Nanjiang, Yan residenceâ¦
Fu Chen returned to his room to take a shower and read Buddhist scriptures for a while before going downstairs leisurely. Duan Linbai had woken up early. His schedule used to be reversed, but after becoming blind, he hadnât been staying up late at night.
âOh, Third Fu, have a taste of this soup. Itâs really good and delicious.â Duan Linbai reached out his hand to greet him.
Fu Chen glanced at the soup bowl. He could vaguely see some nourishing food like wolfberries and red dates.
âStewed soup early in the morning?â Fu Chen sat down beside him.
âThird Master, you donât know this, but Madam had an accident some time ago and has been nourishing her body. Donât you want to get married? You definitely have to nurse your body and prepare for the futureâ¦â Mother Huang smiled.
âPfftâCough, coughâ¦â Duan Linbai immediately choked when he heard this.?This is soup for Qiao Aiyun. It must be to nurse her body for pregnancy. Itâs f*cking for womenâ¦
âThis thing doesnât have distinctions between men and women. Old Madam, Sir, and Miss all drink it. Youâre too thin. Drink more.â While speaking, Mother Huang scooped a bowl for Fu Chen.
Duan Linbai was lean and fair. Just by looking at him, people felt that he was a little weak.
After all, it was a tonic. The soup was thick and had little salt, so it tasted sweet, making it hard to swallow. Fu Chen drank two sips before stopping. The rest entered Duan Linbaiâs stomach.
âThird Fu, your future mother-in-law is taking care so much to nourish her body. Is she planning to have a child?â Duan Linbai whispered.
Fu Chen rubbed his prayer beads and licked the inside of his cheek with the tip of his tongue without saying anything.
âMs. Qiao is only around forty. After the second-child policy was rescinded, many people her age want a child. Itâs normal for her to remarry and have another child.â
âCongratulations on having a brother-in-law or sister-in-law whoâs almost thirty years younger than you. Hahaâ¦â
Duan Linbai laughed wantonly. Fu Chen suddenly glared at him, and he immediately fell silent. He lowered his head and drank the soup.
âIâm telling the truth. When Little Sister-in-Law goes to university, she wonât feel burdened. The Yan family has no heirs, so they definitely want to raise one.â
As Fu Chen held a skewer, a small person with the same style as Yan Wangchuan suddenly popped up in his mind, and his mouth twitchedâ¦
My head hurts a little.
He couldnât think of how someone like Yan Wangchuan would coax a child. Would this child be able to live to eighteen safely?
***
After Song Fengwanâs summer vacation started, she woke up at around seven in the morning. When she went downstairs, everyone was here, including Yan Shaochen.
She originally thought that she could go out with Fu Chen openly today.
It was an appointment at public expense.
Unexpectedly, Yan Wangchuan directly said, âIâm taking leave today to go out with you.â
It turned out that last night, Old Madam Yan had derided him for not accompanying his wife and daughter, so Yan Wangchuan had specially taken leave today and didnât go to work.
Old Madam Yan was worried about not taking good care of Fu Chen and Duan Linbai, so she had specially invited Yan Shaochen over.
She had originally thought that they could spend some alone time together, but she didnât expect so many people to go at once.
Just as the group was about to leave, Mother Huang ran in. âOld Madam, Mrs. Xiao is here again.â
âInvite her in.â Old Madam Yan frowned.
Mrs. Xiao entered the house with the gifts. When she saw that there were so many people in the living room, she looked embarrassed. She specially chose to come over at around nine because she wanted to wait for Yan Wangchuan to go to work before apologizing. She didnât expect Fu Chen and the others to be here too.
Old Madam Yan knew her purpose. Xiao Jingan was the one who had done something wrong. His mother had come with a gift, so it was really not good to chase her out.
âHave a seat first.â Old Madam Yan beckoned her to sit down.
âMom, weâll be leaving first. Mrs. Xiao, Iâm really sorry. I canât entertain you.â Qiao Aiyun had already packed up and was preparing to leave.
âI came at the wrong time.â Mrs. Xiao appeared very polite.
Not only did they offend the Yan family, but they also involved Fu Chen and Duan Linbai. The Xiao family definitely had to express their attitude.
After a few pleasantries, a shout suddenly came from outside. When Old Madam Yan heard the voice, she knew who it was and frowned.
â⦠Donât stop me. I must see the old madam today!â
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. When he looked up at the door, a woman in her forties ran in shouting.
âOld Madam, we couldnât stop her.â The servant at the door had a helpless look on her face, and her clothes had been torn into a mess.
The person who came in was Yan Zhihuanâs motherâZhang Suqiu.
âMom, calm down!â Yan Zhile followed behind her and kept stopping her. But how could she stop a crazy woman?
Yan Zhihuan followed behind him. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she was still crying non-stop. Her face had obviously been hit by someone, and it was swollen.
â⦠What do you want to do? There are so many people here.â Yan Zhile grabbed her arm.
âOh good, youâre here too! Thatâs just right! Since your Xiao family isnât letting me into your house, Iâll settle this matter in front of the old madam today!â Zhang Suqiu shook off Yan Zhile. She was caught off guard, fell to the floor, and sucked in a sharp breath of cold air in pain.
âBig Sis.â Song Fengwan was close to her and hurriedly helped her up.
Yan Zhileâs eyes were red, and she was at a loss for what to do.
When Mrs. Xiao saw Zhang Suqiu, her fingers tightened as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
Song Fengwan turned her head to look at Fu Chen.?The photos we sent must have worked.
Fu Chen was eating skewers with a calm expression, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
Zhang Suqiu didnât look for Mrs. Xiao but knelt in front of Old Madam Yan. âOld Madam, you have to seek justice for us. The Xiao family is too much of a bullyâ¦
âDo you think weâre easy to bully because weâre an orphan and a widow?
âYou defiled my daughter and refused to admit it. You even sent someone to give me this.â Zhang Suqiu took out a 500,000 yuan check from her pocket.
Ever since she entered the house, Old Madam Yanâs face darkened.
There were still guests around. If she kicked up a fuss here, wouldnât she be slapping her face? If Fu Chen and the others saw this and laughed at her, she wouldnât have anywhere to put her face.
âHelp your big sister sit over there,â Qiao Aiyun instructed Song Fengwan.
Something had happened in the family, and she couldnât let Fu Chen and the others go out first, so she could only ask them to sit down.
âBig Sis, letâs go over there.â Song Fengwan only cared about Yan Zhile and didnât care about Yan Zhihuan, who was crying to death.
Duan Linbai was happy. He didnât have any preferences in his life, and he only liked to watch and join in the fun.
When Zhang Suqiu entered the house and saw so many people, she was happy. She couldnât wait to blow the matter up, so she wailed even louder and passed the check to Old Madam Yanâ¦
âWhat do you think the Xiao family means? Their son already slept with my daughterâ¦â
She cried even more miserably.
âI went to the Xiao family to ask for an explanation. They didnât let me in and even sent me away with money.
âWho do they think our Yan familyâs daughter is? I want an explanation, not money. Do they think Iâm going to threaten them? Or am I selling my daughter to negotiate a deal?
âThatâs too insulting! Old Madam, you must seek justice for our Huanhuan.â
While speaking, Zhang Suqiu threw the check directly at Mrs. Xiaoâs face.
âI want an answer, not this bit of damn money from your family.â
Song Fengwan was speechless.
Indeed, everything was as Fu Chen had expected. This mother and daughter really came to cause trouble.
If they could marry the Xiao family as they wished, they naturally wouldnât care about this small sum of money. They were determined to cling to the Xiao family.
Mrs. Xiao was annoyed. âYouâre wrong. Your daughter was the one who seduced my son last night and threw herself at him. Donât be unreasonable.â
âIf Xiao Jingan didnât want to, would they have had sex?â Zhang Suqiu glared at her. âOur Huanhuan was a virgin. Something like this happened, so your Xiao family has to give us an explanation.â
âItâs normal for men and women to be passionate with each other. Our family has already done our part by giving you money as compensation. What else do you want?â
âIf you didnât feel sorry for Huanhuan, why did you give her money?â
Zhang Suqiu had gone to the Xiao residence to cause trouble, and the Xiao family had only given her the money because they wanted to settle the matter peacefully. Mrs. Xiao hadnât expected that this would become something used against her, and her face was ashen.
If not for Yan Zhihuan, Xiao Jingan wouldnât be squatting in the police station at this moment. The Xiao family hated her to the core. How could they let such a woman enter their family?
âYour Xiao family isnât willing to take responsibility, right?!â
Zhang Suqiu took out a stack of photos and threw them in front of her. âLook at them yourself. What are these? Didnât your son take the initiative?
âIâm also giving your Xiao family face. I wanted to settle this matter privately, but you forced me to fall out with you and embarrass everyone.
âIf you donât want to take responsibility, Iâll hand the photos to reporters. Your Xiao family must give my daughter an explanation!â
Old Madam Yan glanced at the photos.?How unsightly.
Zhang Suqiu flung the photos everywhere. Duan Linbai straightened his body slightly and narrowed his eyes.
What the f*ck? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Isnât this from last nightâ¦?
I gave these photos to Fu Chen last night, but this fellow actually used them here.
But if the person photographed last night was Song Fengwan, she wouldnât be able to explain it even if she talked her mouth off. It was Xiao Jingan who brought this upon himself.
Isnât it this show becoming too exciting? Are they planning to pair the scumbag and slut up?
How ruthless.
But I like it a lot.
Sure enough, only when Fu Chen made a move did people know what true skill was.
