Chapter 299: These Are the Words That Were Inconvenient to Say Over the Phone

Fu Yan Cheng saw the old man's posture and knew he had been waiting for him all along.

He sat opposite the table, looking at the chessboard set up before them.

The old man raised his hand and placed a black stone: "Speak. What is it that brought you back specially?"

Fu Yan Cheng also picked up a white stone from his side: "You must have heard about my relationship, right?"

The old man nodded slightly: "Your father mentioned it. How is it? Are you going to make it official?"

Fu Yan Cheng shook his head lightly: "I would like to, but she is not yet eighteen years old. We still have to wait a few more months before she reaches the age for marriage registration."

"So you, young man, are an old ox eating tender grass?"

"That is not how a grandfather should speak."

But thinking of Chuxue, his face was full of smiles: "Although she is a country Miss, she is more beautiful than city girls. She has just graduated from high school, and her character, ability, and courage are beyond reproach. I will bring her over later."

"After all that, what exactly do you want to say?"

"I did not tell my family about my relationship before, but I did not expect someone to spread the news that I had a country girlfriend in the family compound before I could. At first, my mother thought someone had simply seen us and the rumor spread, but then more information came out, and my mother realized something was wrong and notified me in time.

After that, I entrusted someone to investigate secretly to see who was behind this."

As he spoke, he took out the investigation report: "Take a look at this."

Xiao Laoyezi Fu took it, and just like Fu Yan Cheng, he frowned after a moment: "I know Wang Shanyuan. He is somewhat related to Xiao Yude by marriage, but the connection is very distant. He was transferred to support the border later and only returned to the capital city in recent years. How did he get involved with the Wang family?"

"Look further back."

Xiao Laoyezi Fu continued looking: "His wife's character is not great, but I heard she has been relatively quiet since the marriage."

Hearing this, Fu Yan Cheng caught the implication: "From your words, is this Jiang Huiwen not a good person?"

Xiao Laoyezi Fu finished reading the report before speaking: "Wang Shanyuan had a fiancée before, and they were already discussing marriage. But the appearance of this Jiang Huiwen made Wang Shanyuan bear the reputation of being untrustworthy. It was because he broke the engagement and married someone else that he was directly retaliated against and transferred to support the border."

"So, did Wang Shanyuan fall for Jiang Huiwen, or was he forced?"

"I really do not know that. I only know that Wang Shanyuan went to their door to apologize for his wrongs. When asked why, he refused to say anything."

A few days after the engagement was broken, he married Jiang Huiwen, and his reputation for being untrustworthy spread."

"It seems the person behind spreading rumors in the family compound must be Jiang Huiwen. But she has no grudge against us, and even less against the Liu family. Why would she do this?"

"Having someone do this is simply to prevent this marriage from happening. According to normal logic, there must be no entanglement with our family, so it can only be an old score with your girlfriend's family."

"It seems we need to have someone continue investigating."

"Find someone to keep an eye on Jiang Huiwen and see who she contacts."

"I understand."

The reason he came back specially was that these words were inconvenient to say over the phone.

Since Grandpa said there is no entanglement with our Fu family, then it must be with the Liu family, no, to be precise, it must be an old score with Chuxue's branch. It seems this matter is not simple.
