Chapter 93 Gentle Care
Xu Qinghe's arm was gripped so tightly it hurt; the force was so strong that she couldn't move.
Xu Qinghe looked up and saw a tall man with a fair complexion standing in front of her.
"Who are you! Let go of me! Do you even know who I am?! I'm the mother-in-law of the Fu family, the mother of the lady of this villa!"
Xu Qinghe was shouting loudly on the spot, attracting everyone's attention.
Jiang Ranxing was not hit in the cheek by the expected gravity. She raised her beautiful, watery eyes and looked to the side.
"Mr. Wen..."
Jiang Ranxing was surprised to find it was him.
Wen Qingrang, dressed in a sharp casual suit, stood next to her and was much taller than her. He then smiled gently.
"Mrs. Fu, it's been a long time." His tone was as gentle as ever.
Wen Qingrang turned to look at Xu Qinghe and forcefully pressed down her raised hand.
"You are Madam Jiang, right? What happened that made you slap your own daughter in public? It's such a laughing stock."
Wen Qingrang spoke in a gentle tone, and although his voice was very soft, there was an undeniable air of authority about him.
Xu Qinghe wasn't sure who he was, but he seemed quite wealthy, so she took a few steps back and moved to Jiang Huanchen's side.
Jiang Huanchen stepped forward and said loudly and rudely, "Who are you? What's your relationship with my sister? It's none of your business to talk about our family matters!"
Wen Qingrang maintained a smile throughout, seemingly unconcerned by Jiang Huanchen's shouts.
“Mr. Jiang, I shouldn’t interfere in your family affairs, but I came to see Mrs. Fu on business and offered my help when I saw her being bullied. Is that permissible?”
Upon hearing that it was official business, Jiang Huanchen and Xu Qinghe exchanged a glance.
"Oh—you're the Wen guy who seduced my sister from the villa before. What are you doing here? Are you trying to be a mistress and interfere in my sister's marriage?!"
Jiang Huanchen's words remained as sarcastic as ever, and he launched into a tirade against Wen Qingrang.
However, Wen Qingrang did not seem to be affected by Jiang Huanchen and Xu Qinghe's words.
Wen Qingrang didn't listen to what the two people were saying.
“Mrs. Fu and I have no improper relationship,” Wen Qingrang said, stepping slightly in front of Jiang Ranxing. “You two should refrain from speaking carelessly, lest it damage Mrs. Fu’s reputation.”
Jiang Ranxing's eyes flickered slightly as she looked up at the man standing in front of her, pretending to protect her.
She was a little unsure about Wen Qingrang.
Lin Xuesha, who was standing to the side, was equally shocked. She hadn't expected Wen Qingrang to suddenly appear and protect Jiang Ranxing.
She originally wanted to see how the Jiang family would bully Jiang Ranxing.
If things escalate today and Jiang Ranxing gets injured, she might just go with the flow and cause Jiang Ranxing to miscarry.
Who knew that Wen Qingrang would suddenly appear and catch her off guard.
Lin Xuesha's face stiffened, and she managed a weak laugh before saying to Wen Qingrang, "Qingrang, what brings you here today?"
Wen Qingrang slightly raised his chin, gesturing to the butler who was holding a gift box at the door.
“My grandfather just brought back some cellar wine from an overseas estate. I personally delivered some to the Fu family. I just came to Shen Yuan’s place from the Fu family’s old house, and I didn’t expect to run into this big show.”
Lin Xuesha looked over, and then her gaze towards Wen Qingrang changed slightly, as if she was angry and blaming Wen Qingrang for appearing and ruining the scheme she had set up earlier.
Wen Qingrang didn't take it seriously, turned to look at Jiang Ranxing's cheek, and asked softly, "How is your cheek? Does it hurt?"
Jiang Ranxing was slightly taken aback, then shook her head: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
Wen Qingrang added, "How could it not hurt if you hit so hard?"
Jiang Ranxing shook her head, smiled gently, and thanked him for his concern.
Although Jiang Ranxing didn't know why Wen Qingrang was showing concern for her.
But now is not the time to think about these things.
Wen Qingrang said, "I'll help you handle things here."
Jiang Ranxing whispered his thanks to Wen Qingrang, then said, "Thank you. Leave my family matters to me."
Jiang Ranxing nodded to Wen Qingrang, and Wen Qingrang then moved slightly to make way for Jiang Ranxing.
She gently touched her still slightly flushed cheeks. Jiang Ranxing stood in front of Jiang Huanchen and Xu Qinghe, a sharp glint in her eyes.
“Mom, Huanchen, I’m going to make this clear to you today,” Jiang Ranxing said firmly, “I won’t give you any more money. Don’t even think about getting money from me anytime.”
Xu Qinghe and Jiang Huanchen were shocked when they heard this. They were about to hurl insults at Jiang Ranxing when they were intimidated by a slightly warning look from Wen Qingrang behind her.
Xu Qinghe had no choice but to suppress her anger and feign sympathy while pleading for mercy.
"Good daughter, you can't just stand by and watch your brother suffer and be beaten! He's your own brother!"
Xu Qinghe patted Jiang Huanchen on the back, urging him to plead for mercy.
"Yes, sis! I'm your brother! If you don't help me, who will you help? I'm begging you, sis, please give me the money one more time, I promise I won't ask you for money again, okay?!"
Looking at the two of them, Jiang Ranxing felt a moment of tenderness, a tenderness stemming from kinship and blood ties, but she quickly regained her composure.
“Huanchen, you’ve said this before, but you still took money from me time and time again, and I never said anything.”
Jiang Ranxing made up his mind and said, "But now, I really can't indulge you like this anymore. I won't give you any money."
Jiang Huanchen's temper flared instantly, and he shouted loudly.
"You don't care whether I live or die, do you? You just want to watch me die! If you don't care about me, I'll go to my brother-in-law! It's my brother-in-law's money anyway, I'll ask him for it!"
Jiang Huanchen shouted in the living room, "Brother-in-law! Come out and be the judge! My sister has started managing your money! Brother-in-law, are you there?! Brother-in-law!"
The door to the guest room on the second floor opened, and Fu Shenyuan, dressed in pajamas, came out.
The butler was going upstairs at that moment when he ran into Fu Shenyuan.
The butler apologized, "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't have time to come upstairs to inform you. It was Madam's mother and brother who arrived, and Mr. Wen also came."
Fu Shenyuan's expression darkened, as if he had been disturbed and was in a bad mood.
Fu Shenyuan walked down the stairs and only responded to Jiang Huanchen after reaching the living room: "What did you just say?"
As soon as Jiang Huanchen saw Fu Shenyuan, his big spender, arrive, he quickly put on a fawning smile.
"Brother-in-law! I just asked my sister for some living expenses, but she's so stingy and unwilling to give it to me. Brother-in-law, you said it's all your money, how come my sister is acting like she's in charge? You've given us money so many times before, haven't you? Hehehe..."
Fu Shenyuan frowned slightly and asked in a cold voice, "When did I give you any money?"
Jiang Huanchen suddenly froze, staring blankly at Fu Shenyuan.
"Brother-in-law, what are you saying? In the six years you've been married, how much money have you given us? Have you forgotten?"
Fu Shenyuan paused and said, "But I didn't give you any money."
