Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy

Panda Novel

Nanjiang, Computer store…

Song Fengwan didn’t expect Xiao Jingan to kneel here. Everyone said that men had gold under their knees. Furthermore, he was still in public.

“Young Master Xiao, what exactly do you want?”

“Miss Song, please help me pass a message to President Yan.” During this period of time, Xiao Jingan had been begging for help everywhere, so he no longer cared about his face.

“I told you that there’s nothing I can do about this,” Song Fengwan refused firmly.

“Can’t you just say something for me? As long as you’re willing to say something, President Yan will definitely help.”

“That’s impossible.”

“Do you still care about what happened before? I’ve already been punished. If you don’t feel satisfied, I can kowtow and apologize to you.”

…

Nanjiang had been discussing the matter between the Yan and Xiao families for a long time. Seeing Xiao Jingan actually kneeling, everyone sighed and felt that Song Fengwan was too cold.

“It’s just a message. He’s already kneeling to her. What else does she want?”

“Even if there’s some friction, there’s no need to keep harping on it. A grown man has already put down his dignity to beg her. She really has a heart of stone.”

“I heard that her biological father was sent to jail by her mother. How ruthless must someone be to do such a thing? She’s cold and heartless, just like her mother.”

…

If Song Fengwan still didn’t know what Xiao Jingan was up to, she would really be stupid.

There were many people around now, so he was preparing to morally kidnap her and force her to submit by using the momentum of public opinion.

Some onlookers had already taken out their phones to record videos.

“Miss Song, as long as you’re willing to say something, I’ll do anything you want. President Yan is really our family’s only hope.”

He had once been proud and insufferably arrogant. At this moment, when he came to beg someone, he was still dressed neatly in a suit. He didn’t want to lose face, but he could only kneel down and beg for mercy. This contrast was far more eye-catching than him kneeling in disheveled clothes.

“Young Master Xiao was so impressive in the past. If he hadn’t been forced into a corner, who would put down their pride and dignity to kneel to others?”

“This girl is too heartless. She isn’t even batting an eyelid.”

“It’s just a message. Does she really want to see his family go bankrupt before she’s satisfied?”

“But she’s not obligated to help him. They’re not related in any way. He knelt as soon as he came and is making things difficult for her too.”

…

There were many discussions among the crowd. Some people were defending Song Fengwan, but the condemnation was even louder.

Qian Jiang was standing guard not far away. Seeing that something had happened, he wanted to go over and help. But he saw Qiao Xiyan already rushing over, so he retreated to the side. If he saw him, he would probably suspect Fu Chen and Song Fengwan’s relationship.

When Qiao Xiyan squeezed into the crowd, he saw Xiao Jingan kneeling in front of Song Fengwan. He didn’t know this person and frowned.

“What happened?”

Xiao Jingan looked up at the man.

He had been looking for an opportunity to get close to Song Fengwan recently, so he naturally knew this person—her cousin, Qiao Xiyan.

He had thin lips and phoenix eyes as deep as the sea.

His face was thin, and even though he went out in casual clothes, he looked well-built and had an excellent temperament. But there was always a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. When Xiao Jingan met his eyes, he took a deep breath. Why is he back so early?

Song Fengwan took a deep breath. “Young Master Xiao, are you sure you’re here to ask me for help?”

“As long as you’re willing to help, I’ll do anything.”

“Why don’t I feel your sincerity at all? If you really came to ask for my help sincerely, you wouldn’t make things difficult for me in public!” Song Fengwan wasn’t a fool. She knew exactly what he was scheming.

“I didn’t mean to make things difficult for you.” Xiao Jingan naturally wouldn’t admit that he really wanted to use public opinion to make Song Fengwan agree and even force Yan Wangchuan to compromise.

If the videos were uploaded online…

The two families had been friends for many years. But Yan Wangchuan’s stepdaughter was heartless, and he was also standing by idly. People would definitely say that he was cold and heartless.

“You don’t want to make things difficult for me? Aren’t you kneeling here to use the mouths of others to force me to give in?

“Everyone only sees how down and out you are, but they don’t know what happened between us at all. Just because you’re saying sorry to me, you want me to easily let go of everything that happened before?

“People who don’t know will only say that I’m cold, heartless, and have a heart of stone. Is this your so-called sincerity?

“You’re asking someone for help but still have crooked thoughts? You and Yan Zhihuan are really a match made in heaven.”

As soon as Xiao Jingan heard Yan Zhihuan’s name, he exploded. He jumped up from the floor and looked at Song Fengwan fiercely.

“With so many people here, do you want to make a move?” Qiao Xiyan took the laptop from Song Fengwan and placed it at the side along with the tablet while looking at him calmly.

Qiao Xiyan was very tall, and he had inherited Qiao Wangbei’s appearance, looking cold and stern. Even though he was smiling at him, his gaze was sharp, not to mention that he was really warning Xiao Jingan.

“Just because I didn’t mention some things, it doesn’t mean that I really don’t care. Since you’re forcing me to this point today, I’ll talk to you properly.” Song Fengwan had never been denounced like this before.

Moreover, if she didn’t stand up for herself today, she would only implicate Yan Wangchuan and Qiao Aiyun in the end.

The child was so heartless, so how could the parents not be responsible?

Xiao Jingan was really vicious.

“When we first met, I went to answer a call alone. You said it was a coincidence, but I actually noticed that you had been following me for a long time. There was no one around at the time. Why were you following me?

“Later on, you sent someone to follow me and even secretly took photos of me meeting my friends to threaten me.

“You wanted me to go out to see you in the middle of the night, and it was even in an empty coconut grove. What were your intentions?”

Qiao Xiyan had been completely unaware of this. When he heard what Song Fengwan said, his deep eyes became cloudy.

Feeling irritable, he grabbed a box of cigarettes from his pocket but then caught sight of the no-smoking sign on the side. He put away his lighter and rubbed the cigarette butt with his fingers.

It was a fact that he had ill intentions toward Song Fengwan.

Song Fengwan continued, “I don’t know what else you did behind my back. But just based on these few things, if you had succeeded, my life would have been ruined. Is this something that can be forgiven with merely a few words of apology?”

She looked up at the people around her in the computer store. Most of them were men. “Everyone says that I’m cold and heartless. Just think about it. Who could stand it if this happened to your sister or daughter?

“I’m not a saint, and I can’t be such a saint either!”

Everyone was whispering and discussing.

“There was such a thing? I didn’t even know.”

“Following her is already scary enough. He’s simply a pervert.”

“No wonder she doesn’t like him. He deserves it.”

…

Xiao Jingan didn’t expect Song Fengwan to expose all his secrets in public.

“…” He was so angry that he took two steps forward. From his posture, he clearly wanted to hit her.

Qiao Xiyan moved half an inch closer to him, threw away the cigarette, and reached out to press his shoulder. His grip was so strong that it felt as though it could pierce through his skin and pinch his shoulder blade.

“You said that you wanted me to plead for you and save your family’s company, but you forced me in public like this. If I didn’t agree today, not only would I be denounced, but I would also bring criticism to the Yan family.

“You’ve already reached this point, yet you’re still scheming step by step. If we don’t help you, do you want to ruin all of our reputations?”

Song Fengwan clarified the matter with a few words. Initially, everyone felt some pity for the Xiao family being reduced to such a state. But now, it seemed like they had reaped what they sowed.

“If you don’t believe me, you can go to the police station to find out if he followed me and coerced me. The police station has a criminal record.

“On account of the friendship between the two families, Uncle Yan is already being very tolerant. He isn’t cooperating with you, but he isn’t suppressing you.

“He’s so tolerant and is already being extremely benevolent to your family. Uncle Yan is such a good person, yet you still want to ruin his reputation. Are you still human?”

Xiao Jingan had long known that she was formidable. She had been prepared for all those things before, but today, it was all sudden.

She could actually still be so calm and refute each and everything he said clearly, completely castigating him and even establishing a magnanimous image for Yan Wangchuan.

Truly impressive.

Qiao Xiyan sneered. Uncle-Master is benevolent?

When did this girl learn how to lie through her teeth?

He’s entirely focused on Aunt and can’t be bothered with the Xiao family. But when it comes out of her mouth, why does Uncle-Master sound like the embodiment of justice?

Xiao Jingan was dumbfounded by the scolding.

“Let’s go.” Qiao Xiyan released his grip on Xiao Jingan, grabbed the laptop and other items, and pulled Song Fengwan’s arm to walk out.

“… How shameless. President Yan didn’t pursue the matter and let them off. But he came here and did all of this. No wonder they’re not helping him.”

“Bitches do more mischief.”

…

When Xiao Jingan came back to his senses, Qiao Xiyan and Song Fengwan had already disappeared from the store. Faced with the criticism and abuse of the people around him, he pushed through the crowd and ran to the parking lot.

***

At this moment, Song Fengwan and Qiao Xiyan were looking for their car.

“You just said that he followed you? When did this happen?”

“A few months ago, when I first came to Nanjiang. I didn’t want to talk about this.” Song Fengwan shrugged.

“I bought you a tablet. You can use it for computer drawing.”

“Thank you, Cousin.” Song Fengwan had planned to buy one herself. Nowadays, many drawings had to be done on computers. Just relying on a cursor wasn’t enough. Tablets were more professional and convenient. When she went to art school, she would be able to use it in the future.

“When you arrive in the capital, be careful when you live alone,” Qiao Xiyan reminded.

“I know.”

When they were about to reach the car, Qiao Xiyan took out his car key from his pocket and unlocked the car. Then he opened the door of the front passenger seat for Song Fengwan. “Get in.”

“Okay.” Qiao Xiyan drove a Jaguar, and the car was rather tall. Song Fengwan held the car door and got in. Through the rearview mirror, Qiao Xiyan saw Xiao Jingan rushing toward them with something like a club in his hand.

Qiao Xiyan quickly pushed Song Fengwan into the car and stuffed the laptop into her arms. Bang! He closed the car door.

“Cousin?” Song Fengwan was almost pushed down by him. She held the laptop tightly and looked out of the window. Only then did she see that Xiao Jingan was actually rushing toward Qiao Xiyan with a club in his hand.

As she watched Xiao Jingan getting closer and closer, her breathing became rapid. She tried to push open the door to get out of the car. But just as the door opened…

Qiao Xiyan suddenly looked up and slammed the door shut.

At this moment, Xiao Jingan had already charged over.

Just as the club was about to hit him, Qiao Xiyan kicked him away. The club didn’t even touch the corner of his shirt.

“Mmph—” Xiao Jingan was kicked to the ground and only stopped after rolling half a meter away. His clothes were torn.

On the scorching hot day, the temperature on the ground was through the roof, and the heat was enough to burn people’s skin.

At this moment, Xiao Jingan was desperate. He couldn’t take it lying down after being pointed at and scolded by Song Fengwan in public. He was so hot-headed that he wanted her to make her pay the price.

Little did he know that he had angered Qiao Xiyan.

He didn’t know Qiao Xiyan, so he naturally didn’t know what kind of person he was at all.

When he was young, he was famous for being fierce and ruthless in Suzhou, and he was considered a tyrant.

When Song Fengwan got out of the car, Qiao Xiyan had already beaten him to the ground and was kicking him hard. When he heard about the dirty things he had done, Qiao Xiyan was already angry, yet he still dared to use a weapon to attack them?

“Cousin, stop fighting.” Song Fengwan hurriedly pulled him back. If he continued hitting him like this, he would definitely kill him.

“Next time you see Wanwan, you better take a detour. Otherwise, I’ll definitely have a way to deal with you.” Qiao Xiyan pulled Song Fengwan into the car and left.

When the security guards saw the surveillance footage and rushed to the parking lot, Xiao Jingan had already fainted from the pain.

The Xiao family rushed to the hospital. Before they could see Xiao Jingan, they met the police. They said that someone had called the police, claimed that Xiao Jingan was suspected of deliberately hurting people, and wanted to take measures against him according to the law.

The Xiao family was already in chaos, so naturally, no one got involved in this.

Because all of Nanjiang was discussing Song Fengwan, saying that Yan Wangchuan had a very formidable daughter.

***

At this moment, in the capital, Yunjin Prime Manor…

Song Fengwan’s luggage had just arrived, and Uncle Nian was helping her dry the blankets. Fu Chen was walking the dog in the yard and looking at the colorful blankets. He heard that it was Old Madam Yan who sewed them. These large peony flowers are really gorgeous.

The elderly really have unique tastes.

His phone in his pocket vibrated. It was a message from Qian Jiang.

[Xiao Jingan made things difficult for Miss Song in public and was beaten back.]

[He tried to attack Miss Song with a club.]

Fu Chen frowned. But the following words made his scalp tingle.

[Young Master Qiao almost broke his lifeblood1.]
