Song Fengwan tilted her head and glanced at the photos scattered on the floor.
She was dumbfounded. Although the lighting was dim, their uncensored faces and naked bodies were still clearly visible in high definition.
When she wanted to look at them again, Fu Chen suddenly raised his foot and stepped on the photos.
She frowned slightly and looked at Fu Chen.
A certain someone was sitting there calmly, holding a skewer.?Whatâs there to see about this kind of dirty thing?
The Xiao family had also received the same photos last night. They had originally thought that someone wanted to blackmail them, but unexpectedly, nothing happened. Now that Zhang Suqiu had taken out the photos, Mrs. Xiao exploded.
âI was wondering why Yan Zhihuan took the initiative to seduce my son. It turns out that you and your daughter set him up. You deliberately took these photos to threaten our family and want to enter our Xiao family.â
âYouâre slandering us! We didnât take the photos!â Zhang Suqiu jumped up and argued.
âThen, where do you think these things came from?â Mrs. Xiao was angry. âIt canât be that someone specially sent them to you, right?â
Zhang Suqiu hesitated. âSomeone else indeed gave them to me.â
âHehââ Mrs. Xiao sneered.
âIn short, your Xiao family has to be responsible for defiling my daughter. Donât think about covering it up like this.â
âDefiled?â Mrs. Xiao sneered. âWas that her first time?â
âAuntie?â Yan Zhihuan fell to the floor as though she had been struck by lightning.
âEven if you donât admit our relationship, you canât humiliate me like this. I havenât had a boyfriend until now, but Big Brother Jinganâ¦
âYouâre saying itâs not my first time? Mom, I donât want to live anymoreâ¦â Yan Zhihuan got up and was about to run into the wall. âI guess I have to die before everyone believes that Iâm innocent.â
The moment Yan Zhile was about to move, Song Fengwan held her back.
When Yan Zhihuan saw that she was stopped, she was startled.
Zhang Suqiu ran overâ¦
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. âHuanhuan, donât be afraid. Iâll definitely get an explanation for you. I wonât let you be humiliated for no reason.â
Song Fengwan was speechless.?If she really wants to die, she should have killed herself in shame when caught on the spot last night. How could she have waited until now to make a scene?
âEnough!â Old Madam Yan raised her cane and hit the floor hard. âAre you done making a scene yet?â
The mother and daughter shivered in fright.
Zhang Suqiu knelt beside Old Madam Yan. âYouâre the head of our Yan family. You have to stand up for us. They canât bully us like this just because we donât have a man in our family.â
âIs our Xiao family bullying you, or are you being shameless?!â Mrs. Xiao had a stomach full of anger the day before and hadnât slept all night. She hadnât expected to suffer accusations like this the moment she arrived at the Yan residence.
âYou want to make it public, right? Go ahead and show people how your daughter seduced a man.
âIâm just afraid that it wonât be our Xiao family losing face, but your familyâ¦
âOnce the photos are exposed, other than our Xiao family, Iâm afraid she wonât be able to get married for the rest of her life! Go ahead!â
Zhang Suqiu was stunned, and her tears fell. âYou⦠are really bullying us!â
âYouâre the ones who want an explanation, and youâre the ones who want to publicize the photos. As long as you find the media, our Xiao family will definitely give you an explanation.
âYou canât see anything from the photos. Even if our Jingan took the initiative, I think she enjoyed it quite a lot. Itâs normal for men and women to fall in love and get intimate in todayâs society.
âWhat responsibility? How laughable!â
Since Mrs. Xiao was able to sit in this position, even if she wasnât impressive, she naturally wouldnât be bullied.
At this moment, Zhang Suqiu and her daughter were dumbfounded.
Zhang Suqiu gritted her teeth in hatred. âFine, you forced me.â
âI wonder who will be the one disgraced in the end. You donât even want your daughterâs reputation. Are you sure you want an explanation?â
When these kinds of things happened, for the sake of their childrenâs reputations, it was best to settle this matter privately. But she was insisting on blowing the matter up. Everyone knew her motive.
âI forced you?â Mrs. Xiao sneered. âFrom the moment you entered the house, youâve been so aggressive. Who exactly is the one looking for death?â
Song Fengwan turned her head to look at Mrs. Xiao. She was usually smiling, but she wasnât someone to be trifled with after being forced to this extent.
If this matter spread, it wouldnât be good for anyone. But the Xiao family was a big family after all, and they cared about their reputation. Zhang Suqiu only dared to threaten them like this because she knew this.
If the Xiao family didnât care, she really couldnât do anything.
Who knew what Zhang Suqiu planned to do?
When Zhang Suqiu saw that her coercion had failed, she steeled her heart and slumped on the floor. âOld Madam, you have to seek justice for me. You canât let them bully me like this. The Xiao family is deliberately forcing us to die.
âHe defiled my daughter, but theyâre still so self-righteous.
âI canât live like this anymore. I might as well go accompany Old Yan early. Itâs our fault that we donât have a man in our family and can only be bullied.â
â¦
Yan Wangchuan watched coldly from the side and frowned when he heard this. He wished he could throw them out directly.
âDonât you think itâs embarrassing enough?!â Old Madam Yan suddenly stood up and berated sternly. âContinue crying and howling. There are so many juniors around. Do you have any shame?!â
âOld Madamâ¦â Zhang Suqiu was so frightened that her body trembled. She stopped crying and curled up on the floor pitifully.
âI told her last night that she was the one who took the initiative to send herself to his door, so she should take responsibility for everything that happens. Iâm already old and canât manage so many things anymore.â
âYouâre the head of our Yan family. If you donât care, who will?â Zhang Suqiu was dumbfounded.
âYouâre forcing me to fall out with you, right? Fine, Iâll straighten things out for you today!â Old Madam Yan leaned on her cane, so angry that her eyes were blurry.
âMom.â Qiao Aiyun and Mother Huang immediately supported her. âCalm down. Let them handle this matter in private.â
âHandle it how? Doesnât she want me to make the decision? If I donât give her an explanation today, Iâm afraid she wonât leave!â Old Madam Yan patted the back of Qiao Aiyunâs hand. âGo sit at the side. This matter has nothing to do with you.â
Qiao Aiyun could only stand quietly at the side.
Old Madam Yan walked in front of Zhang Suqiu and looked at the person kneeling on the ground. âWhat do you want me to do? Get Yan Zhihuan to marry into the Xiao family?â
âI just want an explanation.â When Zhang Suqiu saw Old Madam Yanâs expression change, she felt inexplicably guilty and afraid.
âIsnât that your way of saying that she should marry into the Xiao family? As long as you consider her, you shouldnât have said this in front of so many people. Youâre not afraid of being ashamed, but I am embarrassed for you!â
Old Madam Yan berated her harshly, scaring Zhang Suqiu.
âI believe you know very well how things happened last night. Did Xiao Jingan ask to meet her?
âItâs this girl whoâs shameless. She took the initiative to come to him and belittled herself. She even blames others for looking down on her?
âWerenât you attempting to commit suicide just now?â Old Madam Yan snorted lightly. âAfter doing such a shameful thing, why are you talking about innocence and purity now?â
Duan Linbai was speechless. âSheâs just a whore, yet she still wants to set up a memorial arch.â
Yan Zhihuan was angry and wanted to refute. But when she saw that it was Duan Linbai, she forcefully suppressed her anger.
âWhy are you looking at him? What he said is reasonable. If you had known that this would happen, why did you throw yourself at him? Youâre shameless yourself, yet you still want a status now?â Old Madam Yan thought that after last nightâs reprimand, Yan Zhihuan had already realized her mistake and would behave for a while.
She hadnât expected them to cause a ruckus at the Yan residence the next day.
âHow am I going to seek justice for you? Should I just follow what you say and not distinguish between right and wrong and use this to threaten the Xiao family into accepting you?
âYouâre both shameless and greedy!
âI originally thought that the three of you would suffer living alone with only each other, so I took care of you. Lele is married, and Yan Zhihuan has also gone to university. I donât owe your family anythingâ¦â
Hearing this, Zhang Suqiu instantly became anxious.
âOld Madam, you canât say that. Youâve taken care of our family for so long, but Lele and Huanhuan havenât had the time to be filial to you!â
âI welcome Lele here. As for the filial piety of you two, I donât have the fortune to enjoy it.â Old Madam Yan snorted lightly.
âOld Madam, I was just anxious, so I wanted to ask you for an explanation. Iâm just a woman. I really donât know what to doâ¦â Zhang Suqiu reached out to hug her leg.
Old Madam Yan suddenly raised her leg and kicked her away.
âAll these years, Iâve seen everything youâve done, and Iâve also been tolerating you time and time again. Take the last time you dragged Yan Zhihuan to our house to apologizeâ¦
âDid you really come here to apologize, or were you deliberately forcing Aiyun and Wanwan to forgive you and your daughter?
âThere has to be a limit to moral kidnapping. Qiyun and Wanwan just entered the Yan family, so I gave you some face. I didnât expose you at the time, but that doesnât mean this matter is over.â
Zhang Suqiuâs thoughts were nothing in front of Old Madam Yan.
âIâm notâ¦â Zhang Suqiuâs face paled. She thought that she was very smart and that no one could tell.
âYou must have been gossiping in front of those relatives behind their backs. You even said that Qiyun and Wanwan were taking advantage of their position to bully your daughter? You think youâre in the right, so youâre being unreasonable, huh?â
âAbsolutely not!â Zhang Suqiu immediately denied.
âI wanted to wait to settle the score with you after they got married, but you ran to me yourself. Donât blame me for not giving you face then.â
Old Madam Yan had the ability to manage the Yan family. She was usually amiable, and she naturally had her own set of principles when she spoke and did things.
âYou married into our Yan family, and our family has never treated you harshly. I canât make a decision on this matter. You can publicize the photos if you want. If anyone asks, I only have one sentenceâ¦â
She paused for a few seconds.
âEverything you do has nothing to do with our Yan family!â
âOld Madamâ¦â Zhang Suqiu was anxious.
âTake Yan Zhihuan and get out now!â There were still guests at home, and she had lost all her face. How could Old Madam Yan tolerate them pretending to commit suicide in her house?
âGrandma.â Yan Zhile also stood up.
âOur door will open for you at any time. Iâm also inviting you to your uncleâs wedding. As for your mother and sister, if you plead for leniency, you can go out with them!â
Yan Zhileâs eyes were red, and she didnât say anything else.
Initially, she had repeatedly stopped them from coming over, and there had also been a dispute over this.
âGrandmaââ Just as Yan Zhihuan was about to speak, she was frightened by Old Madam Yanâs cold gaze.
âIf you want to talk to the Xiao family, go out and talk. Our house isnât a place for you to be unreasonable and act shamelessly.
âIâm old, and my eyes are already bad. If you dirty my eyes with these things again, donât blame me for not taking into account our old feelings.
âGet lost if you want to be shameless. Donât force me to get people to throw you out!â
Old Madam Yan reprimanded.
Zhang Suqiu and her daughter didnât dare to speak anymore and got up from the floor.
âTake all this trash away!â Old Madam Yan pointed at the photos on the floor.
Zhang Suqiu could only bite the bullet and pick up the photos one by one. She had still been very firm when she threw the photos just now, but now she had to kneel down and pick them up. How embarrassing.
The two of them held each other and walked out.
âOld Madam, Iâll take my leave too. Sorry to disturb you.â Mrs. Xiao couldnât sit still anymore.
She still had to have a good talk with this mother and daughter.
After the three of them left, Old Madam Yan heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the embarrassed person standing at the side. âLele, help me upstairs to rest.â
Yan Zhile hurriedly ran over and helped her upstairs.
***
After the show ended, Song Fengwan and the others went out.
Yan Wangchuan decided to go hiking. It would take an hour and a half to drive there, and there were two cars in total.
Fu Chen drove one car, and Song Fengwan was the only other person sitting inside it.
Meanwhile, Duan Linbai had been kicked into Yan Wangchuanâs car by Fu Chen and was sitting in the front passenger seat with Yan Shaochen. This made him feel extremely aggrieved. He even had to smile and put on an act in front of Qiao Aiyun, saying that he admired Yan Wangchuan and wanted to chat more with him, so he came here.
âYou admire me?â Yan Wangchuan and Qiao Aiyun were sitting at the back.
âYeah, I heard Fu Chen talk about you a long time ago. I especially admire you.â
âWhat did he say?â Yan Wangchuan raised his eyebrows.
Duan Linbai was stunned. âThird Fu said that youâre very impressive, that you design jewelry very well, and that youâre upright, frank, and a good man. He said that youâre upstanding, honest, resolute, and responsibleâ¦â
âThatâs it?â
Duan Linbai wanted to cry. He wasnât familiar with Yan Wangchuan, so how was he supposed to flatter him? He was also afraid of making a fool of himself while bootlicking.?This is so f*cking awkward. How can I keep saying this over-the-top praise?
Heâs your future father-in-law, but you want me to serve him?
Fu Chen, you bastard!
Are you trying to kill me?
At this moment, Fu Chen and Song Fengwan were sitting in the car behind them, enjoying their time together comfortably.
