Chapter 151: Wanwan Becomes Angry, Third Master’s Intentions Are Exposed?
Inside the dessert shop…
Song Fengwan was slightly surprised to see Cheng Lan. The last time they had met was at the old Fu residence. At the time, she was chased out of the compound after being scolded by Old Madam Fu.
“Let’s talk.” Cheng Lan pointed at an empty table.
“What’s there to talk about between us?” Even though they had met before, this was the first time they had talked to each other.
Song Fengwan had witnessed all her evil deeds and the despicable methods she had used to help Jiang Fengya. She loathed Cheng Lan deeply.
She helped the wicked do evil and ended up causing her own family to fall apart.
“Don’t you want to know why I’m targeting you?” Cheng Lan rubbed the sungla.s.ses in her hand and walked straight to the table. “Please sit down.”
After all, this was a public place with many people pa.s.sing by. Song Fengwan wasn’t afraid and sat opposite her. The waitress came over to attend to them, and Cheng Lan asked for two cups of coffee.
“Just give me a gla.s.s of water.” Song Fengwan glanced at Huai Sheng. He was sitting diagonally across from them nearby and eating his dessert while looking at them.
Cheng Lan took off her coat and was only wearing a black sweater inside. She was a little thin to begin with, and after not seeing her for a long time, she was already skin and bones.
Her cheeks were slightly sunken, and her eyes were turbid. The dark circles under her eyes couldn’t be hidden even with her heavy make-up, and her lips were dry and cracked. When Song Fengwan met her previously, Cheng Lan was a fas.h.i.+onably dressed office lady. But at this moment, an aura of depression pervaded her.
She couldn’t hide the dejection coming from her bones.
Huai Sheng licked the cream on the spoon and tilted his head to look at the two people not far away. Why is the atmosphere weird?
***
After the waitress served the coffee and warm water, Cheng Lan put a few cubes of sugar in, stirred the coffee with a spoon, and raised her head to look at Song Fengwan.
She was young and pretty, and her fresh green sweater complemented her to look all the more beautiful and charming.
Cheng Lan had been taken away by the police for questioning, but she denied all the charges against her. The police had no evidence that she had instigated Cheng Tianyi, and although the reporter had a voice recording, the evidence would be too weak if they were to prosecute her.
After staying at the police station for an entire night, Cheng Lan was released on bail and immediately bombarded with scoldings everywhere.
The scoldings online made her seem as though she was hanging from a tree and anyone could whip her. All the harsh and hurtful words were forcing her to the verge of breaking down.
Her phone rang off the hook from hara.s.sers, and there was even trash and dirty water hurled at her house.
This was the first time she experienced actual cyber violence.
Luckily, it had snowed heavily in the capital last night, so those people finally stopped. She was obsessed with Fu Chen, so she came out without a destination and ended up walking to his office building. She hadn’t expected that she could see him, but when she saw Fu Chen’s car, Song Fengwan got out.
She was just going to a shopping mall, yet Fu Chen still stood by the car and gave her reminders for a long time.
It was a doting gentleness Cheng Lan had never seen before.
“Miss Cheng…” Song Fengwan raised her eyebrows.
“You’re really lucky. Tianyi found so many people, yet you only suffered some minor injuries.” Cheng Lan sneered.
Song Fengwan took a deep breath. “You mean last time in the parking garage…”
“Not only that, but even the parent of the student who went to find trouble with you was instigated by me!
“Why are you always able to escape from danger?” Cheng Lan stared at her, her eyes like a venomous snake.
“I just don’t understand what virtue and ability you have to be protected by Third Master like this!”
“You’re targeting me?” Song Fengwan was surprised. “So you helped Jiang Fengya cause such a big commotion before all because of me?”
“Jiang Fengya?” Cheng Lan sneered. “What thing is she? Is she worthy of my help?”
From beginning to end, she had always looked down on Jiang Fengya.
She had no idea what had gotten into Fu Yuxiu. There were countless socialites in the capital who wanted to get close to the Fu Family, yet he actually fell for an illegitimate daughter?
She was pretentious and unsightly.
Song Fengwan raised an eyebrow. “Cheng Tianyi’s matter was his own fault. Just because of this, you did all you could to take revenge on me?”
Apart from the Cheng Tianyi incident, she couldn’t think of how she had offended her.
“Hah—” Cheng Lan chuckled. “Cheng Tianyi?
“Don’t mention that idiot to me!” She slammed the table and directly stood up, shocking everyone around them and attracting their attention.
“That incompetent thing. With that kind of ability, he still wants to inherit the family business. My dad is really old and blind. He thinks that he’s definitely better than me just because he’s male.
“He only knows how to sit around and wait for death. He’s just a useless thing.”
Song Fengwan furrowed. “He’s your biological brother.”
“So what? In my eyes, he’s just a p.a.w.n. When he wanted to rape you before, I was the one who instigated him to do it. With that bit of courage of his, he’s scared to death of Third Master. How could he have dared to touch you?”
Song Fengwan gripped the cup in her hand tightly as the flames in her heart surged.
“It’s a shame he’s an idiot. You’re unharmed, yet he was bitten by a dog, and his hand was broken. He’s a disgrace.”
When Fu Chen had barged into her house and called the police, she was so agitated that she almost went crazy.
During this period of time, Fu Chen was still suppressing her family company, and he didn’t show any mercy at all. He was obviously trying to uproot her family.
Just for Song Fengwan?
“If it wasn’t because he didn’t succeed, why would I find Jiang Fengya?
“She was born with a cheap life, yet she still wants to climb up and thought that I really wanted to help her.”
Cheng Lan spoke crazily, and she had already lost her mind.
“It’s a pity that despite planning so much, in the end, you…”
Before she could finish speaking, Song Fengwan had already gotten up from her seat, raised her hand, and slapped Cheng Lan.
The sound of the slap was loud and crisp. The few waiters and waitresses who had been secretly observing were all shocked and wondered if they should go over to mediate the fight.
Huai Sheng bit his spoon and swallowed his saliva nervously. Big Sister is so fierce.
Cheng Lan’s ears were ringing. Her gums bled, and her mouth reeked of blood. She didn’t expect Song Fengwan to dare to hit her.
“Song Fengwan, you’re crazy! How dare you hit me?!”
Song Fengwan clenched her fists, and before Cheng Lan could react, she slapped her again.
This time, she was even more ruthless than the last time. Even her wrist was slightly numb from the impact.
“So what if I hit you?”
“Who do you think you are?! How dare you touch me?!”
Cheng Lan had the favor of the Fu family since she was young and had lived a comfortable life. Everyone had given in to her, and other than that time when she had been slapped by her father at the old Fu residence, no one had ever dared to hit her.
“You plotted against me and harmed me time and time again, yet you’re not letting me collect some interest?!” Song Fengwan narrowed her eyes. Her phoenix eyes were sharp and had a glint of fire in them, dazzling and intimidating.
After all, she was only 17 years old. Actually being hit by a young girl, Cheng Lan was furious and walked around the table, wanting to hit her.
She raised her arm and was about to slap it down when Song Fengwan clamped her wrist.
It wasn’t that she knew martial arts or had great strength, but it was just that Cheng Lan had been extremely thin these past few days. She barely ate and drank and didn’t have any strength at all.
With her wrist being restrained, Cheng Lan was shocked.
“You brat, let go of me!” Cheng Lan was exasperated.
Song Fengwan felt that Cheng Lan had no strength in her struggle, so she directly exerted force and pulled Cheng Lan in front of her, forcing the distance between them to close in. She then twisted her wrist and raised her arm high.
Everything happened too quickly. When the staff of the dessert shop wanted to stop her, Song Fengwan’s slap had already landed on Cheng Lan’s face…
A crisp sound rang out.
Cheng Lan’s brain was dizzy, and the side of her face was painful and numb, as if it had lost feeling.
“In your eyes, I am indeed nothing. But I won’t tolerate you humiliating me like this. We have neither grievance nor hatred between us. Are you scheming against me time and time again just because you don’t like me?”
Song Fengwan suddenly released her grip, causing Cheng Lan to be caught off guard and fall to the ground.
“You’re so arrogant just because you have something to rely on. Other than your family background, what are you?
“Look at how you’re living now after the Fu family broke ties with you. Are you still like a human?
“Wait, no. There’s no human as vicious as you. You’re simply…
“Unworthy of being a human!”
Cheng Lan felt a subtle pain in her tailbone from the fall. It was so painful that her scalp went numb, and she couldn’t speak for a long time.
She couldn’t find trouble with Fu Chen, so after seeing that Song Fengwan was alone, she wanted to vent her anger on her. Song Fengwan looked cute and harmless, but Cheng Lan didn’t expect her to be so ruthless.
“I don’t like you?” Cheng Lan was in so much pain that she couldn’t stand up, so she simply sat on the floor.
“Do you think you’re safe and sound after so many times because you’re really lucky?! That was just Third Master protecting you!
“If not for him secretly protecting you, would you be safe and sound?!
“Just what kind of ability do you have to deserve Third Master’s favor?!”
Cheng Lan yelled at her loudly. Her hair was messy, and she looked crazy.
“I live in his house, so it’s only right that he takes care of me more.”
“I’ve known him since we were children. Why doesn’t he take care of me?” Cheng Lan was exasperated.
“Song Fengwan, don’t you know that Fu Chen has taken a fancy to you?”
Her voice was so loud that it hurt people’s eardrums.
Song Fengwan looked down at her, stunned by her words, and her heart skipped a beat.
“Who doesn’t know that Third Master Fu looks kind on the outside but is ruthless on the inside? He doesn’t even treat his own nephew nicely. If he hadn’t taken a fancy to you, would he be so nice to you?
“Song Fengwan, he likes you!”
Third Master…
… likes me?
Huai Sheng licked the cream off the corner of his lips…
Third Uncle, what are you going to do?
I think you’re exposed…
I can’t help you this time.
