Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master’s Wife-Chasing Strategy - Chapter 327

Chapter 327: Third Master and Wanwan, Deceiving People Without Even Blinking

Before the Xiao family could recover from their shock, the sound of footsteps disrupted their thoughts.

When everyone regained their senses, Fu Chen had already stepped into the house under the lead of the Yan family.

Yan Zhihuan was still kneeling on the floor at this moment, and Xiao Jingan’s phone was being passed around by everyone. So she naturally had no chance to see the photos of Fu Chen. Originally, after hearing Xiao Jingan’s question, she was still gloating a little.

It turns out that Song Fengwan isn’t a good person in private either.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone enter the house. She turned around to look…

The approaching man was very tall and looked like a deity with the light shining down on him.

The broken teacups and porcelain pieces on the floor had yet to be cleaned. Fu Chen’s gaze swept across the floor calmly, and his eyes met Yan Zhihuan’s briefly. Then he walked past her lightly…

The faint sandalwood fragrance on his body was moist from the sea breeze, making people feel intoxicated.

He was dressed very casually in a white cotton shirt and black pants. He looked to be in his mid-late twenties, and his fingers were holding an agarwood prayer bead bracelet, with a hibiscus stone hanging down, looking warm and translucent.

He had a proud aura, but his body exuded a transcendent indifference.

The man who followed closely behind him was even more high-profile. Just his colorful shorts and flip-flops were enough to blind everyone’s eyes. He was lean and tall, and his skin was extremely fair.

He looked like peach blossoms in spring, clean and refreshing.

Yan Zhihuan had never seen such people before and was stunned.

“Old Madam Yan, Mr. Yan, Aunt Yun.” Fu Chen greeted them one by one. His gaze landed on Song Fengwan, and he smiled.

Duan Linbai stood at the side, speechless.

There are so many people here. Why are you two playing tricks?

How shameless.

“This is…” Xiao Nan still couldn’t believe it.

Fu Chen said directly, “Hello, I am Fu Chen.”

When people reached a certain status, they didn’t need all kinds of false names and titles. Just a name was enough.

Xiao Nan’s face instantly paled. His gaze turned to his son. How could Xiao Jingan not be scared out of his wits? His gaze met Fu Chen’s for a short moment.

Perhaps because Fu Chen believed in Buddhism, his gaze was extremely gentle. But when his eyes met Xiao Jingan’s without warning, the cold and chilling aura in his eyes frightened him so much that his entire body turned cold. Fu Chen was like a sharp dagger, and all of Xiao Jingan’s filthiness was exposed in front of him.

The next second, he looked away.

The temperature in Nanjiang was more than 30°C in this season. But he felt cold all over, and even his feet were cold.

There were many rumors about Fu Chen. They all said that he was a Buddha and a demon, and he was the coldest and the most heartless. He had invested in building a company and was doing very well. Because he was Old Master Fu’s third son, and Old Master Fu had long retired from the frontlines to an advisory post, when many people heard about Third Master Fu…

They always subconsciously brought to mind an image of a forty to fifty-year-old man.

He looked…

… too young.

Duan Linbai coughed twice. Why isn’t anyone asking me my name? Are they just ignoring me like that?

“Third Master, Big Brother Duan, please sit.” Song Fengwan got up and greeted them.

“Little…” Duan Linbai cleared his throat. “Little Sister, you’re too polite.”

F*ck, I almost f*cking called her Little Sister-in-Law.

Fortunately, I’m smart.

Little Sister? Fu Chen glanced at him. Why doesn’t this fellow go to heaven?

Song Fengwan got goosebumps all over her body.

“I’m really sorry to call you two over so late.” Old Madam Yan greeted the two of them with a smile.

“Wanwan said that it’s an emergency. What exactly is it?” Fu Chen pretended not to know.

Mother Huang had already brought tea for the two of them. Duan Linbai smiled and thanked her. He took the tea and took a sip before sitting at the side calmly and preparing to watch the show.

“The main thing is that I want to ask you two something.” Qiao Aiyun coughed twice. “Did you meet Wanwan a few days ago?”

“Yes.” Fu Chen nodded. “I just arrived in Nanjiang. I knew you were busy with your marriage recently, so I didn’t disturb you. I just asked Wanwan to go out for a gathering.”

“She came back a little late that day. I wanted to send her over, but she refused. Did she call me over tonight because of this?”

Fu Chen’s words were always logical and clear. Even when he came to Nanjiang, he never disturbed Qiao Aiyun. His words made people feel comfortable and appropriate.

Before Xiao Jingan could react, Xiao Nan kicked him. “You bastard! You still have the cheek to stand? Kneel down!”

“Ahh, stop hitting him…” When Mrs. Xiao saw her son being hit, her heart ached, and she felt anxious.

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes. “What’s the matter?”

“Actually, it’s nothing serious. He just sent someone to follow me and take photos of the three of us. He’s insisting that there’s something going on between us.” Song Fengwan sat beside him and explained obediently and gently.

“Huh?” Fu Chen lifted his eyelids and looked at Xiao Jingan.

“You bastard! Why are you still standing?!” Xiao Nan was furious.

Song Fengwan continued, “It’s nothing to me. I’m mainly afraid of affecting your reputation.

“When I was in Beijing, you guys took good care of me. I merely treated you two to a meal, but he made up a story that you might be in an improper profession, which was why I treated you…

“He even said that Big Brother Duan is so fair and pretty that he might be in that profession.”

“Pfft—” Duan Linbai was drinking tea when he was caught off guard and almost spat out his tea. “Ahem…”

He choked and coughed twice. He reached out to take off his goggles and wiped the tea stains on them. “Say that again. What did he say I did?”

Duan Linbai usually wore goggles recently, so people couldn’t see his face clearly. But now that he took them off, his recognizable face was exposed.

Xiao Jingan already wanted to die. It’s fine if you wear goggles outdoors. But there are even people who wear goggles to eat in restaurants to show off?

If this person was Duan Linbai, it seemed reasonable…

“That thing,” Song Fengwan whispered softly.

Duan Linbai put on his goggles and rushed straight to Xiao Jingan. “Do you mean that I work as a host…”

“I didn’t…”

“Everyone heard it. If you don’t believe me, you can ask.” Song Fengwan bit her lip.

“Do you believe that I’ll smash your head? Does it concern you that a man is good-looking? You even took photos secretly. Where are the photos?!” Duan Linbai was a drama king to begin with, so he naturally pretended not to know.

Qiao Aiyun had thrown his phone earlier, and it had hit the floor, so the screen was slightly cracked.

Duan Linbai picked up the phone, grabbed Xiao Jingan’s finger, and forcefully unlocked it. He had seen all the photos in it, so he wasn’t surprised upon seeing them.

“Young Master Duan…” Xiao Nan stood at the side, completely embarrassed.

Of all people to photograph, why did this involve two masters from the Beijing circle? Fu Chen and the others all knew that Duan Linbai was a troublemaker, arrogant and domineering.

And he was especially evil.

Duan Linbai flipped through the phone and threw a photo in front of Xiao Jingan. “Did you get someone to take this?”

“I…” Xiao Jingan couldn’t explain.

When Fu Chen and Duan Linbai appeared, everything he had said earlier was equivalent to nonsense. He couldn’t possibly say that Song Fengwan’s ‘adulterers’ were these two people, right? Wasn’t this courting death?

Song Fengwan quietly waited for Duan Linbai to flare up. She didn’t expect him to startle her the moment he spoke.

“Why do these pictures make me so ugly?!” Duan Linbai felt that even if he wasn’t earth-shatteringly good-looking, he was close. There were a few photos here that made him grimace. They were so ugly that they were unbearable.

Song Fengwan took a deep breath. This doesn’t seem to be the focus now.

Xiao Jingan was also dumbfounded. How am I supposed to answer this?

“And you still followed her? You’re very bold.” Duan Linbai held his phone and patted his face.

“I really wasn’t following her. I…” Xiao Jingan tried to explain, but he couldn’t find a suitable reason.

“You weren’t following her?” Fu Chen took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes at him. “Then, were you following me and Linbai?”

“Third Master, that’s definitely impossible!” Mrs. Xiao hurriedly explained.

“What? You followed Linbai and me, secretly took photos, and even slandered us. You have to give us an explanation for this, right?” Fu Chen’s tone was gentle, but it contained a sharp edge, compelling Xiao Jingan.

“Exactly. Do you know what secretly taking photos is?

“It’s illegal. Are you invading other people’s privacy and slandering me?

“I’ll call the police right now. You want to ruin my innocence?”

As Duan Linbai spoke, he took out his phone from his pocket.

“Young Master Duan!” Xiao Nan hurriedly stopped him. “I’ll get this bastard to apologize to you. Please be lenient.”

If he was caught and the matter spread, it wouldn’t be easy to settle.

“Why should I be lenient?” Duan Linbai’s tone was arrogant.

What he said made sense. Duan Linbai was unrelated to everyone present, so why should he forgive him?

Xiao Nan’s gaze landed on Song Fengwan. He grabbed Xiao Jingan’s arm and dragged him in front of Song Fengwan. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize.”

Xiao Jingan also knew the severity of the matter. Even though he was unhappy, he could only brace himself. “I’m sorry.”

“Who are you talking to?” Duan Linbai was speechless.

“Song Fengwan, I’m sorry.” Xiao Jingan had never felt so aggrieved in his life.

“And Third Fu.”

He bowed and bent his knees. From Fu Chen to Duan Linbai and then the Yan family, he apologized to them one by one. He kept bending down and was about to kneel on the ground.

“I’ll bring him back and definitely discipline him well.” Xiao Nan thought that this matter had come to an end, but he didn’t expect Fu Chen to speak suddenly.

“Did I say he could go back?”

“Third Master?” It was the first time Xiao Nan had interacted with him, so he couldn’t see through him.

“This is the first time I’ve been treated as an adulterer, and it’s the first time I’ve been followed and photographed secretly. You even said that I had an affair with Wanwan? What kind of people do you think Linbai and I are?”

Yan Wangchuan stood at the side with his arms crossed. This brat is used to lying through his teeth, yet he still has to drag someone down with him. Is this Duan brat lacking brains? He’s made a bad friend.

“Third Master, what do you think we should do?” The Xiao family couldn’t afford to offend any of the families here.

“I think that Young Master Xiao’s apology isn’t very sincere. He seems quite aggrieved. We don’t have any grievances in the past, nor do we have any recent grudges. Don’t say that I’m bullying others. Just hand this matter to the police. Following people and taking photos secretly, you’ve violated people’s privacy. There has to be an explanation.”

The Xiao family was dumbfounded.

Duan Linbai stood at the side and tried his best to hold back his laughter. If you wanted to call the police, you should have said so earlier. This brat bent down to apologize to everyone and almost knelt. Now you’re saying that you won’t accept the apology? Aren’t you intentionally messing with him?

“Old Madam, President Yan…” Mrs. Xiao had no choice but to seek help from the Yan family. “Wanwan, I’m begging you. Say something.”

Song Fengwan bit her lip. “Since Big Brother Jingan has already apologized, he definitely knows his mistake. But I really can’t do anything about what Third Master and Big Brother Duan think. I’m just a child. How can I meddle in the affairs of adults?”

Duan Linbai suppressed his laughter. You two, continue to act and play people like monkeys.

“Are you going to turn yourselves in, or do you want me to call the police? You can choose.” Fu Chen had never known them before, let alone had any friendship with them. Naturally, he had no scruples.

“Third Master…” Just as Mrs. Xiao was about to plead for mercy, Xiao Nan stopped her.

It was Xiao Jingan who had offended Fu Chen. He had already given them a lot of face by not calling the police directly, so it was only right for him to pay the price. If the Xiao family went to the police station themselves, they could at least hide it from the outside world and not be too embarrassed.

“Thank you, Third Master. We’ll go ourselves.” Xiao Nan gritted his teeth and patted Xiao Jingan. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize to Third Master!”

Xiao Jingan was really aggrieved to death tonight.

Everything was going fine. Why did people from the capital suddenly appear?

It’s not the holiday season. Why are these two here in Nanjiang?

The Xiao family apologized repeatedly before leaving.

…

Yan Zhihuan was dumbfounded. Everyone’s left. What will I do?

“Grandma…” Yan Zhihuan crawled on her knees and tried to approach Old Madam Yan.

“Mother Huang, get someone to throw this shameless thing out immediately!” Old Madam Yan was furious. “You rushed to throw yourself at someone. You’re really giving our Yan family face!”

“I was wrong. I was really wrong…” How could Yan Zhihuan have known that things would develop to this point?

“You still wanted to push the responsibility to Wanwan? Shameless!” Old Madam Yan suddenly stood up and waved her cane at her. “You like Xiao Jingan so much that you don’t even want your face anymore!”

No one stopped Old Madam Yan from reprimanding her.

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Zhihuan. He had investigated her situation and knew her background very well.

This matter with Xiao Jingan had already angered him to begin with. He had arranged to meet Song Fengwan privately and even got someone to take pictures. He deserved to be punished. Yan Zhihuan being able to take the initiative to give herself to him meant that she had deep feelings for him.

Fu Chen fiddled with his bracelet and suddenly smiled…

Why not fulfill their wish?

“Your prayer bead bracelet is made of agarwood.” Qiao Aiyun’s gaze landed on his hand.

“Mhm.” Fu Chen nodded.

“Did someone give it to you?”

Song Fengwan’s heart skipped a beat, and her face paled in fright. Mom isn’t that amazing, right? Can she tell?

“How do you know?” Fu Chen wasn’t afraid, and his expression was calm.

“You can tell from the tassel that a novice made it.” Qiao Aiyun raised her eyebrows. The tassel is too ugly. For Fu Chen to treasure it so much, it obviously wasn’t given to him by an ordinary person.

What kind of girlfriend did Fu Chen find? She had a bad temper, liked to bite, and had clumsy hands.
