After Fang Liu had arrived home, she returned to her room. She called her birth mother’s defense lawyer, Zhu Chang, to report on her mother’s current situation.

After the accident that happened to Fang Liu’s mother, Zhu Chang became in charge of the bankrupted company’s affairs and her mother’s lawsuit. Fang Liu had contacted Zhu Chang when she was kicked out of the Fang family home.

Zhu Chang was less than thirty years old this year. He was a poor student sponsored by Fang Liu’s mother to go to university in his early years. After Fang Liu’s mother went bankrupt, she couldn’t pay Zhu Chang’s lawyer fees. However, Zhu Chang was grateful for her selfless funding for him back then and had been handling his sponsor’s affairs without receiving any payment.

“The situation isn’t looking too good. Miss Tao will not be released from prison if the debt isn’t paid off soon. There’s nothing we can do without the money,” Zhu Chang sighed and said somewhat helplessly.

Fang Liu frowned and pondered for a moment. She finally concluded and said, “Zhu Chang, buy me some time. I just need a few more months. I will think of a way to earn enough money to bail my mother out.”

After hanging up the phone, Fang Liu thought about how the Mo family had promised one hundred million yuan in betrothal money. The Fang family wanted to trick her for one hundred million yuan. Fang Liu could not let the Fang family get that money no matter what.

Fang Liu wanted to get one hundred million yuan and invest in a business to earn more money to repay her mother’s debt. However, Fang Liu had never done business before, but she had an extremely high intellect. She could quickly master whatever she chose to study. She believed that she would earn enough money to get her mother out of prison.

As Fang Liu had decided to do business, Fang Liu thought she should first understand the market situation. Fang Liu suddenly remembered. 

‘Isn’t my husband a powerful businessman in Southern City?’

Fang Liu’s eyes lit up, and she immediately searched for information about Mo Yu on her tablet. Mo Yu was involved in the chip development industry. He had built a team to research and develop innovative technology and competed with leading chip manufacturing companies. Besides, he also acquired entertainment companies to have the power to sway public opinion.

The more research Fang Liu did, the more amazed she became. Her husband was simply the most legendary business genius in the whole of Southern City. Fang Liu studied Mo Yu’s business strategies as she browsed. She was so engrossed that she didn’t even hear the maid calling for her when it was time for dinner— it was past eight o’clock. 

It was not until a pair of big hands suddenly pulled the tablet away from her that she came back to her senses. Fang Liu blinked her sore eyes and looked up.

Mo Yu looked at her gloomily, with a hint of resentment in his eyes, as though Fang Liu had done something unkind to him.

It took Fang Liu a while before she could speak a word, “You’re back?”

Mo Yu reached out and softly pinched Fang Liu’s delicate chin. He drearily said, “You haven’t even thought of giving me a call ever since you got home?”

“Give you a call?” Fang Liu blinked her big eyes. “I had no reason to call you, so why would I?”

Those words make Mo Yu’s heart hurt. His face turned dark. “Oh, we’ve only been married for a day, so you’ve already forgotten about me? I didn’t know that women could be so heartless.”

‘What was with his resentful tone?’

Fang Liu felt that Mo Yu had described her as a heartless and uncompassionate woman. She immediately defended herself with dissatisfaction. “I was afraid that I would be disrupting your work. You must have been very busy. Besides, I don’t even have your phone number.”

“Those are all excuses.” Mo Yu lowered his gaze. 

Before Fang Liu could react, their lips touched. Mo Yu bit Fang Liu’s lips several times to vent the frustrations and anger in his heart. Only then did he release Fang Liu. “This is your punishment.”

The kiss disrupted fang Liu’s breathing, and her face turned bright red. 

‘Why is he so good at kissing?!’

Mo Yu felt much better after seeing Fang Liu’s face blush with shyness. Only then did Mo Yu turn his attention to the tablet that Fang Liu was looking at.

“What are you looking at so intently?”

Mo Yu flipped over the tablet and saw a news report. It was a photo of Mo Yu that a reporter took. In the photo, Mo Yu’s face was expressionless, and Mo Yu had a cold look in his eyes..
