Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy

Chapter 56: Mama Song Takes Action, Lays It Into and Beats the Little White Flower

When Fu Chen received the news, he was sitting in a private room in the Pear Garden with a good friend. The person opposite him was holding a cup of hot tea. A tiny bit of light shone through the colored window at the side and landed on him, making him look a little ethereal.

This person had an extremely good-looking and refreshing face. Fu Chen’s facial features were cold and ascetic, but this man exuded a feminine aura yet didn’t seem feminine at all. Instead, he was extremely handsome.

He tilted his head and looked at Fu Chen. “What happened? Have something going on?”

His accent and pronunciation were perfect.

“In the past, I asked you to change your phone, but you weren’t willing to, saying that you’re a nostalgic person. We haven’t seen each other for a while, and now you’re even using WeChat.” The man’s tone was teasing with a hint of arrogance and aloofness, and he looked otherworldly.

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

The man looked up at the stage. “Do you know what this opera is called?”

Fu Chen looked up. He had listened to this opera before, but he couldn’t recall the name at the moment.

“What?”

“It’s called ‘Longing for Worldly Pleasures'[1].”

“Is it about gods, immortals, and spirits?” Fu Chen naturally thought of gods, immortals, and ghosts that admired the mortal world based on the name.

“It’s about nuns longing for worldly pleasures.” The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Fu Chen with a teasing expression. “I specially ordered this play for you.”

Fu Chen sneered. “I have something to ask you.”

“Go ahead.” The man lowered his head and sipped his tea.

“What should I do when I meet my significant other’s parents for the first time?”

The fingers of the man opposite him paused, and he raised his head to look at Fu Chen. According to the information I received, he just announced that he had a girlfriend last night, and he’s already going to see her parents today? His speed is way too fast.

Without waiting for him to speak, Fu Chen smiled. “I almost forgot. You haven’t even held a lady’s hand, let alone seen anyone’s parents. I asked the wrong person.”

The man swallowed a mouthful of tea and instantly felt that the tea was insipid. He’s really vengeful. I just teased him a little, and he immediately took revenge.

“You’re not young anymore. You should consider marriage.

“My mother has become addicted to being a matchmaker these few years. She knows a lot of girls. I’ll talk to her someday and ask her to make arrangements for you.”

The man frowned. How could that little girl be so unlucky to get targeted by such a sly and petty person?

At this moment, at the entrance of Beijing Second High School…

Although there were not many passersby, Song Fengwan and Jiang Fengya had been in a stand-off for a long time, so they had already attracted the attention of others.

“I know I let you down on the matter regarding Yuxiu. I feel terrible about it, but you two weren’t married. Love is free, and we have already sincerely apologized to you.

“I know that his family likes you and doesn’t want us to be together. I just want to know if he’s doing alright right now.”

When Jiang Fengya saw that there were more and more onlookers, she burst into tears. She grabbed Song Fengwan and refused to let go no matter what.

“As long as you’re willing to tell me, I’ll do anything you ask.”

…

The people surrounding them didn’t know what was going on. But according to Jiang Fengya’s words and by comparing their clothes—Song Fengwan was wearing the school uniform of Beijing Second High School, and the students inside were either rich or noble—they immediately imagined a story of a rich girl bullying Cinderella and looked at Song Fengwan with increasingly strange gazes.

“Let go of me quickly, or I won’t be polite anymore.” Song Fengwan had already exhausted her patience with Jiang Fengya, and her clothes were becoming crinkled from Jiang Fengya’s pulling.

“Really, I’m begging you. You must know where he is…” Jiang Fengya was extremely scheming.

She was just here to try her luck. Song Fengwan had a strong attitude and would definitely not tell her, so she might as well bring her down with her. If I’m uncomfortable, don’t think about having a good time either.

Song Fengwan was furious. She was still carrying her art portfolio bag on her back, and Jiang Fengya was pulling and tightly grabbing her. It was very inconvenient for her to move. She gritted her teeth and suddenly exerted force!

Seeing the opportunity, Jiang Fengya suddenly released her fingers. Not only did she not pull Song Fengwan, but she also pressed down on her arm and pushed her back.

Song Fengwan couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, but she didn’t expect Jiang Fengya to have such dirty moves and dare to do such dirty tricks in broad daylight.

She staggered twice and almost fell straight on the back of her head.

The entrance of the school was all cement pavement. If the back of her head hit the ground, even if she didn’t bleed, she would have internal bruising in her head.

Just as she thought that she would definitely get hurt today, someone held her shoulder, and her body was instantly stable.

Jiang Fengya looked at the person standing in front of her, and her fingers tightened. So close.

The viciousness in her eyes flashed only for a split second before disappearing, and she looked pitiful once again.

She reached her hand out. “How are you? Are you okay? I didn’t mean to hurt you. You told me to let go, so I—”

Just as her fingers touched Song Fengwan’s sleeve, the person standing behind Song Fengwan suddenly raised her hand…

… And a loud slap resounded.

The slap landed firmly on Jiang Fengya’s face.

It was fast, strong, and ruthless.

Her pale little face turned blood-red in an instant, and she was completely dumbfounded. A few onlookers were also scared stiff.

Jiang Fengya looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

The misty blue coat complemented her to look very capable and experienced, and she had a belt around her thin waist. She looked smart yet still had the charming aura of a young woman. She wore sunglasses, covering most of her face, making her look low-key yet also having a strong aura.

“You…” She felt that this person looked a little familiar. But just as she uttered a word, this person actually raised her hand and wanted to hit her again.

Jiang Fengya wasn’t stupid and hurriedly reached her hand out to stop this person. But this person’s slap was swift and powerful. She couldn’t block it and took another solid hit.

She staggered and almost fell.

“You’re so young, yet you’re so vicious. After snatching someone else’s fiancé, can’t you be quieter?” The woman’s voice was penetratingly cold.

“You’ve harassed my daughter time and time again. Do you really think that no one will dare to touch you now that you have someone backing you?

“Even if Fu Yuxiu was standing here right now, I would still hit you regardless!”

Jiang Fengya’s heart thumped. She’s…

“Mom, why are you here?” Song Fengwan was naturally surprised and happy to see Qiao Aiyun.

“If I didn’t come, were you going to let her bully you? So young yet so vicious. If you dare to lay your hands on my daughter again, it won’t end with just two slaps.” Qiao Aiyun took off her glasses. Her phoenix eyes were beautiful and domineering.

Trembling with anger, Jiang Fengya covered her face with her hand. “I only spoke a few words to her, but you hit me in public? You’re obviously taking the opportunity to take revenge on me.

“This is Beijing. How can you hit someone and still feel justified? You’re going way too far.”

Qiao Aiyun sneered. “When you harassed my daughter just now, I already called the police. The police will probably be here soon. We’ll slowly talk about what’s right and what’s wrong in the police station.

“I believe the surveillance cameras at the entrance of the school won’t lie.

“Did you just say a few words to her? Or did you push her on purpose? Someone will naturally give you justice when you hurt someone deliberately!”

Jiang Fengya’s pupils constricted as she broke out in cold sweat.

Watching the show at the side, Shi Fang and Qian Jiang were already dumbfounded.

Jiang Fengya’s push was not very obvious, but there were surveillance cameras. As long as the footage was slowed down, it wouldn’t be difficult to see some clues.

They originally thought that Third Master would have a chance to perform, but they didn’t expect that…

… she had attacked so ruthlessly and still wanted to bring Jiang Fengya to the police station afterward. She is a ruthless person.
