Chapter 10: “Can the Madam Do It?”

As soon as Xia Wanwan saw Mu Ruo, she hid behind Lu Beichen like a timid rabbit.

Haili was annoyed by Xia Wanwan’s imitation of Mu Ruo.

Not only did Xia Wanwan make her eyes, nose, and mouth resemble Mu Ruo’s, but she also wore the same clothes and jewelry as Mu Ruo.

Doesn’t this person have her own sense of style?

Haili rolled up her sleeves. “Ruo Ruo, that bitch is imitating you again. I’m going to hit her!”

Mu Ruo stopped Haili.

Although Haili played the role of a bully many times in the original text, repeatedly acting as Mu Ruo’s evil accomplice in tormenting Xia Wanwan, seeing the cute and gentle Haili wanting to hit someone in real life was quite surprising to Mu Ruo.

“Forget it,” Mu Ruo said, glancing at Xia Wanwan. “Don’t bother with her.”

In the original story, after Mu Ruo tragically died, Xia Wanwan became pregnant.

Lu Beichen, fearing that the malicious Du Haili might seek revenge against the pregnant Xia Wanwan, took preemptive action and ordered someone to kill Du Haili in a car accident.

The text describes how it rained heavily that night with heavy traffic, and Du Haili’s death went unnoticed until the next day, making it impossible to identify her. Her parents were abroad, and upon returning, they couldn’t even find the driver who caused the accident, leaving her death unjust and tragic.

Those who were close to Mu Ruo either went to prison or met a grim fate. There were no exceptions; all suffered similar outcomes.

Mu Ruo wasn’t sure if the plot would follow the original storyline.

If it did, and all the fortune was with Xia Wanwan and Lu Beichen, her own fate and that of her friends would undoubtedly be tragic.

All she could do was stay away from this crazy couple.

Clearly state that she was no longer interested in Lu Beichen.

As for Xia Wanwan’s obsession with imitating her—let her imitate.

Mu Ruo wasn’t someone who wore the same outfit or jewelry for a lifetime.

If she could, she’d imitate everything.

Seeing Xia Wanwan so fearful of Mu Ruo, Lu Beichen couldn’t help but pull Xia Wanwan behind him.

He looked at Xia Wanwan, then at Mu Ruo.

For some reason, when the two were wearing different clothes, or when Xia Wanwan only had one or two items resembling Mu Ruo’s, Lu Beichen felt that Xia Wanwan and Mu Ruo looked very similar.

However, when they were dressed identically, Lu Beichen felt they didn’t look as much alike.

First, there was the skin tone.

Mu Ruo had a cold white complexion, looking as naturally radiant as a light bulb. She wore a beige suit that highlighted her flawless skin.

Xia Wanwan’s skin, while also pale, was a couple of shades darker than Mu Ruo’s, and the beige made her appear less youthful, giving her a slightly older look.

Then there was the bone structure, which is innate and hard to fake.

Mu Ruo had a small head and face, a long neck, and a beautifully proportioned shoulder and head ratio, like a perfect sculpture. She suited the slender straight-cut suit, making her look like a runway model.

Xia Wanwan, being more on the cute side with a slightly larger head and face, made her look bigger in the shoulder area of the clothes, highlighting her large head.

The comparison was like a cheap imitation doll next to a meticulously crafted porcelain doll.

Lu Beichen felt a bit irritated but maintained a proud demeanor. “Wanwan, I think you look better in this outfit.”

Mu Ruo: “Yes, yes, YMaster Lu’s eyes are very discerning.”

For some reason, Lu Beichen felt that Mu Ruo’s words were mocking him.

Haili: “You look better. She’s just a copycat!”

Lu Beichen coldly replied, “Du Haili, don’t be so despicable. If you weren’t a woman, I would have beaten you already!”

Mu Ruo thought, “It seems Master Lu only dares to make threats to women.”

Lu Beichen’s face darkened with anger.

Mu Ruo drove home, her mind preoccupied with thoughts about the Fu family’s dinner party. She wasn’t sure how to handle it.

Thinking about Fu Jianzhi, a completely inscrutable big shot, made her head ache a little.

For some reason, Mu Ruo felt that dealing with the Fu family’s big shot was more difficult than dealing with Lu Beichen.

Perhaps Fu Jianzhi was harder to predict and understand.

Just as she arrived at the parking lot, her phone suddenly rang.

An unfamiliar number appeared on the screen, and a strange voice came through.

“Hello, is this Sister-in-law?” a man’s voice said. “Fu Ge is in the hotel and needs your help.”

Mu Ruo: “?”

Half an hour later, Mu Ruo found herself back at the original hotel.

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the room the man had mentioned.

After a moment, the door opened.

Fu Jianzhi was wearing only a bathrobe, with droplets of water running down his dark hair. His face was inexplicably gloomy, and his handsome features were marked by an inexplicable coldness. “Mu Ruo, what are you doing here?”

Mu Ruo: “Didn’t you ask your buddy to call me here?”

Fu Jianzhi’s face briefly showed a terrifying expression, but then he returned to his usual distant and gentle demeanor. “I see.”

With a click, the hotel room door was locked from the inside.

Fu Jianzhi’s phone rang, and the voice of the man who had called Mu Ruo came through. “Fu Ge, that’s the latest drug from H City. I’m worried there might be residual effects after the injection, so I specifically asked Sister-in-law to come over. Remember to let her in. If you think the women outside are dirty, Sister-in-law should be fine. Damn, I’ll deal with that bitch who drugged you later…”

Mu Ruo heard everything clearly.

She turned to leave.

In the next moment, Fu Jianzhi pressed her wrist against the door, his voice low and dangerous. “Since Madam is here, do you want to leave?”

Mu Ruo: “…”

She really didn’t want to be turned into a human antidote for no reason.

Fu Jianzhi looked her over carefully.

It was still the same face.

But the subtle expressions on it were completely different from the old Mu Ruo.

The current Mu Ruo seemed more… lively.

Seeing some wariness and curiosity on a face that had once been pretentiously delicate, Fu Jianzhi found it oddly amusing.

“I have an important meeting tomorrow morning and must ensure a good night’s sleep tonight,” Fu Jianzhi said. “You’ll keep watch over me all night. If anything happens, call this number; he’s a doctor.”

Mu Ruo: “All night without sleep? But I’m human too. I’ll get tired.”

“If you can’t manage, the twenty million for next month is gone,” Fu Jianzhi said. “Can Madam handle it?”

Mu Ruo: “Just staying up all night? What’s the big deal? Mr. Benefactor, you can sleep peacefully. I’ll keep watch over you all night.”

Fu Jianzhi smiled warmly.

He was already handsome, and his smile made him even more charming.

“I certainly don’t have a daughter as foolish as you.”
