Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 732: Chapter 706: Spending a Fortune for a Beauty

Xiao Qian left with Eldest Brother, Mother Ma saw Xiao Qian leave with a rich-looking man, and whispered to Father Ma.

“I told you she doesn’t look like a decent woman, right? What’s her relationship with that man? A young, beautiful woman with a house and a car – if it’s not relying on men to get ahead, it’s being born with a skilled tongue.”

Liu Mei, who was far away, didn’t hear very clearly but caught a few keywords, and felt like they were talking about her sister-in-law.

She wanted to confront Mother Ma directly and asked if she was talking about Xiao Qian. She would definitely defend Xiao Qian, but Fu Gui didn’t want her to get close to that family and held her back.

“What do you think of this one?” Fu Gui handed the brochure to Liu Mei, and the salesperson immediately followed up with an introduction.

“This two-bedroom unit has excellent natural light, especially suitable for newlyweds like you. Both bedrooms face the sun, which would be perfect when you have a baby.”

...

Liu Mei’s face turned red, “We’re not—”

“How does the shared area calculated?” Fu Gui interrupted Liu Mei, directly asking the salesperson.

“Brother, our apartments are two elevators and two households, so the shared space is slightly more. But today if you pay the deposit, we’re offering bonus floor-to-ceiling windows, which is a great deal. Also, our community has great greenery. I see you’re wearing wrist guards – you must be into sports. We have a gym that’s perfect for you.”

Fu Gui was quite satisfied with the sales pitch.

“Can I pay the deposit with a card?”

“Of course! Today we have a special promotion for those who pay the deposit. In addition to the floor-to-ceiling windows, you’ll also receive a lottery ticket. Everyone is guaranteed to win a prize, and the grand prize is a luxury seven-day trip to the Maldives, staying in a presidential suite hotel, which will definitely add sweetness to your married life!”

“What do you think?” Fu Gui asked Liu Mei.

Liu Mei quite liked it, but she didn’t plan to buy a house today.

She had been hesitating about whether to marry her boyfriend or not. Now with all these issues coming up, she had decided to find an opportunity for a peaceful breakup and return the money for the house to her father, not wanting to spend her parents’ money.

“I like it, but I don’t plan to buy it.” Liu Mei told the truth.

“If you like it, just buy it. I think the location here is good.”

“Our family’s affairs don’t need you to interfere. Liu Mei, come with me.” Ma Lu heard Fu Gui’s words and was unhappy.

Usually gentle, Fu Gui didn’t let Ma Lu pull Liu Mei away, but instead grabbed her other arm.

“Why leave when we’re just looking?”

“She won’t buy this kind of house.” Ma Lu glanced at it; the two-bedroom apartment wasn’t in his consideration. He planned to get a three-bedroom one and bring his parents over.

“Your word doesn’t count.”

“If my word doesn’t count, then whose does, yours?” Ma Lu looked at Fu Gui with contempt, while Fu Gui stared back defiantly.

“Whether my word counts or not is not important, as long as Liu Mei likes it. Have you considered her feelings?”

“What I like, Liu Mei will like too, right, Liu Mei?” Ma Lu asked Liu Mei confidently, but she just looked at him quietly.

Ma Lu, not getting a response, felt something was wrong. His gaze went back and forth between Liu Mei and Fu Gui, full of suspicion.

“She has her opinions. You have no right to make decisions for her.” Fu Gui had been holding back his anger at this guy for a while now, making his words more confrontational.

“This is our family affair. Liu Mei, come with me. Let’s go see the house my parents were looking at.”

“Do you always listen to your family? Are you getting married or are your parents?” Liu Mei shook off Ma Lu’s hand.

Disappointed enough to break up, do you have to wait until you’re desperate to leave?

“After all, the elders are older, and we should respect their opinions a bit. You wouldn’t be so ignorant, would you?” Ma Lu had called Liu Mei ten times in the past two years, always finding her an agreeable woman. Today’s behavior seemed off – could it be because of this short little man wearing glasses?

There were too many people around at the moment, and Liu Mei didn’t want to make things too clear in front of everyone. So, she turned to Fu Gui and gave him an apologetic smile.

“I’m sorry, Brother Fu Gui. I want to talk to him alone.””Fine.” Fu Gui released his hand.

Ma Lu looked at Fu Gui with a smug expression, as if a shorty like him could compete!

There were a lot of people looking at houses, and at that moment, a woman pushing a baby carriage came by. She didn’t see Liu Mei and accidentally bumped the carriage against Liu Mei’s leg. Liu Mei, who was wearing high heels, lost her balance and fell to the side. Both Ma Lu and Fu Gui reached out to help, but neither of them caught her in time, and Liu Mei ended up kneeling on the ground.

“Ah! I’m so sorry! I’m sorry!” The woman with the baby carriage apologized repeatedly. Liu Mei shook her head, “It’s okay.”

Her knee was scraped, her stockings torn, and it seemed like her foot was twisted. It hurt a bit when she tried to stand up.

“Come sit over there.” Fu Gui helped her up, seeing the blood seeping through her stockings.

“No need, I will go talk business first.”

“I told you not to wear high heels, but you never listen. Now you know it hurts when you fall.” Ma Lu coldly said.

Fu Gui glared at him, “Is it useful to say this after she’s fallen? Hindsight!”

“Who do you think you are?” Ma Lu stared back, refusing to show weakness.

Feeling that the two men were about to start arguing, Liu Mei tried to mediate.

“Can you both stop for my sake?”

Fu Gui stopped talking, but Ma Lu persisted in staring at Fu Gui, “When you have time, manage yourself better, and don’t get too close to other people’s girlfriends!”

Fu Gui looked at Liu Mei and said nothing.

He didn’t want to argue with someone like Ma Lu, out of respect for Liu Mei.

With the gaze of a victor, Ma Lu walked away, and Fu Gui stared at their retreating figures, his eyes filled with deep emotions.

Other people’s girlfriends, huh…

But does such a man really deserve such a good girlfriend?

“Sir, do you still want to book this house?” The sales clerk, unsure about the situation between the three, politely asked from the side.

“Book it.”

“Could you give him a discount, Boss Yu?”

Fu Gui looked to the side and saw that Xiao Qian and Big Brother Yu had returned at some point, standing together.

“Come on, Fu Gui, I’ll go with you, and use my name.” Eldest Brother had just gone into the office with Xiao Qian to discuss matters when they saw the scene on the surveillance camera. Eldest Brother fully supported Fu Gui’s behavior—even though he couldn’t hear any sound, daring to confront Ma Lu was commendable.

“No need, I can afford one house.”

At this moment, Fu Gui carried the aura of a domineering CEO.

“You don’t work in this area, so why buy a house here, just to win a bet?” Xiao Qian asked.

“I’ll buy it for its potential increase in value and leave it vacant.” Fu Gui politely declined Eldest Brother’s offer of a discount and went to pay directly.

“This kid is too straight-laced because of his official position. Otherwise, if he took private jobs, he could mix quite well.” Xiao Qian gave a genuine evaluation of Fu Gui as she looked at his retreating figure.

She said this for Eldest Brother to hear.

Eldest Brother chuckled, “He’s quite a man.”

It was uncertain whether Fu Gui’s impulsive house-buying behavior was to win a bet against Ma Lu or to impress a beauty, but today’s actions overturned Eldest Brother’s impression of him.

Alright, this gossip was juicy enough to report back to Eldest Sister-in-law. Eldest Brother could already imagine how happy she would be upon hearing this dramatic story.

“Capable men rarely take their anger out on women. Although our Fu Gui isn’t a perfect man, he’s flawless when it comes to treating family members and women.”
