Chapter 371  : Notorious, Falling in Love Is Life-Threatening

At this moment, Fu Sinian was far away in Jinling. He had originally planned to go back yesterday, but the Fu family had been at the center of attention at the time, and Fu Chen had asked him to go back two days later.

He knew that All Beings had recently changed its host and that Yu Manxi was preparing for her exam. The two of them had also met by chance at the elevator, and she was indeed studying at home.

From beginning to end, she had never mentioned anything about what had happened at the station to him, let alone about the unspoken rules.

Their occasional chats were mostly boring gossip. Yu Manxi rarely talked to him about work, so Fu Sinian knew nothing about her dismissal.

“Help me book a flight for tonight.” Fu Sinian stared at his phone, his deep eyes rippling slightly. Something was obviously brewing.

“Boss, aren’t you going to have dinner with Boss Sun later?” The few of them had indeed come out for work, and they had a dinner appointment with a client tonight.

“I’ll go back after dinner,” Fu Sinian said bluntly. “The rest is very simple. You can just stay and discuss it. Something happened at home, so I have to go back.”

The few of them were speechless.?Your family’s matter has already been resolved. Why are you going back?

Everyone knows who you want to go back and see. Why do you have to deceive us like this?

On the way to the dinner, Fu Sinian took out his laptop, placed it on his lap, opened the group chat, and downloaded the video. His fingers moved quickly on the keyboard, and the light from the laptop reflected on his face, flickering repeatedly…

“Boss, what are you doing?” Everyone was suspicious.

“I’m busy.” Fu Sinian was silent.

They were speechless.?Everyone knows you’re busy.

In just a few minutes, a video of a popular host encountering the unspoken rules went viral on the internet. The video had been edited, leaving only Director Wan admitting to having ill intentions toward Yu Manxi. Moreover, there was only Director Wan in the video, and Yu Manxi had been cut out the entire time.

But her voice was very recognizable, so people immediately knew who it was when they heard it.

Only then did everyone understand that her temporary withdrawal from the program was not for exam preparations but because she hadn’t accepted the unspoken rules and was fired.

Now, All Beings was in the eye of the storm, and Ding Jingyi was no exception. She had received a lot of criticism, so the station definitely couldn’t continue to use her. The reason Station Head Zheng had asked Yu Manxi to come back was partly because he was afraid of Duan Linbai and partly because he was forced to by the situation.

After all, among all the hosts who had appeared on this show, Yu Manxi had the best reputation.

At this moment, the tide of denouncing Director Wan was rising.

“My heart really aches for my goddess for encountering such blatant unspoken rules.”

“How can there be such a disgusting person? Look at that face full of wrinkles, yet he still wants to defile young ladies. How shameless.”

“Such a person should be fired @BeijingTV.”

…

***

When the video was uploaded, Duan Linbai was eating dinner with Yu Manxi. Station Head Zheng and some of the main leaders of the station were present.

“Young Master Duan, let me toast you.” Yu Manxi got up and poured a glass of wine.

Ding Jingyi had already finished her probation period and had already been fired. Because of his work style issues and illicit transactions, Wan Haidong had already been suspended for investigation. It was only a matter of time before he was kicked out of the TV station.

In contrast, Yu Manxi had profited from the disaster and signed an official employment contract with the TV station. Originally, she had not gotten her hosting certificate yet, and the station had refused to employ her as a host officially.

Speaking of which, it was all thanks to Duan Linbai.

“You’re welcome. Sit. Just have some tea. Why would a girl drink alcohol?” Duan Linbai smiled bitterly.

Just now, he had seen how domineering Yu Manxi was. Now that he had made a move to help her, if she really got together with Fu Sinian in the future, Fu Sinian wouldn’t be able to ‘take revenge’ on him.

“It’s what I should do. I’m doing it willingly.” The last time Yu Manxi had drunk with him, she thought that he was a good person. Now that she had vented her anger, she felt comfortable.

“Then drink less.” Duan Linbai coughed twice.

At this moment, almost all of their phones received a notification at the same time, all of which were about the video of the unspoken rules of the TV station.

The station head recalled that Duan Linbai had taken out his phone to take a video at the time, so he thought that Duan Linbai was the one who had posted it online. His expression was exceptionally strange.

“Why are you all looking at me?” Duan Linbai snorted coldly.

What the f*ck?

Do they all think I did it?

No one could be blamed for misunderstanding. He was the one who had recorded the video, and he was someone who wanted to see the world burn. Everyone would definitely think that it was him.

“It’s nothing.” The station head smiled bitterly. Duan Linbai was still planning to seek compensation from the station for his losses. They couldn’t afford to offend him at this time.

Duan Linbai exploded in anger. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he walked out with his phone.

When he reached the corridor, he called Fu Sinian.

From the editing of the video, it was apparent that an expert had made it. There were only four people in the group chat. Fu Chen and Jing Hanchuan wouldn’t do this, so it was definitely Fu Sinian.

The call connected…

“Hello.” Fu Sinian had also drunk some alcohol and was leaning against a corridor wall while answering the call.

“F*ck, Fu Sinian, aren’t you being dishonest? You posted the video online, but now everyone thinks I did it. I won’t be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River. F*cking give me back my pure name!”

“You’re pure,” Fu Sinian said in a low voice.

“F*ck you! I’m the f*cking scapegoat for you!”

…

Yu Manxi had drunk a lot of alcohol and was planning to go to the restroom. As soon as she came out, she heard Duan Linbai shouting Fu Sinian’s name.

She didn’t hear anything else, and she only found out that Fu Sinian had uploaded the video.

A certain feeling rose in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and entered the private room.

***

Old Fu residence…

Old Madam Fu was sitting in front of the TV tonight. When she saw Yu Manxi appear, she was quite happy. Moreover, she had publicly apologized to the Fu family and told everyone all the facts, which could be considered helping the Fu family.

Soon after, the video spread on the internet, making Old Madam Fu so angry that she stomped her feet.

“Are people’s hearts so black nowadays? I was wondering why she never appeared. People nowadays are really complicated. In the past, when everyone interacted with each other, there weren’t so many twists and turns.

“In the past, it was a centralized ownership system, and everything was owned by the public, so people couldn’t use the unspoken rules.” Fu Chen was sitting at the side and texting Song Fengwan.

“There are pros and cons.” Old Madam Fu sighed. “By the way, Third Son, it’s already October. Don’t forget our agreement from last year.”

Jing Hanchuan was sitting beside Huai Sheng and watching ‘Boonie Bears’ on TV. He turned his head to look at Fu Chen, curious about what the agreement was.

“I know,” Fu Chen said.

“Actually, Little Yu isn’t bad. I’ll get someone to ask around later.”

“Mom!” Fu Chen immediately stopped her. “She’s not my type.”

Jing Hanchuan had just seen the video in the group chat. Duan Linbai had directly pinged Fu Sinian, so she was Fu Sinian’s person.

Old Madam Fu is obviously unaware of the situation. She actually wants to introduce her granddaughter-in-law to her son. magic

“I’ve never seen you in a relationship before. Who knows what your type is.” Old Madam Fu harrumphed lightly. “It’s fine as long as your wife has a good heart and can lead a stable life. Don’t be picky.”

“Okay,” Fu Chen responded with a dull voice.

Seeing that he was starting to be perfunctory with her, Old Madam Fu frowned slightly. “Hanchuan…”

“Old Madam, I suddenly remember that I haven’t fed my fish at home yet.” Jing Hanchuan immediately got up and said goodbye.

“I’m heading home too. I’ll see you off.” Fu Chen quickly followed.

“Hey, you two…” Old Madam Fu wasn’t planning to urge him to get married. She just wanted to ask if the Pear Garden would be operating normally tomorrow.?Why is this brat running away?

“He was scared away by you.” Old Master Fu smiled.

Huai Sheng and Huang Can were living in the old residence recently. Having Old Madam Fu take care of them was better than following a man like Fu Chen.

“Hanchuan is really… He’s not young anymore, but he spends all his time fooling around with his fish ponds. He doesn’t even know how to find a wife properly, and his family isn’t in a hurry.”

“Would ordinary women dare to enter the Jing family?” Old Master Fu chuckled. Actually, in this era, how could the Jing family be as bloodthirsty and murderous as the rumors said? It was all because of the rumors.

“What should he do then?”

“Why not learn from his father?”

“Snatch one directly?” Only then did Old Madam Fu remember that there were two children in the living room. She hurriedly kept quiet.

“Are you talking about snatching a wife?” Huai Sheng asked in a hoarse voice. Huang Can was sitting beside him. From the moment she entered the house, she had been cautious and didn’t dare to speak much. She only listened quietly.

“Nonsense. What snatching a wife? You heard wrong.” Old Madam Fu coughed twice.

“Really?” Huai Sheng bit his lip and didn’t say anything.

In fact, Jing Hanchuan’s mother had really been abducted home by force. His mother had performed on stage, and Jing Hanchuan’s father had been a regular guest of the Pear Garden and always listened to her sing. He had even bought the Pear Garden to support her as a star. After one performance ended, he had gone straight on stage and carried her away.

At the time, when his grandmother’s family heard that their daughter had been snatched away by the Jing family bandits, they were so frightened that their legs went weak.

In that era, even if his mother was sent back, she would still feel that her innocence was gone. Her entire life would probably be ruined. At that time, his grandmother fainted from crying at home. She had gone to ask for her daughter back, but she had been frightened back. And there was no way to call the police either.

In the end, she even thought of preparing her daughter’s funeral. It was said that she even prepared a funeral picture.

In the end, the Jing family carried gold, silver, jewelry, TV, bicycles, and other things to her house to propose marriage.

Upon hearing that they were going to be in-laws with the Jing family, the family was frightened and trembled in fear. They trembled as they ate and drank with them. But his grandfather was also formidable, and he didn’t agree to this marriage.

Finally, his mother persuaded his grandfather and said that she was willing. Only then did the family agree.

Later, there were rumors that Jing Hanchuan’s mother had been snatched away by force, but the Jing family still wanted to marry her. They scared her until she fainted, and they even slaughtered her entire family because her family disagreed.

Actually, that wasn’t the case at all. Jing Hanchuan’s maternal family staying in the capital did indeed cause people to gossip. Many people avoided them when they heard that they were in-laws with the Jing family.

At the time, it just so happened that his grandmother’s health wasn’t good. Furthermore, the medical standards in the country were limited, so the Jing family paid for them to move their entire family out of the country. Their lives were very comfortable.

This time, his parents were not at home because they were overseas to visit their relatives. There was no such thing as exterminating an entire family.

Back then, the rumors had spread like wildfire. People even knew the time, place, and number of murdered people clearly. Those who didn’t know the truth really thought that the Jing family was full of murderers.

***

Jing Hanchuan sat in his car and went to Yunjin Prime Manor to get a few boxes of coconut cake, which Fu Chen had promised to give him.

“If you like it, I’ll get someone to send some over later.” Fu Chen poured him a cup of hot tea.

“It won’t be authentic.” Jing Hanchuan was very picky about food.

“I know someone who can buy authentic ones.”

“Then I won’t be polite.” Jing Hanchuan didn’t hesitate.

“How’s the investigation going?”

“Still investigating. I’ve made some progress.” When Jing Hanchuan saw that Fu Chen had only brought him two boxes of coconut cake, he frowned slightly. “I remember she left a lot for you. You’re so stingy?”

“My wife left this for me. It’s already not bad to give you two boxes.”

“How are you going to explain to your family about such a young lady? You’re really shameless.”

“I remember that your mother is more than ten years younger than your father. When your mother married him, she was only sixteen. When she got pregnant and gave birth to you, she was only twenty. Compared to him, I’m so weak.”

Jing Hanchuan choked on the cake. In the past, it was normal to get married early. But he didn’t expect Fu Chen to talk about this.

How devious.

“If you like any girl, don’t woo her. Just snatch her back to your bandit’s nest to become your wife. Otherwise, she’ll definitely leave and run to the ends of the world,” Fu Chen teased.

Jing Hanchuan chuckled lightly. “That’s still better than you. You’re hiding your relationship, and it can’t see the light of day. You’re on your phone all day. What kind of feelings can you connect with?”

“Wanwan’s birthday is soon. I’m choosing gifts. It’s useless to consult a single dog like you.”

Jing Hanchuan took a bite of the coconut cake.?Today’s cake…

Why is it so sour?

Standing at the side, Qian Jiang was trying his best to reduce his presence.?What’s wrong with these two people? Why can they start arguing at a moment’s notice?

***

On the way home, Jing Hanchuan asked his subordinates, “Do you also think I’ll scare her away?”

There was no sound in the car, not even of breathing. The few of them were dead silent.

Jing Hanchuan was speechless. “These girls nowadays are too timid.”

Everyone smiled bitterly.?This is the notorious Jing family. When girls fall in love, they worry about meeting someone improper and being cheated out of money and sex.. Falling in love with you is life-threatening.
