When Song Fengwan arrived at the Jing residence, Fu Chen was slightly surprised. âI thought you werenât coming?â
âItâs baffling!â Song Fengwan shrugged. âShe was in a hurry to get me to go, and it seemed like the sky had collapsed. Later, she said that it was fine and told me not to go.
âI was almost at the hotel. I wanted to take a look at her before leaving, but she refused to let me go.
âIt seems like thereâs something I canât see. I could only come here.â
At this moment, Song Fengwan still felt confused and didnât know what Tang Jingci was doing
âYouâre just in time for dinner.â Fu Chen pulled her inside.
Yu Manxi was the one cooking at the Jing residence today. Jing Hanchuan was watching from the kitchen door with his arms crossed. Theyâre both daughters-in-law of the Fu family, but the difference between them is enormous.
Some people were born with clumsy hands. There was really no way to treat this thing.
âBig Sister Yu!â When Song Fengwan saw Yu Manxi, she shook off Fu Chenâs hand and rushed to the kitchen. âIâll help you.â
Hearing this, Yu Manxi almost let go of the knife. âJust help me watch the pot. Iâll get water for other things. Your hands are clean, so thereâs no need to dip them in water.â
âItâs okay. Iâll help you!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThereâs really no need!â
Jing Hanchuan took a few glances at the kitchen door before turning around and sitting on the sofa.
Seeing Yu Manxiâs firm attitude, Song Fengwan could only help her watch the clay pot boiling the soup. âHave you finished renovating your new house?â
âYes, the smell has been dissipating recently. We just need to add some furniture.â
âWhen are you taking your wedding photos?â
âNext week.â âThen, has your wedding venue been settled?â Song Fengwan still remembered what Fu Chen had said before. Something about Lingnan seemed difficult to settle.
âNot yet. Itâs still in progress.â
At the mention of this, Yu Manxi felt uneasy. She had even sent a message to that family earlier, but she hadnât received a reply for a long time. It was like a stone sinking into the sea.
âI heard that family is very fierce.â Song Fengwan lowered her voice. âThey even have a grudge against Sixth Master.â âYes, he smashed someoneâs head.â
âBoys are all very mischievous when theyâre young, so itâs normal for them to fight. When my cousin was young, he was a tyrant on the streets. He was also the kind of person who was a leader in school. He was very impressive, but he restrained his personality when he grew up,â Song Fengwan couldnât help complaining. âWhen I was young, it was normal for boys to fight each other.â
âIt wasnât boys fighting each other,â Yu Manxi corrected.
âHuh?â Song Fengwan was suspicious.
âThat family has a girl. Her head was injured. Her family was probably afraid of her face being damaged. Otherwise, why would they bring so many people to the Jing residence to demand an explanation?!â
âA girl?â
Song Fengwan was astonished and didnât react for a long time. She glanced at Jing Hanchuan, who was feeding his fish, from the corner of her eye. He fought with a girl. What kind of deep hatred is this?
âSinian said it. It shouldnât be fake,â Yu Manxi said firmly. âOtherwise, that family wouldnât have come knocking on his door aggressively. Itâs not good for a girl to have scars.â
Song Fengwan pursed her lips. Sixth Master was also very fierce when he was a child⦠But the girl who dared to fight with him is also formidable.
What happened to make them fight until someone bled?
Jing Hanchuanâs fingertips kept fiddling with the fish food on the porcelain plate without feeding them. His expression was slightly enlightened, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Yu Manxi had just cut the vegetables and poured the oil into the pan when her phone vibrated. She pulled up Jing Hanchuanâs number, but she didnât call him directly. Instead, she sent a message politely.
âSixth Master, please help me cook some vegetables. I have to answer a call.â
Among the people present, she knew that only Jing Hanchuan knew how to cook.
âIâll do it,â Song Fengwan volunteered.
The expressions of everyone in the house changed.
âLet me do it.â Jing Hanchuan immediately got
up.
Yu Manxi specially found a secluded place to answer the call. Soon, she said something to Fu Sinian, and the two of them went out temporarily.
âIf we come back too late, you guys should eat first.â After saying goodbye to everyone, the two of them left.
âWhy are they in such a hurry?â Duan Linbai frowned. Fu Chen held his bracelet between his fingers and guessed that it was most likely because of the wedding venue.

Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi arrived at a teahouse not far from the Jing residence. As soon as they entered, someone led them into a private room. There was only a middle-aged man sitting inside.
They should have brought some things with them, but there wasnât much time, and the other party was already waiting. The vicinity of the Jing residence was relatively desolate, and there was no mall, so they could only enter the private room empty-handed. Yu Manxi was extremely nervous.
âDonât be afraid,â Fu Sinian comforted. âNo matter how scary this family is, they wonât eat people.â
âMr. Fu, Mrs. Fu.â The man was quite polite to them.
