Chapter 93: Asking For It, Things That Are Beaten Up
When Song Fengwan heard that the Cheng family was here, her heart skipped a beat.
Only that night did she find out that Cheng Lan was Cheng Tianyi’s sister after Sun Qionghua arrived. Cheng Lan had sent someone to block her at the school gates before.
Although Cheng Tianyi’s matter was his own fault, Song Fengwan had indeed plotted against him. She was young and had never done something like this before, so she felt a little guilty and subconsciously looked at Fu Chen.
Their eyes met, and Fu Chen smiled at her.
The smile was a little unruly and had a hint of evilness.
Her ears red, Song Fengwan lowered her head and bit her pastry.
Seeing this, Duan Linbai shook his head speechlessly. The little white rabbit is white and pure, then put into a pot to stew…
***
At this moment, Cheng Guofu and Cheng Lan were waiting outside.
After the Song family’s filiation banquet, Cheng Lan had returned to the capital overnight. Without waiting for Cheng Guofu to reprimand her, she had already started to cry and complain.
“Dad, I was wrong. I couldn’t bear to see my brother being bullied and wanted to help him vent his anger. That’s why I did something stupid. I didn’t want to involve the Fu Family either.”
When Cheng Guofu received the news, he was so angry that his eyes were about to pop out. He wanted to teach her a lesson when she came back. But seeing her cry like this, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
“Is it true what Duan Linbai said, that Fu Chen already rejected you long ago?”
Cheng Lan nodded with reddened eyes.
“Why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter earlier? You’re really stupid!”
“Dad, I pursued Fu Chen for so long and was rejected by him. I had no face to say it. It’s too embarrassing.” She cried miserably.
“Isn’t it even more embarrassing now that that brat from the Duan family pointed it out in front of everyone?” Cheng Guofu was furious. But he also couldn’t bear to see her cry like this.
“What should we do now?” Cheng Lan was really panicking this time. Second Madam Fu would definitely not let her off easily.
“This is such a big matter, but you didn’t discuss it with me. And now that something has happened, I have to clean up your mess. Why did you involve the Fu family!”
“I…”
“We can only go and beg Elder Fu and Old Madam Fu now. We will go and wait at the compound tomorrow.”
…
The two of them went early in the morning. They came eight times throughout the day, but they couldn’t even get past the entrance. After dinner, they came to try their luck, but they didn’t expect to be let in.
Along the way, Cheng Guofu kept reminding, “Don’t find any excuses or reasons when we meet the Fu family. Apologize properly to them!”
“I know.” If she wanted Sun Qionghua to let her go, only the two elders of the Fu family would be able to help her.
The two of them arrived at the Fu family residence with bags of gifts.
The sky was very dark. The two of them had guilty consciences and didn’t notice Fu Chen’s car parked in the courtyard. When they entered the living room and saw him and Duan Linbai, Cheng Lan’s face turned deathly white.
The first person Cheng Guofu saw was Song Fengwan.
He hated her from the bottom of his heart. He had only seen photos of her, and this was the first time he saw her in person. She does look beautiful. No wonder my son was tempted by her to do something so foolish.
“Old Master Fu, Old Madam.” Cheng Guofu was big-boned, and his cheeks were full of meat when he smiled.
“Grandpa Fu, Grandma Fu, Third Master—” Cheng Lan greeted them one by one. When she looked at Duan Linbai, her heart trembled in fear. This person is a complete lunatic.
“You’ve been coming here since the morning. What’s the matter?” Old Madam Fu spoke first before Old Master Fu could say anything.
“It’s all because of Little Lan. She did something wrong and made Second Madam unhappy, so she specially came to apologize.”
“Oh, so you provoked Qionghua? Then you should go look for her. What are you doing here?” Old Madam Fu chuckled.
Cheng Guofu’s and Cheng Lan’s expressions changed slightly.
“Qionghua does have a bad temper, but she’s not someone who gets angry for no reason. Little Lan, what did you do to infuriate her? Tell me.” Old Madam Fu pretended that she didn’t know a thing about it.
“Grandma Fu, this…” Cheng Lan stammered. How am I supposed to bring this up? Moreover, with Fu Chen and Duan Linbai here, I can’t even hide it.
“The two of us rarely go out, so we don’t know what’s going on outside. Didn’t you come here to ask me to be a mediator? If you don’t tell me, how would I know what to do?” Old Madam Fu spoke with a Suzhou accent, and her smile was magnanimous and gentle.
Song Fengwan sat quietly at the side. Although no one in the Fu family said anything about what happened on the night of the filiation banquet, they definitely knew the inside story.
Yet Old Madam Fu still insisted that Cheng Lan tell the story herself. She’s not giving her any face at all.
“Old Madam, it’s actually like this…” Cheng Guofu wanted to explain but was immediately stopped.
“The person who did something wrong should be the one to speak!” Old Madam Fu chuckled lightly.
Cheng Lan trembled slightly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally opened her mouth with a lump in her throat and recounted how she had helped Jiang Fengya create hype.
“Oh, I see.” Old Madam Fu turned to look at Song Fengwan. “Wanwan, you know Tianyi? Why did you break his hands?”
The Cheng family was in the wrong in this matter, so Cheng Lan naturally avoided the main points and didn’t explain why.
Song Fengwan hesitated, not knowing how to say it.
“What else could have happened? He was lusting after her, and I caught him red-handed. I was the one who hit him.” Fu Chen’s voice was calm, and there was not a single hint of joy in it.
“Damn, Cheng Tianyi was really so daring. Thankfully, Third Fu encountered it. If something really happened…” Duan Linbai wasn’t afraid of adding fuel to the fire.
“Old Master Fu, Old Madam, there was a misunderstanding in this matter. Tianyi was muddled for a moment…” Cheng Guofu saw that the two elders didn’t look happy and immediately wanted to explain.
“You bastard!” Old Madam Fu berated, scaring both Cheng Guofu and Cheng Lan so much that their legs went weak. “How can there be a misunderstanding about this kind of thing?! And you still dare to say that it was an act of folly!
“Up until now, have you apologized to Wanwan?
“You have no remorse and even tried to take revenge on her. And you still dare to come find me! You have come to the wrong place!”
Old Madam Fu was so angry that she picked up the wood sculpture on the table and threw it at Cheng Lan.
The wood sculpture had sharp edges and corners. Even though she tried to dodge, it still brushed past her forehead.
Duan Linbai lowered his head, drank some water, and shook his legs. These two were asking for it. They’re just like metal in a blacksmith’s shop…
… things that are beaten up!
