Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Inside a large supermarket in Nanjiang

Yan w.a.n.gchuan was pus.h.i.+ng a shopping cart and following closely behind Song Fengwan. She was holding diapers and comparing them. The diapers they had used before were bought at the supermarket near the hospital, and there were fewer brands.

“Uncle Yan, do you think domestic products or foreign ones are better? The reviews online are all good,” Song Fengwan asked.

“Let’s go with domestic.”

The Yan family’s style was traditional and old-fas.h.i.+oned, and they basically used domestic products. Up until now, Old Madam Yan still used a domestic face cream that came in a traditional tin box.

“Okay, let’s get some first.” Song Fengwan threw a few packets of diapers into the shopping cart. She sized up Yan w.a.n.gchuan from time to time and kept feeling that he was strange too.

Not happy with a son?

He keeps a straight face all day and looks distracted. Is he unhappy, or didn’t sleep well last night?

‘At this moment, the hospital ward was full of the strong fragrance of baby milk.

The little fellow lay on his bed, innocent and unaware of sorrow. But the three people from the Qiao family each had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere was stifling.

“Why aren’t you two saying anything?” Qiao Aiyun said after a long time, but the other two people remained silent. “Do you feel surprised too?

“Lknow Yan w.a.n.gchuan. He won’t lie. Moreover, considering the circ.u.mstances, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d is definitely close.

“remember when it was almost Lunar New Year, Wanwan said that her high school cla.s.smates had come to Nanjiang to play, and she spent the night outside. When she came back, not only was her voice hoa.r.s.e, but she even slept for the whole day. She also kept going out for the next few days.

“Now that I think about it, that man must have looked for her. Say, she’s still so young. How far have they progressed?”

This kind of thing was hard to discover. But once it was exposed, all kinds of clues would become traceable.

Now that Qiao Aiyun thought about it, there were too many things wrong with Song Fengwan. Since she had fallen in love in high school, her motive for going to the capital to study became extremely doubtful.

“This person is definitely not from Yuncheng or Nanjiang. He’s most likely in the capital.

“yan w.a.n.gchuan is really too much. Say, how could he not tell me that Wanwan is in a relations.h.i.+p?!”

Qiao w.a.n.gbei looked at his son and coughed, signaling him to speak.

Qiao Xiyan wasn’t stupid. He definitely wouldn’t rush forward at this moment and say something that would anger his aunt to death.

“Tm a junior. I can’t comment on Uncle-Master’s actions. Dad, what do you think?” Qiao Xiyan’s expression was normal as he threw the hot potato over.

It was a typical case of s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g someone over without blinking.

Qiao w.a.n.gbei took a deep breath. Just you wait.

He cleared his throat and said in a low voice, “Aiyun, didn’t you ask Senior Brother properly about what happened?”

“I can’t even be bothered to talk to him now. Wanwan was still underage in high school. Do you think it’s normal to fall in love with a middle-aged man?

“The truth is very clear. What else do I need to ask?”

“You just gave birth. This matter still has to be taken slowly. There’s no hurry. It’s more important for you to recover.” Qiao w.a.n.gbei was also nervous.

“know. That’s why I asked you to investigate that person. I want to see which wild man didn’t even let a child off.” Qiao Aiyun took a deep breath. “Brother, you have to help me with this.”

‘What else could Qiao w.a.n.gbei say?

Qiao Aiyun glanced at the time. “Erm… Give the baby to me.”

Qiao w.a.n.gbei carefully pa.s.sed the little fellow to her. It was probably to breastfeed him or something, so he called Qiao Xiyan out.

As soon as the door of the ward closed, Qiao w.a.n.gbei was so angry that he almost kicked him. “Qiao Xiyan, good job. You screwed over your biological father!”

“Dad, I really didn’t know what to do. You’re experienced, so you have to make the decision. I’ll listen to you,” Qiao Xiyan said seriously.

“Get lost. When have you ever listened to what I said?”

Qiao Xiyan had been independent since he was young. He had chosen his high school subjects, chosen university, and applied for his major by himself. He had always been very independent and self-willed, so why was he letting him make the decision now.

He was clearly spouting nonsense.

“Dad, we can’t keep hiding this from Aunt. She’ll find out sooner or later. Why don’t we tell her directly?”

“Of course I know we have to tell her. But the pit this brat Fu Chen dug is too deep.” Qiao w.a.n.gbei sighed. “Think about it carefully. Even if your aunt knows, she might not do anything to him. We will be the unlucky ones.”

“Didn’t you say that Fu Chen is a good person and that Aunt likes him? She’ll definitely be able to accept him soon.”

“She’ll accept Fu Chen, and we’ll leave Nanjiang sooner or later. But what about your uncle-master…”

Qiao Xiyan lowered his head and fiddled with the lighter in his hand without saying anything.

“Most importantly, now that the matter has been exposed, your aunt will definitely think that we’re all accomplices.” Qiao w.a.n.gbei shook his head helplessly.

He had never done anything wicked or unconscionable in his life. Moreover, when he found out about this matter, the atmosphere had also been depressing. Why had he inexplicably become an accomplice?

After thinking about it carefully, he found that the whole thing was an unsolvable loop.

As long as someone knows, they will definitely become an accomplice.

The Fu family is indeed smart and scheming.

‘The two of them stood at the door for a while before seeing Yan w.a.n.gchuan return with two large shopping bags.

‘The three men exchanged glances and seemed to instantly understand something.

“Where’s Wanwan?” Qiao w.a.n.gbei looked behind him.

“She said she wanted to eat pancakes. She’s lining up at a small stall at the entrance of the hospital.”

“Senior Brother, let’s talk…” Qiao w.a.n.gbei said bluntly.

At this moment, Yan w.a.n.gchuan still had no idea that the Qiao father and son were insiders. He was still wondering if these two would stab him with a knife. But the current situation didn’t allow him to retreat. “Okay.”

He didn’t even put the items down before following the two of them to the end of the corridor.

At this moment, Qiao Aiyun had already breastfed the little fellow. He had eaten his fill and was already asleep. When Song Fengwan came in, she saw Qiao Aiyun getting out of bed.

“Mom, why are you getting down?”

“It’s uncomfortable to sit. I’ll walk a little.” She could get off the bed in the morning. Although she felt unwell, and it still hurt to walk, it was more comfortable than lying down and sitting all the time.

“Tl help you.” Song Fengwan put down the pancakes and hurriedly bent down to help her put on her slippers.

Qiao Aiyun lowered her head and looked at her docile and well-behaved daughter. She felt increasingly emotional. That man must be a glib-tongued person who deceived my daughter.

After all, in the eyes of parents, their children were the most innocent and pure.

“Should I accompany you out?”

“No need. I’m just taking a few steps casually.” Qiao Aiyun hadn’t ascertained the other party’s details and didn’t know how to talk to Song Fengwan.

After all, Qiao Aiyun was smart and knew that Song Fengwan was in the honeymoon phase. If she directly said that the man wasn’t good or forcefully broke the two of them up, the child’s rebellious resistance would only put a strain on their mother and daughter relations.h.i.+p.

She had to find strong evidence to prove that the two of them were not suitable before expressing her feelings.

“Okay.” Song Fengwan had no idea what was going through her mother’s mind. “Walk slowly.”

“Your Uncle Yan didn’t come back with you?”

“He should have arrived earlier.” Song Fengwan helped her brother pull off the small blanket on him.

“Really? Then, you didn’t see your uncle and cousin at the door either?”

“No,” Song Fengwan answered truthfully without any doubts.

Qiao Aiyun knew that the three of them were definitely discussing that man in private. She had to go and take a look.

“Mom, are you going out?” Song Fengwan thought that she would only move around in the ward.

“Tm just walking around the door. You keep an eye on your brother. Don’t walk around randomly.”

Song Fengwan wanted to follow him, but she couldn’t leave her brother alone, so she could only remind her to be careful.

Qiao Aiyun supported herself on the handrail set up in the corridor and reached out to rub her stomach. She slowly moved forward. One side of the corridor led to the elevator. If they wanted to talk, it could only be on the other side of this floor.

She walked a few steps, and sure enough, she heard Qiao w.a.n.gbei’s voice.

His voice was rough, and he didn’t lower his voice.

“.. Senior Brother, should I praise you? Aiyun was having a tough time giving birth in the delivery room. It was a life-threatening matter. You actually stimulated her at this time?

“She was running out of strength at the time, and the child was halfway out. If she underwent surgery, she would have suffered a lot,” Yan w.a.n.gchuan said bluntly.

“Even so, you shouldn’t have done that. It was a coincidence this time. What if she had fainted from anger?”

“What did Aiyun tell you? She asked you to interrogate me?” Yan w.a.n.gchuan asked.

Qiao w.a.n.gbei snorted lightly. “Ask what? Ask about that person?

“Senior Brother, I’ve always thought that you’re the most upright person among all us senior and junior brothers. I didn’t expect you to collude with him and deceive my sister together.

“And you even reached some d.a.m.n consensus. You’re not the kind of person who’s good at scheming at all. He was obviously digging a hole for you to jump into and getting you to help cover for him.”

Yan w.a.n.gchuan’s expression was cold. “Do you know who he is?”

“Why wouldn’t I know? I found out in the capital. At the time, I really wanted to kill that guy.” Qiao w.a.n.gbei sighed. “Aiyun still expects me to help. How do you think I should talk to her?”

Even though he knew that they were insiders, Yan w.a.n.gchuan still appeared very calm. His expression was as spa.r.s.e and indifferent as usual as he said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “So… it turns out that you’re fellow sufferers.”

The Qiao father and son were both stunned. They had long known that Yan w.a.n.gchuan was clumsy with his words and could choke people to death with them. But the truth was too cruel. Couldn’t he be more tactful?

Qiao Aiyun originally wanted to hear how her elder brother would interrogate Yan w.a.n.gchuan to find out some inside information.

Upon hearing their heated discussion, she felt dizzy.

The three of them stood by the window with cold and solemn expressions. They couldn’t think of a good countermeasure for a moment, but then they suddenly heard a familiar hoa.r.s.e voice behind them.

“Congratulations on your alliance forming.”

Qiao Xiyan was fine. After all, he had elders to bear the brunt for him. The senior and junior brothers beside him instantly stiffened.

“Aiyun, why are you out?” Qiao w.a.n.gbei smiled and turned around.

“Brother, you know about it too?” Qiao Aiyun suddenly felt betrayed by everyone. So the entire world knows about it, but they’re hiding it from me?

“This matter is a little complicated. You were pregnant, and we were worried about agitating you,” Qiao w.a.n.gbei explained.

“Som who is that person?” Qiao Aiyun asked. “He could make the few people closest to me help him hide it.”

At this moment, she felt that the entire world was helping that wild man, and she was like a fool.

“Aunt, you got hit by a car and then became pregnant. We really didn’t dare to tell you. We wanted to wait for the child to be born before telling you.” Qiao Xiyan walked over and supported her.

Qiao Aiyun was also a little tired. Qiao Xiyan spoke softly. She couldn’t vent her anger on the child and let her support her.

“So, you all know this person?” Qiao Aiyun was suspicious. “I… I know him too?”

She searched her mind. There were very few unmarried men around forty years old who didn’t have a family, but there were some divorced ones. This made her even more terrified.

Yan w.a.n.gchuan took a deep breath. “It’s Fu Chen.”

The middle-aged greasy man in Qiao Aiyun’s mind was instantly replaced by a gentle and elegant image. “Fu… Chen?”

Qiao w.a.n.gbei nodded.

Qiao Aiyun’s mind was even more confused. “Xiyan, help me back to my room. I’ma little dizzy.”

At this moment, in the capital, Fu Chen was accompanying Old Madam Fu in the Pear Garden to watch opera. Today was the first show after the new year, and it was packed. They were sitting in a private room on the second floor, and even Jing Hanchuan was here.

On the stage, an older actor was singing. “Hei San, the king’s hat, the red python…” His singing voice was stable and clear. It was obvious that he had a deep foundation.

“Is this the new actor your garden recruited?” Old Madam Fu tilted her head and asked Jing Hanchuan.

“Yes, she’s almost forty. She’s a woman. Her skills aren’t bad.” Jing Hanchuan nodded.

Fu Chen looked down at the stage and frowned slightly.

It’s the new year, and there are so many festive plays. Why is ‘The Feast of the Hongmen’ being performed? He kept feeling that it sounded unpleasant.

He was about to get a piece of dried fruit from the tea tray when he found that Jing Hanchuan had already eaten most of them.

“You want to eat it?” Jing Hanchuan raised his eyebrows.

He had returned to the capital on the eighth day of the first lar month. He had been extremely unhappy about those brats pestering him.

Fu Chen lifted his eyelids. “I’ll drink tea.”

He just felt that it was boring. His wife was busy coaxing her younger brother and ignoring him. He just wanted to have a taste of it, but.

He would never do something like s.n.a.t.c.hing food from a tiger’s mouth.
