After dinner, Fu Shiqin first escorted Mrs. Fu upstairs to her car.

Fu Hanzheng went into the study after returning a work call and saw the untouched gift on the table, looking somewhat dejected.

After hanging up the phone, I immediately opened the gift and took out the ruby ​​necklace inside.

Gu Weiwei was washing dishes in the kitchen when a necklace suddenly fell from above her head. Before she knew it, the man standing behind her had put it around her neck.

The girl's fair, jade-like skin made the ruby ​​appear exceptionally bright and dazzling.

"You look beautiful in it, consider it... a thank you gift for tonight's dinner."

Gu Weiwei looked down and was about to reach out to take it away when Fu Hanzheng grabbed her hand.

"I don't want to."

Having lived in the Gu family and seen many luxurious items, I could naturally tell the value of this gemstone at a glance.

"This is a very rare gemstone from Country B. People there say that if a man meets the girl he loves and presents her with this ruby, she will stay with him forever..."

Fu Hanzheng's deep black eyes were overflowing with undisguised love, and his deep, sexy voice was like an alluring, bewitching melody.

"..." Gu Weiwei blinked.

This...this is a confession, isn't it?

Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure out how to return the necklace, Fu Hanzheng lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"We're going back now, you should get some rest."

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Before Gu Weiwei could even take off the necklace, Fu Hanzheng had already called Fu Shiqin and left.

Gu Weiwei took off the necklace. The person had already left. She looked down at the ruby ​​necklace in her hand, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes.

The mountainous region of Country B, which is rich in this ruby, was once the territory of a lord who fell in love with a noblewoman who was about to marry into the royal family. He used this ruby ​​to woo her.

After many twists and turns, the lord finally married the woman he loved, and they stayed together until they grew old.

Therefore, the wealthy and noble families of Country B regarded this ruby ​​as a token of love.

Several years ago, Gu Siting also gave her a ruby ​​necklace.

And this ruby, which symbolizes love, could not necessarily make them love each other and stay together.

After her death, she was reborn and found herself living on thin ice alongside Fu Hanzheng, the Gu family's archenemy.

He transplanted Ling Yan's heart into her, and rumors about the two spread like wildfire online.

...

The Li family.

Li Xiner, who rarely had a day off, went home. Zhou Meiqin's younger brother, Zhou Hong, and his wife, Wang Fen, came to visit. The family prepared a table full of dishes, waiting for Zhou Meiqin and Li Jiacheng to return so they could celebrate Li Xiner's upcoming role as the female lead in a movie, as well as the major collaboration between Longsheng and Tiansheng Group.

When Zhou Meiqin returned home after a few days of "business trip," Wang Fen warmly greeted her and brought her a freshly stewed sweet soup.

"Big sister, why did you go on a business trip in such a hurry? Everyone is waiting for you to come back so we can celebrate together."

"What's there to celebrate?" Zhou Meiqin scoffed.

"By using that brat Mu Weiwei, we managed to secure such important film resources for Xin'er and get the company to sign such a big contract. Of course, we should celebrate!" Wang Fen said with a smile.

Zhou Hong was also at Longsheng Company and was in charge of this project, so she was naturally the happiest when this contract came to fruition.

"That brat was still at school before, and she almost embarrassed our Lina in front of so many people. Once the teachers and students find out what she's up to now, let's see if she still has the face to stay at school..."

"Enough!" Zhou Meiqin smashed the bowl of sweet soup on the ground and glared coldly at Wang Fen. "Neither of you are allowed to tell anyone about this. I'll tear her mouth shut."

"What's the harm in telling her? Are you worried she'll turn on us after being favored by Chairman Wang? Wang Weidong is known for his fickle nature; he'll get tired of her soon enough..."

"I told you not to tell anyone, or you'd better go back to your hometown," Zhou Meiqin said through gritted teeth.

That night, Wang Weidong didn't just ruin Mu Weiwei, he ruined herself.

She was left with injuries and dared not come back or tell anyone. After hiding outside for so many days, they actually wanted to celebrate when she came back. Were they celebrating that she had been violated by that old lecher Wang Weidong?
