Chapter 159 Provoking

Fu Zhiqing didn't know about Zeng Shuwan's guilt. She only focused on preventing Ruan Liuzheng from entering the Xie family.

She leaned obediently in Zeng Shuwan's arms, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly, looking vaguely malicious.

She concealed it very well, and when she looked up again, her face had returned to being well-behaved and sensible.

She pursed her lips, looking a little embarrassed, "Grandma, this Ruan Liuzheng is my brother's ex-wife, and the child in your arms is surnamed Fu, and he is my brother's biological son."

"You have no idea how scheming Ruan Liuzheng is. She doesn't deserve to enter the Xie family at all."

Fu Zhiqing pondered for a moment, her eyes filled with disgust, "Besides, Ruan Liuzheng has liked my brother since college. They have been divorced for less than a month. How could she fall in love with someone else so quickly! She must have deliberately approached my uncle."

Zeng Shuwan's eyes paused when she heard this.

She frowned. This was somewhat inconsistent with the investigation results she received. It seemed that the Fu family had deliberately concealed it.

She patted Fu Zhiqing's hand, briefly comforted the excited Fu Zhiqing, and then raised her eyes to look at Fu Yanci beside her.

Fu Yanci was Fu Zhiqing's brother. Not only was he many years older than Fu Zhiqing, he was also the current head of the Fu Group.

Compared with Fu Zhiqing who couldn't control her emotions, she would rather seek answers from this more stable grandson.

Zeng Shuwan glanced at the indifferent Xie Qingcen and Ruan Liuzheng with a faint look in her eyes. She said expressionlessly, "Yanci, what Zhiqing said just now, is it all true?"

Fu Yanci nodded, "Yes."

Since Ruan Liuzheng didn't intend to save his face, why should he cover up for Ruan Liuzheng.

Moreover, according to Ruan Liuzheng's current temper, if he really let her become the mistress of the Xie family, wouldn't his envisioned plan be even more difficult to implement?

By then, let alone profiting from the Fu family, even the Xie family might not be able to come.

Zeng Shuwan and Xie Zhenting, who was far away abroad, were already old. No matter how powerful and influential they were in their youth, how much could they leave for him and Zhiqing when they were reduced to dust?

Fu Yanci never sought a little charity born of apology; he wanted the Xie family's eternal protection.

He needed the Xie family's protection and help him realize his grand plans.

Fu Yanci's brows furrowed slightly, and a subtle ambition flickered in his dark eyes.

He remained silent, waiting for Zeng Shuwan's reaction, waiting for her to digest this shocking truth.

Some things don't require personal effort; others will accomplish them for them.

After a long silence, Zeng Shuwan looked at Xie Qingcen coldly, the satisfaction he had just felt for Ruan Liuzheng completely dissipating, leaving only a coldness.

She spoke with a little anger, "Xie Qingcen! Do you still remember your identity? Do you know about these things, or..."

"I know! My wife has never thought of hiding it, and in my eyes, no matter what Liu Zheng's identity is, it will not change my feelings for her."

Xie Qingcen did not even try to quibble. He nodded affirmatively, with a faint and elegant smile on the corner of his thin lips.

Taking advantage of the gaps in speaking, his dark phoenix eyes would occasionally glance at Ruan Liuzheng beside him, his eyes were indescribably doting and tender.

But when facing other people, his attitude suddenly changed.

He raised his chin slightly, and his eyes slowly fell on Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing, with a hint of disdain hidden in his delicate eyebrows.

He curled his lips and said, "But what I'm most concerned about right now is your attitude towards my wife!"

"No matter what happened in the past, Liu Zheng is now my wife. She represents me. I know you have some dissatisfaction with her, but sorry, you must suppress it."

Xie Qingcen's eyes flickered, the smile on his lips growing brighter. He should have been gentle, but inexplicably, it sent a chill down your spine.

He raised his eyebrows, "My status is clear. If you disrespect her, you disrespect me!"

"So... when you talk about her, shouldn't you consider your tone and the way you address her?"

He didn't say it, but the people present were all intelligent and had experienced many ups and downs. Even Fu Zhiqing was keenly aware of Xie Qingcen's intentions.

She subtly dodged behind Zeng Shuwan, biting her lip subconsciously.

Her fingers tightly grasped the hem of Zeng Shuwan's skirt.

Zeng Shuwan turned her head, her brows unconsciously furrowing slightly. She took a deep breath and looked at Xie Qingcen. "Qingcen, you're going a bit too far. Yanci and Zhiqing may be your nephews, but this is their first time at the Xie family. Is this how you, as an elder, treat them?" "

Have all the etiquette I taught you since childhood gone to waste?"

Xie Qingcen smiled faintly, his dark eyes filled with calmness, yet beneath that calmness hid a slight cold glint.

But before he could say anything, Ruan Liuzheng, standing beside him, could no longer contain herself and stood up.

She stepped forward slightly, her slender figure perfectly blocking Xie Qingcen's view. To the uninformed, one might think she was protecting someone.

She glanced at Zeng Shuwan, who looked displeased, and at Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing, who were hiding behind her like quails.

Her sharp gaze didn't miss the fleeting gloating on Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing's faces.

Her eyes turned cold, and her pale pink lips slowly curled up into a sarcastic arc.

I thought Xie Qingcen's mother was a bright and clear-minded person, but now it seems that she is just so-so.

Ruan Liuzheng frowned, concealing the coldness in her eyes without leaving a trace.

She stretched out her hand and took Fu Jingcheng from Zeng Shuwan's arms with a slightly forceful movement. Her son was born with great difficulty. According to the current trend, Zeng Shuwan has obviously begun to have opinions about her.

She absolutely cannot leave her son in Zeng Shuwan's hands. No one knows what will happen next.

It would be bad if her son was accidentally hurt.

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes dimmed slightly, she raised her eyes, her eyebrows were indifferent, and as cool as water.

The cold voice was like the first snow in winter, calm without a trace of warmth.

"There's nothing wrong with Xie Qingcen's attitude! Aunt Xie, I've never thought of hiding my past, and when you question Xie Qingcen, shouldn't you first get to know the two people behind you?"

Ruan Liuzheng changed the subject, her beautiful eyebrows tinged with a hint of teasing. She raised her hand and pointed at Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing, and a faint arc appeared at the corners of her light crimson lips.

She slowly opened her lips and said, "Find out... Are they worthy of respect? Aunt Xie, from the time I walked in to the first words you said to me, I always thought you were a sensible person."

"You, should be able to hear the provocation in Fu Zhiqing's words, right?"
