Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master’s Wife-Chasing Strategy Chapter 212 - Third Master Plays Tricks Behind His Back and Gets Caught

Chapter 212: Third Master Plays Tricks Behind His Back and Gets Caught

Song Fengwan was drinking fruit juice with her head lowered, but Sun Rui was very enthusiastic toward her, making her feel overwhelmed.
After all, Sun Rui always used to be indifferent toward her before. But now that she was suddenly acting like this, it was so deliberate it was making her feel uncomfortable.
Actually, Sun Rui didn’t like Song Fengwan. She was born beautiful, especially her slender and attractive phoenix eyes. Song Fengwan was a well-known beauty in Yuncheng, but her family background wasn’t as good as Sun Rui’s.
So Sun Rui had always looked at her with some arrogance.
If she hadn’t heard from Fu Yuxiu that Song Fengwan was on good terms with Fu Chen, she wouldn’t have bothered to care about her. But she had to put on this act in front of Fu Chen.
“Third Master, this dish is quite good. Have a taste.” Sun Rui ate very carefully because she was afraid of smearing her lipstick, and when she spoke to Fu Chen, her tone was very coquettish.
Song Fengwan was also looking at him.
When no one was paying attention, she even winked at him, her small eyes shining brightly.
Fu Chen’s eyes deepened.
Is this girl deliberately watching a show?
She clearly knows that I’m very unhappy right now, yet she’s still making eyes at me. She’s really bold.
“Please excuse me for a bit.” Fu Chen ignored Sun Rui and stood up to leave.
Sun Rui seemed to want to chase after him, but Sun Qionghua reached out her hand to stop her. “Auntie?”
“Eat your meal properly!”
Not only hadn’t he helped them out when the Qiao family humiliated them just now, but he had even ignored her when she tried to speak to him. Sun Qionghua felt frustrated.
There were too many people who wanted to get married to the Fu family, so Sun Qionghua naturally wanted to get benefits for her own family too. But she also knew that Fu Chen didn’t like Sun Rui. Moreover, it wouldn’t be good if word got out that both the aunt and niece were married to brothers.
So although she had thoughts about it, she had never acted upon them. Moreover, Old Madam Fu had mentioned that Fu Chen would be bringing someone back this year, so perhaps he already had someone in mind. She naturally didn’t want to offend Fu Chen because of this and end up on bad terms with him.
This time, Sun Rui came without her permission, saying that she was here to see her off. But in fact, she was here for Fu Chen. This put Sun Qionghua in a difficult position, and she could only brace herself to matchmake them.
It was obvious that Fu Chen was angry from the way he acted just now, yet she still wanted to chase after him?
With Fu Chen’s temper, he would absolutely embarrass her. Sun Qionghua had already been embarrassed today. If she had to apologize to Fu Chen again because of Sun Rui, she would really want to vomit to death.
Did Sun Rui want to embarrass their Sun family even more?!
“But…” Sun Rui finally had a chance to be closer to Fu Chen, so she naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.
“I’m telling you to eat!” Sun Qionghua raised her voice a little. Sun Rui gritted her teeth and could only sit down reluctantly.
The phone in Song Fengwan’s pocket vibrated twice. She took out her phone, placed it under the table, and secretly took a peek at it.
It was Fu Chen’s message. [Come out and head left.]
Song Fengwan ate two mouthfuls of food before slowly getting up. “Please excuse me. I need to use the restroom.”
It had been five minutes since Fu Chen sent her the message.
***
After Song Fengwan went out, she followed his words and headed left. There was a turn in front, and just as she approached it, a hand reached out from the side…
… and grabbed her hand, pulling her whole body around the corner.
Fu Chen was standing right in front of her. He had been waiting a long time for her and was clearly getting slightly impatient.
Song Fengwan looked at him with a teasing smile.
“Are you happy?” Fu Chen held her hand and rubbed it gently in his palm. “You can still smile after someone introduced me to another girl?”
“I’m not.” Song Fengwan coughed guiltily. “Besides, if you’re not happy, you can just leave. Why did you still sit there?
“Furthermore…
“Wouldn’t you have known this beforehand?”
“She suddenly came over. How would I have known?” He leaned over, leveling his gaze with hers. “Both Aunt Yun and Uncle are here. If I lose my temper, I won’t leave a good impression on them. What if they make things difficult for me when I propose in the future?”
Uncle? Propose? Song Fengwan’s ears were slightly burning. I’m still so young. Isn’t this old man thinking way too far ahead?
“Besides, I’m here mainly to see you.”
The two of them leaned against each other and said some intimate words. Couples in their honeymoon phase always seemed to have endless topics to talk about.
“Let’s go back in. Are you going in first, or should I?” Song Fengwan looked at him seriously.
“I’ll watch you enter.” Fu Chen smiled helplessly. Why does it seem like we’re in an underground relationship?
***
The two of them entered the private room one after another.
The tinge of redness and swelling at the corner of Fu Chen’s mouth immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Song Fengwan drank her fruit juice with her head lowered, not looking at him at all.
Huai Sheng was the only one who glanced at her, then looked at Fu Chen’s almost-bleeding lips again. He furrowed his brows slightly.
Did Big Sister cause it?
As expected, the senior brothers were right. Women are ferocious beasts. If provoked, they are very scary.
“Third Brother, what… happened to your mouth?” Sun Qionghua smiled.
“I accidentally bit it just now.” His tone was casual, and it was clear that he didn’t want to discuss this topic.
“Fu Chen, thank you for what you did a few days ago. Let me toast you.” Qiao Aiyun held her wine glass.
Fu Chen stood up with his teacup. “Aunt Yun, you’re welcome.”
What Qiao Aiyun referred to was naturally the incident about Song Jingren. Everyone had a tacit understanding and was naturally unwilling to expose it.
But Sun Qionghua’s eyes lit up. She had known Fu Chen for so many years, but because of his high seniority, it was rare for her to see him be so polite to someone.
The two of them clinked their glasses.
“I’ve really troubled you so much recently. If you’re free these two days, please go to my house for a meal. I will personally cook it.” Qiao Aiyun had an extremely good impression of Fu Chen.
“Then, I definitely have to go.” Fu Chen smiled.
“If you have time, you can come to Suzhou to play. I will entertain you personally.” Qiao Wangbei raised his glass too. His enthusiasm was completely different from the fierceness he had shown when dealing with Fu Yuxiu earlier.
“I’ll go when I have time.” Fu Chen couldn’t wait to get closer to the Qiao family.
Song Fengwan leaned her chin on her hand and looked at Fu Chen. He’s really good at pretending.
After the three of them sat down, Fu Chen said lightly, “By the way, Aunt Yun, why don’t I see Mr. Yan?”
Qiao Aiyun smiled. “He went back to Nanjiang. He should be home now.”
“Should?” Fu Chen smiled. “Didn’t he tell you when he got home?”
“We spoke on the phone once when he got off the plane.”
“Really?” Fu Chen just smiled.
Although Qiao Aiyun wasn’t clingy like a young girl, their relationship had just been established, and it was supposed to be the time for Yan Wangchuan to work harder. He should have arrived in Nanjiang in the afternoon, yet he only made a call, so it somehow felt that he was being too indifferent.
“He’s just like that. He doesn’t talk much.” Qiao Aiyun smiled.
“Usually, when he’s in Yuncheng, he already doesn’t say much when you two meet. Now that he’s back in Nanjiang, it’ll probably be even harder to contact each other,” Fu Chen said very casually, as if he was joking and that his words couldn’t be taken to heart.
But when Qiao Aiyun heard this, she inevitably felt uncomfortable.
Most importantly, what Fu Chen pointed out was the truth.
Yan Wangchuan wasn’t someone who would take the initiative, and she really couldn’t ask for too much from him.
Qiao Aiyun suddenly slightly regretted agreeing to him so quickly. She thought that she should have interacted and observed him more.
Song Fengwan listened quietly. She had only found out a few days ago that these two people were allied. Uncle Yan just left, and Third Brother is already stabbing him in the back?
That’s so evil of him.
Or has the alliance collapsed?
Sun Qionghua sat at the side and listened silently. Judging from their tones, there was probably something going on between Qiao Aiyun and Yan Wangchuan.
She was glad that her relationship with the Qiao family hadn’t deteriorated past the point of no return. She didn’t know what the Yan family’s attitude toward this mother and daughter pair was. But if he treated Song Fengwan as his biological daughter, her value would naturally rise.
Yan Wangchuan is an only son too, and he has no biological children. Then, from now on…
Sun Qionghua shook her head helplessly, lamenting that fate was playing tricks on her.
Now, she hated Jiang Fengya even more.
***
Throughout the meal, everyone had their own thoughts, and it ended after seven in the evening.
Because Qiao Aiyun and Qiao Wangbei had drunk some alcohol, Fu Chen naturally had to drive them back.
Sun Qionghua could only agree. She couldn’t possibly let Fu Yuxiu send them home because Qiao Wangbei would probably kill him once he was in their territory.
They all went their separate ways.
Sun Rui knew that Fu Chen was very stubborn and didn’t have a great attitude toward her, so she wanted to start off by approaching Huai Sheng first. She had heard that this child was currently staying at Fu Chen’s place and was very close to him. If she pleased him, it would be easier for her to get close to Fu Chen in the future.
So when they returned to the Fu residence and Huai Sheng said that he would be doing his evening class, she volunteered to teach him.
Sun Qionghua was so annoyed with her and couldn’t be bothered with her at all. If Sun Rui didn’t suddenly come over, she wouldn’t have offended Fu Chen. If Fu Chen had spoken up just now, would the Qiao family have embarrassed her?
Fu Yuxiu silently cursed her for being stupid when he saw how happy she was.
She still wants to woo my third uncle like this?
Do the evening class?
She’ll probably be dead because of this scheming little baldy.
As expected…
A few minutes later, Sun Rui broke down.
Huai Sheng hugged the wooden fish and looked at her seriously. “Auntie, do you know what the saying ‘Everything with form is unreal; if all forms are seen as unreal, the Tathagata will be perceived’ means?”
Sun Rui was dumbfounded. She only understood the last word.
No one had told her that this little monk was here to recite scriptures at night.
“Auntie, my evening class is very boring. Are you sure you want to accompany me?”
She was the one who had volunteered to accompany him, so she couldn’t leave halfway, lest Fu Chen found out and she left a bad impression on him. She smiled. “Yes, I’ll accompany you.”
Thereafter, she listened to Huai Sheng knock on the wooden fish for a whole hour.
She was on the brink of going crazy, but she still had to accompany him, all smiles.
***
On the other side…
While Fu Chen was sending the three of them back home, he was chatting with Qiao Wangbei throughout the car ride.
Fu Chen knew a lot about jewelry and jade, which surprised Qiao Wangbei. “I really didn’t expect you to know so much.”
“I’m interested in it, so I learned more about it.”
“If you come to Suzhou in the future, you can come to my house and have a tour.”
Fu Chen nodded.
Meanwhile, Qiao Aiyun and Song Fengwan were sitting in the back row of the car. Song Fengwan saw her mother checking her phone every two minutes, clearly waiting for a call or a message.
Qiao Aiyun sighed when the car drove into their community. I really can’t expect too much from him.
The car stopped steadily. When the four of them got out, Qiao Aiyun looked at her phone again.
“Aunt Yun, why don’t you call him first?” Fu Chen smiled. “Mr. Yan is probably busy right now. He might call you later.”
Qiao Aiyun smiled faintly and didn’t say anything.
Song Fengwan was speechless. What did Uncle Yan do to offend him for him to keep playing tricks behind his back?
When the four of them entered the courtyard, the sensor lights under the porch lit up with the sound of footsteps.
Yan Wangchuan’s dark and cold face instantly appeared in their line of sight.
He appeared out of nowhere, and it was unknown how long he had been waiting there. He was dressed fully in black and had his lips pursed, exuding a chilly aura all over, especially when he looked at Fu Chen…
His gaze was even sharper, as sharp and deep as a hawk’s.
Brat, you’re really capable.
