After the owner left, Wu Qiong was a little nervous.

However, she still kept a tight face and stared at Mu Ran without backing down.

Mu Ran didn’t care. She asked the waiter to find two clean towels for her and sat down to wipe her hair that was drenched with red wine.

Fortunately, it was only red wine. If it was sulfuric acid, she would have been in the hospital by now.

The owner came back quickly and walked to Wu Qiong. He nodded at her gently, “Madam, we have already seen the surveillance footage. Indeed, it was you who was making trouble without reason from the start till the end. Please leave our restaurant otherwise, I can only call security. Or do you want us to call the police?”

Considering Wu Qiong’s identity, the owner was still polite to her. However, he had already made his position clear.

Wu Qiong gritted her teeth in hatred. However, since she was the one who started it, she wouldn’t be able to get out if she ended up in the police station.

Although she was unwilling, she could only leave while cursing.

Although the food at the restaurant was very delicious, the three of them were not in the mood after this incident. They paid the bill and left.

The bill was bought by Wang Man. Mu Ran thought for a while and said that she was going to take the food home.

“My dear Mu Ran, when did you become so frugal?” Wang Man was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. It was as if she had seen a new world.

“Frugality is a virtue.” Mu Ran glared at her. She did not feel embarrassed, instead, she replied confidently, “It would be a waste if I didn’t bring this food back. This is enough for me to eat at least one or two meals when I go back, right? Besides, I have to win the trust of the shareholders and make preparations to deal with Miao Qiang in the future. All these require a lot of investment so my money should be spent wisely and I can’t waste any of it.”

“Got it.” Wang Man’s dragged her words. She leaned against Mu Ran’s body softly as though she didn’t have any bones. “Yes, what you said makes sense. As expected of a good wife who is diligent and thrifty.”

“Qin Wei, don’t you agree?”

Qin Wei looked at Mu Ran in a slight panic. He quickly shifted his eyes away. Just when everyone thought he wouldn’t answer this question, he nodded and replied softly.

Mu Ran was speechless. Wang Man had better not have done it on purpose.

…

Fu Ting sat at the desk in his office and processed the documents from the company.

He seemed to have thought of something and looked at the ring on his ring finger. He stared at the ring for a long time and thought of something. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. After a faint, obscure smile, he took off the ring and threw it into the trash can.

He did not like to wear anything on his hand and after his divorce with Mu Ran, this ring had lost its meaning.

“Mr. Fu.” Lin Li knocked on the door and walked into the office, pointing to the extension phone on the table. “Mr. Miao called, saying that he has something to inform you.”

“Miao Qiang?”

Miao Man’s father?

Although he had interacted with Miao Qiang a few times in the past, it was only limited to giving gifts during the holidays or attending important business events together. After meeting, they would only exchange a few words of pleasantries. If it wasn’t for Miao Man, it would have been a very ordinary meeting.

Fu Ting took a short break and pressed the answer button on the phone.

“Hello, Mr. Miao.”

“Fu Ting, you’re treating me like an outsider by being so polite. My daughter is staying at your place so she didn’t cause you any trouble, did she? Speaking of which, I feel ashamed. I have spoiled her since she was young so she has a bad temper. If there’s anything that she did wrong, please bear with her. From now on, we’ll be one big family.”

Miao Qiang was very warm and took the initiative to get close to Fu Ting.

Fu Ting’s voice was steady, he didn’t show much emotion, neither was there any intimacy. He just changed the way he addressed him. “Uncle, don’t worry, she is doing well. My mother accompanies her all day long so she won’t be lonely.”

“Really? That’s great.”

“Uncle, did you call me today just to chat?” Fu Ting changed the topic.

Miao Qiang paused. Putting aside how much Miao Man liked Fu Ting, he also admired Fu Ting’s intelligence. He was definitely a talent that could be molded in the business world.

But at the same time, he was also very afraid of Fu Ting. He was worried that Fu Ting was out of his control.

“Actually, there’s one thing. I heard that when my daughter fell down the stairs, it wasn’t an accident, but someone deliberately did it. I didn’t believe it at first, so I sent people to investigate. I didn’t expect it to be related to your ex-wife, Mu Ran. Did you know about this?”

Fu Ting pursed his lips and didn’t answer immediately..
