My Hidden Wife is Sweet Chapter 4: The Tricky Meng Ruya

Fu Shiqin exploded in fury the second he heard it, roaring in rage, “Mu Weiwei, we shelled out tens of millions of yuan for that painting, which ties directly into our crucial partnership with Wilson Group, and you dumped coffee on it?”

Fu Hanzheng kept his feelings hidden unlike Fu Shiqin, though a chill had already settled on his face. “Can it be fixed somehow?”

Meng Ruya shook her head in despair. “I’ve already taken the painting to specialists, and they rang up saying repairs aren’t possible. Mr. Wilson arrives in the capital tomorrow, and both he and his wife adore this artwork. What do we do now?”

Gu Weiwei gazed steadily at the talking Meng Ruya and let out a faint sneer. From what she recalled, the painting sat in the back seat, and Meng Ruya had deliberately asked Mu Weiwei to hold onto it.

Plus, Meng Ruya was the one who purchased the coffee for her.

Meng Ruya bought the coffee, and it spilled due to her abrupt braking. Yet now, it looked like Mu Weiwei bore all the blame.

She was the scheming type who shifted fault onto Mu Weiwei. Such a cunning woman!

Since Mu Weiwei joined the Fu Family, Meng Ruya had acted like a kind older sister approaching her. Mu Weiwei, being young and naive, couldn’t spot that Meng Ruya was actually trapping her.

Meng Ruya claimed Fu Hanzheng favored sexy ladies, so she dolled herself up overly mature, hiding her natural pretty youthful looks. In the end, she resembled a nightclub hostess paid to booze with wealthy elders.

Meng Ruya said altering the Fu Family’s Feng Shui could shift her bond with Fu Hanzheng, leading her to rearrange household items and shatter the Fu Family’s precious antique vase.

....

Step by step, Mu Weiwei turned into the girl loathed by everyone in the Fu Family.

Mu Weiwei might have been young and clueless, blind to this woman’s schemes. But as Gu Weiwei, she wasn’t fooled. Meng Ruya hadn’t truly helped her; instead, she aimed to make Fu Hanzheng and the Fu Family despise her, paving the way for her expulsion.

Fu Hanzheng shot a icy glance at Gu Weiwei. “Mu Weiwei, no matter what, you’ll face the consequences.”

The Old Lady glanced at the silent Gu Weiwei. “Weiwei, did you truly... destroy the painting?”

Gu Weiwei nodded meekly, “Yes, I spilled the coffee.”

Though it wasn’t Mu Weiwei’s intent, the spill happened because of her.

The Old Lady sighed in letdown. Last night’s incident had already irritated Hanzheng, who spared her accountability only for his grandma’s sake by just telling her to leave the house.

Yet this involved a business deal. Fu’s Enterprise and Wilson Group negotiated for months, waiting ages for Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson to visit for in-depth talks on the partnership.

Since the pair loved Priam’s works, they poured huge effort into sourcing one to gift them.

And now, this hard-won painting lay ruined by Mu Weiwei’s coffee.

Fu Hanzheng eyed Meng Ruya. “Return the painting.”

Meng Ruya quickly dialed. In under an hour, the damaged painting sat before Gu Weiwei.

Fu Hanzheng’s tone turned harsh. “Two options for you—first, restore the painting perfectly. Second, procure another Priam piece.”

Gu Weiwei blinked, her gaze turning sharp and clever.

“Got a third option?”

Fu Hanzheng stared at her with utter coldness.

“Or else, bear the responsibility.”

“Master, Weiwei didn’t do it on purpose. Priam’s paintings are super rare out there. We hunted for months for this one. How can she find another now?” Meng Ruya rose and kept begging on her behalf.

“Ruya, quit shielding her. Without accountability, she’s headed to prison.” Fu Shiqin scoffed.

Meng Ruya glimpsed Fu Hanzheng’s frosty face and hid a smirk.

This time, Mu Weiwei was surely getting booted from the Fu Family.

She herself couldn’t settle here—why should this brat claim a spot?

Gu Weiwei stayed unafraid amid the tension. She eyed the painting before her.

“Truth is, you ought to thank me.”
