Murong Xue woke up slowly, not knowing how long she had slept. She suddenly found that Shangguan Mo was lying beside her.

As Murong Xue saw the dark circles under his eyes, she remained motionless and wanted to let him sleep a little longer. She quietly looked at his face and suddenly realized that she had never observed his face.

Now she felt that he was quite good-looking and seemed to be mild and cute when he was silent. On second thought, she was shocked that she actually thought this man was cute. She must be confused. Shaking her head, Murong Xue was trying to lightly remove his hand on her waist.

After the two dressed, they went downstairs to have a meal, and then Shangguan Mo left because he got something to do. Ye Feng was also called to deal with some problems. The venue was safe. No one dared to challenge the International Stone Gambling Assembly or cause trouble here, so Shangguan Mo could rest assured that he could leave Murong Xue here alone. Murong Xue was bored and intended to see others cut the stones.

Before entering the stone-cutting table, she heard bursts of exclamations.

"How lucky he is. He actually unwrapped 3 pieces of first-class jade in one day. I'm so envious. He really has good luck..."

"Yes, I haven't even unwrapped a piece of jade today..."

Murong Xue came closer and found that it was the first-class purple jade. Its color was pure with high transparency. It was the first-class purple jade of glassy species. As soon as Murong Xue saw the purple jade, she thought of the raw materials she saw today. She looked up and saw that Shangguan Lin was standing next to the master who cut the stone. It seemed that there were still a lot of raw materials to unwrap.

As Murong Xue took a look, she found that there was jade inside all the raw materials. Sure enough, he was the same as her, but why two or three of them were only green on the surface? Then she recalled that she would buy some raw materials that had no jades to cover up, which seemed to make sense.

In fact, Murong Xue misunderstood. Shangguan Lin was not as powerful as her, for he couldn't see through the raw materials. Although he could confirm if there was any jade inside, he couldn't find out how much.

Suddenly, a woman said to her, "Young lady, do you know how to cut the stone? You're just watching for fun, aren't you? You are blocking me. Get out of the way!"

Murong Xue turned her head and saw that the woman was actually Fang Shihua's biological mother!

She saw her wearing a black gown with her hair worn in a bun. She had delicate facial features and fair skin. Her beautiful face looked a bit mean, which destroyed her overall temperament. She seemed in her early thirties.

Murong Xue was in a daze. She used to call this woman mother for several years. In her last life, she did a lot to please this woman named Wu Meili to satisfy Fang Shihua. She thought it was ridiculous as she thought of it. While she was still in the Murong Family in the first place, this woman pretended to be so charitable and gentle that she would even send her regards to Murong Xue when the weather changed.

She bought this woman numerous expensive jewelry, bags, and so on. After she left the Murong Family, Wu Meili began to expose her true colors. Not only did she constantly give Murong Xue a hard time, but sometimes she also told Fang Shihua that Murong Xue was not filial. When Murong Xue thought of her last life, she truly regretted it and thought she was so stupid that she was even blinded by these two people.

Murong Xue smiled. She didn't have to put up with this in this life. "Old lady, this is not a place where a mistress like you should come!"

Hearing Murong Xue call her mistress, Wu Meili panicked and then forced herself to calm down. "How dare you call me an old lady? Are you blind? Young as you are, you're not well-bred at all. Do you come here to find a sugar daddy?"

"Ma'am, you are over 30 years old, but I am only 19 years old. Why shouldn't I call you an old lady? Besides, I really admire you. How could a mistress make such a fuss? You're really bold," Murong Xue sneered.

Wu Meili's face was flushed with anger. The whispers beside her embarrassed her even more. She hated others for calling her mistress the most. "What makes you say that I am a mistress? I have never met you. Even if I have a conflict with you, you don't have to slander me so viciously."

After hearing Wu Meili's words, the onlookers began to change their target of the attack and whisper towards Murong Xue.

Murong Xue ignored others' remarks and the meaningful look of Shangguan Lin. "Ma'am, although I don't know you, I know your son. Your son studies in A high school in A province. Of course, I know his identity. Your son's name is Fang Shihua. Don't tell me you don't even recognize your son."

People turned to whisper about Wu Meili again.

Wu Meili's face turning pale, she argued fiercely, "You're talking nonsense! You're a mistress. I'm not!"

It was obvious that she looked guilty, which made people despise her when they were looking at her.

If Murong Xue didn't take this opportunity to attack her badly, how could she endure all the things she had suffered in her last life? "Your name is Wu Meili. You used to be a third-rate star. When you were young, you used your pretty face to hook up with Fang Zizheng, the eldest son of the Fang family at that time. Then you were pregnant. The Fang Family supported you outside of the family for the sake of the child..."

At this moment, Wu Meili's face was ashen. Now she was screwed. Before she came here, Fang Zizheng had repeatedly warned her not to cause trouble and not to disgrace him. She would definitely be beaten by Fang Zizheng when she went back home. Although Fang Zizheng seemed gentle and well-bred in front of people, he would come to her villa, beat her violently, and then torture her hard if he met any trouble. But even so, she still couldn't give up her wealthy life.

"What a surprise. Fang Zizheng looked like a gentleman, but he also couldn't help getting a mistress..."

"Certainly! I heard that there was something wrong with his marriage, too. Miss Zhao seemed to be set up at that time. When she woke up, she found Fang Zizheng lying beside her. Somehow, this matter was exposed. The Zhao Family couldn't afford to be disgraced, so they claimed to the outside world that the two were truly in love with each other."

As people heard such a revelation, there was a burst of exclamation. They didn't expect that the truth behind this love story turned out to be like this.

Murong Xue felt even more furious. Like father, like son. Fang Shihua used to play this trick to force her to obey. Fortunately, it was better to have sex with Yang Feng than with Fang Shihua. She sighed to herself.

Looking up, she found that Wu Meili wanted to sneak back and leave the crowd. How could Murong Xue allow this to happen? Therefore, she shouted, "Ma'am, where are you going?"

Wu Meili, who knew that she failed to leave, flew into a rage. She strode forward and wanted to slap Murong Xue. It was all this b*tch's fault. She actually exposed her real identity. However, her hand was grabbed by someone before it fell on Murong Xue's face.

"Ma'am, you shouldn't hit others even if you are angry from embarrassment. How did this kind of woman come in?" Shangguan Lin saw that she actually wanted to hit his prey. How could he let her do that?

"What kind of taste did Fang Zizheng have in women? He actually found such a woman."

"He really brought disgrace to the Fang Family."

"There's no need to ask. He must be bewitched."

Wu Meili saw that everyone was talking about her. She was afraid that Fang Zizheng would hear when he came over. She would be screwed by then. Thus, she stopped arguing and immediately covered her face and left.

Murong Xue sneered. Just as she wanted to thank Shangguan Lin, she actually saw Fang Shihua.

What was going on? Didn't Shangguan Mo teach him a lesson? Why was he here?

And he was right here. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even come forward to help his mother out. This man was really cold-blooded!

When he saw Murong Xue looking at him, he did not withdraw his gaze and stared at her directly without any resentment though Murong Xue just treated his mother badly. Instead, he looked as if he had been bound to win her heart.

Murong Xue was startled and turned away! Then she met Shangguan Lin's meaningful gaze again. Murong Xue was baffled. What was going on?

But she still needed to express her gratitude. "Thank you, Mr. Shangguan!"

"There's no need to thank me. Call me Lin."

Murong Xue was embarrassed. How could she call him that? That was too intimate. "Shangguan... Lin... Well..."

"Ha-ha!" His smile was so bright. He didn't smile sincerely for so long.

Murong Xue pouted. Did he just laugh at her?

As Shangguan Lin saw the displeased look on her delicate face, he beamed, his beautiful purple eyes gleaming with amusement. "Let's go!"

Murong Xue was confused. "Where to?"

What a silly girl. She seemed to be brainless. But she was so lovely. He liked her and was a little tempted by her. "Let's go to have dinner. Don't you want to thank me? You can treat me to dinner!"
