Chapter 390: The Eldest Daughter-In-Law of the Fu Family, Gentle on the Outside But Ruthless on the Inside, Not to Be Trifled With

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Inside the private room of the Banquet Restaurant…

When Yu Manxi first came in, she was indeed a little nervous. She was also worried that the Fu family would ask her about her family matters. Many people were very concerned about their children’s significant other’s family. If they knew her true family situation, she was afraid that…

She had once thought of telling Fu Sinian about her family. But every time she opened her mouth, he would interrupt her at just the right time, and it was even harder to muster up her courage again.

When Dai Yunqing asked about her parents and siblings, her heart skipped a beat.

But after Fu Sinian cut her off, she never mentioned it again.

This made her hanging heart gradually relax.

Even though Fu Shinan was a little scary, after chatting for a while, she got used to it and wasn’t as afraid as she was initially.

Dai Yunqing didn’t have any requirements for Fu Sinian’s other half to begin with. From Song Fengwan, she found out that she was very good at managing herself and could even cook, so she was naturally even more satisfied.

They chatted casually, and Dai Yunqing found that her personality was pretty good and not as domineering as she looked.

On TV, Yu Manxi always dressed in suits and formal attire, and she criticized the problems in society very sharply. In private, her personality was quite soft. When the few women chatted, the topics naturally varied, and the three men at the table couldn’t join in.

Fu Shinan suddenly gave Fu Sinian a look. “I’m going out for a while.”

Fu Sinian quickly followed him out. Dai Yunqing coughed twice and motioned for Fu Chen to follow them.

***

The three of them went to a secluded place in the hotel. Fu Chen leaned against the wall and didn’t disturb the father and son.

“What’s the situation of Little Yu’s family?” Fu Shinan couldn’t interrupt earlier. While they were taking a breather, he asked the question in his heart.

Fu Sinian was silent for a few seconds.

“Are her parents together or divorced? Or is she an orphan?” Fu Shinan could only think of these situations. “There are quite a lot of situations like these nowadays. Moreover, the matter of parents has nothing to do with the child. There’s no need to hide this.”

Fu Shinan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, held one with his fingertips, lit it, and slowly took a puff.

Meeting Fu Sinian’s girlfriend today was naturally another experience for Fu Shinan. He had always felt that he should get married and start a family. But when this day really came, he felt a lot of emotions.

“As long as you two get along well, it’s fine. Your mother seems to have a good impression of her.” Fu Shinan and his wife had discussed this a long time ago and never planned to live with the children.

If they needed them to take care of their child in the future, they could help. They didn’t want to disturb the lives of juniors during other times.

The current generation had too many thoughts, and living together might cause a lot of friction.

Fu Sinian also took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep puff. When he was halfway done smoking, he opened his mouth and said three words, “The He family.”

Fu Shinan narrowed his eyes, and his gaze flickered slightly. He took a deep puff of smoke and turned his head to look at Fu Chen at the side. “Third Brother, you already know?”

Fu Chen nodded.

“The one the He family abandoned in the countryside?” When Fu Shinan mentioned the He family, he clearly confirmed her identity.

“Yes.” Fu Sinian nodded.

Fu Shinan lowered his head, chuckled, and extinguished the cigarette butt in the trash can at the side. “This is all fate. After going around in circles, we’re actually becoming in-laws with their family. Their daughter, an abandoned child, is my future daughter-in-law. I wonder what their family will think when they find out.”

“Does the He family really have such a daughter? I thought it was just a rumor,” Fu Chen said.

“It’s true. It’s their family’s fault. This child was sent to the countryside the moment she was born. She never knew who her parents were. If something hadn’t happened later, she wouldn’t have been brought back.”

Fu Sinian was smoking quietly. His silent face became increasingly sinister under the white smoke.

“The He family treats her as a jinx. Even though they took her back, her life probably wasn’t easy.

“This matter is also related to our family. Later on, it was said that she was sent away, and she was most likely sent overseas.”

Fu Shinan laughed lightly. “I didn’t expect her to become my daughter-in-law. This is all fate. Does that child know about our two families…”

Fu Sinian shook his head.

“So, she doesn’t even know. The He family doesn’t treat her as one of their own. Even if they had taken her back for two years, they wouldn’t have told her about this. At her age…” Fu Shinan sighed. “It must have been difficult for her to survive in the He family. How could she have the mood to gossip about this?”

“Why did they abandon her?” Fu Sinian asked bluntly. When it came to the He family’s private matters, many things had been erased, and there was no way to investigate them.

There were thousands of complex matters, and he couldn’t figure out a single thing.

“Actually, the reason is very simple. It’s just that a bunch of troublesome things happened afterward…” Fu Shinan took a deep breath.

“But even if she has feelings for the He family, there’s also lots of hatred for them. If the He family looks for her again, as long as she’s determined enough, even if our families have grudges, it shouldn’t affect you two.

“A lot happened that year…”

Fu Chen listened quietly to the cause and effect before coming to a conclusion. This is karma. One is inevitably punished for one’s misdeeds.

***

At this moment, outside the Banquet Restaurant, a red sports car slowly stopped at the entrance. Xia Yunong was wearing a red trench coat and got out of the car ostentatiously. Although it was already 8 p.m., there were still many people sitting on chairs outside the restaurant, waiting for free tables.

Her appearance immediately caused a commotion.

After all, her face was quite recognizable.

“Miss, there are no vacancies at the moment. You can take a number and wait for a free table.” The waiter was also a little surprised. Their restaurant often had celebrities patronizing it, but others waited on their behalf. Very few people came personally.

“I’m looking for a friend. Where is the Purple Snow Room?” Xia Yunong had already found out which private room Yu Manxi was in.

“Go straight and turn left.” The waiter thought that she was really here to find a friend.

Because she was a celebrity, when she passed through the public dining area, she attracted a lot of attention. Facing everyone’s gazes, Xia Yunong didn’t mind at all and walked in openly without hiding anything.

She was afraid that others wouldn’t know she was here.

Qian Jiang and Shi Fang were also eating outside. They would definitely have a long meal since they were meeting Fu Sinian’s parents. Song Fengwan was also in a private room with them, so nothing would go wrong. Thus, Fu Chen asked the two of them to eat outside.

Shi Fang was chewing on a duck leg when he heard the commotion. He looked up and almost choked to death when he saw Xia Yunong rushing toward the private room.

Cough cough. “Uh…” He pointed at Xia Yunong.

Qian Jiang narrowed his eyes and followed.

“F*ck—” Shi Fang threw away the duck leg and rushed over without even wiping his hands.

Behind Xia Yunong, many passersby were following her and trying to get an autograph. They were basically not her fans, but when they saw celebrities, they all wanted to take a group photo and get autographs. They blocked Qian Jiang and Shi Fang’s path.

“Sorry, please make way.” Shi Fang was a little anxious. Why is this woman here?

Before the two of them could stop her, Xia Yunong had already pushed open the door of the private room.

Song Fengwan was telling Dai Yunqing and Yu Manxi about the interesting things that had happened during the military training when the door suddenly burst open. The three of them were shocked.

Xia Yunong had investigated Ning Fan before. When she saw that the woman sitting inside wasn’t Mrs. Ning, she heaved a sigh of relief. Her gaze at Yu Manxi became more and more arrogant.

Yu Manxi’s face instantly darkened.

In Xia Yunong’s eyes, this change in expression reflected the fear of a guilty conscience. She became even more proud of herself.

“Host Yu, what a coincidence. You’re eating here too.” Xia Yunong’s tone was full of schadenfreude.

Is she your future mother-in-law?

I’ll definitely kill you this time.

Song Fengwan didn’t expect Xia Yunong to appear. She had suffered a loss last time but still refused to give up and actually chased all the way here.

How could there be such a coincidence in this world? She had obviously come here on purpose.

Moreover, there was a group of guests following behind her. When they saw that Yu Manxi was sitting inside, they became even more excited. They were all wondering what kind of luck they had today to actually see two celebrities.

“Eldest Madam.” Shi Fang and Qian Jiang wanted to stop her, but it was already too late.

Dai Yunqing picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and pointed at the seat opposite her. “Are you Little Yu’s friend? Sit together?”

She could tell that this person didn’t come with good intentions, but she was still calm.

“Is your son dating her?” Xia Yunong ignored Dai Yunqing.

This made Shi Fang a little angry. F*ck, does this damn woman know who she’s talking to? Your son? Don’t you have any f*cking manners? And your tone is even more arrogant. Your nostrils are pointing up, and you’re looking down on people.

Xia Yunong had already calculated the consequences. Even if the matter was exposed and she was found out to have relied on Ning Fan to get to her current position, it didn’t matter. They had indeed dated before, and it was normal for her to be in a relationship at her age. But it was a fact that Yu Manxi was two-timing.

At that time, if she complained on Weibo that she had her man stolen, anyone who cared about her would drown Yu Manxi with their saliva.

Afterward, she would rely on the He family to make a comeback. Who would care about those black marks of the past?

“Auntie…” Yu Manxi was angry and anxious. “This is my personal matter. I’m sorry for scaring you. Xia Yunong, if you have anything to say to me, let’s talk outside. ”

“Why? Are you afraid?” Xia Yunong found a seat and sat down. She was also sizing up the remaining two people in the room.

She had seen Song Fengwan before, and she had a background, so she couldn’t afford to offend her.

As for the remaining one…

Dai Yunqing was in her fifties. When a person reached a certain age, there would definitely be signs of age on their face. She usually didn’t spend much time taking care of herself, but she was naturally aged, elegant and dignified.

She was wearing a simple dark blue cheongsam and had elegantly coiled hair. Only the jade necklace around her neck seemed to be worth some money.

She lowered her head and drank her tea, seemingly not caring at all about her unreasonable appearance.

“Xia Yunong, I’ve already told you very clearly what happened last time. Don’t embarrass yourself.” Yu Manxi gritted her teeth in hatred. If she left a bad impression on Dai Yunqing because of this, what would she do?

“That’s more like you.” Xia Yunong chuckled.

Shi Fang frowned. “Miss, this is a private room. You can’t come in. Please leave.”

Xia Yunong looked at him and saw Qian Jiang beside him. “You two are just bodyguards. Try touching me.”

“You’ve entered someone else’s room without permission. I’m already being very polite by not removing you.” Shi Fang gritted his teeth in anger.

You still f*cking dare to be arrogant?

How shameless.

“Shi Fang.” Dai Yunqing stopped him.

“Eldest Madam…” Shi Fang gritted his teeth in hatred.

“Is this young lady a celebrity?” Dai Yunqing sipped her tea calmly, completely unaffected.

“You don’t know me?” Xia Yunong sneered. She thought that almost everyone in the country recognized her.

“Are you famous?” Dai Yunqing spoke slowly and enunciated each word clearly.

There were many onlookers at the door. She couldn’t directly just say that she was famous. That would seem too arrogant.

Seeing that Dai Yunqing wouldn’t chase her out, Shi Fang wanted to close the door.

“Hey—” Xia Yunong was anxious. She wanted people to take photos and videos. With the door closed, she would be alone in the room. She couldn’t guarantee what these people would do to her.

“Since she invited these people over, she has her own intentions. There’s no need to close the door. Just leave it open like this.” Dai Yunqing knew that she was here for Yu Manxi.

This person was chosen by her son, and Fu Chen had seen her before, so he must have checked her identity and background. There was no way this celebrity had anything on Yu Manxi.

This was also her trust in her son.

“Little Yu, don’t stand. Sit.” Dai Yunqing beckoned her to sit.

“Auntie.” Yu Manxi was anxious. She had a clear conscience, but she had let Fu Sinian’s mother encounter this kind of thing on their first meeting. In the future, she would be ashamed to face her.

“Eldest Madam, are you really not going to chase her out? She rushed straight into someone else’s private room. She’s too presumptuous.” Shi Fang really couldn’t stand it. Qian Jiang had already called Fu Chen at this moment.

“It’s alright.” Dai Yunqing smiled.

“The world is so big, and there are so many people. You can’t expect everyone to be well-mannered. If you lower yourself to their level, you’ll degrade yourself.”

Dai Yunqing was gentle on the outside but ruthless on the inside. When she gently retaliated…

His words were especially ruthless.

She directly said that Xia Yulun was ill-mannered.

“…” Xia Yunong didn’t expect to be slapped before she could flare up.

Song Fengwan lowered her head and let out a muffled laugh. No matter what, Dai Yunqing was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family. She definitely wasn’t as weak and easily bullied as she looked on the surface.

The onlookers outside were whispering and laughing.

“Heh.” Xia Yunong sneered. “I couldn’t tell that you found a formidable mother-in-law. Her tongue is quite sharp at her age.”

“I’m just stating the facts. As for you, you’re still young, yet you’re already so despotic in the capital. Who gave you the courage?” Dai Yunqing had been gentle and polite from beginning to end while maintaining a good bearing and manners.

Shi Fang covered his chest. Does this woman really want to die?

Third Master treats this person as respectfully as his mother. You…

… are courting death.
