death? I just beckoned him and he came over. What kind of love potion do I need to give him?”

　　Chu Rong is beautiful. She deliberately puts on a disdainful face as if looking down on everyone, and she really has some of the demeanor of a demon queen in ancient times.

　　”Fu Ruhui loves you to death?” Hao Hanyun’s eyes were blazing with fire, and she laughed in anger, “Don’t flatter yourself!”

　　Seeing Hao Hanyun’s defense being broken so easily, Chu Rong couldn’t help laughing in her heart. What’s wrong with this heroine? She is so weak. She is so anxious at this very early stage. Chu Rong’s guess was almost confirmed by Hao Hanyun’s reaction. She pretended to be surprised and said, “I am her wife. Do I need to flatter myself?”

　　”You are just a vicious supporting actress. Fu Ruhui must be extremely unlucky to marry you!” Hao Hanyun looked at Chu Rong viciously. “I am his leading actress. I will marry Fu Ruhui this autumn. How long do you think you can still be so proud?”

　　Chu Rong curled her lips. It was exactly as she thought. Hao Hanyun was not a native of this world. She was also an “outsider” who knew the script like her.
