Chapter 8
Song Feier was able to track his departure from the company; if she had put in even a little more effort, she should have also been able to find out that Fu Chengyi had been kidnapped.
However, her attention was focused entirely on herself. Fu Chengyi’s life or death meant nothing to her, which was proof enough of how unimportant he was in her eyes.
Fu Chengyi was nothing more than a tool for her to marry into the Fu Family.
This wasn’t the first time Song Feier had neglected Fu Chengyi. In the past, there had been a series of incidents: persistent high fevers, taking the wrong medication, falling into a pond, and more.
Seven years was long enough for Fu Yanchen to see this woman’s true colors.
If she weren’t Fu Chengyi’s biological mother, he would have kicked her out long ago.
Hearing Fu Yanchen’s words and seeing his displeased expression, Song Feier finally reacted.
Had that little brat actually gotten into trouble?
She immediately put on a worried face and asked, “What? Chengyi is missing! Is he alright? Have you sent people to look for him?”
Fu Yanchen glanced at her indifferently and said, “He’s safe.”
“Then… then where is he now?”
“He’ll be staying at someone else’s house for the next few days.” Fu Yanchen clearly didn’t want to say more. He dropped those words and moved to leave.
In his heart, he actually felt that Fu Chengyi was better off with Song Yunnian than with Song Feier.
Song Feier stepped forward to block Fu Yanchen. His face was dark, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes.
“Yanchen, the day after tomorrow is Grandfather’s birthday. Can you… can you come back to the Song family with me to attend?”
She looked at Fu Yanchen fearfully, hoping he would nod in agreement.
Even though she used the child to stay by Fu Yanchen’s side, and even though everyone in Yuncheng knew her as Madam Fu…
In these seven years, Fu Yanchen had never mentioned marrying her.
She knew many people were laughing at her behind her back, but Fu Yanchen was not an easy man to manipulate.
If Fu Yanchen could go back with her for Old Master Song’s birthday banquet this time, her status as Madam Fu would certainly be more secure, making everyone envious.
That vile spawn Song Yunnian gave birth to was just a stepping stone.
She had originally intended to kill him off as soon as she successfully became pregnant with her own child, but she hadn’t expected that Fu Yanchen wouldn’t even touch her.
She could only endure and keep that brat around.
Seven years. She had endured long enough.
A dark glint flashed in Song Feier’s eyes. At Old Master Song’s birthday banquet, she would become the true Madam Fu!
Fu Yanchen didn’t refuse. “We’ll see.”
After dropping those three words, he went straight upstairs.

At the Song family villa, it was the day of Old Master Song’s birthday banquet.
In the garden, servants moved through the crowd carrying fine delicacies. Amidst the clinking of glasses, all the guests were busy flattering Old Master Song.
After all, by leaning on the Fu Family these past few years, the Song family had already joined the ranks of Yuncheng’s top-tier elite. There were plenty of people looking to curry favor.
Out of respect for the Fu Family, the guests tonight were each more influential than the last. Some were even secretly hoping Fu Yanchen would show up so they could climb the great tree that was the Fu Family.
Song Feier and Li Yurong had been greeting guests at the Song family home since early on. A group of socialites and heiresses surrounded the two, showering them with praise.
“Yurong, your daughter is truly capable. She gave birth to the eldest son and heir of the Fu Family. I wonder when she’ll have another? That would be a double blessing!”
“Sigh, you can’t even be jealous of such luck. Feier is not only beautiful but also started her own company. Unlike my Shuangyu, who isn’t bright at all!”
“Exactly! She’s already Madam Fu, yet she still works so hard. I heard that every seasonal release from Feier’s jewelry company is a massive hit. Everyone is scrambling to buy them.”
