Chapter 159 Provocation
Fu Zhiqing had no idea of Zeng Shuwan's guilt. She was only focused on preventing Ruan Liuzheng from entering the Xie family.
She leaned quietly in Zeng Shuwan's arms, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly, looking vaguely malicious.
She concealed it very well, and when she looked up again, her face had returned to being well-behaved and sensible.
She pursed her lips, looking a little embarrassed, "Grandma, this Ruan Liuzheng is my brother's ex-wife, and the child in your arms is surnamed Fu, and he is my brother's biological son."
"You have no idea how scheming Ruan Liuzheng is. She is not worthy of entering the Xie family."
Fu Zhiqing groaned, her eyes filled with disgust. "Besides, Ruan Liuzheng has liked my brother since college, and it hasn't even been a month since they divorced. How could she fall in love with someone else so quickly? She must have deliberately tried to get close to my uncle."
Zeng Shuwan's eyes paused slightly when she heard this.
She frowned. This was somewhat inconsistent with the investigation results she received. It seemed that the Fu family had deliberately concealed it.
She patted Fu Zhiqing's hand, briefly comforted the excited Fu Zhiqing, and then looked up at Fu Yanci beside her.
Fu Yanci is Fu Zhiqing's brother. Not only is he much older than Fu Zhiqing, he is also the current person in charge of the Fu Group.
Compared with Fu Zhiqing who couldn't control her emotions, she was more willing to seek answers from this more stable grandson.
Zeng Shuwan glanced at the indifferent Xie Qingcen and Ruan Liuzheng with a blank expression, "Yanci, is what Zhiqing just said true?"
Fu Yanci nodded, "Yes."
Since Ruan Liuzheng had no intention of saving his face, why should he cover up for Ruan Liuzheng?
Moreover, given Ruan Liuzheng's current temper, if he really let her become the mistress of the Xie family, wouldn't his envisioned plan be even more difficult to implement?
By then, let alone getting some benefits for the Fu family, even for the Xie family, he and Zhiqing might not be able to come.
Zeng Shuwan and Xie Zhenting, who is far away abroad, are both old. No matter how powerful and capable they were when they were young, when they become a handful of earth, how much can they leave for him and Zhiqing?
What Fu Yanci had ever asked for was never a little bit of charity out of apology, what he wanted was the eternal protection of the Xie family.
He needs the protection of the Xie family and needs the Xie family to help him realize his ambitions.
Fu Yanci frowned slightly, and a barely perceptible ambition rippled in his dark eyes.
He didn't say anything, just quietly waited for Zeng Shuwan's reaction, waiting for Zeng Shuwan to digest this shocking truth.
There are some things that you don't need to do yourself, someone will do it for you.
After a long silence, Zeng Shuwan looked at Xie Qingcen coldly. All the satisfaction she had just felt because of Ruan Liuzheng disappeared, leaving only coldness.
She said with a little anger, "Xie Qingcen! Do you still remember your identity? Do you know about these things, or..."
"I know! My wife has never thought of hiding anything. In my eyes, no matter what Liu Zheng's identity is, it will not change my feelings for her."
Xie Qingcen didn't even try to quibble. He nodded affirmatively, with a faint smile on the corner of his thin lips.
Taking advantage of the gaps in conversation, her dark phoenix eyes would occasionally glance at Ruan Liuzheng beside her, with an indescribable look of doting and tenderness.
But when facing other people, his attitude suddenly changed.
He raised his chin slightly, and his eyes slowly fell on Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing, with a hint of disdain hidden in his delicate eyebrows.
He curled his lips and said, "But what I care about most now is your attitude towards my wife!"
"No matter what happened in the past, Liu Zheng is currently my wife, and she represents me. I know you are dissatisfied with her, but I'm sorry, you must keep it to yourself."
Xie Qingcen's eyebrows moved, and the smile on the corners of his lips became brighter and brighter. He should have looked gentle, but inexplicably he made people feel cold all over.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "My identity is here. If you don't respect her, you are disrespecting me!"
"So...when you talk about her, shouldn't you think carefully about your tone or the way you address her?"
Although he did not say it explicitly, everyone present was smart and had experienced many ups and downs. Even Fu Zhiqing keenly realized what Xie Qingcen meant.
She hid behind Zeng Shuwan without leaving a trace and bit her lips subconsciously.
His fingers tightly grasped the hem of Zeng Shuwan's clothes.
Zeng Shuwan turned her head and frowned unconsciously. She took a deep breath and looked at Xie Qingcen, "Qingcen, you're going too far. Although Yanci and Zhiqing are your nephews, this is their first time to come to the Xie family. Is this your attitude towards them as an elder?"
"Have all the etiquette I taught you since you were a child gone to waste?"
Xie Qingcen smiled faintly, his dark eyes were full of calmness, but there was a slight cold light hidden under the calmness.
But before he could say anything, Ruan Liuzheng beside him could no longer hold back and stood up.
She moved forward slightly, her slender figure blocking Xie Qingcen just in time. If someone didn't know the situation, they might think she was protecting someone.
She glanced indifferently at Zeng Shuwan, who looked unhappy, and Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing, who were hiding behind Zeng Shuwan like quails.
Her eyes were sharp and she did not miss the flash of gloating on Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing's faces.
Her eyes turned cold, and her light pink lips slowly curled up into a sarcastic arc.
I thought Xie Qingcen's mother was a smart person, but now it seems that she is just so-so.
Ruan Liuzheng frowned, subtly concealing the coldness in her eyes.
She stretched out her hand and took Fu Jingcheng from Zeng Shuwan's arms with a slightly forceful movement. Her son was born with great difficulty. According to the current trend, Zeng Shuwan had obviously begun to have opinions about her.
There was absolutely no way she would leave her son in Zeng Shuwan's hands anymore. No one knew what would happen next.
It would be bad if my son was hurt by accident.
Ruan Liuzheng's eyes dimmed slightly, she raised her eyes, her brows were indifferent and cool as water.
The cold voice was like the first snow in winter, so calm without a trace of warmth.
"There is nothing wrong with Xie Qingcen's attitude! Aunt Xie, I have never thought of hiding my past. And when you question Xie Qingcen, do you want to first understand the two people behind you?"
Ruan Liuzheng changed the subject, her pretty eyes and eyebrows were tinged with a hint of teasing. She raised her hand and pointed at Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing, and a faint arc appeared at the corners of her light crimson lips.
She slowly said, "Let's find out... Are they worthy of respect? Aunt Xie, from the moment I walked in to the first words you said to me, I always thought you were a reasonable person."
"You, should be able to hear the provocation in Fu Zhiqing's words, right?"
