Chapter 165 - Beating the Scumbag Father Up

Song Jingren was focused on wanting to drag Song Fengwan away, so despite knowing that Qiao Aiyun was nearby, he hadn’t taken it to heart.

This sudden slap left him dumbfounded.

Song Fengwan took the opportunity to get away from his grip and ran to Qiao Aiyun’s side. “Mom!”

Even though she had found a secluded place to answer the call, there were still many people walking around. She and Song Jingren being in a standoff had already attracted a lot of attention. And now that he had actually made a move, it immediately caused others to size up the situation.

Some busybodies even took out their phones, wanting to record videos.

Women on their own were vulnerable, but as mothers, they were strong.

Since Song Jingren dared to touch her daughter, Qiao Aiyun naturally wouldn’t let him off. Coupled with her hatred for him, they were concentrated on this slap, so the slap was so strong that it caused the corner of his mouth to tear.

He spat out a mouthful of blood. “Qiao Aiyun!”

“I’ve warned you before. If you dare to look for Wanwan, I won’t be polite.” Qiao Aiyun reached out her hand and shielded Song Fengwan behind her.

Song Jingren touched his face.

It was winter, and the cold wind cut his face. The human skin was fragile to begin with, and she had hit him very hard, so the left side of his face was numb, and a trail of blood was visible.

Just touching it a bit caused him to feel a sharp pain. It was so painful that he almost lost control of his expression.

“She’s my daughter too. What right do you have not to let me see her?” Song Jingren was furious. “Don’t think that I won’t dare to touch you.”

“It’s not like you haven’t hit me before. I don’t care!”

“You…” Hearing her words, Song Jingren choked and almost couldn’t breathe.

“Since we’ve already agreed on a divorce, we’ll do it according to the law. I won’t take advantage of you, but I won’t give you anything that belongs to me and my daughter!”

Qiao Aiyun’s wrist was slightly numb from the impact, so she shook it a little. “If you are a man, let’s just settle the divorce properly. Don’t play dirty tricks.

“Since we can’t stand each other, we should just let each other go simply and directly. If you continue being so despicable, it will only make me despise you even more.”

Most of the people in the school were students. At his age, being slapped in front of a group of children was really embarrassing.

At this moment, Qiao Aiyun’s attitude was increasingly domineering, causing him to be infuriated.

Thinking about how he had been dealing with her for so long yet couldn’t get anything good out of the divorce, he was even more furious.

“We aren’t divorced yet! Even if we do, I’m still her father!” Song Jingren gritted his teeth, his gums still aching. “What right do you have to hide her and stop her from meeting me?!”

Qiao Aiyun curled her lips into a contemptuous smile. “Why didn’t you say something like that when you made such a big fuss over the filiation banquet? Now you’re here to be a kind father? Don’t you think you’re hypocritical and disgusting?”

Song Jingren took a deep breath. “Stop trying to muddle the matter. I just want to see my daughter now.

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re scheming.

“You’re trying so hard to stop us from meeting. Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. Stop pretending to be virtuous.”

Divorce would inevitably involve the division of interests. Every time they met, they would always leave unhappily. Such arguments had happened countless times, so many that they were already too lazy to even put on polite masks in front of each other.

“Song Jingren, calling me a thief when you’re the thief yourself, you’re utterly shameless!” Qiao Aiyun was so angry that she wished she could rush up to him and give him a good beating.

“Try touching me again, and I’ll go get the injuries checked and get you sent to prison!”

Qiao Aiyun took a deep breath, so angry that she was trembling. He’s so despicable.

In her fury, she couldn’t care about anything else. Just as she was about to make a move, Song Fengwan stopped her. “Mom.”

She stood in front of Qiao Aiyun. “Do you really want to get arrested because of him? It’s not worth it. I’ll talk to him.”

***

On another side, Yan Wangchuan was supposed to be closely following Song Jingren, but…

It was his first time at Yuncheng University, and he wasn’t familiar with the place. There were many academic buildings and numerous small trails. He watched as Song Jingren turned a corner, and when he chased after him, Song Jingren had already disappeared.

He was anxious. He called Qiao Aiyun, but no one answered, making him even more anxious.

“Something seems to be happening over there. I heard they even got physical.”

“Who?”

“Anyway, they’re not from our school, and they’re not students…”

Yan Wangchuan gritted his teeth. “Hello, may I know where the incident is happening?”

“Behind Tingyu Tower.”

“Where is Tingyu Tower?” Yan Wangchuan was anxious. All the academic buildings in the university looked similar.

“Just keep going straight ahead. There are a lot of people there now. You should be able to see them.”

Yan Wangchuan couldn’t worry about too much and immediately dashed over.

He could only hope that since there were many people around, Song Jingren wouldn’t dare to go too overboard.

***

Currently, the person facing Song Jingren was now Song Fengwan.

“It’s not that Mom stopped me. It’s me who doesn’t want to see you.” When Song Fengwan had suddenly seen him just now, she couldn’t help feeling a little bit of tender feelings for him. But now, seeing him confront and threaten her mother, she felt disgusted.

“Wanwan, don’t listen to her sowing discord. You have to know that she…”

“Enough!” Song Fengwan suddenly raised her voice. Even Qiao Aiyun was shocked.

She looked at the little girl standing in front of her. Song Fengwan’s shoulders were slightly shaking, and she was clearly trying her best to suppress her emotions.

Song Fengwan’s eyes turned red. She had lived together with the person before her for 17 years, and with all the past memories surfacing in her mind, how could she feel indifferent?

“Wanwan…” Qiao Aiyun put her hand on Song Fengwan’s shoulder.

She looked up at Song Jingren. “I should thank you for finding me today and allowing me to finally discern the true faces of the two of you.”

“Wanwan, your mother really doesn’t have good intentions.” When Song Jingren heard what she said, he thought that his words had worked and was secretly rejoicing.

Little did he know that what Song Fengwan said next would give him a hard slap in the face. “You’re the one with ill intentions. If it wasn’t for what you said, I wouldn’t have known how shameless you are!”

Song Jingren was dumbfounded for a moment before he flew into a rage. “Song Fengwan, how dare you!

“I’m your father!”

“Just as my mom said, you’re not worthy of being my father at all!”

“You…”

Song Fengwan took a step forward. “You said Mom didn’t want me to see you because she wanted to get more assets. I’ll make it clear today.

“Mom has never mentioned anything about your divorce to me.

“Besides…” She smiled faintly. “Ever since that incident happened, she hasn’t said a single bad thing about you in front of me. She has never even complained about you or revealed her hatred for you.

“You, on the other hand, criticized her the moment we met. If you hadn’t mentioned the assets, I wouldn’t have known I was so useful.

“Hah—” Song Fengwan laughed bitterly. “In your heart, I merely have some value right now.”

Song Jingren had never expected that Qiao Aiyun had never said anything bad about him.

For him to twist facts in front of Song Fengwan was akin to shooting himself in the foot.

“When you wanted to acknowledge Jiang Fengya with great fanfare, you should have understood that you would eventually need to give up some things.

“You didn’t care about my feelings back then. Now, you’re saying that you did something wrong…

“I’m no longer a three-year-old child. I’m very clear about who treats me sincerely and who’s plotting against me. I’ll tell you clearly today…”

Song Fengwan took a deep breath.

“I’m the one who suggested the divorce.

“After the divorce, I will follow Mom and let her deal with all the assets under my name. Even if she wants to kick you out of the company, you deserve it!”

Kick me out of the company? These words hit Song Jingren’s sore spot.

What he cared about the most was the company. When he heard this, he flew into a rage. “Song Fengwan, you’re so daring and presumptuous! Who spoiled you to dare to speak to me like this?!”

As he spoke, he raised his arm and slapped her face.

The crisp sound of the slap startled the students around them.

After Song Jingren slapped her, his fingers were trembling, and he was a little dumbfounded.

“Song Jingren, you’re f*cking crazy!” Qiao Aiyun hurriedly pulled Song Fengwan over and checked her face.

Song Jingren didn’t expect that she wouldn’t dodge and took the slap just like that.

“He’s my father. This slap can be considered as returning the favor of him raising me.” Song Fengwan’s skin was fair and tender, so when she got slapped, it quickly turned red and swollen…

It was a ghastly sight.

“Song Jingren!” Qiao Aiyun was so angry that she reached out to push him. “Get lost! Get lost…!”

“What do you mean by returning the favor of me raising you? Song Fengwan, make yourself clear.” Song Jingren pushed Qiao Aiyun away, grabbed Song Fengwan’s arm, and questioned her harshly.

“I’ve raised you for more than ten years. I’ve put in so much effort, yet you want to cut off all ties with me when I haven’t even gotten anything in return?”

In his eyes, Song Fengwan had always been well-behaved, obedient, and sensible. When she said those words, his heart trembled.

Song Fengwan shook away her arm from his grip.

“I just felt so sorry for you, seeing you working for the company every day and night. When the Fu family came to propose marriage, you had never been that happy before. I know that I’ve had a good life and enjoyed things that others don’t have, so I will definitely have to sacrifice some things. Perhaps even my marriage isn’t up to me. So when you told me to get engaged, I agreed.

“You spent so much money to nurture me so that I could marry into a good family to help you. I really tried my best.

“In the end, you still kicked me away!” Song Fengwan shouted at him hysterically.

“I already almost sacrificed my entire life for you before. What else do you want me to do?!”

Song Jingren was dumbfounded. He didn’t know how to answer her question.

“Tell me. What else do you want me to do? Become a tool for you to profit from? And then wait for you to kick me away when I no longer have any value?” Song Fengwan’s tears kept falling, but she stubbornly raised her head.

When some emotions were suppressed for too long, they would eventually erupt in an instant.

“I’m calling you Dad for the last time. At this point, don’t make me hate you anymore.”

Song Jingren clenched his fists tightly. Even a heartless person wouldn’t be able to remain indifferent after hearing this.

There was a boy standing very close to Song Fengwan. He was holding his phone and preparing to take a video and post it online to gain attention. But now, even he had already put away his phone.

Song Fengwan smiled at him. “Thank you.”

The boy was instead flustered.

“Let’s go.” Qiao Aiyun was almost pushed down by Song Jingren just now, and it was the first time she heard Song Fengwan say such things.

When Song Fengwan was young, Qiao Aiyun thought that she was sensible, but nobody knew how many things she had hidden in her heart.

She pulled Song Fengwan and prepared to leave.

“Wait.” Song Jingren’s heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously reached out to grab her.

At this moment, someone had already rushed through the crowd and reached out to hold Qiao Aiyun’s arm, protecting both mother and daughter behind him.

Yan Wangchuan exercised often and had excellent physical fitness. Even after running so far, he was only slightly out of breath.

Qiao Aiyun’s eyes were slightly red, and Song Fengwan’s eyes were even redder from crying.

“He hit you?” Yan Wangchuan looked at the side of Song Fengwan’s face. It was obviously red and swollen. His eyebrows were cold, and even his words were cold.

Song Fengwan shook her head slightly. “Uncle Yan, let’s go.”

“You two get in the car first. I’ll take care of this.” He passed the car key to Qiao Aiyun and motioned for them to leave first.

At this moment, the security guards patrolling the school came over to inquire about the situation.

“Senior Brother…” Qiao Aiyun hesitated.

“I’ll handle it properly,” Yan Wangchuan said seriously, giving people a great sense of security.

Qiao Aiyun nodded and drew Song Fengwan toward the school gates.

“Wanwan—” Song Jingren knew that if he let them go this time, there wouldn’t be the slightest leeway for things to turn around.

Yan Wangchuan stretched out an arm and blocked his way. “Mr. Song, why bother making things difficult for women? I’ll talk with you.”

Song Jingren wanted to ask him: ‘Who the f*ck are you to speak up for them?’

But considering Yan Wangchuan’s identity, he swallowed the words back into his mouth.

“Over there, there are fewer people.” Yan Wangchuan pointed to a quiet and secluded area.

Song Jingren gritted his teeth and followed Yan Wangchuan.

***

Qiao Aiyun sent Song Fengwan to the car and settled her down. “Wanwan, I’ll go check on your Uncle Yan.”

She was really worried about the two of them being alone. It was just that it was too chaotic just now, and she really didn’t want Song Fengwan to continue staying there, so she wanted to send her out first.

“Okay.” Song Fengwan nodded.

Before Qiao Aiyun could reach the school gates, a police car arrived and drove directly into the campus.

Later, when Qiao Aiyun met Yan Wangchuan again, it was at the police station.

According to the eyewitnesses, Yan Wangchuan grabbed Song Jingren by the collar, pinned him against the wall, and one-sidedly beat him up until his face was bruised and swollen.

Qiao Aiyun was furious. Is this what he meant by handling it properly?
