Chapter 290: Hundredth-day Pledge Ceremony, Went to See My Wife

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

February 27th, Hundredth-day Pledge Ceremony…

Song Fengwan opened her eyes and turned on her phone. She saw Fu Chen’s WeChat message. [Morning. Countdown: 100 days.]

She lay on the bed and replied, [Morning, Third Brother.]

Her lips curled up slightly. She was feeling nervous and fidgety, but she was also excited.

Yuncheng First High School had compressed the entire high school curriculum to a year and a half. So in the second term of year two, they had entered the preparatory phase for the college entrance examination. Revision in the first stage, tackling questions in the second stage, consolidation in the third stage… The days of repeatedly practicing questions were tedious yet extremely fulfilling and nervous.

By the time she washed up and went downstairs, Qiao Aiyun was busy in the kitchen, and Yan Wangchuan had yet to return from his morning run.

“Can we have dinner together after today’s parent-teacher meeting is over?” Qiao Aiyun served her a bowl of century egg and dried scallop porridge and passed her two steamed buns as well.

“I don’t know when the parent-teacher meeting will end. We should be able to have a meal, but I still have to go to evening self-study on time tonight.”

Qiao Aiyun patted her shoulder. “There are only three months left. Hang in there.”

During this period of time, Yan Wangchuan had been the one picking Song Fengwan up and dropping her off. After the two of them left, Qiao Aiyun cleaned the house and took out a dress from the bottom of a trunk in her closet. She had to meet the teachers at the parent-teacher meeting in the afternoon, so she definitely had to dress more solemnly.

She ironed the dress and wanted to try out the matching shoes and jewelry. But she was dumbfounded as soon as she put it on.

I can’t zip it up anymore.

She reached out her hand and pinched her waist. I could still wear it last year. Lunar New Year has just passed. Did I really put on so much weight? No matter how much she took deep breaths to suck in her tummy, she couldn’t put on the dress, making her very depressed.

Meanwhile, at the Fu residence in Yuncheng…

Fu Yuxiu had already gone overseas after the Lantern Festival since he still had classes. Fu Zhongli had stayed at the old residence for a few days and only returned yesterday. Sun Qionghua didn’t leave with her son this time but returned to Yuncheng.

She knew very well that her relationship with Fu Zhongli had already grown stiff. If she didn’t fix it soon, it would probably be difficult for her just to see him in the future.

She knew Fu Zhongli too well.

He usually looked cultured and refined—the typical gentlemen type. But if he hardened his heart…

There would be absolutely no room to maneuver.

She had constantly been thinking about repairing their relationship, but Fu Chen had followed them here. The two brothers played chess until the wee hours of the night, making it so that she could barely say even a few words to Fu Zhongli.

When she woke up early in the morning, she specially cooked breakfast. After all, Fu Zhongli was already up there in age. It was truly difficult for him to get up after staying up late last night. But Fu Chen got up at around five to copy scriptures.

“Good morning, Second Sister-in-Law.” Fu Chen’s expression was calm. You couldn’t see any emotion on his face.

“Good morning.” Sun Qionghua recalled the scene of him rebuking her harshly previously and felt uncomfortable talking to him.

There were only the two of them in the living room, so the atmosphere was a little awkward. It was only until Sun Qionghua’s phone rang that she looked at the caller ID and her expression changed slightly. She held her phone and faced away from Fu Chen.

“Hello, why did you call me?” There was suppressed irritation in her voice.

Fu Chen stroked the prayer beads in his hand and tilted his head to look at her silently.

“… I’ve done everything I can, and I’ve helped you where I can. What else do you want me to do?

“Let me tell you. Don’t look for me in the future. It’s useless even if you look for me!”

At this moment, there was the sound of a car outside. Sun Qionghua’s expression changed drastically. She opened the door and ran out with her indoor slippers flopping.

Shi Fang walked over and lowered his body, leaning close to Fu Chen’s ear. “It’s Sun Zhen.

“After the Sun family went overseas, they sent him back to his hometown. He seems to have been looking for Second Madam.

“In the capital, Second Madam almost lived in the compound the whole time. He couldn’t enter. Perhaps he knows that she’s back in Yuncheng, so he came to find her.”

Fu Chen nodded.

“In any case, the Sun family is really cruel. No matter what, they raised Sun Zhen in their home since he was young. Now that something happened, they kicked him away and sent him back to his hometown. He fell from the clouds to the mud pit in an instant. No one could stand this,” Shi Fang complained.

“Even if he’s not their biological son, they must have feelings for him after raising him for so many years. The entire family went overseas, but only he was left behind. What do they take him for…”

At this moment, the two people outside were arguing with red faces.

“Aunt, I just want to ask you for a helping hand.” Sun Zhen had been thrown back to his hometown and was too ashamed to stay there at all. The Sun family didn’t want him. With the name of the Sun family’s adopted son, and after that vile and obscene deed he had done with Sun Rui, absolutely no company was willing to accept him.

“I’ve already given you money twice. What else do you want me to do?” Sun Qionghua was annoyed. Big Brother’s family was really…

Back then, she had objected to adopting a child. It wasn’t like they couldn’t give birth. How could the child they adopted be the same as their own?

But they had refused to listen. Now that something had happened, they had abandoned him and let her clean up this terrible mess instead.

“Help me find a job. I really have no way out anymore.” His bank cards were all from the Sun family and had long been frozen. The bit of savings in his phone’s Alipay couldn’t support his enormous expenses at all.

It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult to go in reverse. He was used to living a life of luxury. The tens of thousands of yuan Sun Qionghua had given him couldn’t last him for more than a few days.

“Go find one yourself. I can’t help you.”

“You know so many people. It’s not difficult to arrange a random job for me.”

Sun Qionghua wasn’t a fool. It was indeed easy to arrange a job for him, but she definitely wouldn’t be able to get rid of him in the future. If something happened to him, she would be held responsible as well.

“Sun Zhen, I’ve already said it. I’ve done everything I can. I can’t do anything about your matter. If you had known earlier, you shouldn’t have done that kind of thing and followed Sun Rui to mess around.”

“Whatever she wants to do, can I stop her?” Sun Zhen sneered.

“Until now, she still refuses to repent and insists that Song Fengwan harmed her? How could she…” Sun Qionghua muttered softly.

Sun Rui naturally didn’t dare to say the exact reason. She had only said that Song Fengwan had harmed her. But in Sun Qionghua’s eyes, Song Fengwan was very well-behaved. She completely couldn’t understand why Sun Rui would go against her.

“Forget it. I’ll give you another sum of money. Live a good life after taking it.” After all, she had watched him grow up. When she saw him in such dire straits, she naturally couldn’t bear it. She took out her phone and transferred 100,000 yuan to him.

Sun Zhen knew Sun Qionghua’s personality well and knew that there was nothing else he could get from her. When he returned to the car, he looked at the remittance on his phone and gritted his teeth in anger.

What do these people treat me as?

Didn’t I end up like this today because of Sun Rui? She did everything. Why am I the one who was kicked away in the end though?

Sun Zhen was so angry that he slapped the steering wheel. His overflowing anger burned away the last bit of rationality he had.

All of this had been caused by Sun Rui’s intention to deal with Song Fengwan. He was completely a pawn of these two people. They had schemed against each other, but he was the unluckiest one?

I can’t find Sun Rui anymore. Song Fengwan, if it hadn’t been for her that night…

He took a deep breath, and a glint flashed across his dull eyes.

He stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped out. It chafed against the ground, making an ear-piercing and unpleasant sound…

Sun Qionghua turned her head to look at the car that had already disappeared without a trace and felt uneasy.

When she pushed the door open and entered, Fu Zhongli had already gone downstairs.

“Was there a guest?” Fu Zhongli asked.

“No.” Sun Qionghua smiled.

“I’m going to Yuncheng First High School in the afternoon to participate in the school’s Hundredth-Day Pledge Ceremony. The school invited the two of us. Are you free?”

Sun Qionghua was stunned.

Fu Zhongli did business in Yuncheng, so he naturally took into account the charity aspect as well. He had donated a building to the school before, and the school building was named after him.

In the past, he wouldn’t have participated in such events. But he and the Sun family were in-laws after all. When something happened to the Sun family, his business would inevitably be affected. Participating in such events was a disguised form of public relations to divert the public’s attention and also establish a good image for his company.

If it wasn’t for the Hundredth-day Pledge Ceremony, he wouldn’t have returned to Yuncheng at this time.

“If you’re not free…” Fu Zhongli was interrupted as soon as he spoke.

“I’m free. What time in the afternoon?”

“We have to be there at two.”

“Okay.” Sun Qionghua smiled.

Fu Chen licked his inner cheek with the tip of his tongue. “Second Brother, can I go along and take a look?”

Fu Zhongli frowned. He knew that Fu Chen had definitely followed him to Yuncheng to see his girlfriend. But since when was he interested in such activities?

“Whatever for?”

“I just suddenly want to go take a look. I’ve never seen a Hundredth-day Pledge Ceremony before.”

Sun Qionghua’s heart sank. Why is Third Brother haunting me?

Shi Fang stood at the side with his head lowered, suppressing his laughter. He isn’t interested in the Hundredth-day Pledge Ceremony. He’s going to see his wife.

***

Song Fengwan was currently in class. Because there would be a meeting in the afternoon, the students inevitably became a little restless.

As soon as the bell rang, the math teacher knocked on the door and walked in. “Your class is the noisiest in the entire building.”

The classroom instantly fell silent.

He threw a book onto the table with a bang. “Take out your weekly exam papers and have a look at your scores! How can you kids still be laughing? I just don’t understand why there are always people with lower than average scores! You’re really the worst batch of students I’ve ever taught.”

Song Fengwan looked at him while holding the exam papers. He really has a big temper.

He took a piece of chalk and wrote a few question numbers on the blackboard. “Why are you all looking at the table? Look at the blackboard! Besides these questions, what else needs to be explained?” He had naturally calculated the questions with the most mistakes.

The classroom was deafeningly silent.

“You don’t need to ask any other questions, right?” He threw away the chalk and took out the ranking list for this week’s exam. “Then, I’ll start raising questions…”

Everyone was stunned and didn’t dare to raise their heads.

“I’ll call whoever keeps their head down.”

Suddenly, someone looked up and was called.

Song Fengwan lowered her head and held back her laughter, completely unaware that Fu Chen had already reached Yuncheng…
