I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 286
“You don’t have to worry about that.” It was easy for Su Shaoqing to say as he wasn’t the one who did
it. Besides, even if the Song family were to seek revenge, it would be against Fu Chengyan and had
nothing to do with him.
“Alright, I’ll head home first then. You should go home too. Your father had always hoped that you
would return to take over the family business. It would certainly be good for you.”
“Let’s not talk about me. You know me, I don’t have what it takes to be a businessman. Besides, there’s
always my brother!” Su Shaoqing replied lightly.
Fu Heng squinted his eyes. “Is that so?”
Fu Heng had watched Su Shaoqing grow up too. Although he had chosen to go into medicine, Fu Heng
knew the real reason for his choice. He couldn’t help but sigh and said, “It’s a good idea for you not to
take over the family business. Ling would be…”
“Uncle!” Su Shaoqing interrupted him suddenly. “I have to go now.”
“Alright!” Fu Heng nodded, as he realized that he should let them live their lives and intervene less
since he was getting old. However, Ling’s face constantly appeared in his mind. Perhaps it was
because Ling had gone through a simr experience as his daughter, Pei Huan. They were both sisters
and best friends at the same time. Given what they had to go through, Fu Heng just wished that both of
them would be able to find happiness.
After Fu Heng had left, Su Shaoqing stayed back and stood by his car for a long time. He took out a
pack of cigarettes and picked one out with his trembling fingers. As he closed his eyes, his mind was
filled with images of her – from when she was little up to when she became a youngdy. She would
later grow up to be a feisty woman in front of others while being reserved in front of him.
Unknowingly, the cigarette he was holding had crooked as he became tense thinking about those
memories.
Su Shaoqing took a deep forceful breath and entered his car. Although the heater was on, he still felt a
lonely chill throughout his body. He wound down the windshield to allow the cold air outside to rush in.
Only after a long while did he gave Fu Chengyan a call.
“Song Jingyu had a nervous breakdown!”

Fu Chengyan was hugging Shi Nuan to sleep when he received Su Shaoqing’s call. His eyes gleamed
coldly in the darkness of the bedroom.
He pulled aside his nket and got out of bed gently. After covering her back with the nket, he
proceeded to his study. “How did you know?”
“What did you do today?” Su Shaoqing couldn’t help butugh. He ced his hand on the car window
sill and tapped his fingers in curiosity. He added, “She is in my hospital now and had to be given two
sedative jabs before she would calm down.”
When he heard the nurse said that Song Jingyu had been warded into the hospital, Su Shaoqing could
roughly guess what transpired. “You’re really ruthless to use such a heavy-handed method on ady!”
There was not an ounce of mercy in those sharp eyes of Fu Chengyan. He put a hand in his pocket as
he snorted at what Su Shaoqing had just said. “Is this the first day you got to know me?” It wasn’t like
Su Shaoqing’s methods were any less savage than his.
On the other end, Su Shaoqing took another forceful breath. It could be that it was just too cold outside,
and he had forgotten to bring his coat along. “What do you n to do next?”
“What is her current condition?”
“I don’t know, I’ve just left the hospital. By the way, both your parents are at the hospital, and they are
injured.” Su Shaoqing uttered a light ‘tsk’ before continuing, “I think your parents are really weird.”
Su Shaoqing had never liked Song Zhenyan despite not having met her before. To him, she was just an
idiot. His hatred for Song Zhenyan started when he was young too. The story went too far back and
had to be started from Ling.
Ling was Fu Chengyan’s sister by another mother. She was an illegitimate child. The reason why Ling
was never epted into the Fu n was because of Song Zhenyan.
During that time, she was looking for an excuse to divorce Fu Sheng, so she drugged Fu Sheng and a
female undergraduate. Both of them slept together, and that was how Ling was born. However, Song
Zhenyan’s marriage with Fu Sheng didn’t end because of that. It ended because that female
undergraduate had to feel the brunt of the Song family’s wrath instead. Meanwhile, Ling, who was the
most innocent of all, was then banished before she was even born. She could never be recognized as
a member of the Fu n, and her existence would never be acknowledged.
Su Shaoqing clenched his fists, and his fiery tone caught Fu Chengyan by surprise. “You don’t have to
vent your anger at me!”
Su Shaoqingughed suddenly. “What anger is there left in me? By the way, aren’t you going to visit
them? They’re both injured, you know. Don’t you n to create some drama out of this?”
“It’s not time yet!” Fu Chengyan said softly. “It’ste now. I’m going back to bed.”
“Hello? Hello?” Su Shaoqing repeated a few times and realized that Fu Chengyan had ended the call
before he had the opportunity to say anything else. Su Shaoqing’s eyes widened as he stared at the
nk phone screen. With his gritted teeth, he mumbled in frustration. “Chengyan!” You bastard!
He was in a foul mood today and was looking for someone to vent on. Fu Chengyan saw iting and
avoided him instead.
Su Shaoqing clenched his phone and proceeded to repeatedly lock and unlock his phone. After a
while, his anger died down. He then unconsciously opened his album on his phone and scrolled
through the photos.
In one of the photos, a girl looked spirited and had a vibrant smile. She was wearing a long dress and
standing underneath a tree looking at something…
In the meantime, the Song family at the capital heard about Song Jingyu’s episode that night itself.
Song Huaiyan was shocked when he heard it; he had not expected Song Jingyu to have a nervous
breakdown.
ording to their spy in the Fu residence. Song Jingyu not only became hysterical, but she had also
hurt Song Zhenyan and Fu Sheng. It was grave news to both the Song family and Song Huaiyan.
No one in the Song family could sleep that night as they were discussing their remedial n. The
priority was no longer about Song Jingyu’s marriage to Fu Chengyan anymore. It was about damage
control instead.
Based on Song Huaiyan’s knowledge of the Fu n, they would definitely blow this out of proportion.
By then, it would be a lot more difficult to extricate themselves from the situation.
“I’ve said this before. A leopard doesn’t change its spots – the daughter is no different from her mother.
We can all still remember vividly when her mother went hysterical at the Song residence. It’s even
worse now that she shed someone. Who did you think the Fu n was?”
It was Song Huaiyu who spoke first. He was Song Huaiyan’s cousin and was known to be a fast talker.
All this while, he had been dissatisfied with the fact that therger Song family had sided with Song
Huaiyan for a long time.
“Shut up!”
Song Huaiyan was already furious and didn’t have any more tolerance for such talk. “Jingyu isn’t
violent, and she’s still a member of the Song family. Can you please show some respect?”
“Am I being disrespectful? Hah! She’s a member of the Song family? What has she got to do with our
family? Now, isn’t it wonderful that she has made a mistake and all of us have to pay for it? Huaiyan,
your own son is right here! I think you are more concerned about Song Jingyu than him!”
“Enough!” Song Huaiyan pursed his lips. “It’s not the time for such talk. We should be thinking about
how to exin this to the Fu n.”
Song Huaiyan was in a quandary. His initial n was to have Fu Chengyan submit to him but did not
expect to have the tables turned on him instead. Indeed, it wasn’t easy to deal with Fu Chengyan.
However, they were already in disarray even before Fu Chengyan did anything to them.
“Enough, I called all of you here to discuss the matter. Why are you arguing with each other instead?”
Song Min reprimanded the group in a frustrated tone. He was Song Huaiyan’s father and the patriarch
of the Song family. He then red at both Song Huaiyan and Song Huaiyu. “Alright, I don’t think any of
you cane out with anything concrete. Go home now! As for Huaiyan, you’re gonna have to stay
back!”
When everyone else had left, Song Min stamped his cane on the floor forcefully. “Look at what you
have done. I told you not to involve Song Jingyu in this. There are a lot of ways to improve our
rtionship with the Fu n. We’re not short of daughters either. Why can’t you have chosen someone
else?”
“Father!” Song Huaiyan raised his eyebrows and was in an equally foul mood. “This has nothing to do
with Jingyu, she…”
“Nothing to do with her? I know you disagreed with what we did to her mother then. Are you feeling
guilty now? You have treated her very well over the years and provided her with everything she
needed. Who in the Song family received more attention than her? However, there has to be a limit to
what you are willing to do for her. I knew that you were agreeable to the decision made three years
ago. Although Fu Chengyan is still young, he has proven himself to be ruthless. Mark my words, he is
destined for more.”
“I know.” It was for that precise reason that Song Huaiyan wanted to exert his influence over Fu
Chengyan via Song Jingyu – so that the rtionship between the Song family and Fu n can be
solidified.
It also wasn’t the first time he had tried to establish his influence over the Fu n. During that time, he
wanted Song Zhenyan to marry Fu Sheng instead of Fu Heng for that same purpose. Of course, no
one else knew about the n except for Song Huaiyan himself and Song Min. “When I proposed to
have Zhenyan marry Fu Sheng then, didn’t you approve of it?”
“How is that the same? Zhenyan is my daughter, who is educated and well-versed in etiquette at the
same time. More importantly, she is not mentally ill!” Song Min refused to let his daughter be mentioned
in the same breath as a lunatic. “Alright then. Go to Jiang City tomorrow first thing in the morning. We
have to cover this matter up no matter what. The Fu n would not act impulsively since Zhenyan is
still a member of their family. I understand Fu Sheng well. He won’t do anything to harm Zhenyan!”
“Fine, my sentiments are the same.” He had to manage the situation before the matter blew up as he
was worried about what Fu Chengyan would do after that. He couldn’t let Song Jingyu singlehandedly
destroy the Song family. “I’ll bring Jingyu back. As for Zhenyan…”
“She’s a member of the Fu n regardless of what happens. A married daughter belongs to the family
she’s wedded to. It was a mistake for us to take her back in thest few years. She should’ve just
stayed with the Fu n!”
Song Min sighed and took the tea that Song Huaiyan had just passed him. “Huaiyan, you’re my son.
You’re the one that understands me the most. You will be the head of the Song family sooner orter.
However, you have to keep in mind that Song Jingyu is an outsider. Your heir is Jingyao, alright?”
