Song Yan was pleased with the cold attitude of Old master Fu towards the Chen family. She was worried that Madam Chen will somehow succeed in filling up the old master's ears given that she was the mother of that woman but now that she saw Old master Fu walking out of the Chen mansion without giving any face to the Chen couple she relaxed a little.
However, that did not stop her from being wary of Chen Chu Chu, she would be a fool if she thought that today's matter had nothing to do with Chen Chu Chu. In fact, she was sure that Chen Chu Chu had a very good idea about what happened today if anything she might be watching them leave at this moment.
Sure enough!
Just as their family reached the entrance of the Chen family Chen Chu Chu appeared with Chen Xi, the two sisters were talking and laughing as if they 'coincidentally' arrived at the same time as them leaving the Chen house.
When Chen Chu Chu saw their family her face drastically changed and then she immediately rushed over to Old master Fu and Fu Shu Chang.
" Old master Fu, Brother Chang? What are you all doing here?" As she strode over to Old master Fu and Fu Shu Chang, Chen Chu Chu asked with bewilderment but then her gaze fell on Old master Fu's grim face and she understood almost immediately what was going on.
" I am sorry, old master Fu," Chen Chu Chu apologised sincerely as she bowed in front of Old master Fu and the rest of the Fu family. " Did my mother call you because of the last night incident? I am so sorry, I already told her that I was the one at fault and caused a misunderstanding."
" Chu Chu, why are you apologizing to them?" Mother Chen was still upset with the old master Fu, how could she not understand that Old master Fu was looking down on her family?
Mother Chen originally wanted to let them leave without even showing them out but then she came out of the house when she heard Chen Chu Chu's voice. She was worried that the old master Fu will say something to her daughter and embarrass her even further which was why she hurriedly strode out before that happened!
Mother Chen wanted to say something rude to Old master Fu but Chen Chu Chu who understood what was going on in her mother's head immediately interrupted her and said, " Mom, I told you didn't I? It's because of the nonsensical rumours that are flying outside that they misunderstood me. The past is the past and the present is present, don't mess around lest you hurt someone."
As she finished speaking to her mother, Chen Chu Chu turned to look at Old master Fu and bowed once again apologetically. " Please forgive us, it seems that my mother said something unnecessary. Our family will make up to you someday regarding this."
Old master Fu was indeed angered by what Mother Chen did but when he saw Chen Chu Chu sincerely apologize to him, he could not find fault with her and simply nodded. "It's all right, as long as you know."
Song Yan tipped her head to the side just now when she sensed this woman coming she summoned Fang Yanli back but if she was not mistaken, this woman turned her head to look in her direction before she turned her gaze to Old master Fu.
Clearly, she was able to sense the Ying energy left behind by Fang Yanli. She studied the woman without blinking as she turned on her ying and yang eyes ——Chen Chu Chu did not seem as simple as she made herself look.
A normal human's lifeline, luck and their karma were clearly visible to Song Yan as long as she used her Ying and Yang eyes to look at them but Chen Chu Chu was one of the few exceptions whose lifeline she could not see. In fact, it could be seen that the woman's lifeline was all over the place!
This did not happen even with Wu Genji who was raising a demon inside of her.
Also, why was this woman so hung up on Fu Shu Chang? What made her chase her brother-in-law to this point?
As she was thinking about all of this, Song Yan noticed that Chen Chu Chu came to stop in front of Li Wenyi and smiled at her gently, " First Madam Fu, please forgive my mother, I will make things clear to her and everyone in the district again such that they won't make things difficult for you."
Oh, she was good.
Song Yan's eyes flashed with a grim glint as she saw Chen Chu Chu talk with Li Wenyi. If she did not see Chen Chu Chu mocking Li Wenyi in the prophecy of Li Wenyi's death, she would have been taken by this woman's kind gestures and smiles.
Even Madam Chen could not be considered as good as Chen Chu Chu, in fact, the elderly woman was much better than Chen Chu Chu. At least her expressions were visible on her face but Chen Chu Chu —— she was simply beyond Song Yan's understanding.
Song Yan could not find fault with Chen Chu Chu's smile when the latter was talking with Li Wenyi, if anything she looked more than genuine!
The more Song Yan looked at Chen Chu Chu the more she realised that she did not want this woman to do anything with her family.
But for that she will have to see what this woman was hiding, if she was not raising a demon like Wu Genji ….then what was she involved with, for her lifeline to be such a mess!
Song Yan walked over to Li Wenyi who looked uncomfortable and then feigned innocence as she greeted Chen Chu Chu, " Miss Chen, you are looking even more beautiful than before! If you don't mind can you suggest me some good dermatologists as well?"
? With that, she put on a shy expression and added, " I am an actress you see and I still haven't received a break, I am worried I am getting old and maybe its time for me to get some work done on my face, what do you say?"
