Chapter 125 – Cousin Is Very Ruthless, Let Him Go Out Horizontally

When Fu Chen found out that Qiao Xiyan was here, he raised his hand. “Go to the old residence.”
Shi Fang was slightly dumbfounded. We’re almost at the atelier, and you haven’t even seen her, yet we’re going back just like that?
“Third Master, Young Master Qiao has come all the way here from Suzhou. Are you not going to meet him?” Among all of Song Fengwan’s relatives, her cousin, Qiao Xiyan, was considered her close kin. Is he not going to show himself to such an important in-law?
“Qiao Xiyan is smart and is especially protective of his loved ones. Last time, he sent Wanwan over personally. Before he left, he even warned me.”
Shi Fang was surprised. “Warn you?” Oh my. Even Third Master was threatened by someone?
“Do you hope I die before I do anything?”
“I didn’t mean that.” Shi Fang signaled the driver to drive to the old residence. “The art examination is about to start in Yuncheng. Is he here to bring Miss Song back?
“Once she leaves, who knows how long it will take to see her again? The two of you haven’t even gotten together, but you two are already going to be living in different cities?
“From watching the news, many of the people taking the art exam are lively and young handsome men…”
“Stop the car.” Fu Chen’s fingers kept rubbing his phone.
“Third Master, what do you want to do in such a secluded place?” Shi Fang was a chatterbox, and he couldn’t stop talking the moment he opened his mouth.
“Kick you out of the car.” Fu Chen’s tone was slow but cold.
Living in different cities?
Young handsome men? Is he mocking that I’m old?
He’s too noisy and annoying.

On another side…
Qiao Xiyan brought Song Fengwan out of the atelier. He specially drove to the bustling downtown area of the capital, and they entered a high-end restaurant.
The waiter soon began serving the dishes. Every dish was served in an extremely small portion on a large plate. Qiao Xiyan had always been a man of little words, so he lowered his head and ate, not even asking about stuff like puppy love.
This made Song Fengwan feel a little uneasy in her heart. Holding her fork, she picked the basil leaves on the fried foie gras slowly and uneasily. “Cousin, why are you suddenly here? Didn’t I tell you to wait for me to tell you when you called last time?”
“I heard someone bought a piece of top-grade raw jade here, so I came to take a look.” Qiao Xiyan lowered his head and ate the clams. The meat was finely minced and mixed with corn and cream.
“Really?”
“As well as to see how amazing the heater you mentioned is.”
Song Fengwan rubbed her nose.
“Wanting to marry a northerner for a heater, you’re pretty preposterous.”
“Cousin, I was just speaking casually.”
Qiao Xiyan put down his spoon and looked at her seriously. “Wanwan, you’re in your senior year of high school now, and you still have to prioritize your studies. If you want to have a relationship, wait until you graduate…”
“Cousin, I don’t!” Song Fengwan’s ears turned red as she kept poking at the foie gras with her fork.
“Don’t be shy. This is a process that people will go through when they grow up. At your age, it’s indeed easy to fall for someone. Our family isn’t so rigid and conservative. If you really have someone you like, tell me. I’ll help you to check him out first.”
Qiao Xiyan picked up the knife at the side. His expression was serious.
“What are you talking about? I’m really not in a relationship.” Song Fengwan felt inexplicably guilty under his gaze.
“Just now, that lady said something about puppy love…” Qiao Xiyan had only heard the gist of it and didn’t know the exact details.
“Actually, it’s her son pursuing me, and something happened in between. She probably thought that it was all my fault.” Song Fengwan avoided the more serious matter and directly skipped the part about Cheng Tianyi. If he knows what Cheng Tianyi did to me, with his temper, he will definitely skin him alive.
She still remembered when she lived in Suzhou for a period of time in the past. Usually, it was during her winter and summer breaks, and sometimes, she would stay there for a month or two. Qiao Aiyun was afraid that she would go crazy playing and signed her up for some enrichment classes.
At the time, she was about five or six years old, and there were always some especially naughty boys who liked to bully girls. They would tug at their hair or suddenly pull their stools away, and they loved to play pranks.
One time when she was walking, a boy deliberately tripped her. She hit the ground and injured her knees. Her palms also had abrasions. Because it was an enrichment class, the students were of different ages. The people bullying her were several years older than her, and she couldn’t fight against them, so she could only endure her aggrievement.
When they got home, Qiao Xiyan asked about the whole story and found that the boys lived in a certain neighborhood and even formed a small group.
The next day, he brought a few of his bros over…
…and ‘massacred’ the other party’s territory.
Song Fengwan didn’t know that Qiao Xiyan had beaten people up in private. She only knew that when someone else’s parents came to find him, he was scolded by her uncle.
In the end, he said directly in front of the parents, “On account of it being their first offense, I went easy on them. If there’s a next time, I’ll make them go out horizontally.”
Then her uncle grabbed a stick and chased after him around the entire courtyard.
Song Fengwan stood by the side back then and was so anxious that she cried.
Later on, Qiao Xiyan’s reputation for being brutal spread like wildfire.
Qiao Xiyan was born with a cold face, and he was unlike the other naughty and talkative boys. That incident made him completely famous, and other children were afraid of him yet also had an instinctive admiration and fear for him.
Song Fengwan pulled her thoughts back and looked at Qiao Xiyan. “Cousin, I’m really not in a relationship. I’ve been studying hard every day.”
“That’s good. I was thinking about bringing a few carving knives and going to have a heart-to-heart with that fellow. Now it seems like that’ll be unnecessary.” Qiao Xiyan smiled at her.
Song Fengwan lowered her head and ate. He actually tried to sound me out.
Fu Chen just arrived at the old residence and took off his jacket because it was warm enough, but he suddenly felt a chill spreading from his spine…
