98 Wang Yufan called.

Song Yan thought that she was pretty smart and escaped past her brother's sharp eyes but as soon as she picked up the dishes from the table and brought them to the kitchen, she was held back by Wen Mingzhi who smiled at her slyly. " Brother in law came to look for you didn't he?"

Naturally, the bowl that Song Yan was holding almost slipped out of her hands. Fortunately, she was doing the dishes and the bowl fell inside the sink on the pile of dishes instead of the floor. " W..Wha...What? No!" She instinctively denied but she forgot that Wen Mingzhi studied psychology in college and even did a major in it. With her experience and the high-class training that she received in her college, Wen Mingzhi was able to read a person's expressions flawlessly.

She smiled as she wiped the kitchen counter. " I am not a knucklehead like your brother, he has always been slow when it comes to things like this but you know what Yan Yan, I am not that easily fooled. And what's more, I have my fair share of experience to know whether your lips are swollen like this because of a DIY beauty hack or because of a certain someone." Then she paused for a moment and sneakily added, " I saw brother in law walking out of the apartment next to ours when I was taking out the trash, sooooo"

" Yeah, he came to look for me." What choice does she have now? Was she going to still deny it when Wen Mingzhi has seen Fu Yu Sheng and seriously what was this guy doing? Shouldn't he be sneaking around and keeping a low profile so as to not be caught by her brother? What was with him? Walking around the corridor bold as brass? Does he want to get caught by her brother or what?

Knowing Fu Yu Sheng he most probably did want to get caught. That way he didn't have to hide in that cramped apartment for long and would be able to take her and Chen Chen back to the Fu mansion with him. Of course, there was a chance that her brother wouldn't approve but given how sly Fu Yu Sheng was Song Yan was a bit worried about her brother who could never deal with her husband.

" So, what are you planning?" asked Wen Mingzhi as she finished wiping the counter and wiped her hand on the apron. " Are you going back to the Fu mansion?"

Song Yan pursed her lips, this was a question that she refused to think about. Though Fu Yu Sheng was adamant to take her away from here, she didn't want to leave…after living with her brother she was getting used to the freedom she hardly had as the second madam Fu, every time she wanted to do something, she was often reminded that she was no longer the young miss of the Song family but Fu family's second madam, as a ghost exorciser and spirit master… these limitations were something that she couldn't make do with.

" I don't know, he says that a divorce is impossible," answered Song Yan truthfully as she finished washing the last of the plate in the sink, though they had a dishwasher, they hardly ever used it after all the dishwasher liquid wasn't cheap and they needed to save and scrimp at the end of the month as much as they could.

Wen Mingzhi nodded. " Well, that's true. The Fu family never allows their heirs to get a divorce once they are married. It has been an old tradition and I hardly think that it's going to change."

Song Yan gave her sister in law a stunned look and couldn't help but ask, " you know about it too sister?"

" Of course I do," said Wen Mingzhi who gave her a wee smile. " Don't forget that your elder sister in law is my friend and I have heard her complain, a lot of times, after all who doesn't know that your elder brother has a white moonlight in his heart and refuses to even consummate his marriage with Wenyi.  She often says that it would have been great if she could divorce that man and start afresh but the old master refused her suggestion. In fact, he seems quite adamant not to let that white moonlight of your brother in law to enter the Fu family, it has been eleven years and yet the situation is still in a stalemate."

Though Song Yan didn't have much recollection of her brother in law since he hardly ever returned to the Fu mansion, her impression of him, plummeted instantly. She didn't think that he was such a jerk! She hardly ever met Li Wenyi more than a couple of times in her past life, she knew that her sister in law was a great woman. " I don't think that this is a good thing, if they are not happy what is the point of staying together."

" True," Wen Mingzhi nodded her head as she cupped her cheek. " Though I can't say the same for you and brother in law, you seem quite happy to me."

" He is just full of heat," snapped Song Yan with a harumph. " Returning after so many years, he is lucky that I am a woman of virtue and didn't chase him with a chopping knife yet he dares to take liberties with me."

Wen Mingzhi's eyes flickered, full of smiles as she took out an antiseptic from the kitchen cabinet and handed it to Song Yan. "You can always make him suffer now that he is here. Make sure to drag him around with every chance that you get."

Surprised, Song Yan took the antiseptic and frowned. " I thought you wanted me to make up with Yu Sheng?"

" Oh I do want you to make up with brother in law," she smilingly said with a sharp glint in her eyes. " But I want you to deal with him nicely for leaving you alone for all those years, first. After all, no man leaves my cute sister in law in a lurch like a scumbag and comes back like nothing ever happened."

Only then did Song Yan realise that her sister in law might not be as sweet as she looked——this sweet cheery had a spicy tinge to it.

She was going to respond when her phone suddenly rang, she noticed that it was an unfamiliar number but as soon as the person spoke, she knew who it was.

" Hey, sister in law! Will you be coming to the studio? I think you should. Even the director asked me to tell you, that you should come here and take a look, and see how things work." Wang Yufan boisterously yapped.

Lips twitching, Song Yan had an urge to roll her eyes. No, thanks. She lived as a ghost for five hundred years, she knew better than the director himself how everything worked in a studio.
