Chapter 452: Third Master Is Punished, Everyone Suffers

Yunjin Prime Manor…
Fu Chen was dealing with the wound on his back while Song Fengwan was sitting in the living room. The whole thing passed without any major mishap, but she still couldn’t calm down at this moment. From time to time, she looked in the direction of the small study and couldn’t sit still.
“Alright, stop sitting here. Go take a look.” After she sat down, Qiao Wangbei saw that her butt kept fidgeting, and he felt even more depressed.
He had the feeling that the Jadeite Cabbage he had been carving for more than ten years had suddenly been stolen.
“Then…” Song Fengwan bit her lip. “Uncle, Grandma Fu…”
At this moment, she didn’t even know how to address the two elders of the Fu family. She coughed twice to hide her embarrassment, pointed at the small study, and ran away.
The two Fu elders were also slightly embarrassed.
The girl they had always treated as their granddaughter-in-law suddenly became their daughter-in-law. The two of them were already in their eighties, but now there was a delicate daughter-in-law that was as beautiful as a flower…
The two of them looked at Qiao Wangbei and felt that even breathing was a little difficult.
Old Master Fu coughed, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of hot tea. It wasn’t warm, and it almost scalded his tongue.
“Ahem—” Old Master Fu cleared his throat. “Wangbei, have some tea and snacks.”
Qiao Wangbei smiled bitterly. In the past, he used to call Old Master Fu uncle. But now, their relationship was so messy…
***
Meanwhile, Song Fengwan had already arrived at the door of the study. She knew that Fu Chen’s shirt had been torn from the beating, so she had specially gone upstairs to find a shirt for him.
She knocked on the door softly. “Cousin?”
“Come in,” Qiao Xiyan said.
When she pushed the door open and entered, she saw Fu Chen sitting on a chair. His back was bare, and there was a hideous, thick gash as wide as a knuckle. Because he had just been hit, the swelling and redness had yet to subside, making the wound look even more terrifying.
Song Fengwan’s eyes were red, and her heart ached. “Are you done applying the medicine? Does he need to go to the hospital?”
“No need for now. After the swelling subsides, it’ll slowly recover.” Qiao Xiyan packed the first-aid kit.
Old Master Fu had indeed been very heavy-handed. His skin was torn and bleeding, but it wasn’t as serious as going to the hospital. “Rest more during this period of time. Don’t move around, and don’t touch your back.”
“It looks very serious.” Song Fengwan walked over but didn’t dare to touch him.
“I was often beaten up when I was young. This injury is nothing.” Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows. “A grown man isn’t that delicate, right, Third Master Fu?”
In the past, he had never seen Song Fengwan care so much about him. It was just a single blow. Did she have to be so nervous? Neither he nor his father had made a move.
Fu Chen pursed his lips. Letting him apply medicine for me is a second injury.
Qiao Xiyan didn’t take the opportunity to do anything to him, but he wasn’t gentle either. It just almost made him die from the pain.
“When the medicine dries, put your shirt on and come out to take some anti-inflammatory painkillers.” At this moment, Qiao Xiyan saw the two of them staring at each other. He really couldn’t stand their sweet and greasy behavior anymore. He carried the first-aid kit and walked out.
He was still lamenting that these two had hidden it really well…
After Qiao Xiyan left, Song Fengwan walked to Fu Chen and half-squatted to look at him. Her eyes were red.
“You’re crying?” Fu Chen couldn’t even exert strength in his arms at this moment. When he pulled the wound on his back, his skin and flesh hurt.
Song Fengwan shook her head. “Does it hurt?”
“Come closer,” Fu Chen whispered.
At this moment, Song Fengwan naturally responded to whatever he said. She moved a little forward, and he tilted his head and gently kissed her lips…
“It doesn’t hurt that much now.”
“How can you still…” Song Fengwan gritted her teeth.
“This is pretty good too. At least in front of them, we don’t have to be secretive.”
Song Fengwan pursed her lips and lowered her head without saying anything else. After the ointment on his back dried, she helped him put on his shirt and helped him out.
It was just a blow on his back, but Song Fengwan took care of him like he was disabled.
She was considerate and caring to the utmost.
***
Because of this incident, the matter between Song Fengwan and Fu Chen spread to a small extent among both families. But soon after, there were many things to face…
“Dad, do you want to tell Aunt about this?” Qiao Xiyan spun his carving knife in his hand. The light shone on the blade, reflecting a sharp and intimidating light.
“How?” Qiao Wangbei didn’t know where to start.
“That’s true. After all, Aunt is two people now. She can’t take such large stimulation. Are we going to hide it forever?”
“Let me think.” Qiao Wangbei sighed repeatedly.
Actually, the Fu family was also quite worried.
It wasn’t easy for Fu Chen to finally find a girlfriend. Logically speaking, Old Madam Fu should be the happiest. But when she thought of Fu Zhongli’s family, she felt troubled again.
For a daughter-in-law to become a sister-in-law, Fu Zhongli and Sun Qionghua would definitely find it difficult to accept for the time being. If things went wrong, there might even be some conflicts at home…
Old Madam Fu was both happy and worried.
“Why don’t we talk to Wangchuan? We can’t hide the matter between Third Son and Wanwan for long. We can broach the topic with him. There will be someone there who knows about it. If it’s not easy to explain their relationship for the time being, he can help them cover it up a little,” Old Master Fu suddenly said. “Don’t let Aiyun suddenly know. She can’t become anxious and angry. It won’t be good if something happens.”
“Actually…” Song Fengwan coughed twice. “Uncle Yan…”
“He’s an insider. He was the first to know,” Fu Chen said bluntly.
“You said my senior brother knows about it?” Qiao Wangbei couldn’t hold it in anymore. “When did he know?”
Compared to him, Yan Wangchuan was even more rigid and pedantic. His EQ was so low that he didn’t know how to interact with the person he loved, so how could he have noticed Fu Chen and Song Fengwan’s relationship?
“At the time, Wanwan and I hadn’t officially started dating yet, and he and Aunt Yun weren’t together either, so…”
“You two formed an alliance?” No one knew a son better than his father. Old Master Fu exposed him immediately.
Fu Chen didn’t deny it.
“Heh—” Qiao Wangbei was dumbfounded at this moment. “Good, very good!”
The two of them worked together and formed an alliance to kidnap my sister and niece. They’re really impressive.
“I just didn’t expect someone with Senior Brother’s EQ to help you hide it for so long. He’s really good at holding it in.” Qiao Wangbei was naturally very familiar with his senior brother.
He was straightforward and had a straight-laced personality. It was unbelievable that he could help them hide it.
“It’s because Aunt Yun doesn’t know. If he reveals it, Aunt Yun will definitely be angry. He doesn’t dare to take the risk,” Fu Chen said.
“You tricked my uncle-master, right?” Qiao Xiyan chuckled. “Everyone says that Third Master Fu is good at scheming. I’ve finally seen it this time.”
Old Master Fu rubbed his nose.
Since he was young, Old Master Fu had taught him a lot about scheming and politics. These were all kinds of wisdom. This brat used all the things I taught him to woo his wife.
Very good!
“Besides him, does Old Madam Yan know?” Qiao Wangbei asked.
“Yan Shaochen knows, but others don’t,” Fu Chen replied directly. At this point, there was naturally no need to hide it.
“Then, who on our side knows?” Old Madam Fu asked.
Fu Chen listed many names in a row…
Old Madam Fu reached out to cover her chest. It was extremely painful. Even the juniors knew about it, but they were hiding it from Fu Yuxiu alone. Even Fu Sinian knew about it, yet he actually helped hide it.
“I just want to ask something. When Miss Yu invited Wanwan to her home for dinner or other activities…” Qiao Wangbei probed. “You two were also…”
Once they thought about some things carefully, they realized that these two people were really too bold. It was not an exaggeration to say that they had deceived everyone.
Fu Chen and Song Fengwan were sitting together. Song Fengwan kept fiddling with her fingers with her head lowered, not daring to speak.
“You two are really good!” The corner of Qiao Wangbei’s mouth twitched. “Fu Chen, you’re the best…
“After digging such a big hole, how many accomplices did you bury inside?”
Fu Chen coughed. “I really didn’t want to hide it from you for so long. It’s just that the timing was never right.”
And for everyone who found out about their relationship, he could only drag them into the hole.
“I really doted on this brat Fu Sinian for nothing. How could he keep silent about such a big matter?” Old Madam Fu had always felt that her eldest grandson was the most obedient and sensible, and his actions were the most steady.
Old Master Fu sighed. “You can’t blame Sinian for this. It’s not like you don’t know Third Son’s bad temper. He’s his third uncle. Would Sinian dare to say it? He probably used all kinds of tricks.
“He must have been threatened. With Third Son’s personality, if Sinian didn’t obey him, no one would have had a good time.
“I really don’t know who he inherited this stubborn temper of his from!”
When Old Madam Fu heard this, she was unhappy. “He’s our son. Do you think he inherited his temper from me by saying that? Old Fu, you have to make this clear!”
“I…” Old Master Fu also felt that their relationship was too messy currently, and he had blurted it out without thinking much.
“He inherited it from me, right? Am I stubborn or bad-tempered?”
…
When the Qiao father and son saw the two elders arguing, they couldn’t interrupt and simply sat down to drink tea.
Their family was in a mess, and so was the Fu family.
***
The Qiao father and son ate lunch at Yunjin Prime Manor, and the few of them chatted in the living room for a while. Around evening, the Qiao family still decided to return to Suzhou according to their original plan. Before returning, they also decided to bring Song Fengwan back to the school.
Fu Chen’s back was injured, so he followed the two Fu elders back to the old residence in the end to make it convenient for them to take care of him.
On the way back to the school, Qiao Wangbei reprimanded Song Fengwan a lot. He just said that she was too audacious and actually hid it from the family for so long. Song Fengwan only lowered her head and admitted her mistake, her attitude good all the way.
But after they found out, Song Fengwan felt much more relaxed.
“Uncle, do you think Third Brother and I are not suitable?” Song Fengwan probed.
“What’s unsuitable about falling in love nowadays? Even if this matter involves Fu Yuxiu, it’s you two living together in the future, and it has nothing to do with him. Are you going to break up because of him?”
“No!” No one in love wanted to be separated.
“Wanwan, Uncle wants to ask you something.”
“Go ahead.”
“Did you have sex with Fu Chen?”
Song Fengwan’s face instantly flushed red, and she was tongue-tied. “We, we…”
“Since the two of you have already developed to this point, you must have spent the night together too. I know it’s not appropriate for me to talk about this, but you’re only a first-year university student and eighteen years old. You have to know how to protect yourself.”
Qiao Wangbei cleared his throat.
“I know your generation is more open-minded, but…
“You have to take precautions.”
“Uncle, we haven’t done that yet!” Song Fengwan’s face was so red that blood could drip from it. What nonsense is he spouting?!
“I’m just reminding you. It’s good that you haven’t. Protect yourself!”
Song Fengwan wanted to jump out of the car.
Qiao Xiyan kept suppressing his laughter while driving. His father was really worried. He actually asked a girl about this kind of thing.
***
On the other side, Old Madam Fu was asking Fu Chen the same question.
At this moment, Fu Chen couldn’t lean on anything on his back, and he kept supporting his back…
Old Madam Fu whispered into his ear, “Third Son, did you sleep with Wanwan last night?”
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. From his mother’s expression, he knew what she wanted to say.
“We haven’t gotten that far yet.”
Old Madam Fu suddenly understood. “Oh, no. I was just asking.” It was unknown if she was happy or sad.
Old Master Fu had slight presbyopia. He was holding his phone and squinting his eyes while rummaging through it.
“Dad, what are you doing?”
“Nothing,” Old Master Fu found a phone number and sent a message. He was mysterious, and Fu Chen didn’t know what he was doing.
When Fu Chen arrived at the old residence, he found that Duan Linbai, Jing Hanchuan, Fu Sinian, and Yu Manxi were all here.
“Grandpa Fu, why do you suddenly want to treat us to a meal? We just had a meal at your house yesterday. I was too embarrassed to come, so I specially brought two bottles of Maotai for you.” Duan Linbai smiled.
It was Fu Chen’s birthday yesterday, and they had just gathered together. They really didn’t know why Old Master Fu had personally sent a message to call them over.
“Fu Chen?” Jing Hanchuan narrowed his eyes and saw that the corners of Fu Chen’s mouth were pale, and he was walking strangely. He asked softly, “Are you sick?”
“No.” Fu Chen glanced at his father.
The people invited by Old Master Fu were all insiders of Fu Chen’s relationship. Old Master Fu didn’t invite them to dinner at all. He had set up a banquet to denounce them.
Fu Chen was punished alone, but everyone would suffer together as accomplices.
