Chapter 279: Third Master’s Birth, There Are Traps Everywhere

Chapter 279: Third Master’s Birth, There Are Traps Everywhere

Second Master Fu? Song Fengwan’s lips twitched. She had met him a few times before. After all, she and Fu Yuxiu had been engaged in the past. He looked very refined and scholarly, completely different from Sun Qionghua’s domineering aura.

But how could someone who could dominate the business world freely be as simple as he looked?

It was said that there was no honest businessman. In the business world, one couldn’t accomplish business deals with a good temper. She had heard Song Jingren describe Fu Zhongli before.

His methods were unique, and he was the type of person who could reduce a ship to ashes while chatting with a smile.

When she was still engaged to Fu Yuxiu, she had gone to their house for a few meals, and he had treated her quite well.

She wasn’t someone who liked to stand in the limelight. Whenever there were gatherings in Yuncheng, she would always sit in a corner. Fu Zhongli had even specially come over to chat with her once and encourage her to make more friends.

In Song Fengwan’s heart, he and Sun Qionghua were not compatible at all. When they stood together, she simply felt that something was amiss. She didn’t know why they became husband and wife.

“You’re saying Second Uncle Fu…” Song Fengwan bit her lip.

Qiao Aiyun didn’t have a good impression of their family either, and it would be difficult for her to ask Fu Zhongli for help.

Song Fengwan didn’t have a good impression of Fu Yuxiu and Sun Qionghua to begin with, so she automatically ignored Fu Zhongli. When Qian Jiang mentioned him, she weighed the pros and cons in her heart. He was indeed the best choice to handle this matter.

“Their entire family has gone overseas. Second Uncle Fu hasn’t been in Yuncheng for the past two years. Where are we going to find him?” Fu Zhongli’s business was overseas, so he rarely appeared in Yuncheng.

Qian Jiang stood at the side without saying anything.

In fact, Fu Zhongli was on a plane back to Yuncheng at the moment.

He held a copy of the Analects of Confucius and casually flipped a page. He glanced at the person beside him. “I’m going back to Yuncheng to settle some matters. Why are you following me?”

“Mom said that your marital life hasn’t been going well recently. She was afraid that you would get too depressed if you went back alone, so she asked me to come and keep an eye on you.” Fu Chen casually flipped through a copy of the Samghārama Classics.

Fu Zhongli snorted lightly and raised his hand to support the rimless glasses on his nose bridge. “Afraid that I’ll get too depressed?”

“I heard that you wooed Second Sister-in-Law quite fiercely back then.” Fu Chen tilted his head and looked at him.

“She wasn’t like this back then. She was gentle and generous when she was young.” Fu Zhongli smiled helplessly. “Perhaps I never saw through her and didn’t know what she wanted. During the time I was home, none of you mentioned this matter. Were you afraid that I would feel upset? I’m not a child.”

“We know that you’re not a child and that you know your limits, so the family doesn’t dare to mention too much. You’ll have to deal with yours and Second Sister-in-Law’s matters yourself in the end.” Fu Chen closed the scripture.

“Actually, Dad and Mom have always been worried about you. You’re not young anymore, so it’s not convenient for them to interfere too much either.

“I hope you can settle this matter properly and let Dad and Mom feel relieved.”

Fu Zhongli looked at Fu Chen, feeling somewhat helpless.

In any case, he was more than twenty years older than him, yet he was being lectured by a child?

Actually, after Fu Wan, Old Madam Fu had also given birth to a child before, but she hadn’t lived for long. She had died before she was even one year old. This incident had dealt a huge blow to her, and she had even been depressed for a while. Then she had gotten pregnant again, and it had also been because of her low spirits that she had two miscarriages.

Back when their mother was pregnant and had a child, the three of them were not young anymore, so their parents naturally had to seek their opinion.

They knew very well that Old Madam Fu had a knot in her heart.

So when she raised the topic about wanting another child again, the siblings didn’t object.

Considering that she was already so old, they felt that their mother had to be joking. How could she still be pregnant in her fifties?

At the dining table, Old Madam Fu said, “Does this mean that none of you siblings object?”

They all thought that it was impossible. If the old couple wanted to get all excited, they could just let them be happy. What could they do at their age anyway? This had to have come about on a whim.

“We don’t have any objections.” It was Fu Wan who represented the three of them.

Then Old Madam Fu threw out a bomb straight away.

“I’m already pregnant. Congratulations on getting a younger brother or sister soon.”

The faces of the three of them instantly turned ashen.

Then the three of them were dumbfounded. At the time, the eldest sister-in-law of the Fu family was still hugging Fu Sinian, and she was completely dumbfounded. She didn’t expect that after marrying into the Fu family, a brother-in-law even younger than her son would pop up.

Then everyone cast their gazes at Old Master Fu.

The old man coughed twice. “What are you looking at? Can’t we have a child?”

Everyone was speechless. You’re already getting on in years. How can you still…?

You’re really hale and hearty despite your age.

These two people had conspired to dig a trap for them. As juniors, how could they dare have any objections? They could only watch as Old Madam Fu’s stomach grew bigger day by day.

This matter spread like wildfire in the compound. Everyone said that Old Master Fu was full of energy, causing the three siblings not to dare go out to meet anyone for a month or two.

When Fu Chen was born, the Fu family members were all present. He was still very cute when he was young, but the older he grew, the more his temper and natural disposition resembled Old Master Fu’s. He was usually quiet in normal times.

But he would never go easy on others when he made a move.

Fu Wan was the only one who could control him because she was bad-tempered. He and his eldest brother had suffered a lot of hidden losses at his hands.

…

Fu Zhongli thought of those things Fu Chen had done when he was young and couldn’t help laughing softly.

Fu Chen turned his head to look at him. There’s so much going on at home, yet he can still laugh? Did he become stupid from being overstimulated?

“When are you returning overseas? After all, Second Sister-in-Law and Yuxiu are still abroad.” Fu Chen lifted his eyelids and looked at him.

“I’m getting on in years, so I don’t really want to keep going overseas. I want to move my business to China and be closer to Dad and Mom. I haven’t been able to accompany them all these years. It’s been hard on you.”

In fact, Fu Zhongli was quite glad to have a younger brother like Fu Chen sometimes. Aside from Fu Chen, the three other siblings were all overseas or in other parts of the country and couldn’t take care of the two elders.

“What do you plan to do about your relationship with Second Sister-in-Law? Will it come to the end?” Fu Chen asked.

Fu Zhongli closed the book and remained silent for a long time.

The flight ran behind schedule and only arrived at Yuncheng at noon.

Fu Chen got out of the plane and turned on his phone. Song Fengwan’s message greeted him.

She hadn’t mentioned the loan sharks, but Qian Jiang had reported it once a few days ago because this group of people had stalked Song Fengwan at the school gates.

Fu Chen had already told Qian Jiang at the time.

[If they dare to touch Wanwan, it’s fine to cripple them directly.]

But he hadn’t expected this group to be so despicable. They had even tried to extort Qiao Aiyun by throwing themselves in front of her car and faking injuries.

While waiting for their luggage, Fu Chen called Song Fengwan.

Song Fengwan and the others had long left the police station. Qiao Aiyun’s car had been temporarily detained.

It was noon, and they were having lunch in a restaurant. They hadn’t found a suitable middleman and still had to deal with the matter. So after lunch, they would go to the hospital.

That man was crying and making a scene inside. It was said that even his family members had gone there. He was obviously trying to extort them.

“Hello, Third Brother.” Song Fengwan carried her phone and walked toward an empty area. “Why couldn’t I get through to your phone the whole time?”

“I was busy.”

It was almost Valentine’s Day, so Fu Chen had wanted to keep a low profile and come over to give her a surprise. Logically speaking, Song Fengwan usually had her morning self-study at six, so she shouldn’t have had time to contact him at all. Fu Chen had never thought that something like this would happen before he boarded the plane.

“Something happened in my family.”

“I roughly know what’s going on. What’s the situation now?” Fu Chen rarely had dealings with these kinds of shameless hooligans too.

“Right now, it’s mainly because someone’s trying to extort us and causing trouble in the hospital. That group of people is using this as a pretext to make a fuss and demand money.” Song Fengwan sighed. While on the phone, she still had to keep an eye out for fear of being discovered.

“Have you come up with a solution?”

“There is one, but…”

“Tell me.”

Song Fengwan gritted her teeth. “They said to find someone with local prestige to mediate. We want to ask Second Uncle Fu for help, but it should be very difficult to contact him. Moreover, given the current situation, he won’t be able to rush back in time either. Why don’t you ask him if he has any friends in Yuncheng who can help?”

“Second Uncle Fu?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

“Yeah.”

“This person will be your second elder brother in the future.”

Fu Chen was unhappy. When she called Fu Zhongli Second Uncle, it seemed to forcibly pull their seniority apart.

Song Fengwan was instantly speechless. Why is his concern so strange at such a critical moment?

At the airport…

Fu Zhongli had already retrieved his luggage. Seeing Fu Chen on the phone, he didn’t rush him and just waited quietly.

“Second Master, why don’t you find a place to sit for a while?” Shi Fang smiled.

“Is Third Brother in a relationship?” Fu Zhongli raised his eyebrows.

Shi Fang’s smile froze. “N-no…” Does he have to be so sharp?

Fu Zhongli just looked at him, and Shi Fang smiled stiffly. F*ck, don’t look at me like that. I’m under a lot of pressure.

When Fu Chen returned, before Fu Zhongli could speak, a certain someone beamed at him and called out, “Second Brother!”

Fu Zhongli frowned, and his heart skipped a beat. He’s definitely up to no good with such pretentiousness.
