Chapter 195: The Cheng Family's Lucky Star

~7 min read 1,396 words

Chu Fangfei asked in a low voice, "When are you going to come pick up Qin Ping'an?"

Cheng Wan frowned; were Chu Fangfei and Wen Lvzhong only dating, yet they already couldn't tolerate Qin Ping'an?

"Chu Fangfei, Ping'an is Wen Lvzhong's biological son. If you can't accept that, I think you can break up with Wen Lvzhong right now."

Chu Fangfei pursed her lips; it wasn't that she couldn't accept that Wen Lvzhong had a child, but rather that the child clearly rejected her.

And Wen Lvzhong doted on him.

Chu Fangfei felt unsettled, which was why she asked Cheng Wan.

"Cheng Wan, it's not that I can't accept it, but I'm about to get engaged to Wen Lvzhong, and the child, Qin Ping'an, is throwing a tantrum and refuses to accept it, making both of us quite haggard."

There are even occasional conflicts.

She could feel that Wen Lvzhong was more partial to Qin Ping'an.

Cheng Wan was surprised; engaged?

They were moving really fast.

"I'll call Wen Lvzhong in a moment and have him send the child over."

Chu Fangfei bit her lip, "Thank you."

Cheng Wan raised an eyebrow and subconsciously spoke her mind.

"You're actually capable of saying thank you?"

Chu Fangfei was a little annoyed, "In your heart, is my image really that bad?"

As Chu Fangfei said this, she felt a bit embarrassed herself; asking Cheng Wan to take Qin Ping'an away really did make her seem like a wicked stepmother.

However, she truly wasn't unable to accept the child, but rather hoped to get engaged and married smoothly.

"I'm getting engaged next Saturday, and I hope you can come to attend." Once the little knot in Chu Fangfei's heart was spoken aloud, she felt better.

She invited Cheng Wan generously.

Cheng Wan neither agreed nor refused, "We'll see when the time comes."

Chu Yue glanced at them and said with a smile, "The two children have such a good relationship."

Cheng Wan had no expression; having a conversation meant they had a good relationship? Then she had a good relationship with a lot of people.

"Next Saturday, our Fangfei is getting engaged, Auntie, why don't you bring Wanwan along to attend," Chu Yue invited.

Old Madam Cheng agreed and asked about Chu Fangfei's fiancé; upon learning it was Wen Lvzhong, she was slightly surprised, but quickly returned to normal.

Chu Yue sighed, "Come to think of it, it was our family that caused Wanwan to suffer grievances. As her aunt, I truly feel ashamed toward Wanwan."

She took everything upon herself, as if she were the one in charge of the Chu Family now.

"Our Old Master knows about the unpleasantness between Chu Li and Wanwan, and he gave Chu Li a sound beating. Wanwan, look, can you forgive him?"

The last sentence was directed at Cheng Wan.

"A Li, he really knows he was wrong."

"Auntie was wrong too; I shouldn't have known you minded Yun Shu and still talked about bringing her back. Wanwan, Auntie apologizes to you."

There were tears in her eyes, and she looked sincere.

Old Madam Cheng had a very bad feeling about Qin Yunshu right now, and upon hearing that Chu Yue actually wanted to bring Qin Yunshu back and let her own granddaughter suffer grievances, her expression immediately soured.

"Grandma, I want to rest. Can you ask them to leave?" Cheng Wan really didn't want to talk to Chu Yue.

Old Madam Cheng nodded, "You do need to rest well."

Chu Yue and Chu Fangfei had no choice but to leave.

Outside, Chu Yue's expression sank.

"Cheng Wan really has good fortune; after leaving Chu Li, she became the granddaughter Old Madam Cheng lost for many years. Looking at the Old Madam's attitude, she dotes on her immensely."

If she had known this, she would have just given up on Qin Yunshu directly.

And she would have persuaded Chu Li to get along well with Cheng Wan.

"Man proposes, God disposes." Chu Yue was in a bad mood.

She glanced at her daughter beside her and instructed, "I see you and Cheng Wan chatted very well; keep it up, try your best to cooperate with her studio and get that Perfume Handbook."

She was obsessed with those Perfume Notes.

She had even thought about using underhanded methods, but Cheng Wan had suddenly become linked to the Cheng Family.

Chu Fangfei said in a low voice, "She won't be willing to cooperate with me."

Just from their conversation, Chu Fangfei knew how much she loathed the Chu Family.

"Find a way," Chu Yue said with dissatisfaction, "You are in charge of the Perfume Division now; you must achieve results."

Her tone was almost commanding.

Chu Fangfei felt agitated, "I am trying."

"It's not about trying, it's about getting it done." Chu Yue's expression was particularly serious.

In her view, the word 'trying' was just perfunctory.

Chu Fangfei took a deep breath, "Mom, everything has a process, I really..."

"Don't make excuses," Chu Yue interrupted her daughter's words rudely.

Chu Fangfei felt exceptionally miserable inside.

Cheng Wan was discharged from the hospital and, after coordinating with Wen Lvzhong, picked up Qin Ping'an.

Qin Ping'an hugged her affectionately, his eyes red.

"Mom, is Dad going to abandon us?"

Cheng Wan stroked his cheek and gently explained the matter of Wen Lvzhong and Chu Fangfei's engagement.

"Even though Mom and Dad aren't together, we love you the most."

When Qin Ping'an lived with Chu Li, he did not feel like his mother was going to be taken away.

After all, Cheng Wan and Chu Li had never spoken of marriage in front of the child, and Cheng Wan had never said that he would have a new father.

But at Wen Lvzhong's place, Wen Lvzhong had said everything that should and should not have been said.

Qin Ping'an was still young and did not understand many things; he only felt that it was Wen Lvzhong who did not want him and his mother anymore.

He was very sad.

"I want Mommy and Daddy."

Cheng Wan held him, her eyes slightly stinging.

The car arrived at the Cheng Family.

Old Madam Cheng was waiting at the door in person, "Wanwan, welcome home."

She had even prepared a gift for Qin Ping'an: a puppy.

Qin Ping'an was usually exceptionally guarded against strangers, but upon seeing the puppy, he became a little shy.

With Third Madam Cheng coaxing him with special gentleness and patience, he soon became happy and ran off to play with the puppy.

"Thank you, Grandma." Cheng Wan whispered her thanks to Old Madam Cheng.

To be able to think of giving a puppy to the child showed that she had truly put her heart into it.

"It was prepared by Huayu and her husband." Old Madam Cheng chuckled, pointing to Third Madam Cheng, who was patiently accompanying Qin Ping'an not far away.

"Third Aunt is truly patient." Cheng Wan saw it and felt grateful.

"My third daughter-in-law had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy and will never be able to have children of her own in this life, so she is especially fond of children." Old Madam Cheng sighed, "They are the ones most looking forward to a new addition to the family."

Cheng Wan could understand that feeling; her first child had not been saved, and Tang Yisheng had said she might never have the chance to be a mother again in this life.

At that time, she had been truly devastated.

But in the end, she still had a chance.

Yet Third Aunt had not even the slightest chance left.

Comparing the two, Cheng Wan felt that she was lucky.

She stroked her lower abdomen; at the very least, she was still carrying one in her belly now.

"They are a couple with good tempers and good characters; you can rest assured leaving Ping'an at home." Old Madam Cheng listened to the laughter over there, and her heart felt much lighter.

It had truly been a long time since she had experienced such liveliness.

The gloom brought to the family by the two incidents of Cheng Huade going missing and Cheng Han being injured had dissipated quite a bit all at once.

"Wanwan, you are the lucky star of the Cheng Family." Old Madam Cheng held Cheng Wan's hand, feeling exceptionally warm inside.
