Chapter 242: The Domineering and Fierce Big Sister Fu
Old Fu residence…
Shen Jinye jumped up from his chair and called out, “Mom!”
Song Fengwan’s heart skipped a beat.?Is this person the legendary Eldest Lady Fu?
In Fu Chen’s generation, the Fu family had three sons and one daughter. There was only one girl, and she had two older brothers. So naturally, she was very doted on, but she was also notorious for being arrogant and willful.
People thought that after getting married and having a child, she might control her temper a little more. But little did they expect that because her husband doted on her, she instead became more and more headstrong.
She looked a lot like Fu Chen. Her eyes were gentle, and she had the gentle aura of a southern woman. But her every move exuded the magnanimous and straightforward aura of a northerner, and she was also very direct with her words.
The man behind her looked to be in his forties. He was wearing a fitting formal suit and a pair of glasses. Even at this moment, he was still a very handsome uncle with a strong scholarly aura.
He must have been a very handsome scholar when he was young.
“Ah Wan, Dongwen, why are you two back? You didn’t tell me in advance either.” Old Madam Fu only had this one daughter. When she got married and left for Jinling back then, Old Madam Fu had cried for many days and didn’t sleep well for more than half a year.
“It was a last-minute decision.” Fu Chen’s sister’s first name was just the single word ‘Wan’, meaning ‘wonderful’.
“I’ve been talking about you two with your father.” Old Madam Fu held her daughter’s hand, her eyes slightly red. “Dongwen, quickly come in and sit.”
“Thank you, Mom.” Shen Dongwen put the luggage aside and greeted Old Master Fu. “Dad.”
“Oh.” Old Master Fu snorted lightly and looked away, seemingly unwilling to bother with him.
“Why didn’t you call when you came back? I could’ve gotten Sinian or Third Son to pick you up. Did you two walk in from the main entrance?”
The two of them usually took a plane when they returned to the capital. If no one picked them up, they would take a taxi to the entrance of the compound and then walk in while dragging their luggage.
“We just took a breather along the way. Sitting in a taxi bored me so much that I felt like vomiting.”
“Dad, Mom, take a seat.” Shen Jingye hurriedly got up, making Song Fengwan feel embarrassed to sit as well.
“Aunt, Uncle.” Fu Sinian also stood up and gave his seat to them.
“Alright, all of you should sit down too.” Fu Wan helped her mother sit down before turning her head to look at Sun Qionghua, who had an embarrassed expression on her face. “I was listening by the door for a while just now. Second Sister-in-Law, you’re really so imposing now. You’re venting your anger at my parents’ place?”
“Ah Wan…” Sun Qionghua was furious. She had never expected Fu Wan to return home at this time.
Shen Dongwen was an only child, and Fu Wan was the only daughter in the Fu family. The two families had agreed to take turns celebrating Lunar New Year with them, and it just happened to be their turn to return to the Fu family this year.
“I’ve also heard about the Sun family’s matter. Fu Chen made it very clear just now that he has already given you enough face.”
Fu Wan wasn’t polite to her at all.
She doted on Fu Chen a lot, and it could be said that she had brought Fu Chen up since he was a baby.
“Isn’t it Sun Rui’s fault that this matter can’t be suppressed? She did those despicable things herself, yet she still wants to taint my brother’s reputation?”
Song Fengwan was stunned.?Taint Third Brother’s reputation?
This big sister’s choice of words is tricky too.
“Everyone knows how she feels about Fu Chen. I’ve also talked to you in private and asked you to restrain this niece of yours, but you didn’t listen. Now that a disaster has happened, you want my brother to clean up after your Sun family?
“There’s no such logic.
“The Sun family and our Fu family are indeed in-laws. If your family really encounters difficulties yet Fu Chen makes things worse, as his elder sister, I will be the first to settle scores with him. But if you are helping the wicked do evil…” Fu Wan chuckled. “Our Fu family can’t afford to lose face like this.”
Sun Qionghua was a little afraid of this sister-in-law. Fu Wan was the apple of the Fu family’s eye, and she had always tried to please her. But Fu Wan had never once gotten close to her.
She was arrogant and had never restrained herself even after getting married.
Her husband’s family pampered her, so she was absolutely unbridled.
“I just think that since Little Rui has learned her lesson, isn’t it time to stop?” Sun Qionghua knew that she wouldn’t gain the slightest benefit from coming here tonight, so her tone softened a bit.
“Fu Chen, are you still targeting Sun Rui?” Fu Wan tilted her head and looked at her younger brother.
“I never did.” Fu Chen’s words were direct.
“Never? Fu Chen, you have to speak responsibly.” Sun Qionghua was surprised.
Fu Chen looked at her from the corner of his eye. “Second Sister-in-Law, I’m usually extremely busy. How could I have so much free time to waste on her?”
“In that case, it’s because your Sun family doesn’t have the ability to calm the storm. Who can you blame?” Fu Wan shrugged.
Sun Qionghua chuckled softly. “… In any case, I won’t be able to gain anything today. You’ve always doted on Fu Chen and Sinian, so you will naturally side with him.”
Her words completely angered Fu Wan.
She sneered coldly. “Second Sister-in-Law, don’t speak without your conscience. Haven’t I treated Yuxiu well all these years? Anything that Sinian has, Yuxiu will also have. They have such a big age gap, so I’ve supported Yuxiu on many things. I’m being biased toward Sinian?
“If you can give me an example and say that I’m biased toward Sinian, I’ll immediately apologize to you! But you can’t compare him to Fu Chen because he’s my biological brother!
“If you’re talking to me like that, then let me have a good talk with you. Because of Yuxiu and that girl, how much face has our Fu family lost?
“Even an illegitimate daughter who can’t be shown in public cropped up. Is it because you, his mother, neglected to discipline him that he went against the promise and broke the engagement, causing our Fu family to be disloyal and unrighteous?!”
Standing obediently at the side, Song Fengwan was stunned and unintentionally glanced at Fu Chen. Their eyes met…
Song Fengwan:?Your sister is so impressive.
Fu Chen:?She’s alright.
Fu Wan was a tough nut to crack since she was young, not to mention that she had been pampered by her husband for so many years. She couldn’t stand this annoyance.
…
This was the first time Sun Qionghua confronted her, and she was rendered speechless.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Regarding how you educated Yuxiu, my mom and I have hinted and mentioned it to you many times. How much of it did you actually listen to? We know that you don’t like to lose face, so there were some things we took care not to overdo it on.
“Previously, your son caused such a big commotion and even brought that illegitimate daughter to the compound to see my mom. And as his mother, where were you?
“Our Fu family was utterly embarrassed. But as your sister-in-law, have I ever said anything about you? Or did I call you to question you?
“Even after this matter disgraced our family’s reputation, did my parents get angry at you?”
Sun Qionghua hadn’t expected Fu Wan to mention Fu Yuxiu. She was so embarrassed that she didn’t dare to face anyone. “Never.”
“This matter is caused by your Sun family. At a time like this, stopping losses in time and educating the children should be the most important thing. Yet you came to my parents’ place and behaved atrociously?
“Second Sister-in-Law, who are you venting your anger at?”
Fu Wan was very domineering, and she spoke with reason and facts, rendering Sun Qionghua speechless and causing her to be unable to refute.
The two elders of the Fu family didn’t say anything to stop her. There were some things that they had long wanted to say. But after all, Sun Qionghua was in her forties. If she was reprimanded by them, she would be embarrassed, so it wasn’t a bad thing to use Fu Wan’s mouth to say them out loud.
“I know you’ve always felt that Dad and Mom are biased and dote on Big Brother’s family and even Fu Chen and me. Human hearts are made of flesh. Your family is far away in Yuncheng. Usually, when Dad or Mom has a headache or fever, have you ever served them by their side?
“Your family is far away, so it’s understandable that you’re not able to attend to them.
“A few years ago, my mom wasn’t feeling well, and even Sinian served her by her side for a long time. How many times have you come back to visit her?” Fu Wan had also been suppressing her dissatisfaction in her heart. “On the other hand, when your niece had surgery to remove her appendix, you ran back here that night.”
The capital was too small, so how could things be kept secret?
When Sun Qionghua heard this, she looked increasingly embarrassed.
Song Fengwan had known Sun Qionghua for many years.She was a very strong person, yet she could actually be forced to this extent? This was enough to show how formidable Fu Wan was.
“Second Sister-in-Law, have you ever treated our Fu family as your own? Yet now, you’re discussing the problem of outsiders with my brother? Don’t you find it ridiculous yourself?”
Even Song Fengwan gasped at this.
This Eldest Lady Fu was too ruthless. Her every word pierced Sun Qionghua’s heart, and each strike was lethal.
She was dressed in black and stood there with eyes so cold that they seemed to have frost in them. When she looked at Sun Qionghua, her gaze was extremely cold, sharp, and merciless.
“I was too anxious.” Sun Qionghua finally gave in. If she confronted Fu Wan at this time, it would only make her feel even more embarrassed. “Mom, Dad, Third Brother, I’m sorry.”
Fu Chen remained silent, and only thought that his sister had returned just in time.?She’s the only one who can say some things clearly.
“Alright, that’s enough. It’s rare for Ah Wan and Dongwen to come back. Uncle Zhong, bring over two more sets of tableware.” Old Madam Fu sighed.
Humans were all biased. Fu Sinian and Fu Chen were practically brought up by her, so her feelings toward them were naturally different.
Her second son’s family had moved to another city more than a decade ago and rarely returned to the capital. She thought that she also doted on Fu Yuxiu and owed him nothing. But if she truly compared it, there were definitely still some differences.
After everyone sat down, Sun Qionghua served the wine and apologized to them one by one. She then said that she still had something to do and left early. No one asked her to stay, nor did anyone send her off.
…
After she left, the atmosphere at the dining table finally relaxed.
“Ah Wan, Qionghua is too strong-minded. You spoke too harshly. Now that you’ve fallen out with her, it will probably be difficult for you two to get along in the future.” Old Madam Fu sighed. Seeing her children in such a state, she definitely felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Fu Wan didn’t mind at all and casually picked up a crab. “I already gave her enough face just now. How was I speaking harshly?”
Song Fengwan looked up and glanced at her.?She almost drove Sun Qionghua crazy. Wasn’t it harsh enough?
She’s so domineering and formidable that even the domineering Sun Qionghua was suppressed by her, and she was so stunned that she couldn’t even defend herself. Her aura is so strong.
“What do you think?” Old Madam Fu’s tone was reprimanding, but her gaze was very gentle.
Fu Wan lowered her head and tugged at a crab leg. “It was Sun Rui who went overboard in the first place. How does she still have the cheek to look for Fu Chen?
“What was that about family and outsiders? Was she planning to morally kidnap us? What kind of place does she think this is?
“She has been in Yuncheng for a long time, so she’s used to being the mistress of the household. She probably forgot that she has no right to be the head of the Fu family. She came to the wrong place to behave atrociously!”
At the side, Shen Dongwen reached out his hand and snatched the crab away from her. “Crabs are cold in nature. You have to eat less.”
“I’ll eat just one.” Fu Wan frowned.
“Just one?”
“One! I haven’t eaten it in a long time.” Fu Wan loved eating crabs and hadn’t expected that the Fu family just happened to cook a few tonight.
Shen Dongwen didn’t say anything. He lowered his head and helped her to deshell the crab meat skillfully. It was obvious that it wasn’t the first time he did this. “You’re only allowed to eat one.”
“You’re so long-winded.”
Shen Jinye also liked to eat crab meat, but he wasn’t good at deshelling them. “Dad, I want to eat too.”
Shen Dongwen reached out and threw the remaining eight crab claws and two crab pincers from the bowl to him. “Eat it yourself.”
Shen Jinye’s face darkened.?My mom eats the meat, but I can only gnaw on the claws?
Song Fengwan lowered her head and smiled.?This couple is so amusing.
Fu Wan had already noticed Song Fengwan earlier, and her smile attracted her attention again. “You’re Old Master Qiao’s granddaughter, right? The last time I saw you, I think you were only two or three years old. Your hair was tied with a red string, and you looked very cute. And now, you’re already a big girl.”
Fu Wan wasn’t exactly an exceptionally beautiful person, but she had a good aura, and her movements were elegant and proper.
“You’re quite beautiful. No wonder my mom keeps saying that she wants you to marry the family. She originally wanted you to marry Sinian, but he’s too old for you. Otherwise, Yuxiu wouldn’t have gotten the chance and even caused you to suffer.”
Fu Sinian remained silent throughout, keeping a low profile to reduce his presence in case his aunt urged him to get married. Yet Fu Chen glared at him for no reason.
He was really getting targeted even doing nothing.
Fu Wan kept praising Song Fengwan, making her feel a little embarrassed.
Sitting at the side, Fu Chen actually picked up a bottle of Maotai wine and filled his cup…
Old Master Fu had specially left this for Shen Dongwen to drink. But in the end, it was all fed to Fu Chen’s stomach.
“Fu Chen, what’s the matter with you tonight? Why are you suddenly drinking alcohol?” Ever since he became a Buddhist, he hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol. Fu Wan was afraid he would drink too much, so she asked Fu Sinian to bring the alcohol over to her.
“I’m in a bad mood.” Fu Chen picked up his cup and downed the Maotai wine in one shot.
“Isn’t it just Sun Rui climbing into your bed and almost molesting you? Is there a need for this? You’re making yourself look like a chaste woman.”
Fu Chen almost choked to death on the alcohol. He wasn’t depressed about that matter at all.
Song Fengwan lowered her head and tried to hold back her laughter.?Third Brother is finally on the losing end?
At the side, Fu Sinian and Shen Jinye kept their heads lowered, trying very hard to hold back their laughter. Seeing Fu Chen being criticized, they only had two words in their hearts:?So satisfying.
