Beijing, Yunjin Prime Manor…
Fu Chen was dealing with his backlog of documents with his head lowered. Qian Jiang was standing in front of him and talking about what had just happened in Yuncheng.
“Second Madam has intentions to matchmake Young Master Yuxiu and Miss Song again, and she has been creating opportunities for them.”
Fu Chen narrowed his eyes, and his gaze darkened.
“On the way to sending Miss Song back to the atelier, Young Master Yuxiu went to save Jiang Fengya. It seemed like her foster father came looking for her.”
“Is that so?” Fu Chen lifted his eyelids and pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek. Her foster father came to find her? So coincidentally?
“Then he abandoned Miss Song and Huai Sheng halfway.”
Fu Chen suddenly exerted force on his fingers, and a page of the document in his hand was instantly torn. “And then?”
He abandoned my Wanwan halfway?
That punk!
He’s really f*cking capable.
“Mr. Qiao and Ms. Qiao rushed over and have already brought them home. Young Master Yuxiu took Jiang Fengya to the hospital, and their injuries aren’t minor. Second Madam is looking for them all over the city.”
“Have you investigated Jiang Fengya’s foster father?” Fu Chen narrowed his eyes.
His eyes were gentle and moist but contained a hidden sharpness.
“He’s a gambler and has a lot of debt. Jiang Fengya’s mother married him while pregnant. After the child was born, he found out that he had been cuckolded, but he didn’t dare to speak up about it. He just beat his wife and daughter at home. Her mother couldn’t take it and committed suicide by jumping into a river a few years ago. When she was pulled up from the river, she was already dead.
“He’s been in Yuncheng for some time, and it’s not the first time he’s contacted Jiang Fengya.
“She has probably been secretly helping him financially. I don’t know what happened this time for him to cause such a big commotion.”
Qian Jiang had a straightforward personality, and he just spoke the facts.
Fu Chen lowered his head and smiled. “She’s using him.”
Qian Jiang was puzzled.
“You said it yourself just now. He’s a gambler. This kind of desperado doesn’t know how to control his strength. With Second Sister-in-Law’s personality, she will absolutely make him suffer for beating Yuxiu up so badly.
“Jiang Fengya is also worried that Second Sister-in-Law will matchmake Yuxiu and Wanwan again. Moreover, she has had enough of this foster father.
“So she might as well kill two birds with one stone. Let Fu Yuxiu feel sorry for her and ruin Second Sister-in-Law’s plan to repair their relationship with the Qiao family. At the same time, she can also get rid of her foster father.”
Hearing this, Qian Jiang nodded seriously. “In that case, she has a vicious personality, so she’s not pitiful.”
Fu Chen took out his phone and made a call.
***
Sun Qionghua had just arrived at the hospital and was talking about Fu Yuxiu’s condition with the doctor.
When she heard that it was because of Jiang Fengya again, she hated her to the core. She’s just like a ghost haunting my family.
When she heard her phone ring, she was still feeling annoyed. When she saw that it was Fu Chen, she hesitated for a moment before answering the call. “Third Brother, you’re calling me so late. What’s the matter?”
“Have you arrived at the hospital?”
Sun Qionghua knew that she couldn’t hide the truth and sighed. “You already know about it?”
“Huai Sheng called me,” Fu Chen lied casually. Sun Qionghua wasn’t in the mood at all to find the child and verify this.
“Good things don’t get out of doors, but bad things spread far and wide.”
“Don’t touch her foster father.”
“Don’t touch him?! You haven’t seen how badly Yuxiu was beaten up!” When Sun Qionghua arrived at the hospital and saw that her son had been beaten up beyond recognition, her heart ached terribly.
Fu Chen really wanted to reply: Doesn’t he deserve it?
“So what do you want to do? Directly lock that person into prison? Sue him until he goes to jail? Second Sister-in-Law, there are countless criminals like him. If this matter blows up, all of Yuncheng will know that because of a woman, Yuxiu fought with her foster father.
“Right now, everyone thinks that the two of them have broken up. Are you trying to help her?
“Successfully tying her to the Fu family? And even helping her get rid of a troublesome foster father?”
When Sun Qionghua saw that her son had been beaten up, she had been blinded by anger, and only after Fu Chen reminded her did she manage to calm down. “Third Brother, thank you so much.”
“Go ahead with what you’re busy with. I won’t disturb you further.” Fu Chen directly hung up.
Sun Qionghua took a deep breath and carefully thought about the entire matter. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, yet she could only endure it. Using my hand to get rid of someone, what a vicious mind.
Qian Jiang didn’t understand why Fu Chen did this. “Third Master, are you just going to let that person wander outside and not care about him?”
“This is Jiang Fengya’s family affair. As long as it doesn’t involve Wanwan, what does it have to do with me?”
That man definitely won’t have the guts to find trouble with Fu Yuxiu. Keeping him around is equivalent to setting up an untimed bomb for Jiang Fengya. She probably will never be able to have a night of peaceful sleep again.
***
Inside a hospital in Yuncheng…
Jiang Fengya’s injuries weren’t that serious. After the doctor treated her wounds, she asked Fu Yuxiu where he was in the ward, wanting to go and look for him.
When she pushed open the door of the ward, the bed was clean and empty. The only person here was Sun Qionghua, who was sitting on a chair at the side and looking down at her phone. Hearing the sound of the door opening, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Fengya.
“Miss Jiang, please come in.”
Jiang Fengya had only seen her once during the filiation banquet. Sun Qionghua was domineering and sharp, and Jiang Fengya feared her from the bottom of her heart.
She walked in hesitantly.
“Close the door.”
She closed the door obediently. When she turned around, Sun Qionghua had already walked to her front. She was wearing high heels and looking down at Jiang Fengya with a scornful expression and a look of disdain.
“Young lady, I really underestimated you. You have quite some tricks up your sleeves, don’t you?”
The bruises on Jiang Fengya’s face had yet to fade, and her back pressed against the door. She felt Sun Qionghua’s cold breath approaching her. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. I just want to tell you not to have any ideas about my son again.
“Don’t attempt to use anyone either. Yuxiu is young and impetuous, so it’s inevitable that he’ll be deceived by others. But I’m not stupid. I know your thoughts and what you’re capable of.
“Let me warn you. If I find out that you’re playing tricks behind my back again…
“I’ll make you scram out of Yuncheng disgraced, and you won’t even be able to survive in the country, let alone find some other powerful figure.”
Jiang Fengya’s breathing stagnated, and she didn’t dare to breathe loudly.
“Get lost!” Sun Qionghua gritted her teeth in anger. She really couldn’t tell what was so good about this woman in front of her that made her son fall head over heels for her.
Jiang Fengya’s face was pale as she moved to the side.
Sun Qionghua’s high heels were crisp and clear as they landed on the floor with her every step.
It was as though Sun Qionghua had torn a hole in her heart and was trampling on it mercilessly. In her eyes, Jiang Fengya was just like a puny clown.
Jiang Fenya walked out of the room as though she had lost her soul. She asked the nurse on duty and found out that Fu Yuxiu had already been transferred to another hospital long ago. Sun Qionghua clearly wanted to cut off all the ties between them.
Before she even walked out of the hospital, her phone vibrated. When she saw the familiar caller ID, she was so frightened that her entire body trembled and her face paled…
Why isn’t he dead yet?
***
At the Qiao family mansion…
Song Fengwan didn’t take this incident to heart at all, but Qiao Wangbei was furious. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he almost rushed to the Fu residence in the middle of the night with a carving knife.
Qiao Aiyun couldn’t stop him and called Yan Wangchuan over to help.
The two men talked for a long time in the living room, and Yan Wangchuan was instead actually convinced by him.
“They indeed went too far.” Yan Wangchuan reached out his hand and tugged at his tie, looking as though he was preparing to go out and fight alongside Qiao Wangbei.
Qiao Aiyun was so angry that she stomped her feet. “If either of you dares to go out tonight, I’ll cut ties with you!”
The two middle-aged men barely stopped in their tracks and then shrank back into the house.
“You two, go back to sleep.” Qiao Aiyun’s face was red from anger.
Qiao Wangbei coughed twice and went upstairs, while Yan Wangchuan planned to walk out of the door.
“Yan Wangchuan, where are you going?”
Yan Wangchuan furrowed his brows. Since when did she dare to call me by my full name? “I’m going back to the hotel to sleep.”
Qiao Aiyun sighed. “It’s too late. Just sleep here.”
Yan Wangchuan nodded and went upstairs obediently.
Song Fengwan listened to the commotion downstairs and was caught between laughter and tears.
Knowing that nothing would happen tonight, she crawled into bed and called Fu Chen. She didn’t take the initiative to mention what had happened tonight. She herself felt nauseous about the incident, so there was no need for her to disgust Fu Chen.
“Let’s video call. I want to see you.” Fu Chen had already returned to his bedroom and was leaning against the headboard.
Song Fengwan hesitated for a moment before running to the mirror to tidy herself up. She combed her hair twice before changing the call to a video call.
Fu Chen was only wearing a set of thin white pajamas, and his black hair hung loosely in front of his forehead, making him look casual and uninhibited.
Song Fengwan adjusted the camera and tried to make her face look smaller. “Actually, there’s nothing much to see even if we video call.”
“You look good.”
“Huh?”
“You’re… very pretty.”
Song Fengwan’s ears flushed red at a visible speed.
“Wanwan.”
“Yes?” Song Fengwan didn’t dare to look at him directly. Who would say sweet nothings and tease me as soon as he opens his mouth?
“I miss you. I want to hug you.”
“Come here if you dare…” Song Fengwan said casually. “Alright, since you’ve seen me, I’m ending the video call. I have to get up early tomorrow.”
Fu Chen smiled and nodded. “Good night.”
***
The next morning…
Song Fengwan saw Fu Chen at the entrance of the atelier.
Her fingers trembled, and her half-eaten steamed meat bun fell.
