âI just received news that Jiang Fengya is pregnant. I heard that itâs the child of the Fu family.â
After Yan Shaochen finished speaking, Song Fengwan was dumbfounded. Qiao Aiyun was putting her son in the cradle and was also surprised. âShaochen, did you say Jiang Fengya?â
âYes, it hasnât spread online yet, but Itâll probably only take half a day.â
âJiang Fengya doesnât have any relatives, and she only has a special relationship with you.â
Although Qiao Aiyun and Song Jingren had divorced long ago, the scandal of the illegitimate daughter back then had caused a huge commotion. Everyone knew that they didnât get along.
In addition, the Qiao family and the Fu family had a close relationship. This matter might affect the relationship between the two families. After all, if the Fu family acknowledged Jiang Fengya, the Qiao family and even the Yan family would feel uncomfortableâ¦
âSo, those reporters chased after us immediately because they wanted to ask you what you thought about this matter.â Yan Shaochen shrugged.
They couldnât wait to see the matter blow up.
Actually, the reporters outside only cared about whether it would affect the friendship between the few families. But the Yan family was currently in a mess, and they were not only worried about this.
If Jiang Fengya really entered the Fu family, with Song Fengwan and Fu Chenâs relationship, wouldnât it be uncomfortable to meet her every other day?
âLogically speaking, the Fu family doesnât like this girl. How did she get pregnant?â Old Madam Yan immediately asked the crux of the problem.
Thatâs right. At this moment, Fu Zhongliâs family was in the capital. How did she get pregnant?
âWanwan, ask Fu Chen if this is true.â Qiao Aiyun looked at Song Fengwan.
Actually, she didnât care what would happen to Jiang Fengya in the future, whether she became rich and noble or a person above others. But Jiang Fengya was ruthless. If she really married into the Fu family, Song Fengwan might suffer a loss, so she had to pay attention to her.
âOkay, Iâll ask.â Only then did Song Fengwan notice that Fu Chen hadnât replied to the messages she had sent him before getting off the ship.
Something probably really happened to the Fu family.
***
Beijing, Fu residenceâ¦
When the Fu family received the news, it happened to be the time for Fu Wanâs family to come to the capital for the summer vacation. Because Shen Jinye was about to start school, the family of three came to the capital to spend a few days before school started.
At the time, Fu Wan was watching an opera performance with Old Madam Fu outside. Sheng Aiyi was also here, and the Jing family was the first to hear the news.
A Jing family member whispered something into Sheng Aiyiâs ear, and her expression immediately changed. She looked at the person beside her and hesitated.
âAiyi, your Pear Gardenâs new actor isnât bad.â Old Madam Fu didnât know what was going on and even drank tea while listening to the opera.
âOld Madam, I have something to tell you. Do you want to take a pill first?â
âWhat?â Old Madam Fuâs heart wasnât very good. She had had a problem once a few years ago, which had delayed Song Fengwan and Fu Yuxiuâs engagement back then. âYou look so serious.â
âIâll tell you. Donât get angry.â
âTell me. At my age, Iâve seen all kinds of storms.â
âFu Yuxiu got a girl pregnant. Reporters have already taken photos of it. Weâll probably see the news online soon.â
Old Madam Fuâs fingers holding the teacup froze. The surroundings were full of the sounds of Beijing opera. She smiled bitterly. âAiyi, you canât joke with me about this.â
âIâm not. Iâll get someone to send you back immediately. Iâm afraid that you wonât be able to get out when the reporters rush over later.â
âMom?â Fu Wan didnât hear what the two of them said in detail. She only saw her motherâs expression change drastically, then her mother got up and walked out. She immediately chased after her.
When the two of them returned home, apart from Fu Shinan and Fu Yuxiu, even Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi had rushed back to the old residence.
The atmosphere in the living room was solemn.
Old Master Fu was sitting in the middle of the sofa with his tobacco pipe in his hand. There was a rare coldness between his eyebrows.
âJinye, bring Huai Sheng upstairs,â Fu Chen reminded Shen Jinye. Because school was about to start, Huai Sheng was also in the old residence at this moment.
Knowing that something had happened, Huai Sheng didnât ask anything and obediently followed Shen Jinye upstairs.
âDoes everyone know?â Old Madam Fuâs face was covered in a layer of frost. âOur Fu family has never had such a scandal before. He got someone pregnant!
âOf all people, why is it Jiang Fengya again? Iâve seen that girl before. Sheâs ambitious and full of tricks. Iâve repeatedly reminded Yuxiu, but he didnât listen. Now, people have taken photos of the two of them going to the hospital for a pregnancy test. How should we deal with this matter?
âSecond Son, Qionghua? You two didnât know about this?â
Sun Qionghuaâs face was pale. She had just received the news. âMom, Iâm sorry. I didnât discipline Yuxiu well and embarrassed the Fu family.â
âWhen did this happen?â Old Master Fu wanted to smoke, but when he saw Yu Manxi, he put down his tobacco pipe angrily and endured it.
âI called Yuxiu. When he graduated, something happened to Sun Rui. I didnât want him to get involved in these things, so I gave him some money and let him go out to play with a few classmates. Jiang Fengya went to find him at that time. Calculating the time of her pregnancy, it should be thenâ¦â
Sun Qionghua gripped the corner of her shirt tightly, her nails broken.
Many things had happened recently, and she had almost forgotten about Jiang Fengya. She didnât expect this girl to suddenly appear and give her such a big blow.
âWhereâs Yuxiu?â Old Madam Fu asked.
âHe was surrounded by reporters when he left the hospital. Itâs close to his uncleâs house, and he and Jiang Fengya are both at the Sun residence,â Fu Zhongli replied.
âWhen he goes out to play, not everyone knows the time and place, right?â Old Master Fu asked.
âYuxiu isnât a famous person or celebrity. Would those reporters chase after him because they have nothing to do? What news value does he have?â
Old Master Fu was still clear-minded. âSomeone deliberately dug a hole. The reporters were all lying in wait for that stupid brat to jump in.â
âIâll look for someone to investigate.â Fu Zhongli frowned.
â¦
Just as everyone was guessing who was behind this trouble, Fu Chen, who had not spoken from the start, said, âActually, I can guess who it is.â
âThird Brother?â Fu Zhongli frowned. âWho is it?â
âSun Gongda.â
Sun Qionghuaâs fingers suddenly tightened. These simple words seemed to be like a pair of hands strangling her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe. âThird Brother, what did you say?â
Her voice trembled as she looked at Fu Chen in suspicion and shock.
âThere are traces of this matter. Before the Qingming Festival this year, the Sun family returned to China to pay respects to their ancestors. At the time, they invited Yuxiu over. When he returned, he looked flustered. Later, I found out that Jiang Fengya and Sun Rui had become friends. She happened to be invited that day. I donât know what exactly happened.
âBut I bumped into her again in Yuxiuâs apartmentâ¦â
Fu Chenâs expression was very serious. âAt the time, I chased Jiang Fengya away and warned Yuxiu to stay away from her. After that, they didnât seem to interact anymore, so I didnât mention it to you.
âJiang Fengya doesnât have the ability to know where Yuxiu travels. If Sun Gongda asked, that silly boy would probably have told him exactly which room he was staying in.
âMoreover, although Jiang Fengya and Sun Rui could become friends, she even entered Beijing University as an exchange student. Does Sun Rui have the ability to do this?â
Fu Chenâs words slowly shattered the fantasy in Sun Qionghuaâs heartâ¦
At this moment, Fu Sinian added, âI also remember something that happened during Qingming. He was acting suspiciously, like he had done something wrong. He reeked of alcohol and spent the night at the Sun residence. I think they already planned to do this back then, but she didnât get pregnant.â
Fu Chen and Fu Sinian were not people who would lie. Moreover, on the day of the Qingming Festival, the two elders of the Fu family were both present. He had indeed not returned all night, and he had reeked of alcohol. Thinking about it nowâ¦
The Sun family had probably planned it a long time ago.
âAlthough I donât know why Sun Gonda didnât make a move for so long, he definitely holds a grudge against us for what happened to Sun Rui,â Fu Chen explained. âHe has nothing to lose anymore.â
âBastard! Heâs Yuxiuâs uncle. How could he set up his nephew like this? Has his conscience been eaten by a dog?â Old Madam Fu was furious.
âMom, calm down.â Fu Wan hurriedly supported her mother.
âSecond Son, how do you plan to deal with this matter?â Old Master Fu looked at Fu Zhongli.
Before Fu Zhongli could speak, Sun Qionghua spoke first. âDad, I want to go back first. I want to ask him face to face.â
What Fu Chen said was very easy to prove. At this moment, Sun Qionghua wanted to completely give up her feelings for her maternal family.
âGet Zhongli to accompany you and bring Yuxiu back. Tell that girlâ¦â Old Master Fu said in a low voice. âFu Yuxiu can want the child, but our Fu family wonât acknowledge it. We canât afford to lose face!â
Fu Zhongli and Sun Qionghuaâs expressions changed.
Fu Chen rubbed the prayer beads in his handâ¦
What his father meant was: If Fu Yuxiu wanted the child, get lost from the Fu family.
His words were very light, but his attitude was very firm. He was obviously annoyed.
Jiang Fengya thought that because she had a child, she could enter the Fu family. She had probably miscalculated. His father hated being threatened the most in his life.
At this moment, Jiang Fengya was sitting in the living room of the Sun residence, looking frightened and undecided. Little did she know that she would have to face something even more formidable later.
