Then, everyone looked puzzled.
The woman in front of him was wearing a conservative little suit, her hair was tied up in a Taoist bun, she wore black-rimmed glasses, and had small eyes. How could Mr. Zhou have taken a liking to such an ordinary, even somewhat ugly, woman?
Noticing the distrustful looks from everyone, Zhou Qianqian immediately pulled out her phone and showed the photos: "These are the photos I secretly took that day. The three children are Uncle's bastards! This slut must have plotted to get Uncle into bed with her, and now she wants to use these bastards to seize the family fortune!"
Yi Tianran narrowed her eyes, a terrifying rage suddenly rising in them: "..."
Bastard?
How dare she speak of her son like that? Yi Tianran will make this woman pay the price for those words!
She opened her mouth, about to speak, when a sneer came first: "The Zhou family is indeed quite interesting. The whole clan pretends to be deaf and dumb, not content with sucking blood, they want to skin and rip off bones. Now, they even point at my son and call him a bastard."
When the laughter came, Yi Tianran didn't think much of it at first, but when the other person spoke, Yi Tianran's expression tightened. She looked up and saw a tall and slender figure standing there under the spotlight. His black suit made his face look even whiter and colder. An aura of nobility flowed from him, silently suppressing everyone.
"Fu Yunchen, what is he doing here!" Yi Tianran was completely taken aback that the Zhou family could actually invite Fu Yunchen to the family banquet, and a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.
As Mr. Zhou approached Fu Yunchen, she shrank back, then shrank again, quickly disappearing into the crowd rushing towards Fu Yunchen, preparing to run away. However, the next moment, Fu Yunchen seemed to have known her intentions. He strode forward with his long legs, blocking her way and locking her in his arms. He looked at Zhou Qianqian, his voice cold enough to freeze the lava beneath the ground: "You dare to secretly photograph my son?!"
Zhou Qianqian's hand trembled as he swept his gaze over her, and her phone fell to the ground with a thud: "How...how could this be...those three bastards are clearly..."
"Bastard?" Fu Yunchen's voice turned into icicles that pierced into Zhou Qianqian's bones.
The next moment...
"Slap!" Master Zhou scrambled to his feet, grabbed his daughter's clothes, and swung his hand at her again. "You spouting nonsense! You'll never say anything nice! You even dared to insult Mr. Fu's child. If you want to die, get the hell out of here, and don't drag your whole family into this..."
Mr. Zhou's expression was equally somber, yet a strange feeling arose in his heart.
He knew Yi Tianran's background better than anyone else, but he never expected that she would be involved with Fu Yunchen.
Could it be that she is the mother of Fu Yunchen's two sons?
But... her appearance is really... not flattering. Mr. Fu's taste is truly...
No wonder outsiders don't know who the mother of Fu Yunchen's son is. With that appearance, even if Fu Yunchen likes her, the Fu family can't afford to lose face, so they probably don't want to announce it to the public.
However, business people are shrewd, so they naturally wouldn't say it directly. Everyone sidled up to Fu Yunchen, showering him with compliments. By the time Fu Yunchen managed to extricate himself from their midst, Yi Tianran had already vanished.
The cunning rabbit has three burrows; did it escape again?
Fu Yunchen's lips curled into a cold smile.
Taking advantage of the crowd gathered around, Yi Tianran seized the opportunity to slip away. With so many people around, Fu Yunchen, mindful of his status, naturally couldn't make any big moves, which gave her the perfect chance.
After leaving the Zhou family home, Yi Tianran headed straight for the parking lot, but halfway there she received a call from Zhou Yuning: "Sister Tianran, you're amazing! You managed to calculate everything. If it weren't for you today, I really..."
As she spoke, she choked up again. Yi Tianran hid in the shadows and comforted her: "That would have to be if you were obedient and memorized all the lines. But Yu Ning, you saw it, didn't you? Today's situation is enough to prove how dangerous your father's situation is. As your daughter, if you become strong, you can at least make sure he has less to worry about. And you experienced it yourself today. Dealing with those people is not difficult at all."
“Yes, Dad said he’s already made arrangements for those people and asked me to thank you for everything you’ve done for the Zhou family. But I still have a question,” Zhou Yuning asked. “How did you know my dad was poisoned by Kun?”
“When I first saw your father, I noticed that his symptoms were similar to those of Kun’s poisoning. In theory, any ordinary doctor could have detected this, but you never did. That’s why I suspect that the doctor was bribed. After this incident, you can start screening all the servants in the house.” At this point, Yi Tianran suddenly paused. “Wait a minute, your father just spoke to you? So… he doesn’t have to socialize anymore?” Tonight, Mr. Zhou only had time to talk to his daughter when he wasn’t socializing.
If he doesn't socialize, it means Fu Yunchen won't be at the banquet.
After all, as long as that man is present, everyone will try to curry favor with him, and Mr. Zhou is no exception.
"Yes, Mr. Fu has already left. Dad didn't want to deal with the others, so he arranged for them to be handled by lawyers..."
Yi Tianran's heart skipped a beat. She hung up the phone, turned around, and saw a familiar figure walking towards her against the light: "Even on the run, he doesn't forget his work. There aren't many people this dedicated."
Yi Tianran pursed her lips, glancing back out of the corner of her eye. She secretly cursed herself for digging her own grave by choosing such a blind spot, but a smile appeared on her face: "It is my honor to have you condescend to attend the Zhou family's banquet."
The distance between the two was not long. Fu Yunchen blocked her way in just a few steps. His broad hand grabbed her wrist, and his narrow eyes narrowed with a dangerous light: "You kidnapped my child and you still have the nerve to come back and swindle people? It seems that your experience in running away over the years has emboldened you quite a bit."
The disparity in strength between men and women made Yi Tianran give up struggling from the start. She smiled and said, "Do you want to see the children?"
"Want to negotiate with me?" Fu Yunchen raised an eyebrow. "You're trapped now."
“I know when to be sensible.” Yi Tianran wrapped her other arm around his, leaning softly against him. “It’s not very nice of you to describe me as a turtle. What are your sons then? Little turtles? Aren’t you…”
Fu Yunchen almost laughed out of anger. He pulled his arm away, tightened his grip on her waist, and lifted her up with one hand. As he walked towards the car, he whispered in her ear, his deep, mellow voice carrying a hint of coldness: "And what are you then?"
