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 fishing pole and turned the fishing reel. There was only an inch-long fish on the hook. When the fishtail swung, the shaken water soaked his clothes, but he didn’t 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 didn’t 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 fishing isn’t catching fish,” Jing Hanchuan said meaningfully, as if Fu Sinian was just a layman in his eyes.

“To put it simply, you’re bored,” Fu Sinian said concisely.

“I heard you’re bringing Miss Yu to meet your parents?”

Fu Sinian turned his head and looked at him.

“I’m 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 haven’t 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 family’s doorstep on her own accord? Unless I imitate the old man and snatch her.”

Her mother stopped talking.

Fu Sinian nodded. In his understanding, dating without the goal of marriage was playing hooligan. After confirming their relationship, he informed his parents.

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

“Do you know Miss Yu’s 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 didn’t 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 wasn’t interested in this, Jing Hanchuan guessed that Fu Sinian already knew.

“You know her identity and are still with her? She…” Jing Hanchuan didn’t know what to say. “She’s quite pitiful. She might really not know about the feud between your two families.”

“She doesn’t know,” Fu Sinian said firmly.

“But you know very well that it will be troublesome…”

“She’s just my girlfriend and has no other identity,” 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, they’ll definitely be furious. I like to see others anxious and jumpy, but they can’t do anything about it and can’t 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 relationship, 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 celebrity’s tone, she knew that she wasn’t here with good intentions the moment she blurted out,

“With a certain someone’s salary, I don’t think they can afford to spend here. They don’t 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 wasn’t 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 album and looked at the store assistant.

“Okay, please wait a moment.” The store assistant immediately ran out. Seeing that the situation wasn’t 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 store’s classic model. You’re giving them to your parents or elders, right? These two are really suitable.” The store assistant 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. “They’re not bad. Help me wrap them up.”

“…” The store assistant was in a difficult position.

“What? Did she say she wanted them?”

“No…” The store assistant 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 didn’t, wrap them up for me.” She signaled her manager to pay. Her manager, Sister Ling, and the group of assistants standing at the side were slightly embarrassed.

She was obviously here to bully her.

“Miss Yu, then…” The store assistant felt awkward.

“It’s alright. Since she likes them, just let her have them. I’ll choose again.” Yu Manxi didn’t want to argue with her.

She lowered her head and flipped through the album. She pointed at a small pair of ruyi and looked at Song Fengwan. “How about this?”

“They’re 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. Let’s hurry up and leave.” Her manager, Sister Ling, tugged at her arm.

Xia Yunong gritted her teeth and suddenly walked forward. “Yu Manxi, you’re really f*cking capable.

“You even dared to snatch my man.

“What did you just say…” Xia Yunong was furious. “Meet his parents? You’re really fast. You just hooked up with him, yet you’re 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.

“Heh—you’re buying things to meet his parents. Why don’t you take a look at your own status?” Xia Yunong sneered. “You managed to climb into a man’s bed just because you’re a little pretty…

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

“Is someone else’s man that good? You rushed to climb into his bed. You little bitch, do you have any shame?! Do you believe that I won’t 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 Fan’s girlfriend. The last time she had met him was the day after the incident at the station. He had never told her about his relationship problems, and she wasn’t interested either.

These two most likely have a relationship problem, and this crazy woman thinks that it’s my fault.

When she spoke of meeting his parents, she was talking about meeting Fu Sinian’s parents. It had nothing to do with Ning Fan’s parents. She was really crazy.

Song Fengwan had no idea about the inside story between them.?What does she mean by snatching 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 he’s actually a refined scum and worse than a beast?

Song Fengwan’s head suddenly swelled.

Fu Sinian was still fishing with Jing Hanchuan at the Jing residence when he suddenly sneezed twice. He thought it was the cold autumn wind, so he didn’t take it to heart.

…

The manager and store assistant didn’t expect to hear such explosive gossip and were dumbfounded.

“Yu Manxi, don’t f*cking pretend to be dead. You dare to be a mistress, yet you don’t dare to admit it?”

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

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

The assistants 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 album at her face.

“Yu Manxi!” Xia Yunong’s face was extremely painful from the blow.

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

“You’re still being self-righteous as the third party after snatching my man? If it wasn’t 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? You’re the only one closest to him.” Xia Yunong had already been wary of Yu Manxi and felt that she would ruin her relationship. 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 isn’t Fu Sinian. I knew it. He wouldn’t do such a thing.

Moreover, this man’s standards…

Aren’t they too bad?

“You’re 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 relationship.

“What does it have to do with you?” Yu Manxi held Song Fengwan’s hand. “Wanwan, let’s go.”

“What? You don’t dare to say it, or is there no such person at all?” Xia Yunong rubbed her face and suddenly reached out to pull her. “You’re guilty and still want to leave?”

“Xia Yunong!” Yu Manxi frowned. But she was afraid that Song Fengwan would be affected, so she shielded her behind her. “If you don’t believe me, go find Ning Fan yourself. You’re a public figure after all. Can you restrain yourself?”

“He’s not even answering my calls now. How am I going to find him? If not for you, you slut, how could we have gotten to this point?”

Yu Manxi smiled mockingly. “You didn’t really think that he would marry you, did you? What kind of background does the Ning family have? You’re not young anymore. Please don’t be so naive. You can’t enter the Ning family at all.

“Don’t you know how he feels about you?

“Isn’t it good for everyone to part on good terms? You’ve also gained a lot of benefits. You should stop when you’re ahead. Don’t 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 Yunong’s sore spot.

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

“Don’t stop me. Bitch, how clean can you be? Ning Fan found the place you live. Have the two of you never slept in it?”

Yu Manxi couldn’t 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 Fengwan’s 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 won’t be good if someone sees.” Sister Ling was burning with anxiety.

“She’s not afraid of being a mistress. What am I afraid…”

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

The surrounding assistants and store assistants were so frightened that they gulped.

“Xia Yunong, if you want to cause a scene, go find Ning Fan. Don’t be unreasonable with me. You’re a public figure, so I’m sparing you from public disgrace. Don’t embarrass 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 Fengwan’s condition.

“I’m fine.” Song Fengwan didn’t 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 didn’t react in time.

“How dare you…” Xia Yunong’s 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?”
