Chapter 59: First Time Meeting Mother-In-Law, Third Master Leaves a Good Impression
While buying food, Song Fengwan took the opportunity to wash her face in the restaurant’s restroom to calm herself down.
When she went out, Fu Chen was standing at the door. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, looking extremely charming.
He heard the noise and turned to look at her. “Done buying food?”
Song Fengwan recalled her loss of composure just now and was a little embarrassed to look him in the eye. She nodded silently.
“I’ll send you back in.” Fu Chen took the plastic bag containing the takeout box from her hands very naturally.
“How did you know something happened to me?” Only then did Song Fengwan realize that Fu Chen had arrived way too quickly.
“After the incident with Cheng Tianyi last time, the police station registered me as your guardian, so they informed me of what happened to you.”
Song Fengwan nodded without any doubts.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the lounge where Qiao Aiyun was, they heard an argument inside.
“Ms. Qiao, this matter isn’t complicated in itself, and Miss Song is fine. It’s just a small conflict between young girls. You can’t be unreasonable just to vent your personal anger.”
“It’s not a complicated matter because nothing bad happened. But if something had happened…” Qiao Aiyun’s tone was stiff and domineering. “… I don’t think she’s capable of taking responsibility.”
“If this matter blows up, and her identity gets exposed, it won’t be good for you and Miss Song. I was also entrusted by someone. Please state any conditions you have.”
Qiao Aiyun sneered. “It’s not like my identity is the shameful one. Why should I be afraid?”
“This is Beijing, not Yuncheng. I have been entrusted by Mr. Fu to deal with this matter, and I represent the Fu family. With the Fu family having a hand in this, no one would dare to take this case. Ms. Qiao, you are also a smart person…” The man smiled politely and hypocritically. Seeing that soft tactics weren’t working, he started using hard tactics on her.
“Are you threatening me?”
“How would I dare? It’s just…” Before the man could finish his sentence, the door of the lounge suddenly opened. Qiao Aiyun and the lawyer were the only ones here.
When the lawyer saw Fu Chen, he was scared out of his wits.
“Mom.” Song Fengwan hurriedly walked in. “What’s happening?”
“Th-Third Master…” The lawyer’s lips were trembling, and his fingers were shaking so much that he couldn’t even hold his briefcase.
Fu Chen wanted to use this opportunity to show off in front of Qiao Aiyun and leave a good impression on her. But as soon as he entered, he heard someone being outrageous in the name of the Fu family.
His expression was normal, but his eyes were cold and sharp like tempered blades.
His gaze was like a scalpel falling on the lawyer, wanting to kill him.
“As a lawyer, you’re threatening the victim in the police station. You’re quite bold, aren’t you?”
The lawyer’s legs went weak, and his mind went blank.
“You’re representing the Fu family? Whose influence and authority is so great…” His tone was gentle and slow yet also sharp.
“Third Master…” The lawyer was tongue-tied, no longer as eloquent as just now.
“Are you mute? Third Master is asking you a question. Who asked you to come here?” When Shi Fang saw him stammering, he wished that he could go up and kick him a few times.?Damn it. If Third Master gets in a bad mood because this person hinders him from trying to please his future mother-in-law, he might implicate the innocent!
“It’s Young Master Yuxiu.” The lawyer’s teeth were chattering.
Fu Chen frowned, obviously angry. “Go back and tell him that he has no say in the Fu family!”
“Yes.” The lawyer’s entire body was numb.
“Even after being beaten till he’s hospitalized, he still wants to play a hero. Tell him for me that since Song Fengwan is staying at my place, I’m in charge of her safety. That Jiang Fengya brought it on herself.
“I’m the one who wants to do this to her. Let him come find me if he has the ability!”
The lawyer’s heart hammered violently in fright. How could he have known that Song Fengwan was involved with Fu Chen? He was extremely frightened.
“What are you waiting for? Get lost.” Shi Fang snorted coldly.?This blind fool, he really dares to take on any old case without even inquiring clearly.
The lawyer dashed out with a pale face.
Fu Chen turned to look at Qiao Aiyun. “Aunt Yun, I’m sorry. It’s my Fu family’s fault for not teaching him well.” Fu Chen’s attitude was sincere, neither humble nor overbearing. He also didn’t have the harsh tone he used when talking to the lawyer.
“Third Master, you’re being too polite. We’re of the same generation. It’s too much for you to call me Aunt Yun. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you.” Qiao Aiyun knew that Song Fengwan was being taken care of by Fu Chen in the capital, so she didn’t dare to accept his apology.
Moreover, this matter had nothing to do with him. And his interference saved her a lot of trouble, so Qiao Aiyun was already very grateful to him.
Beijing was a complex place. If she didn’t have any connections, she would really not be able to do anything.
She thought that her lawyer was the one who came, but she didn’t expect that…
“Although we’re considered to be of the same generation, you are older than me, so I should still be respectful to you.”
“The incident last time was already quite troublesome for you. I didn’t expect that this time…” Qiao Aiyun was still very polite to him.
“It’s my duty. Wanwan is staying at my place, and this matter concerns her, so naturally I should be responsible for it. You don’t have to be polite. She bought you some food, so you should eat it first. I’ll deal with the rest,” Fu Chen said and left first.
He very considerately gave the mother and daughter some space for privacy.
After Fu Chen left, Song Fengwan took out the takeout box. “Mom, hurry and eat it while it’s still hot.”
“Your father has really put in a lot of effort for this girl. Hah—” Qiao Aiyun smiled bitterly.
Song Fengwan’s fingers opening the takeout box paused. “Are you saying that lawyer…”
“If Jiang Fengya could contact Fu Yuxiu, why would she stop you at the school gates? Someone obviously leaked the news to Fu Yuxiu, so he got a lawyer to intervene. Who else would be able to inform him?
“He’s trying to see if Fu Yuxiu will make a move to test his sincerity toward Jiang Fengya and use the Fu family to suppress me at the same time. He really is…
“… absolutely scheming!”
Song Fengwan calmly opened the takeout box and handed her mother a pair of chopsticks. “Mom, you should eat.”
“Third Master is unexpectedly nice. Everyone says that he’s kind on the outside but ruthless on the inside, but I think he’s a pretty good person. He doesn’t put on any airs and is even so polite to me. Are you used to living with him?”
Qiao Aiyun took the chopsticks and stirred the rice and sidedishes. Her mouth was sour, and she had no appetite.
“He treats me very well. After school at night, he always has someone prepare supper for me, and he even specially set up a room for me to use as an art studio.” Song Fengwan didn’t want her mother to worry, so she naturally chose to say the good things.
“I heard from Xiyan that Old Master Fu arranged for you to stay with Third Master, and I was quite worried. After all, he’s a man and isn’t married. I’ve always felt that it’s not very safe…”
“Third Master is a good person.” Song Fengwan squinted and smiled.
When she thought about it carefully, she realized that after living with Fu Chen for so long, he had a good daily routine and never hung out at night. She had never seen him drink, smoke, or bring any women home.
His private life was so clean that it was outrageous.
However, as a man used to using an ‘elderly machine’ and bringing his own thermos around, he really didn’t look like a modern person.
“It seems I’ve been worried for nothing.” Seeing that Song Fengwan was doing well, Qiao Aiyun felt much more relieved. “I’ll treat him to a meal later. I have to thank him properly for taking care of you. I’ve also troubled him a lot this time.”
Fu Chen got Shi Fang to handle the matter while he leaned against the door. He hadn’t gone far, and hearing Song Fengwan complimenting him, his lips curled up subconsciously.?I didn’t dote on this girl in vain.
***
At this moment, Fu Yuxiu was still recuperating in the hospital.
That night, after Song Fengwan and Fu Chen had left, Old Master Fu couldn’t stand it and smacked him a few more times. He was directly beaten to the point of having to be hospitalized and was ordered to be grounded. There were people watching over him, and he didn’t dare to contact Jiang Fengya privately. He wanted to wait for his family members’ anger to subside before making plans again, but he didn’t expect Jiang Fengya to be in trouble.
How could he care so much after knowing that she was in trouble? He immediately found a lawyer to go and help her…
… And after waiting for some time, the only news he got was Fu Chen’s threatening warning.
He was so frightened that he almost rolled off of the bed.
What kind of dogshit luck does Song Fengwan have to make Third Uncle help her time and time again?
He had never been a busybody. He had never even visited his nephew, who had been beaten up until being hospitalized. Yet he actually went to the police station personally for Song Fengwan?
