After Jing Hanchuan received the WeChat red packet from his father, he stared at the small group chat. There were only three people in the group chat.

Your Father: [Take the red packet, and buy something delicious for yourself. Your mother and I will go back after eating.]

Jing Hanchuan took a deep breath. Does he think I’m still in middle school? I’m also making money. He gave me two hundred?

Buy something delicious?

What a father.

“Sixth Master, where are we going now?”

“Do you remember the name of the dessert shop that the young madam of the Fu family brought desserts home from for me to try?” Jing Hanchuan wasn’t in a good mood and wanted to eat something sweet.

“I remember. I’ll set the navigation.”

Later, they found a store in a secluded alley near a teacher’s college in the capital. There were many girls, and they were all choosing desserts and bread. A man and a waitress were in charge of collecting payment and packing.

When he pushed the door open and entered, the doughnut hanging on the door made an electronic sound. “Welcome.”

It wasn’t a mechanical voice, but one that had been recorded and put into it. The voice was soft and sweet, making his throat itch.

When almost everyone was gone, Jing Hanchuan started choosing a few desserts.

“Did you make these things?” Jing Hanchuan narrowed his eyes and sized up the store. It was very small, but it was decorated very warmly.

“The lady boss did.”

Jing Hanchuan nodded.

When he went out, the car drove out of the alley, and a woman wearing a disposable mask pushed the door open and entered the store.

“How’s business today?” Her voice was sweet and soft, seemingly more gentle than the warm spring breeze.

“It’s pretty good. Boss, don’t you have allergies? Why are you here?” The two people working were part-time students recruited from the nearby school.

“I wanted to go out.”

“A very handsome man asked about you just now. He bought three boxes of qingtuans at once, so they’re all sold out.”

She was stunned. “I see.”

At this moment, in the old Fu residence…

As soon as Fu Chen’s car stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, Uncle Zhong came out to welcome him.

“Welcome back.”

“There are guests at home?” Fu Chen glanced at the black car not far away. It had a government license plate.

“The Ning family is here. They’re chatting in the living room,” Uncle Zhong reminded softly, “about Young Madam…”

Fu Chen and Song Fengwan looked at each other and walked into the house.

Other than Ning Fan, there was also a middle-aged couple who looked a little similar to him. When they saw Fu Chen and the others enter the house, they pursed their lips and nodded in greeting.

“Have you settled everything? You must be tired. Sit down for a while.” Dai Yunqing invited the two of them to sit down.

Fu Chen was very senior in the Fu family, so he sat directly beside Old Master Fu. Song Fengwan was farther away and listened to their conversation quietly…

“… Teacher.” The man who spoke was called Ning Tao. Ning Fan’s father usually called him Old Master Fu, and he also called him teacher in private. “I never told you what happened back then. I feel ashamed.”

Song Fengwan only knew that the Ning family treated Yu Manxi very well. After she returned to China, Ning Fan had helped her find a house and move in. The Ning family also often invited Yu Manxi to eat at their house.

All these things added up caused everyone to misunderstand Yu Manxi’s relationship with Ning Fan.

Old Master Fu held his tobacco pipe and took a puff. His expression was calm, and he didn’t speak.

“Back then, Old Master He framed you and dug a hole for you to jump into. He actually said that your family had secrets and all kinds of treasures. Because of your wife’s family, you were almost criticized as being part of the landlord class…”

Song Fengwan listened carefully. This was the limitation of the era. Her grandfather had worked as a part-time painting teacher at the time, and even he had been dragged out into the streets. Her grandmother had also suffered in that era and became sick, so she had passed away relatively early.

“The He family was really too vicious. Your family didn’t have anything, so how could you have handed anything over? If you really didn’t hand over anything, I’m afraid you and your wife…”

The Fu family had been a very powerful family for a long time, and many people said that the Fu family had numerous treasures.

“If not for the Qiao family’s help and taking out their pearls, the Fu family probably wouldn’t have escaped calamity back then.”

Song Fengwan was surprised. Is this the favor the Fu family has been emphasizing?

Back then, the landlords were full of tricks. If he didn’t show his sincerity, the problem would have indeed been very serious. Ning Tao spoke vaguely, but everyone knew what was going on.

“Teacher, I was indebted to you back then, and I followed Elder Brother Fu to work.”

The Elder Brother Fu whom Ning Tao was talking about was naturally Fu Chen’s eldest brother—Fu Shinan.

“I just didn’t expect that in order to support his only son, Old Master He would actually use public tools for private purposes and play some tricks in private. He even hindered Elder Brother’s promotion. You can’t play with politics like this!”
