Chapter 122 - Wanwan: If I Didn’t Have Any Manners, I Would Have Slapped You Long Ago.

It had snowed last night, and the air this morning was fresh and crisp. Fu Chen reached out his hand to lower the car window. The cold wind blew in, and it was chilly.

“Third Master, we’ve looked into the matter. It is indeed related to Cheng Lan.” Shi Fang was sitting in the front passenger seat and turned his head to look behind him.

“Tell me.”

Ever since Cheng Guofu and Cheng Lan left the old residence that night, without the help of the Fu family, their lives were definitely not easy.

The Cheng family could barely take care of themselves now. On account of their past friendship, the Fu family didn’t take advantage of the situation and kick them while they were down and just left them to fend for themselves.

He originally thought that Cheng Lan would become obedient after being taught a lesson. She had already caused the interests of her entire family to suffer yet still wanted to cause trouble.

“Previously, when Xu Jingcheng was beaten up and hospitalized, although they reconciled at the time, the Xu family still wanted an explanation, as there had to be a reason for everything, and he couldn’t be beaten up for no reason.

“The police investigated and found Miss Song back then. But they kept her personal information confidential and didn’t disclose it.”

Shi Fang coughed dryly. “At the time, some of the students involved couldn’t control their mouths and said that Cheng Tianyi instigated this matter.”

Fu Chen sneered. “Those who hung out with Cheng Tianyi all wanted to suck up to the Cheng family, so they had to help keep things secret when incidents happened. Now that the Cheng family has fallen, who would be willing to be a scapegoat? Everyone kicks a man who’s down.”

“So Cheng Lan came into contact with Xu Jingcheng’s mother. She should be the one who revealed Miss Song’s name. This matter already involved puppy love, and he was beaten up because of Miss Song, so his mother definitely couldn’t sit still.”

For ordinary families, falling in love in high school was already a deadly sin. Moreover, Xu Jingcheng had been hospitalized because of it and had thus missed many classes.

In his parents’ eyes, Song Fengwan was a jinx that would ruin their son.

This then led to what happened next.

Fu Chen raised his hand. “Go to the atelier.”

Inside the atelier…

When Xu Jingcheng’s mother saw Song Fengwan, her gaze was brimming with hostility, looking as if she wanted to swallow Song Fengwan alive.

Song Fengwan knew that Xu Jingcheng’s mother didn’t come with good intentions. But since his mother was already here, she couldn’t hide and could only wait and see what would happen next.

“Sit down first. We can talk about it slowly.” Gao Xue had already found out a bit about the situation from Xu Jingcheng’s mother, and she looked at Song Fengwan with a strange gaze.

Xu Jingcheng’s mother, Mao Yinlan, sat down while Song Fengwan stood quietly by the table.

“Have something to drink first.” Gao Xue poured a cup of water for Mao Yinlan and sat back in her seat without saying anything else.

Mao Yinlan looked up at Song Fengwan. She is indeed pretty. No wonder there are boys having gang fights over her.

“I am here to talk about your and Jingcheng’s matter,” she said slowly, enunciating each word.

“Our Jingcheng is a good child. Since he started going to school, he has never made me worry. Now that he’s at the critical stage of his senior year, I don’t want anything to distract him.

“I know that your family is wealthy and powerful. We’re a humble family, and the college entrance exam can determine his life. I hope you stay away from him.”

She didn’t say a single tricky word, but between the lines was a mean and snobbish tone.

“I have never wanted to affect him.” Song Fengwan stood there, neither humble nor arrogant.

“You haven’t affected him?!” When Mao Yinlan heard this, she stared at her furiously. “His exam results this time have dropped him to almost hundredth place!”

Song Fengwan was silent for a few seconds. “So it’s my problem?”

Mao Yinlan didn’t expect that a little girl would dare to talk back to her like that. She was stunned for a moment and couldn’t reply.

Gao Xue raised her eyebrows and sized Song Fengwan up. I’ve been in contact with Song Fengwan for nearly two months. This little girl is pretty, quiet, gentle, and polite, but I never expected her to have such a stubborn and arrogant side.

“How is it not your problem?! If it wasn’t because of you, would he have been beaten up?!

“His entire soul has been seduced by you! How can he concentrate on studying like that?!

“You can have relations with those shady rich second-generation heirs, but don’t get involved with my son! We’re just a humble family. We can’t compare to you people!”

…

Mao Yinlan almost vented all her pent-up anger on Song Fengwan.

Regarding Xu Jingcheng being beaten up, although the other party had apologized and compensated him, the mediation process wasn’t satisfactory. The other party only sent a lawyer over, and the way the lawyer spoke was also very arrogant. It was obvious that they were bullying them, who were ordinary people.

Seeing Song Fengwan at this moment, she originally wanted to have a calm chat with her, but she didn’t expect Song Fengwan to talk back to her like that. She was so angry that she almost cursed.

There were already many students and teachers watching the commotion outside the staff room.

“I know you have power and influence, and even the school can’t do anything to you. Anyway, stay away from my son. Even a rabbit bites when it’s forced. If you bring trouble to my son again, I won’t be polite to you.” Mao Yinlan put out a disguised threat.

Song Fengwan took a deep breath. “You are an elder, and I respect you. But this isn’t a reason for you to say whatever you want.

“I understand that you’re protective of your son, but you can’t indiscriminately slander me!

“I call you ‘Auntie’ because you are Xu Jingcheng’s mother, but that doesn’t mean I’m really afraid of you.”

Mao Yinlan slammed the table in anger and jumped up from her seat. Is this little girl threatening me?!

“How dare you talk to me like that? Didn’t your parents teach you how to respect your elders? But then again, it makes sense. I heard that your parents are getting a divorce. Your father has an illegitimate daughter, and your family is a mess. What good manners can a child born in such a family have…”

Song Fengwan furrowed her brows tightly. She directly picked up the cup on the table and knocked it down on the table heavily.

Her eyes were cold.

Mao Yinlan was startled and frightened by Song Fengwan’s gaze, and her heart thumped. “What? You want to hit me?”

“Just based on what you just said, if I didn’t have any manners, I would have made a move long ago! I respect you, so please respect yourself!”
