Lu Heng rolled his eyes, feeling rather uncomfortable.

He had tried to persuade Fu Chenyuan to have surgery to remove the scars, but Fu Chenyuan refused no matter what. As a result, a woman he hadn't even established a romantic relationship with had already thrown him into a state of confusion.

"Ah Yuan, you didn't run into a female con artist, did you?" Her skills are so superb that she made his brother lose his mind right away. Just listen to his tone, he's definitely a hopeless romantic!

And who's single? We're all single, bro, don't laugh at me!

"Don't rush. You can have the surgery, but my schedule is full in a couple of days. But let me tell you, your scar can actually be a good thing if used properly. Women who care about you will definitely feel sorry for you and be overwhelmed with maternal love. When a woman starts to feel sorry for a man, that means she's not far from falling in love with him."

"I'm not doing it anymore. I'm hanging up." Fu Chenyuan said, and hung up the phone decisively.

Lu Heng tried calling "hello" for a long time, but there was no response. He couldn't believe that his brother had used him and then thrown him away.

The fickle weather of June mirrors Fu Chenyuan's ever-changing face.

Fu Chenyuan hung up the phone, lowered his head and placed a devout kiss on the back of his hand, the hand that Jiang Wanning had just held.

"Young Miss, it's great to have found you."

Fu Chenyuan gave the order: "Prepare wedding candy and red envelopes. Don't make any plans for today. I'm getting married."

Chen Yan suppressed his shock and agreed, carrying out the instructions one by one.

Fu Chenyuan's phone rang; it was Grandma Fu calling.

"Grandma," he called out.

Grandma Fu chuckled and said, "Yuan'er, I called you this morning. My acting wasn't bad, was it? After all, I used to be in the entertainment industry."

When she was young, Mrs. Fu acted in several TV series, but she played mostly decorative roles.

She was extremely beautiful when she was young. Even if her features were disfigured while playing a pretty face, it wouldn't affect her beauty. Fans didn't expect her to have any acting skills; they just liked her looks.

Now that Grandma Fu has retired from the entertainment industry, many fans are still digging up old videos of her, and her beauty easily surpasses that of today's female celebrities.

"Yes, Grandma, you acted so well." Don't do it again next time.

Grandma Fu was very curious: "You've kept that girl hidden so well, we're not going to eat you. Besides, we never interfere in the marriages of the three of you. We only have one requirement: you can choose whoever you like."

"She's shy."

Grandma Fu said seriously, "You didn't really bully that young girl, did you? Since you've provoked her, you have to take responsibility."

"Grandma, I know what I'm doing."

"Alright, alright, as long as you know your limits. I'm going to play cards. It's your Grandma Liu, always bragging about how her grandson got married. Ha, what grandson doesn't get married? Okay, I'm hanging up now." Grandma Fu hung up the phone after saying that.

Fu Chenyuan already had a picture in his mind of Jiang Wanning playing mahjong and cards with Grandma Fu.

He thought she would definitely win the hearts of the old ladies.

Outside the operating room, Jiang Wanning and Jiang Xinkai waited patiently, and even Su Zhihan stayed with them.

Jiang Wanning told her to go back first, but Su Zhihan waved her hand and said, "I'm an adult, I know what I'm doing. Ningning, you just need to accept my feelings."

The sound of high heels clicking echoed down the corridor, followed by a familiar yet cold voice: "Jiang Wanning, has all the upbringing you received in the Zhao family over the years been wasted? Is this how you repay us?"

Zhao's mother, Lin Lin, stepped forward and slapped Jiang Wanning across the face.

Her slap came so fast that no one had time to react.

However, Lin Lin's slap missed its mark. Jiang Xinkai reached out and grabbed Lin Lin's arm, then forcefully swung her away, causing Lin Lin to stagger.

After changing her clothes, Zhao Xuenan exclaimed, "Mom, are you alright?" She helped Lin Lin up.

Lin Lin shoved Zhao Xuenan aside in annoyance and charged aggressively toward Jiang Wanning.

This time, two tall bodyguards blocked Lin Lin's way.

They were a bit far from Jiang Wanning when Lin Lin slapped her, and their hearts skipped a beat.

If Jiang Xinkai hadn't been so protective of his daughter and reacted so quickly, they could have quit their jobs immediately if Jiang Wanning had taken that slap.

"Get out of the way, a good dog doesn't block the way!" The two bodyguards stood firm as mountains, silent but resolute.

Jiang Xinkai frowned as he looked at the wealthy woman Lin Lin, who was behaving like a shrew.

He never expected the meeting between the two families to turn out like this.

Upon seeing Zhao Xuenan, disappointment flashed in Jiang Xinkai's eyes.

"Ms. Lin, I don't know how my daughter Wan Ning offended you, that you would come here to interrogate me like this?"

"Look at Xue Nan's face! Ask your good daughter, she's the one who hit her!"

Zhao Xuenan looked distressed: "Uncle Jiang, it was Wan Ning who hit me."

Jiang Xinkai patted Jiang Wanning's head: "Our Wanning doesn't like to cause trouble. You must have said or done something that is intolerable."

The bias was so obvious, without asking why.

Jiang Wanning's eyes flickered slightly: "Dad~" This "Dad" carried a hint of sincerity.

It turns out that true family members can unconditionally stand by her side.

When she was in the Zhao family, one of the young ladies falsely accused her. Without asking any questions, the Zhao family slapped her twice and made her apologize to that girl.

She did nothing wrong, so why should she apologize?

Just like now, she did nothing wrong, and Jiang Xinkai neither asked why nor thought she was wrong.

Jiang Xinkai gave Jiang Wanning a reassuring look, assuring her that everything was in his hands.

If his daughter were here, she would have been pampered and spoiled growing up.

Judging from Lin Lin's appearance, it's clear that Jiang Wanning, as the investigation revealed, was not treated well at all.

"Uncle Jiang, do you even know her? She's only been back with you for less than a day, and you're already siding with her? I've been by your side for twenty-one years, don't you trust me, but instead trust her?" Zhao Xuenan showed a heartbroken expression. She always knew how to play the victim and how to exploit other people's sympathy.

In the past, whenever she showed such a sad and painful expression, Jiang Xinkai and Xia Rushan would think that she had suffered a great injustice, and they would stand up for her and comfort her.

Unfortunately, this tactic has already failed.

Jiang Xinkai looked at Zhao Xuenan with deep disappointment in his eyes: "I always thought you were just a little spoiled and had a bad temper, but you were kind at heart. Now I understand, you were never meant to be our daughter. No matter how we teach you, it will be useless, because your nature is the same as the Zhao family, and it was destined from the beginning."

Lin Lin was furious: "Do you believe I can make it impossible for you to survive in Nancheng?"

Jiang Xinkai's aura instantly turned fierce: "Go ahead and try!"
