Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Fu Chen was in a meeting at the company when his phone vibrated. Everyone’s gaze focused on his phone.

He narrowed his eyes and read Qian Jiang’s message.

[The couple found the Pear Garden and vandalized it. They want to snatch the child. They are very rampant.]

[The man wanted to hit Old Madam. He’s very bold.]

Fu Chen’s eyes narrowed, and his gentle face instantly turned cold.

[Then I kicked him away.]

“Vice President Sun will continue to lead the meeting. After this, arrange the meeting minutes for me.” Fu Chen took his phone and walked out. He went to his office to get his car key and went straight to Pear Garden.

***

Inside the Pear Garden…

When Old Madam Fu said that she wanted to seal the Pear Garden temporarily, the couple was dumbfounded. The reporters panicked, and the thirty-odd people who had come to watch opera looked at each other in dismay. They were here to see opera as a pastime. Who would want to get involved in trouble for no reason?

“Old Madam Fu, we…” A friend more familiar with Old Madam Fu couldn’t help speaking up.

Old Madam Fu said unhurriedly, “Don’t be anxious. I won’t do anything to you. Now that things have come to this, everyone is saying that our Fu family is bullying others.

“If only our two families are here today, I’m afraid people will say that we bullied them.

“I want to ask everyone to be my witnesses and see who is bullying whom in this incident. After this, I will get people to send you back, and I absolutely won’t make things difficult for you.”

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. The Pear Garden manager had already sent the opera performers backstage and settled the guests at the side. He got someone to clean Huai Sheng’s broken cup and pour him a cup of hot tea.

“Thank you.” Seeing the couple, Huai Sheng was trembling so much that he couldn’t even hold his cup.

“What are you afraid of? Have some tea.” Old Madam Fu remained calm.

She had lived through the war years. Back then, she had never even blinked when someone held a gun to her chest, let alone dealing with such a scene.

“Don’t just stand there. Sit down.” Old Madam Fu looked at the group of people opposite her.

Her gaze swept past the group of media people behind the couple and landed on a woman. She was quite familiar with this person with a work pass.

Previously, the TV station’s legal program ‘All Beings’ was hosted by Yu Manxi. But now, it was her, Ding Jingyi, who hosted it.

Old Madam Fu didn’t like her hosting to begin with, and she didn’t expect this kind of person to get involved.

She was young and had exquisite makeup on her face, and her face was full of ambition.

She wanted to use all the opportunities she had to climb up the social ladder. The show’s good reputation accumulated from the previous host had been ruined by her.

“Old Madam, the Garden has been sealed.” The manager walked over with a respectful attitude.

The couple instantly panicked. “You’re stopping us from reuniting with our flesh and blood, yet you still want to lock us up here? What does your Fu family want to do?”

Old Madam Fu chuckled lightly. “With so many people around, what can I do to you? What are you afraid of?”

She raised her hand to signal the manager to take Huai Sheng away.

“Grandma…” Huai Sheng knew how unreasonable they were and was worried that something would happen to Old Madam Fu.

“Qian Jiang, bring him away,” Old Madam Fu instructed.

Qian Jiang was quick and carried Huai Sheng to the lounge at the back.

“Where are you taking our child?!” Huai Sheng was the couple’s last hope. Seeing the child being taken away, the couple became anxious.

“The scene later will be too bloody, so it’s not suitable for children to be present.” Old Madam Fu smiled.

After Huai Sheng left, Old Madam Fu took out her phone from her pocket, opened a video, and passed it to the manager at the side. “Please put it on the big screen for me.”

Nowadays, the Pear Garden had advanced equipment, and the announcements all used electronic screens. Usually, there would also be advertisements.

The manager took the phone and looked at the video. His expression changed slightly. “I’ll go right away.”

Soon, an image appeared on the big screen.

It was the scene of the couple causing a ruckus at the entrance of the tutoring center yesterday and pulling the child. Because the reporters’ videos had been confiscated by Jing Hanchuan, the scene had not been exposed.

Fu Chen had sent this video to her last night. She had been so angry that she had woken up four or five times in the middle of the night.

In the video, Ma Yincui and Huang Jianhua ignored the child’s feelings, tried their best to pull him away, and fought with the teachers in the tutoring center. The child’s arms were covered in red marks from the pulling, and he was crying exceptionally miserably.

The scene was chaotic.

The audience was watching the video intently. “They’re snatching the child. The child is already crying so much. How can they keep pulling him like that? How heartless.”

“Are they really his biological parents?”

“Look at how frightened the child is.”

…

Everyone present was middle-aged, and they were all parents and even grandparents. Seeing this scene, they couldn’t stand it.

When Ma Yincui saw that the situation had changed, she became anxious. “It’s all because you hid the child and didn’t let us see him. That’s why we did it!”

“Is this your reason for snatching and pulling the child away? How can there be parents as heartless as you in this world? Do you really want to bring the child back and bring him home? Or is the son in the hospital bed unable to wait any longer?!”

Huang Jianhua jumped up. “That’s my son. What does it have to do with you, you damn old woman?! Mind your own business!”

“That’s right. It has nothing to do with you!” They shouted with their sharp voices.

Everyone was in an uproar. This couple was really bold. They actually dared to scold Old Madam Fu.

If Old Master Fu was present, he would kill them.

Old Madam Fu picked up the teacup beside her hand, raised it, and threw it on the floor. Bang! The Garden instantly fell silent.

“Continue yelling. Things won’t become the way you want just because you’re loud!

“I know you are shameless, but I didn’t expect you to be this shameless. Yesterday, the insiders weren’t present. Is it because we didn’t embarrass you that you think you can be so arrogant today?

“You were the ones who abandoned Huai Sheng back then. How can you have the cheek to look for him today?!”

Ma Yincui jumped up, rushed over, and pointed at Old Madam Fu. “You’re spouting nonsense. Everyone, don’t listen to her nonsense. My child was obviously kidnapped.”

“When the pilgrims picked up the child back then, they immediately called the police, and the police station has a record of it.

“Moreover, there was a note in his swaddling clothes indicating the time of birth. If he was abandoned by a human trafficker, why would there be such a thing inside?

“Master Pudu has always kept the note. No matter how much you spread rumors and caused trouble online, he didn’t expose you. He just thought that you’re Huai Sheng’s biological parents and that your other child has a serious illness, so he didn’t want to embarrass you.

“But you don’t know how to be grateful. You went to the mountain to cause trouble and disturb the peaceful Buddhist land. Don’t treat the kindness of others as capital for you to trample on them wantonly.”

Old Madam Fu’s words revealed a lot of information. Everyone was whispering and discussing.

“You’re slandering us. What can a note prove?!” Ma Yincui shouted. But being stared at by Old Madam Fu, she couldn’t help feeling a little guilty.

The handwriting on the note didn’t belong to the couple.

Moreover, just the note alone couldn’t prove who had abandoned the child. This was also why the police had let them go after arresting them yesterday.

Actually, the couple had been confused when they arrived at the police station yesterday. They knew better than anyone that they had abandoned the child, but they hadn’t left the note inside.

The date of birth was exactly the same as Huai Sheng’s. The two of them were dumbfounded. Where did this thing come from?

“What people do is watched by the heavens. The heavens are clear, and the wicked will be punished by the heavens.” Old Madam Fu’s tone was mocking.

Ma Yincui had a guilty conscience. When Old Madam Fu spoke of karma and retribution, she immediately thought of her sick son lying in bed. She was furious and rushed over to hit her.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Even the reporters were stupefied. No one would dare to touch this old madam.

As there were still pieces of the broken porcelain cup on the floor, Ma Yincui had to raise her foot to avoid them. Her thoughts were in a daze for a moment. And when she looked up again, a slap came at her.

Slap! The sound was crisp and clear.

“Back when I was still unmarried, I saw some unreasonable people. I have seen many people more shameless than you, who blamed others for their misdeeds. And there was no shortage of people driven to desperate actions. You still want to fight me?”

Old Madam Fu sneered, feeling that her actions were laughable.

“I haven’t fought with anyone for many years. You’re quite capable to be able to make me anxious.

“Don’t keep saying that I’m taking advantage of my power to bully others. Just because you’re weak, it doesn’t mean that you’re right.

“No one has dared to clamor like this in front of me before!”

Old Madam Fu’s words were harsh, and her experienced eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of frost, making people feel intimidated.

Ma Yincui was an uncouth person to begin with. Yesterday, she had met a sharp-tongued brat and couldn’t win against her. How could she still be threatened by a woman whose body was more than half buried in the ground today?

The discussions around them became louder and louder. It was obvious that they were siding with the Fu family.

“You damn old woman, how dare you hit…”

Old Madam Fu raised her hand and slapped her again.

“So what if I hit you?

“You keep calling me a damn old woman. You’re vulgar, barbaric, and have no manners.

“You’ve been slandering and smearing the Fu family these days. Do you think I can tolerate you? Our Fu family’s hundred years of good reputation, do you think you can slander it as you please?”

Old Madam Fu had been suppressing her anger since yesterday. Seeing that she wasn’t repenting even at the brink of death, she naturally couldn’t stand it and wanted to act herself.

“You…” Huang Jianhua held his stomach and tried to rush over. From the corner of his eye, he saw Qian Jiang standing behind Old Madam Fu and flinched back.

Old Madam Fu sneered. How cowardly.

Not even one ten-thousandth of my old man.

The crowd gulped nervously. She’s indeed impressive.

The reporters at the back looked at each other and didn’t dare to come forward.

In the past, they had only heard about the Fu family. Everyone outside said that Old Madam Fu was from the south and was gentle, virtuous, and well-mannered. How was she gentle? She was clearly very formidable.

Even a barbaric person like Ma Yincui was so frightened that she didn’t dare to make a sound.

How could she be simple since she was the mistress of a prestigious family and managed the affairs of this large family?

Ma Yincui was anxious and angry.

After suffering consecutive setbacks—hit by a little girl and an old woman—she was utterly ashamed. Just as she was about to open her mouth and shout, Old Madam Fu glared at her coldly.

Her heart was pounding wildly, and she could only say in a muffled voice, “You’re simply bullying us!”

Old Madam Fu glanced at the video from the corner of her eye. Then she suddenly slapped her.

Ma Yincui was caught off guard and almost fell.

“This slap is for Huai Sheng. You’re not worthy of being a parent by torturing a child like this.”

“…” Ma Yincui glared at her fiercely.

“So what if I bully you today?!”

“You…” Ma Yincui’s face was swollen from the slaps, and her mouth hurt. She couldn’t even speak properly, so she could only say ruthlessly, “Just you wait. ”

Old Madam Fu sneered. Before she could speak, she heard the door of the Pear Garden being kicked open.

“What happened?” The manager was shocked, thinking that someone had barged in.

Walking past the small courtyard at the entrance and passing through the pear wood screen, Fu Chen appeared in front of everyone.

Fu Chen had gone to the company today and was dressed very formally.

He was wearing a black suit with his jacket unbuttoned, and the white shirt underneath was spotless. His expression was cold.

Other than the senior fans who often came here to watch opera, many of them were seeing Fu Chen for the first time. His well-ironed suit pants were like knives, complementing his valiant bearing and making his expression look even more cold and severe.

Not far away, the reporters were even more stunned. The female host called Ding Jingyi had just seen Jing Hanchuan yesterday and had been extremely shocked. And now, she was looking at Fu Chen.

His temperament was soft and gentle, but his eyes were sharp and exuded an evil aura. She was even more astonished.

“Who is this…” She poked her colleague beside her. “Is he the boss behind the Pear Garden?”

The sharp-eyed cameraman saw the prayer bead bracelet hanging on his wrist, and his heart raced. “He isn’t the owner of the Pear Garden. He is…”

“Third Master, you’re here.” The Pear Garden manager hurriedly greeted him. He had finally waited for him.

Old Madam Fu sat down on her chair. “Third Son, if you had come any later, someone would have slapped my face. I was really scared to death.

“These people are really impressive. They rushed over and wanted to fight me.

“They even called me a damn old woman. I can’t live like this anymore.”

“Really? Who?” Fu Chen smiled.

Ma Yincui was dumbfounded.. It’s obviously me who was beaten up. How can you have the cheek to complain and even say that you were scared to death?
