Chapter 33: Already have a wife and children
When Tao Wan saw Jiang Chu appear at the door, a smile immediately spread across her face: "Chu Chu is back, have you eaten yet?"
Jiang Chu shook his head: "I haven't had time to eat yet."
Tao Wan asked the nanny to cook quickly, and took Jiang Chu's hand to sit on the sofa: "Look at you, you've become so thin after going out."
"I've only been out for one day." Jiang Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He looked at Fu Qingan who was standing there: "What happened?"
Tao Wan got angry when she heard this: "She actually got a boyfriend behind our backs!"
"You said she's seventeen, so it's okay for her to have a boyfriend. But I can tell from the first glance that boyfriend isn't a good person. Apart from his face, he's not worthy of her at all."
Jiang Chu understood that her bad love affair had been discovered by Tao Wan.
"Mom, that's because you don't understand him." Fu Qing'an looked at Tao Wan stubbornly, "He's really good to me. Before, when I was going home, a group of thugs tried to rob me, and he saved me."
Tao Wan rolled her eyes: "How could it be such a coincidence? Maybe he sent someone to do it."
Although Tao Wan is a bit naive, she does have some basic intelligence. There is no such coincidence in the world.
But Fu Qingan was so overwhelmed with love that she couldn't listen at all. She continued to explain, "He was beaten so badly that he couldn't even get up. How could it be fake?"
"Mom, you just despise him for being poor, but he's a college student now. Can't you wait for him for a few more years?"
Tao Wan was furious: "Do you think your mother is a rich person?"
"I've raised you for so many years, but I'd rather trust an outsider than your mother."
Fu Ciyan was in a dilemma. He tried to calm Tao Wan down while also trying to calm Fu Qing'an down. "Stop arguing for now. You guys can't start a fight just because of someone you don't know the details of."
Jiang Chu suggested: "Why don't you go to his hometown secretly and take a look, maybe you will find something unexpected."
"Yeah." Fu Ciyan clapped his hands excitedly. "We'll know if we go to his hometown and investigate. If there really is a problem, it'll be good to find it early. If there's no problem, Mom can rest assured."
Fu Qingan thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case: "Let's go. I will definitely let you see what a good person he is."
After saying this, he ran upstairs to pack his things, and it looked like he was going there tomorrow.
Tao Wan had a headache: "How could such a thing happen? I knew at first glance that man was not a good person. Xiao An was the only one who was deceived by him."
Fu Ciyan: "Sister Chuchu, did you see anything? What's wrong with that guy?"
Jiang Chu: "He has a childhood sweetheart and a five-year-old child."
"How audacious!" Tao Wan slammed the table and stood up. "He actually dared to let my daughter be a mistress!"
Fu Ciyan rolled up his sleeves and rushed out: "I'm going to find someone to beat him up."
Jiang Chu pulled the two angry people back and said, "Calm down."
"If we go to him now, he won't admit it and will alert the enemy. Once he has disposed of the evidence and turns the tables on us, Fu Qing'an will be even less likely to believe us."
The two of them calmed down.
Jiang Chu continued, "The truth you find out yourself is often more credible. She's not a fool. She was just deceived by that man's kindness. Once she sees the truth, she will break up with him."
This is indeed the best method at the moment. If they had figured it out themselves, Fu Qing'an would have thought they had tampered with it.
"I really don't know what kind of magic potion that man fed her." Tao Wan sighed, "She doesn't even believe me."
It makes me so angry just thinking about the daughter I raised doubting her own mother because of a man.
Jiang Chu smiled faintly: "The little girl is still young, how can she fight against that old man in his twenties?"
"This time, let's just teach her a lesson."
"Sister Chuchu, have you met that man?" Fu Ciyan was a little curious. "How come you even know how many children he has?"
Jiang Chu: "From Fu Qingan's face, it can be seen that it was just a simple peach blossom before. The two of them hadn't confirmed their relationship at that time, so I didn't see much."
"I saw so many of them today because they have established a relationship."
"Is it really that magical?" Fu Ciyan sighed, "Just one sentence and two people have become more connected."
Jiang Chu smiled and said, "Words are powerful, so you should be careful with your words in the future."
Fu Ciyan's ears turned red, and he instantly realized that Jiang Chu was bringing up the old score from the first day.
Tao Wan also thought of what she said on the first day and hurried upstairs.
Jiang Chu pulled him aside and asked, "Your grandfather seems to be the retired director of the Astronomical Bureau, right?"
"Yes." Fu Ciyan nodded, "What can I do for you?"
Jiang Chu: "Can you take me to see him? I have something important to discuss with him."
It was rare for Jiang Chu to ask him for help, so Fu Ciyan certainly wouldn't refuse. He just said, "You just came back, don't you want to take a break?"
Even if he didn't understand metaphysics, he knew that solving the problem of Xinghua Village would definitely not be easy.
Will it really not make people tired?
"It's okay." Jiang Chu didn't really care about these things. "When I first started practicing, I dealt with ten supernatural incidents in a week and I didn't get tired at all."
"Besides, this matter is very important. I must resolve it as soon as possible."
What Jiang Chu didn't say was that if the problem wasn't resolved quickly, the Heavenly Dao would notice and stop her.
Jiang Chu had never been so serious during the previous ghost-catching and magic-fighting games. Fu Ciyan did not try to persuade him any more and took Jiang Chu directly to the Tao family.
When the nanny came out after cooking, everyone had run away.
The Tao family is not far from the Fu family, just a few streets away.
The two of them ran all the way, and even though Fu Ciyan exercised regularly, he couldn't withstand the constant sprint.
Jiang Chu's breathing was steady, without any sign of fatigue.
Fu Ciyan was so angry that he didn't lose track of Jiang Chu.
The Tao family's house is an old-style residence, and it can be seen that they are either rich or noble, which is in line with the status of the Eight Great Families.
Fu Ciyan was about to die, but he still had to hold on and knock on the door.
The door opened quickly, and the housekeeper was puzzled when he saw the two people outside: "Why did the young master come to the Tao family at this time, and bring someone with him?"
The butler and Jiang Chu had only met once. Because his previous image was too deeply rooted in people's minds, and Jiang Chu's current dressing style and temperament were completely different, the butler did not recognize him at first.
Fu Ciyan: "We need to find grandpa for something."
The housekeeper was embarrassed: "The master is playing chess with Director Song now, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you."
Director Song is the current director of the Astronomical Bureau.
Jiang Chu also calculated that he would be there, so he hurriedly pulled Fu Ciyan over.
Fu Ciyan naturally thought of the astronomical bureau that Jiang Chu had mentioned earlier, so he said to the housekeeper, "Uncle Song is my grandfather's direct disciple, not an outsider. Let's just talk about a few things and it will be over soon."
The butler then took the two of them to the study.
Tao Shenghua, the old man of the Tao family, was wearing a red Zhongshan suit. His face was full of wrinkles and his hair was gray, but he looked energetic.
Sitting in front of him was a middle-aged man in black casual clothes, Song Qin, the current director of the Astronomical Bureau.
Tao Shenghua made a move: "Still haven't found a way to repair the seismometer?"
Song Qin had a headache: "We should have stopped them at that time. Now it has been dismantled and cannot be reassembled."
Tao Shenghua: "It's okay, take your time. Countless people throughout history have studied this seismometer, but none of them have figured it out."
Song Qin: "I'm always panicking, feeling like something big is going to happen."
"Something big is really going to happen." Tao Shenghua smiled and placed a piece, feeling very proud. "No matter where you move, I win. You've already lost!"
"That's not necessarily true." As Song Qin's piece landed, the chess game instantly came back to life!
