Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Mrs. Fu Unleashes Her Might

The matchmaker’s expression stiffened, then she forced a smile.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Fu. I never expected your daughter Mingxue to be so accomplished, getting into university and all. However—"

Her tone shifted. "Getting married is like a second chance at life. Song Yan has a good career in the army, and I hear he’s about to be promoted. His future is limitless! Plus, he’s handsome. Isn’t that what you call young and promising?"

"Of course, he has three kids and an invalid mother at home, but that’s no big deal. Song Yan’s salary is high. If Mingxue can’t handle it all on her own, his older sister can help out."

Mrs. Fu’s face darkened. "Stop right there. My Mingxue is focusing on university right now. She’s not getting married. You can leave—"

The matchmaker grew displeased. "Now, Mrs. Fu, that’s where you’re wrong. What’s the point of a woman studying so much? In the end, doesn’t she still have to get married? Song Yan himself said he’s willing to give his entire salary to his wife. A catch like that doesn’t come around every day—"

Unable to listen any longer, Fu Mingxue stepped out. "If he’s such a rare catch, we can’t let the opportunity go to waste. I hear you have several unmarried young women in your own family, Aunt Zhao! Why not introduce one of them to Song Yan?"

The matchmaker—Aunt Zhao—froze. frёewebnoѵēl.com

’It’s not that I don’t want to,’ she thought. ’It’s that he’s not interested in my family.’

"Mingxue, why don’t you say for yourself? Isn’t Song Yan a good man?"

Fu Mingxue scoffed. "How would I know if he’s a good man or not? If he were so great, why did he get a divorce? If he’s such a catch, Aunt Zhao, why don’t you marry your own daughter to him?"

"I don’t care if he’s a good man or not. The person I marry must be on his first marriage, and he can’t have any children. You want a young, unmarried woman like me to be a stepmother to three kids? Aunt Zhao, are you trying to ruin my life?"

"And another thing—" Disgust was plain in Fu Mingxue’s eyes. "A man who’s still all tangled up with his ex-wife has the nerve to propose to someone else."

Aunt Zhao was so thoroughly rebuked she was left speechless.

Mrs. Fu’s expression grew even darker. "My daughter will not be a stepmother to anyone’s children! Get out of here! If you’re that insistent, introduce your own daughter to him."

Fu Mingxue added bluntly, "Just now, he was helping his ex-wife try to snatch my university acceptance letter. I think this marriage proposal is a sham. The real goal was to help his ex-wife scheme for my letter. He’s absolutely shameless."

"No, that’s impossible—" The matchmaker immediately denied such a ridiculous accusation.

At this, Mrs. Fu could no longer contain her fury. She roared, "Tell that Song Yan to get lost! My daughter earned that university acceptance letter herself. If his ex-wife has what it takes, let her go take the exam herself. Scheming against my daughter? Not a chance."

She reached out and shoved the woman right out the door.

The matchmaker staggered but didn’t dare cause a scene.

After all, if what the mother and daughter said was true—then Song Yan was a real piece of work.

’Looks like I won’t be earning that commission after all.’

"Mom, I’m going to find Bai Siqi and settle the score—"

Mrs. Fu shot her a glare. "You stay right here. I’ll go."

Then she stormed out, slamming the main gate shut behind her and calling back to Fu Mingxue, "Don’t you dare come out."

Fu Mingxue was baffled.

「Fuming with rage, Mrs. Fu arrived at the Bai family’s home.」

She pounded on the Bai Family’s main gate. "Bai Siqi, get your ass out here right now—"

"Bai Siqi, get out here!"

Seeing Mrs. Fu’s menacing demeanor, a neighbor came out and asked, "What’s all this about?"

"That shameless Bai Siqi! She actually tried to snatch my daughter’s university acceptance letter! How could she be so shameless? Does she think she can just steal someone else’s because she’s too brainless to pass the exam herself?"

"How could her parents have raised such a malicious child?"

Hearing this explosive news, the neighbors were all dumbfounded. ’Heavens, could it be true?’

"Bai Siqi, get out here this instant! Stop hiding like a coward in your shell—"
