" What is that tone? Is that the tone a junior like you should use with an elder?" Lu Jiao looked at Fu Yu Sheng with an incredulous gaze but after making contact with his sharp and cold gaze, she choked before turning her head away and muttering, " We did not do anything, my husband is busy and so is my son…you cannot possibly doubt my daughter and I now can you?" 

She laughed as she added, " We are just women what can we even do?" 

" You would be surprised what women can do when their benefits are concerned," said Song Yan as she crossed her hands behind her back and then walked towards Fu Qingyuan. With black heels clicking on the marble floor, Song Yan came to a stop in front of Fu Qingyuan as she curled the side of her lips in a small smirk and asked, "Did you go outside?" 

" Yes," Fu Qingyuan did not know why Song Yan was asking such a question but she still answered as she was still wearing delicate make-up and outdoor heels. She swallowed hard and added, " On a light walk, is there something wrong with it?"

" Hmm," Song Yan heard her response and nodded before looking down at the hem of her dress which was covered in a greenish tint with dew and muttered, "Possibly a park or something? Because I don't see how the hem of your dress got this wet when you were outside since the morning." 

Her words caused Fu Qingyuan's eyes to snap up and look at Song Yan with a flickering gaze, it only made Song Yan's smile widen as the latter reached forward and then caught hold of Fu Qingyuan 's neck. 

" What are you doing?!" Lu Jiao screamed when she saw Song Yan curl her fingers around Fu Qingyuan's neck. She wanted to make Song Yan stop but Lu Jiao was intercepted by the bodyguards who were following Fu Yu Sheng. Seeing him act like this, Lu Jiao turned to look at her nephew and said angrily, " What are you trying to do Yu Sheng? I admit that you are the patriarch of the family but we are your elders, you cannot treat us like this!" 

" I am not manhandling you, am I?" Fu Yu Sheng turned to look at Lu Jiao who was hysterically screaming at him and then said calmly, " The one who is being held is your daughter and as far as I know she is my junior." 

" You…" Lu Jiao was so angry that she wanted to pounce on the man wanting to hit him but she was stopped by the two bodyguards. 

On the other hand, Fu Qingyuan was having a hard time breathing as she looked at the long nail which was digging into her neck and looked at Song Yan with terror in her eyes. 

" What are you trying to do? Just what are you trying to do?" She asked, she never expected that Song Yan would dare to attack her openly like this. 

" You know, Qingyuan…there are some things that you shouldn't meddle with," Song Yan whispered softly as she dug her nail into Fu Qingyuan's neck. " The consequences can be really dire." 

" You…" Fu Qingyuan wanted to say something but she was stopped by Song Yan who dropped her hand and then smiled at her softly before adding, " You will suffer too." 

She then turned to look at Fu Yu Sheng and the screeching Lu Jiao before saying, "Let's go." The smile on her face dropped as soon as she turned around and headed out of the house which belonged to Fu Yi Shen and his family. 

Behind her, Fu Qingyuan slumped on the floor clutching her throat which was bleeding slightly. 

" Qingyuan," once the bodyguards allowed Lu Jiao to move, she immediately rushed towards her daughter and held her tight. " Don't worry, I will definitely make them pay for this humiliation. Don't you dare to think that, she will be fine after treating you like this, all right?" 

Fu Qingyuan on the other hand did not listen to her mother, she was looking at Song Yan who was heading out of the house. 

Did she find out? But…how? 

On the other side, Song Yan who slid inside the car crossed her arms and announced, "There is no need for you to look anymore, it's Fu Qingyuan." 

" How do you know?" Fu Yu Sheng asked as he turned the ignition of the car on and then drove it out of the parking lot.

Song Yan patted the corners of her eyes and then explained, " I noticed wrinkles on the side of Fu Qingyuan's eyes and I also noticed a few grey locks among her black locks. I guess she hasn't paid attention to the changes yet or else she would have caught hold of what the price of using Fang Mian's mirror was." 

Hearing his response, Fu Yu Sheng pursed his lips and asked, " Now what? Should we make her force it out?"

" I don't think that she is going to give up that easily," Song Yan sighed and then leaned back on her seat and muttered, " Since she dared to do it, she must have made sure that we don't trace her back." She opened her eyes and then added, " Call her brother, I will talk with him. Since she is your family, I will give her a chance to get back on the right track." 

" Honestly, I cannot care less about her but given that you want to call Xin Chen, I guess you have a plan?" He offered her an amused smile which only made Song Yan smile as she did a small shrug and then added, "It's a good opportunity to make your third uncle's family completely restrained. I don't know whether or not to thank the one who handed the Fang Mian's mirror to your cousin."
