The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 524

The next morning, Fu Weidong brought Jiang Ran to the Feng Family’s house, along with a huge pile of gifts.

The butler, seeing the twelve trucks loaded with gifts, was also shocked and somewhat at a loss for words.

"Miss Xi went to the Chinese Medicine College early this morning, and the master also left Emperor City early today. Master Ming went for a medical check-up with his new wife this morning, I’ll go report to Old Master Feng first."

Fu Weidong and Jiang Ran, learning that Jiang Moxi was not at home, couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

However, they thought, as long as they stayed at the Feng Family’s house, how could they not meet their future daughter-in-law?

When the butler vividly told Old Master Feng about the twelve trucks of gifts, Old Master Feng seemed thoughtful.

Because of the pomp that Fu Weidong had arranged, it seemed not so much like he was there to give gifts, but rather to propose marriage.

Yet as far as he knew, his granddaughter Xixi had no such feelings towards Fu Yinghuai.

He, the old man, could help Fu Weidong vent and sort out Fu Shaoquan’s son, but he could never sacrifice Xixi’s happiness.

So, after much thought, Old Master Feng decided to meet with Fu Weidong personally, to tell him not to make any more foolish moves.

Once they met, Fu Weidong handed him a paternity test report.

He also said, "Old Mr. Feng, this is my son, my own flesh and blood, and quite outstanding too. He should be worthy of your granddaughter."

Even Old Master Feng, with his wide experience, was caught off guard by the sudden revelation of this father-son relationship between Fu Weidong and Fu Youhan.

Thus, Jiang Ran personally relayed yesterday’s matters, as told by Chi Jing, to Old Master Feng.

She also said, "I think when two young people are in love, we elders don’t have a reason to stop them. Old Feng, don’t you agree?"

Old Master Feng was actually still troubled by the incident where Fu Youhan had originally caused injuries to Jiang Moxi.

Therefore, earlier in the matter concerning Fu Yinghuai, his help was said to be for taking revenge for Fu Weidong, but, in reality, it was also to cut down Fu Youhan’s sharpness.

But he had not expected that not long after that, not only had Fu Weidong switched sides to Fu Youhan, but now he had also become Fu Youhan’s staunch supporter.

Thus, Old Master Feng said, "I’m not sure about this matter, marriage is still ultimately Xixi’s own decision. Unfortunately, Xixi has a competition coming up. It’s better to talk about these matters after the competition is over."

Old Master Feng didn’t quite agree with this marriage, a sentiment both Fu Weidong and Jiang Ran could sense.

However, a proposal is not something to be rushed.

So they didn’t make a scene, Jiang Ran said, "Yes, yes, marriage is indeed about what the two young ones decide for themselves."

And Fu Weidong said, "Xiao Ran wants to meet the child, but I’ve been a bit too much in the matter concerning Yinghuai, and that youngster won’t give me face. So we thought to wait here for Xiao Xi, to see if we could get that youngster to come meet us."

Old Master Feng naturally couldn’t bear to refuse Fu Weidong’s request.

After all, he knew how Fu Weidong and Jiang Ran had struggled over the years...

After Jiang Moxi arrived at the Emperor City Chinese Medical College, she was called into the dean’s office by Fu Wangning.

At that moment, besides the dean, several other professors, Fu Wangning, and some staff from a live streaming platform were in the office.

They also held some live streaming equipment.

As soon as the dean saw Jiang Moxi, he hurriedly welcomed her in.

"Student Jiang, are you thirsty? Have you had breakfast? If not, I can have the cafeteria deliver a breakfast to you."

Fu Wangning saw the Dean warmly welcoming Jiang Moxi and felt that the Dean was being obsequiously flattering to Jiang Moxi because of the fear of the Feng Family’s power.

Thus, without waiting for Jiang Moxi to respond, Fu Wangning jokingly said, "Dean, Moxi’s family is quite wealthy, so she certainly wouldn’t be unable to afford a breakfast."

The Dean frowned, feeling that although Professor Fu was fine in other matters, she was too harsh when it came to Jiang Moxi.

Fortunately, Jiang Moxi didn’t seem to care much about these things.

She said, "It has nothing to do with being wealthy or not. My grandfather has always been very concerned about my health, so he insists that I eat breakfast every day. Otherwise, he won’t let me go anywhere."

But having said that, Jiang Moxi still told the Dean, "Nevertheless, thank you for your kindness, Dean."

The Dean couldn’t help but be inwardly amazed, truly worthy of being a girl raised by Old Man Feng, such magnanimity and demeanor is truly unparalleled.

Fu Wangning did not realize that her own words and actions had just undermined the dignity and breadth of spirit expected of a teacher, only feeling that Jiang Moxi was really putting on airs.

She didn’t want to continue facing Jiang Moxi’s false pretense and just wanted to tear apart her hypocritical facade as soon as possible.

So, she quickly moved past this topic and introduced the other people present to Jiang Moxi.

"These are the staff from the live streaming platform, they saw our news about the Traditional Chinese Medicine competition and were quite interested. They want to do a live broadcast about our competition."

Towards the end, Fu Wangning asked Jiang Moxi, "Moxi, you wouldn’t be scared and reluctant to accept the competition being live-streamed, right?"

Throughout this, Fu Wangning had a smile on her face, but the Dean felt that Fu Wangning was not genuinely inquiring about Jiang Moxi’s willingness to compete, but was clearly using reverse psychology, trying to force Jiang Moxi to agree to live broadcast the competition.

Indeed, the Dean originally had a good impression of Fu Wangning.

But after seeing her targeting Jiang Moxi several times, the Dean became more convinced that Fu Wangning was not an easy person to deal with.

The Dean couldn’t stand seeing Fu Wangning bully Jiang Moxi, so he directly said, "Student Jiang, if you don’t like being exposed in the public eye, you can refuse it."

Fu Wangning immediately frowned, "Dean, I think live broadcasting the competition will make it more fair and transparent!"

Fu Wangning was genuinely worried that the Dean’s intervention could disrupt her arranged live broadcast plans.

"Professor Fu, I think you are older than Student Jiang, and you have been studying Traditional Chinese Medicine longer than Jiang, who just entered the college. The competition itself is already unfair, and now you want to add a live broadcast?"

The Dean’s accusation left Fu Wangning somewhat embarrassed, even thinking that the live broadcast might not happen.

But fortunately, Jiang Moxi suddenly spoke up, "Dean, it’s okay. As long as Professor Fu doesn’t regret this proposal later."

Hearing Jiang Moxi’s response, Fu Wangning immediately smiled, "If you are not afraid, Moxi, what would I possibly regret?"

Then, Fu Wangning urged the staff to quickly get the live broadcast agreement signed.

Before Jiang Moxi signed, the Dean hesitated several times.

Finally, it was Jiang Moxi who reassured, "Dean, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry."

"Alright then, I’ll call your grandfather later."

The Dean was genuinely worried that if Old Man Feng found out Fu Wangning was arranging a live broadcast, adding pressure on his beloved granddaughter, he might confront him on the spot.

Previously, Fu Wangning thought that the atmosphere at Emperor City Chinese Medical College was quite good, even considering staying to teach here long-term after this academic event.

But now seeing the Dean’s fear towards Jiang Moxi and the Feng Family, she felt she would have to be crazy to decide to stay and teach here.
