Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master’s Wife-Chasing Strategy - Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Third Master’s Support

Beijing Second High School, Principal’s Office…

The principal looked at the man sitting opposite him. The man took some tea leaves, placed them in the dark-red enameled pottery teapot, and then added boiling water to the teapot. The tea leaves rolled about as a fragrance spread throughout the room. He put the lid on the teapot and waited for the tea leaves to finish soaking before grabbing the handle.

“Principal Wang, please.”

Principal Wang hurriedly held his teacup with both hands out toward the man. “You’re too polite. Let me do it.”

“I have something to trouble you with, so it’s only right for me to do so.”

When Ge Lu knocked on the door and entered, she saw Fu Chen. Although she didn’t know who he was, seeing the principal smile fawningly at him, she knew very clearly that she couldn’t afford to offend this person.

He looked to be only 25 years old and had deep eyes and thin lips. He was wearing an English-style knitted shirt, a trench coat, a necktie, and a watch. Everything about him was exquisite, and even his fingers holding the teacup were trimmed and clean.

He was young but completely stripped of youthful vigor and had tempered it into cold and strict arrogance.

Especially when he looked up at her, there was no emotion in his eyes. Even the cold winter wind couldn’t even compare to the aura he suddenly emanated.

“Principal, you’re looking for me?” Facing her leader, Ge Lu’s eyes were timid and a little afraid.

“I looked for you mainly to talk about Song Fengwan from your class.” Principal Wang clenched one of his fists and coughed twice. “I heard someone say that she has puppy love?”

“Principal, the parents of that student contacted the school and reported it. According to some students, they saw them being very close, and both their exam results this time dropped a lot.” Ge Lu was a little nervous when she said this.

“And so you confirmed that they’re in a relationship just like that?” the principal asked.

“Many students said that they saw the two of them walking together and that their relationship was unordinary.”

In school, puppy love was a big taboo. As long as a boy and a girl were a tiny bit close, rumors would spread. Moreover, Xu Jingcheng liked Song Fengwan and didn’t hide it.

“So, do you mean that because the two of them are slightly close, they’re considered dating?” Fu Chen, who hadn’t spoken all this while, took a sip of tea and stared at Ge Lu.

“They’re still students now, so they should prioritize their studies. If boys and girls have overly intimate interactions, they’ll definitely be distracted, so…”

“I’m unmarried and don’t have a girlfriend. Moreover, I live with her. According to your words, since the both of us eat and live together, I should be the one that’s dating her.”

“You’re her guardian. How can it be the same…” He and the principal were the only ones in the principal’s office. She didn’t know who Fu Chen was, but she knew in her heart that he was Song Fengwan’s guardian.

“I’m not blood-related to her, nor am I her elder. How are we different? So, isn’t your logic too far-fetched?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

“From what I know, it was that male student who took the initiative to pursue Wanwan, but she didn’t agree. His harassment has already caused a lot of trouble for Wanwan. Yet instead of looking for the person in question, you only looked for Wanwan. What’s the reason for that?

“His parents came to report the situation, but is it Wanwan’s fault?”

Fu Chen’s consecutive questions made Ge Lu speechless.

The Class 5 she was teaching was a class of children from wealthy families. She knew that Song Fengwan was considered obedient among all the students, but it was inevitable that she would look at Song Fengwan with bias.

Just as she was struggling to find a reason for herself…

Bang! Fu Chen slammed the cup on the table, and the tea splashed out.

“As a teacher, do you think that puppy love is just one student’s problem? Or did you think from the start that Wanwan isn’t a good student?

“So once something happens, you naturally think that it’s all her fault!

“In your eyes, is it a sin to have a better family background? Or is it that students with good grades will never do anything wrong?”

Her legs turned weak from his string of questions. He was clearly still refined and scholarly just now, but he suddenly spoke so harshly, and his eyes were fierce…

He made her heart tremble.

“Third Master, please calm down. There must be a misunderstanding!” Principal Wang hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

“What misunderstandings can there be if you condemn her with preconceived notions? Her studies here are ending soon, and she has troubled all of you for a long time. Originally, I was here to thank you for taking care of her, but now it seems like…

“She’s actually not having a good time at school either?”

When Fu Chen put this label on them, Principal Wang’s face paled slightly.

The Fu family had made arrangements for Song Fengwan to enroll in this school. But her surname was not Fu after all, so the principal hadn’t taken it very seriously. Even this matter of her having puppy love wasn’t reported to him. Fu Chen’s sudden visit startled and frightened him.

“Third Master, how is that possible? She has never been bullied in our school. I can promise you that.”

“You don’t need to take special care of her. But even so, I hope that there’s no discrimination against students in school.” When Fu Chen said this, he specially looked at Ge Lu. His stare made her heart flustered and her legs weak.

After Fu Chen left, the principal was still feeling guilty. He specially pulled out Song Fengwan’s school registration information and read it over and over for a long time.

There were also members of the Fu family who had studied at Beijing Second High School. But no matter what had happened, Fu Chen had never cared, yet now he specially came here for Song Fengwan. He really didn’t understand why.

After thinking about it, there were only two possibilities…

One was that Third Master Fu, who looked kind on the outside but was ruthless on the inside, had finally found his conscience.

And another is that Third Master had taken a liking to her.

At the thought of this possibility, half of his body turned cold.

***

At noon, when school was about to end, Song Fengwan was asked to stay back again.

She originally thought that Ge Lu would reprimand her again, and she was already mentally prepared. But she didn’t expect Ge Lu to directly apologize to her.

“Sorry, I didn’t investigate the matter clearly, and I said too much. I wasn’t considerate enough.”

Song Fengwan bit her lip and didn’t say anything.

Malicious words could hurt people so much that they would even feel cold in summer. When some words were said and hurt people, it wasn’t something that could be resolved with a simple apology.

Song Fengwan packed her things and walked to the atelier without even eating. Just as she walked out of the school gates, she saw a familiar car…

And right beside the car was a familiar figure.

Fu Chen waved at her. Song Fengwan felt the tip of her nose sting and quickened her pace toward him.

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and saw that her eyes were slightly red.

He wished he could go up to hug her and kiss her…

But he was afraid of scaring her.
