Chapter 381: You Asked for It

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The cool autumn wind blew slowly, stirring the dead branches and yellow leaves on the pond, making the pond water ripple.

Jing Hanchuan picked up the fis.h.i.+ng pole and turned the fis.h.i.+ng reel. There was only an inch-long fish on the hook. When the fishtail swung, the shaken water soaked his clothes, but he didnt care.

He took the fish, placed it in a bucket, and got someone to release it.

You caught it and let it go? Fu Sinian was sitting beside him, his calm eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.

To him, since the fish was caught, there were other uses for it, even if he didnt kill it or steam it. He had fished for so long just to release it? No wonder the fish in the Jing residence pond kept increasing instead of decreasing, and he never finished catching them all.

The fun of fis.h.i.+ng isnt catching fish, Jing Hanchuan said meaningfully, as if Fu Sinian was just a layman in his eyes.

To put it simply, youre bored, Fu Sinian said concisely.

I heard youre bringing Miss Yu to meet your parents?

Fu Sinian turned his head and looked at him.

Im not interested in digging into your privacy. Your family knows about it. Old Madam Fu mentioned it to my mother, and she called to tell me.

It was a disguised form of urging him to get married.

The first thing she said was, Even Fu Sinian can find a girlfriend. Why havent I heard anything from you yet?

Jing Hanchuan replied, His girlfriend came to him on her own accord. Who do you think will come to our familys doorstep on her own accord? Unless I imitate the old man and s.n.a.t.c.h her.

Her mother stopped talking.

Fu Sinian nodded. In his understanding, dating without the goal of marriage was playing hooligan. After confirming their relations.h.i.+p, he informed his parents.

It happened to be Old Master Fus birthday, and they were going back to the capital, so they naturally wanted to see Yu Manxi.

Do you know Miss Yus background? Are you sure you want to bring her back? There might be a lot of trouble waiting for you, Jing Hanchuan reminded.

How do you know? When Fu Sinian asked Fu Chen to investigate Yu Manxi for the first time, Fu Chen had suggested that he look for Jing Hanchuan for help, but he didnt look for him.

Your third uncle asked me to investigate the Huai Sheng incident some time ago. He suspected that someone was adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes. I found out about that family and naturally found out about her.

Seeing that he wasnt interested in this, Jing Hanchuan guessed that Fu Sinian already knew.

You know her ident.i.ty and are still with her? She Jing Hanchuan didnt know what to say. Shes quite pitiful. She might really not know about the feud between your two families.

She doesnt know, Fu Sinian said firmly.

But you know very well that it will be troublesome

Shes just my girlfriend and has no other ident.i.ty, Fu Sinian interrupted.

Jing Hanchuan lowered his head and ate the strawberries. If you need help, just tell me.

Would you be so kind?

If that family finds out that the daughter they lost in the past is marrying you, theyll definitely be furious. I like to see others anxious and jumpy, but they cant do anything about it and cant do anything to me. How interesting is that?

Fu Sinian sneered. He really has a terrible hobby.

Jing Hanchuan suddenly realized that falling in love was indeed not easy. For these two men of the Fu family, one of them was in an underground relations.h.i.+p, while the other had a pile of hidden troubles

This strawberry is indeed sweet.

At this moment, in the Jade Hall of Spring branch in Beijing

When Song Fengwan heard the female celebritys tone, she knew that she wasnt here with good intentions the moment she blurted out,

With a certain someones salary, I dont think they can afford to spend here. They dont have much money, yet they still pretended to be rich and entered the VIP room?

Her eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously looked at Yu Manxi.

This female celebrity was called Xia Yunong. She had been acting in many TV dramas recently, but her acting skills were mediocre, and the dramas were used to hype her. There were also rumors that she had a sugar daddy supporting her.

In short, her reputation wasnt good.

After she said that, the atmosphere in the VIP room instantly became awkward.

Please help me take this pair of jade pendants. I want to take a look. Yu Manxi pointed at a picture in the alb.u.m and looked at the store a.s.sistant.

Okay, please wait a moment. The store a.s.sistant immediately ran out. Seeing that the situation wasnt right, she called the manager over while taking the jade pendants.

After Yu Manxi saw the jade pendants, be it the quality or the design, they were both good. It was just that they were slightly expensive. She still had savings, so she could afford them.

This is our stores cla.s.sic model. Youre giving them to your parents or elders, right? These two are really suitable. The store a.s.sistant had sharp eyes. From the style she chose, she could basically confirm the age of the gift recipients.

Please help me

Let me see. Xia Yunong suddenly reached out her hand and took the pendants from the box. She sized them up in her hand. Theyre not bad. Help me wrap them up.

The store a.s.sistant was in a difficult position.

What? Did she say she wanted them?

No The store a.s.sistant was speechless. It was really in poor taste to compete like this. They were something she had chosen, so it was obvious she liked them.

Xia Yunong chuckled. Since she didnt, wrap them up for me. She signaled her manager to pay. Her manager, Sister Ling, and the group of a.s.sistants standing at the side were slightly embarra.s.sed.

She was obviously here to bully her.

Miss Yu, then The store a.s.sistant felt awkward.

Its alright. Since she likes them, just let her have them. Ill choose again. Yu Manxi didnt want to argue with her.

She lowered her head and flipped through the alb.u.m. She pointed at a small pair of ruyi and looked at Song Fengwan. How about this?

Theyre pretty good. Song Fengwan was a little angry. This woman is too arrogant.

Xia Yunong had provoked her, but there was no reaction at all. She instantly flew into a rage.

Yunong, we still have an announcement later. Lets hurry up and leave. Her manager, Sister Ling, tugged at her arm.

Xia Yunong gritted her teeth and suddenly walked forward. Yu Manxi, youre really f*cking capable.

You even dared to s.n.a.t.c.h my man.

What did you just say Xia Yunong was furious. Meet his parents? Youre really fast. You just hooked up with him, yet youre already thinking of going to his house.

Yunong, stop talking. There are a lot of people outside. Sister Ling was afraid that the matter would blow up, so she reached out her hand and pulled her.

Hehyoure buying things to meet his parents. Why dont you take a look at your own status? Xia Yunong sneered. You managed to climb into a mans bed just because youre a little pretty

Youre most likely having an affair with the director of your station. Why are you pretending to be virtuous?

Is someone elses man that good? You rushed to climb into his bed. You little b.i.t.c.h, do you have any shame?! Do you believe that I wont let you survive in this circle?

The moment Yu Manxi heard what she said, she knew that there was a misunderstanding.

Xia Yunong was Ning Fans girlfriend. The last time she had met him was the day after the incident at the station. He had never told her about his relations.h.i.+p problems, and she wasnt interested either.

These two most likely have a relations.h.i.+p problem, and this crazy woman thinks that its my fault.

When she spoke of meeting his parents, she was talking about meeting Fu Sinians parents. It had nothing to do with Ning Fans parents. She was really crazy.

Song Fengwan had no idea about the inside story between them. What does she mean by s.n.a.t.c.hing her man? The first man that popped up in her mind was Fu Sinian.

Is he the sugar daddy behind this female celebrity? A kept female celebrity?

How is this possible?

Could his solemn and reserved appearance be all an act, but hes actually a refined sc.u.m and worse than a beast?

Song Fengwans head suddenly swelled.

Fu Sinian was still fis.h.i.+ng with Jing Hanchuan at the Jing residence when he suddenly sneezed twice. He thought it was the cold autumn wind, so he didnt take it to heart.

The manager and store a.s.sistant didnt expect to hear such explosive gossip and were dumbfounded.

Yu Manxi, dont f*cking pretend to be dead. You dare to be a mistress, yet you dont dare to admit it?

Yu Manxi tightened her grip on the alb.u.m in her hand and suddenly stood up. She raised her hand and threw the thick alb.u.m directly at her face

The alb.u.m was half an inch thick, and the paper was thick. Xia Yunong hastily retreated and almost fell. The alb.u.m slammed into her face, and a scream rang out. Her face was bright red from the impact.

The a.s.sistants at the side were all dumbfounded.

Because she was very popular recently, everywhere she went, she was always the center of attention. This Host Yu was too bold. She directly threw the alb.u.m at her face.

Yu Manxi! Xia Yunongs face was extremely painful from the blow.

If you spout nonsense again, I wont just hit you with a book. I warned you before not to provoke me. Otherwise, I wont be polite. Yu Manxi had a conflict with her before.

Youre still being self-righteous as the third party after s.n.a.t.c.hing my man? If it wasnt for you, how could Ning Fan have broken up with me?!

Yu Manxi sneered. What does your stupid matter have to do with me?

You and he are about to meet his parents, so how can it have nothing to do with you? Why are you pretending? Youre the only one closest to him. Xia Yunong had already been wary of Yu Manxi and felt that she would ruin her relations.h.i.+p. So once something happened, she would definitely find her.

But when she overheard that she was going to see his parents, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and she lost control.

Song Fengwan suddenly understood. So this man isnt Fu Sinian. I knew it. He wouldnt do such a thing.

Moreover, this mans standards

Arent they too bad?

Youre crazy. I have my own boyfriend. Ning Fan and I have nothing between us. Yu Manxi only felt that this woman was really brainless. How did this fool Ning Fan cause me such trouble?

Who is your boyfriend? What is his name? Is there really such a person? Xia Yunong firmly believed that she was the third party who had ruined her relations.h.i.+p.

What does it have to do with you? Yu Manxi held Song Fengwans hand. Wanwan, lets go.

What? You dont dare to say it, or is there no such person at all? Xia Yunong rubbed her face and suddenly reached out to pull her. Youre guilty and still want to leave?

Xia Yunong! Yu Manxi frowned. But she was afraid that Song Fengwan would be affected, so she s.h.i.+elded her behind her. If you dont believe me, go find Ning Fan yourself. Youre a public figure after all. Can you restrain yourself?

Hes not even answering my calls now. How am I going to find him? If not for you, you s.l.u.t, how could we have gotten to this point?

Yu Manxi smiled mockingly. You didnt really think that he would marry you, did you? What kind of background does the Ning family have? Youre not young anymore. Please dont be so naive. You cant enter the Ning family at all.

Dont you know how he feels about you?

Isnt it good for everyone to part on good terms? Youve also gained a lot of benefits. You should stop when youre ahead. Dont keep pestering him. It makes you look bad.

Do you really like him, or do you like the resources he can give you? Everyone knows. You two were just playing around with each other. Why are you pretending to be infatuated now?

Her words directly hit Xia Yunongs sore spot.

She raised her hand to hit her, but her manager and a.s.sistants stopped her. After all, she was a public figure, and her image was more important than anything else

Dont stop me. b.i.t.c.h, how clean can you be? Ning Fan found the place you live. Have the two of you never slept in it?

Yu Manxi couldnt be bothered to argue with this lunatic. Seeing that she was stopped by her manager, she pulled Song Fengwan away.

Somehow, Xia Yunong managed to break free. But instead of pulling Yu Manxi, she grabbed the strap of Song Fengwans bag.

With a strong tug, Song Fengwan lost her balance and staggered, almost falling to the floor.

Ah She cried out in alarm. Thankfully, Yu Manxi moved fast and supported her arm.

Yunong, stop making trouble. There are a lot of people outside. It wont be good if someone sees. Sister Ling was burning with anxiety.

Shes not afraid of being a mistress. What am I afraid

Xia Yunongs tone was grating. Yu Manxi took two steps forward and slapped her hard, making her dumbfounded.

The surrounding a.s.sistants and store a.s.sistants were so frightened that they gulped.

Xia Yunong, if you want to cause a scene, go find Ning Fan. Dont be unreasonable with me. Youre a public figure, so Im sparing you from public disgrace. Dont embarra.s.s yourself further.

Xia Yunong saw stars from the slap and forgot to react.

Wanwan, are you okay? Yu Manxi reached out her hand to check Song Fengwans condition.

Im fine. Song Fengwan didnt expect that Xia Yunong, a public figure, would pull her like a crazy woman in a place like this. She had been caught off guard and didnt react in time.

How dare you Xia Yunongs face was ashen, and her breathing was heavy.

Even if Ning Fan was here today, I would have dared to slap him if he said those words to me, let alone you. So what if I hit you?

You asked for it. How can I not satisfy you?
