Chapter 74

Su Ziqin sat in the back, looking suspiciously at Fu Chenlan in the driver’s seat. Fu Chenlan had woken her up early and wouldn’t say where they were going. What was supposed to be a family outing had turned into just Fu Chenlan and the two of them.

Su Ziqin wanted to ask where they were going, but Fu Chenlan’s expression was a little serious, which made Su Ziqin a bit hesitant to ask.

When the car arrived at Jing City’s Martyrs’ Cemetery, Fu Chenlan, who had been silent the whole way, finally spoke. “Today is your god-aunt’s death anniversary.”

Su Ziqin was about to ask about Yangyang when Fu Chenlan immediately answered her question. “Yangyang couldn’t make it today because he has something to do. Daughter-in-law, you can represent him.”

After saying that, Fu Chenlan took a bouquet of white lilies from the trunk and handed it to Su Ziqin. Su Ziqin took them, thinking that what Fu Chenlan said made sense.

Unlike other cemeteries, the Martyrs’ Cemetery wasn’t so desolate. Perhaps it was because the heroes of China were resting here.

Fu Chenlan glanced at the small forest behind her. Even without using her brain domain, Fu Qingyun knew Wu Jianjun was hiding in the woods.

Fu Chenlan led the two of them to a tombstone. The tombstone was simple, with only a few words: “Tomb of Martyr Wu Jing.”

“Little Yun’er, you two should bow to your god-aunt.”

Fu Chenlan felt a mix of emotions. It was the first time she had learned that Wu Jianjun had a younger sister. This sister had died very young, at twenty, in the prime of her life. It was also the first time she had learned that Su Ziqin was very likely the orphaned daughter of this martyr who had rested here for so long.

She had heard the complex story for the first time last night, and it was the first time she had seen the old cow’s eyes turn red.

Fu Qingyun pulled Su Ziqin, and the two of them knelt in front of the tombstone and bowed three times. Su Ziqin helped Fu Qingyun up, her heart aching as she looked at Fu Qingyun’s knees. Her Alpha liked to wear skirts, and her fair, tender knees had been on the ground.

Su Ziqin carefully brushed the dust off Fu Qingyun’s knees. Anyone could see how much she cherished Fu Qingyun.

“Daughter-in-law,” Fu Chenlan said in a deep voice. Su Ziqin turned to look at her. “What is it, Mother?”

Su Ziqin thought Fu Chenlan was acting strangely today, as if she had something to tell her but was hesitant.

Fu Chenlan took a deep breath and said to [bailiantales.com]Su Ziqin with a smile, “Ziqin, do you want to find your family? I’m not talking about the Su family. I mean your real family.”

Su Ziqin’s expression changed. It was a cold look that Fu Chenlan had never seen on Su Ziqin’s face before.

“Why should I? They threw me away so easily. Do you know what kind of life I had in the Su family? I don’t need them.”

Fu Chenlan swallowed. Su Ziqin’s attitude was very cold. It seemed her resentment towards her biological family ran deep. “But what if your family wants to find you?”

“Heh,” Su Ziqin sneered. “Find me? If they wanted to find me, they would have a long time ago. Do they need to wait twenty years?”

“But what if everything was just an accident?” Fu Chenlan continued to ask.

Su Ziqin held Fu Qingyun’s hand and said coldly, “An accident? Can one word make up for my twenty years of suffering? I didn’t need a family in the past, and I don’t need one in the future. I don’t want anyone but my wife.”

Su Ziqin wasn’t a love-struck fool, but Fu Qingyun was a treasure she had found in two lifetimes. Su Ziqin was naturally extremely protective of her. Aside from Aunt Bao, Su Ziqin had never experienced a family’s love. Only Fu Qingyun could give her what she wanted. Su Ziqin was the type of person who, once she set her mind on something, would never let go, and once she didn’t want something, she wouldn’t care about it at all.

“But…”

“Mother, you’re acting very strange today.” Su Ziqin frowned, suspicion in her amber eyes. “Are you asking me this because my so-called family has found you?”

Fu Chenlan quickly shook her head. “No, not at all. I was just speaking from the heart.”

“Oh.” Su Ziqin pouted. “Then please don’t say things like that to me in the future, Mother. You are my family now. My wife is my lover. That’s enough.”

After saying that, Su Ziqin pulled Fu Qingyun and left the cemetery. When they were out of sight, Wu Jianjun walked out of the woods and stood beside Fu Chenlan.

“You heard everything?” Fu Chenlan sighed.

Wu Jianjun gave a choked “yes.” “I didn’t expect the child to have so much resentment.”

“Heh, do you know how she married Little Yun’er?” Fu Chenlan sneered. She suddenly regretted helping Wu Jianjun test Su Ziqin.

Wu Jianjun frowned, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Fu Chenlan. “How did she get married? Isn’t Qingyun treating her well?”

As he spoke, Wu Jianjun grabbed Fu Chenlan’s shoulder in excitement, his heart starting to feel uneasy. It had only been about ten hours since he met this child yesterday, and he hadn’t had time to investigate her past.

“A year ago, the Su family’s company was on the verge of bankruptcy. It just so happened that my Little Scallion told me she was going to get married and was going to marry Su Ziqin. The Su family and I had an agreement: they would cut all ties with Su Ziqin, and I would help them save their company. In short, Su Ziqin was an Omega that the Su family sold to the Fu family.”

As her words fell, a gust of wind blew through the cemetery. The biting cold wind entered Wu Jianjun’s eyes. He stood there in a daze, looking at Fu Chenlan in disbelief. Wu Jianjun’s Adam’s apple bobbed a few times. A thousand words were stuck in his throat.

Seeing this, Fu Chenlan patted him on the shoulder. “Old Cow, life and death are fated. A-Jing’s death had nothing to do with you, and Su Ziqin’s disappearance has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to force all this on yourself.”

Wu Jianjun took a deep breath, calming his emotions. “I know what you mean, but that child was just born when she went missing. We all thought she was gone. Her mother lost her Alpha and then her child. She’s been mentally unstable for twenty years.

Chenlan, we need the truth, and the Wu family needs this child to come back, even if it’s just to help her mother get better. Maybe if her sister-in-law sees her, she’ll recover.”

“But as you can see, that child’s attitude. If there is one person in this world who can convince her, it’s Little Yun’er,” Fu Chenlan said decisively, pointing out a clear path for Wu Jianjun.

“And before all that, a paternity test still needs to be done. But your sister’s DNA…” Fu Chenlan hadn’t forgotten what Wu Jianjun had told her last night. Wu Jing had died in an explosion, and her body was never found.

“Don’t worry,” Wu Jianjun said, looking at Wu Jing’s tombstone with a gentle expression. “A-Jing was a military martyr. There are DNA samples of her in the database.”

Fu Chenlan looked at her watch, calculating the time. “Then it all depends on that boy Yangyang.”

In Fu Qingyun’s villa, Fu Yanyang furtively entered the code and opened the door. 12138, who had become a smart butler, found him immediately. Just as it was considering whether to treat him as a thief, Fu Qingyun sent it a message to let Yangyang do what he wanted.

12138 held back. This world was too complex and beyond its understanding of the plot. Su Ziqin’s background was so unbelievable. She shouldn’t be just a villainess. The secrets of this world might only be truly unraveled after the great masters complete their development.

Fu Yanyang took off his shoes and walked on the floor in his socks. After a few steps, he felt that his movements were a bit sneaky. He cleared his throat and walked upstairs with confidence.

He walked to the door of the master bedroom, turned the doorknob, and pushed the door open. Fu Yanyang found the bathroom and opened the mirror cabinet in front of the sink. “Which one is it?”

There were two sets of toiletries in the cabinet, one pink and one white. “It’s this one,” Fu Yanyang said, reaching for the pink comb without a second thought. Because under this pile of pink things was written: “For a little fairy’s exclusive use.”

“There’s none,” Fu Yanyang said, holding the comb and looking at it from every angle. There wasn’t a single hair on it. “I can just take the comb, but my sister-in-law will definitely find out.”

Just as he was hesitating, his phone suddenly rang, sounding very loud in the quiet room. Fu Yanyang quickly took out his phone. Because he was feeling guilty, the phone almost fell into the toilet.

Fu Yanyang quickly grabbed his phone and saw that it was Fu Chenlan calling. He immediately answered. “Mother, I found my sister-in-law’s comb, but there’s no hair on it.”

“Huh? Are you sure it’s your sister-in-law’s comb?” Fu Chenlan didn’t trust Yangyang’s ability to get things done.

Fu Yanyang patted his chest proudly. “I’m absolutely sure. It’s just that my sister is a bit cheesy. She even wrote ‘for a little fairy’s exclusive use’ under my sister-in-law’s stuff.”

Fu Chenlan sighed and covered her face. What a fool of a son. “That’s your sister’s comb, not your sister-in-law’s. Hurry and swap it!” With Little Yun’er’s fastidious personality, if Fu Chenlan could find a single strand of her hair, she would write her name backwards.

And! The little fairy was her daughter, not her daughter-in-law. How long had this foolish son been out of the loop? How could he not know anything?

“Huh? My sister is a little fairy?” Fu Yanyang couldn’t connect such a cute nickname with his cold and aloof sister.

Fu Chenlan gritted her teeth. “Are you asking for a beating? My daughter is a little fairy. Hurry up and do [bailiantales.com]your job! Or I’ll beat you.”

Fu Yanyang… “Okay, okay.” I get it. Your daughter is your precious little fairy, and I’m just the one you picked up. Fu Yanyang pouted, put down the pink comb, and reached for the white one. Sure enough, he found a single strand of hair that belonged to Su Ziqin.

Su Ziqin’s hair was easy to identify. It had a natural brown color. Fu Qingyun’s hair was as black as ink. Su Ziqin’s hair was a little yellowish when she was a child due to poor nutrition. Fu Qingyun had spent a lot of effort to restore it, and now it was a natural dark brown.

“Mission complete,” Fu Yanyang said, putting the hair in a sealed bag and reporting to Fu Chenlan on the phone.

Fu Chenlan gave a positive “hmm” to her son’s actions. “Then get out of there and go to the appraisal center with your godfather.”

“Okay, okay.” Fu Yanyang hung up and left the villa.

Everything that happened in the villa was projected into Fu Qingyun’s brain domain by 12138. Fu Qingyun turned her head to look at Su Ziqin.

Su Ziqin was clearly not in a good mood. She was leaning against Fu Qingyun, her amber eyes staring blankly, lost in thought.

“Little fox,” Fu Qingyun said gently.

Su Ziqin’s thoughts were interrupted. She rubbed against Fu Qingyun’s arm in a whiny way. “What is it?” She loved it when Fu Qingyun spoke to her softly. To be precise, she loved it when Fu Qingyun spoke to her at all. Su Ziqin would be head-over-heels for her even if Fu Qingyun just stood there without moving.

Fu Qingyun hugged her. “Let’s go have some fun. How about the amusement park?”

Su Ziqin’s eyes lit up. Was this a date invitation from my wife? “Okay!” It was the first time Fu Qingyun had invited her on a date. Su Ziqin wasn’t going to be silly enough to miss it.

When Fu Chenlan returned to the car, the two of them were already gone. Fu Chenlan rubbed her temples. Is this child’s rebellious phase a little too long? She ran away again when I wasn’t paying attention?


Yangyang: I’m the extra pickled fish in this family.
