nThe matter of Huai Sheng’s biological parents had finally come to an end, but it had pushed the entire Fu family to the center of attention. But the Fu family was strict. Other than being in-laws with the Sun family, the only thing people could discuss was Fu Yuxiu breaking off his engagement and getting together with an illegitimate daughter.

n***

nBeijing University’s dormitory…

nHu Xinyue had set up a small table on her bed and was sitting cross-legged while watching videos and the news. “Did you see the gossip about the Fu family online?”

nSong Fengwan had just returned from showering and was drying her hair with a towel. “What?”

n“Just the son of the second son of the Fu family. Why doesn’t this fool want a legitimate young lady but like an illegitimate daughter instead?” Hu Xinyue chewed on potato chips, making crunching sounds.

n“Do you think it was a scheme? Is that girl that beautiful?

n“How can it be so coincidental? It’s not like it’s TV. That girl must have deliberately seduced him. Only a moron would fall for it.”

nSong Fengwan chuckled. “He’s indeed stupid.” She picked up the cup of coconut milk on the table and took a sip.

nFortunately, these media outlets all used aliases for them, not daring to name them directly. Otherwise, Fu Chen would have been exposed.

n“Speaking of which, there’s a rumor here…” Hu Xinyue pinched the potato chips and kept sending them into her mouth. “It says that Old Master Fu once argued with someone and angered them to death.”

n“Do you think he’s Zhuge Liang? How can anyone anger someone to death with his words?” Miao Yating teased.

nHu Xinyue pointed at her laptop. “That’s what the internet says. It’s reasonable and valid. They just didn’t say who that person was.”

nSong Fengwan had never heard of this before. But among the Fu family members she had interacted with, apart from Fu Yuxiu, who was silly and naive, everyone else was not to be trifled with. Fu Chen had personally been taught by Old Master Fu, and he was already so devious and amazing. Old Master Fu…

nHe was definitely an old fox who had cultivated for thousands of years.

n“And this Third Master Fu…” Hu Xinyue didn’t know what to say.

n“What’s wrong with him?” Miao Yating had just washed her clothes and was wiping her hands while looking at her.

n“The internet says that he’s almost thirty and has never been in a relationship. Is that true? Is this man impotent?!”

n“Pfft—” Song Fengwan spat out a mouthful of coconut milk.

nHu Xinyue looked serious. “I’m serious. Look. According to the analysis online, he… F*ck!” She was so surprised that she almost overturned the table.

n“What are you doing?” Miao Yating frowned.

n“Why are there a bunch of people online saying that he and our Linbai are a couple? Our Baibai is even the bottom. F*ck, I don’t accept it…” Hu Xinyue exploded. She had been following Duan Linbai for a long time, but mostly through Weibo. Even though she had entered his fan group, gossip like this was naturally not allowed in the group chat.

nSong Fengwan held back her laughter. “Hasn’t this gossip about them been around for a long time? There are a lot of people who ship this couple. You don’t accept this?”

n“No, our Baibai is so tough and manly. He must be the top!” Hu Xinyue suddenly shouted. “How can he be the bottom…”

nSong Fengwan was about to say something when her phone vibrated. “Hello, Third Brother.”

nSeeing that she was on the phone, Hu Xinyue put on her earphones to watch videos and stopped talking.

n“What are you laughing about?” Fu Chen had just received the investigation information from Jing Hanchuan. His fingers were sliding on the touchpad of his laptop. He placed his phone aside and turned on the speakerphone. Qian Jiang was standing in the room and quietly waiting for his instructions.

n“I’m gossiping with my roommates.” Song Fengwan chuckled.

n“Huh?”

n“We’re talking about Third Master Fu’s and Duan Linbai’s offensive and defensive attributes. Xinyue said that Third Master should be the bottom…”

nFu Chen’s eyes instantly tightened. Qian Jiang took a step back. Miss Song really dares to say anything.

n“Hu Xinyue. I remember that she ate half a pot of spicy boiled fish that day. It won’t be easy for her boyfriend to raise her in the future.”

nFrom the corner of her eye, Song Fengwan saw that Hu Xinyue was still munching on chips and couldn’t help laughing. My Third Master is really a typical vengeful person.

n“Do you talk about this sort of stuff in your dorm room when you have nothing to do?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

n“We talk about all sorts of things.”

n“You didn’t help me clarify?”

n“Clarify what?” Song Fengwan couldn’t possibly tell them directly that Third Master Fu was her boyfriend, the Fu Chen they had met before. The two of them would definitely be scared to death.

n“Say that there’s nothing between Linbai and me, that I’m a man who only loves you.” Fu Chen’s voice was low and deep, sliding to that inch of ambiguity, making Song Fengwan’s ears burn slightly.

nQian Jiang lowered his head and stared at his toes. He had been secretly guarding Song Fengwan previously, so there were very few opportunities to contact this side of Fu Chen…

nI haven’t been around him like this for a long time, but…

nWhat happened to Third Master? His mouth is as sweet as honey, and he’s become good at coaxing young ladies.

nThe two chatted for a while more before Fu Chen asked Song Fengwan for her class schedule and hung up.

nNot long later, Jing Hanchuan called.

n“Hey.” Fu Chen’s voice was obviously not as pleasant and gentle as earlier.

n“Did you receive the information?” Jing Hanchuan had been provoked by Fu Chen today, so he came out to fish at night. His fingertips rubbed the fishing rod as the moonlight poured down on the cold night.

n“Got it.” Fu Chen had just finished browsing through it.

n“You guessed right. Although this family didn’t appear directly, they secretly added fuel to the fire. I didn’t expect them to still be thinking about your family after so many years,” Jing Hanchuan teased.

nEvery family had a few sworn enemies, and the Fu family was the same.

nFu Chen closed his laptop and remained silent.

n“Why was your line busy when I called you just now?”

n“I was on the phone with Wanwan. We chatted for a while. You called me many times?” Fu Chen teased.

nJing Hanchuan frowned. “I just wanted to confirm whether you received the information.”

n“Since you’re done confirming, I’m hanging up. Single dogs like you won’t understand some things.” Fu Chen laughed softly, his voice slightly annoying.

n“Even though you’ve met each other’s parents, you don’t have a public status. You’re not a single dog or a family dog. At most, you’re a wild man who can’t see the light. You’re just a wild dog.”

nFu Chen’s expression changed slightly as he hung up. He had put the call on speakerphone, so Qian Jiang had heard their conversation.

nThese two people are too sharp-tongued. Is it that fun to attack each other?

nJing Hanchuan suddenly laughed out loud. He finally got revenge for earlier today. He felt very comfortable.

nSo what if you have a wife?

nI have several ponds of fish.

nHe got up and put away his fishing rod.

n“Sixth Master, you’re back?” The person beside him was surprised. He had only been out for half an hour. He usually had to stay for two to three hours. After all, fishing required patience.

n“Is something wrong?” He turned his head to look at the man.

n“That’s not what I meant.” The man lowered his head and stopped talking.

nJing Hanchuan had only come out to fish at night because he had been provoked by Fu Chen. Now that he had stabbed him with a knife, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart. Why would he fish? Go home and sleep.

nOn another side, Duan Linbai had just finished eating with the people from the TV station. He got his assistant, Little Jiang, to send Yu Manxi home.

n“Little Boss, how are you going back?” Little Jiang was a little worried about him. He had drunk a lot tonight.

nThe TV station had made a tremendous mistake. Losing money was a small matter. The reputation impact was the most important. Later, the issue of compensation might come up, so the people from the TV station naturally curried favor with him and toasted him.

n“I’ll take a taxi.” There were many incidents of girls getting into accidents when they were alone at night. The Software Garden was in the suburbs, so Duan Linbai definitely couldn’t let Yu Manxi take a taxi home.

n“I’ll call a taxi for you.”

nAfter watching Duan Linbai get into the taxi, he instructed the driver and paid the bill before sending Yu Manxi back with peace of mind.

nThe taxi driver saw that Duan Linbai had drunk too much and was afraid that he would vomit, so he drove very slowly. “Sir, if you want to vomit, you have to tell me in advance.”

nDuan Linbai didn’t seem to hear him. He took out his phone and started looking for a certain number. His gaze landed on the ‘Blasted Woman’ line, and he dialed…

nXu Jiamu had just finished submitting her paper a few days ago, so it was rare for her to have an early night. Suddenly, her phone rang, and the demonic ‘Conquest’ song scared her so much that she jumped out of bed.

nShe thought that the professor was looking for her. When she saw that it was Duan Linbai, she frowned slightly and hung up.

nDuan Linbai narrowed his eyes. F*ck, how dare you hang up on me!

nAfter he called three times in a row, Xu Jiamu felt that she couldn’t turn off her phone because of him since her supervisor might look for her at any time, so she could only answer. “Hello.”

n“You… you…”

n“Why are you stuttering?” When Xu Jiamu heard his unclear words, she knew that he was drunk.

n“Try hanging up on me again. Let me tell you. I…”

nXu Jiamu was furious. Why does this person always like to harass me when he’s drunk?

nAfter confirming that he had nothing important to say, Xu Jiamu really hung up.

nDuan Linbai was utterly dumbfounded. You have guts. You really hung up.

n“Young man, did you quarrel with your girlfriend?” The driver smiled.

n“She…” Duan Linbai had a lot of things to say in his head. But his tongue was tied in a knot, and he couldn’t say anything. He was so angry that he was on fire.

nAfter this woman beat me up, she still pretends that nothing happened. Does she think that this debt is settled after almost a year has passed? I’m very vengeful.

nYour ruthless and unreasonable woman! Just you wait!

nEvery night when it was quiet and he was drunk, Duan Linbai would always think of this ‘unbearable’ past. Naturally, he would settle scores with Xu Jiamu.

n***

nAt the Software Garden condominium…

nLittle Jiang sent Yu Manxi to the elevator in the building. Yu Manxi stumbled and leaned against the wall. “Thank you…”

n“Do you really not need me to send you up?” Little Jiang had good intentions.

n“No need. Sorry to trouble you tonight.” Yu Manxi still had a shred of rationality left, but her body wasn’t listening to her.

n“Okay then. Good night.” When Little Jiang saw her enter the elevator, he thought that there shouldn’t be any problem, so he turned around and went back.

nMeanwhile, at the Beijing high-speed railway station, a high-speed train from Jinling was slowly approaching the station. Because Fu Sinian didn’t manage to buy a plane ticket, he took the train home. A colleague from the studio accompanied him.

nFu Sinian had dinner with a client tonight and had drunk some alcohol. Everyone wanted to keep him in Jinling and go back the next day, but he insisted on leaving, so they could only send someone to follow him.

nWhen the high-speed train arrived at the station, it was already past two in the morning. The man sent him to the entrance of the condominium and was sent back by him.

nFu Sinian only felt dizzy, but he still had mobility.

n“Boss, be careful.” The man watched Fu Sinian get into the elevator. When he saw the number jump to the 16 and stop, he yawned and called for a taxi to go home.

nWhen Fu Sinian arrived on the 16th floor, he first subconsciously looked at the door opposite his condo. The door was still tightly shut. When he turned his head again, he found someone sitting at his door. Yu Manxi was wearing the red chiffon shirt from today’s broadcast. Her face was flushed as she curled up and leaned against his door.

nHe frowned slightly, walked over, and looked down at her…

n“Yu…” His voice was hoarse, and his throat felt like it was on fire.

nYu Manxi had fallen asleep in a daze. When she heard the noise, she slowly opened her eyes and looked up. Her eyes were red from the alcohol, and she looked like a seductive vixen.

nShe was glistening and moving.

nShe propped herself with her hands on the door behind her with difficulty and tried to get up. But she had been sitting for too long, so her legs were numb and trembling. Even though she still had some consciousness, she couldn’t support her weak body.

nBefore she could straighten her back, her calves went numb, and her entire body rapidly slid down.

nFu Sinian’s eyes were red as he subconsciously reached out to hold her up. Her body was as soft as a puddle of water. He felt it was hot and scalding. As she breathed, some turbid air blew out…

n“Mr. Fu…” Yu Manxi’s voice was hoarse, and her body was almost glued to his.

nFu Sinian had never come into contact with the opposite sex like this before. His body was taut and extremely hard. Yu Manxi’s fingers subconsciously grabbed his clothes and called out to him softly.

n“Huh?”

n“I think I drank too much. Hehe~” She giggled softly. He’s on a business trip. How could he come back at this time?

n“Okay.” Fu Sinian frowned. Didn’t she have dinner with Duan Linbai tonight? She drank too much.

n“Thank you for today.” Yu Manxi planned to bow to thank him. When she lowered her head, she pressed it against his chest.

nFu Sinian didn’t say anything. At this moment, the sound of a cat scratching at the door came from next door. He turned his head slightly…

n“Don’t move.” Yu Manxi suddenly had the courage to grab his tie.

nFu Sinian’s neck instantly felt a little suffocated. When he turned his head, she said with a red face, “Look at me…”

nShe exerted force with her fingers, and he suddenly stepped forward, only to see a certain someone pouncing over…

n
