Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy

Chapter 74: You’re Ruthless, Don’t Blame Me For Being Ruthless

From students fighting to feuds between wealthy families, the netizens watched the gossip with relish. But the news was soon deleted, and the time the news spread was in the morning, so it didn’t cause a large-scale uproar.

Even so, many people felt some pity for illegitimate children, and they increasingly hated those descendants of wealthy families who did evil because their families had money.

Inside the private room of the private club…

Cheng Lan was adding sandalwood to an incense burner with a tong. “Are you still going to question my ability now?”

Jiang Fengya was sitting across from her. On the surface, she looked calm, but her heart was brimming with joy. She hadn’t slept since last night and had been browsing the news all night. When she saw everyone attacking Song Fengwan, she felt extremely happy and satisfied.

“Miss Cheng, how do you intend to help me?”

She originally had doubts about whether Cheng Lan could help her. It was currently a critical period for her to enter the Song and Fu families, so she had to take every step carefully.

“Don’t worry. As long as you do as I say, I promise that you will successfully become the eldest daughter of the Song family, and…” Cheng Lan smiled. “I’ll let you be able to marry into the Fu family as you wish.”

Just as Jiang Fengya was about to speak, her phone rang. She answered the call. “Hello, Dad—”

After the dog biting incident, their relationship developed rapidly, and she had started to call Song Jingren ‘Dad’.

“Didn’t you go for the rabies shot? Isn’t it over yet?”

“There are a lot of people in the hospital today, so I’m still queuing up.” Jiang Fengya had actually come out with the excuse of seeing a doctor.

“Alright. I’ll wait for you to come back for lunch. Yuxiu is coming over today as well. Come back early, and I’ll take you to buy a few more clothes.”

“Thank you, Dad.”

“Silly girl, why are you being so polite with me?”

The private room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. The conversation between the two of them reached Cheng Lan’s ears intermittently. She seemed to think of something, and a glint flashed across her eyes.

“Are you meeting Fu Yuxiu today?” Cheng Lan asked.

“Yes, he knows that my dad is here. He was just discharged from the hospital and snuck out secretly.” Jiang Fengya’s tone had a hint of proudness.

Cheng Lan could tell that she wanted to show off, but she didn’t expose her and just smiled. “Then I won’t keep you any longer. After everything that has happened recently, you’ve lost a lot of weight. You must eat more. If you faint due to low blood sugar or something during a date with Fu Yuxiu, it would be disastrous.”

Jiang Fengya stared at her in a daze. She only stood up smiling after a few seconds and thanked Cheng Lan before leaving.

Yunjin Prime Manor…

Song Fengwan still had around half a month before she had to take the art joint examination, so she put aside her cultural classes and focused on drawing.

The tutor whom her mom found for her was a woman in her early fifties. She was very amiable, and the two of them got along quite well.

Qiao Aiyun wasn’t in the mood to go out due to the news reports in the morning and was making dumplings with Uncle Nian in the kitchen.

Her hands were rolling out dumpling wrappers when her phone on the table vibrated.

She looked at the caller ID and hurriedly wiped her hands before answering. “Xiyan.”

“Aunt.” Qiao Xiyan was currently standing in the art gallery in the Qiao family compound.

Suzhou was rainy recently. Water droplets dripped down along the blue tiles, forming a rain curtain that softened his cold facial features.

“What’s the matter? Is your dad out yet?” When the news broke out in the morning, she gave the Qiao family a call. Her brother had a quick temper and was not to be trifled with. If he saw the news, he would definitely have flared up.

Thankfully, he had just gotten a piece of new raw jade a week ago. Recently, he had been in seclusion, focusing on jade carving.

“No.”

“That’s good.” Qiao Aiyun heaved a long sigh of relief. “Wait for me to settle the matter before telling him. Don’t mention it to him before then.”

“Dad has been busy recently, so he doesn’t read the news.” Qiao Xiyan took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, grabbed a cigarette from the box, put it in his mouth, and then took out a lighter and lit it. His moves were very experienced.

Through the Jiangnan rain, the surroundings were bleak and engrossing.

“Aunt, indecisiveness leads to trouble. You’re always thinking for others, but some people might not be grateful for it, and instead, the matter becomes worse.”

Qiao Aiyun was quite decisive when doing business. However, the divorce had been dragged out for quite a while, but there was still no progress.

“Don’t keep thinking about whether it will affect Wanwan. She actually understands everything. You’re entangled with him now and constantly arguing. That might affect Wanwan even more.”

“I know,” Qiao Aiyun replied.

“Hurry and read the news. This time…” Qiao Xiyan took a deep puff of smoke. “Song Jingren really doesn’t f*cking care about his face anymore for that girl.”

Qiao Aiyun was stunned for a moment before hanging up the phone and browsing the news.

The headlines on the front page made her dumbfounded and speechless.

There were many accompanying photos, such as the two of them having a meal with Song Jingren. The photos were clear and couldn’t have been doctored. There was also a photo of Fu Yuxiu hugging Jiang Fengya while entering and leaving the hospital.

Immediately below, there was a video interview with Song Jingren.

He was blocked by reporters in the parking lot.

“Mr. Song, I heard that Fu Yuxiu’s girlfriend is your daughter? Is she an illegitimate daughter?”

“What do you think about her relationship with Fu Yuxiu? They were photographed entering and leaving the hospital. Is the good news about her pregnancy getting close? You ate together, so did he meet you long ago?”

“I heard that Fu Yuxiu was engaged to your other daughter some time ago. Was the engagement annulled because he had another love?”

…

Song Jingren didn’t answer any of the questions. But explosive news broke out afterward.
