Chapter 450: Encircling Third Master

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment Qiao Wangbei said that he was going to find Fu Chen, Qiao Xiyan was a little hesitant.

He also wished he could slap this bastard to death. But with his father’s temper, he wouldn’t be able to gain the slightest advantage over Fu Chen by rushing over like this.

“What are you waiting for? Drive.” Qiao Wangbei suddenly thought of something. He rushed back into the house and picked up the carving knife on the table.

Qiao Xiyan hurriedly rushed in. “Dad, calm down.”

“Why do you want me to calm down...” Qiao Wangbei packed up his things. “As long as I think about how he’s been accompanying me these days all in order to kidnap your sister, I can’t calm down.”

“What happened?” Old Madam Fu was dumbfounded.

“Are you going out? Aren’t you going to eat breakfast?” Old Master Fu looked at Qiao Wangbei’s cold and serious expression in surprise.

At this moment, Qiao Wangbei couldn’t care about anything else. He packed up his things and ran out.

Qiao Xiyan was stunned. “Grandpa Fu, Grandma Fu, this...”

At this moment, he couldn’t even call Fu Chen Third Master anymore. He had already become his brother-in-law. How could he still call him Third Master?

“Fu Chen and Wanwan are together. My dad is going to his place to look for Wanwan...”

“Qiao Xiyan!” Qiao Wangbei was already outside. When he saw that Qiao Xiyan hadn’t come out, he even shouted.

Qiao Xiyan hurriedly ran out...

...leaving the two elders of the Fu family in a mess...

Old Madam Fu was holding a pair of chopsticks in her hand. “Old man, what did Xiyan say just now? Am I a little deaf?”

“He said that Third Son and Wanwan are together.” Old Master Fu had lived for many years, but this was the first time he felt slightly horrified.

“Uncle Zhong, did you hear that?” Old Madam Fu tightened her grip on her chopsticks, still in disbelief. She turned her neck stiffly.

Uncle Zhong just came back to his senses. “Young Master Qiao said that Third Master and Miss Song are together...”

At this moment, the sound of a car engine starting came from outside.

Old Master Fu slapped his thigh. “This brat! How could he and Wanwan...”

“Actually...” Old Madam Fu was instead cheerful. “Actually, it’s not bad. Wanwan is still our family’s daughter-in-law after going around in circles. You know that I’ve always liked her.”

“Uncle Zhong, go upstairs and get my ferule.”

“Old Master?” Uncle Zhong’s face turned green. “The ferule?”

“Hurry up! Get someone to prepare the car to go to Third Son’s place immediately!”

“Old Fu, what are you doing?!” When Old Madam Fu saw that he was going to take out the ferule, she knew that he was going to punish Fu Chen. “Isn’t Wanwan good? Although their ages are a little different, it’s not like they can’t be together.

“When Third Son was overseas back then, I asked you what if he wanted to bring a foreign wife back. You said it’s fine as long as he likes her!

“Don’t you like Wanwan too? What are you going to do with the ferule?”

“You...” Old Master Fu gritted his teeth in anger. “Didn’t Xiyan go to school to pick Wanwan up just now? He didn’t pick her up. Now that the Qiao father and son are rushing to Third Son’s place at this hour, the two of them are most likely still together. They must have spent the night together.

“What do you think the Qiao family will think? Wanwan is a girl after all, and the two of them are hiding it from us.

“Wangbei has a quick temper. Third Son kidnapped his niece to his bed, so how could he treat him nicely? He even brought his knife with him!

“If Third Son doesn’t shed a layer of skin this time, he probably won’t be able to escape the calamity.”

Old Madam Fu had been too happy just now and had completely forgotten about this matter. “Then now...”

“What else can we do? Hurry up and go take a look!”

“Should we call Third Son?” At the thought that her son would be beaten up, Old Madam Fu was anxious.

“He won’t be able to escape today. If you inform him now, will he still be able to run away with Wanwan? He’ll die either way. This brat is really bold! He actually hid it from us for so long!”

Uncle Zhong had already gone upstairs to get the ferule. Old Master Fu held the ferule and rushed out.

“Old Fu!” Old Madam Fu was so anxious that she slapped her thigh and hurriedly chased after him. “Then why did you bring this thing? If the Qiao family gets involved, don’t tell me you want to help them beat up our son?”

“Look at what you’re saying. If I don’t do it later, the Qiao family will beat him up even more ruthlessly. It’s better for me to go first.

“At the very least, we can keep this brat alive!

“How could this bastard keep hiding it from us?”

...

At this moment, the two Fu elders had already gotten into the car. Old Madam Fu bit her lip and urged the driver to catch up quickly to the Qiao family’s car. “Actually, their relationship is a little awkward. Perhaps they haven’t figured out how to talk to us yet.”

“They’ve already spent the night together. How could they have been dating for a day or two?

“Before my birthday, many people came to ask about Wanwan’s situation. At the time, this brat ran away with a scowl. Now, it seems that he was jealous and couldn’t vent!”

Old Madam Fu gradually calmed down. “Third Son swore to me last year that he would bring his wife back this year. Could it be that at that time, these two...”

Old Master Fu remained silent.

With the tip of the iceberg exposed, many things couldn’t be hidden anymore. There were clues to follow.

There were many signs of this happening, but no one had dared to think in that direction.

Old Master Fu tightened his grip on the ferule in his hand. “This brat is really...

“Since we can think of this, the Qiao family can definitely think of it too. Back then, Wanwan was only in her senior year of high school, yet he had already laid his hands on this little girl. This...”

Old Madam Fu could understand why the Qiao family was so irritable.

They had entrusted the young lady to their son to take care of her, and this was the trust between elders. But this brat took care of her on the bed?

Wasn’t he asking for a beating?!

“Although Wanwan is an adult now, she’s still a child in the hearts of her elders. If this had happened to Fu Wan back then, I would have broken that brat’s legs too.” Old Master Fu only had one daughter. Back then, when Fu Wan brought Shen Dongwen back to meet her parents, he had felt unhappy.

“The Qiao father and son are both hot-tempered. Third Son...” Old Madam Fu was impatient. “Drive faster. Hurry.”

“Old Madam, it’s already very fast. Young Master Qiao’s car is right in front of us. Don’t be anxious.” The driver pointed ahead.

It was currently rush hour for work, and the roads in the capital were very congested. The cars stopped every now and then. Young Master Qiao’s car was very good, but in the capital, it couldn’t speed up.

“Between them...” Old Madam Fu gradually calmed down. “Not many people know about this, right?”

“Linbai, Sinian, and Hanchuan definitely know. They’re with Third Son all day, so they definitely know!” Old Master Fu was an old fox after all, so he understood many things easily.

“Back then, when you wanted to introduce someone to Linbai, and Wanwan was at our house, his father even asked whether we should let Wanwan be with him. This brat looked like he had seen a ghost. Now it seems like... Hah!

“These two people really know how to act. Their pretense was flawless in front of us.”

Old Madam Fu sighed. “It’s not that they know how to pretend. It’s just that we didn’t think in that direction at all. No matter what, Third Son is her uncle...

“Say, what do you think will happen when Second Son’s family finds out about this?

“It’ll be so awkward to eat together at home in the future.”

Old Master Fu chuckled. “Weren’t you quite happy just now? Do you feel it’s awkward now?”

“Didn’t I think of this just now?” Old Madam Fu let out a long sigh. “Later, when you rush in front of the Qiao family to teach this kid a lesson, you have to be gentler. After all, he’s your son.”

“That’s for sure.” Old Master Fu rubbed the ferule in his hand. “I’ll fight for it...

“I’ll let him live.”

In another car...

Qiao Xiyan had been observing his father’s expression. It happened to be the morning rush hour in the capital, so he couldn’t speed up and could only stop and go frequently.

At this moment, there was a traffic jam on the road ahead. Qiao Xiyan touched his phone in his pocket.

“Xiyan, what are you doing?” Qiao Wangbei was completely furious at this moment. But he calmed down and carefully wiped the carving knife in his hand.

It was like a general sharpening his blade and about to rush to the battlefield.

“I want to check which roads are free from traffic jams.” Qiao Xiyan wanted to inform Song Fengwan early so that she could be prepared.

Today, even if Fu Chen was beaten to death by his father, he wouldn’t pity him. But Song Fengwan was his younger sister.

“There’s no need to check. Take your time.” Qiao Wangbei could only think that Fu Chen’s fawning and care for him these days were completely selfish, and it was difficult for him to calm down. “They probably won’t choose this time to go out.”

Qiao Xiyan had sent Song Fengwan breakfast and hangover medicine at seven in the morning to avoid the morning rush hour, and Fu Chen would be sending her back to the school at nine also in order to avoid the traffic jams during rush hour.

Coincidentally, the timing was completely right in between.

“Dad, it’s actually very normal for Wanwan to fall in love.”

“Do you think they just got together recently?” Qiao Wangbei wasn’t a fool. Things had already developed to this stage. “They probably got together last year.

“She was still a high school student at the time. Say, this fellow Fu Chen...

“How could he lay his hands on a child? And an underage student at that. He treats your aunt so well with ulterior motives.

“This brat is very bad!”

Qiao Xiyan didn’t say anything. He could only sigh at how bold these two people were. When he thought that he was Fu Yuxiu’s third uncle and that their relationship would be completely exposed in the future, he wondered what kind of uproar it would cause.

Yunjin Prime Manor...

After Song Fengwan accompanied Fu Chen to finish copying Buddhist scriptures, the two of them sat opposite each other and ate breakfast.

“I have lunch with my uncle and cousin. Let’s go watch a movie in the afternoon.” Song Fengwan was already planning their date.

“What other plans do you have?” Fu Chen looked at her and smiled dotingly.

“Let’s have a meal together. We haven’t eaten alone in a long time.”

“Okay.”

...

The two of them were eating breakfast leisurely, not knowing that Hu Xinyue and Miao Yating were about to die from anxiety. They couldn’t get through to Song Fengwan’s phone, and no one answered when they called Fu Chen.

Speaking of which, Fu Chen had always been using an old flip phone in the past. In order to use a couple’s phone with Song Fengwan, he had changed his phone. He didn’t use his phone much, and he usually contacted Hu Xinyue for Song Fengwan’s sake. Now that she was in front of him, he naturally wouldn’t pay too much attention to any messages.

He had left his phone in the small study to charge and didn’t bring it out.

Hu Xinyue was about to die from anxiety. What are these two people doing? We can’t even contact them at this critical moment.

After breakfast, they stayed home until after the morning rush hour. Fu Chen got up to go get his car key and phone. “Pack up. I’ll send you back.”

“I’ll go upstairs to get my phone. I still have to change when I go back to the school. I drank alcohol yesterday, and I still smell.”

At this moment, the warm winter sun was rising. The air in Beijing wasn’t very good, and the air was foggy. Everything was hazy. Song Fengwan took out her mask from her pocket and was about to put it on...

Fu Chen leaned over and pursed his lips.

“Third Brother...” Uncle Nian was still not far away. Song Fengwan reached out and pushed him.

“Just one kiss.” Fu Chen supported the back of her neck. Once they kissed, how could there be a problem of one or two kisses? He completely lost his sense of propriety and only hugged her tighter.

The two of them didn’t notice the sound of a car outside at all. Suddenly, they heard Fu Xinhan rush out of the room and bark outside. “Woof woof woof—” Only then did they regain their senses.

“Fu Xinhan, what’s wrong...” Song Fengwan turned to look at the door.

Qiao Wangbei and Qiao Xiyan had already reached the door, followed closely by the two Fu elders...

At this moment, the two of them were still hugging each other. In a daze, Song Fengwan only felt her body and mind shake violently, and her mind went blank.

Suddenly, her vision darkened. Fu Chen also noticed the person outside and was equally surprised. He knew that paper could never cover fire, but he didn’t expect to be discovered in such a manner. He looked at his parents, and Old Madam Fu reached out her hand to cover her face. He couldn’t describe how he felt.

He and Song Fengwan were still making out when the four of them rushed over. They were clearly here to ‘catch the adulterers’.

“Uncle, Cousin...” Song Fengwan’s voice was hoarse and trembling.

No one answered her. Her back stiffened, and her soul left her body.

“What are you two doing?” Qiao Wangbei suppressed his voice and stared at Fu Chen. It was one thing to know. But seeing the two of them being so intimate, it was another thunderclap.

His entire body was tense, and his chest was trembling.. His thin and cold face was so angry that it was white and blue, making him look exceptionally scary.
