Chapter 94: Father, You’re Too Much!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Jiang Jingchen arrived outside Tang Beibei’s school, he called her but she didn’t pick up.
He had specially checked her class schedule to make sure that she had no classes in the afternoon. He called her a few more times, but no one picked up. He was worried and wanted to get out of the car immediately.
Song Zhou quickly stopped him. He couldn’t let the young master break his disguise for his wife.
“Young Master, perhaps the teacher organized a last-minute class? Why don’t you check Young Madam’s location?”
Jiang Jingchen frowned. He was in a foul mood because he couldn’t reach his wife.
He opened the app on his phone and checked Tang Beibei’s location. When he realized that she was not in school at all, his face changed.
“I’m sending her location to your phone. Let’s go and find my wife!”
Hearing his stern tone, Song Zhou was also worried that something might have happened to Tang Beibei, so he quickly drove to find her.
Tang Beibei saw all the missed calls from Jiang Jingchen on her phone and quickly called him back.
Jiang Jingchen said that he was in the middle of something and would come and pick her up when he was done.
Tang Beibei said bye to Fu Jin. A complicated emotion flashed across Fu Jin’s eyes, but he smiled and said that he would see her off.
Tang Beibei waited for a while outside the dance studio. When she saw Song Zhou with the car, she said bye to Ruan Qi and Fu Jin and got into the car.
Fu Jin looked inside the car and saw the masked Jiang Jingchen before he looked away indifferently.
After the car drove away, Fu Jin asked Ruan Qi curiously, “Have you met Beibei’s husband? What’s he like?”
Ruan Qi replied casually, “I’ve met him once. He is good-tempered but his face is quite scary. Our Beibei’s idea of beauty isn’t something normal people can appreciate.”
She suddenly realized something and turned to look at Fu Jin. Fu Jin smiled politely.
Ruan Qi quickly added, “Beibei didn’t marry him willingly. She was forced by the Rong family. She had no choice but to marry Jiang Jingchen. Beibei is also a person who accepts her fate, so she and Jiang Jingchen are more like good friends.”
Fu Jin was surprised. “Beibei was forced?”
“Yes. When Beibei rejected you before, she actually didn’t know that you were confessing to her. Moreover, you chose to do it on April Fool’s Day. Beibei only celebrated her lunar birthday, but she didn’t really like her own birthday.”
“…” Fu Jin choked.
When he found out that Tang Beibei’s birthday was on April 1st, he decided to confess to her on her birthday. He didn’t expect it to be treated as an April Fool’s Day joke.
“In that case, 1 didn’t express myself well.”
Ruan Qi continued, “Beibei is a little slow when it comes to matters of the heart. If you don’t explain it to her directly, she won’t think in that direction.”
“You’ve probably heard that Lu Fan wanted to pursue her, but he didn’t confess in time and Beibei was already married. When Lu Fan wanted to pursue Beibei again, she felt that she couldn’t accept anyone else since she was married. So, Lu Fan missed his chance just like that.”

Fu Jin was stunned. It turned out that Lu Fan and Tang Beibei were not a couple, but Lu Fan had defended Tang Beibei many times. He had even done some subtle things that hinted at the intimate nature of their relationship.
He had his own pride, so he didn’t pester Tang Beibei after she rejected him. Now it seemed that he had been dumped.
He looked in the direction of Tang Beibei’s car, which had driven off into the distance. Would she give him a chance if he tried again?
In the car, Tang Beibei apologized to Jiang Jingchen.
“Ruan Qi and 1 were practicing our dance and forgot the time. I’m sorry.”
Jiang Jingchen listened to her explain that she was with Ruan Qi. Seeing that her cheeks were flushed from the workout, he reached out to push away the messy hair on her cheeks.
“Show me your dance when we get home, okay?”
“Um, sure.”
Tang Beibei felt even more guilty when she saw that he wasn’t angry but was concerned about her.
Jiang Jingchen curled his lips and pinched her cheek. “If you do something wrong in future, don’t try to close the chapter with just a verbal ‘sorry’. You have to show it.”
“Show it?”
Tang Beibei was stunned for a moment before she got it and kissed him on the lips.
“I apologize. I’ll be more careful in future.”
“Okay.” Jiang Jingchen’s face was still long, as if he had reluctantly accepted her apology.

Song Zhou glanced behind him through the rearview mirror. The young master was so calm now. If he hadn’t seen with his own eyes how he panicked when he couldn’t reach her when they went to pick her up from school just now, he would have thought that the young master had a split personality.
The next day, after Tang Beibei went to school, Wen Nan heard the noise upstairs and frowned. She asked Song Zhou what was going on on the second floor.
“Young Master is converting one of the guest rooms into a dance studio. The workers are installing it now.”
“A dance studio?” Wen Nan frowned. “Does Beibei want to learn how to dance?”
“You can say that. Young Madam learned to dance when she was young.” Song Zhou said.
Wen Nan’s lips twitched. “Your young master really dotes on Tang Beibei. He’s already tearing down the house and causing such a big commotion.”
Song Zhou knew that Wen Nan was jealous, which was why she was being so sarcastic.
He said, “Young Master does dote on Young Madam. After all, he only has one wife. How can Young Master not dote on her?”
“…” Wen Nan gritted her teeth. Well, no one knew if the two of them would be together for long!
Song Zhou watched Wen Nan go back to her room before he retracted his gaze and went to the study.
“Young Master, news about Rong Chan’er is out. Song Hai really cleared his name by running her. Now that the scandal has blown up, I’m afraid Rong Chan’er can no longer pretend to be a lady.”
Jiang Jingchen stared at his phone indifferently. “Song Hai has cleared his name. His next step should be to go along with his family’s arrangement and get engaged to Lu Linlin.”
Song Zhou was surprised. His young master’s prediction was spot on.
“The Song Family and the Lu Family have met, and they will be engaged soon. But 1 heard that Lu Linlin isn’t quite willing. The Song family would need the Jiang family’s help to realize this cooperation.”
Jiang Jingchen narrowed his cold eyes, which were filled with hostility.
“Well, this marriage won’t happen. 1 shall wait and see who from the Jiang family will help them.”
If he wanted to rattle the Jiang family, he had to destroy the Song family first.
After being tortured for an entire night, Rong Chan’er returned to the Rong residence in a sorry state.
She went upstairs to take a shower before lying on the bed. The scenes from last night kept playing in her head; she felt miserable and started crying.
How dare that b*tch Lu Linlin do this to her? If she was going to hell, she was going to pull Lu Lilin along!
She closed her eyes to take a nap when she heard the door open.
“Rong Chan’er, what’s wrong with you? What a scandal you have caused! Didn’t you say that you were getting along well with the Young Master Song Hai of the Song family? How can you mess around with other men? You’re too shameless!”
Rong Chan’er felt terrible when she heard the words of her biological father, Rong Yong.
“I have been set up. As my father, you slandered me without even asking me what happened? Father, you’re too much!”
“I’m too much? If you don’t hang out at bars, how would you give others the chance to set you up? Rong Chan’er, you’re still blaming me for your screw-up? It’s true that daughters are nothing but money-losing propositions!” Rong Yong scolded with a ferocious expression.
Rong Chan’er wailed in grievance, “You never scolded me when 1 went to the bar with Song Hai!”
Rong Yong sneered, “You went to the bar with Song Hai because you wanted to please him so you could become a young madam of the Song family. But now that you’ve done these shameless things, everything is for naught!”
The more Rong Yong thought about it, the more his heart ached. If he could become in-laws with the Song family, it would definitely be of great help to the Rong Corporation and elevate his status.
At this moment, the door opened again. It was He Li who rushed over.
“Chan’er, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you say that you have a good relationship with Young Master Song Hai? How could you not be able to stand the loneliness and mess around with other men? Now that this matter has blown up, Young Master Song Hai would definitely dump you!”
Rong Chan’er looked at her parents in disbelief. She had suffered such great humiliation, but they didn’t say a word of comfort. They were only worried that Song Hai would dump her.
In their eyes, the status and influence of the Song family was more important than her, their biological daughter!
