After Fu Chen got into the car, Shi Fang looked at him from time to time through the rearview mirror.

Although he looked gentle as usual, he could feel that Third Master was in a bad mood. He only knew that Fu Chen had been with Song Fengwan earlier, so he naturally thought that something had happened between the two of them.

“Third Master, did you quarrel with Miss Song?”

Fu Chen rubbed his phone. What is this girl doing? Why isn’t there any news?

“Actually, it’s normal to have conflicts when dating. You just have to coax her

more.

“Old Master and Old Madam have been husband and wife for so many years, and they often have arguments. How can there be overnight enmity between husband and wife?”

Fu Chen looked at him mockingly. “Shi Fang, have you ever been in a relationship?” “N-no.” Shi Fang cleared his throat. I do want to fall in love, but I’m busy earning money and don’t have time. I have to face Qian Jiang’s scowl when I go home all day. I don’t even have the mood to fall in love

“Are you qualified to teach me about dating?

Critical hit!

Shi Fang gritted his teeth. “Not qualified.” “The year is about to pass again. The company has a lot of things to do. You should stay in the company to work overtime on New Year’s Day.” Shi Fang wanted to cry. What did I say wrong? I wanted to be his confidante and comfort him, but all I got in return was the nightmare of working overtime

Even if you’re angry, you can’t vent it on me.

At this moment, Song Fengwan and Qiao Xiyan were discussing some of the photos of the collection she had taken at the auction previously.

“Are you and Fu Chen going out on New Year’s? When Qiao Xiyan entered the house, he saw the itinerary on the table.

“Yes.” Song Fengwan was flustered and uneasy, afraid that Qiao Xiyan would object and not let her go. “You’re already old enough to be in a relationship. Fu Chen is still okay.Qiao Xiyan held his carving knife in his hand and spoke reluctantly with a hint of hatred through gritted teeth.

Fu Chen was definitely one of the best among his peers. Being able to cook for Song Fengwan was already enough to impress Qiao Xiyan. At the very least, he had put in some effort.

He was around the same age as Fu Chen. Men at this age were all striving for their careers. The fact that Fu Chen was willing to spend time with her and even spend effort to please her was more important than giving her any expensive gift.

The two families knew each other very well. When he interacted with Fu Yuxiu, he didn’t like him much. His mother was too domineering, so he was a little too soft. Fu Chen was obviously different from him. When he was hit by Old Master Fu, he didn’t even lower his head and admit he was wrong

He appreciated this.

Qiao Xiyan rarely praised anyone, and he was her boyfriend, so Song Fengwan was naturally happy. “I won’t object to the two of you going out. You’re an adult now, so it’s not good for me to say too much. When you interact with each other, you have to know your limits and control yourself.”

Song Fengwan blushed. “I know.”

At the thought that he had personally sent Song Fengwan to Fu Chen’s house, Qiao Xiyan was still enduring his anger. I really wish I could sharpen my knives and teach Fu Chen a lesson.

After Qiao Xiyan arrived in the capital, Fu Chen naturally didn’t have many opportunities to interact with Song Fengwan.

Song Fengwan accompanied Qiao Xiyan to the antique market to shop for three or four days. She bought a jade tassel for Fu Chen and accompanied Qiao Xiyan to watch others stone gambling

Stone gambling was something that even gods couldn’t break. If you didn’t have superpowers or were extremely lucky, it was impossible to get good materials every time.

Qiao Xiyan wasn’t addicted to this. He only bought a few stones occasionally, and the results were naturally good and bad.

The process always made people’s hearts beat rapidly as they looked forward to the results. Song Fengwan watched by the side, and she could watch this all

day.

On Christmas Eve, Song Fengwan had an exam for an elective class. After the exam ended, Qjao Xiyan went to school to pick her up. Since he was here, the two of them would naturally go to the He residence to attend the filiation banquet.

The heating in the car was sufficient, so it was inevitable that he felt stuffy.

Qiao Xiyan parked the car at the entrance of the dormitory, walked to the trash can, and smoked.

After Song Fengwan finished her exam at four o’clock, she said that she wanted to go back to her dorm room to put away her books and change her clothes. It was already half past four. She was really good at dawdling. He couldn’t understand why girls took so long before going out. Because it was Christmas tomorrow, the festive atmosphere in school was strong

Qiao Xiyan tilted his head and puffed out a smoke ring. He saw a slightly familiar figure.

This is

Wu Yuxin. Since the plagiarism incident, where Wu Yuxin helped testify, her reputation in the school wasn’t as bad as before, and she had a good relationship with her roommates.

When the matter ended that day, the Qiao family had wanted to treat her to a meal, but she had declined.

Wu Yuxin also saw Qiao Xiyan. She hesitated for a moment before walking over to greet him. “Hello, Mr. Qiao.”

“Hello. Qjao Xiyan had always been polite and distant.

Wu Yuxin had experienced a lot in the past half a year and knew very well that she wasn’t worthy of Qiao Xiyan, so she naturally didn’t want to have anything to do with him. Today is Christmas Eve. This is for you.”

She was holding a bag of wrapped apples. They were obviously for giving away.

Qiao Xiyan was stunned for a moment as he watched her take out a few apples for him. ‘I don’t like apples.”

“You can give them to your wife and child.”

Qiao Xiyan’s hand trembled, and the cigarette fell. “Wife and child?” Wu Yuxin had interacted with the Qiao family before and had also checked on their family. Although the information online said that Qiao Xiyan was single, it was normal for such a big family to have secret marriages and children. She had never doubted Song Fengwan’s words.

“Okay, take them. They’re not worth much. Happy Christmas Eve.” Wu Yuxin gave him the apples and walked away with a smile.

Wife and child?

When did I get married? Wu Yuxin went to Song Fengwan’s dorm room and gave her a Christmas apple. Actually, even after the plagiarism incident, they would only greet each other when they met and didn’t interact much.

“Thank you.” Song Fengwan smiled and took the apple. Her table was already full of various packaged fruits. “I saw your cousin downstairs.” “I know. I’ll be down soon.” After Song Fengwan returned, she specially washed her hair and face, which took up some time.

She changed her clothes, put her high heels in her bag, and wrapped herself in a down jacket before running out. After getting into the car, she even shivered from the cold.

After all, she would be attending a banquet later, so she wasn’t wearing much on the inside and revealed a part of her ankles. The cold wind blew through, and it was bone-chilling,

“Cousin, Happy Christmas Eve.” Song Fengwan had specially brought an apple for Qiao Xiyan. But when she got into the car, she realized that he had a few apples in his car too. Just by looking at the packaging, she guessed that Wu Yuxin had given them to him.

Qiao Xiyan’s fingers tapped the steering wheel gently without saying a word. “You met Wu Yuxin, right? Why did she give you so many apples?” Song Fengwan didn’t realize that anything was wrong and even put her hands against the car vent to warm them. “Because I still have to give them to my uit b ild

Chapter comments on the chapter Song Fengwan stiffened and smiled bit

Chasing Strategy “You don’t know?”

Other than Song Fengwan, no one else could say such things to Wu Yuxin.

“Cousin, it’s getting late. Let’s go quickly.” Song Fengwan coughed twice. “I haven’t even gotten a girlfriend, yet a child actually popped out?” “It’s all because you have too many rotten people interested in you. That’s why I said it on purpose.” Song Fengwan bit her lip. She had already forgotten about this matter. “Besides, you’ll definitely have a child in the future.”

“If this kind of thing spreads, do you think I can still find someone?”

Song Fengwan lowered her head. “Wu Yuxin won’t tell anyone.”

“You only said this to her? Qiao Xiyan started the car and slowly drove out of the school.

“There’s one more,” Song Fengwan said timidly.

“There’s more?

“This time, I didn’t say that you had a child. I only said that you had a girlfriend.”

Qiao Xiyan sneered. “Girlfriend?”

He had never been in a romantic relationship, yet he even had a child for no reason. She was really impressive.

“It’s all because He Xi wants to woo you. I really don’t like her, so I could only resort to this.” The He family?Qiao Xiyan gripped the steering wheel tightly. “She believes it too?

“I said that Cousin-in-Law is overseas. Moreover, her carving skills are better than yours. She can’t investigate overseas anyway.” Song Fengwan suddenly felt that she was really smart. Qiao Xiyan sneered. Look at how capable she is “Cousin, when are you going to find me a cousin-in-law?” Song Fengwan was curious.

“Is love more interesting than carving? Qiao Xiyan asked. Song Fengwan was speechless. It isn’t unreasonable for him to be single for so many years. He holds stupid rocks all day and doesn’t go out to socialize. How could he get a girlfriend?

“Then, what kind do you like?” “You want to introduce me?”Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows.

“I’m just asking

“Someone with better skills than me,” he added. Song Fengwan’s lips twitched. He’s destined to live alone for the rest of his life.

When the car was about to arrive at the hotel where the He family was holding the banquet, the road was already very crowded. The He family had hired a lot of security to maintain order. Song Fengwan could see the hundred-meter-long red carpet from afar. Is their family holding a filiation banquet or an award ceremony? It’s so exaggerated

She took out her high heels from her bag and lowered her head to change her shoes. Qiao Xiyan caught a glimpse of the skin-colored thermal pants under her long skirt and chuckled. This girl sure knows how to keep warm

When the two of them reached the entrance of the hotel, it was around half past five. The sky was dark, the thick ink dying the city, and the cold wind blew, making people feel uneasy. The large LED signboard was broadcasting the promotional advertisements of the He Group the entire time. In order to promote their company, this family

was unscrupulous.

“Mr. Qiao, Miss Song.” The receptionist led them in

The reporters were all blocked outside, but the He Group had a specialized publicity department. Today, they would be broadcasting the entire filiation banquet live

The benefits would not go to others. The He family was vividly displaying their selfishness and greed to the fullest.

Song Fengwan walked in. The venue was decorated with champagne roses, looking romantic and dreamy. There was also a large photo of Yu Manxi. The He family was receiving guests. Seeing the two of them coming, He Maozhen and his wife hurried over to greet them.

“Welcome…”

“Congratulations.” Qiao Xiyan had always been succinct.

“Thank you for coming! Shiqing, come and entertain Young Master Qiao and Miss Song” As the hostess, Zou Li immediately called her daughter over.

She still wanted them to get to know each other well. With many connections, there would be more paths. “Mrs. He, go ahead. You don’t have to entertain us. With that, Qiao Xiyan led Song Fengwan in, obviously unwilling to interact much with them.

“The Qiao family seems to be born with bad tempers. His grandfather was a toughnut to crack. I didn’t expect his grandson to be so difficult to deal with too,” He Maozhen couldn’t help complaining,

“They’re here to attend the banquet, but they’re actually empty-handed. The Qiao family’s upbringing is only so-so.” Zou Li was speechless.

“His family doesn’t have much manners to begin with. Back then, his grandfather had a weird temper too. Everyone said that he was unique. I think he just had no manners.”

After all, it was a filiation banquet, so it was considered a happy occasion. Almost all the guests who came to congratulate them had brought gifts. Very few people came empty-handed.

Actually, Qiao Xiyan had really prepared a congratulatory gift, but Song Fengwan said directly, “There’s no need to bring a gift. We’re just going to watch a show. It’s useless even if we bring one. If the gift is taken away by the He family in the end, we’ll benefit them for nothing.”

Qiao Xiyan knew very well that this filiation banquet wasn’t that simple. “Alright, stop talking. Guests are here.” Zou Li poked her husband and told him to stop talking

“Master, Madam, Eldest Miss is here.” Someone ran in.

He Maozhen was overjoyed. Wearing only a thin suit, he went out to welcome the cold wind. Ever since he was going to hold the filiation banquet, he had invited Yu Manxi home many times, but she had refused. This made him suspect that she would stand him up on the day of the banquet.

But Yu Manxi said firmly, “I will definitely go on the day of the filiation banquet.” Only then did he feel relieved.

“Shiqing, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and come out with me to meet your sister.” He Maozhen looked slightly sullen when he saw He Shiqing standing in a daze.

“Okay.” He Shiqing lifted her skirt and walked out.

As soon as they reached the entrance, they saw Yu Manxi getting out of a car. She was wearing a down jacket as she walked in with Fu Sinian.

He Maozhen had specially prepared a red gown for her. She wasn’t wearing it, but she was wearing black. From head to toe, only the ring on her ring finger was shining. When she raised her eyebrows and looked at the He family at the entrance, she even narrowed her eyes and smiled.

The cold wind was raging… It made the He family feel cold all over.
