I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 304


    “You—you sharp-tongued vixen!”


    Song Zhenyan had not expected Shi Nuan to retaliate. There wasn’t an ounce of respect in the way


    that the girl had spoken to her. “You insolent witch! How dare youpare yourself to me?”


    “No, indeed!” Shi Nuan smiled ndly. “Actually, I must thank you for praising my oratory skills, Mrs.


    Fu. After all, your son is of the same mind as you!”


    “Shut the hell up!” Song Zhenyan mmed the table angrily. “I suppose that you won’t be leaving Yan,


    then.”


    “I don’t have any reason to leave my husband!” Shi Nuan snapped. “Mrs. Fu, I wonder why you’ve even


    bothered to call me here, for this discussion today. What sort of mother doesn’t want her son to be


    happy? Yet, I had the misfortune of meeting you, Mrs. Fu. Your desperate attempts to break up our


    marriage have made me a little confused.”


    Song Zhenyan red at Shi Nuan as though she was looking at her biggest nemesis. “Of course I want


    my son to be happy and fulfilled. Nevertheless, I’ll never ept you as his wife. Never!”


    Shi Nuan had never met Song Zhenyan before this, so she never had the opportunity to get into her


    bad books. However, upon seeing the malicious look on the older woman’s face, anyone would have


    thought that the both of them harbored an ancient grudge against one another.


    Shi Nuan pursed her lips. “Why not? I’ve never offended you in any way…”


    “Take a good look at your own face!” Song Zhenyan spat suddenly. “Why do you think Yan fell for you


    in the first ce? I’ll tell you— it’s because of your face! You—you’re no more than a recement for


    her…”


    Before Song Zhenyan could finish speaking, there was a loud bang, as someone kicked the door in.


    Shi Nuan and Song Zhenyan were nearly startled out of their seats. Keeping her wits about her,


    however, Shi Nuan turned to Song Zhenyan and asked, “Yes, who am I?”


    “You are nobody but yourself!”


    A hulking figure of a man had appeared in the doorway. His face was clouded over with rage, and the


    dangerous aura that he radiated sent shivers down the two women’s spine. As he met his gaze to Song


    Zhenyan’s, his gaze resembled that of an arsenal of knives that were hurtling towards her.


    For an inexplicable reason, Song Zhenyan felt petrified at that moment. She got up hastily and gazed


    at Fu Chengyan, her face entirely white. He is my son, but he is also the man whom I fear the most in


    the entire world. ”Y—Yan, what brings you here?”


    Fu Chengyan refused to shift his gaze from hers. His lips narrowed cruelly, to match the dark


    expression on his face.


    Shi Nuan was no exception, She could feel the anger radiating from him too. Fu Chengyan is certainly


    furious, this time around.


    Fu Chengyan gazed at Song Zhenyan for a long while. A momentter, he finally stepped into the


    room. With every step that he took, Song Zhenyan felt as though a knife was being plunged, deep into


    her heart.


    Fu Chengyan stopped beside Shi Nuan and ced a protective arm on her shoulder. His arm felt a


    little heavy, and the expression on his face was still extremely ugly. “Why am I here? Madam Song, I


    was merely wondering why you’d invited my wife out today.”


    Madam Song?


    This was not the first time that Fu Chengyan had addressed her, using that offending name, but Song


    Zhenyan could not ept the fact that he was being so rude to her in front of an outsider.


    Song Zhenyan balled her hands into fists. Taking a deep breath, she muttered evenly, “Yan, I’m your


    mother. Now that you’re married, shouldn’t I meet your wife?”


    “My mother?” Fu Chengyan smiled mockingly. “Madam Song, I’m afraid that you’ve forgotten that I


    don’t have one.”


    “You…” Song Zhenyan leaped up from her chair abruptly, so staggered by his tant deration that


    she was swaying slightly as she stood up. “Yan, I know that you hate me, but that won’t change the fact


    that you’re my son.”


    “Yes, I can’t change the fact that you’d given birth to me, but I can decide what I’d like to do with our


    rtionship from now on!” Fu Chengyan snapped, his eyes shing dangerously. “Perhaps I haven’t


    been clear enough with you, Madam Song. Listen to me very carefully, because I’m not going to repeat


    myself— Shi Nuan is my wife, and nobody can change that fact! I don’t care for the Song family’s and


    the Fu family’s approval of our rtionship— your opinions mean nothing to me!”


    “Yan!”

    Song Zhenyan staggered backward. cing both of her hands on the table to steady herself, she took


    a deep, shuddering breath and announced, “Yan, are you going to go up against the Fu and Song


    families just for this woman? Do you have any idea what you’re doing? You’re the future head of the Fu


    family!”


    “It’s up to me to decide whether this is worth it or not!” Fu Chengyan responded angrily. “The Song


    family has no business making this decision for me.”


    If Fu Chengyan had been holding back earlier, he certainly wasn’t bothering to do so now. Meeting


    Song Zhenyan’s gaze coolly, he snapped, “Madam Song, hasn’t your brother left Jiang City recently? I


    think that he must have forgotten to bring you along with him.”


    Song Zhenyan was aghast. “I’m the daughter-inw of the Fu family, and your father’s wife!”


    “Oh, so you do remember that you’re my father’s wife. Congrattions!” Fu Chengyan smirked cruelly


    as he continued gazing at Song Zhenyan, tantly ignoring her horrified expression. “There’s no need


    for you to inform me about what’s going on between you and the Fu family. Simrly, there’s no need


    for me to seek the approval of outsiders, regarding my marriage and my wife. This is myst warning to


    you— if you dare to visit my wife again, Madam Song, I’ll make sure that you bear the consequences


    yourself.”


    Fu Chengyan took Shi Nuan by the hand as they prepared to leave. Just then, Song Zhenyan called


    out to him as she questioned urgently, “Yan, do you know what you’re saying now? Are you aware of


    what you’re doing?”


    Fu Chengyan replied, “Yes, I’m very clear on that!”


    “Good, good on you!” Song Zhenyanughed, as a sudden realization dawned upon her. “So, you’d


    actually gotten married to this woman a long time ago! Were you also the one behind the rumors of Shi


    Wei and yourself? You had done that to divert our attention so that we would go up against Shi Wei


    instead of this wench here, didn’t you?”


    Song Zhenyan gritted her teeth in anger. She finally realized that her son had yed her for a fool. The


    Shi Wei affair had taken ce a while ago— the entire Fu family had been dancing in the palm of Fu


    Chengyan’s hand all this time.


    Something shed in Fu Chengyan’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything. However, Song Zhenyan could


    tell from his expression that she had hit the nail on its head.


    Song Zhenyan felt like an idiot. She had lived for such a long time and she had learned almost


    everything there was to know about people, only to end up getting tricked by her own son. Am I too


    foolish, or is Fu Chengyan simply a genius? Whatever the answer, his methods are simply too harsh!


    Song Zhenyan took a deep breath. When she finally spoke, her voice sounded rather hoarse. “So…


    Were you the one behind Jingyu’s incident too?”


    Hearing this, Fu Chengyan raised a brow, as he immediately released his hold on Shi Nuan’s hand.


    Shi Nuan felt a little nervous. After all, Song Zhenyan was still recuperating from her illness. It appears


    as though she is going to faint, at any given moment. Rather worriedly, Shi Nuan cautioned him, “Yan,


    your mother…”


    Fu Chengyan turned around and shook his head at her. Patting her back gently, he ordered, “Go and


    stand by the side for a minute.”


    Shi Nuan wanted to say something else, but she didn’t know where to begin. Obediently, she went to


    stand by the side of the room to observe the ensuing conversation between the mother and son. Quite


    frankly, she was curious about what had happened back then, too.


    All Shi Nuan knew was that Song Jingyu had been taken away by members of the Song family.


    However, she wasn’t aware of the true details of the situation. Seeing the thunderstruck look on Song


    Zhenyan’s face, Shi Nuan started to feel slightly sympathetic towards her.


    Song Zhenyan took a deep breath as she shot an infuriated re at Shi Nuan. Her words had done


    nothing to help the situation.


    Now that she thought about it, Song Zhenyan realized that Fu Chengyan had yet to take action against


    the Song family, throughout the three years. However, he has chosen to strike today without any


    warning. Song Zhenyan decided that there was only Shi Nuan to me for this— the vitriol in her eyes


    as she gazed at the girl doubled instantly.


    Shi Nuan didn’t know why Song Zhenyan was looking at her with so much fury, but she didn’t,


    particrly care. She was more worried about Fu Chengyan.


    Fu Chengyan’s gaze shifted from Shi Nuan to his mother. As he looked at her with a steely glint in his


    eyes, he pronounced, “The Song family has been in a decline ever since my uncle became the head of


    the family. Isn’t it time for a change in leadership?”


    “What do you think you’re doing?” Song Zhenyan gazed fearfully at him. “Don’t you dare go up against


    the Song family! My kinsmen are innocent!”


    Fu Chengyanughed, but there wasn’t a hint of mirth in his voice when he spoke. “Innocent? That’s


    thest word that I would use to describe the Song family. I might have been very young back then, but


    I knew exactly what was going on. My father went easy on you because he had feelings for you, but


    that doesn’t mean that I’m going to do the same. You took advantage of my father’s love, attempting to


    manipte him into giving you all of the Fu family’s assets. The Song family had nned everything


    out really well!”


    “Do you even hear yourself? How could I have done that to the Fu family?” Song Zhenyan’s face was


    white as a sheet. “I’m your mother! Do you really think that I could have done something like that?”


    “You might not have been able to do it, but I wouldn’t put it past the Song family to have done


    something like that. Why don’t you ask your older brother yourself? Ask him what he had done to you,


    thirty-five years ago.” Fu Chengyan walked slowly towards Song Zhenyan, backing her into a corner.


    “My father was loyal to you till the very end, but you’d helped the Song family, plotting against him.


    Here are a few more questions that you should ask your brother— what did he do to my father twenty-


    five years ago, and what did he do to Song Jingyu, three years ago?”


    As Fu Chengyan inched closer to her, Song Zhenyan continued to back away in horror.


    Fu Chengyan’s words seemed rather innocuous, but Song Zhenyan knew exactly what he was talking


    about. After all, she had been around to witness it all— the incidents from thirty-five, twenty-five, and


    three years ago showed up vividly in her mind as though they had only just happened yesterday.


    “That’s impossible!”


    Seeing the devastated look on Song Zhenyan’s face, Fu Chengyan smiled at her, rather mockingly. As


    the smile vanished from his face, he gazed coldly at Song Zhenyan and chided, “Madam Song, you


    have some brains in that head of yours, so you must know that I’m telling you the truth. If you want to


    know the answer to those questions now, however, I can merely provide you with the evidence this


    instant!”


    “No, no! I don’t want to see it!” Song Zhenyan gazed at her son, looking as though she was in a trance.


    Suddenly, she burst intoughter. “Haha, look at this good-for-nothing son that I’ve given birth to! I’m


    his mother, but he has chosen to go up against me to side with this outsider instead!” Song Zhenyan


    jabbed an usatory finger at Shi Nuan and spat, “Are you going to cut off all your rtives just for this


    wench? Does it make you happy to reopen old wounds from my past?”


    Fu Chengyan was livid. When he spoke, however, his voice was perfectly even. “You’ve used those old


    wounds as an excuse to harm my father over the past few decades. Doesn’t that make you equally as


    poisonous and self-serving as you make me out to be?”


    Song Zhenyan widened her eyes and looked at Fu Chengyan. She wanted to scream back at him, but


    she was at a loss for words.


    “Is— is this how you’ve thought of me all along? Do I really seem like such a vile woman in your eyes?”


    “Well, am I wrong?” Fu Chengyan snapped. He stuck his hands into his pockets and brooded in silence


    for a long while. Finally, he uttered, “When I was six, I saw you drug my father as you sent another


    woman into his bed. From that moment onwards, I knew that you were the sort of woman who would


    do anything to get what she wanted.”


    “You…” Song Zhenyan’s eyes widened in shock. She stared at Fu Chengyan in disbelief.


    Six years old! Fu Chengyan had only been six!


    Back then, she had watched helplessly, as Fu Heng got married to that wretch, Ning Xin, having a


    daughter with her. The daughter had been named Fu Jiaqi. Afterward, she started to harbor a strong


    grudge against Fu Sheng. Why had he taken her virginity back then? Why had he epted her as his


    wife?


    Everyone knew that the man that she truly loved was Fu Heng. She was supposed to have married him


    instead.


    However, Fu Heng had wound up marrying Ning Xin instead, and Song Zhenyan had nearly gone mad


    with jealousy. She had wanted to kill both Ning Xin and Fu Sheng, for taking away her chance at


    happiness.


    Hence, on Fu Sheng’s birthday that year, she had coaxed him into drinking the drugced wine. When


    Fu Sheng was so drunk that he couldn’t tell left from right, she had sent one of his interns, a personal


    assistant, into his bed. She had wanted Fu Sheng to pay the price for his actions.


    However, this n of hers had merely backfired on her, in the end…
