112 A hired man.

Now there was nothing that Song Yan could say at the moment, she simply stuffed a mouthful of crab meat in her mouth and started chewing with a vengeance. She didn't remember much of her life, but she did remember that throughout her marriage with Fu Yu Sheng, she has been full of gratitude towards him, she was an unwanted child in her family after her mother passed away and Chu Lian got full control of her father, she didn't know how that woman did it but she tamed her father until he only listened to her and her alone.

If not for the Old master Fu who sent the word out to the Song family that he wanted to marry his grandson to her, her father might have never looked in her direction. Of course, that doesn't mean that those two women didn't try to make things difficult for her they did, but they didn't succeed, all thanks to Master Gu who proclaimed that if Song Lan was to marry Fu Yu Sheng, it will be a calamity to the family.

To her, this marriage to Fu Yu Sheng was like a golden ticket that she has been waiting for all her life, but apart from feeling happy and gratified, she was also a bit insecure.

Unlike her Fu Yu Sheng was the second master of the Fu family, he was cool, confident and wanted by every girl in the city. She was nothing compared to him and that was why Song Yan could never bring herself to be confident enough to look Fu Yu Sheng in the eyes. She was afraid that he would dislike her or maybe she would see the contempt and disgust in his eyes when he looked at such an idiotic wife who was a good for nothing, so she never raised her head in front of him.

She was never going to tell him this, which was why she smoothly ignored what he said and took a sip of her wine before changing the topic. " So, why did you call me here?"

His eyes bore into hers as if he was trying to find the answers to his questions through them. " I did what you asked me to, though the current CEO of the Yang family is not capable enough. I reached out an olive branch to him by sending a small job to his company of course the basis was for Yang Junyi to be in charge of this job and I did, casually mentioned that I would be pulling my resources from the Song family business soon."

Her hand paused as she looked at him, she didn't think that he would remember it despite having such an immense workload. Clearing her throat, she nodded her head. " That's great, I can assure you that you won't make a loss listening to my advice."

" Have you thought about what are you going to do now?"

Her head jerked up and her brows scrunched. " What do you mean?"

Fu Yu Sheng leaned on his chair while twirling the wine in his glass. " I mean, you did say that Song Lan's intention for you is to die, she will be really upset that she didn't get what she wanted and from the last encounter that we had with her, she is bound to make trouble for you sooner or later. Now that she knows that her plans are failing one by one she won't be happy, I expect her to come at you and Chen Chen harder than before." Then taking a long swig of his wine, he held her gaze. " I am worried about you two, why don't you send Chen Chen to my place when he is alone, that way I will be able to protect him."

Song Yan's lips curled in a sardonic smile. " And how will you do that? I don't see you fighting a ghost with your fists and punches and though you do have a good number of bodyguards they can't do everything for you, now can they?"

" I can't fight a ghost, you are right about that but at least with me around no one will try to sneak into your house."

Her brows knitted as she placed her chopsticks down, she knew Fu Yu Sheng better than anyone else and knew that he wouldn't talk about what 'ifs' something must have happened. " Someone tried to sneak into my house and you didn't tell me?"

" Relax, my men caught him before he could do anything." He said it so simply as if he were discussing today's weather with her. She shot him a glare. " You should have told me, I would have——"

" You couldn't have done anything," said Fu Yu Sheng the nerve on his forehead twitching, a clear sign that he was angry. " The man was dangerous and seemed to be carrying what looked like poisonous darts. Three of my men were injured by him and even when he was caught, he didn't confess who sent him, instead he bit his tongue and died. Then he stood up from his seat and opened the gleaming oak cabinet before taking out a bunch of talismans from it. " My men found these hidden in his pockets, not an easy task, they had to strip him naked before they found it in a hidden pocket sewed in the inside of his pants."

Song Yan snatched the talismans from Fu Yu Sheng and her face turned livid. These talismans weren't a simple batch of talisman, instead, it was a collection of a broken array when stuck around in a particular formation, it will create an array so powerful that it will suck the air out of the place where it formed leaving the person inside the array both confined and suffocated. She clenched her fingers and crumpled the talisman in her hand, teeth grinding she gritted out, " SONG LAN!"

She thought that the woman has learned her lesson but she was wrong! That woman was still the same—— vile, cruel and ruthless to no bounds, to think she sent someone to suffocate her seven year old son to death! Unforgivable!
