The video on the internet lasted for three and a half minutes, but before Song Fengwan finished watching it, her eyes were already red with fury.
Actually, school bullying was a common occurrence, and many people experienced it. Song Fengwan had almost no friends at school. Girls formed cliques and were unwilling to play with her. This was also a form of bullying.
The comments below were also a messâ¦
âThese kinds of people are beasts. They do whatever they want just because their family has some money. Does no one care?â
âI was bullied for three years and refused to go to school but was forcibly sent to school by my family. Then I suffered even more severe ridicule.â
âSuch people should be slapped in return. Theyâll become f*cking obedient after a good beating.â
â¦
In addition to these comments, more people were paying attention to Sun Ruiâs family background. Once this kind of news spread, the impact was extremely bad. Some people even started to encourage others to boycott this familyâs company.
When the stock market was about to close for the day, the Sun Groupâs shares fell to their lowest value since the financial crisis.
Song Fengwan turned her head and looked at Fu Chen. âDoes Sun Rui really dare to behave so recklessly?â
She had guessed at the first moment that Fu Chen had done this. He was the only person Sun Rui had offended recently. Besides, not many people dared to go against the Sun family.
âThe Sun Family is still powerful, so the students donât dare say anything.â Fu Chen had paid no attention to Sun Rui in the past, so he naturally didnât know what she had done. But after an investigation, it was really impressive.
âWhere did this video come from?â
âA girl who played with her back then took the video and uploaded it to Qzone. Itâs been many years, but she hasnât deleted it.â
Song Fengwan raised an eyebrow.?No wonder it didnât look like the video was taken secretly. Sheâs truly reckless.
But this kind of person deserved it. She didnât pity her at all.
Before Fu Chen reached home, his phone vibrated. It was Sun Qionghua. Song Fengwan shot him a glance. If she could guess it, Sun Qionghua must have too.
âYouâre not answering?â
âNo need.â Since Fu Chen had decided to make a move, he had never considered what Sun Qionghua would think.
Furthermore, what he had exposed was the truth. He hadnât fabricated anything or deliberately framed her. He had just presented the facts to everyone.

Shen Jinye called Fu Chen and said that he wanted to eat mutton hotpot tonight, making Fu Chen frown.
Heâs asking to eat and drink the second day after he just arrived.
Afraid of his older sister, he still nodded in agreement and told him to call Fu Sinian over too.
Shen Jinye was worrying about how to move to Fu Sinianâs place, so he immediately called him. Since Fu Chen had spoken, Fu Sinian took a shower, changed his clothes, and went out.
When he went out, the door opposite him was still wide open, and there were all sorts of miscellaneous items piled up inside. Clearly, they hadnât been sorted out yet because the clanging sounds had not stopped.
He locked the door, left, and waited for the elevator.
When the door opened, he immediately frowned.
Inside stood a woman carrying a huge cardboard box. She was wearing a white knitted woolen dress that reached her ankles and a pair of open-toe fuzzy slippers. There seemed to be a light layer of nail polish on her toes, making them look neat and shiny. Set off against black velvet, they were fair and translucent.
She was wearing a disposable mask and hat. Her peach blossom-shaped eyes were excessively alluring, and her eyelashes were slender and slightly curled. She looked straight at Fu Sinian, her eyes unfathomably bright.
Fu Sinian moved sideways and waited for her to come out. Even until the elevator door was about to close, she still didnât move.
He reached out to press the button. âAre you coming out?â
The person inside was startled for two seconds. Carrying the cardboard box, she walked out of the elevator with some difficulty. She wasnât only nervous but also anxious, and she nearly knocked the box over.
Fu Sinian reached out in time to help her hold the box. It wasnât that heavy, but for girls, their arms would still ache after holding it for a long time.
âThank you,â she hurriedly thanked.
Fu Sinian looked straight ahead and entered the elevator.
The person at the elevator door turned around and looked at him.
He seemed to have just taken a shower, as his hair was half-dry. He wasnât wearing a suit like before. Instead, he was wearing a black down jacket with an open zipper, making him look a little lazy.
Fu Sinian frowned. Without waiting for the elevator door to close, he raised his hand and pressed the button to close the door.
Whatâs wrong with this person? Sheâs staring at me so fixedly.
Isnât she that personâs girlfriend? Isnât she being too brazen by staring at me like that?
The elevator door closed, and the girl on the 16th floor turned her head to look at the tightly closed door beside her. Suddenly, she laughed out loud.
â⦠Comrade Little Yu, why are you dawdling at the door? Iâm about to faint from exhaustion helping you move.â A man walked out of the condo. He was covered in dust from cleaning.
âThanks. Iâll treat you to hotpot later.â She smiled with overflowing charm.
âOh, your treat? How rare.â
She smiled and moved the cardboard box in.
âI asked someone to find this condo. Didnât you say itâs too far from the city center? Iâll look for another one for you later.â
âNo need. This place is quite nice.â She took out the items from the cardboard box one by one. âGive me the landlordâs phone number later. One month deposit plus three months advance payment? Iâll rent it for a year first.â
âDidnât you say you would stay for a little over a month and then leave after Lunar New Year?â
She smiled without saying anything.
Meanwhile, when Fu Sinian reached the underground garage, he couldnât help frowning. When he walked past herâ¦
This personâs body had smelled too good.
She was wearing a waist-hugging wool dress and had a slender waist. One look at her, and he could tell that she lived an exquisite life. Her eyes were especially seductive. She was a bewitching woman.
That family was still quite conservative. That person had found a seductive girlfriend, but who knew if his family could accept her smoothly.

While Fu Sinian was driving to Yunjin Prime Manor, Huai Sheng was teasing Fu Xinhan with a teething rusk. Shen Jinye was sitting on the sofa and playing with his phone, probably playing a game.
âBig Bro, youâre finally here!â Shen Chuye rushed over as though he had seen a Bodhisattva who rescued people in distress.
âWhatâs wrong?â Fu Sinian placed the drink he had brought at the side.
âI donât know why, but Little Uncle has been tormenting me. If I continue to stay here, Iâll definitely go crazy.â
âYou donât know how you offended him?â Fu Sinian raised an eyebrow.?This unlucky boy actually hasnât realized that something is fishy yet?
Shen Jinye was dumbfounded. âHow would I know? I didnât do anything. Itâs ridiculous. He didnât even let me drive his car. It was such a cold day, yet I rode a bike out.â
This couldnât be blamed on him either. If Fu Chen hadnât admitted it himself, he wouldnât have dared to pair the two together.
âBig Bro, take me away.â
âIâm a bad person. and I will trick you.â Fu Sinian patted his shoulder.
Shen Jinye was stunned.?I only said that casually. Why is he so vengeful? No wonder heâs still an old bachelor at thirty.

Before dinner, Fu Sinian received a call and went to find Fu Chen specially.
He was in the study. On the desk was an incense burner wafting out sandalwood incense, and the ink on the scripture he just transcribed had yet to dry.
Fu Chen had written an excellent slender golden style calligraphy. It was elegant and beautiful but had a hidden sharpness to it.
He was reading the book âHeart Cleansing Incantationâ while listening to âSha Family Creekâs Fight of Wisdomâ. He lifted his eyes and looked at Fu Sinian. âYouâre here. Sit.â
âItâs chaos outside, yet youâre still in the mood to listen to opera? The entire capital has exploded.â Fu Sinian was naturally referring to the Sun family.
âShe looked for you?â
âSecond Aunt asked me if Iâve seen you. She said she couldnât find you. Did you do this?â Fu Sinian casually flipped through the Buddhist scripture. Most of it was traditional Chinese characters arranged vertically, making it strenuous to read.
Fu Chen turned the page and didnât deny it.
âSun Rui is from Second Auntâs family. Your actions are tantamount to offending her directly.â
âIâd offend her sooner or later.â
Fu Sinian lowered his head and let out a muffled laugh.?Thatâs true.
When Fu Chenâs relationship with Song Fengwan was announced in the future, it would also be a blatant slap to his second uncleâs familyâs faces. His second aunt looked down on Song Fengwan, which was something their family knew very well. They could hear a thing or two in the occasional family chitchat.
The daughter-in-law she looked down on had been chosen by the arrogant Fu Chen.
It wouldnât be pleasant to hear when word got out.
In the end, people wouldnât say that Fu Chen was blind but that their whole family couldnât recognize a pearl when they saw it.
How could a strong-minded and competitive person like Sun Qionghua get along with him peacefully again?
âWhat did she do to offend you this time? Why did you have to cause such a big commotion? This matter canât be suppressed. Even the police have stepped in to investigate. Even the principal and teachers back then were brought back for questioning.â No matter how powerful the Sun family was, they couldnât go against the law.
Since this matter had blown up, they definitely had to give the public an explanation.
âItâs fine if she offended me, but she went to find trouble with Wanwan.â
Fu Sinianâs eyes darkened by a few degrees. âShe suffered a loss?â
âWell, no.â
Fu Sinian thought so too. If Song Fengwan had suffered a big loss, Fu Chen would have rushed to the Sun family long ago.
People in the capital only said that Fu Chen looked kind on the outside but was ruthless on the inside, so he was most cold-hearted. But this person had entered his heart, so he would protect her forever.
âYouâre quite ruthless this time. I think youâve completely offended the Sun family now. Second Aunt might have already complained to Grandma.â
Fu Chen laughed silently. Since he had done it, he wasnât afraid of her lodging a complaint. He turned his head and looked at Fu Sinian. âSinian, when you have someone in your heart, youâll understand.
âFacing the person youâre carefully protecting, even when you start interacting with her, youâll be very gentle and cautious, and you deliberate over your words again and again.
âHow can I possibly let others bully her?â
Fu Sinian chuckled lightly.?It seems like Third Uncle is serious about her.
He prided himself on being rational and self-restrained. Even if he encountered such a thing, he might not be as ruthless as Fu Chen. But when he really fell in love, and his beloved was bullied, it would naturally be another scene.

Old Fu residenceâ¦
The news of the Sun family getting into trouble had spread to them long ago. Although they were in-laws, Fu Yuxiuâs family was in Yuncheng all year round. Even if the Sun family wanted to curry favor with the Fu family, it was still too embarrassing to pay visits frequently. So their relationship had always been lukewarm.
âThis Sun Rui is a little arrogant and domineering, but I didnât expect her to bully people so badly in private.â Old Madam Fu had watched the video and was so angry that she didnât even eat dinner.
âWhich familyâs child is not the apple of their parentsâ eye? What did she do wrong? Did she have to hit her like that?
âThe Sun family spoils their children too much. I just knew something would happen!â
Before Old Master Fu could speak, Uncle Zhong ran in. âOld Master, Old Madam, I just received news that the police came and brought Miss Sun back to the station for investigation.â
âShe deserves it!â Old Madam Fu harrumphed lightly.
Not long later, the landline phone rang. After Uncle Zhong answered the call, he looked toward the two elders. âItâs Second Madam.â
âGive it to me.â Old Madam Fu reached out to take the phone. âHello, Qionghua.â
âMotherââ It was already two in the morning where Sun Qionghua was overseas. She wasnât in China and couldnât help. She was worried sick.
âItâs quite late over on your side. Arenât you asleep yet?â
âI canât fall asleep. Itâs justâ¦â Sun Qionghua hesitated. âItâs about Little Ruiâs matter.â
âWhatâs the matter?â
âShe offended Third Brother before, but I donât know how she offended him again this time. Sheâs still a child. This time is reallyâ¦â
âQionghua,â Old Madam Fu interrupted. âI know very well what you want to say. First of all, I donât know what happened between her and Third Son, but there are a few things I have to clarify with you.
âFirst, Iâve watched the video online. Itâs a fact that she bullied people at school using her authority and humiliated her classmates. This is the truth. Even if Third Son did do something, he didnât deliberately bully her by distorting the truth.
âFurthermore, the police have already stepped in to investigate this matter. Whether itâs right or wrong, someone will naturally give her an explanation. Even your father has no right to interfere with the affairs of the law enforcement department.â
The father here naturally referred to Old Master Fu.
âFinally, I want to say that Sun Rui isnât a child anymore. She should take responsibility for her mistakes. If her father canât discipline her well, there will naturally be other people and the law to restrain her. In no way will it be your duty to intervene.â
With that, Old Madam Fu hung up.
Sun Qionghuaâs face flushed red.
Although Old Madam Fu hadnât said it explicitly, she had made it clear that she wasnât allowed to help her the slightest bit with the title of the second madam of the Fu family.
This problem was Sun Ruiâs fault to begin with. Sun Qionghua wasnât on the side of reason, so she could only receive a scolding passively.
However, she was resentful that Fu Chen had done things too ruthlessly and publicly. He was trying to ruin Sun Rui completely.
â¦
Fu Sinian asked Fu Chen the same question. âDo you want to destroy Sun Rui completely?â
Fu Chen merely smiled at him. âIâm helping her parents educate her.â
His tone was gentle but immensely arrogant.
