Chapter 406: Wanwan: Dating and Becoming a Grandma?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Song Fengwan was in class when she saw what Duan Linbai posted on his Moments.
[Eldest Nephew, congratulations on successfully starting your journey…]
The accompanying photo was an illustration of a driver driving.
Anyone could think of what he wanted to express.
In fact, Duan Linbai wasn’t really foolish. There were only a few people on his Moments, and he must have blocked a lot of people.
Song Fengwan took a screenshot and asked Fu Chen.
[Third Brother, is this true? They’re moving so fast?]
After all, from the moment the two of them confirmed their relationship to meeting his parents and then starting their journey, it was almost seamless. Song Fengwan still clearly remembered when Fu Sinian introduced Yu Manxi to her.
Song Fengwan was astonished. How could he unilaterally announce their intimacy?
Fu Chen: [Yeah.]
After all, Fu Sinian had shamelessly sent red packets in the group chat to thank everyone for their congratulations and blessings. These two people must have driven last night.
Song Fengwan: [Then, after Grandpa Fu’s birthday banquet, are they going to get married?]
Fu Chen: [Probably.]
[Then, if they have a child, won’t you be a grandfather?]
At this thought, Song Fengwan almost laughed out loud in class. At the side, Hu Xinyue kept poking her. Actually, there were many people playing with their phones in class, but Song Fengwan…
She was about to burst into laughter. The professor had already looked at her a few times.
At this moment, when she thought of a child hugging Fu Chen’s thigh and calling him Grandpa, she couldn’t control herself.
Hu Xinyue was speechless. “Comrade Song Fengwan, can you please restrain yourself? The professor has already looked at us a few times.”
“I’m sorry.” Song Fengwan really wanted to restrain herself, but she couldn’t help it.
Fu Chen took a deep breath and sent her a message. [Wanwan, this child calls me Grandpa, so they should call you Grandma.]
The moment Song Fengwan saw the message, she was dumbfounded.
Hu Xinyue looked at her in disdain. Did this girl forget her brain in the dorm? She was laughing so hard that she was swaying back and forth. But now, she looks beaten dazed.
When class finally ended, Song Fengwan was lying on the desk, still on her last breath.
“Wanwan, class is over. We’re going to change classrooms.”
“I want to jump off a building.” Song Fengwan felt that she was still a child.
I’m just dating. Why am I becoming a grandmother?
Suddenly, I don’t want to be with Third Brother. How can I break up?
An idea suddenly popped into her head. If Fu Yuxiu gets married in the future, won’t his child also call me Grandma…
“Xinyue, I want to jump off a building.” Song Fengwan sighed.
“Jump. This is the first floor. You won’t die even if you jump down.” Hu Xinyue frowned. What provoked her? She’s so extreme. She actually wants to die?
“I can climb to the roof.”
“You’re wearing a skirt today. If you jump down, people will see your underwear.”
Song Fengwan looked at her blankly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“Don’t look at me with a sad face. Pack your things and go to class. Luckily, we attend the class together with Yating, so she can help us get good seats. Otherwise, we’ll have to sit at the back.” Hu Xinyue dragged her out.
“Xinyue…”
“Are you on your period?” Hu Xinyue sized her up.
“No, I might not be married or have a child before becoming a grandmother.”
“Is that so? Congratulations!” Hu Xinyue was heartless, and it was impossible for Song Fengwan to find any comfort from her.
When the two of them reached the classroom, Miao Yating immediately stood up and waved at them.
When many boys in the class saw Song Fengwan, their eyes lit up. The autumn rain some time ago had added some coolness to the capital. So Song Fengwan was wearing a cream-colored turtleneck sweater and a long skirt today, and her hair was loosely hanging down. She was dressed lazily and casually.
But the news that she had a boyfriend had spread like wildfire at the club gathering previously, shattering many boys’ dreams.
Many people left comments on the forums.
A lot of them were about their goddess being snatched by a toad.
Who knew how the rumors spread, but in the end, it turned out that she had found an ugly man, one so ugly that he was detestable.
Some people said that this person might not exist at all. Song Fengwan just wanted to use this excuse to get rid of some rotten pursuers.
Song Fengwan couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to those posts and comments. Those people spoke as if they had seen who she was with.
As soon as she sat down, she saw Gao Xue walk in. Behind her was Wu Yuxin, who was holding textbooks and a water bottle for her. Actually, many students in university helped teachers, so it wasn’t surprising.
Song Fengwan thought that based on Wu Yuxin and Gao Xue’s relationship, she should have been able to enter the Design Club. But unexpectedly, she didn’t.
Wu Yuxin’s seat was diagonally in front of Song Fengwan. She lowered her head to take out her things. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked dejected.
“Hey, did she cry?” Hu Xinyue was speechless. “Did the teacher scold her?”
“I don’t know.” Song Fengwan shook her head and didn’t pay much attention to her.
…
Actually, a few minutes before class, Wu Yuxin went to Gao Xue’s office as usual to help her bring her things to the classroom.
When she pushed the door open and entered, there was no one in the office. She walked to Gao Xue’s desk to wait.
On the desk was a printed photo. It was a drawing. After she took a closer look, there was even a clear signature on it:
[Song Fengwan.]
On Gao Xue’s desk, there was a half-drawn design drawing. Although it wasn’t the hornless dragon tiger drawing, she was in the design major, so she could tell at a glance that there were similarities between the two.
She knew exactly where the essence of the design was and where it was most outstanding.
Song Fengwan’s drawing used exquisite and skillful brushstrokes. Although Gao Xue’s looked good and also had a refined design, when compared…
Could it be…
A thought surfaced in her mind. She had been helping Gao Xue and knew her drawing style. When she saw Song Fengwan’s picture, she couldn’t help thinking about the connection.
“Impossible…” Wu Yuxin put the printed photo on the desk and walked out in a daze.
Her mind went blank.
She was helping Gao Xue because she wanted to learn some skills from her because she was the youngest winner of the Yuming Cup. If she followed her, she would definitely be able to learn real things. She wanted to win their school’s national award and stand on the podium openly.
She wanted to win against Song Fengwan with her own abilities.
The moment she opened the door, she bumped into Gao Xue.
“Yuxin, you’re here early.”
Wu Yuxin was so frightened that her face turned pale. She looked at her and trembled, unable to say a word.
“What’s the matter? Help me fill my water bottle with water. We’ll go to class after I sort out the class materials.” Gao Xue walked straight to her desk. She had put everything on it herself. Everyone had their own habits. She could tell at a glance that someone had moved the items on her desk.
She turned her head and looked at Wu Yuxin. She was holding the water bottle and bending over to get water from the water dispenser.
Her fingers were trembling, and hot water splashed out, almost scalding her fingers.
“Yuxin.”
“Huh?” Wu Yuxin’s mind was full of all kinds of things about plagiarism. Her fingers trembled, and with a clatter, the water bottle fell to the floor, spilling the water.
“What did you see just now?” Gao Xue looked very calm.
“N-nothing.” Wu Yuxin gulped nervously.
They both studied design, so Wu Yuxin knew very well how big of a deal it would be once her thoughts were confirmed.
No one would believe that the winner of the Yuming Cup had plagiarized a first-year’s artwork. Moreover, the entire incident would probably affect the entire art and calligraphy world.
This award was too important, and it was discovered that the winner had plagiarized…
Wu Yuxin didn’t even dare to think about it.
“Help me pick up the water bottle and wash it.”
“Okay.” Wu Yuxin had no idea that her voice was trembling.
Compared to what she had done in school, Gao Xue was simply too terrifying. This kind of deception deceived all the masters and big names in the circle.
She didn’t dare to think about it.
When Wu Yuxin returned, Gao Xue had already finished packing.
“Help me get water. Why are you in a daze?” Gao Xue narrowed her eyes at her.
After Wu Yuxin went out, she was much calmer than earlier. She filled the water bottle with water and passed it to Gao Xue.
“Wu Yuxin, did you really not see anything?”
After all, Gao Xue was her teacher. Students had an instinctive respect for teachers, and it was the same for Wu Yuxin. She was frightened and trembling…
Gao Xue suddenly pinched her chin. “I’m the winner of the Yuming Cup. This is the result after a few months of discussion by experts.”
Wu Yuxin panted heavily, and her eyes were slightly red from fright. She was obviously about to cry.
“There are some things that people might not believe even if you tell them. After all…
“Everyone in this school knows that you don’t get along with Song Fengwan. Your reputation here is already in tatters. How many people will believe your words?”
Wu Yuxin’s entire body stiffened, and she was so frightened that she was suffocating.
“Aren’t you expecting me to ask the school leaders to help you cancel your punishment? If they don’t revoke this thing or delete it from your record, it’ll be difficult for you to find a job.
“Besides…
“You don’t have any evidence, right? You’re a smart person, so you should know what to choose.”
With that, Gao Xue let go of her chin. Wu Yuxin’s mind was blank, and she couldn’t think at all.
It would have been fine if she hadn’t mentioned this. But with this threatening warning, she was clearly certain that she had indeed plagiarized Song Fengwan, and it wasn’t just one drawing.
The design drawing just now was still unfinished, so she didn’t have to be so intense…
… Unless there was something else.
Wu Yuxin’s legs were trembling.
“Let’s go to the classroom. Quickly help me carry my things.” After Gao Xue finished speaking, she changed back to her usual harmless and gentle self.
Wu Yuxin inexplicably felt as if her entire world had been turned upside.
The Yuming Cup was the dream of all designers. If even this could be cheated on, what else could be real?
***
Song Fengwan lowered her head and wrote and drew on her book. Actually, Gao Xue’s class wasn’t very good, and people could find the contents of her lectures in the book. This led to not many people listening in class.
From the corner of her eye, Song Fengwan saw that Wu Yuxin seemed to be looking at her. When she looked over, she quickly turned her head back.
After the two-hour class, Song Fengwan had to go out and eat with Yan Wangchuan. She quickly packed her things, said goodbye to her two roommates, and rushed out of the classroom.
“Song Fengwan.” Wu Yuxin suddenly chased after her.
“Huh?” Song Fengwan turned around to look at her.
Ever since the incident at the new student assembly, the two of them hadn’t spoken. Wu Yuxin hadn’t joined any clubs or had many friends. Compared to the start of school, she was much more low-key and restrained.
“What’s the matter?” She called me but isn’t saying anything?
Wu Yuxin opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but she looked troubled.
“Yuxin!” Gao Xue’s voice suddenly came from behind her. Wu Yuxin was so frightened that her face turned pale. “What are you doing here? Come with me to my office. I need your help with something.”
“Okay.” Wu Yuxin took a deep breath.
Song Fengwan was dumbfounded. What is she doing?
On the other side, Wu Yuxin followed Gao Xue into the office while trembling.
“Why did you look for Song Fengwan just now?”
“N-nothing…”
“Yuxin, when you enter society, you’ll know that everything isn’t as simple as you think. There are too many things in this world that are true and false…” Gao Xue patted her shoulder.
“Isn’t your face fake? Even people are fake, much less people’s hearts…”
***
Meanwhile, even after Song Fengwan got into Yan Wangchuan’s car, she still looked confused. She kept feeling that Wu Yuxin had wanted to say something to her, and the look in her eyes had been very strange.
“What are you thinking about?” Yan Wangchuan was a typical good man. Unless he had a special social gathering, he would always bring Song Fengwan out to improve her meals.
Song Fengwan shook her head.
At the beginning, she would always invite her two roommates. Once or twice was fine. But as time passed, Hu Xinyue and Miao Yating felt embarrassed. Even when Yan Wangchuan invited them, they didn’t go out with them again.
From the corner of her eye, she saw a paper bag Yan Wangchuan had placed on the seat console. “What is this?”
“There’s a design exhibition next week, and the invitation card is inside. There’s also a box of macarons inside. You can take it out to eat.”
“Okay.” The invitation card was tied to the dessert box, so it was naturally brought out.
