Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 791: Chapter 791: Wu Bingjie’s Schemes

Wu Bingjie crossed his legs and took a sip of tea, unable to hide the smug expression on his face.

Back then, he did indeed have feelings for Zhang Wenjuan; otherwise, he wouldn’t have disregarded his family’s objections and followed her to the countryside in Ji City.

But now everything has changed; how could he possibly marry someone who has ruined her reputation?

If she hadn’t sent someone to bring him a message, he would almost have forgotten about her.

But whether what she said was true or not would be known once she returned to Beijing.

Once he got what she mentioned, he likely wouldn’t spare her another glance.

Thinking of the good prospects, a strange smile appeared on his face.

Wu Shengjun, who was pouring water for himself, missed the expression on Wu Bingjie’s face earlier: ”Son, that wife of yours from the countryside...”

Before he could finish, he heard Wu Bingjie say somewhat impatiently, ”She’s gone now, naturally she has nothing to do with me, don’t mention her in front of me anymore, it’s unlucky.”

Seeing his son’s impatient expression, Wu Shengjun looked worried: ”You know that family is unreasonable, now that their daughter is gone, I’m afraid they’ll go to extremes.”

Afraid his son wouldn’t take it seriously, he continued, ”Back then, they dared to use tricks to latch onto you, how can you be sure they won’t cause trouble again?”

Wu Bingjie sneered, ”Back then, I had no choice but to bow down under the eaves; even if he makes a fuss at the school, so what? It’s not like I was the one who killed his daughter.”

This did make some sense, and Wu Shengjun nodded: ”Alright then, as long as you know what you’re doing.”

He worried that family would come to the school looking for Wu Bingjie for benefits, and if they caused trouble, even if you were in the right, your reputation might suffer.

Seeing his son didn’t care at all, he could only drop the subject.

As soon as Fu Chenyi entered the Fu Family residence, he saw his mother rush over: ”Son, you must not believe what those people say; how can a young girl possibly have such capabilities? You can’t risk your health.”

Fu Chenyi knew what his mom was worried about: ”Mom, Old Master Yuan made it very clear that day; this is my last hope, I want to give it a try.”

Seeing his mom wanted to say more: ”Mom, I have no other way now, unless you want, like the Tan Family, for the Fu Family line to end.”

Xu Yuqing nearly lost her breath at her son’s words: ”Son, how can you say something like that?”

Fu Chenyi’s eyes were filled with coldness: ”Then why do you keep stopping me? I’m already a cripple; even if it can’t be cured, what do I have to lose?”

Xu Yuqing knew her son was under a lot of pressure, but how could she not be either? How could a little girl cure something that so many experts couldn’t?

She feared another failure would completely crush her son; she was really scared: ”Son, at worst, we can adopt a child from the main family, please don’t torture yourself anymore, okay?”

Xu Yuqing began to cry as soon as she heard her son’s words: ”Then promise me, no matter what the outcome, you’ll accept it calmly.”

What she dared not say was: if something really happens to you, mom won’t be able to survive either.

Fu Chenyi knew what his mom was worried about: ”Mom, rest assured, I won’t leave anything of the Fu Family to anyone, including Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and that scheming woman with her illegitimate son.”

Hearing her son’s words, Xu Yuqing burst into tears, hugging him tight: So her son knew everything.

Heaven knows how painfully she had been enduring.
