"Tell me the truth, did you break up with Rong Bing because of Zhou Luo?" Han Yue asked, looking into Fu Jingchen's eyes. "How can I help you if I don't tell the truth?"
Fu Jingchen confessed everything in detail.
"Is this what you call a seamless transition? Obviously, he's found someone else, which is why he was so heartless to Rong Bing." Rong Yan never believed in the coincidence of meeting someone else right after breaking up.
"Sister-in-law." Fu Jingchen called out for the first time ever, looking like a helpless child.
Han Yue thought for a moment and said, "How about I go with you? Rong Bing has been in the Fu family for several years, and I have some feelings for her. It's only right for a mother to stand up and apologize when her son makes a mistake."
Fu Jingchen's nose actually felt sore; he never expected that the person he had previously tried to scheme against would now want to help him.
"Mom, I'm such a jerk. I'm so old, and I still need you to speak up for me..." Fu Jingchen said remorsefully.
Han Yue interrupted, "Don't talk about these things, think about what Rong Bing might do."
The group first devised a plan on how to deal with Rong Bing, and then Fu Jingsheng told them about their situation.
Fu Jingchen said that his company is quite stable now, and he can pick up and drop off the children with his adoptive mother to ensure the safety of his nephews.
Rong Bing glanced at the time every now and then, wondering how late Fu Jingchen meant by "late".
The woman was a little sleepy. She made herself a cup of coffee, drank it, and turned the TV in the living room up to the maximum volume.
Late at night, Han Yue and Fu Jingchen rang the doorbell together, while Fu Jingsheng waited in the car.
Knowing that Fu Jingchen had arrived, Rong Bing opened the door with a smile, only to find Han Yue there.
The woman's expression instantly turned serious: "Auntie, what brings you here?"
“I asked my mom to come.” Fu Jingchen was standing right next to him.
"Jing Chen." Upon seeing Fu Jing Chen, Rong Bing's smile returned.
"I've told my mom about us, and she wants to come see you." Fu Jingchen implied that Han Yue didn't need to avoid discussing their conversation.
"Did Auntie listen to the recording?" Rong Yan asked shamelessly.
"Such a disgusting sound, do you think everyone is like you, making noise everywhere?" Fu Jingchen admired Rong Bing's shamelessness; she could even ask such a question.
"Let Auntie hear if it's you." What was Rong Bing afraid of? Her reputation was already ruined; she just wanted to disgust Han Yue.
"No need for that. Just tell me how you want to reconcile." Fu Jingchen stood there after entering the room, and he subconsciously glanced at Rong Bing to see if the woman had prepared any sharp weapons.
Rong Bing was wearing a tank top, the thin fabric clinging to her body, making it impossible to tell that she was carrying any sharp weapons.
"Get dressed," Fu Jingchen said, turning his head to the side.
“It’s my own home, what I wear is none of your business,” Rong Bing said, ignoring him.
"Jingchen, let's get down to business," Han Yue reminded her son to stop arguing with Rong Bing.
The three people sat down around the dining table.
"How much do you want?" Fu Jingchen asked expressionlessly.
"I don't want money, I want an explanation." Rong Bing hoped that Fu Jingchen and Zhou Luo would break up. "If Zhou Luo knew that you were with me yesterday, would she still be with you? It's hard to tell who the other woman is right now."
Rong Bing said this with a hint of pride.
“I put something in your milk last night.” Fu Jingchen suddenly pinched the woman’s chin.
Han Yue quickly pried her son's hands away: "Don't hit him."
"Getting anxious? So who's the third party here? Fu Jingchen, do you even understand? Auntie, listen to this, isn't it normal for couples to block and delete each other after arguing? It doesn't count if they haven't broken up face to face. We only blocked each other for a few days, and they're already together." Rong Bing was convinced that Fu Jingchen was cheating.
Han Yue stated the matter objectively: "Kid, not all breakups need to be said face-to-face. In the adult world, if you don't contact each other for more than a week, it's considered a breakup. Besides, you two formally discussed it on the phone. Of course, Jing Chen also made mistakes. Although it's none of your business if he gets another girlfriend, he shouldn't have said no when you asked."
Rong Bing knew that Han Yue was Fu Jingchen's adoptive mother. Even though they had conflicts before, Han Yue still helped Fu Jingchen in crucial moments. But what Han Yue said made sense, so Rong Bing did not refute it.
“Child, you have a long road ahead of you. There’s no need to make things worse now. You know the Fu family’s current situation. For the sake of our past relationship, let’s leave it at that, okay? This money is a small token of my appreciation. It’s not much, but you can use it as a down payment to buy a small apartment in Tiancheng.” Han Yue took out a check from her bag. Three hundred thousand yuan was indeed not much; it could only buy an apartment in the suburbs of Tiancheng.
Rong Bing refused to accept it.
“Auntie, I don’t want your money, and I don’t want to make things difficult for you. You and Grandma were very good to me when I was in the Fu family. I want Fu Jingchen to apologize publicly and tell everyone that I wasn’t being unreasonable. He wronged me first.” Rong Bing wanted an explanation.
But if she asked Fu Jingchen to go public, how could Fu Jingchen possibly agree?
“I disagree. I haven’t wronged you. I didn’t do anything wrong when I was with you. What you’re asking me to say is just telling everyone that I’m a scumbag and cheated on my girlfriend with her best friend.” Fu Jingchen flatly rejected the idea.
“Fu Jingchen, I know in my heart whether you cheated on me or not. You can choose to admit your wrongdoing yourself, or I can release the recording. What happened between you and your ex-girlfriend last night? Once the recording is released, you'll be wronging more than just me.” Rong Bing refused to compromise.
“There’s no need to post it online, Bingbing. Our story has already taken up too much public resources. Netizens don’t really care about us; they just want to watch the drama unfold. On the surface, they’re standing up for someone, but behind our backs, they’re laughing at us.” Han Yue listed her experiences while grocery shopping.
"Bingbing, you and Rongyan are related. Auntie sincerely hopes you are doing well. Jingchen came with good intentions, and Auntie wants to say something in front of both of you: if you ever encounter any problems in the future and need our help, we will definitely help you." Han Yue held Rongbing's hand.
"I want him to break up with Zhou Luo, otherwise I'll never get over this. I'll accept Fu Jingchen with anyone except Zhou Luo." Rong Bing was clearly going against Zhou Luo.
"I'm with whoever I'm with, it doesn't matter." Fu Jingchen didn't understand Rong Bing's feelings. "I haven't mistreated you these past few years, so why can't we part ways amicably?"
“I can’t stand that bitch.” Rong Bing’s eyes were practically spitting fire when she mentioned Zhou Luo. “Anyone but her is fine. Either break up, or I’ll send her the recording. Even if she hears it, you’ll still break up.”
Fu Jingchen steered the conversation back to the drugging incident, but Rong Bing denied it.
She emphasized that she did not drug him, and besides, Fu Jingchen was conscious.
Fu Jingchen has no evidence, and even if he tells Zhou Luo that he was set up, Zhou Luo probably won't believe him.
"It's hard to say what kind of medicine it is right now, but Bingbing, Jingchen and that Luo Gang are together. If you ask them to break up now, they'll be unwilling. It's better to let them be. Maybe they'll realize they're not right for each other after a while and break up." Han Yue tried to smooth things over. "Besides, even if Jingchen agrees to you now, will you keep an eye on him 24/7? You won't even know if they've broken up or not."
