Fu Qingyan burst into tears and told Sun Meifen the whole story.
Upon hearing this, Sun Meifen frowned and angrily scolded her for being more trouble than she was worth.
"You silly child! Asking about your cousin's whereabouts and what he's doing so out of the blue makes it obvious to anyone that you're after Huo Zhixing! Do you think his wife would agree to that?"
"Besides, it's none of your business what kind of exercise they do behind closed doors."
Sun Meifen paced back and forth, then sighed heavily, "Sigh, even if Jiang Can had any good feelings towards you before, they've all been ruined by your words!"
After calming down, Fu Qingyan realized that this was indeed the case.
She bit her lip, looked at her mother with teary eyes, and muttered softly, "Then... what should we do now?"
Sun Meifen rolled her eyes at her.
"You're asking me?! Who am I supposed to ask?!"
"Mom, I don't think my sister-in-law would go that far, right?" Fu Qingyan still held a sliver of hope. "When she called just now, she was very nice. She even said she considers me the only friend in this family and hopes I will take care of her in the future!"
"Anyone can say polite words. She may say it, but can you guarantee she really thinks that way?"
“I…” Fu Qingyan lowered her head.
Sun Meifen said worriedly, "Daughter, we have to turn this around... Jiang Can is carrying your cousin's child, which is the apple of the eye of the entire Huo and Fu families! You absolutely cannot go against her at this time, understand?"
"If anything goes wrong with her and she blames it on you, you'll be in deep trouble!"
Fu Qingyan pouted, outwardly agreeing but inwardly resentful.
She couldn't stand her mother's overly cautious manner. Whenever something happened, she would cry and whine to Fu Chengwei, hoping her foolish husband would take the blame.
That guy's an idiot, what kind of ability could he possibly have?
In the entire Fu family, Fu Xiuyu is the most powerful. Over the years, the mother and daughter have been suppressed by Fu Xiuyu, and now there is another Jiang Can!
My mom can swallow this insult, but she can't!
"Hey, I'm talking to you, did you hear me?" Sun Meifen poked her forehead.
"I heard you, I heard you!" Fu Qingyan forced a smile. "Mom, don't worry, I'll get along well with Jiang Can!"
"Hmm!" Sun Meifen felt slightly relieved. "So what do you plan to do?"
Fu Qingyan thought for a moment, "Didn't my sister-in-law get humiliated the other day by being mistaken for an intern? I'll find those people and let her deal with them, to give her some revenge!"
Sun Meifen pondered for a moment and nodded.
"That's not necessarily a bad idea. But don't actually punish those people! Let Jiang Can punish them, and then you can mediate between them. That way, those people will be grateful to you but hold a grudge against Jiang Can!"
"I understand, Mom!"
...
The next morning, Jiang Can spent over an hour on the phone with Fu Qingyan. When she came downstairs, she met Huo Zhixing's helpless gaze.
"Who are you talking to on the phone? Your breakfast is getting cold!"
As he spoke, he prepared to personally carry the plate into the kitchen to reheat it for her.
Jiang Can grabbed his hand, her obsidian-like eyes fixed on him, a playful smile on her face.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Huo Zhixing said with a self-satisfied smile, "Is it because my husband has become more handsome?"
"Yeah," Jiang Can said with a resentful look, touching his face. "My husband is so handsome, he's always being targeted by women, it's so annoying!"
Huo Zhixing was startled and almost dropped the plate.
Another potentially disastrous question?
"Wife, I..."
"Never mind!" Jiang Can smiled, not teasing him anymore. "My husband isn't that kind of person!"
Huo Zhixing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It was your dear cousin who called just now."
Huo Zhixing frowned and said in a deep voice, "What is she making that call for?"
"One day I went to the Fu Group headquarters and was deliberately harassed as if I were an intern," Jiang Can said casually. "Fu Qingyan said she wanted to punish those employees in front of me to vent my anger and told me I absolutely had to go to the Fu Group today."
Huo Zhixing gave a cold laugh.
Fang Han had already told him the whole story. He was just thinking of a way to teach Fu Qingyan a lesson when this person came to him on his own initiative!
"Honey, you don't need to worry about this, I..."
"I'll handle this myself!" Jiang Can said firmly.
Huo Zhixing turned around, looked at her with some concern, and placed his large hand on her waist.
“If you weren’t pregnant, I would definitely let you handle it. But you’re pregnant now, and I’m afraid…”
"Afraid I'll get angry?" Jiang Can laughed. "How could I get angry so easily? Honey, don't worry, I've already thought of a solution. Just let me do it myself, okay?"
Huo Zhixing could never say "no" to her.
Despite his many concerns, he still nodded in agreement and instructed all his spies in the company to be on high alert and protect the young mistress's safety.
Huo Zhixing's wife must be spoiled and pampered unconditionally!
"Okay." He chuckled. "After you've finished dealing with this matter, I have a surprise for you."
...
Soon after, Jiang Can arrived at the Fu family's residence. Fu Qingyan personally greeted her and led her to a conference room on the top floor.
She met several of the employees from that day: Sarah, Jenny, and Li Xiaofan.
The girls had completely lost their arrogance from that day; they were all dejected, like punctured balloons, and when they saw Jiang Can, a look of fear flashed in their eyes.
Jiang Can remembers that none of them could speak Chinese that day.
