Chapter 35: Women Are Just Trouble

Inside the bungalow, Ma Menghan helped Fu Lang tidy up the overturned table and chairs.

Fu Yanyan had already stopped crying; she looked at Chen Che with teary eyes and asked, "Brother Chen Che, where have you been all these years?"

Chen Che gently wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes with his thumb and smiled tenderly: "Cultivating on the mountain!"

Fu Yanyan broke into a smile through her tears: "So you went to become a monk; why have you returned to secular life now?"

"It's just that I missed you all, so I came back to see you," Chen Che said with a bright smile.

"Little Che, the way I saw you strike people just now... are you a Martial Artist now?"

Fu Lang recalled the scene of Chen Che slapping a burly man away and asked, feeling shocked in his heart.

Chen Che nodded: "Yes, Uncle Fu Lang, I am a Martial Artist now. With me here, no one can bully you again."

"Wow, that's so amazing!"

Fu Yanyan's eyes sparkled, and she said in surprise: "So you really went to the mountain to cultivate!"

Chen Che rubbed Fu Yanyan's head and smiled: "From childhood until now, when have I ever lied to you?"

"That is truly wonderful," Fu Lang said with relief. "A few days ago, I heard that Yang Wanqing died, and I even cried with joy. I thought the villain had finally met her retribution! If you and your parents knew about this in the afterlife, you would be happy too!"

"I didn't expect that you were actually still alive, not dead! This is truly a great thing!"

As Fu Lang spoke, his eyes grew moist again. "Old Chen, Little Che is still alive, and that vicious woman Yang Wanqing is dead too; you and your wife can finally rest in peace!"

"Exactly, exactly. I heard that Yang Wanqing was killed by someone; it really is fitting retribution!"

Fu Yanyan also said.

Chen Che smiled slightly and said something shocking: "Uncle Fu, Yanyan, I was the one who killed Yang Wanqing."

"What?!"

Fu Yanyan widened her eyes and stared fixedly at Chen Che.

Fu Lang also looked at Chen Che in disbelief, but asked with worry: "Then... are you alright?"

Chen Che naturally knew what Fu Lang meant and shook his head: "I'm fine, I have friends in the Justice Inspection Department."

"That's good, that's good."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lang felt relieved.

Chen Che's past experiences were too tragic; Fu Lang felt deeply pained by what Chen Che had suffered as a child, and he did not want anything else to happen to him.

"Little Che, you should still go out and hide for a few days."

Fu Lang suddenly said, "After all, you killed someone. Even if your friends can protect you, just to be safe, you should still go out and hide for a few days."

"That's right, that's right!" Fu Yanyan also looked worried. "Brother Chen Che, I support you in taking revenge, but I don't want you to get into trouble even more!"

Chen Che felt a warmth in his heart and smiled to comfort them: "Uncle Fu, Yanyan, I am really fine, you can rest assured."

Ma Menghan, who was on the side, really couldn't watch anymore and spoke up: "Can the three of you hold off on reminiscing for a moment? I'm thirsty; can you give me a glass of water first?"

Fu Lang smiled apologetically: "Sorry, sorry, it was our rudeness. Yanyan, go pour some water quickly."

Fu Yanyan looked at Ma Menghan with a scrutinizing gaze and asked: "Brother Chen Che, who is she?"

"She is..."

"I am his girlfriend!"

Before Chen Che could finish his sentence, Ma Menghan blurted out the answer.

After she finished speaking, she even gave Fu Yanyan a look that was somewhat like a show of force.

Fu Lang said happily: "So it's Little Che's girlfriend, that's truly wonderful, welcome, welcome!"

Fu Lang urged: "Yanyan, go pour the water quickly!"

Compared to her father's joy, Fu Yanyan's face was full of disappointment, and she gave Chen Che a resentful look.

Just as Chen Che was about to explain, Fu Yanyan had already gone to the kitchen to pour water.

Chen Che shook his head helplessly, and under Fu Lang's invitation, the three of them sat down.

"By the way, Uncle Fu. How did you know that Yang Wanqing died?"

On the night he went to take revenge on Yang Wanqing and her daughter, Chen Che had asked Cheng Kexin to help cover it up.

Yang Wanqing was the chairwoman of Jinhai Group; the news of her murder could not be hidden, but it was impossible for it to reach the ears of Fu Lang, who currently held no position at Jinhai Group, so quickly.

Fu Lang did not answer first, but instead asked: "Do you remember Xu Baifeng?"

"I remember, Uncle Xu's son. He, Yanyan, and I were childhood friends."

Chen Che suddenly snorted coldly: "Speaking of that good uncle of mine, he used to be so good to me and was loyal to my father. I never expected that as soon as something happened to my father, he would stand on Yang Wanqing's side!"

Fu Lang sighed: "He has always valued his own interests above all else; that is also the reason why I didn't get along with him in the past."

Chen Che nodded and asked: "But what does that have to do with Yang Wanqing's death?"

"The reason I know Yang Wanqing is dead is because Xu Baifeng told me."

Fu Lang said slowly: "This child is different from his father, and he has corrected the waywardness he had as a child. I heard him say that after Yang Wanqing died, her daughter Yang Simin went missing, and Xu Songbai took the opportunity to take over the position of chairman..."

Chen Che's expression froze. Yang Simin went missing?!

He hadn't killed Yang Simin that night; he had assumed she would find helpers to kill him in revenge, but he hadn't expected her to go missing!

"Although I was reduced to this state by his father Xu Songbai, Xu Baifeng has secretly helped us quite a bit."

Fu Lang continued: "When your aunt had an accident last month, he was the one who helped find people and pay for medical treatment, and he even specifically hired a doctor to come to the house for your aunt's regular check-ups and treatment."

"To be honest, this child is really quite good now, and he is good to us too. I really regret that I misjudged him in the past."

Chen Che nodded, thinking that if what Fu Lang said was true, then based solely on what Xu Baifeng had done for Fu Lang's family, he could choose not to pursue Xu Songbai for betraying his father Chen Xin and plotting against Fu Lang.

"That's right, Brother Baifeng is exceptionally outstanding now! At such a young age, he is already serving as the president at Jinhai Group, and he has also gained the favor of many business elites and seniors!"

At this moment, Fu Yanyan brought out three glasses of water and placed them on the coffee table.

"And Brother Baifeng is very handsome now, even several times more handsome than Brother Chen Che!"

Fu Yanyan had a petulant look on her face, saying it intentionally for Chen Che to hear.

Huh?

Chen Che's expression was puzzled; what was wrong with this girl?

Women are sensitive when it comes to feelings.

Ma Menghan curled her lips into a smile: "It seems little sister likes that Brother Baifeng even more than Brother Chen Che, but it doesn't matter; in my eyes, your Brother Chen Che is the most handsome."

"Hmph!"

Fu Yanyan was overcome with jealousy, glared at Chen Che coquettishly, cast an unfriendly look at Ma Menghan, and then sat beside her father, Fu Lang, sulking.

Chen Che could not understand how these two girls of similar age had started clashing, so he changed the subject: "Is Yanyan still in school?"

Fu Yanyan was still angry and said with a straight face: "None of your business!"

Chen Che was choked for words.

Fu Lang pushed her reprovingly; he naturally understood his own daughter's thoughts, but he did not want to interfere too much in the affairs of young people.

"After your aunt had her accident, she dropped out of school and is now working at a supermarket."

Remembering something, Fu Lang said: "Speaking of which, Yanyan's job was also helped along by Baifeng."

"That's right, Brother Baifeng is so good to me! Not only did he find me a job, but he also backed me up when I was bullied by colleagues, and he even buys me very, very expensive gifts!"

Fu Yanyan stared at Chen Che: "Brother Baifeng is much better to me than Brother Chen Che; he likes me and even confessed his feelings to me!"

"When did he confess to you?" Fu Lang asked, frowning.

Although Fu Lang had changed his opinion of Xu Baifeng quite a bit, due to his relationship with Xu Songbai, he still worried that his daughter would be bullied if she were with Xu Baifeng.

Fu Yanyan looked at Chen Che provocatively and replied: "Just yesterday!"

"Uh..."

Fu Lang's hanging heart was set at ease; yesterday, Fu Yanyan had been at home the whole time, and Xu Baifeng had not visited.

He understood; this was his daughter eating her heart out because she heard Chen Che had a girlfriend.

Fu Lang shook his head helplessly; Fu Yanyan had liked Chen Che since she was little, and all of them, the elders, had seen it.

It was just that too many things had happened later on, and the matter between the two had been delayed.

Ma Menghan found Fu Yanyan's jealous appearance cute, which made her want to tease her even more.

"Is that so? That's really great! Little sister, when will you call your boyfriend over? Your Brother Chen Che and I will help you vet him."

Ma Menghan said with a sly smile.

Although the two were of similar age, their combat power was on completely different levels.

Fu Yanyan raised her eyebrows, her pretty face flushed red; she was no match at all.

Seeing Fu Yanyan get frustrated, Chen Che glanced at Ma Menghan reprovingly, and the latter pursed her lips in a playful "what are you going to do about it" pose.

Women really are troublesome.

Chen Che glanced at the room of Fu Yanyan's mother, Gao Huiwen, and asked: "Uncle Fu, what happened to Auntie?"

Bang!

At this moment, Xu Baifeng pushed the door open and barged in.
