Her phone was gone. However, Mu Lan did not panic.

  That was because a phone wasn’t worth much. She could just buy a new one if she had really lost it.

  She could get a new SIM card later.

  Then, she realized something was wrong.

  She had searched through her bag for a long time earlier. Not only did she not find her phone, but she also did not see her bank card either.

  Could it be that the thief had stolen both the phone and the bank card?

  But, one cannot get the money without the passcode either.

  Were thieves nowadays stupid?

  Mu Lan looked at the time on the living room clock. It was almost six o’clock, the bank was already closed.

  It was impossible to report the loss of her bank card now.

  All she could do now was to go and get a replacement SIM card.

  Having been dealt a double blow, Mu Lan dragged her tired body out of the door once more.

  –


  –


  Mu Lan went to a shop, got a new SIM card and a new phone.

  After getting home, she sat on the sofa and downloaded and installed all the apps she needed.

  Just then, the maid walked over and saw that Mu Lan looked upset. She asked carefully, “Madam, do you want to wait for Miss to come back for dinner, or……”


  Mu Lan stared at the phone and said without raising her head, “Serve the dishes now. Are you trying to starve me to death?”


  Mu Lan’s voice sounded a little impatient. The maid did not dare to say anything more and turned around to get someone to serve the dishes.

  Right at that moment, a message suddenly popped up.

  When she saw the notification, she tapped it with her finger.

  When Mu Lan saw the bank transfer message, she was stunned.

  When did she transfer money?

  She immediately logged into the bank app and saw that there was less than 100 yuan in her account balance.

  Mu Lan’s face turned pale. Her eyes were empty and lifeless. She was scared silly and her hand went limp. Her phone slipped from her palm and fell to the ground. WThe screen instantly shattered into pieces with a loud crack.

  “Her money was gone.”


  She did not have money to pay the compensation without that money in her bank.

  What was she to do?

  –


  –


  At the gates of Bright Garden.

  Qin Shu picked up her bag and got out of the car. She looked back at Fu Tingyan whose expression on his handsome face was still very cold.

  “Would you like to stay for dinner?”


  Fu Tingyan did kind of want to. However, when he thought of how he had to call Qin Shu ‘sister-in-law’ in front of his brother, he did not want to anymore.

  Qin Shu thought that Fu Tingyan was hesitating because he didn’t like her. She asked again, “Are you never going to step into Bright Garden?”


  Fu Tingyan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. Qin Shu was right. His brother was never going to give Qin Shu up.

  He couldn’t possibly stop going to Bright Garden for the rest of his life just because of Qin Shu, right?

  A lifetime was very long……

  “Who said I won’t go in? I was just wondering if I should call grandma to tell her so that she wouldn’t worry.”


  Fu Tingyan looked away, stepped on the gas, and drove straight into Bright Garden.

  Seeing Fu Tingyan’s proud expression, Qin Shu couldn’t help but laugh out loud as she walked into the house.

  When Qin Shu walked into the living room, Ning Meng came up to her and asked with a smile, “Madam, do you want to eat some fruit first?”


  Qin Shu nodded. “Sure.”


  Hearing that, Ning Meng immediately turned around and went to prepare some fruits.

  After Ning Meng left, Qin Shu saw Fu Tingyan’s slender figure sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

  There was a small table on the side of the sofa. The height of the table could be adjusted.

  Fu Tingyan stretched out his long arm and moved the table to his front. The height was just right.

  The table was specially customized by Fu Tingyu for him to play games on.

  Fu Tingyan took out his laptop from his schoolbag and placed it on the table. He switched it on.

  He had switched on the laptop not to play games but to search for news about Mr. Y inviting his fans to a closed beta testing session and who the chosen person was.

  Qin Shu strode to the sofa and sat down. She opened her bag and took out her laptop, placing it on her lap.
