Chapter 266: Third Master’s Support: Your Sun Family Wants to Move Mountains
Sun Gongda never expected Feng Yi to dare to backstab him. He was enraged and ashamed from being beaten up by Yan Wangchuan.
Yan Wangchuan stretched out his fingers and clenched them tightly again. “Mr. Sun, what else do you have to say?”
“Feng Yi!” Sun Gongda shouted angrily, scaring Feng Yi so much that his heart was in his throat. He had just finished blurting everything out in one go, but now that he had used up all his strength, his entire body was limp.
“Even if you want to slander me, please do better.” Song Fengwan chuckled.
“First of all, Sun Rui and my meeting… Let’s put it as a chance encounter for the time being. She was the one who dragged me into the private room forcefully. Besides, I didn’t call Feng Yi over either. He’s her friend, not mine! Although we knew each other earlier, we don’t even have each other’s contact info.
“How did I get him to drug Sun Rui? Could it be through thought?”
“Yes, we’re not familiar with each other.” Feng Yi nodded vigorously.
“She said I framed her? Why should I target her? I’m in school every day, and my social circle is only so big. Why should I frame her like this? What’s the reason?
“Even if you want to slander me, please make it more sophisticated! It’s full of loopholes! I’m so embarrassed for you.”
Sun Gongda naturally knew that there were many loopholes in this matter. But as long as Feng Yi insisted that Song Fengwan was the culprit, who would pursue the details?
All the media focus would only be on her, and everything else could be handled afterward.
When the matter erupted, no one would care about the details. He just had to push Song Fengwan out to block the bullet.
“Let’s not talk about the drug for now. What about the reporters?! Didn’t you call them over?” Sun Gongda knew that Sun Rui was the one behind the drugged drink. If the media didn’t expose this issue and he covered it up, no one would pay attention to it.
Now, the entire city was in an uproar, and the news couldn’t be suppressed at all. In the end, this group of reporters was the cause of the problem.
“Reporters?” Song Fengwan’s expression was calm. “It has nothing to do with me.”
“Other than you, who else would dare to call reporters over? Those children who play with her don’t have the guts! You just want to ruin her reputation, right?
“Song Fengwan, let me tell you! If you really did this, I will never let you off even if I have to exhaust my Sun family!
“Even if you’re on good terms with the Fu family and have the Yan family’s protection, it’s still useless.”
Although Sun Gongda couldn’t pin the drug charge on her, he couldn’t leave in defeat like this.
“Heh—Where’s the evidence? How did I inform the reporters?” Song Fengwan chuckled.
“Mr. Sun, you have to watch your words!” Yan Wangchuan warned.
“Song Fengwan, you better not let me get hold of anything against you! If I find out that you truly ingratiated with others shamelessly for your personal gain and did something to Little Rui behind my back, I won’t let you off!”
Yan Wangchuan’s fingers tightened.
This was truly what it meant to be reluctant to admit even on the brink of death.
Because his plan fell through, he was even threatening her?
“Mr. Sun!” Old Madam Yan snapped in a deep voice. “Aren’t you being too arrogant and presumptuous with those words?”
“Not only is he being presumptuous, but I think that the Sun family wants to move mountains…” During the deadlock, a cool male voice broke the silence.
Song Fengwan’s heart was pounding wildly. As soon as she looked up, she saw Fu Chen push the door open and enter. Feng Yi hadn’t closed the door just now, saving Fu Chen the trouble of ringing the doorbell.
Sun Gongda’s breathing stopped. He never expected to meet Fu Chen here.
He was a god of plague.
He was young, yet he was very arrogant and had never shown him any respect.
“Why have you come?” Qiao Aiyun sighed. She always felt a little embarrassed whenever he encountered such things.
“I have some business to attend to here. It’s almost the new year, so I brought you some new year goods,” a certain someone said in apparent seriousness.
Song Fengwan pouted. He’s spouting nonsense.
He’s truly an actor. Continue pretending.
Yan Shaochen had never seen Fu Chen before and was still sizing up the person who had entered.
He was wearing a simple white shirt paired with a long black down coat. His entire body looked tall and lean, and he was wrapped in a cold aura. When he spoke, there was a wisp of burning mist coming out of his mouth, giving off a sense of depression and intoxication.
He looked young, but he exuded the calmness and vicissitudes of life after experiencing many things.
He looked gentle and kind, and he held a prayer bead bracelet in his hand like a devout believer.
When he spoke to Sun Gongda, he was extremely recalcitrant and didn’t put the Sun family in his eyes at all. He was wondering who this person was…
When he entered the house, the two people following behind him carried large and small bags of gifts into the house.
“It’s fine to come without anything. Why did you waste so much money?” Qiao Aiyun was a little embarrassed. “There’s something going on at home today…”
Yan Shaochen caught a glimpse of one of the people entering the house with the gifts. It turned out to be the cold-faced man he had seen before. Could he be…
“It’s fine.” Fu Chen smiled and greeted Old Madam Yan. “Old Madam Yan.”
“You are…”
“Fu Chen,” Fu Chen introduced. “I heard my mother mention you before, but I’ve never met you.”
“No wonder why you look so familiar. You look a little like your father,” Old Madam Yan said.
Yan Shaochen was dumbfounded. He looked at Song Fengwan, then at Fu Chen, and he seemed to be struck by lightning…
“I was listening at the door for a while. When something happened to Sun Rui, the Sun family was planning to get someone to give false testimony and accuse someone else. Do you know that threatening and ordering someone to give false testimony is obstruction of justice? If the circumstances are serious, you will be sentenced to jail.” Fu Chen looked at Sun Gongda.
“Fu Chen, don’t interfere in this matter. It has nothing to do with you.” Sun Gongda gritted his teeth. Why is Fu Chen here?
“Before threatening and slandering others, perhaps you should go back and ask your daughter what she did.” Fu Chen rubbed the prayer beads with his fingers.
“I know you had a conflict with Little Rui in the past, and you find her disagreeable to the eye. But Song Fengwan called reporters over. She’s clearly trying to humiliate our Sun family thoroughly!”
“How can you be sure that she called the reporters?”
Sun Gongda was so angry that he laughed. “Then, could Little Rui or Little Zhen have called them? They’re not fools. Why would they…”
“One thing was already very clear just now. It was Sun Rui who instigated someone to drug the drink. If Song Fengwan drank it, why couldn’t she inform the reporters?” Fu Chen retorted.
“Just now, he also said that the drugged drink was passed back and forth among a few people. Even he didn’t know who drank it in the end. If it was Wanwan or someone else, it would make sense that Sun Rui called the reporters to expose it.
“You’re her father. You should know your daughter’s character well.”
Fu Chen laughed lightly.
“Why would Little Rui want to ruin her?” Even if he was beaten to death, Sun Gongda had never thought that Sun Rui was the one who had called the reporters over.
He had been so anxious with concern that he had completely ignored this possibility.
But Fu Chen’s analysis was clear, and this possibility was very high.
“It’s not the first time she’s looked for trouble with Wanwan. Previously, she wanted to get close to me through Wanwan, but she was rejected. She even took photos of Wanwan and Linbai to threaten me. Second Sister-in-Law and I have already properly discussed this matter.
“Wanwan has no reason to harm her, but she has ample reason to frame Wanwan.
“Who exactly called to inform the reporters? Since you’re so capable, you can just go directly to the reporters to verify it. Or perhaps you should check who your daughter’s last few calls were made to, and you’ll naturally know the truth.”
Fu Chen’s grip suddenly tightened. “It’s understandable that you’re eager to protect your daughter, but if you slander others and attempt to interfere with the justicial system, even if your Sun family moves mountains, I’m afraid you’ll still be unable to bear the consequences!”
Fu Chen’s last sentence was a warning.
No matter how bold he was, he couldn’t openly break the law.
“Fu Chen, you…” Sun Gongda really suffered a tremendous setback this time.
Rumors spread like wildfire, and he wanted to stop the gossip as soon as possible. In today’s society, as long as the news was exciting enough, who cared about other details? This was why he was so anxious to push Song Fengwan out to be a scapegoat.
He had originally thought that with Feng Yi around, he would definitely have been able to bite Song Fengwan to death, threaten her, entice her, or give her some benefits. After all, in his impression, Song Fengwan was so obedient that she almost had no presence.
She looked easy to control.
Even though he knew that there were many loopholes in slandering her, he still steeled his heart and acted against this orphan and widow of the Qiao family.
Who would have expected…
Not only did he fail to threaten them, but he was also humiliated by the criticisms.
“Get lost now!” Qiao Aiyun pointed at the door. “Do you really need me to call the police to arrest you?”
Sun Gongda looked around the room of people and gritted his teeth. He glared fiercely at Feng Yi, flicked his sleeves, and walked out…
Song Fengwan heaved a sigh of relief. When her gaze met Fu Chen’s, she harrumphed haughtily and looked away.
Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at one side of her face. It was thoroughly red. His fingers rubbing the prayer beads paused slightly. Was she hit?
“Then…” Feng Yi finally came out from behind Yan Wangchuan. “I should go too. I…” he stammered, feeling extremely awkward.
“Shi Fang, send him off.” Fu Chen gave Shi Fang a look.
Feng Yi was so frightened that his legs went weak. “No need. I can go out by myself…”
“Let’s go. I’ll send you!” He was practically dragged out by Shi Fang.
…
Feng Yi walked out of the villa community in a daze. While walking, he was cursing Sun Gongda. “F*ck, he kidnapped me here and left without a backward glance. Is he f*cking planning to let me walk home?”
He opened a phone app and called for a private car. Before the car arrived, a police car arrived first.
“Feng Yi, right?” The police officer quickly got out of the car and walked to him.
“Officer, I…” Feng Yi wanted to cry. This night just won’t stop…
“Please make a trip back with us.”
***
On the way back, Sun Gongda really got someone to investigate those reporters. He never expected that it was really Sun Rui who had called them.
“Idiot!” Sun Gongda’s lungs were about to explode from fury. Since she’s the one who did everything, how dare she tell me that Song Fengwan harmed her?
She caused me to lose all face tonight.
But he was also reflecting on his impatience just now. He had been too worried and had neglected too many details. Moreover, he had underestimated Song Fengwan too much.
That girl…
… can’t be underestimated.
He returned to the hospital. But before he reached the door of the ward, the police stopped him.
“Mr. Sun, someone said that you threatened him to perjure himself and obstruct justice. Please come back with us to assist in the investigation.”
Sun Gongda narrowed his eyes.
Feng Yi, you…
… are ruthless.

At this moment, Sun Qionghua, who was far away overseas, was already asleep, and she hadn’t noticed the news in China at all.
A call came to the house and woke a servant up. She knocked on Sun Qionghua’s door. “Madam, Madam—”
Sun Qionghua had suffered at the Fu residence some time ago. During this period of time, her head hurt so much that she couldn’t fall asleep, and she took sleeping pills every night. Now that she was woken up, her head hurt so much that it felt as though it was about to split open.
“What’s the matter?!” She opened the door roughly.
“It… it’s Mrs. Sun calling. She said there’s something very urgent.” The servant knew that she had been very angry recently. If it wasn’t an emergency, she wouldn’t have dared to disturb her.
“Okay.” Sun Qionghua slammed the door shut and returned to her room to check her phone, only to see that her phone was almost exploding with calls. She pinched the space between her eyebrows and called back. The call connected almost instantly. “Hello, Sister-in-Law—”
“Qionghua, you have to save your brother…”
“What happened to my brother?”
“He was arrested…”
After Sun Qionghua heard what had happened, her head hurt even more. “I can’t control this matter!”
“He’s your biological brother! Qionghua, what do you mean by that? Go look for the Fu family! They have a lot of connections and definitely know people. They said he’ll be detained for a few days. Do you want your brother to spend the new year in a detention center?!”
“Then let him be locked up for a few days. As long as he encounters Little Rui’s matters, he doesn’t use his brain!” Sun Qionghua was furious.
“Isn’t it because Little Rui’s incident dealt an enormous blow to him? Why do you think she and Little Zhen…”
“He ran to the Qiao family to die without any preparation. He deserves to be bitten back!”
“Go and beg Zhongli. Although you aren’t coming back for the new year, hasn’t Zhongli returned to the capital? I’ll go to the capital overnight and ask him for help! He won’t refuse to save someone in trouble, right?”
“Because of Little Rui, we’ve already had a fight. Do you still think I haven’t embarrassed myself enough in the Fu family?” Sun Qionghua was furious. “Go to the Fu family and give it a try. I promise I won’t care about anything in the Sun family in the future.”
“I…”
“Anyway, he will only be locked up for a few days! It’s good to let him reflect on himself!” Sun Qionghua said and hung up.
Her relationship with Fu Zhongli, her husband, was already tense. Because of Sun Rui, they had quarreled a few times. This new year touched his bottom line again.
She wouldn’t be going back for the new year, but now she was to ask the Fu family for help?
What would the Fu family think of her? She would completely lose her face.

Yuncheng, Qiao residence…
After Sun Gongda and Feng Yi left, Qiao Aiyun heated up the food again. Fu Chen also ate a little.
“It’s already so late. Fu Chen and Shaochen, don’t leave. Stay here tonight.” Qiao Aiyun was depressed, but she couldn’t show a bad attitude to uninvolved people, so she still smiled.
“No, thanks. I’ll go back to the hotel,” Yan Shaochen declined directly. He had experienced too much excitement tonight and needed to calm down.
“In that case, it would be impolite for me to decline.” Fu Chen smiled.
Yan Shaochen was dumbfounded. This…
He’s going to stay here?
Rumor has it that Third Master Fu isn’t very close to others. He looks kind on the outside but is ruthless on the inside. Why is he even staying here? He glanced at Song Fengwan, who had been drinking porridge with her head lowered.
These two…
… are a pair of actors.
“Okay, I’ll go up and tidy up the room for you.” Qiao Aiyun smiled.
Song Fengwan quickly returned to her room after eating. Qiao Aiyun thought that she was upset by what had happened tonight and definitely felt uncomfortable inside. She gave her a cup of hot milk, comforted her for a while, and told her to rest early.
After Yan Shaochen left, Old Madam Yan held Fu Chen’s hand and asked about Old Madam Fu’s recent news.
It turned out that during the chaos of the war in the past, the war in the north had spread everywhere. The Fu family had once gone to the south to seek refuge, so they got to know each other from there. But later on, everyone became old, and it was inconvenient for them to move around, so they didn’t contact each other much.
Old Madam Yan kept talking to him, and it was already the middle of the night before they knew it.
“Mom, it’s very late.” Yan Wangchuan and Qiao Aiyun had been waiting by the side. Seeing Old Madam Yan so excited, they hadn’t disturbed her.
“When did it become so late?” Old Madam Yan patted her head. “Fu Chen, you must be sleepy too. I’ve wasted your time.”
“It’s fine.” Fu Chen smiled faintly.
“Alright, I’ll go back to sleep.” Old Madam Yan got up with Qiao Aiyun’s help. Perhaps because she had been sitting for too long, her legs were sore and numb, and her footsteps were unsteady. She staggered and almost fell. “My legs are numb…”
“Let me massage them a little before you go.” Qiao Aiyun bent down to rub her calf. “Is it your calf?”
“It’ll get better just standing here for a while.” Old Madam Yan lowered her head to look at her. How good would it have been if she was my daughter-in-law from the start? It’s late by more than twenty years. Ahhhh—
***
The few of them returned to their rooms one after another before the entire Qiao residence quieted down.
Only then did Fu Chen call Song Fengwan. The call connected, but she hung up. She obviously wasn’t asleep yet.
Soon, Song Fengwan received a text message.
[I’m going to find you.]
Fu Chen opened the door softly and walked slowly to Song Fengwan’s door. He placed his fingers on the door handle and twisted it gently…
His heart instantly sank. She actually locked the door?
Song Fengwan had never had the habit of locking the door when she slept. This was clearly intentional.
He didn’t dare to knock on the door either, so he could only call Song Fengwan again. But she still wouldn’t answer.
Song Fengwan’s phone vibrated…
[I know you’re not asleep. Hurry and open the door. I’m right outside.]
[What happened? Did I anger you? I’m leaving tomorrow. Don’t you want to see me?]
[I’m only wearing pajamas. It’s really chilly outside. Are you really not letting me in?]
…
Fu Chen gritted his teeth and turned the door handle a few times, but he still couldn’t open it.
Song Fengwan looked at the messages and tightened her grip on her phone. Her heart still softened, especially when she saw that he had even used the excuse of freezing outside to gain her sympathy.
She was about to open the door when she received a message.
[Not opening the door? Then I’ll go back to sleep.]
The sound of the door handle turning suddenly stopped at this moment too.
Song Fengwan’s heart skipped a beat. Did this bastard really leave? She jumped out of bed and hurriedly opened the door without even putting on her slippers…
The moment the door opened a crack, a hand reached out and pressed against the edge of the door. The door opened abruptly, and Fu Chen squeezed himself in.
“You made me wait at the door for more than ten minutes, you heartless little thing!”
